Correspondence.

FROM WASHINGTON. An Interesting Cuicii of Xews From f lic Capitol. From our Regular Correspondent. Washington, Feb. 9, '94. It should not require any argument to cod vince a patriotic American that matters dealing with the foreign policy of the government should never be made partisan political questions in congress. But hot-headed men on both sides did that very thing with the Hawaiin question in the house and the result, as might have been expected, was a rigid drawing of party lines and the adoption of a resolution that can hardly be satisfactory to anybody, although some people consider it an endorsement of President Cleveland's policy. It is not probable that Mr. Cleveland feels proud of such an endorsement. It condemns Minister Stevens in unmeasured terms for his alleged interference with a friendly government, but ignores the interference of Minister Willis with another friendly government. In fact, it was the opinion of conservative people, that it would have been better for the house to have allowed the Senate to have taken the iniative step, as its foreign committee will in a lev/ days make a report on its investigation, now completed. If there were no hot-heads in congress the proceedings would not be so lively, but the legislation would be ■wiser. • o • Mr. Bland s bni for the coinare of the seigniorage in the Treasury is now before the house, and it looks as though it was going to revive some of the features of the silver contest at the pvtra session. Secretary Carlisle had been quoted as favoring the bill conditionally, bu‘ when the condition became known it was not satisfactory to the friends of the bill. He want ed to strike out that portion oi the bill making the coinage compulsory, leaving it discretionary with the Secretary of the Treasury. Mr. Bland was willing to compromise to the extent of only issuing the silver certificates as fast as the silver is coined, instead of all at once; but that is as far as he will go. The antisilver men are refusing to vote to make a quorum, in order to prevent consideration of the bill. © 6 0 J7ot even the importance of the tariff and of the financial situation could prevent the contest that is now on between President Cleveland and Senator Hill, over the confirmation of the nomination of Mr. Peckham, of New York, to the vacant seat on the Supreme Court, occupying a conspiuous place in congressional gossip. One hour it is stated that Mr. Cleveland will win and the next that Hill will have a walk-over. There is one thing certain. Up to the last meeting of the committee when the matter was postponed until next Monday Mr. Hill had the best of it. He has been willing at either of the three meetings held to take a vote, but those favoring confirmation, were afraid and asked for postponement. It may be true, as charged by some, that President Cleveland is making overtures to certain senators of his party with whom he has had no intercourse for many months, but it is absolutely certain that Mr. Cleveland’s friends have been trying to bring about a reconciliation between him and those senators. There may be no connection between those efforts and the nomination of John R. Walker, a brother-in-law of Senator Cockrell, to be U. S. Attorney, and of General O. Shelby, who is a warm friend of Senator Vest, to be U. S. Marshall for the western district of Missouri, but when it is remembered that the Missouri senators had been ignored in making previous appointments and that they had been counted upon to vote against Peckkam's confirmation, as they did against Hornblower, these nominations become significant. It is not believed that the votes of either of thqse senators <saa be influenced by such methods. © 9 © □ The refusal of the senate committee on finance to grant hearings on the tariff has raised quite a rumpus among those who wished to be heard and the republicans in the senate, but inasmuch as these hearings never change any votes and that the tariff is wrongly construed to be a partisan political question, the refusal cannot be regarded as a

public misfortune, as it will shorten the time that the tariff will be before the senate by several weeks, and it cannot be made too short for those who are more interested in seeing the matter settled than in any particular duty. No matter how much a man may oppose a change when he knows that it is going to be made eventually he wants it done as soon as possible in order that he may know just what it is. From every quarter, requests for prompt action are pouring in on the senate. • © • No excitement and but little interest attended the passing of the bill for the repeal of the federal election laws, by the senate. Not a dozen senators have shown any real inteiest in the debate on the bill. It seemed to be passed more because it was a party measure of the majority than because anybody was particularly interested in seeing it done. ,•99 Moody and Sanky began a series of revival meetings here this week, and although they have the largest hall in the city, with accommodations for about 8,000 people, they are turning away thousands every night.

Elf/in Board of Trade.

We copy from the secretary’s report for 1893, the following interesting figures and facts: The number of cows represented by the Elgin Board of Trade district, is 214,000. The number of pounds of butter sold in 1893, was 30,986,525; cheese, 6,361,793 pounds. Cash value of butter, £8,056,496.50; cheese, £372,561.37. This gives an average income of £40.32 per head. The average price for butter was 36 cents; cheese, 9 cents. The average price for 20 years: Butter, 285- cents; cheese 8j- cents. Number of factories represented on the Board, 358.

Pro and Con.

People generally look upon a dull market with fearful forebodings. 4 This is natural, as low prices mean low revenue and affects all tradesmen as well as the farmer. The dairyman at this time of the year expects high prices for butter and lakes extra care of his cows. If lie does not realize a corresponding income in return, is apt to curtail the feed on the ground that it won’t pay. This is a mistake. To curtail feed now, will only lessen the profits when prices for butter improve. Whenever you allow your cows to shrink in ftesh aud tnilk, you are doing them a permanent injury.

A Bull Market.

Undoubtedly, there is less butter used now than common, on account of so many people being out of employment, but there are other causes that exist. One is the manufacture and sale of oleomargarine. According to the official figures of the revenue department, there was manufactured in 1893, 67,-000,909 pounds. That means a displacement of just that amount of genuine butter. It takes the place of 440,666 dairy cows. If you allow 15 cows to the herd it draws out of employ ment 20,777 farme rs.

Prepared For the Summer.

The cold storage is filled with ice to the ceiling, packed in thoroughly, making a block 27x21x20. Calling 45 cubic so-u a ton, there is not less than 250 tons. The ice house proper is also filled in good suapo, uuiUmy about 89 tons. This, if it keeps well, will last until ice comes again, but it is a question to be decided by trial as to its keeping qualtities, the ice being overlaid with frozen snow to the depth of three or four inches.

Amend the Rules.

It would be well for the stockholders of the creamery to amend their rules, so that it would require the board to meet at least four times a year under some kind of compulsion, and compensate them for time lost. The business is of too much importance to be neglected in the the way it is. It can be made a success, if the board will take hold cf it in the right way. Where in the entire animated creation can man find as useful an animal as the cow? As soon as a calf is born, it becomes of value and can be sold as readily as any product on the market. The shipping of veal calves is quite an important traffic in this vicinity at present. After the cow has attained the proper age for milking, she is a sure breadwinner and gives her owner a continual source of income. Taking capital invested into consideration, there is probably not another investment wnich a man could make that., warn'd yield the per cent, and be as certain of obtaining trio protit. | It is what we would ml! a Pro; ••snap." Even after the bovine| becomes old she is of value as meat; and her nuie and oones are sold as a last resource. We have appointed Simon Fendig as our authorized agent at Wheatfield, and any order for job printing, advertising or subscription will be attended to at the same price we furnish it at i here. Give him your orders.
