GUTIERREZ STILL CLAIMS
 PRESIDENCY OF MEXICO.
His Action Brings Another Factor inte
 Mexican Tangle,

Washington. Jan. 21.-General Eula- lio Gutierrez, elected provisional presi- dent of Mexico by the convention at AgUascalientes, has not abandoned his claim to that office with his departure from Mexico City. Tn a proclamation issued from Pachuca and reported to the state department today Gutierrez, asserting that he is the legally chosen executive, charges that the convention which reassembled at Mexico City was under military coercion and formally declares Villa, Zapata and other gen. erals deDosed from their commands.
 This proclamation, which is virtu- ally the same as the manifesto which Gutierrez offered to issue two weeks ago, while he still was in the capital, if General ObTegon and others would join him in movement to eliminate Villa and Zapata, accuses both of the latter officers Of murder, brigandage and high-handed insubordination, de- clareS independence of Carran2a as well, and calls upon the Mexican ma tion for support. With several thousand weil-arrned troops, according to consular des- patches, Gutierrez has moved north from Pachuca7 and it is believed ne is heading for San Luis -P0tosi. His ac- ton brings three rival factions into the field of Mexican politics, each claim ing to exercise the sovereign authority of government: General Carranza at Vera Cruz. as first chief of the con stitutionaIist army" claims executive auIhoriyt by the plan or Qua daluep; Colonel Roque Gonzales Garaa. tempo rary executive now at Mexico City, was appointed by the convention in session there on the ground that the departure of Gutierrez was an automatic resig- nation of his office, and Generals, Villa and Zapata, according to offcssil ad- vices, are still working in harmony, supportinG the conNention.

The day after the injury the agent for the insurance committee visited them and informed them that the in surance was not taken out in proper form, that the policies were of no value and offered to refund the money paid as premium. His offer was ac- cepted by all except Mir. Coy and in consequence he was the only one of the party that received the insurance benefit. MT. Coy is now nearing his eightieth year and Is residing in his native Westerly. After leaving New London he spent many years in Chi cago and retired from active busi- ness several years ago.

 Other mems failures will never save us. We've got to work out our own salvation. It is perfectly clear that more head-work would help some of us. It is perfectly clear that sturdy of soils would help others. It is per fectly clear that many would change their methods of farming if they should keep accounts enough to tell them what crops were produced or what stock kept at d loss.
 All these tt,inss have been said, over and over again, for To, these many years: said not only by out siders who don't know 6, farm from a country estate but also by practi- cal farmers who can tell at sight the difference between & 11ay-forlE and q nsnure-foTk.

 l. is possible that he might save some little from the pitiful residue which trickles back to him by more intensive cultivation of less acres, thereby reducing taxes and other costs by 8 trifie. But that Is small matter, at the most, and one solely for the severely practical and strict iy technical consideration of the in dividual farmer. It is not one on which any non-farmer is competent to advise or even to form an opinion Be- cause he doesn't know the primary facts to base an opinion on, and can't know them except as he is taught them by farm experience.
 What we farmers want is not ad- vice from bystanders how to grow stuff, but a fair show and a square deal in getting our just share of the money which the consumer pays for the stuff We already raise.
 At present we are not getting it. And that's the exact reason why our average incomes are so small.
 When we can get, as pay for rais- ing our crops, within a fair margin of what consumers Day for those crops, we'll attend to the matter of raising more and bigger crops, our selves, thank you,

Cocoa by Choice,

The uninffuenced choice of the British soldier sometimes runs in the direction of teetotal drinks. as has been discovered by a -teetotal friend of mine near Q camp who has placed his bathroom and beer-cellar at the disposal of the privates. After they have bathed in hot water with which great big cakes of eau-de- cologne soap are supplied there is an adjournment to the study, where the men are confronted by beer bottles, cups, and a steaming cocoa urn. Have your choice, lads,' says the zerial host, and over ffny per cent of them take cocoa.-I ondor Chronicle.

A Norwich sIeddIns party had wis ited New London and a return match was arranged to take place on Fort hill, in Preston, on the night of Jan uary 1S, 1877. The New London party was made up of John Coy, Frederic S. Newconb,- Frank ". Dow, F'ederic l.. Allen, Jr, Andrew Wagner, George Stiles and a young boy named James Adams. Their sled was big double ripper that had made fast record on Hampstead street, having beaten the Norwich sled, and the New Londoners had high hopes of winning on the Fox hill speedway. The start was made and the New London sled took the lead, but had coasted about one third of the distance, when in order to prevent collision the sled was veered off the course and crashed i'm to lamp post with great force. All of the sled crew were injured but those most seriously hurt were Frank Dow whose legs were fractured, John Coy received injury in the groin and 1t was feared he would not re- cover, and the Adams boy had his legs and hip broken and was crippled for life

CWTitten Specially for The Bulietin.)
 4 friend has sent me a clipping from a recent issue of The Wall Street Journal about 'FaTm Incomes Tn it the writer reports the recent finding of the Department of Agri- culture that 'the average income of the farmers of this country is less than that of a laboring man.. More than heH our farmers had incomes of less than S640 a year"
 To man on Wall street, where all life is centered about the idea. of money, and where ones value is as- ;sessed hy his wealth, 1t is no wonder t5Jat such a discovery is distressing. The writer says it is- 1t is dis f-essing to think that half of the six million farmers who feed the country must receive such 8 pitifuI return for T0sl that knows no union hours It 1s eVeE worse, because this income represents not the work Of one man l1gs ths whole family"
 Having thus shown his sympathy and distress over the sad condition tES the farmer the Wall street writer proceeds, quite in the usual fashion of our urban-not always urbane- friends, to tell him why he fails and what he must do.
 He fails. it seems. because he does
 
 much as banking; because he hasn't any adeG uate system of crop accounting; because he does not ap- preciate the necessity of a soil anRiysiS''; because he does not know whether any one COW in his herd iS making money for him or is a free and expensive boarder''; because if you should tell him that his soil is teeming with bacteria, that were de- signed to work for him. he wouldn't even ask what bacteria were; be- cause. if he doesn't make any better wages than reported he may make farmer even though he tilis the soiI' and because the man who does not farm with his head might as well have his head cut off.
 Now, much cf this is true; as true as it is trite-as true as the prohi- bition against laying treasures on earth where moth and rust corrupt, man on his own things but every man also on the things of others. or the rule Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you do ye so to them prohibitions and commands and rules which are as old as Christianity but which are not understood to be fav- oTably nor regularly practiced by the habitues of Wall street.
 IL would he perfectly fair, in re- sp0nse to this Wall street writer's animadversions upon farmers to bid him pluck the beam out Of his own eye before criticising the mote in his neighbor's.

 Of course it isn't. But why in clude this in an address to farmers?

One year not long ago my small orchard produced about ten barrels of marketable fruit, for which I got s2.50 q barrel at my door, $26 in all at a cost for picking of about s2.50. This past season the same small or chard, thanks to spraying and tillage and mulching and fertilization and 8 good sea son, produced about thirty barrels of marketable apples. I sold twelve barrels for a dollar a barrel; twelve more for $10.50, $22.Se in all The cost for picking alone was about s7.50. As you'll note, that first year I got for ten barrels. over and above the cost of picking, $2250. This past year, having extracted from the soir' just three times as many apples I got for them, over and above the cost of picking, $15.

 The market determined the far mer's income, then, and not the amount of goods he produced. That's just the thing we farmers are up against,-the market. And we have about as much to say in regard to the prices of that market as the man in the moon has to say about the politics of MexicoI
