MANXINO'S reports of

Every month wo have an announcement
from Washington that the debt has been
reduced several millions which the pub

United States owes as much as it did
months ago. The bonded debt bearing
Interest is as largo as It way then. There
have been no bond calls and the accumu
lated revenues applicable to real debt re
duction are steadily piling up in the
treasury. It is mure subterfuge to claim
that ho riling mo nuy in tlio same as the
payment of thu public debt. With aev-
qrol millions of dollars of interest , which
might bo cut off by a proper calling in of
bonds , constantly dramim ; money out of
the treasury , Mr. Manning's policy of
declining to call In the bonds and cut

Votctl Down.
Tlio proposition to eoll one-half of tlio
county poor farm was enowod tinder by
an overwhelming majority. Ourndrlco to
tlio citizens of Omaha wns very timely
nml ofloclivo. Tlio proposition , as sub-
milled to the voters , looked auspicious
on Its fncc ; nud tlio resolution passed by
the cotntnlssumers niado matters worses
instead of bettor. It loft the Impression
Hint the commissioners did not Intend to
foil the farm to the highest blddnr nt
public sale , but were llnblo lo dispose of
it to n syndicate of land speculators ,
The Ur.K first forced the resolution out of
the commissioners and when It found
tlwt the resolution was not suuh n one as
wns demanded In the interests of the
county , it soundnd the nlurm and urged
the people to rote it down.
In Its ofl'ort , it wns seconded by no
other paper. The Herald boldly advised
the pcoplo to vote for tlio poor farm sale
nnd the other papers didn't hnvo u word
to say. Fortunately , the HKK covers the
entire ground of nil parties und classes
of voters , nnd the result shows that its
appeal wns not unheeded , und its inllu-
once directed , In the fight olmnnol , nuulo
itself , foil.
Wo were by no menus adverse to the
sale of a purl of the poor farm under
proper conditions with safe-guards
against jobbery nml corrupt collusion.
It will do no harm , however , to kcup the
land for another year nnd when it ia tin-
ally disposed of to plat it with a view of
thu largest returns.
Now York.
The loss of Now York at this time , In
view of the lofty hopes which have been
raised of republican success is disap.
pointing nnd unexpected. The high
standard of the candidates nominated
by the republicans of tlio Empire state ,
the dissensions in the democratic party
and the return of the independents were
all factors which promised a dilTerotit re
sult. Instead of a republican victory ,
the dispatches tell the story of a demo
cratic triumph so overwhelming that it
takes Now York for some years to come
out of the list of doubtful states and
throws it into tlio balance with the solid
south as a political factor opposed to the
return of republican national supremacy.
It is no use lo miuco matters. New
York is naturally democratic nnd
with a largo lloating vote , inclined
to jump to the successful party ,
has east the weight of its decision for
the administration. The mugwumps
cut a small tiguro against the "heelers"
and oflico seekers to whom the party is
wortji nothing but its ability to furnish
patronage. The patronage , just now ,
is not coming in any very large amounts
from republican sources and the result
was a natural one.
Incidentally , tlio friends of Mr Clove-
laud can congratulate themselves over
tlio outcome. The buncombe that demo
cratic defeat would bo taken us nil en
dorsement of the administration was
taken for what it was worth. Whatever
the causes of the republican rout , the
democratic victory eau bo taken for
nothing but an endorsement of the presi
dent by his own state , and an
endorsement so heavy that thous
ands who voted last year for
Mr. Ulaino must have contributed to
secure it. It now remains to bo seen
whether New York republicans will re
tain their cohesion as a party , and wait
for the development of issues to add to
their strength. Tlio outlook is not en
tirely hopeless for the future , but it cer
tainly in discouraging. Tlio condition of
politics in the south has made Now York
the national battle ground in presiden
tial con testa nnd given it an importance
which it would not have without the sup
pression of the colored voto. The future
\vill show whether in 1833 , democratic
blunders and the gain of new blood will
more than make up for the barnacles
who have dropped from the republican
organisation and fastened themselves
with their votes to the democratic party.

' of "alow nnd
If Mr. Cleveland's policy
sure" , which ho has been steadily pursu
ing witli an occasional set-back , has dis
rupted his party , that result was not
made manifest in Tuesday's elections.
In his own state tlio indorsement of a
democratic victory was certainly em
phatic enough to Kiilt the most fastidious
partisan of tlio administration. In other
states which held elections , it is difficult
to find any returns which can be con
strued into a "rebuke" to the admin
istration , or evidence of democratic dis
integration. Unfortunately for republi
cans , the democracy appears to be in bet
ter health , notwithstanding tlio dismal
predictions of disappointed doctors who
have failed to secure nil they desire from
the executive department at Washing
ton.
ton.While"
While" republicans will do well to look
tin ) results of the Into elections fairly in
the face , there is no reason why the dis
heartened and feeble-hearted bhonld be
allowed to chant the death knoll of the
party. There are enough vital issues , if
they are only courageously pushed to the
front , to divide public sentiment on a
winning platform. The fact that the
democracy is entrenching itself in
power Is tlio best reason why the po
litical contest should bo made an aggressive -
sivo oUo , Dodging issues for fear of
losing votes will no longer bo the win
ning curd. Tlio votes are lost already
nml can only bo regained in n manly
contefct waged for important principles
which will attract the support of tlio lion-
enst and tulluentlal men of all parties.
So long us the republican party was the
the great moral ideas and not an organ
ization to maintain ollico-holdcrs in their
Bents , it won its victories steadily und
surely. Its degeneration began with the
close of reconstruction. It ought to end
with the defection from its ranks of tlio
plnco-huntors und political barnacles
who are now so vigorously swinging
their hats for thu democracy and the
new administration at Washington.
What republicanism needs most to-day is
a determination on the part of its rank
and Hie no less than on thu part of its
lenders to place themselves abreast of thu
demands of the people for greatly needed
reforms , Thu refusal of thu republican ad
ministration * in the past to listen to ami-
monopoly demands , nnd the exoelfout
record which the present administration
Is making In clean'ng out the land-grab
bers and bringing the land grant rail
roads to the onrd , may bo'rocommcutlcd
to the thoughtful , attention of the repub
lican party ns food for reflection. Let
the republican party ouco moro place It
self cm a platform of advanced ideas ,
backed by men whoso skirts nro free
from all Inlnt of political jobbery nnd it
will have more than n fighting chance lo
regain in the next election what it has
lost in that of 1SS4.
Koiuljto
Turkey is astonishing Kuropo by the
rapidity with which she has placed her
self In readiness to ciuel ! all assaults on
her territory. The wonderful vitality
shown by the "sick man of tlio east" dur
ing thu past month gives thu lie to tlio dis
paraging accounts of Turkey's feebleness
nnd causes the Inquiry whether Iho reports -
ports of her dismantled condition , both
as to purse and arms , are not Inspired by
those of her cncmlos whose interest it is
to deny the real strength of thu Mussul
man power. According to tlio last re
ports , 300,030 Turkish troops fully armed
and equipped nru now mustered on the
frontiers , while as many moro are
held In readiness to defend the interests
of the crescent wherever they may bo
menaced in the com ing struggle in the
llalkans. No ono who has read history
believes that the Turks are cowards. In
the last Uussla-Turkish war the Mussul-
men did what the combined hosts of
England , Trance , Sardinia and Turkey
did in tlio war of the Crimea Unit is to
say , fought the colossal Russian umpire
single-handed and held Constantinople
nt the end. The history of thu siege of
Plevna exhibits Turkish fortitude in a
light which will not brook criticism. The
porto is now ready to resume the eon-
lliet and is only anxious that Europe
shall not bo allowed to interfere so long
as the war is with his own subjects ,
Unfortunately for the sultan no
reopening of the Balkan problem
eau fail to array ultimately all the great
powers on one side or the other. Russia
is impatiently waiting to pass the fron
tier. Austria is peering towards Salouica
and England's eye Is bunt on the Dar
danelles as the gate to thu egress of
Russia's ambition eastward , while every
petty principality , from Macedonia and
Albania lo Bulgaria and Roumania , is
reaching out expectant arms to seize
some share of the spoils. Tlio dismem
berment of the Turkish umpire in Europe
is only a matter of time. But , when the
time comes , it will never be accom
plished without a bloody conflict in
which the Mussulmou courage , spurred
on by religious fanaticism , will make
itself once more felt against the Curistian
steel.
That Itiillroud Proposition.
The deliuito proposition for the new
railroad should bo promptly forthcoming
on the part of Mr. McShanc. Our people
are anxiously awaiting it. They are prepared -
pared to give it a cordial reception and a
respectful consideration. If it meets
their ideas as to what is demanded by the
best interests of this city , they are readv
lo exleud to it substantial aid. The fact
that Omaha has suffered in the past , from
profuse promises and meagre perform
ance on the part of railroad protujlor.s ,
will not be allowed to prejudice tlio now
enterprise if it is put on the proper foot-
ingto command miblio support. Omaha
wants a direct railroad connection with
the northwest which will enable her mer
chants to transact business with a coun
try from which thuv nro now
cut off. Our people are tired of enduring
fatal discriminations against their com
mercial interests. They will willingly
join in assisting any man or body of men ,
whoever they are , who will give them
guarantees that they will secure a road
such as they want and conducted on busi
ness methods , which will not militate
against thu interests of this city.
If wo have correctly sounded public
sentiment , the railroad which Omaha 'de
sires is one wiiicii will have Omaha for
its eastern terminus , and which will tap
the Elkhorn valley and the country to
the northwest. This rich and prosperous
section of tlio slate is now shut out from
our trade und given over to the tender
mercies of a Chicago corporation. Its
opening would mean hundreds of thou
sands in solid money every year to our
merchants and would give a homo mar
ket for the produce of the Elkhorn valley.
A railroad north and south into Dakota is
not what wo need or what is demanded.
In the second place , the people of Oma
ha , before voting a subsidy fora nuwline ,
will , wo think , insist that most definite
guarantees shall be given that thu inter
cuts of Omaha shall bo constantly felt In
its management. Whether this should bo
done by trusteeship or otherwise is a
question which will admit of discussion.
There are several ways in which it could
bo accomplished without an ownership
of bonds or stock by the county , which is
not allowable under our constitution. The
presence in the directory of Omaha men
who can , and will , voice the sontlmonU
of the community against every adverse
interest , is essential.
In conclusion , Oav.iha is anxious for the
proposed road , is prepared to hand
somely assist it , and only requires such
assurances for her furtherance of the
project an will make her citizens certain
that they will gut nt least the worth of
their money.

over twenty quarts daily are used. The
only advantage is that the cows will have
to oo kept in the barnyard and soiled ,
thereby effecting a greater saving of
manure.
Do not cover the lawn all over with
Btable manure which is to remain there
all whiter as an offense to tlio oyo. the
nostrils and the feet. There is nothing
more disgusting than this turninga lawn
into a barnyard , and there is no neces
sity for it. Stable manure is worth as
much for garden crops as it is for lawns ,
and it is doubtful if any one has too
much of it for the former purpose. A
good dressing of bone dust or ammoui-
utod superphosphate curly In Ihc spring
wjll keep up the fertility of the lawn and
will not be noticed.
A writer in the London Garden refer
ring lo the well known fact that now
seeds usually germinate moro quickly
than old onus , says that many ofil ones
will germinatnvell with heat that would
perish in cold ground a fact which
should be borne in mind by those who
are testing seeds this year in warm
rooms. Among those which may be kept
two season ! ' are named onions , salsify
and some others , while lettueo , tomatoes ,
and artichokes will continue three sea
sons , cabbage , turnips , spinach , kales ,
etc. , four seasons and melons , cnmcum-
berd and beets for live or six seasons.
The best iloor for a stable , says the
Rural Era , is one made of smooth stones

Hoer , well rammed down and filleil with
sand and hydraulic lime , cement , so as
to make a smooth surface. This is satur
ated with hot gas tar , and when dry
makes a hard , durable , smooth water

Turkeys should not bo confined to bo

By sowing a bushel of sat ] to the aero ,
a Fayetto county ( Missouri ) farmer be
lieves that ho has succeeded in keeping
his average of twenty-live bushels of
wheat to the acre maintained for
years.
Too much grain is often sown when
seeding and too little grass seed. These
are two common errors.
Grass grown on nutritious soil is often
ns good for horses or cattle us poorer
grass fed with grain rations.
Now is the best timp to mnlch apple

An Iowa correspondent of the Germantown -
town Telegraph describes the way in
which ho makes agate for occasional use
in a fence of barbed wire : The fanner
sometimes bus need of a gate in n barbed
wire fence , and which is used but sel
dom ; he must , nevertheless , ptitup a sub
stantial hinge or slide gate. 1 have seen
a good gatu put in a barbed wire fence
with very little trouble in this manner :
Build the fmico without reference to the
gate ; then select the location for the gate
and staple the wire securely to the two
gate posts so it cannot slip. Cut the
wires at one of the posts and fasten the
cndt to a light piece of wood as high as
the post. Sot ono end of this piece 'of
wood in a shallow hole beside the post
und place a wiru loop over it and the
post at the top , and your gate is finished.
It can bo opened in a moment and for
occasional use is as good as a hinge gatu.
Thorp are several rcaso..s for butter
becoming strong. Among them are : Us
ing pails ami pans that are not thor
oughly cleansed from slalo milk ; setting
llio milk in damp , badly ventilated cel
lars or milk hotisos ; keeping the milk lee
long , until itgeu very sour ; keeping the
cream lee long ; churning too slowly , erin
in an unclean clu.rn ; not taking all the
buttermilk out of the butter ; keeping tlio
butter in a warm , badly aired or moldy
place ; these all cause thu butter to be
come strong , which in the ulft.'ot of de
composition in it. The tqod or water of
the cow will also cause this trouble.
Kuoh lien in a house should have one

Winter Fodder I-'or Milch Cows.
Tlio hay , which constitutes tlio groa
bulk of winter feed , is cut altogether too
late. Dairymun wait for a bulk of fodder
dor Hint will fill llioir mows and foe
heavy lo handle. They wait till the ricl
juices of the grasses have melted away
thn high color and llavor of their faU
have become pale and insipid , and tlioii
starch , gum and sug".r changed into
woody fibre. With this they hll their
barns and are satisfied. To make milk
ing in winter profitable the cows must
have food wliien is either green or sue
citlont , or which was cut or dried in a
green stage , so that it nhall bo not onh
rich in the elements of milk , but be 8f
easy of digestion that enough can be
digested to support tlio bodies of the
cow's and hnvo something loft to make
milk of. Hay , as generally cut , is so
scanty in available nittrition.'and digests
so slowly nnd imperfectly , that cows
can only use enough of it , though they
keep constantly full , to do no more than
supply waste. If thovcivo milk it will
bo at the expense of their stock of llesh
and fat.
The Critical Season fop JAvo Stock.
From now until boasts are fully settled
upon their dry winter feed is the most
critical season of the year for all kinds
of livestock , excepting , if any , the sea
son of dropping theiryoimg. Cattle will
fail to to get suitable nourishment from
frost-bitten grass , and colts exposed to
cold storms sutler temporarily , to say the
least. Many an old sheep , and some
times poorly bred voungor ones are
"struck with death1 after pasturing
time is "out. " Especially is this true
with sheep bred with long , loose wool ,
which will part on the back when wet by
.storms. A shed open on the sunny side
only is butter protection from storms
than a tight barn , and a chance in low ,
thick evergreen trees is much bettor than
no shelter at all. A few oats tend to
keep quiet as well ns to hold the flesh.
Tolopliono Conversations ns Evidence
New York Herald : The admission a.s
evidence of the conversation by tele
phone between Fish and Ward was ob
jected to by the defence in the Ward
trial , but the objection was properly , as
we think , overruled by Judge Barrett.
Testimony of this kind is as yet novel ,
but doubtless it is destined to become as
common in court as evidence of thu
ordinary kind. The telephone has , to a
largo extent , done away with face to faces
conversations , in business matters und
also communications by letter. It must
often become necessary or important to
show what is communicated through thu
telephone , and there is no reason why
such communications should not be
proved in cither civil or criminal tried.
In a recent case the Supreme Court of
Kentucky held that a contract between
two ucrsons might be made by telephonic
communication , and that it was perfect
ly proper to prove in court what the
parties said to eacli other through the
telephone. "It is true , " the Court re
marked , "that in communicating by
telephone the parties cannot see cacn
other. But the same is equally true of
the blind. By tulcphoncio means persons
are as much together for all purposes of
conversation and actors in what may bo
occurring as if they vwcro immediately
present with each-other. "
"Hello ! " wo hoard one man sny to an
other , the other day. "I didn't know
you at first , why ! you look tun years

"You know how 1 used to bo under the
woalher all the time and gave up expecting -
ing to bo nuy better. The doctor said I
had consumption. I was terribly weak ,
had night-HWeatH , cough , no appetite ,
and lost Mush. I saw Dr. I'iorco's 'Golden
Medical Discovery' advertised , and
thought it would do no harm if it did no
good. It has cured nit ; . I am anew

How Voictaljlc nro Wintered.
1'rairio Farmer : Only a few vegetables
can bo wintered out-doors in tlio north

the exceptional vegetables which the

is of similar natiiru , but lieotM , turnips

to retain tlio fresh , crisp llavor they
should bo taken up an lutoas j > ossiblo and
placed in a cool collar , or in pitH , with
earth and straw enough oyor them to
prevent freu/.iug. The luttur is the mi.lh-
oil most in vogue with market gardeners ,
who usually know how best to present ,
their vegetables in the finest condition.
Artificial heat in any form spoils the lla

MODJESKA'S FIRST CHANGS ,
It Wim Denied Her , IJut Krlemls Took
Up Her CIUINO.
Chicago Herald : "It amused mo"said
an old California ! ! the other night , "to
see how Modjeska has caught ou lo the
American public. She is a good woman.
Not a newspaper that doesn't know her
art ; yet her success shows how slupid
some managers are
"Seven years ago a lilllo woman oimo
up from 1.0.1 Angeles , California , to San
Irauei.sco and met Barton Hill , who waa
then at the head of the California Tht a-
tor. Shu told him who she was. She
said : ' 1 now think lean splk Engliiso. '
Uill was a man who always had uu eya
for a pretty woman. Modjeskn was nrt
especially pretty , but she knew ; her nit ,
and she tried to impress him with thai.
A tradilionof the old Calif jrnia Theater ,
and it is one that must always bespoken
spoken of softly , was that the main
actors must win their applause , n "t
the female actors must get their fi m
the manager. McCuilough had Je i.
Barton Hill was running the theater.
Mine. Modjcsku , t'morotii ' as nnlv ' - - \
can be , appr a I ed Mr. Hill. It took a
wuek or moro to .seenru for her a lieu. iu > .
Then he said : 'Madame. , what can jou
do ? ' She ollcrcd to give him roadiiigH.
He refused. Then she told him moro of
whom she had been in Hungary and at
Vicuna. Her face was not quite pretty
enough to suit Hill's purpose , and ho re
jected her. Then she found some
friend who went to Mr. Hill ono
day and askedVhy : cannot the
Polish lady from Los Angeles get
a hearing'I know iiothmi ;
about her , ' sal I Air. Hill. 'Well , I know
about you , my friend. I want you to
give that lady the California Theater for
a Sunday night , d'yo understand. You
mav share or not as you choose. Wo
will hire the theater , if you iiifciat , 'but '
remember that woman plays in that
theater on her chosen night or Wakeleo
and myself will throw you out of the
building. ' Poor Hill wandered about ,
but ho nnallygavo the lady a chance.
She played "Adrionnu Lecouvrour. " The
best of critics , some of them on loading
dailies , declared it was the best perform
ance ever given in America. The town
rang with it. Hurry Sargent , then in
San Francisco and Knowing Hill , wns
around at Modjoska's rooms be'oro day
light next morning to got a contract. He
got it. The papers helped him out. Sar
gent made $ ir > , OiW out of the lady tin t
season , and Barton Hill got the rent < f
the theater for that night. Mine. Mod *
joska is now rich in purse and fame.
1'oor Barton Hill ran away from his wife
and family in San Francisco , went to
the West Indies , and is now , at the ngo
of fifty , living on a clerkship or some
thing and with another woman. So goes
