Board of Agriculture, an Office in one

cumbency of the third and last Dean

opportunities for becoming familiar
with its history under different Boards

MILLIONS OF MICE.
The Pests Threaten Ruin to a Russian
Province.

One of the most unpleasant places in
this world to live in just at present,
according to Russian papers, is the
province of Kharkoff, in the land OF
the Car. The country is now over
run with millions of mice. The
cats have become 80 accustomed to the
sight of the little animals that they no
longer catch them or even play with
them. They are said to be a greater
pest than the rabbits were in Australia
few years ago. Provisions for the
table, candles, soap, books, shoes
everything, in fact, is eaten up by the
animal in the night time. The furniture
even is notspared.
Sleep for many of the poor inhabit-
ants has become almost impossible.
All of them, virtually, have been
obliged to place their beds in the mid
die of the rooms. Some of them, even,
have been forced to sleep with their
feet in basins of water-the Russians
of that district believing that mice will
not touch a person so sleeping. If
these precautions are not followed the
mice dance genuine ''sarabund" on
the recubent figures and on the bed,
and even bite the sleepers.
Almost all the wheat has been de-
stroyed. A number of wealthy women
landed proprietors-have been COM
PEELED to abandon their homes, and
have gone to st. Petersburg to get
away from the scourge, for such has
it become.
In the fields the mice are so numer-
GUS that men kill two or three hundred
in five or ten minutes.

Rumors as to what the President
and Secretary Carlisle intend to do
were plentiful, but no official announce
ment was given out. No preparations
are being made for bond issue, and
none will be made until the President
is convinced that Congress will not
respond to his appeal for financial aid.
Unless Congress responds quickly to
the Presidents suggestion he will, in
the exercise of his discretion, under
the resumption act, direct the issue of
s100, ,0O0, 900 worth of bonds. Under
this act there are three kinds of bonds
he may issue, viz:
Five per cent bonds, which run 10
years; Az per cent bonds, which run
Is years, and per cent bonds, which
run 80 years.
AS the President in his recent mes
sage favored 50-year bonds, the gen
eral belief in the official circles is that,
if bonds are issued, under the resump-
ton act, they will be per cent bonds,
to run 80 years.

DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS.
The Difference Between Their Prin-
ciples.
From The Centralia Courier


b. F. James, of Mexico, asks the
Courier TO sts!te the difference between
the Democratic and Republican parties
for the benefit of Populist friend of
his
The Democratic doctrine as taught
by Jefferson and exemplified by jack
son holds:
First. That the common people are
to be trusted, and that all power not
expressly delegated to the general
Government is reversed to them; that
the individual citizen is the unit of
Government; that states are capable
of local government; that as little
power as possible should be taken
from the people and lodged with the
general Government
Second. That National banks and
banks of issue are detrimental to the
best interests of the country.
Third. That taxation is q burden
and should be limited to the necessi-
ties of the Government economically
administered.
Fourth. That all money should be
issued by the Government TO the peo-
pie without the Intervention of banks.
Fifth. To the free coinage of gold
and silver.
Sixth. To minimum tariff looking
towards free trade.
Seventh. Opposition to paternal-
ism, Governmental favoritism, class
laws, monopolies and trusts.
On the other hand the Republican
doctrine as taught by John Sherman
and exemplihed by Republican Con-
crosses holds to exactly the opposite
of each o: these specific cardinal prin-
ciples.

Later Messrs. Breckenridge and

Lest HER SUIT.
The St. Louis Court OF Appeals De-
cides Against Mrs. Mamie
v. Northern.
From ihe st. I.onis Repnhlic


In August, 1892, Mr.. w. p. Hawkins
exhibited lot of stock at the Audrain
County Fair, at Mexico, Mo-, and re-
ceived the order of the Agricultural
Society for s120 in premiums. Theso-
ciety had an account at the Southern
Bank, but Hawkins was unable to col
lect the money that day, and desiring
to leave town that night, he got his
landlords, Mamie V. Northern & Co.,
to cash the order, he having indorsed
ciety had balances at the bank sufii-
cient to pay the order, but II was not
presented until the eth, when there
were no funds, and the society was
soon announced to be insolvent. 1t
was some months before Hawkins was
informed of the nonpayment of the Or
der, and it was in evidence that he
could have collected the amount from
the society had he been thus notified.
There was judgment by the Audrain
Circuit Court for the plaintiff, and
Hawkins appealed. The Court of APP
peals cannot see on what grounds
such result was reached. 1t does not
appear that the order was presented
in due time, for if 1t had it would have
been paid. The plaintiffs therefore
lost the money by their own negli-
gence. The judgment is reversed and
the cause remanded.
