asked him once why he attended
such gatherings, and he took me aside
and informed Inc, in mysterious,
confidential whisper, that he did 1t
solely "for political reasons" an an
swer designed to impress me with the
belief that his influence in local state
craft was of the most substantial sort.
To-day Jabez Fairweather's name is
household word throughout the
and breadth of the region in which
he dwells, while in the neighborhood
of Tierce & Firkin's place of business
he has acquired eveu greater fame as
man whose subtle and mysterious
influence in primaries and at the polls
could make Presidents and undo cabi-
nets. '
He has reaped the reward Of many
years of hard work and now, within
the shade of his own vine and fig tree,
enjoys the degree OF prominence such
as falls to the lot of but few mortals.
But he Is more exclusive now in re-
gard to the gatherings which he hon.
ors with his presence, and that politi-
clan is deemed lucky who can point to
the impressive black-coated figure on
the platform and exclaim: at is a
positive source of pleasure to me, gen.
tlemen, to know that my views are en-
dorsed by no less person than that
sterling citizen and unfinching Demo-
crat, the Hon. Jabez Fairweather,
who occupies place on this platform
tonight" ~,.- o.. =,
And the strangest part of il is that
in all his life he has never exerted
particle of influence or done a single
thing to raise himself above the level
of mediocrity in which he was born.

Dennis, I'll give you quarter il
you'll take my dog to the pond and
give him swim," said farmer to a
native of Erin who was in search of
work.
Dennis agreed, took the quarter and
the dog and started off. He entered
the first public house he came to, spent
the quarter, asked the landlord for a
pail of water, which he threw over the
dog, and then went back.
The farmer, however, noticed that
the underpart of the dogs body was
quite dry and on taxing Dennis with
the fraud got the reply:
"Faith sorr, thar dog can only swim
on its back."--N. Y. Mercury.

Utilizing Coarse Foods.

1t may not be generally known that
poultry will accept ensilage as a por-
tion of the winter ration, and that the
blades of cured corn fodder, when cut
fine aud scaded, will be eaten readilY'
but such is the fact, and in the cold
skason, when no bulky food can be
obtained, the hens will eat almost
.eyerything that cows will. Nor is
sucy food anAt for them. as they re-
quife bulky food and enjoy the varie-
ty. More eggs will be secured if the
hens are thas fed instead of receiving
grain eny Me. Farmer.

English Beef Superseded.

? The effort of English farmers to keep
out American and Canadian beef by
scares about danger from pleuro-
pneumonia finds explanation in late
statistics, showing the enormous in.
crease in the foreign imports of beef
and other meat products into Great
Britain. A select committee of the
English House of Lords has lately in
vestigated this subject, and contrary
to the expectation Of British meat pro-
ducers, it reports that the imported
meats are much better than had been
supposed. One-tLird of the meat
used in England is now imported,
With the great advertisement which
this committees report will give the
foreign meat trade this proportion is
sure to be largely increased. The
best qualities OF imported meats, such
as New leland mutton and the best
American beet, can hardly be distin-
guished even by experts from the best
of the English home production,
While this is no fraud on the buyer it
Is an injury to the American producer
who is robbed of the credit which
properly belongs to him for furnishing
o good art!cle.--American Cultivator.

Present Care Of Stock.

Feed is unusually short in the pastur-
es this fall. Now don't let the young
cattle remain in the back lot hungry
and shrinking every day in weight.
There can be no economy in keeping
stock without grain or product. II
stock is short of the needed feed while
yet running at pasture then make it
up in some form. We have found it a
good practice to house such stock
at night and give liberal feeding of
good hay. Me. Farmer.

We understand that the house of Pom

pagne is believed to be the largest in the
world and commands the highest price in
the market, has purchased the entire
vintage of last year, which is of excellent
quality in every way, but proved small
in quantity. The prices paid for this
vintage being the highest ever known,
the purchase has cost that great firm the
large sum of over e600, 200, transaction
of magnitude never equaled in the trade
by any firm or company. Their cellars
are visited by about 5000 people in the

Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Sat a meeting
of the Senate Judiciary Committee to-day
there was some opposition to the nomi-
nation of Judge Jackson to succeed JUS
tice Lamar, and the nomination went
over under the rules. The objection was
chiefly based on the principle that the
outgoing President should not make an
important life appointment.
There are many inquiries as to the
reasons which led President Harrison to
appoint Democrat to succeed the late
Justice Lamar on the Supreme bench.
The statement comes very direct that he
was led to do this because of Republican
opposition to his making any nomination,
and the responsibility for the failure to
nominate a Republican is said to lie upon
twelve Republicans in the Senate who
determined to oppose any confirmation
proposed by the President.
1t was at first his intention to nominate
either Judge Emery Speer or Judge Par
dee. On making inquiries among the
Republican Senators as to which would
be the most apt to secure a ready nomi-
nation, he discovered that there were
about twelve Republican Senators who
would oppose any confirmation, partly
on account Of their personal antagonism
to the President and partly on account of
their desire TO bring other matters to the
front in the Senate.
At first, on discovering this, Harrison
decided that he would not send in any
nomination. He held to his purpose un-
ha of IS /.
became convinced that Democrat might
be confirmed with the aid of Democratic
Senators. He then decided to send in
nomination to be confirmed, and whose
confirmation would give a very i'm
portant Circuit Judgeship to be filed.
The Republican Senators who opposed
his making the appointment will proba-
bly, try to prevent confirmation, and there
appears to be strong probability that they
may succeed, unless advantage be taken
OF Senatorial courtesy" which discoun-
tenances delay in action on a nomination
of an ex-senator. The matter will be
forced to the front with promptness.
II the confirmation is secured promptly.
it is expected the President will nominate
Judge W. o. Bradley of Kentucky, who
is one of the prominent leaders of the
Southern Republicans and very prom
inently spoken of at Minneapolis for the
nomination for the Vice-Presidency, to
succeed Judge Jackson on the Circuit
Bench.
The fact that Judge Jackson was IA
vored by Justice Brown of the Supreme
Bench and by President Harrison's
brother, if Republican could not be
confirmed, had some influence in induc-
ing the appointment of Judge Jackson
under the existing circumstances.

The San Francisco delegation held a
brief session yesterday afternoon, Sena-

Francisco appeared in the interest of
Senator Williams bill, No. 1896, an Act to
provide for the payment for private
property heretofore actually taken for
public use and for which no compensa-
ton has been made. A similar bill
passed both houses two years ago for the
relief of Mrs. Cote, whose property had
been used for public purposes, but it
failed OF the Governors sanction. The
committee rereterred the original bill to
the Judiciary Committee, with recon-
mendatiOn of immediate action.
1t was recommended that an Act to re-
peal an Act entitled an Act in relation to
the House of Correction in San Fran
cisco, pass. 1t provided that persons SEN
fenced to the House of Correction shall
serve their term in the County Jail in the
county where sentence is passed. This
bill was thought necessary in view of the
insecure condition of the buildings of the
House of Correction.
