P0pOcrats aud Boilers Meet.

They are making political tour of the
State, and are attempting to justify
their position before the voters Of Idaho,
They We're received here by the dem
ocrats and populists, and dates were
made for public addresses betitting the
occasion at the Court House in the ev-
ening. An attempt at an illuminated
street paraGe proved intensely dis
tressine to everybody. Were 1t not for
few "hOlierirg" democrats and many
small boys, it would have presented
more the appearance of II funeral cor.
tcge than II poll ical demonstration.
Yet this reception cannot be interpre-
ted rs an evidence of disrespect to these
gentlemen. They have many warm
friends in Lewiston of all parties. The
people of Lewiston generally admire
them for honest aud competent labor
in their behalf as representatives OF
this state. But the purpose of their
visit here was to encourage II move
ment TO disorganize the republican
party in this state, and IA such leaders
were entitled to no other distinction
or public recognition here than their
followers could bestow. Few rppub.i-
cans In Lewiston have accepted Mr..
Dubois Interpretation of republicanism
and consequently few were present to
do him honor. But chance to "holler'
is aways acceptable to democrats and
populists, and inspired 10y the voice of
party leaders that no hat,n would re-
suit, few of the less modest ones adj
ded noise to the occasion.
Mr.. Reid, recognized democratic
leader in this state, presented the
speakers.
Mr.. Dubois was the first speaker.
He discOursed an hour on the subject
of free silver. He stated that all truth,
all honor and all wisdom should be ac-
credited to the history of the republi-
can party, except at this particular
time, and served notice that hc had
only left the republican party tempe
rarily. His sad, balt-hear,cd effort
was classed by hearer rs being "the
excuse of bad boy who had gone fish.
ing on Sunday" and, added his ad-
mirer. "to increase his embarrassment,
he didn't catch any fish.
Chief Justice Morgan followed Mr.
Dubois. The Judges vie rs on politica
topics have been given newspaper
prominence for several weeks hy til,
state press, and any review would b.
uninviting. He is candidate for re-
election, and he has taken his chances
with the boiters.
Willis Sweet, who asks not for polit
ical preferment, responded to loud call,
from the audience. He talked m hoill
after taking drink of water to "con
vince himself that he was not in
democratic meeting" He denied tha
he has deserted the republican party

English Birds I'm >outh Africa.


A short time ago the paper South Africa
had an account OF the shipment of soma
English singing birds to Mr.. Rhodes. II
now traces their history little further.
1t seems that Mr. Rhodes was much
pleased with the consignment, which was
landed safe and sound at Cape Town, hav-
ing met with but few losses on the way.
AS soon as they had reached Groote Shuur
Mr.. Rhodes had a large aviary built 10 re-
ceive them, his purpose being TO acclima-
tize them before turning them loose TO
shift for themselves.
AS stated. Mr.. Rhodes was gratified with
the shipment, and showed his pleasure by
cabling this message to Maj. Ricardo Sea-
YER: Thanks send more" This the gall
liant major was ready TO Go. A fortnight
ego he was able TO pay a. visit to the Tan
talon Castle and see the arrangements
made for n second cargo OF English war
hlers which he was sending under the care
of Capt. Robinson. who took keen per-
sonal interest in his feathered passengers.
II is hoped that this second lot will travel
as successfully as their predecessors. and
no doubt hereafter many an English exile
will feel gratitude 10 "the great empire
builder who found time to plan and TO
carry out so excellent a design.

dstion. there were immense crops OF cot
tor, tsbacco. sugar. nee and various fruits.
the money value OF vhieh was very great.
No other country In the weird begins 70
furnish such figures as the United States
showed last year as Il proof Of its fertility
and the productiveness Of it's soil. II has
been common with some stat,sticans 10 al
low that an ordinary farm hand in the
United States should raise as much as three
In England. four In France. FIVE in Ger
many AID six in Austria. and therefore the
individual contribution by the farmers CT
this country TO the wealth OF the world
becomes considerably enhanced
The details furnished by the agricultural
department as TO the yield OF the eight
crops mentioned above show that the final
estimate of the unexampled yield OF corn
amounts 20 2.isl, 1ss, 900 bushels, with total
value Of ,557. -. o0e, and an average price
per bushel at the farm Of zs4 cents OF
winter and spring wheat the total yield is
placed at 4s7 .leS 30 bushels Of the value OF
SGT s5s. eo9, and an average farm price per
busheI OF sos cents. The price is below any
average figured 20 1884. but the average
Yield OF 1877 bushels per acre Is very fair.
The average yield OF corn per acre was
262 bushels. so that in cash return per acre
the man who sowed wheat was about as
well or as the man who planted corn. The
area under wheat was about the same as
in 1855. Or little over 100000 acres. but
the crop Is 70, 100000 bushels better than 1t
was In that year. and the farmer il 30
cents an acre richer.
The potato crop was of unusual magni-
tude, but the price was low beyond all pre-
cedent. In 1855 there was what was con-
sidered an exceptionally abundant potato
crop OF 202. s55.0O0 bushels. but last year the
crop amounted 27.2s7.ooo bushels. While
the home value OF the crop of 1855 was set
down at 81, Az, $50. that OF last year is given
at only ST., $50. 900. The product of the hay
crop stands for high average. but Its value
touches the lowest figure in ten years.
However. il aggregated nearly Si0o. OOooo0.
which far exceeds the highest estimate Of
the gold product OF the world for 1895. over
the increase OF which both Europe and this
country has become wildly excited. Most
bountiful was the generosity OF the earth
with ordinary times the prosperity record
ed for the farmer would have been unex-
ampled.

A Fruit and Flower Mission in Alaska.
Naw York Sun.


The Hon. John NJ. Thurston, one OF the
senators in congress from the state OF Ne
braska, wants to establish q fruit and
flower mission in the UnorganiZed terri
tory, or organized civil and judicial dis
trict, which was formerly called Russian
America, and is now known as Alaska.
Senator Thurston does not name his en-
terrrise a fruit and flower mission. He
calls it an agricultural experiment station.
The chief missionary or experimental is TO
be the Hon. ]. Sterling Morton. secretary
OF agriculture, and the end In view is the
diffusion among the people Of Alaska and
the United States Of useful information on
agriculture and kindred subjects.
Accordingly, the sum of $4,000 a year is
to be expended by the national govern
ment under Mr.. Morton's direction, to
ascertain, among other things. what fruits
and flowers are best adapted to Alaska,
and how best to develop the native and
other fruits.
For these purposes one or more expert
ment stations Will he established, II con-
gress passes the bin which Mr.. ThuTston
has introduced in the senate on the SUBJ
ject.
In which event congress Will sanction a
foolish and wasteful expenditure. All the
information worth having about the agri-
be gained from the narratives OF explora-
ton in that country, and the government
reports already published.
Better spend $4,000 year toward the
fertilization OF Sitka. the Alaskan capital.

What Bismarck Would Do with Them.
rom the Haudourger Nachrlchten, BIS
narck's Paper.

From the Hamburger Nachrichten, Bis
Inarck's Paper.
The necessity OF having sooner or later 10
put down social revolution by force or
arms being granted IL IS clearly the duty
of a far-see.ng government 10 reckon win
that contingency and to shape It's. action 50
that the fight shall take place Under ths
most favorable conditions. But these cond,-
tons must grow worse the longer the hshs
is postponed. In the near future, al any
rate, one may feel certain that the reVoid-
tionary forces OF socialism would he
speedily crushed. ard with relatively
slight effus.on OF blood. But If the conflict
is delayed until the Social Democracy shall
have extended its hold upon the masses,
and perhaps even succeeded in Spreading
contagion into the army, the issue becomes
uncertain ard must involve a severe crisis
and serious injury to the welfare OF the
state Sooner or later the conTie-
ton must come that no mere legal or social
political weapons are OF any avail against
Social Democracy, and that a recourse to
arms is Inevitable. According TO our mod
ern jurisprudence the individual is entitled
in self-defense TO resort 10 the last sN-
tremities and il is TO the same principle
that the state must appeal IN It's ACTON
against Social Democracy. 1t is often
thrown in our teeth that we have no otner
remedies to recommend but blood and iron.
If there be others, let them who knox or
them speak out We have so far waited
in vain for enlightenment. If Social Democ-
racy can be driven TO desperation by Iresn
legislation similar to the anti-SoclaLst
laws repealed Ave years ago and induced
to take the offensive against the state. We
should, of course, gr.eve for those Hho
might fall in repelling the attack, out the
empire would distinctly gain by the final
defeat of socialist hopes. and this alone IS,
in our opinion, sufficient 10 justify every re-
pressive measure which In4ght tend 70 such
a consummation.

A bill is before the house to prevent ex-
cessive loans TO officers Of national banks
from the bank funds. AS II works no
great hardship on bank officers or direc-
tors and viii have a tendency to make
banks stronger. there is a probability that
IL will pass. Ii was shown by Comptroller
Lacey. In his report for 1881, that, in most
cases OF bank insolvency, the officers and
directors had too freely used the funds of
the bank for their Individual purposes
quite frequently for speculation The bill
referred TO forbids loans to officers and d.
reetors unless a formal proposition in
writing has been made for the loan, stat
ing amount, terms and security offered.

the same recommendation that applica-
tions be considered by the board of direc-

OF the opinion that the state of Iowa is

s10s. Minnesota s1.S and Iowa only $50. II
Iowa's per capita amount was raised 20 s..

cents additional would still place Iowa at
an advantage compared with states of like
