MILLER haa served notice upon the democrats that those who bolt Boyd will bo watched and branded. Who will brand those republicans who bolt their candidate and vote for Boyd ? GAIT. SAM. HERMAN Is after the cflice of internal revenue collector , which 1 worth 84,800 a year. It i the besl federal position in the state. There' * nothing small about the captain , except his utaturo.

" VOMAN SUFFRAGE IN NEW YOtlK It is claimed that the advocates of the 'Oman suffrage movement In the New 'ork legislature propose , If poealble , to onfcr ndon the women of that state the ght of sniTrago without first submitting the question to the vote of the people , hls'.hiu created consldcrnblo excitement n New York oven among the women lemsolvea , who are divided upon the ubject. Many of the leading ladles o manifested a vigorous opposition to iio measure , and 110 women reprosont- ng the moit prominent families , f Now York city have ont In a protest to the legislature. Their xatnplo will undoubtedly bo followed by ho female opponents of woroan suf- rage In every city and town in ho state , and wo would note o surprised If there are more women who do not want suffrage than hose who do. The Now York Commer ial Advertiser says that there Is the gravest danger that the bill will become law , and it calls for the most vigorous , ctlon to defeat It. It considers It a great ntrago that the legislature elected wlth- nt any reference whatever to this sub- oct "shall work a revolution by extend ng the suffrage to women merely in atlsfaction of their own fads , without sking consent of their constituents or nding out whether or not women gen rally dciiro the suffrage. " The Adver- 'iscr ' adds that It will bo well If the women who do not wish to have iho jurdens of politics , jniy service , etc. , mposod , upon them , make haste and liter the protests , and that "it Is the uty also of men who believe that all rave questions of this kind thould bo oalt with deliberately and decided by hojwlll of the people , fairly ascertained , to protest promptly and vigorously gainst this attempt to take map judgment. " To say the cast the proposed action of the New York oglslaturo is not only singular , because t la altogether out of the usual method f procedure In such matters , bnt It car- : ainly Is very bold for It does not propose ; o allow the people to have any voice whatever upon the question. It hardly earns credible that such a measure can bo asaed in any such high handed way , bnt , ,3 wo hive shown , serious fears are ux- iroesod by Now York papers that it will lecomo a law unless vigorous stops are aken at once to defeat it. KANSAS' BOARD OF AGRIOUL- TURE. Wo have received the fourth annual re- ort of the state beard of agriculture o : Kansas. It is an elegantly printed volume f over 700 pagea , containing an im mense amount of valuable information o a dosciiptivo and statistical character \ very county in the stite , acsompanicc by colored sectional maps of each county A complete summaty of the progress anc development of the etata since its organ Izatlon Is given , besides the reports for ho years 1883 and 1881. The period covered by those years has been one o roat prosperity In all branches of In dustry in Kansas. The population during the years Increased 172,065 ; there wore 2,000,000 additional acres put nn der cultivation ; the numbers of the var Ions kinds of live stock have increasai largely during the aamo time , the Inter est keeping abreast with the advancemen made in agriculture. By consulting the pages of this exhaustive report any one will bo convinced that the state of Kan sas has every reason to bo proud of he record. The fasts presented inlly war rant the state in Issuing such a complete report. Kansas ii a great state , and 1 owes its prcsperity In a great measure to the liberal expenditure of money in judi cions advertising , by which it haa at traded the attention of home-seeker from all over the world. Had Nebraska followed a similar course she would to day have been aa great a state as Kansas The thoroughness with which the Knnai state board of sgrlculturo baa done it work la worthy of following even at thi late day by the Nebraska board. In ad dltlou to blenninl reports the Kanaa board issues anunal pamphlets giving in formation concerning the resource and capabilities of the stat to these seeking homos In the weal and it also publishes qaarterl orop'reporls , and monthly ' crop froporU during the six months beginning wit April. During UiopasH wo years the boarc his published 250,000 copies of reports o all kinds. All this work Is done nude the supervision of William Sims , secre tary of the board , who is evidently an expert port at the business. If Nebraska conl secure the services of such a man to ad vertlso her resources she would indeed b foitnnate"and if our board would stud the methods of the Kansas board it coul learn a great deal. At present the No bruka board virtually amounts to notn Ing. Its principal business Is attendln to the atato fair 'and figuring out how t make both endi'meot , UNLESS prompt action Is taken by th county commissioners and city council 1 providing the necessary means for bnllc Ing the retaining walls around the now court honso thera will bo very great dan ger to that building. There are now fit sures extending In the ground to with ! five feet of the north porch , and th cracks nil along tbo north bankfare llabl at any tlmo to c&uto a serious landslide and particularly eo when the spring rain begin. Something must be done immc dlately to provide concrete foundation at least for the retaining walla to th height ot the foundation of the building The county cormmtsloners Inform us tha they have only (2100 on hand with whic to carry on the county government unl the end of the fiscal year. This will nebo bo sufficient to pay the salaries an court expenses. They have spent slno January , out of the general fund for th car , $51,000 for furniture , steam ixturos and constntction of the court OUBO. This has exhausted the entire eneral fnnd , with the exception of the mall balance on hand. Inasmuch as the Ity owns seven-tenths of the property in 10 county It would seem to us that It Is 10 manifest duty of the mayor and city ouncll to take Immediate stops to assist 10 commissioners In raising thoneccstary ands in some way. If the now court onao front should bo disturbed by setting ing in any way , owing to the caving In of lie banks , it would bo an Irreparable amaoro which $100,000 would not repair. GOULD AND ADAMS. It is a very cold day when the railroad monopolists got loft. During tha late atnpaiu it was an open secret that aruos G. Blaluo gave a very willing oar o his dear friend Jay Gould , and if Jlalno had boon elected there is but Ittlo doubt that Gould , who contributed o liberally to the Bclshazzar feast , ex- looted to exorcise a controlllnc influence vor the administration. It goes with- at saying that Mr. Blalno'a election wonld have boon Jay Gould's salvation , ud the Union Pacific directory wonld lot have boon reorganized by Gould's otlreniont. On the other hand Charles Francis Adams , who represents Boston lapital and culture , iras a very out' ' pokon and unreserved supporter ol Cleveland and refoim. It was his good ortuno to enlist with the battalions ol ho Lord and the winning candidate. Through Mr. Adams the Union Pacific iia secured a fiiend in court. It la low conceded that It was his Influence that kept Allen G. Thnrman enl if Mr. Cleveland's cabinet , am nbstltutod Mr. Lamar , who always IBS had a warm regard for the vested ights of the railway monopolies. It was n perfect accord with the eternal fitness > f things that the man above all others In ho domocratio party who had a ttainless record as an outspoken exponent and do- eudor of the rights of the people as ig&lnat the nggraislons of corporate mon opoly should bo sacrificed aa a peace of- trlcy to the distinguished mugwump rom Massachusetts , who la trying to iclp the Union Pacific stockholders to ave what little there is loft of the wreck uado by Gould and Dillon by tlieir pecn- iar methods. The spectacle to the American people of a reform president playing into the lands of a wrecked monopoly Is not very encouraging , to say the least. The only difference between Cleveland's Biibacr ylency to Charles Frrncis Adams anc Blaine's attachment for Jay Gould la tha he former passes for highly respectable jut to the patrons of the road , however whoaromercilesslytaxcdto meet the Inter eat and dividends upon fraudulent debts vad fictitiouB stocks It la a distinction without a difference. THE board of education adopted a res olntlon to the effect that it would not ob ject to the quarterly payment of liquor licenses , provided the liquor dealers pay $1,000 during the year. This seems to bo in accord with the general sentiment and wo do not think anybody will objec to this system if tbo quarterly payment are made In advance. It might bo wol for the board of education to employ ant pay a special policeman to attend to nothing else but the llceneo business Ho could moro than earn his salary b ; looking after the delinquents , and seeing that every liquor dealer takes out a license. There is considerable llqno being sold without license , and thi Illicit traflic should be stopped hi justice to those who pay , If for nothing else Acting upon the resolution of the boarc of education the city council unanlmousl ; passed an ordinance which will probabl ; provo satisfactory * Under thla ordinance $250 must bo paid at the first quarter o the municipal year , and a like amount a the opening of each subsequent quarte until the end of the year. The ordi nance also provides that if an appllcatloi Is made after tha commencement of th first quarter of the municipal year and before the beginning of the second qnar tor , the applicant must pay $500 ; and i the application la made after the scconi quarlor , $750 will be required. Tbi provision is Intended to secure the fn payment of $1,000 , so that a saloon keeper cannot do business for a quarto or half a year , and then escape paymen for the other quarters , The law dla tinctly says that no license shall Usuo fo loss than ono year , and the ordlnanc haa been drawn to comply with this re quiromont. TUB Jlepublican's support of Mr fd doea not necoititato an attack open or covert , upon Mr. Murphy , wh was yesterday nominated by the ropnbll nans of thU city for msyor. Had such result been absolutely guaranteed pro vlous to the nomination of Mr. Boyd , i is probable that there wonld have bee no citizens' movement. Uepublloan. Now will the Republican be km ! enough to explain whether It was ofrnlc that Hascall would bo the republics nominee ] Hascall Is out and ont fo Boyd , and the llcpubllcan\n for Bojd To a man up a tree It wonld seem tha the Jlcjnillican jumped the fence abou the nme tinio Hsscall discovered h could nofgct the nomination.

WASHINOTON , March 17. Thirteen imidrod now buildings , worth about $4- )00COO ) , were erected In Washington out year. Fine residences are going up til over the city , nnd U is fast becoming the custom for n public man to own hia own house In Washington. Ono of the oadlng real oatuto ngonta here is my minority for the following ostlruato of iho homes of some of the lending mnn of the nation : "Blaino'o house cost $1)0,000 ) , nnd 11 rents for 10 per cent on $ itO,000 : ; Don Cameron's big honso on Hoott Circle is worth $80,000 , and It is ono of the finest finished houses in Washington ; Wlndom's honsB , just across the w V ) which cost him hia plnco In the senate , it worth § 00,000 and ought to rent for a ; oed interest on that amount. Pondlo- bon'a house just obovo Cameron's cost $40.000 to build , and Is now worth $00,000 , nnd the big brick of Secretary Robcson which adjoins It is valued ut twlco this sum. Doll , the telephone - phone man , alee lives on Scott Oirclo. Ho paid $115,000 for his housa and stable , and it Is ono of the moat valuable properties In Washington. Omnr D. Oongor has n house on M street , just oil of Thomas Circle , which Mrs. Cong bought at a bargain. She gave $20,000 for It. It was built by a pawnbroker , and It is , I should Bay , worth tnico ai much as It cost. Mrs. Dtthlgron , the wife of the admiral , haa a mansion look int ; out toward the Thomas statue worth $05,000 , nud just ncrosi the way , In o brown otono house , on the corner , which Is corUlnly worth $35,000 , lives Poker Bob Schonck. "OENEUAL SHEUHUN'H IIOCSK la worth about $30,000. Sunset Cos has the prettiest little honso hi Washington , made of green stone , and this hin wlfo bought for 830,000 ; and Senator Allison , of lovra , has a brick , punted white , just opposite the Portland Hats which will bring any dny $15,000 under the ham- mor. John Sherman's homo on K street Is worth at least $50,000. Ho bought the ground for a Eong when Franklin Park , which it faces , was a cow pasture and a ball ground , and his friends laughed at the idea of It over bolng worth any great amount. Now 1 anp pose you could not buy vasant ground there , if tboro were any , for Iocs than $10 a square foot , and the host houses ol the capital are all around it. Sherman also owns much other real estate aboul the city. Iio Is far seeing and would mabo a line real estate mm. " "What Is W. W. Oorcoran's house worth ? " "It HOB , you know , just acres ] from Iho white house , and includes a whole squar of ground. It could not bp bought at any price , but I suppose it to bo wcr h $150,000 at least. A little further up OH H street Bancroft , the old historian , lives in a $35OUO housa cf painted brick , and catacorncred across the way Is the homo of John McLean's father-In hw , General Boalo , worth , I should say , $40 000. The McLeans otvn a great deal ol Washington real estate. John recently piid out $51,000 for the Holmead ceme tery lot above Blame's and ho will divide It up Into lots and sell it. Washington McLean , John's father , owns a housu on ono of the best corners of 1 street worth several times the salary of the chlof jus tice of the United States , and he has just bought Dan Sickles' old house near the white house for , I think , $37,000. Speaking of TUB SUl'UEUB COURT , " the real estate man continnad , "Vr'nito owns a hcuso on n etrcct worth $20,000 , Miller's house is worth $40,000 , Mathews - ows has a homo nn the corner of I and Eighteenth streets , which Is tusthetlcally built and would bring , I should say , $05- 000. It Is in the heart of the best sec tion of the capital , and Its back windows look Into the reception room of the Bri tish Legation mansion. Judge Fluid has a brick house modeled ont of ono of the buildings aroBs from the capitol which used to be a prison , and thla Is worth about $10,000. There is talk of appro pr'at'ng ' the ground of which it stands to the now library building , and if so the judge will probably move to the north west part of the city. " Across the capital plateau from Field's ' is Bon Butler's big atone mansion , which ought to bo worth as much as Blame's and which , it Is said , is mortgaged for $80,000. Tnls fcai four great divi-Ions and Is largo enough to accommodate four families. Pait of It is rented to the gov eminent , and part to private parties. SENATOR PALMER , OF MICHIOAN , Is bnildlng a house on K street facing McPherson Sqnuro , on ground that ii worth perhaps $8 a square foot. The houao is an immense brown atone aa big as a college , and It has a stable built 01 to Its back ond. Just next to it on the corner is the mansion of Judge Lowrp , of Now England , a man who Is related ir same way to Levy Woodbnry , the secre tary of the treasury under Van Burcn and afterward supreme court juttlco , Lowry Is Troalthy , and is very nlco follow. At the sldo ol his hoiiBo he has a beautiful lawn , and Palmer in building his house expected to have the benefit of this for his back windows dews , including his dining room end eo forth. With thla in view he liuishoc thla part of hit house In pressed brick and put up a beautiful bay window on the Fifteenth atroet sldo of it. Lowry aakod Palmer as a special favor to pul his stable somewhere else than en the hick of the home sbylng It would bj of fensive to him and would injure hia vlow and lot , Palmer , however , ( ho ulory goes , refused to pay any attention to wishes and made the stable n wing of his big mansion , Now Lowry to oilaot this has built u ] > a preasd brick wall on tbo back of his lot aa high , almost , as Pal- mo r'a second atory , completely abutting off the vlow irotn Palmer's dining-room and doing moro injury to hia properly than tbo value of tan ntables , " THE IIOUKKS IIKt.OMHNO TO JJKMIIEK.S OF CONGRESS. ara few.

Lawyers are fast monopolizing the big odiccs of the government. They form the great msjorlty of both parties In congress and of Cleveland's cabinet. Dan Manning Is the only ono who Is not a lawyer The president 1s a lawyer , Endicott made what reputation ho has practicing law , Garland Is of course a lawyer and Lamar , scholar that ho IB , practiced law before ho came to Wnuhlnizton. General WalthMl , the man who takoi Lamar's seat In the sounto , has boon making $10,000 n year at the law. Senator Spooner , of Wis consin , has brcn earning for the past ton yonra $10,000 as counsel ot the Omaha & St. Paul road , Lolnnd Stanford laid the foundation of hlo $75,000,000 studying law , nnd Mr. Evarts has a law practice tu Now York running very near § 75,000 a voar. Senator Euttlce , of Louisiana , Is a fine- lawyer and is worth half a million , Pnyno begin as a lawyer and for years r.tkod In big foes In Cleveland. Teller , n farmer's boy , studied law nnd through his practice In Denver got Into the mining speculations which made his millions. Tom Bowen did the sitne , and Edmunds , having got to the sanato through hia reputation as lawyer , keeps up his practice hero and $50,000a year in addition to his salary. John Shotnuu sUrtcd lifis by practicing law with his brother Charley , at Mana- Hold , O. , and when ho was first married decided to sivo $5CO n year. Iio has dropped the pracMco since ho came to Washington , nnd his $500 yearly savings must have jumped into several times as many thousands. Sam Cox began Ufa as a lawyer In Zuioavlllo , 0. , and his Grst fee was $25 Bayard studied law with his father after fulling a merchant , and Frolloghnyson , his predecessor , was noted lawyer of Now Jeroey. Pondloion studied law. Sherman is ouo of the finest constitutional lawyers In the country. Hoadly was nuking $30,000 n year when ho was elected governor , and the supreme court ia , of c nine , a sot of lawyers in bhckgowns. Coukling made a reputation iu politic ? , lost It and went back to the law , and gossip says ho makes $100,000 n year Ben Butler makes nearly as much , nnd .Ferry Wilson and Judga Shollabargor , bolh of whom now make their acoro or so of thousands here , yearly , got Into politics through the law , and they loft politics to gu back Into the moro money-making legal profession. Joe Brovrn , of Georgia , now worth his millions , made his start at the law. Bob Toombs , who hates Brown , did thonamo , and Senators Ingalle , Cockroll , Coke , Cclquilt , Conger , Halo and Frpo are all limbs of tlio law. Conger left Ohio for Michigan on ascount of a little j trouble which ho had iu a law c.is.1 , and so I might go on from " < Allison to Wihon , from the beginning to the end of the senatorial alphabet , and show you that moro than throe-fourths of the senators have undo their beginning in politics by their eminence or cunning before the courts. It is the same in the house. Tom Rood trained hl.s sarcastic tongue by pettifog ging. Homan ! got his economical ideas by cutting down the judgments of his legal opponents , and Joe Blackburn's flowery sentences are the product of train- ino ; bsforo a jury and the Fourth of July celebrations which the lawyer is expected to address LAWYERS IN OUH 1'AHT POLITICS. The brains which have governed thin country in the past have been thoHO which have undergone legal training. All of the preiidcnts , except Washington , Harrison , Taylor , and Grant , have been admitted to the bar. Buchanan was making a fortnro al the law when ho got into pollt'cs. ' Andrew Jackson was a young lawyer when ho nnrried his wife. Millard Fillmore was llko Cleveland , n lawyer from Buffalo , and the lortuno which ho left was found ed on law foes. Andrew Johnson could r > ad and did read law books when he was still unable to write easily , and Abe Lin coln was cillod to take charge of a scandal - dal case at a bar at which Bob Ingorsoll win then practicingbeforo ho was elected president. Daniel We bit or , the greatest of statesmen , practiced law before the supreme court here , and Henry CJiiy , It is eaid , usad to stop iu Iho middle of an argument before the chief justlco , and ask him for a pinch of snuli batons ha wont on. Jdl'Davla made a legal reputa tion before ho came to Washington , away back in the fifties or more , and John C. Cftlhonn , though ho devoted his Ufa to politics , began aj a lawyer. Alexander Hamilton was n lawyer , and a good one , Aaron Burr madu a big thing at law nftorho was disgraced by bin duel and hn conspiracy , and Koverdy Johnson , Chief Justice Athoy , Salmon ! ' . Chase , and a score ot others I could name , began as lawyers , made great nainuB , and then went into the sphere of politics , and succeeded thoro. Webster , it Is slid , used to consider hia services in the senate in a legal light , and charge fees for them. Kuvordy Johnson did the sima , and B3did other statesmen of the good old days when all was pure , and Uod ruled the land , Since the beginning of our government tbo law has beun the only school for pol itics which wo bayo had. It will prob ably continue to be BO in the future , or until wo have a class of arlstoritlc wealthy families who can have their sons educated for political life , as Is now done In Germany , Franco , England , and other European countrlm. A GnoillleuiTTiu flUDIIna. Dos Moine Lender , Pojtmaster-Gonoral Clarkson must have a good deal on hia mind. Thus there U the eoiapo ho got Sherman Into , thlnkli g to detract attention from the prohibition question and do a good turn for the monopolies at the tame time. It wa easy enough to bins Sherman on , but it in nuxt to Imposeiblo to choke him eft" But what is bitterer worm wood to the gro tin his own mind- republican loader , whose portrait is not to go on the pottage eUnips for a few years , is tbo fact that his chieftain , Blalnu , tbo uhlninir taint of republican ism , has called on Cleveland and Is going to have him to dinner. And sfter ho had telegraphed Clarkson to "publish the Boflalo sandal , " The public will hold Us breath to knoir what Olaarknon Is going to do about it.
