Germany continues to give those who
send meat to that country considerable
trouble. It is now planned toinroduce
bill which, if passed, will require all
cattle imported into Germany to be
quarantined one month, no matter what
the condition Of the animals may be.
So far as this country is concerned such
provision would amount to a prohibit
ton on the trade. The cost Of trans
porting he cattle'and the feeding them
for that length Of time after they arrived
there would wipe out all profits on the
sales. Besides. the German inspectors
would have the rower to reject the cat
tie anyhow if they were 81 inclined
The restriction appears to be aimed more
particularly at Germany ueighbors.
1t is all right, of course, to have cat
tie as well as all other food matter in
spscted, but the inspection must be
promptly and inteligontly made, or no
business can be done. II has been APP
pareni for some time that the various
restrictions have been made so harrass-
ing to importers as to discourage out
siders, with the view, prehaps of slim
ulating the Germans to supply the home
market American canned meat has
been sent to Germany, and its probable
that the trade would amount to some
thing if obsta lies were not continually
put in the way. But when it vas pro-
posed to open the cans to examine it,
the step was enough to destroy the bus
mess. The population in Germany is
increasing at good rate-much faster
than it is in France, where it is practi-
cally at a stanfstil-and it Is likely |
that Germany will be compelled to i'm
port certain food products in greater
quantity than she does now. There is
an abundance 10 the United States
which can be sold pro6tably there to
seller and buyer if the business is not
ham oered

It is said petition is beng circulat-

Just what authority Governor Lowndes
has to declare any day in the year a
legal holiday is yet 90 be found out
Legal holidays are created by law and
not by any act Of the Governor. The
Governor may under the influence of an
oligarehy create political aristocracy

a family of brass buttons as ornaments

unusual demonstration is worthy of
the Am srican people. The palmer and
less demostrative the Inauguration of a
President the more is the ceremony in
keeping with republican ideas.

done nothing Of great moment to deserve
such an honor at the haads of the peo-

The lawyers of Baltimore CT ty ar
making generous, dignifed and be-
coming effort to obtain the consent of
Judge Phelps to be again candidate
for the high Office of Judge which he
has so well fled for nearly fifteen years.
The effort being made in that direction
is worthy of notice for two reasons at
least, if not more. 1t shows the appre-
cable extent of the feeling of the people
of great city for faithful servant,
and how much value they attach to
pure and upright Judiciary. Leaving
out the question of ability, the fair and
intelligent manner in which Judge
Phelps has discharged the trust placed
in him and the lustre be has thereby
added to The bench are suitable reasons
why he should be honored by the latter-
ing request made to him to be again a
candidate Politics should not enter
into the question of the selection of a
Judge, and from the rousing indorse-
nent Judge Phelps labors are receiving
1t is evident that such is the opinion of
a large majority of the people of
Baltimore City. Would it had
always been So How we'll we
remember the occasion when the poll
ticians of the State assaulted the bench
and struck therefrom our Judge Stone
One of the brightest lights as a Jurist
this State has ever known because his
judgment could not be swayed to meet
the demands of politicians that few
disreputable people might prosper at
the expense Of all decent and respecta-
Bile citizens. The political bosses out of
the way, the people regardless of party
are having say. and we feel satisfied
therefore that Judge Phelps will share
a better fate than did Judge Stone, and
the people will honor themselves in hon
oring him.

The trial and conviction Of Mrs Mary
Trainor, in Baltimore City, during the
week ought to serve as an object lesson
to many persons who are predisposed to
the use of strong drink, and to all others
as well. that they may steer clear Of the
temptation to become Incorporate The
evidence showed Mrs. Trainor not to

was kind and afiectionate to her family

When Intoxicated she became a raving
demon, caring nothing for herself or

OF her drunken sprees she administered

Had the Jury observed the law strictly
she would have been hung, for the pun

The punishment she has received. how

ought to be lesson 10 be remembered
Strong drink is entirely unnecessary
unless for medicinal purposes, and when
SO administered it is generally through
the agency of physician and no unfor-
iunate consequences are likely to follow.
The danger is not in the use, but the
abuse. This constantly tasting liquor to

cold and to drive out the beat, are acts
OF lmprudence likely to lead to after mis-
fortunes. And how many daily evi.

Amount Of corn fed, 1000 bushels; net per
bushel, 5sg cents.
In this statement Chandler takes no
account of interest on land investment
but as ne takes no account Of hog feed
for 100 hogs which followed the cattle
this item will more than offset the in
terest
Another Iowa farmer declares the
corn raisers of the United States make
more money when corn is II cents per
bushel than wheu it is 30. When the
price is 30 cents 1t is because there is a
failure aud consequent scarcity in some
States and the farmers of those States
are the buyers Cora is not shipped abroad
at that price. If, when the crop is big
and prices are low, the farmer eds it
% cattle he can always realize a fair
price for it. When corn is - cents per
bushel everybody has some to sell and
the general benefit is apparent. When
prices are high farmers in a few States
may profit by the scarcity but the majori-
ty suffer. He argues that big crop
and low prices are more to be desired
than short crop and high prices.
This farmer says well managed
farm ought to provide a living for the
family from The dairy. poultry, and veg
etables. 1t ought, in fact, provide Tor
all the expenses of the family, even the
clothing, and the corn crop should be
"velvet" He declares that his own
crop is clean profit every year. whatever
the price may be.
He points out fact, which has not
yet become apparent to all farmers, that
a man must mix up some brains in his
work if he would be successful tiller
of the soil. The man who uses his legs
to follow the pillow ard his arms to grub
roots and fails to give his brains rea-
enable amount of exercise will always
walk and grub He will never grow
rich at farming
Speaking of the mistakes Of farming
the traffic manager of Western rail-
road says the farmers lost hundreds Of
thousands Of dollars last fall while talk
ing politics The wheat crop in this
State was one of the best ever harvested
For five weeks after harvest the weather
was superb, but instead of stacking and
tbrlshing the crop the farmers stood
around the country stores and talked
politics
When they had settled the financial
question to their satisfaction and were
ready to turn their attention to thrash
ing it commenced to rain aud did not
stop until the crop was nearly ruined
The result was the wheat was thrashed
IN poor condition and the labor Of
months was practically lost to farmers of
Illinois.

WILL BUY CITY BONDS.
Board Of Education Authorizes the Purchase Of
$4,000 Worth.
WILL ALSO TRY FOR 100000 OF ITS OWN


The board Of education met In
special SESSION at noon today to can
vass the school election returns as
made by the Judges ON the evening of
December list other important busl-
ness was also transacted, chief of
which WINS an order for the president
and finance committee to invest s20.-
600 OF sinlslns fund revenue in the
purchase Of salt Lake City bonds.
In reality the board proposes to in
vest $4,000 In that manner and has
had an offer on its own bonds for
sum not exceeding that amount. But
they cannot be obtained at as good
Il figure as the 100000 city bonds, there
fore the decision to purchase the latter.
These Will be bought at 102 and ac-
cfued interest The intention is to
hold them for the time being and ex-
change them for board of education
bonds later. as was recently done with
similar amount.
Regarding the other $4,000 an at
tempt will be made to invest that in
the school bonds of this city ut a
figure better than the offer now made.
During the past year the boards
bonded Indebtedness has been reduced
from $4,000 to S7s5.OO0. BY today's ac-
ton and that contemplated within the
next few days, n further reduction of
$4,000 will occur, making total re-
ducton in the bonded indebtedness of
$4,000 u very substantial showing
ana n saving that will be gratifying
to the taxpayers. In the event that the
present rate of debt decreasing prog
ress Is kept up for n few years, the
expense of maintaining the schools
Will be very materially cut down.
