some time In February last, ! called on
Mr.. Harrison Guptill of Porter, one OF
our mo.t enterprising farmers, Who In
,i,ed me into his barn To see his stock
.nd ..look around" as he expressed IL.
With much pleasure ! looked over hi-
stock. the sight ot which would delight
any farmer having q fancy for nice cat
tie. IIis neat stock consisted of the fol-
loving described animals:
Four cows. q Cro.s between Durham
aud Ilerviord-good mixers aud good
stock brceders.
Three last spring cal,es-.ieers-two
of them measuring better than II, ;
In, and matched.
Two y.arllng steer, measuring H.,
: In. q perfect match and handy.
Two 5-year-old steers, measuring
strong feet, which he has repeatedly
refused 10 sell for $40, and think they
have but fe~, u any, suPefiors Ia the

Two oxen years old, measuring bet
ter than It., y In, nice looking and
good workers.
Two oxen years old, measuring a.,
in, which sre extremely fat. These
oxen he Intends soou Ia sell for beef.
Mr.. Guptill has NJ ribbons, indicating
IN. number Of premiums his stock has
Won Al the several fairs Ia his vicinity,
mostly for first prif.s.
lie thinks u L. economy to keep peat
stock we'll stalled Ia warm and tidy
barns, away from piercing winds aud
storm. during our cold winters, and that
they be- fed liberslly on good, nutritious
iccd, aud full supply Of pure water
given them.
The feed 20 hi. stock he Intend. to be
given regularly, which consists of hay,
sn.ilsge, aud fair amount of corn and
cotton seed meal. lie has .ilo that
will hold from SO To ca tons Of en.llsge,
and last fall be- put Into II a good sup
ply of corn fodder. which has kept In
the very best condition and is ss nice
.n.llaye as can be produced. lie has fed
hl. stock one liberal feed of this ensilsge
la the morning. At noon he feeds them
on hay, and 81 night again on sllage with
their ration Of meal strewed on top.
Mr.. Guptill ssys that he has come To
the conclusion that no man can run =
farm With economy without . silo. lie
says Il Is one Of the indispensable things
on q farm, Ia these perilous times, aud,
that he knows that In order 10 have good
.llage, great care should be exercised In
putting In the fodder. lie believes IL

done so, or attempted to, though the ap-
peals have been numerous. But when
the petition is based on the charge that
the prosecution of the accused is not for
the purpose of vindicating the law and
evolving the truth, but to accomplish the
revenge of railroad companies; that the
indictments were found by the Grand
jury, and the trials are conducted by the
courts of the people in the interest of
private revenge and not in the cause of
justice. the appeal loses such virtue as it
may have had, and strips from it every
particle of sympathy that might have
been awakened by it.
The simple fact is that this effort to in
flame people against the law and its adj
ministration by the courts IS not only
contemplate, anarchistic and mean, but
it is insulting to the intelligence of
American citizens, and dangerous as
well. 1t is likewise babyish, and the
men who advance the plea ought to be
ashamed of it.

injured more or less, the New York Post
says; "If the mauling and blood-letting
are only done according to the rules, the
result must be regarded as only gentle

college authorities do not step in and as
sert their authority. Wonder, indeed;
that is what ali the country does. 1t may
be necessary TO carry off the field half
dozen students dead, to cause wonder to
give way to action by authority.

method of selecting election officials. OF
what earthly use is it to hold an election
if the will of the people may be defantly
Suppressed by the rascality and cool viii

well to provide for the selection Of cleo
ton boards through the agency of the

HIGH SOUNDING NONSENSE.

Adolph Sutro has the happy faculty of
nothing. AT the banquet given to the
miners in San Francisco Mr.. Sutro deliv-
cred himself as follows:
''The mining industry is the most i'm
portant one we have. The produce of the
agriculturist is eaten up, while the pro-
duct of mining adds to the wealth of the
world"
Mr.. Sutro's idea evidently is that DUR
able things are part of the permanent
wealth of the country. To him sole
leather steak would be worth more than
tender porter-house steak, because the
sole-leather steak could not be eaten up,
while the porter-house steak would be
consumed and disappear. If wealth con-
sists of durable material. iron is more
durable than gold. Gold erodes and
wastes away. 1t is a soft metal, while
iron and steel resist erosion. Gold is
valuable only because 1t is an instrument
OF commerce. 1t is the sign or mark of
value, possessing, it is true, an intrinsic
value, but it does not support human life.
1t cannot maintain the capacities of men
for production, and 1t is in this product
i've capacity that the wealth of the world
consists. When Mr. Sutro draws a COM
parison between the produce of the agri-
culturist and gold, favorable to the lat
ter, because the agricultural product is
eaten, he is mistaking the representative
of the value for the value itself; he is
mistalling the thing for the matter it
stands for. Gold is measure OF values
standard Of measurement by which ex-
change is effected. 1t is the means. by
which men engaged in diversity of pro-
duction exchange between themselves
the commodities they produce. 1t is the
servitor of distribution; but if there was
nothing to distribute. if it had no Office
to perform, it would cease to have value.
If it ceased to be the standard of ex-
change il would have such value only as
the mechanics arts would confer upon it.
1t is used or consumed in coinage, and
which coinage use is a competitor with
the mechanics arts in its use. Ii all the
gold in the world was withdrawn from
coinage and thrown onto the market, the
manufacturing arts could not consume it,
and it would therefore decline in value to
probably ten, fifteen or twenty per cent.
of it's present value. 1t serves the pur-
pose analogous 10 that served by the bot
tie in which wine is transported from one
country TO another. If Mr.. Sutro had
said that the man who makes glass
bottle is engaged in producing permanent
wealth, while the man who makes wine
to put into that bottle is engaged in an
ephemerous calling, he would Save said
something analogous to what he is re-
ported to have said. The bottle remains
after the wine is consumed; therefore the
bottle is more valuable than the wine.
