The remarks Of Rev. DR.. ]. I. Vance
Of the First Presbyterian church Of
Nashville, TIM, recently, we're in
tune with the time. DR.. Vance urged
that the use of the terms north" and
'south" as applied to the church be
abandoned. The point is well taken.
The sooner all terms and expressions
that are reminders of Mason and Dix
on's line fall into disuse the better. AS
long as they r part of u daily
speech they help unconsciously to keep
up a fractional spirit. -
The second international congress
Of settlement and social workers will
be held in Chicago during the second
-wsek ot-nezt-Mey.~rheasession of the
congress will be held in the Auditor
UNI in connection with Hull house,
which will be ready for occupancy by
that time. The names of many sociol-
ogists of international reputation will
appear on the program and noted for
eign workers will discuss social ques-
lions. The program is being prepared
largely under the supervision of Miss
Adams. The social settlement idea
in America is less than fifteen a
old, and in 1895 there were less than
fifty settlement houses in the entire
country. Today Chicago alone has
thirteen social settlements, with some
thing like 300 resident workers.

THE SENATORIAL CAUCUS.
No Change in the vote-Three Ba
lots without Result.

&SO
lots without Result.
Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 17.-Three bal
lots were taken in the senatorial au-
Gus last night without result or any
change from the last caucus. On the
first ballot in caucus Johnson of Rich
land, who has been voting for McCum-
Der, but who has generally been be-
lieved to be q johnson man, changed
from McCumber to johnson. On the
third ballot he changed back from
johnson to McCpmber, and the vote on
the last ballot stood the same as at the
last caucus johnson had 30, Marshall
IL, Little 8, McCumber 8, Hanna 6,
La Moure 8 and Cooper 4.
Representative Tousley offered a res
olution in the caucus that, as all Re-
publicans desire the election of a sem
ator by purely Republican votes, it
should be the will of the caucu that
whenever any Of the candidates in the
field received a majority of the Repub-
lican votes, whether in caucus or In the
joint balloting, the fact should be con-
sidered as a Republican senatorial
nomination and Shat the member re-
ceiving the majority. should receive the
votes Of all Republicans in the legis-
lature. The resolution was declared
out of order by the chair, and on an
appeal the chair was sustained by g
vote of % to 49, and the resolution was
thus voted down. J%ohnson's strength
remains at one less than the number
with which he started when the first
caucus was held. Senator Arnold was
present at the caucus last night, SO the
full Republican membership was pres
ent.
The first ballot will be taken on the
floor OF the two houses in separate ses-
sion to-day and a joint ballot on
Wednesday.

Within the territory north of the
Ohio river and east of the Mississippi,
the railroad carriers are transporting
the larger part of the interstate traffic
at rates less than those shown on the
published tariffs filed with the COM
merce commission, which are by stat
ute the only lawful rates. While this
condition continues there will exist
the unjust determinations and the un-
just preferences and advantages be-
tween persons, localities and particu-
lar descriptions Of traffic, the preven-
ton Of which is the main object Of the
act Of congress establishing the inter-
state commerce commission. Only by
securing the uniform charging Of the
published rates can the just equality
of service and Of charge required by
law be secured either between persons
or between localities. F..

Ransom County stock Industry.

Lisbon, N. D.-From a recent report
made relative to the stock Industry IN
Ransom county, North Dakota. to the
United States department of agr1cult-
ure, the following interesting informa-
ton is cleaned: The number Of horses
compared with that of January, 1888,
shows an increase of 3 per cent; the
average prices per head for those un-
der 1 year old, 20; between l and 2
years old, $27; between 2 n 8 years
old, $33; over 3 years old, $40. AS to
mules, the number in the county IS
merely nominal, and no estimated val
ne is given. The total number Of milch
cows. shows an annual estimated In
crease Of 10 per cent since a year ago,
and the average price per head is $26.
Oxen and other cattle of oEery descrlp-
ton except mich cows, show a de-
crease Of fully 10 per cent, the average
prices per head being: For those I'M.
der 1 year old, $40; between 1 and 2
years old, S17; between 2 and 8 years
old, $50; with an average price OF 500
for those over 3 years old. Sheep snow
q decline of 5 per cent, with an aver
age price per head of $2.335, and So per
head for all sheep over 3 years Old:
Only five head of sheep r reported
killed by dogs during the year. Hogs,
too. show a decline in numbers OF IL
per cent, the average price being, Tor
those under 1 year old, 81, and above
that age, Sc.
The dairy industry shows an import
ant advance, and this interest Will, II
is expected, show a much larger In
crease during the present year. cheese
making at the Lisbon cheese factory
is q continued success, and will be
largely augmented this summer: The
demand for cheese was greatly In ex-
cess Of the supply, and the quality pro-
duced the past year has been except
ionally fine.
HOGS have not declined in numbers
SO much as was expected, nor SO much
as they would doubtless have done
had prices been higher, as many re-
fuse to sell at the present low marker,
and are wintering over the local price
at Lisbon for fat hogs on foot being
only S2.65 per 100 poun0s, and buyers
scarce at that. In cattle, stockers n
feeders are rather lower in price than
a year ago, and declining, while rat
stock, though under the price OF Janu-
ary. 1898, are held a trile higher bar
q short time ago. The higher prices OF
feeding stuffs tend to depress the price
of stockers and feeders. Considerable
improvement is everywhere noticed In
the grade of all kinds of stock, and
farmers are beginning to learn b
great financial advantages to be de-
rived from such q course szssss \.

A southern contemporary publishes
an article in a recent issue urging
Georgia farmers to SOW more oats in
the future. Appended are the reasons
offered to support its advice: "Take
some Of the cotton land that with g
per acre expended in commercial fer
tilizers will make the governmental re-
port average Of 219 pounds Of lint cot
ton per acre, which is about 40 gross
receipt per acre. It will cost you 81
per acre with the closest economy to
produce 1t, leaving you g an acre. We
will SOW It in oats; this land, with the
same amount Of manure. will make
thirty bushels Of oats per acre. which.
sold at 40 cents per bushel. will give
you @12 per acre. expenses Sc per acre.
and you have net IS per acre, against
the 50 per acre with cotton. II these
calculations are not true. and are not
facts easily worked out, we would be
glad to be shown why"
