FIGURES FOR FARMERS.
How tho Democrats Have Kept Thei
 Promises to the People.

Promises to the People.
 During the presidential campaign oi 1892 democratic press and orators ap. pealed to the farmers of the country tc vote for democracy and prosperity. They were told that with the admins. tration in the hands of the democratic party there would be an increased value of all farm products, that markets S.ould be extended, and that these would o->eu up to the agricuiturists an era of prosperity such as the country had not seen. Regardless of the effect of former democratic administrations on the interests of the country, many farmers took democracy at its word, and Mir. Cleveland was elected presi. dent and the control of both branches of the national legislature was given to the democratic party. Now two years have passed and it is interesting for the farmers to know how de- mocracy has fulfilled its pledge. The agricultural department, presided over by democrat, has given out figures which show the average farm values of certain products during the year 1894 When those figures are placed side by side with the average values of the same products in 1892, the farmers can see exactly how they have been profit ed. Here are the figures:

 sand Dollars for the Missing Doctor. KANSAS CITY, Mo, Feb. 1S.-When the various insurance companies in which Dr. FralSer held policies on his life confessed judgment it was stipu. lated with the heirs that the money was not to be paid until the expiration of six months.

Circulars have been sent to every agent of the five interested companies offering reward of $40, 900 for the apprehension of Dr. Fraker. Every detective agency in the world has been sent circular The companies feel that they must pay out that amount and they would rather do it for the apprehension of the doctor than to satisfy his heirs.

But judging from the result of the last election, the farmers did not wait for those figures. They saw the mis- take and proceeded in most emphatic manner to rectify it. The ''good old democratic times" is no longer cry to conjure with.
 Another thing the farmers have discov- cred. They have seen republican laws repealed which opened up to them for. eign markets for their surplus product. These laws were repealed, not because the reciprocity treaties were not work. ing in the interests of the producers of the United States, but because they were enacted by the republican party. The past year has been full of lessons to the American farmer, and there is little doubt that he has profited by them.-Toledo Blade.

In a year and ten days the principal oi the public debt has increased $162, ,O00,. 900, and before the maturity of the bonds the interest charges will amount to about S134 100000 more.

Financial Bosii.

The bombastic talk of Vest and Will liam l.. Wilson about comfortable sur plus in the treasury" is simply of a piece with the disastrous financial bosh with which they have been deluding the people for years. The cold, unmis- talsa ble facts are that in January the treasury ran behind S6,700,000 in ordi- nary expenditures, not including S2,- :0O,O00 for redemption of bonds which had become due. This made total deficit for the month of Ss, 900, GOO, or at the rate of more than S1oO,oOO, O0O a year. Their recklessness of statement is the more glaring when it is recol- lected that at the very time they were making it the committees to which they belong were anxiously consider ing proposition to increase the taxes on whisky and beer to help fill the drained treasury.-National Tribune.

sB" When the democratic party went out of power in 1860 the government was borrowing money at twelve per cent. year. After the war the repub- lican party reestablished the public credit, so that the government was able to place bonds at steadily improv- ing rates, until, during President Ar thurs administration, it was offered all the money it wanted at two per cent. The offer was declined because it did not need the money. Now demo- cratic administration is borrowing again at four per cent.-Indianapolis Journal,

PENSION QUESTIONS SETTLED,
Several Important Decisions Promulgated
 by Assistant Secretary Reynolds.

Several Important Decisions Promulgated
 by Assistant Secretary Reynolds.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-Some impor tant decisions on the pension question have been promulgated by Assistant Secretary of the Interior Reynolds. In the case of Frederick w. Kerncr. of New Jersey. Judge Reynolds holds that where a soldier pensioned on ac. count of deafness walks alongside of a railroad track to save distance and is struck by car and injured, the injury is primarily due to his own negligence and only remotely, if at all, to his own deafness If he is subject to some in. tirmity which increases the risks, it is held that his obligation to avoid the dangerous situation is so much the greater. To establish claim for pen sion increase because of injuries al legged to have been incurred by reason of the disability questionable, it must be satisfactorily shown that the acci dent was directly occasioned by the pre-existing disability, and not due tc negligence or carelessness of the claim ant.
 Pension attorneys are held to be en- titled to their fees when the evidence to establish claimants right to g pension is completed. The fee, accord ing to the decision, will vest in the per sonal representative of the attorney il he should die before allowance oi claim or issuance of certificates. The rinhtc of an ottorpay ara 1aolo rad tS be determined by his legal status al the time the claim is completed ant without reference to the date of adju dication. The widow of a soldier ol sailor, says the assistant secretary whose husband voluntarily served 1T the confederate army or navy prior tt or subsequent to his service in thu United States army is not entitled to 6 pension under the act of June 27, 1890

with foul or putrid milk, and in such
a condition that it is almost impossible
to make them pure and wholesome. If,
however, the city dealers would scald
or steam the cans out on emptying the
milk, this whole diff Guilty would be
overcome. Soap is undesirable about
dairy utensils, because if a trace of 1t
is left on the vessel it may injure the
taste of the milk. Soda and lye may
be used, and are preferable to soap, but
each must be thoroughly rinsed off be
fore the vessel is again used. Water
rightly used, is better than any chem-
icals for cleansing purposes IN Cne
dairy. .,
At once after the milk is removed
from the COW it should be stralneu
through double strainers, then cooled'
removing the animal heat as soon as
possible. Many creameries require IN
their contracts that the milk which
they purchase be cooled to 90 degrees
f. inside of 45 minutes, and that 1t be
delivered at the creamery at a tempera-
ture not above so degrees +. Thls
cooling should be done in pure air, by
immersing the a in cold spring or ice
water, and then stirring the milk, or
by running the milk in a thin film over
metallic surface, as in the pat
ented coolers, which should be kept
cool by ice or cold running water. Milk
may also be aerated by passing air into
it from a specially constructed bellows.
Some of the most careful students in
dairying hold that very much may be
accomplished in purifying milk and re-
moving bad odors. A perfectly clean
room and time are the elements needed
in this work. Aerated milk will keep
longer than milk not so treated.
Milk should be kept in a cool place,
but should never be allowed to freeze.
In transportation the milk should be
kept cool by being covered with a
blanket. Tight covers should never be
on milk vessels in the milk
house. After milk has been cooled it
should be poured from the vessel as lit,
tie as possible. In transporting to
creamery or to railroad the wagon
should always have springs to prevent
churning the milk. Milk should be
kept free from every odor, both at the
and in the milk house.

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP OF
= THE CENTRAL PACIFIC AND
UNION PACIFIC RAILROADS.

From American Law Review.)
"Freights and fares on the govern
ment road would be regulated so as to
pay a reasonable profit upon it's actual
value, and a corresponding reduction
on other transcontinental roads would
necessarily result. The rights of the
government and of the public gener-
ally, would be secured, and an enormous
incubus would be lifted from the peO-
pie of the Wts5. Imagination can
hardly realize the extent of the relief
that would thus be afforded to the
hard working and poverty oppressed
farmers Of this great territorial division
6fthe country, and to the people gen
orally.
In the history of the human race but
one statesman, in a position of author
ity, great enough to raise above the
immoderaCe prejudIces by which the
interests of wealth and capital are but
tressed, has ever appeared. His policy,
though in conflict with what are called
sound financial principles, in fact res
cued Athens from the throes of I'm
pending dissolution, and inaugurated
the most happy and glorious part of
her history. 1t has been approved by
all histOr ans; and by the Athenians
themselves it was justly regarded as
the cause Cf their subsequent prosper
ity, aud it's adoption under the name
of the great SeisactheirR Or shaking
off Of fetters'D, was ever after COM
memorated as a great anniversary.
The lesson that it teaches is that the
safety Of the people is the supreme law
(alus Populi, Supreme Lnx); and that,
whatever views we may entertain as
to the general expediency Of the gov
ernment's operating railroads, or other
industrial enterprises, they must give
way to the higher principle when
necessity demands.
That, in the necessity of freeing the
people OF the Trans-Mississippi States
from practical serfdom, the occasion is
0 presented for the application of
the maxim, cannot be doubted. Nor
can 1t be doubted, if the government
proves equal to its manifest and i'm
peratlve duty, that the acquisition of
the o7nership of the Union and Gem
traI Pacific railroads by it. will be to
u.s. as Solon's policy was to the Athen.
