Ex - Govener Lewelling, of Kansas, has been appointed Railroad Commissioner. The Oregon legislature is suffering a, deadlock owing to its inability to select a speaker. Masterworkman Sovereign is speaking throughout tjie Northwest to delighted audiences. Postmaster Hesing of Chicago, Democrat, is an ardent advocate of the Postal Savings Bank. Populist Hargrave was seated in the State Senate of Washington versus the republican contestant. The Arbuckle - Havermeyer coffee war goes merrily on. Let the trusts u roast” one another—the people can stand it. Thatcher, Populist, candidate for United States Senator in Ut&h, has not yet been elected but his chances are good. John W. Bredenthal, after* a most successful and effective term, has decided to resign as State Chairman of the committee in Kansas. In last week’s editorial by a typographical error we were made to say that the vote for Senator Teller stood “61 against,” when it should have been “six against.” A Colorado man speaks out in meeting and says that the people of that state have about as much faith in Wolcott’s bimetallic mission doing anything for silver as they have in its “building a trolloy system to the New Jerusalem.” Heitfelt, Populist, was elected in Idaho, over Dubois. He is a farmer, a native of St. Louis, and lived for many years in Kansas. He is a capable wellbalanced man and much is expected of him. The republican legislature of Illinois returning a vote of thanks to the Populists legislature of Nebraska for aid extended the starving poor of Chicago, is the solitary instance of an exchange of amenities between the two elements. J. A, Edgerton. Secretary of the People’s Party National committee, has written a call for a National conference to be held at Kansas City, Mo., Feb. 23, and forwarded it to National Chart man Butler, urging him to issue same. The N. R. P. A. will convene there the 22nd of Feb. The following is an excerpt from the Illustrated Amercian, a notorious gold-bug organ: 44 The essential principals of Populism were never more vigorous, They are the decisive issues in the mighty struggle for which we are now crystalizing the opposing forces of the nation.” Right! It is about settled that Chauncey Depew is to grace the court of St. James during McKinley’s misrule. Hanna has sent him a telegram saying, .“Canton would

like to appoint you to England.” We can spare him, and Willie Wallie Astor and other refugees from American wit will be proud of their one-time countryman. Some light is being thrown on the much talked of Arbitration Treaty. It seems that its acceptance by England will insure her control, if not absolute ownership, of the Nicaraugua Canal, which has been coveted by her singularly acquisitive sons since the inception of the great plan. Several states have acted upon the hint carelessly dropped by that prince of trust defenders, Grover Cleveland, in his message, as to the possibility of their dealings with those hitherto uncontrolled robbers, the trusts. Georgia’s law has gone into effect. New Jersey is framing one and even trust-ridden, New York is beginning to bestire itself on this point. Legislation on this point is pending in Alabama, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Indiana, Utah and Minnesota.

Theßradley-Martin mask ball, the unprecedented number of the unemployed and their terrible sufferings during the severe weather, have precipitated a serious discussion among the leading ministers of New York city. Those who have dared to tell their wealthy flock that a critidal condition Exists, owing to the unequal distribution of wealth, will doubtless have to come west soon for a more sympathetic audience. Some of thesq men have taken a truly Christian stand on this matter. One Rev. (?) Thomas Dixon (whom we regret to thus much advertise) said, “If I owned $1,000,000 and the public should attempt to dictate to me how I should spend it, I should say as a certain member of the Vanderbilt family, ‘l’he people be damned.,’ ” Straws show the trend of the wind and the fact that the revelers at this great debauch are to dress in the style that anti-dated the French Revolution, that the decorations and dances are to be in accord, is not without meaning to thoughtful minds. At this juncture of our history political and social events are so closely interwoven that it is impossible to separate them. Populist teachings have made politics more a matter of social science and less a matter of office holding. McKinley is out with a card denying that he wrote the much commented upon letter begging that the fifty thousand dollars set aside for the inaugural ball should be spent relieving the sufferers in our great cities and the Armenian and Indian victims. From what source this extraordinary bit of forgery eminated is not yet stated. Many will regret that the incoming president should hasten to clear himself from the suspicion of not being entirely in sympathy with the richest rich. Cornelius Vanderbilt, who was the largest single contributor- to the Hanna campaign fund, has rented a palace at Washington, D. C., and his example will be followed by several others of New York’s rich men. The capital is, of course, overjoyed at this acquisition. 1 Mr. McKinley proposes, as a sop to Wall street, and to make partial amends for the appointment of Gage, to establish a Department of Commerce and Trade and put a New Yorker at its head. Apropos of Gage’s appointment it is said that Europe began buying American stocks Janurary 26, as a result of the security it felt was thus assured. Gage, it is said, with a regard for the eternal fitness of things seldom found iu a national banker, wears a golden wig. * Constipation in its worst forms, dyspepsia, sick headache, billiousness and derangement of the liver are readLy cured by DeWitt’s Little Early Risers.

Turkeys.

Turkeys are more profitable than bogs and are about as easy to raise. The demand for them is always good and the market is never so overstocked that prices fall low for any length of time. If turkeys are given good care and looked after until they are four or five weeks old they will take care of themselves after that, only requiring plenty of food to promote growth and keep them at the highest point of thrift. There is a notion abroad that turkeys are delicate and hard to bring through the perils of infancy. This is only true when a fiock has been inbred until its stamina is injured and its vitality run down to the danger point. In breeding turkeys new blood should be introduced every year and care should be taken that the new blood is from vigorous stock. Another mistake is in breeding year after year from yearold hens. The custom of selling off the old hens because they are a little heavier than the pullets of the previous season is a most reprehensible one, as young turkeys from pullet’s eggs are never as hardy as those hatched from the eggs of mature hens. Turkey hens should be kept until four or five years old, as they continue to produce eggs for several years. It is best to use a young tom on old liens than to keep the old tom and breed pullets to him. There are several breeds of turkeys of white, the bronze variety is the most numerous and most popular. For a few years the white Holland has been growing in favor because of its domestic habits and the fine quality of its flesh. The advantage of the bronze is in its rapid growth and the great weight to which it attains the first season but this is offset by its wandering habits. The white variety is much sought after in some markets by housekeepers who do not care for a very large roast but are particular about the appearance and quality of the food they place on their table. A flock of turkeys may be fattened on corn alone and will become very fat and juicy if fed all they will eat for a few days before they are sent to market. They are great insect hunters and will keep a farm clear of grasshoppers when all other means fail. We have known one man to sell over S4OO worth of turkeys in one season which had been reared principally on grasshoppers on his own and his neighbors’ farms. One year when the ’hoppers were particularly bad the neighbors were very glad to have a. thousand turkeys run over their meadows and through their corn fields.—Farmer’s Voice.

The Battleship Indiana

When a great battleship was named Indiana; the bosom of Hoosierdom swelled with pride. We would back her in a fight with the British navy, with that same loyalty and- devotion we would give a< home horse in a race. Butalfis! there comes the sad news that the Indiana started out yisterday and as soon as she was out of sight of land she became ;ea-sick and had to be taken home. She acted just the same as any other Hoosier would do on a ;ea voyage. It is hoped that the pride of the state will be doctered and nursed back to health and coached as a war vessel shou d be. The state is still loyal to he-, but is, nevertheless, somewhat ashamed of her exhibition, whic.i was unbecoming to a lady of high rank.

Effects of Changing Feed.

Tljie rough, staring coat of calvfes arid colts their first winter is ajwayes due to troubles of digestion from changing suddenly from succulent to dry feed. Butj a part is also due to drinking too little water, because the water in winter is always cold. If water for young animals be warmed to a temperature near that of animal heat, they will drink more freely, and their food will digest instead if remaining in the stomach, breeding fevers aud disease. Do away with constipation in young stock, and most Of the difficulty in keeping them thrifty will be overcome.— Old Kentucky Farm.

A writer in one of our agricultural exchanges, in speaking of the best time to sow clover seed, says:—Select a calm morning when the ground is frozen solid enough to hold a person up, and when it is likely to thaw during the day, from my experience, the best time is any time from the middle of February to the middle of March, when the conditions are favorable. If sown’ when it is freezing and thawing, it works the seed into the ground so that the wind cannot blow the seed away, and it does not come up soon and is not as lialbe to be injured by late freezing as when sown later. It also stands the dry weather of May and June much better. My rule is to sow a bushel of clover seed to eight acres, and in seventeen years experience have never failed to get a good stand.—Ex.

Two Silver Champions.

Doubtless many of our readers, who appreciate the importance of the restoration of the bimetallic standard, would like to subscribe for and support a farm paper which while unsurpassed in its agricultural, household and other departments, at the same time has been the leading exponent of the bimetallic principle of finance. With a view to supplying this want, we have made a liberal clubbing arrangement with the Farm, Field and Fireside of Chicago. For many years this great paper has been pointing out to the farmers that low prices were the result of a contraction of standard money to the gold basis and urging them as a patriotic duty oj self defense to vote for the restoration of silver. So effective has been its work, especially during the late campaign, that Chairman Jones acknowledged to Wm. J. Bryan that it had done more towards the restoration of bimetallism than any other single agency. As will be seen by our combination offer on another page, we can give this paper in combination with the People’s Pilot, both one year, for the low price of $1.60. This offer also includes twenty packets of the best seeds in the market from the Farm, Field and Fireside's free seed distribution, where 10 cents extra is paid for postage and packing. The Farm, Field and Fireside and the People’s Pilot are two papers which Mark Hanna’s boodle could not influence in the late campaign.
