OTJAND OLD PARTY. THE BLACKEST PUBLIC CON TRACT EVER MADE. r% Tin ltft.ni. for III. t.ntnnt t'lrv.laml llnnd Ill'll- t.lnonln nn loan.—Tho Mil I lor.ii‘ I rimiti: mill Hi. Ilaj.r W»ll« to Huy—A ITunl Hoi-optlon. _ I A Itlurtc I ontr'irt. . Senator l.odge spoke none too I •trongly when ho characterized Mr. Cleveland's recent bond deal with a foreign syndicate an tho *• blackest public contract over made by tho gov ernment of tho United .states.” Hy secretly disposing of the >0,000 thirty-year loan at 1011, when pre cisely tho sumo class of bonds with only twelve years to run were being quoted at over 110, the administra tion, tho professed champion of na tional good faith, dclihoratoly dirkod tho public credit. At the same time it practically robbed tho treasury of nearly ♦lO.mO.oo >, tho dltTeronco tio twocn the sum which the now issue wan sold ut and that which It would have brought in open market. it is folly for Senator Hill to at tempt to defend such nn outrageous transaction, says tho New York Ad vertiser. It cannot bo dono. Tho last 150,000,000 loan was negotiated •on a basis of 2.87H per cent, and in his annual report last December Sec retary Carlisle asserted that another loan could lie floated at 2.50. Tho price which 4 per cent bonds expiring in 11)07 now command shows, that this •estimate was not wide of tho mark. Instead of taking advantage of this favorable sentiment toward our gov ernment securities, howevor, Mr. <'levo!and premeditatedly entered into a back stairs bargain with European •capitalists on a basis of .4 j per cent. Ho not only made no effort to obtain "the host, terms possible for tho new •loan by giving tho public an opportu nity to bid for it but. evidently con scious of tho shamelessness of tho <leal, he carefully kept tho American people, in whoso name this debt, was contracted, in ontiro ignorance of it until the transaction had boon closed. Tli is scandalous ploeo of underhand favoritism shows that Mr. Cleveland's ■ ■capacity for blundering in unimpaired. Jt Is need loss, however, to dwell upon this fact. The public long ago learned to accept it us n mutter to bo taken for granted. It is high time, how ; over, for Mr. Cleveland to understand that the American people will not yff tolerate star chamber methods of gov ernment, much less any trifling with the national credit. The financial question is not another Hawaiian muddle, in which to a certain extent 1m was master of his own actions, but ai matter of vital concern to the most Important interests of the republic. Mr. Cleveland was chosen to protoot the good faith of the nation, not to barter it away by a private dicker . | with foreign money lenders. It is if- time for the White house autocrat to mend his imperious ways. _ Lincoln on Loans. This is what President Lincoln said In his last message (December, 1864), *■ to foreign or domestic investments, *nd 'v‘° a11 know through what a iinan cial heavy sea he was tnon steering the ship of state: K- ‘'The public debt on the first of July last (1864), as appears by the books of the treasury, amountod to 41,<4t), 690,489.49. Probably should the war continue for another year, that amount may be increased by not | far from $500,000,000. ••Held as it is, for the most part, by our own people, it has become a sub stantial branch of national, though private property. For obvious roa ooos, the more nearly this property oan bo distributed among all the peo ple the better. ••lo favor such general distribution gk eater inducements to become owners % *might, perhaps, with good effect and -ostthout injury, be presented to per- 1 son* of limited means. ••With this view, I suggest whether 'It might not be both competent and •esp^lient for congress to provide that ■' .a limited amount of some future issue '©! public securities might be held by •ay bona-fide purchaser exempt from • ‘ taxation and from seizure for debt, .under such restrictions and limitations M might be necessary to guard •gainst abuse of so important a priv * ilesT„- . •‘♦Thiis wrtnlrl nnnKIn aua*.i n •porjon to set aside a small annuity - J»*ain»t a possible day of want. ••Privileges like these would render the possession of such securities, to the amount limited ,tho most desirable to every p?rson of small moans, who miffht lie able to save enough for the -purpose. The great advantage of clt dzons being creditors as well as debt -ors, with relation to the public debt.is obvious. Men can readily see that they cannot be very much oppressed "by a debt which they owe to them* selves. ” Contraction by Contract. The amount of money per head m tliis country was some years ago prob * ably at least as great as that of any jp other nation, but it has lately been so contracted that it Is possibly below that of even Spain or Portugal. XI on to l oil our. With due respect to Mr. Car lisle, if there is not a treasury deficit twice as large as his promised surplus next. January tho country will be agreeably disappointed.

Tho political party that will keep tho treasury Hush without crying bonds for sale will do more for the cotton industry than anything else. Another “Object Lemon." That American flag which a re duced and un-American tariff was to raise on every sea doos not flaunt just yet, nor do the "markets of tho world" of which wo heard so much in the year when tho "business men” of the country voted for Mr. Cleveland appear to be opening up according to the promisos of tho campaign and tho intent of the Wilson duties. Both the "merchant marine" which tho Dem ocracy was to create and the foroign purchaser whom it was to discover are as far from view as tho dollar wheat which tho late Jeremiah Simpson was to bring to tho Seventh district of Kansas. Not only has tho foreign purchaser failed to put In an appear unco, but tho home purchaser, the best in all tho world, has made his disappearance, if tho expression may ha used. Tho promises of Bourbon ism are found to be short at both ends; there is no flag upon tho sea, thoro is no buyer anywhere. Tho report of the government bu reau of statistics on foroign. commorce shows that in 1M!)4 our trade with other countries was tho lowest that it has boon for ten years. In both ex ports and imports tho decline of trade was striking. Since it is tho dear farrnor who was to lie most helped by "tariff reform,” it is worthy of especial mention that tho chief falling off in exports was in I'orn, which shows a loss of over $13, l) 10,000. The loss in the foreign market for wheat and flour was more than throe timos this sum. und cotton growers suffered to almost exactly the same extent. Dairy farmers lost nearly $£,000,000 and tobacco raisers nearly $1,000,000. So this is what comes from tearing down tho so-called "Chinoso wall” and giving tho farmer access to the "mar kets of tho world!" The wnrut tfn.ila in ten years! No selling or buying— paralysis of both hands! If this is what tho Wilson bill has done for our commerce on the sea, how much greater must be the damage to our home trade, which covers the bulk of our productions, tint we do not need to wait for figures from -the de partment to know tho scope and depth of business depression in this country; all that can be told of this we have learned in idleness and pain. In view of tho statistics on foreign trade which have been issued, and of what every citlzon has observed and felt at homo, the conclusion is natural that it was not only at Hono lulu that the Cleveland administration pulled down tho flag.—Kansas City Journal. Crnel Deception. Among tho entries in ox-Quoen IJl’s diary produced at her late trial w%s this: “J. O. Carter called to day and delivered President Cleve land’s present tome." This naturally excited speculation as to what the royal tid-bit or souvenir could have been, or what love-tokon her dusky highness sent in return, but all tho romance is knocked out of the transac tion by an indignant denial direot from the White house that the president has ever sont the ax-queen any prosent, not even a comic valentine.

INTERESTING CHAPTERS FOR OUR RURAL READERS. Bow RuccMMful Farmers Operate This Department of the Homestead—Hints as to the Care of Lire Stock and Poultry. A Dairy Discussion* At a farmers' institute held in Woolcott, N. Y., recently the follow ing discussion took place, as reported by Orange County Farmer: 'Q—How long will the “starter” Mr. I Eastman spoke of this morning, keep in condition for use? Mr. Eastman—Make afresh "starter” every day, and use the milk of the cow last to come fresh in milk. That is about twelve hours old. It is no trouble to make it. If you churn day prepare the starter the morning before. Q-—Can you make as good butter from deep Betting cream as from that from open pans?j Mr. Eastman—I don’t know why. We have had fully as good success; but just as good butter has been made from cream raised in the open pans as in the submerged cans. But oftentimes the conditions are such, especially in summer, that this can not be done. As a rule the maker can not control the conditions of milk in open pans as he can in the gravity process; especially is this true during thunder showers, and sudden changes of temperature would not affect submerged milk. Q.—Will butter made from cream raised in open pans keep as well as that from deep setting cream? Mr. Eastman—We have never kept butter,therefore I am unable to answer the question. We sell our butter as fast as made, but I know of no reason why butter well made from such cream should not keep. Q.—What causes white flakes in butter? Mr. Eastman—There are two or three principal causes for these white specks found in butter. As a rule they are found in butter made from cream raised in open pans. They are bits Of H riPfl fiyaam InLinL _ .ill il_ seams or edges of the pans. Being hard and dry they will not churn. If the churn is stopped when the butter is in the granu lar form, and the butter floated, these specks will be drawn oft in the butter milk or be washed out of the granules, if the work is well done. If they get into the butter they will pro duce rancidness very rapidly. An other cause are bits which were thrown up during the cream raising process When the pan of milk has been left too long before skimming, a slight mold will form on the under side of the film of cream, and these caseine flecks will adhere to it. They then get into the churn just as the dried cream flecks do, and Bhould receive the same treatment. The flecks or specks are not found in separator cream, and as a rule, not in submerged cans. Q* Has the dehorning of cows proven satisfactory to those who have adopted the practice? Mr. Eastman—We have heard this question discussed at very many insti tutes in this state during the last two years, and a diversity of opinion ex pressed concerning the advisability of its operation, a few opposing it and many commending it. We have never found a man, however, who has had his herd dehorned who would have the horns put back again if he could. All were well pleased at the result and only those men who have never had the horns taken from their cows, and therefore know nothing about the re sults or effects, and the few agents of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and who are paid for their work in making war on those who have had their cows dehorned, are making any opposition to the prac tice. Q.—Is tuberculosis an infectious dis ease? Mr. Eastman—Yes; that is, the scien tists say it is. The disease may be transmitted from one animal to an other when both drink from the same pail or trough, or eat from the same manger. The diseased animal leaves saliva in the water or manger which the well cow takes in her food. It is also claimed that the diseased animal will also convey it to other animals which ieea m me same pasture. The sputa left on the grass becoming dried and powdered is blown about and falling on the grass the well cows eat’, they become diseased from taking the germ into their stomachs. It is also said that the disease can not be taken from the breath of the diseased cows. Q.—Which two breeds of cows are best for milk or butter? Mr. Eastman—I don’t know just what is meant from the question. I want a cow that will give me at least 5,000 pounds of milk in a year, and do it for the least possible cost When I find that I hare such a cow I keep her never inquiring about her pedigree or of what breed she is. I don't care of what breed she comes. Performance at the pail is what counts; 5,000 or more pounds of good milk given in ten months suits me better than pedigree, tolor or breed. We want a cow that willtyve us a profit on the cost of food and care. They are in all the breeds, just as the scrubs are in all breeds, and we must get introduced and be made acquainted with them. I am not one of the sticklers for a par ticular breed while ignoring all others, but am one for the butter and there fore money producing cow. Sags is a native of south Europe.

New milk is best for calves, and for the first week or two nothing else should be used; longer if they are weak, writes Miss Humphreys in The Dairy. But new milk is an expensive food, so something else must be substituted for it as soon as possible. Lessen the quantity of new milk by degrees. First give five quarts of new and one quart of skim milk, then four quarts of new and two quarts skim, and so on. While young, calves should get sweet skim milk, as sour milk would not be nat ural food for them, but when older they will live and thrive on thick milk or butter milk, and it is more digesti ble. It is particularly necessary to keep calves in comfortable, clean, well aired pens; above all they must be dry —wet bedding is an immediated cause of disease. Change of food is necessary, and every change should be gradual first from new milk to skimmed or sep arated milk and from that to solid food. If skim milk is scarce use calf-meal, this is a useful food when the supply of milk runs short. It is generally necessary when giving skim or separated milk to compensate for the butter fat removed, by some thing else; for this nothing is better than linseed, either in the shape of boiled flax seed or linseed meal. If milk is scarce make the flax seed into a jelly; this will provide both food and drink. If milk is plentiful, give eight quarts of milk and some linseed cake, broken in small pieces, as well. Crushed oats or some other meal as a change occasionally is very desirable, but it is best to keep principally to the linseed. After calves are a month old they may get a little good hay to nibble. If possible, continue to give linseed until the calves are 3 years old; it is a great means of keeping them free from the disease known as “black quarter.” “Prevention is better than cure," and ail care should be taken to keep calves, if possible, in good health, as once they get ill it is not easy to cure them. Chicken Cholera* L. N. Barr writes, saying: “Can you or any of your readers tell me of a cure for chicken cholera. I have been losing from three to five a week. I have tried nePDer tea without anv good effect.” We nave no confidence in remedies for chicken cholera, and believe the prevention is the only thing that can be done. When cholera breaks out among fowls the first thing to be done is to separate the sick from the well fowls. At once give a change of food, which should be of a nourishing char acter. Many writers believe in giving iron in some form. The old method was to put rustv nails in the drinking water. English poultrymen use whai is known as “Douglas’ Mixture.” This can be made by putting eight ounces of sulphate of iron (also called copperas or green vitriol) into a jug; (never use a metallic vessel) with two gallons oi water, adding one ounce of sulphuric acid (oil of vitriol). The ingredients can be obtained of any druggist. This medicine is to be put into the drink ing water in the proportion of a tea spoonful to a pint, and is found to be a useful tonic. As soon as the disease breaks out give this to the sick fowls, and also to the well ones to help them resist the disease. One writer says that he made a satu rated solution of alum, and whenever a bird was attacked, gave it two or three teaspoonfuls, repeating the dose next day. He mixed their feed.Indian meal, with alum water for a week. After adopting that course he lost nc fowls. Others advocate cayenne pepper, gunpowder and turpentine, feeding a little every other day for a week. Fowls that are well fed,well housed, and kept in a dry place, will seldom have cholera. In fact we do not know that they ever have it when prop erly handled. We would like to hear further about the place where these chickens were kept, whether there were any cold drafts allowed to strike them at night, or whether their pens are cold, damp and dark. Also, what has been their food? Tuburculoua Butter. Now comes a new danger. It has been generally conceded that though milk from tuberculous cows might be dangerous the butter was not so. The bacilli, being heavier than the cream, sank to the bottom and left the butter pure. An English exchange has the following: xne statistics or slaughtered ani-1 mala in Prussia, Hanover, Switzerland and other European countries show that from 3 to 12 per cent of the cattle are tuberculous, yet the milk must in most cases have been so. We can guard against tuberculous milk by sterilization, but now danger is threat ened us from the butter. Several years ago Heim showed that butter from tuberculous milk contained bacilli and could produce infection. Bang reached similar conclusions. Prof. Both of Zurich has, however, recently made experiments of more striking significance. He went into the markets and purchased butter from twenty different sources, repre senting different cantons of Switzer land. He then inoculated guinea pigs with this butter. In eighteen series of experiments the results were negative, but in two the inoculations were fol lowed by tuberculosis. In other words, 10 per cent of the butter of the Swiss market contained tubercle bacilli. Quite independently of Both, Dr. Brusaferro of Turin made experiments with the butter of the Italian markets. In nine tubs he produced infection once, which gives about the same pro portion as Roth’s. It is not to be supposed that 10 per cent of market butter is necessarily dangerous, for in many instances the number of bacilli is small and quite unable to cope with the juices of the stomach. StiU, infected butter is not safe to the predisposed, and the fact of its existence in Europe at least should be borne in mind. Pure Blood Is absolutely necessary in order to have good health. The greatest affliction of the human race is impure blood. There are about 2400 disorders inci dent to the human frame, the large majority arising from the impure or poisonous condition of the blood. The best remedy for all blood dis eases is found in Hood's Sarsaparilla. Its remarkable cures are its loudest praise. It is not what we say but what Hood’s Sarsaparilla does that tells the story. No remedy has ever had so marked success, or won such enormous sales.
