Of course if MT. Bayard's speech was an after-dinner speech much can be forgiven him. Few men think the same after dinner as before, particular ly if the wine be of a heady sort. and when it comes to answering toasts the tongue is apt to trip along to the ut terance of sentiments the men would have not have the world hear for any know there was a reporter present.

SALABLE TURKEYS.
The Old Fashioned Gobbler Gives Place to
 Medium Sized Bird.

Nledium-Stzed Bird.
 All commission merchants agree that it is the medium sized turkeys that sell the most readily and are the most profitable The birds should dress eight, ten or twelve pounds, according to the proportion of toms and hens, they say, and should look plump and clean. These birds are the first se- lected, and the others go off more slowly. At over fourteen pounds a re- duction in the price is demanded. while birds at eighteen or twenty pounds are almost unstable at greatly reduced rates.
 Of course there is some demand for large turkeys for hotels and boarding houses, but the private family will have none of them. for two excellent reasons: First. the oven in the average city house is too small to accommodate such lordly bird, and, secondly, the size of the family not being in propor- tion, it's members would rebel at the turkeys too frequent appearance at meals. It would be well for the tur- key raiser to keep both these points in view and regulate the size of his birds accordingly. He will save in feed and get better returns for his flock. The day of the enormous gobbler is past N. Y. World.

On Immigration and the Salt River Valley.

Asked, as we have been by hundreds during the past six months in different parts of the country, what we think of immigration to our valley and the settling up of our 100000 acres, our opinion and belief is as follows, based
 upon thorough knowledge of the sub- ject: When we look back a few years to the opening of the several reserva- tions to the public by the presidents proclamation, particularly to that of Oklahoma where, and upon the borders of which thousands of settlers lay camped for weeks, yes, for months, and off of which it required the United States soldiers to keep them, pending the hour of the proclamation to take effect, then the mad rush on fleet horses, wagons and afoot of the thou sands and thousands, accompanied with loss of life, not to speak of the

gardless of narrow demands for their products, is proof that there is conf dence of a heroic sort in a not remote release from present deplorable condi- tions.
 With anything like favorable dis position on the part of congress and the executive to restore the treasury to a self-supporting basis by legitimate means, there would be at betterment of trade and an increasing disposition to favorably discount the future that would be felt in every channel of busi- ness.
 The halt in country trade is largely due to the fact that the farmer is hold ing his surplus products in the belief that better prices will quickly follow favorable legislation in the direction of increased revenues, which will release money that is now held against the possibly disastrous results of the in- creasing stringency. He may not go very deeply into the philosophy of the situation in this direction, but the feel ing is pronounced that better times are coming and that the time for it depends upon that one definite action by con- gress and it's approval by the president. Moderation of the assertion that when ever, if at all, the bill for increased revenues shall be presented to him for his signature the president will sign it, still continues, and the farmer is by no means the las: to make note of it.
 With an early settlement of this one feature of the present galling situation very marked increase of country trade and rapid settlement of held-over bills, which would have a distinctively ben eficial effect in all the avenues of trade and business generally. There is no doubt that the good degree of improve ment which was confidently looked for sixty days ago is held back by the same influence which brought on the distress in the first place.

SIMPLE AT ANY RATE.

The United States treasury is badly in need of large quantities of gold just now. Large quantities of gold come into the possession of the government every month, which, instead of being applied to the liquidation of any gold obligations, are practically handed over to those who use it indirectly as weapons against the treasury.
 Recognizing the not especially occult relation between these two conditions, a citizen of the east comes forward with a bold, daring and original so- iution of the financial difficulties now lbesetting thetreasury. This solution is nothing less than the suggestion that the treasury department use lit tie sense and instead of handling gold when other forms of money will serve the purpose, keep what gold it gets it's hands on for it's own protection. That is, if you are hungry and the Provident association Sends you something to eat and you owe neighbor some kind ling wood, don't give the neighbor your bread for fuel, when the neighbor will be perfectly satisfied with wood. If you give your bread away when you don't have to you will still be hungry and are apt to increase the appetite of your neighbor.
 Reduced to hOmely terms, that is practically what the supposed solution amounts to. The United States takes in every month certainly many hund- reds of thousands of dollars in gold at the postofffces throughout the country. This gold is almost wholly banked as all other funds and in time-no very long time, either-plays it's part in con- tributing to the current financial situa- tion. It is suggested that the govern ment hold on to this gold instead of letting it get away.
 The suggestion has the merit of simplicity at any rate. But there is simpler solution than that. The gov ernment has promised to pay certain debts in gold. It should and must and will keep that promise. But instead of mulcting the people of this country, the proper way to get the gold is to keep tariff laws on the books which will keep the stream of gold headed this way instead of in the direction of Europe. The present tariff law has even failed to provide sufficient rev. enue for current expenses. much less prevent an adverse balance of trade With favorable balance of trade and a competent administration of the affairs of the country, there is no need to pass the hat and resort to the pitiful expedients of Democratic statesman ship.
