the President asked Congress to stop.
or at least to abridge, its achievement
in seed distribution.
The matter is important just now,
because this Is the season for the send
ing out of the packages. The WASH
ington News says many congressman
are hard at work, and, Ct course, these
are busy times in the Agricultural De.
partment. Each member Of Congress,
whether he be Senator or Representa-
tive, is entitled to 10000 packages.
The seeds this year are intended for ex.
perimental purposes, and those who re-
ceive them r expected to s%endrepOrts
on the results. 1t is not likely that the
farmer will get much out of the Wilson
bill, and If he is wise he will hurry in
his order for O share of the free seeds.
Reed to the Farmers.
One other thing I have noticed in
this debate. When the gentleman
from Kansa, (Mr. Simpson, get,a little
money ahead, he does not put 1t into
stocks in these immensely profitable
manufactures. He has too much sense.
He adds to his farm and he has told us
SO. Example is richer than precept.
If the hope of agriculturists Is in
English free trade. they had better
ponder on the fact that while the wages
of artisans have increased in England
Ss2.4a per week since 1850, the wages Of
agricultural laborers have only in-
creased q cents, and while the Ian.
cashire operatives in the factories live
as we'll as anybody except Americans,
the agricultural laborers are hardly
better off than the continental peas.

The bland Biu.
The House passed the Bland silver
bill which provides for the coinage Of
the seigniorage. The seigniorage is
the bullion held in the treasury to
guarantee the value Of the previously
issued silver certificates. To coin that
bullion now is equivalent to dispoeino
OF a collateral held to secure an obli-
CATION.
AS exc Congressman Hewitt has aptly
termed it, it is a proposition to coin :
vacuum. But the Democrats have
eve cared very much for q financial
policy. II they have . policy at all It
Is much like that Of the old farmer
Who when dying, gave . bit OF parting
advice to his son: Get money, mys on;
get It honestly II thee can, buf-net
money. '-Dolgeville Herald.

went 10 hin and succeeded in paclfy-

became boisterous again. The Olieer
told him lie must be quiet and must
put away a shotgun with which he had
been making demonstrations. Hogan,
after using some eOneiliatOry but firm
counsel with Beehlol, started to walk
away when Becht i, who was al or III

Hogan a vile name fired at him, a load
of buckshot SCATTERING his arm and "A
portion penetrating the chest and
lurgs. The officer had pulled his re-
yOlYer as he saw BechtOl's intent to
shoot. but the charge disabled tho hand
in which he held his pistol so that he
WAS compelled to support it with the
other hand while he fired; neverthe-
less his aim was good and he brought
BeehtOl down with IA shot through the
body in the region Of the kidneys.

Grover stood on the FREQ Grade deck,
Whence all hut him had fed;
His silver bill around his neck
And vetoes in his head.
Not beautiful, he stubborn Stood,
n sought to rule the storm;
A creature of the mugwump blood,
Though democrat in form.
His party called, he would not go
Without the the mugwump's word;
The winds through PETERS whiskers blew
But Grover never heard.
He called aloud: "say, Gresham, say,
If yet my task be done
Protection have webusted up,
Free tade for England won?n
Gresham was working at his best, 4
A project low and mean,
To crush republics IN the west
And seat a negro queen.
The "Tiger" in his New York lair
Was up TO other fun;
The banks and brokers well must fare,
Said Dana and his Sun.
The Bay state democrats appeared
To be in awful need;
The logic of events they feared,
Aud that of Thomas Reed.
While from Iowa came a cry,
A sad, heart breaking noise,
"Comc up and help us OF we die.
Or Jaeksoull wollop Boisel"
The unemployed OF every hand
Were crying: ''Give us bread;
Your free trade talk has wrecked the land
And killed industry dead"
On Growers brow he felt their breath,
But on the free trade deck
He knew not lurked his party's death,
And set his stubborn neck.
He shouted but once more aloud,
"Lcok ut the greatI am,
Free trade or bust shall be my shrou1,
Mckinley is q claml"
The ballots soon were flying round
Projections tide was high;
The ballot boxes soon were piled
"Down with free tradel" the cry.
Then came the burst of Thunder sound,
A loud protection peal;
Mckinley bombs were flying round
And killed poor Larry Neal.
Boies, Maynard, Russell, where are they?
Aud Cleveland, where is he?
Ask the winds that far away
With fragments strew the sea.
With tigers, cranks and brigadiers,
To free trade college dude
And Grover at the last appears,
Innoouous desuetude.

What is a Miners Inch.

The mode of measurment of the
miners inch of water varies in differ
ent localities, but the accepted legal
measure is that quantity of water
winch will flow through an openining
of one square inch IN the bottom of a
vessel under a mean pressure of 4 in
ches. Fifty of the above miners in
ches is equivalent to a discharge of n
cubic foot Of water per second.
TO get the number of gallons in min
ers inches, multiply the given number
of inches by 14,916, pointing off five
decimals, The result will be the NUN
Der Of gallons discharged per second.
To get the miners inch in gallons di-
vide the number Of gallons flow or dis
charge per minute, by S9706. The re
suit will be the number of inches

regard TO speculative forecasts Of the
result of the commissions work In Chi
cago:
IAN DEMONSTRATIONS as 10 what the
strike commission will recommend are
purely guess-work. The commission has
not indicated in any way what II viii
do as the result of the investigation. The
inquiry was conducted with great sue
cess. in our estimation. All of the prn-
cipal parties involved, both on the side
Of the labor unions. and on the part OF the
railroads and the Pullman company, came
freely before the commission at its in
vitation. and gave every opportunity for
the fullest and most searching inquiry
into their affairs.
1.-THE commission will meet again in
Washington on the 18th instant, for the
purpose of taking supplemental testimony
that may be required by either party, or
that the commission itself may deem ne
cessary for its full deliberation- The CON-
mission Will aim to make a report 10 the
President about the middle Of November.
