the estimated number of cattle. sheep
and pigs in Great Britain in June, 1894,
and estimates of the same kind for
the United States January, 1895, is in
teresting and Instructive:

Pigs. ........ $,794,0f3 1856 107
From this it will be observed that
the number of sheep in the United
States-our only distinctly protected
agricultural industry-makes a show
ing only a uiAe larger than the sheep
exhibit of the little group of islands
making up the United Kingdom. In
other words, Great Britain has about
three-fourths as many sheep as are
to be found in the United States. But
on the other hand the United States
has about five times as many cattle
and twelve times as many pigs as are
to be found in Great Britain.
Probably one reason for this exhibit.
as the Boston Herald points out, is to
be found in the better and healthier
conditions under which cattle and pig
raising have been conducted in this
| country. These have been recognized
as legitimate agricultural pursuits in
which a great agricultural country
such as the United States blessed with
marked natural advantages, could not
fail to succeed We have raised cat
tie for the world. and the same holds
true of swine to even a greater degree.
But for some inscrutable reason there
has been an assumption that the rails
ing of sheep was not a part of the
farmers business; that this class of
industry was u species of exotic that
could only be maintained under gov
eminent supervision and patronage.
and for this reason, instead OF trying
TO supply the world with mutton and
wool AS We have with beef and hides,
or with ham and pork, our farmers
have limited their sheep raising eff
forts to the mutton and wool demands
of our country. and by so circumscrib-
| ing their activity have failed to fill
even this restricted field.
On the basis OF the showing made

Humphrey, of the National League OF
Republican clubs, is in the city in confer
ence with the committee in charge of the
arrangements for the coming convention
of the league in Cleveland in June 1t has
been decided to introduce an innovatlon
at this convention, in the shape OF one
open session, at which free discussion OF
all political questions will be permitted.
This. it is believed, will furnish an oppor-
tunity for a lively fight over the silver
question Information has been received
to the effect that a special train will be
sent from Chicago. A boat-load of Re
pubIicans will also come from Duluth.
Denver will send trainload Of silver
boomers There will also be q special
train from Pittsburg; one from Iowa with
the celebrated Iowa State band; another
from Louisville, Nashville and C1ncln-
natl: one from Philadelphia and one from
Indiana, and still another from New
York. special boat will also be run
from Buffalo. The invitations to address
the conventions have already been &C,
cepted by ex-senator Warner Miller, or
New York; Hon. j. S. Clarkson. of Iowa;
Mrs. J. Ellen Foster of Washington;
Governor Mckinley, Hon. John NJ. Thurs
ton, of Nebraska; Ex-Governor Foraker,
of Ohio; Hon. A B.. Cummings, of Des
Moines. and Senator J. c. Burrows, of

The Cause in Illinois.

Springfield, ILL.,, April 24.-Chairnan
Heinrichsen, of the Democratic state
central committee, has given out a
personal letter received from Judge
Andrew ]. Hunter, OF Paris, ILL.,, in
relation to the coming state conven-
tion. The letter is very lengthy. 1t
deals with the controversy which has
been going on since the call for the
convention was issued, and expressed
great satisfaction at the prompt ac-
ton taken by the committee to secure,
If possible, such harmony in the party
as will enable them to redeem the
state and save the party from great
dangers that now threaten its exis-
tence.
Judge Hunter says the party is bad
~ divided, owing TO the refusal OF the
administration. the senate and the
houseSto carry out the Chicago plat
form; all of their acts being to make
gold alone the standard, and to repu-
date silver in every conceivable uan-
ner. 80 -e-s--.
'"The acts Of this administration,
says he, fell like a. blight and mil
dew upon the hopes of the party,
leaving nothing but defeat and dis
indignation as a monument"
He thinks the committee has adopt
ed the only safe way left open to hon
est, faithful servants of the party, to
go before the people with these COM
plications; let them speak, and when
their voice is heard let it be final.
IF there are men in the party who
are not willing to obey the command
of the people, it is time for them TO
learn that the Democracy is not. a
plaything, but founded on popular

A me OF Bluff.

London, April 24.-The Times this
morning, commenting editorially on
the dispatch received in Berlin from
Toxic, stating that Russia, Germany
and France have formally protested to
Japan against the incorporation of any
of the Chinese mainland into the ia
panese empire. says the dispatch will
arouse considerable interest in Great
Britain; but perhaps the predominant
feeling it will create will be one of
wonder, not unmingled with amuse-
ment. If the protest is genuine and
the powers are prepared to support
their words by action, Russia must be
congratulated ON a signal diplomatic
triumph, but the small interest that
Germany and France have in the
question makes a game of bluff. which
Japan will possibly see through. Her
wisest course will probably be to yield
as the consequence of a mistake
might prove exceedingly grave.

KEEP THE pLows GOING.

AS soon as ever the weather permits
and the land dries sufficiently. get the
teams to work and push on the plow-
ing. but do not be tempted. even by the
delay which has been enforced. to plow
when the land is too wet. says the Sa-
yannah News. To do so only means
to make work later. and yet in the end
to have an unsatisfactory seed bed.
Another thing to be guarded against is
not to allow the unplowed land to be-
come too dry. If the drying winds.
proverbial of this month. and the in
creasing power of the sun are drying
out the land so fast as TO render it
likely that a part of it will be too hard
to pillow before it can be reached, run
over this portion with heavy harrow
and break the crust This will con-
serve the moistuer and keep the land in
a condition to plow long after it would
otherwise be too hard. In blowing at
this season of the year. do not turn
up more than very small quantity Of
the subsoil. 1t is too late for this TO
be sufficiently areated and mellowed to
become available as Misunderstanding
