sands OF workmen, it would seem m
present hopeless case for reasonabIe
legislation. Whatever else is done
or omitted, l earnestly repeat here the
recommendation | have made in an
other portion OF this communication
that the additional duty of l-lOth Of a
cent per pound laid upon sugar i'm
ported from countries paying a bounty
on It's export he abrogated. 1t seems to
me that exceedingly important con.
siderations point to the propriety OF this
amendment with the advent of new
tariff policy not only calculated to re-
lleve the consumers of our land in the
cost OF their daily life; but to invite a
better development of American thrift
and create for us closer and more profit
able commercial relations with the rest
OF the world, it follows as a logical and
imperative necessity that we should at
once remove the chief, if not the only
obstacle which has so long prevented
our participation in the foreign
carrying trade of the sea. A
tariff built upon the theory that
it is well to check imports, and that
a home market should bound the indus
try and effort OF American producers.
was fifty supplemented by refusal to
allow American registry to vessels built
abroad, though owned and navigated bv
our own people, thus exhibiting willing
ness to abandon all contest for the ad-
vantage OF American trans-oceanic car
rlage. Our new tariff policy, built upon
the theory that it is well to encourage
such lmportations as our people need,
ana that our products and manufactures
should find markets in every part of the
habltable globe, is consistently supple
mented by the greatest possible liberty
to our citizens in the ownership and
navigation of ships in which our prod
ucts and manufacturers may be trans
ported. The millions now paid foreign
ers, for carrying American passengers
ana products across the sea should be
turned into American hands. Shin
building, which has been protected to
strangulation, should be revived by the
prospect of profitable emoloyment for
ships when built, and the American
sailor should be resurrected and again
take his place, sturdy and industrious
citizen in time of peace and a patriotic
and safe defender of American interests
in the days of conflict. The ancient
provision of our law, denying American
registry to ships built abroad and
owned by Americans, appears in the
light of present conditions not only to
be a failure for good at every point, but
to be nearer relic of barbarism than
anything that exists under the per-
mission of statute of the United |
States. l earnestly recommend its
prompt repeal.

Conclusion,

l conclude this communication, fully
appreciating that the responsibility for
all legislation affecting the people of the
United States rests upon their rep
resentatives in congress, and assuring
them that whether in accordance with
the recommendation l have made, or
not, shall be glad to cooperate in per-
fecting any legislation that tends to the
prosperity and welfare of our country.

BUT HAS SHE MODIFIED IT?


WASHINGTON, December 3.-It is stated
there is good reason to believe that the
Congressional committee investigating
the charges OF malfeasance against Judge
Kicks at Cleveland thinks that there
has been much to substantiate the
charges against him. 1t is further said
if the recommendation Of the commit
tee are carried out that the House will
be confronted with report calling on
the Senate to sit in impeachment.

Rain Needed In California.

SAN DIEGO, December 3.-The loss OF
cattle in California, as a result OF the
long continued drouth, will run into
hundreds. T. Crosthwaite has lost a
large number. The Rancho Arguello re-
ports the loss OF quite a herd. Other
ranchers in all parts Of the peninsula
have suffered in similar manner. 1t

five years,

THE TREATMENT OF DRY COWS

They Should be Fed With Such Food as
VIII Furnish an Abundance of Nutri-
tIon without Largely Increasing the
Proportion of Fat.
A COW that is dry should be fed with
such food as will furnish an abundance
of nutrition without largely increasing
the proportion of fat. 1t is the poorest
kind OF economy to let dry COW run
down in flesh, and it is almost as bad to
make her fat. She should be kept in a
good thrifty condition and in as perfect
health as possible, for not only the
health of her offspring and its future
value OF beef or milk depends on these
things, but the value of the cow as q
mixer is effected for good or bad by her
condition during the period of CESSATION.
If a COW is skin poor at the time the calf
is dropped, she will not give as much
milk as she would il in good condition,
nor can she be fed so as to increase her
flow to what it would have been if she
had been properly cared for. 1t is quite
a common thing to have cows come in
in the fall for winter mixers, and these
are drying during that part of the year
when pasturage is ut it's poorest and in
sects are most numerous, and from these
two causes dairy cattle are likely to be-
come reduced in flesh. If dry cows are
not attended to at this time and given q
supplementary, ration they often become
thin and out of condition, and when
once this happens it is hard to bring
them back. it follows that the best
course is to prevent this from occurring,
for upon attention to this matter de-
pends the profit from keeping the COW.

Error as to Nicaragua.
LONDON, December st is author
itatively stated that there is no truth in
the statement that the English govern
ment had admitted that its Minister to
Bluefields had exceeded his powers with
regard to the Bluefelds incident, and
that he would be recalled. 1t is learned
Great Britain has informed Nicaragua
she could not recognize certain DEGREES
regarding land registration and other
matters which Great Britain holds with
out violating the treaty with Nicaragua.
The statement that Great Britain re-
fused to recognize the new Nicaraguan
government at Bluefelds is positively
denied. The question was not one oi
sovereignty Of Nicaragua over the Mos
quito coast. which Great Britain had
already acknowledged in the above men,
toned treaty.
BUT HAS SHE MODIFIED IT?
WASHINGTON, December 3.-The sud-
denly modified attitude Of Great Britain
toward Nicaragua is attributable, in the
opinion OF naval officers, solely to the
positive determination of the United

Warmth I'm the winter Dairy.

Warmth is as necessary in dairy in
the winter as cold is in the summer.
There is no better winter dairy for the
farmer than dry, well-lighted cellar
half above the ground, having double
windows, a substantial stone or brick
wall and a plastered ceiling overhead.
With a ventilator passing into CHM
ney, and some simple means for warm
ing it such cellar is indispensable for
this use. 1t may be heated in the SIM
plest manner. A sheet-iron pail half
full of wood Goals from fire, a boiler Of
hot water, q small oil stove or very
small charcoal stove will be sufficient to
keep the right temperature during the
coldest weather. A few red-hot bricks
or blocks of iron set on fat stone may
be sufficient under some circumstances.

Department of Agriculture.


The secretary OF agriculture in his re-
port, reviews the operations of his de-
partment for the last fiscal year, and
makes recommendations for the further
extension of its usefulness. He reports
saving in the expenditure during the
year OF 5000, 900, which is covered back
into the treasury. This sum is % per
cent of the entire appropriation. A
special study has been made of the de-
mand for American farm products IN
all foreign markets, and especially
Great Britain. That country received
from the United States during the nine
months, ending September 80, 1894,
3O5,9l0 live beef cattle, valued at $685.
100000 as against 1851 cattle valued
at $l6,624, 200, during the same
period for 1898. During the first
six months of 1894, the United King
dom took also 112,000,000 pounds OF
dressed beef from the United States,
valued at nearly $10,000,000. The re-
port shows that during the nine months
Immediately preceding September 80,
1894, the United States exported to
Great Britain 22,676,000 pounds OF
pork; Of apples, 100000, valued at
1-iNvOhNOO, anu vi lIOl ACOl, hu dii
average value of $3.50 per head. There
was falling off in American exports oi
wheat of 13,500,000 bushels, and the
secretary is inclined to believe that
wheat may not, in the future, be the
staple export cereal product of our
country, but that corn will continue to
advance in Importance as an export on
account OF the new uses to which it is
constantly appropriated.
The exports of agricultural products
from the United States for the fiscal
year, ending June 80, 1894, amounted to
Sb2S, 1888, ,O3S, being 1928 per cent OF the
american exports of every description,
and the United Kingdom OF Great
Britain took more than 54 per cent oi
al farm products finding foreign mar
kets.
AN AGRICULTURAL CENSUS.
further important utility in agricul-
tural statistics is found in the elucida-
uon OF the relation of the supply OF farm
products to the demand for them in the
markets OF the United States, and OF the
world 1t is deemed possible that an ag-
Lcultural census may be taken each year
tnfough the agents OF the statistical di-
vision OF the department. Such course
Is commended for trial by the chief oi
thatdivision. Its scope would be: First,
the area under each OF the more impor-
talt crops; second, the aggregate prod
ucts OF such crops; third, the quantity
ol wheat and corn in the hands OF farm
ers at date after the spring sowings
ana paintings, and before the beginning
ol harvest, and also the quantity of cot
ION and tobacco remaining in the hands
ol planters either at that date or at some
other designated time. The cost OF the
work is estimated at $500,000.

Best Temperature of Water for Stock.
There is nothing better for all farm
animals than pure well water. The
temperature of it is the best possible.
Warm water is nauseous to an animal
as to person the refreshing effect of
cool draught of water we all know.
Just the same we all know how ice-cold
water makes the teeth ache and the
whole body shiver, as it takes the heat
from the blood to become warm itself.
A temperature Of 55 or go degrees.is the
very best for the animals in the winter,
and water from any good well will be
somewhere near enough to this. The
water should be pumped into the troughs
for use, and the troughs drained and
Immediately covered as soon as the stock
have drunk, 30 that snow or ice will not
gather in them.

A Nervy Fellow.

Mr.. Augustus J. Gilman lives on Storer
street, in the house formerly owned by the
late sJudge Fox. Thursday night sabout 6
o'clock the servant thought she heard a
noise in the stable which was locked up.
She Immediately opened the stable door
and entered to see what was the matter.
To her surprise she found Mr.. GilmaI's
horse standing in the centre of the stable
floor with an old sEnglish.saddle and bride
on him but no one in sight. The woman
proceeded to investigate still farther and
found rear window open and onslookine
outssaw "a man climbing over ssthe fence be-
hind the stable. She went into the house
and told Mr.. Gilman about the matter ..and
ne took the saddle and bride off the horse
and put him back into his stall. Mr. Gilman
is sure that he.had never. seen that saddle
until he found it on his horses back and
the supposition is that the man brought the
saddle with him on purpose to aid him in
getting off with the horse. But after Mr..
Gilman had returned to the house the door
bell rang. Mr.. Gilman went to the door
and there stood "a man partly under the in
auence. of liquor, whom the servant says
she is sure was .the:same .she saw climbing
over the fence in the rear of the house.
Officer Phillips was called and told about
the matter and took the saddle and Bride
to the police station,

THE LION CHAINED.
Hon. John W. behring's Speech at the Raj
~ Was Very Milk and Watery.

There was an alleged rally by the de-
moralized forces of the Democrats at
Westbrook last night. 1t occurred in
Odd Fellows hall where a corporals
guard of the unterrifed gathered and
sought to keep up their courage. It was
melancholy attempt. At every pre-
vious meeting in Odd Fellows hall (they
have been Repu blican) standing room
has been at a premium, but last night
the floor was but scantily occupied. 1t
was the general wish that William Ly
ons preside and he did so with great
deal of resignation.
Hon. John W. Deering was the first
speaker. He mentioned the sheriff s
Office several times and also referred at
length to the paper mills, but he CARE
full avoided the tariff. He endeavored
to find something in the administration
ito eulogize and by tracing back to the
first administration of Cleveland he
found where the inspection of rags had
been taken from the state department
and placed under the board of health.
Ills speech was very tame. The next
speaker was Hon. Harvey Sheppard of
Bsoton, who spoke on Protection VS..
Free Trade. He made fine speech
from Democratic standpoint.

THE eoRHAM MEETING.
1t Had to be Postponed as Governor
Greenhalge Missed Train Connections.

Governor Greenhalge of Massachusetts,,
was W nave addressed the Republicans OF
0ofham last evening, and all preparations
nau oeen made for large meeting. There
was general interest in the town to hear
Inc eloquent and POPULAR chief magistrate

all parts of the town drove to the village.
Governor Greenhalge was to have been
entertained by Ex-Governor Robe. About
O'Clock in the afternoon Governor ROBBIE
received telegram from Governor Green
halge at Aennebunk, saying that he would
come along on the late.afternoon train. The
next word received was telegram from
him from Yarmouth, saying that he had
missed connection and could-not reach Cor
nam. 1t Is evident that in making inquir-
les for Gorham, Governor Greenhalge was
directed towards Gorham. n. H., for which
connection is via Yarmouth, instead of to-
wards Gorham, Ne. for which the connec-
ton is at Westbrook Junction.
Governor Robbie and the members of the
town committee, after consultation, de-
cided that the meeting would better be post
poned until tonight when it is hoped that
Governor Greenhalge will be able to be pre-
sent. His summer home is at Kennebunk,
with easy distance of Gorham.
Special Reporters were at Gorham for
both Portland and Boston papers, one hav-
ing been sent directly fl Boston. Cover
nor and Mrs. Robbie extended the hospitality
of their home to the wondering land disap-
pointed newspaper men, and also ito the
members of the Gorham town committee.
