Campbell, publisher Phila delphia, has issued a boofc entitled "Pennsylvania Politics," which gives tho speeches made by Senator Quay during the campaign of 19QQ. As a sort of a text, and printed on the open ing page, is the following extract from Senator Quay's speech at Phoenixvllle: "Pennsylvania is honest, her people are honest, her officials are honest. And of all this union of states, Penn sylvania is the fairest, and the hap piest, and tho most intelligent, and the best governed." This is certainly strong testimony in behalf of the state, and as the wit ness is fully informed on the subject it only remains to be shown that the witness is free from bias and selfish interest, and unimpeachable in other respects.

Red Polled Cattle The last issue of The Commoner contained an article setting forth the merits of the Holsteins, written by Mr. 'J. O. Doubt of University Place, Nebf, from whom Mr. Bryan purchased one of that breed. Below will be found an interview with Mr. J. M. Hober of Central City, Neb., relative to tho Red Polled cattle. Mr. Bryan has arranged to secure from him a good representativeof this breed. Mr. Hober says: "The Red Polled cattle are superior to any other breed in this that thoy possess to a greater degree tho com bined elements required to constitute a general purpose breed. Being polled, together with their natural disposi tion, they are more docile and domes ticated than any other breed, which of itself is an element worth considera tion by those contemplating the pur chase of registered or thoroughbred stock. As to their possibilities as beef cattle, while they are not tho largest breed, yet it is not difficult to make them weigh two thousand pounds at fpur years old and some have even reached the twenty-eight hundred mark when fully grown. Such an one was the famous Imported Peter Piper, of which the writer's herd are descend ants. As milkers they have no su perior from the standpoint of quan tity, except possibly the Holstein, and no superiors from the standpoint of richness or butter-making qualities. Another quality possessed by the Red Polled cattle and not found to the same extent in any other breed (and that is also worthy of consideration by tho prospective purchaser) is the hardi ness of the breed, together with tho quality of easy keeping. It is a fact to which I take pride in referring after seventeen years' experience in raislug thoroughbred cattle that tho Red Polled will keep fat on much less feed than any other breed and will stand more severe weather, with legs disas trous effects. "As I have previously in this article referred to the size to which the Red Polled cattle attain, it may not be out of place to here state that I have a thoroughbred calf which is now five months old" and weighs five hundred and fifty pounds."
