Rev. John Clifford, pastor Of the Mel

also president of the Free Evangelical
churches of Great Britain, preached at
fremont Temple, Boston, last Sunday
morning on ''Ihe Anglo-American AL
lance" lie said it was the desire Of
nearly every true citizen of both countries
that there 81 ould be an alliance and that
both nations should cooperate in the ser
vice of mankind. 1t would bring about
solld and enduring progress and the ad-
Vancement OF the Kingdom of God. He
said that he could confidently speak with
regard 10 the people of England, the
church es and the ministers The upper
class in England were coming into line
gu this subject, with the lower classes.
There was almost universal pulse of in
terest in Eng and for the consolidation of
these two peoples. The preacher contend
ed that an Anglo American alliance was
the bic step that must be taken, be-
cause the two nations were of one stock :;
because the two nations spoke one tongue;
because they read one literature. and be-
cause they haC one religion.

The rebuilding of Crosby Inn is again
agtated, ard this week few citizens who
appreciate the need for a first class hotel
and who feel tie reproach that the pres
ent unsightly ruins cast upon our fair
city. have met to consider ways and means.
AS one gentleman expressed it: ''Let the
city abandon its claim for unsolicited
taxes and work would begin next month.
and the hotel be ready for occupancy next
season" his is not asking much. 1t
would simply comply with the under
standing had with the city government at
the time the Crosby Inn was built, that
the hotel building would not be taxed,
but the tax heretofore paid on the Crosby
estate would be continued. This was GER
tanly an equitable arrangement, and at
the same time an advantageous one for the
city. But it is not pleasant, and perhaps
not profitable, to go over this old story
The question now is, shall the Crosby Inn
be rebuilt? We cannot imagine that any
one in this community would answer the
question otherwise than in the affirmative
The need is greater now than when the
Crosby Inn was built. Then we were
making an advance in providing this mod
ern and finely equipped house for public
entertainment. Now, every day the ruins
remain as they are we are retrogading, and
other places will reap the benefits we
should enjoy.

IT WILL BEAT COTTON.

a good citizen of Independence
county, w. L. Magness, of New
ark. has demonstrated that raising
corn. cattle and hogs beats raising
cotton all TO pieces.
The gentleman in question, as n
lie enterprise, has enclosed some
snree or four acres, with cross fen
Is. and the enclosure is used for
took pens. 10 these pens il is his
aston 10 keep 100 head of cattle
.na 500 head of hogs, which are
.ii,ttened for the markets of St.
Louis, Kansas City and other p;a-
acs that offer good prices for stall
led meat.
The cattle, say 200, can be pur-
saased at an average cost of Sl3 so
per head, amounting in the aggre-
gate 10 say $1,000; the hogs cost
at an average rate of $3.50 each,
aggreg ting $3.50; this makes the
purchase If both cattle and hogs
$3.50. 1t requires from ninety
days TO four months to get the
stock in the bes. Stalled condition.
and in order to accomplish this
there are used 100 bushels of corn
der day, which would necessitate
the consumption of $4,000 bushels
nf corn, and while it, is sometimes
difficult to find purchasers. at Is
cents per bushel this year, yet pla-
eng It at 20 cents per bushcl
would require say So, 400 and add
to tbis the services Of the one la
borer at S25 month for four
months, making 500, and we find
lie grand total cost of both cattle
aud hogs to be S4,950. This pro-
cess of fattening brings the cattle

each, which totals up 10000
pounds, and the stall-fed meat rap
