THE HOG is KING.

Farmers who have hogs to sell are
finding them to be about as good as a
gold mine. The opening of the Euro
pean market which has been SO long
closed to this country has had some
effect upon the prices paid, but the
principal cause seems to be the scar
city of hogs. The two together are
the source of the high price. The
Cincinnati Price Current has been col
Letting information from points
which handled SO per cent. Of the hogs
packed in the west last winter, and
finds that there has been a decrease of
2,131, 900, or about Al per cent. since
the first of November last as compar-
ed with the same period year ago.
1t is estimated that for the four
months ending March 1st, the total
pack will be 100000 hogs against
1851 900 for the same period last year
The shortage is said to be far great
er now in proportion to the popula-
ton, than it was in 1882 when hogs
were selling at SO. There are indica-
tions that prices will go still higher,
and just where they will stop is
problem. This great deficiency in
hogs means that for the next one or
two years hog raising will prove a
most profitable business, and the
farmer who goes at it judiciously will
make some money. Of course re-
lapse in the market will soon come,
and the prices which the farmer will
next winter receive, will not very
likely approach these now being paid,
but they will undoubtedly pay lib
eral profit, for 1T will take some little
time to again stock up the market to
a point where the oVer-supply begins.
No doubt the inclination everywhere
will be to rush into pork-ralsing with
out regard to consequences, and when
the reaction comes there will be many
losers. But he who goes at it cautious
ly, in connection with his other lines
of farming, will realize a handsome
profit therefrom.

The death of James G. Blaine for
chilly recalls the fact that January,
1893, has been peculiarly fatal
month for well known men. Butler,
Hayes, Brooks, Lamar and Blaine
have all bowed to the will of the great
destroyer and passed to their final
rest. They were all mer &C great en-
ergy, endowed with great intellectual
qualities, who made great impress
sion upon the times in which they
lived. They were totally unlike,
and took widely different paths to
reach the objects for which they liv-

a stamp which the world can lily af-
ford to lose and it will look long for
those to fill their places. Each did
the work which was allotted him,

THE Kansas Populists after GUST
ing suffiient number of Republicans,
so as to allow an equal number of their
own party to go through the motions
of sitting with them, have finally cho-
sen United States Senator in the
person of John Martin, Topeka law
yer, who is Democrat. Because he
is Democrat they think there will
be no trouble in getting the United
States Senate to admit him to seat.

Mr.. Cleveland keeping quiet. Had
