A FEW SUGGESTIONS.

Plant peas.
Plant corn.
Plant beans.
Plant turnips.
Plant cabbage.
Plant potatoes.
Plant beets and carrots.
Plant peanuts and pumpkins.
Plant sorghum, and fruit trees.
Raise hogs.
Raise colts.
Raise chickens.
Raise milch cows.
Then plant no more cotton than
you can cultivate without hired help.
House your surplus truck crops
should there be no market, and feed
it to your cows and hogs, and save the
corn, as there is always a chance TO
sell corn at a good price in the spring.
by good management you can sell
enough surplus perks, lard, chickens,
eggs and butter to pay the store bills.
Your cotton should enable you to
pay of the mortgage, or II you owe
nothing, then you should have money
10 deposit in the bank.
Try the above plan this year and
zee how 1t will work.

Did il ever strike you as being at all
peculiar that we should use the dollar
Isl before. instead Of after the figures
in expressing the sum of five, ten,
twenty or any other number of dollars?
We may say twenty-five dollars
plain enough for any to under
stand, but as soon as we put the ex-
preston into figures and characters
it is dollars twenty-five" (S25) instead
of 2js, as it should be. Nor is this all
that is peculiar In this connection:
In every country which has a written
language and Il system of coinage the
abhrcviation for the unit of value
precedes the figures. In England the
pound mark tel is used in the same
manner that the dollar mark is used
in this country, while the same specu-
liarity is noticeable in Germany, where
the Authorization m. for mark appears
preceding the number. just as the
French Authorization FIR. (for france, is
used in France.
IL the authorizations are not used
the legend Is more apt to be correct.
We find that in Mexico they have a
"2i pesos" instead OF "p. "a as one
might expect, and in Newfoundland
they have a plain two dollar piece. So
too, in France, where the abbreviation
is not used we find such pieces as 40
francs" 800 francs" and 40 francs"
In Germany they have a piece marked

A ~SEASONADLE WORD.

DR.. Palmer is delivering a series OF
Sunday Evening Lectures on First
Things" The second lecture was on
''The First Woman" We reproduce
the following from an excellent
summary by the New Orleans Plea
yune:
"a woman is always in her place as
Il lielpmcet. Otherwise she is out of
it. She comes to mans side from
whom she sprung, To reflect his own
likeness. She must help him in his
plans. All the functions Of life could
not be carried out without her. Each
is helpless without the other. She
was created to discharge the special
Office Of the helpmeet.
''As to the true Standardization of
woman, | will say that she is mans
equal, but he is the head"
DR.. Palmer related the story OF the
temptation, and how the subtle SER
pent entered the garden ana approach
ed the woman instead Of going to the
hcad-to Adam.
Il do not undertake to say, that
the serpent knew she vas the weaker
of the two. l will not undertake to
say that the serpent would not have
been successful had he approached
Adam first. Any way, he made the
woman his instrument. He deceived
her. How much better would it have
been for Eve il she had not forgotten
that she was the helpmcct, and had
sent the serpent to Adam. She was a
little too progressive. She saw the
tree Of life was beautiful, and she re.
cognizcd the possibilities OF becoming
greater than she was. She felt the Joy

Republican Committee Meeting

The State Republican committee met
at Weiser, Tuesday afternoon, March
18th, and selected places for conven-
tions and fixed the time Of meeting.
Pocatello was selected for the first
convention, May 10th, and Boise for
the nominating convention, August
18th. The apportionment of delegates
was made on the basis of one delegate
for each 100 Of the total vote for gov
ernor.
Returning delegates report harmon
ious meeting, but the fight between
Moscow and Boise evidently ruffled the
surface of the waters and raised a few
white caps which win be seen along
the shore later in the campaign.

REVIEW OF TRADE.
Usual Holiday Dizziness Increased by
Financial Situation.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2s.-R. G. Dun &
Co. S weekly review of trade says:
The failures of the fourth quarter
and the year 1895, not yet finished,
cannot be definitely stated, but the
aggregate of deferred liabilities for
the year, while much smaller than in
1888, will vary but little from that of
1894. The years aggregate of com
mercial liabilities will probably be
about $17O. 100000 in manufacturing,
or 10 per cent more than last year, but
in trading about $So, 900, 900, or 9 per
cent less than last year.
The foreign and financial messages
of the President were followed by vio-
lent reaction in the stock market last
Saturday. with grave fears of mon
etary trouble. The sudden panic
checked business in many depart
ments, and the industries cannot be
expected to show signs of improve
ment until the new year begins. Or
ders have for months been so nuch
smaller than they were in the sum-
mer, when productionswas expanding
and prices mounting rapidly, that new
causes of uncertainty have the more
influence

TARIFF BILL PASSED.

BY VOTE OF 227 TO8I.
The Republican Majority Brought in an
Iron-CIad Rule and Rushed 1t Through
All Amendments Were Barred Out
VIII Raise s4O,oOO,oOo Revenue.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The House
yesterday responded to the appeal of
the President by passing a tariff bill.
the operation of which is limited to
two and half years. and which is de-
signed to raise $40, 900, 900 for the re-
lief of the treasury. The bond bill
will be passed to-day. The vote was
on party lines, with two exceptions.
The Republicans all voted for the bill
except Hartman of Montana, who did
not vote. and the Democrats and Pop
ulists against it, save Newlands, Pop
ulist, of Nevada, who voted in favor
of the measure. The special order
under which the bill was brought to a
vote, at O'Clock, after three and a
half hours of5debate, was ironclad in
its character, and COMPEL the mem
bers to adopt or reject it. >hout op-
portunity of offering ann cents of
any kind.
The debate was participated in by
the leaders on both sides. The Re-
necessity for the treasury was revenue
to supply the continued deficiency.
Every speaker denied that the pro-
posed measure was a Republican pro-
lection bill. It was, they claimed. an
emergency revenue billion protective
lines. 1t was significant that several,
notably Mr. Dalzell, Mr.. Payne, Mr..
Hopkins and Mr.. Grosvenor, predicted
the passage of genuine protective
measure as soon as the Republicans
gained control of the White house.
The Democrats took the9 position
that there was no 1acls of revenue in
the treasury and that the passage Of a
bill to increase taxation would in no
wise help the situation, nor furnish
the relief desired by the President and
Secretary Of the Treasury.
The bill repeats the present tariff.
law until August /, 1895. 1t restores
sixty per cent of the Mckinley rates
on wool and woolens, lumber and car
pets, and makes horizontal increase
of the present rates in all other SEIZED
ules, except sugar, of fifteen per cent.
The final vote on the passage of the
bill was much confused, and individ-
ual counts do not tally with the official
record. The vote as it will appear in
the Congressional record. shows the
ayes 227; nays 81.

This city, said to be the largest in the

danger of famine. All freight is

been able to bring in groceries for ten
days. Local merchants have sustained
heavy losses on shipments of holiday
goods, which still lay in cases at rail-
road shipping points miles away. No
