A new factor in opposition to a canal
across tae isthnus is coming into view.
1t is the powerful ship building inter-
ests OF Maine, which have heretofore
managed TO get about everything they
wanted from Congress. Men engaged
in the building of the big sailing craft
capable of competing with steamships
in the deep-sea trade are said not to
like the idea OF having an isthmian
canal dug. Sailing vessels, they say,
cannot AFFORD to pass through the canal
because of the cost of towing Sailing
vessels would have TO pay tswage
through any canal that might be con-
structed. and the cost would be greater
than the cost of sailing around the
cape. In effect. they claim. the canal
would kin the sailing-ship business.

high enough to permit of the passing
through of the tallest masts of the larg-
est ships. That, of course, as Senator
Scott is able to explain, is merely a
matter of engineering and money. The
Senator's eagerness to have a canal
constructed on this route is no doubt
to be accounted for by his close connec-
ton with certain railroad and mining
interests.

THE FRUIT CROP.
Claim That SIeet Has Been Beneficial.

The Sebree Herald says: 1t is
claimed by fruit growers, quail
fed both by experience and sci
entific knowledge, that so far as
the fruit crop is concerned, the
big sleet has been a blessing in
disguise. 1t is claimed a heavy
sleet lying on the boughs and
twigs of the trees and keeping
them in bent position, by inter-
fering with the circulation in the
limb, retards the WOOD growth
and accelerates the production
and development of fruit buds.
If this theory is correct, and it is
vouchsafed for by men of ripe
experience, we should have this
year an enormous yield of fruit.

Where Profits Go.

1t is the little wastes, the small
leaks on the farm, which prevent
the farmer from realizing that
full share of profit which would
be Justly due him if proper at
tention were given to little mat
tiers seemingly unimportant in
themselves. Irregular feeding
of mich cows will affect the
milk yield, and openings in the
clapboards of the stable will ad-
NIT cold enough to counterbal-
ance a good share of the food
given to produce animal heat and
growth. In fact, a lock of hay
dropped here and blown into a
corner there, a pint or a quart
of grain lost through the bottom
of neglected feeding box, a
quart or more of meal frozen to
the pigs trough, then thrown
out under foot, or a few nubbins
of corn trampled into the filth
these, and more, are but little
things, yet in the course of
winter their cash value would
surprise some, if estimated. We
cannot avoid the conclusion that
the successful farmer of the fu-
ture, perhaps more than in the
past, will be the one VINO avoids
the waste in little things. What
ever is saved is gained, and this
is particularly true of the econ
omy of the farm.-Agricola.

REDsrRIcTlNG TROUBLES.
Judicial Districts May Be Left as They
Now Are Constituted.

Correspondence of
Louisville Commercial
Frankfort, KY, Feb. 2o.-The
Democratic house caucus held
tonight to consider the redistrict-
ing bills developed the fact that
the house is beset with insur-
mountable difficulties, and the
probability of abandoning the
redistricting of judicial districts
is suggested. The senate refused
fatty to enter the caucus, and
the house in turn refused to al
low the senate to be the guests
of the caucus. The feeling be-
tween house and senate Demo-
Gratis is not kindly, and the men,
bers of the lower house fear for
their bills even should they pass
their body.
The caucus tonight was secret,
and it considered only the judi
cial bill. The bill was taken up
by districts, beginning with the
First. Several changes were
made. Union county had been
with Henderson and Webster,
but the caucus decided to take
Union out of this company and
put it with Livingston, Crltten-
den and Galloway. A bitter fight
was made against this change.
Protests were made on several OF
the districts, but the majority
controlled. The general senti-
ment among the Democrats is
that they wish they had never
touched redistricting. The eau
Gus was in session until long af.
ter midnight, with about one

The last year has brought the
mule into greater prominence
than 1t has ever before occupied
in this country. 1t is true that
in some sections, notably the
cotton States, the mule has been
the great reliance for all kinds
of farm work, and he and the ne
gro were responsible for about
all the work done on Southern
farms and plantations.
But the great impetus given to
mule breeding was the war in
South Africa. 1t is a rugged
country, very dry, and horses
could not withstand its peculiar
climate. Here the mule proved
its great value, and soon the
horse was discarded from the
ambulance, commissary and am
munition trains, and the mule
took its place. They were found
to be much superior to the horse
in the peculiar conditions entail
ed by active campaigning in a
dry, mountainous country, where
forage is very scarce, and high
ways are unknown. Here the
peculiar capabilities of the mule
had ample room to show them
selves, and the result was so
greatly in his favor, as compared
with the horse, that it may be
regarded practically settled that
he will become a fixture in mod
ern armies, and as essential as
arms or ammunition.
The result has been a wonder
ful increase in the demand for
mules, and a corresponding ex-
pansion in breeding and raising
them. The general farmers who
stopped breeding horses some
years ago, as they could buy
horses cheaper than they could
raise them, are beginning TO use
mules on the farm, and find they
are great workers, more easily
cared for than horses, and freeI
from disease.
The sales of mules at the Chi
cago stock yards the last year
have been surprisingly large.
Only few weeks ago a mule
sent there for sale was a rarity
Now there are consignments Of
fered every week, and from 2OC
to 300 are frequently on sale at

LABOR ORGANIZERS EXPENSES.
Central Federated Union Refuses to Pay
$40 for Three Days Of Ben TiIIett.

Ben Tillett, the English Social
list, came here last November as
q delegate from the British
Trades Union Congress to the
convention of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. Being the or
ganizer Of the London Dock La
borers' Union, he was asked by
Delegate Robinson, the Fedora
toms organizer, to spend a week
among the longshoremen here
trying to organize them before
he returned to England.
According to Robinson, Tillet
was to receive from the Fedora
ton $21, its regular salary for
the work, but he said he could
only stay three days, and, so
Robinson declares, he only spent
ten minutes among the long
shoremen, who paid little atten-
ton to him.
Robinson explained to the Cen
trail Federated Union at its meet
ing yesterday that for these three
days Tillett's expense bill was
$40. He advanced Tillett mon
ey, but did not like to submit
Tillett's bill to the Federation of
Labor and asked if the G. f. u.
wouldn't foot it. Everybody at
once began to protest.
"What do Tillett and his kind
take us for ?" shouted August
Waldinger of the Arcade Work
ers' Union. "Does he think the
Central Federated Union is an
industrial COW, to be MIXED by
every one ?"
81 don't like to hear such talk
of a labor man." remarked the
chairman.
"You may like il or not" said
Waldinger. "We've been suck
ers too long. This man Tillett
has been doing the same thing
everywhere. He charged a New
York labor union $50 for address
ing meeting for three minutes.
Yet he calls himself one of us. u
Some of the delegates said they
were sorry that Tillett wasn't
present. Delegate Pommer said
that Tillet had been doing the
same thing all over the country,
and that complaints of his ex-
pense bills had come from cities
as far away as Cincinnati.
81 can tell something about
Tillett's expense bills" said
George H. Warner, delegate of
the machinists. "Our Reception
Committee, which went to Wash
ington to meet him, had to pay
$3.50 for three days of his expen-
ses there"
Some of the delegates wanted
to know what Tillett did with
the money. Warner said he
didn't know. 1t was decided by
reclamation to refund only the
money that Robinson had ad-
vanced to Iillett and let the
Englishman be responsible fol
the rest of the bill.-N. Y. Sun.
