of the Southern Pacific. Mr.. Arms, of San
Francisco, demanded an apology. Mr.. Riggy
stated that this week he was offered $1,000
to stand in with the combination water,
gas, telephone and other bills and that
the railroad money was promised him
when he reached San Francisco. This state
ment created a row. The amendment was
adopted by vote of % to 10.

HARRISBURG. Pa, March 12s-The
House finally passed. by a vote of Isl to 28
the bill prohibiting the wearing OF any relig-
ious insignia or garb by teachers in the
public schools. The big guns of the patri-
otic orders were conspicuous on the floor,
while the galleries were filled with inter-
ested spectators. Before the bill came up
the Republican leaders of the House and
some of the officials of the patriotic orders
held a conference. Some of the former
feared that the measure would prove to
the party gun that kicks, and favored it's
withdrawal They were overruled, however
and the bill was kept on the track. In
defending the bill Mr.. Spangler made q
speech denouncing the Roman Catholic
Church and it's head, to whom he referred
as that man, Pope Leo the Twelfth" He
said of Democratic National Chairman Har-
rity, Follow this man up along the Allie

in consultation with three Roman Catholic
priests. who said to that man: Denounce
the orders and we will give. you the votes
of our church," " In closing his speech Mr..
spangler took from his desk a small Amer
lean flag, which he waved triumphantly

PIG FEEDING.

Practical Conclusions Drawn from Ex-
periments ut the Wisconsin Experiment
Station.
'All things considered, the hog has
been the most profitable animal on
western farms, and no small part of
the wealth of the western states is due
to this one animal. Corn is and has
been the most universal food for swine
in this section, and SO it is to Indian
corn that we are indebted for the
benefits accruing from the hog. No
other plant furnishes SO much avail
able food to the acre, or food that is so
well relished by the hog, as corn.
With millions of acres of land devoted
to corn-growing, and large part of
this corn being fed to hogs, it is
no wonder we have come to regard
corn as made for the hog and the hog
for corn. To one who first acquaints
himself with the situation it might
appear that all the farmer has to do to
increase his income is to plant more
corn and raise more hogs, but the in
vestigator will soon find that were the
market open to all that could be raised.
there seems limit to the pork produc-
tion of any farm or locality, for nu-
merous difficulties beset this vocation.
Pigs are born only to meet an early
dealt; hog cholera devastates large
are:.s, passing from point to point with
great rapidity, clearing everything be-
fore it, leaving the farms not only
without swine, but so inoculated with
the disease that all the businessin that
section must be held in abeyance for a
year or more. Farmers are constantly
complaining that their hogs become
too fine-boned, and get but temporary
relief by sending off to breeders
for coarse-boned sires. These facts
show that as now handled on
the average farm at the west. the hog
is in an abnormal condition and
that degeneration is constantly going
on, or, popularity stated, stock runs
out The difficulties in the way do
not end with the troubles named, but
follow the hog even after death. into
the park barrel. Foreigners claim that
our pork is diseased, aud place an en-
barge upon it. Home consumption is
decreasing not because our people think
the pork is diseased in itself necessa-
rily, but because the meat is so excess
sively fat that there arises strong
aversion against it in the minds of
most people. AS people in the lower
classes in life get ahead in the world
they give up pork for more expensive
meat. Not only, then, have we to con-
slider the questions of hog feeding from
the standpoint of feeder and breeder,
but the opinion and wish of the con-
saIner must receive attention, if this
industry, of such great magnitude, is
to continue on sound basis
That with proper care the form, size
substance and bone of the hog can be
well N iptsiusd, and even advanced.

lowers and Limitations OF the Imperial
Legislature.
It must be remembered that the Ger
man system of government is federal,
!. G.. that the powers of government
are divided between two sets OF gov
ernmental organs, viz, the imperial
government and the states. AS is usual
in such a system, the powers of the
central government are enumerated
and the powers of the states are resid-
uary.
The imperial legislature can there.
fore legislate only upon given subjects
enumerated in the constitution.
These subjects are, briefly, foreign
relations, foreign commerce, interstate
commerce, the monetary system, the
military system, the naval system, the
imperial revenue, citizenship, the inn
perial territories, the civil law. and
criminal law--the same subjects that
are assigned by the constitution of the
United States to congressional legisla-
tion, with the very important addi-
tions of the topics of civil or private
law and criminal law. The power of
the congress Of the United States in re-
gard to these topics is distinctly linn
tied, and the general power over them
is reserved to the states. In fast. the
chief work OF the states IN legislation
is the Modification, supplementing and
adjustment of the common law in re-
gard to private rights and crime.
1t will thus be seen that the legisla-
tive powers of the German imperial
Legislature are vastly greater than
those OF the congress of the United
States, while the Legislative powers OF
the German states, as compared with
those of the states of this Union, are
reduced in the same proportion. The
German statesmen and jnrist had the
constitution of the United States be-
fore them in the fashioning of their
own, and deliberately chose to depars
from it in this respect, and have ons
civil or private law and one criminal
law for the whole empire. Evidently
10 them the federalism of the future is
to be federalism in administration
rather than in legislation. CHAR
