THE OPINION OF AN AYRSHIRE
BREEDER.

Ny belief to which I have made my
practice conform, is that from Is to Is
months of age is early enough to breed
a heifer for the future dairy COW. If a
heiter is Is months old at the time of
breeding, she will give birth to her calf
when two years old. This will do very
well If well developed in size; if she is
small, l would defer her breeding from
three to six months. I think much
should depend upon the size, although
L believe in developing the milk habit
at as early an age as circumstances
will allow. This is another of those
cases that depends" A heifer bred
when from seven to nine months old
Is pretty sure to make a runty COW, al
her growth has been regarded, to an
swer the calls of maternity, just at tn,
period when her physical development
should be the least hindered

Two Years Of Grover CleveIand-What Next
New York Tribune. J


We have had two years of Grover Cleve-
land. We are to have two more before
all is done and the record of one mans
laundering INCOMPETENCE and perilous con-
ceit shall have been closed. What will
those two years bring forth? To what new
dangers shall We be exposed, to what fresh
humiliations subjected? Is there any
limit to the calamity within reach of a
dull self-centred autocrat surrounded by
servile sycophants? If so let us pray
heaven that it may have been reached. If
not let US pray for strength and courage
and wise patience for surely We shall

The salient feature of Mr. Cleveland
character is his limitless confidence in
himself and his unreasonable contempt
for every other factor in the problem of
the country's destiny. Wonderful as has
been this man rise out of social and poll
tical obscurity to the lofty pinnacle he
now cumbcrs and degrades it is infinitely
less amazing than his stolid insensibility
to every law, custom or tradition that con-
fljcts with his scheme of absolute and
despotic rule. He regards Congress in
the light of a futile and impertinent OBJ
stacle. He treats his cabinet officers as
though they were mere clerks. If he
thinks of the People at all he thinks of
them as having exhausted their sovereign
prerogatives in calling him to the presi-
dency. His regime from the 18th of March,
1898 up to the present moment has been
one of unmitigated selfishness. He began
on the 9th of that month by commission
ing his man Blount to go to Honolulu and
make case against the American people
He has maintained that standard ever
since. His secret Vaccinations against the
champions of human liberty in Hawaii;
his connivance at seditioE by the followers
of the barbarous and corrupt Queen; his
scarcely yelled invitation to riot and an
archy in neighboring republic then petit
tioning for adoption and for brotherhood;
his insolent refusal to submit the question
to Congress until he had exhausted every
means of establishing his policy of restora-
tion-these and other acts OF sinister de-
liberation reveal the temper of the man in
colors that can never fade. AS to Samoa
also he has disclosed the same impatience
OF the limitations of his office, the same
contempt for the obligations of which he
IS the solemnly declared trustee. In
Samoa he found the United States bound
by treaty to a compact of protection and
advantage. OF the important considera
lions involved in that compact it is not
necessary to speak. Mr. Cleveland was
not the Judge of them in any event. The
treaty mad been sanctioned by the power

A bill was not long ago introduced
into the Pennsylvania House of Represen-
tative increasing the pay Of members OF
the Legislature of that state from $1,000 to
$4,000 per session. This incident draws
forcible attention to the fact that the
State of Maine pays the members of the
Legislature smaller remuneration than
any other state in the Union. Even the
neighboring state of New Hampshire,
which is about one third the size of Maine,
pays $3.50 to each member for the session.
There has long been feeling that the
members of the Maine Legislature should
be more literally remunerated for the hard
work which they do in behalf of the State
but each Legislature has been slow to take
the initiative in the matter, and thus the
old figures have prevailed year after year,
although there can be little doubt but
what the people of the State, if they IN
derstood the facts in the matter, would
cheerfully acquiesce in the payment of a
sum sufficiently large ut least to relieve
the members of our general court from
the necessity of personal expenditure in
order to meet the expenses incurred in
the transaction of the peoples business.
