TWO THINGS WE NEED. Nothing has been more astonishing and gratifying than the way in which, "within a comparatively short time, the poultry packjpfc industry hue grown to large proportions here in Terre Haute. It has been a great benefit to oar city in many ways. But it has been of even {greater benefit to the industrious farming oommunity which surrounds us and the prosperity of which the city is vitally interested. Poultry raising has

way on the farm, or rather been per' mitted to carry itself on, with such irregular assibtance as the young people might afford. For the most part the product has been consumed at home and little found its way to town. But with a certain reliable and all-the-year round market, such as these packing establishments afford, as much atten* tion is now being paid to it as to raising hogs for the market. Of the two things the poultry is much the more profitable and is especially adapted to those whese holdings of land are small. Besides, the raising of poultry do^tails, so to -apeak, into the other work on the farm can be attended to at odd times and up to a certain point on every farm without the consumption of anything whioh would not otherwise go to waste and be tost. The fowls take care of themselves and feed on the bugs and worms which it is desirable to )e rid of and the removal of which is a matter of congratulation.

The sucoess of poultry packing here and the benefit it is not only to the town but to the country also suggests the desirability of the establishment here in our midst of two other industries which would prove beneficial to all concerned and which ought to be profitable. The industries to whioh allusion is made are a creamery and a fruit and vegetable packing establishment Both would find qt once plenty of milk and fruit and vegetables to start them and the market thus afforded for those products of the farm and garden would soon stimulate and increasing production sufficient to' ensure a steady supply at reasonable figures. No better ground is to be found anywhere for gardening purposes than that surrounding Terre Haute. It is too vaTuable to make general farming profitable, but not at all so for ggrdening where the labor of the husbaadman ie so mush more important than in the farm, where the field per acre represents so much more money and when the proximity to the town would make it easy to deliver once or even twice a day fresh fruit and vegetables at the oannery.

Within the past few years a great impetus has been given here in Vigo county to the improvement of the breeds of cattle. There are now .in the country more and a better class of cattle than ever before. Reforms do not go backward year by year, and it is to be hoped rapidly, this improvement will go on. It means more and better milk. To be sure this can be made into butter on the farm as it has always been. But it can be more satisfactorialy made into butter and cheese in a carefully equipped creamery. With all the modern applianoes of such an establishment, which it would be difficult and expen

sive to have on every .tana* wth,carefuj jrc* .attention jfco ^Pi^t^^|jj|^^ihei de*f* »«W tails of the business a uniformly article of gutter can be produced than the average on tbe! farm. ,These two establishment are needed

de*

Terre Haute. It is strange we have not had them for years Another year ought not to go by without them. Profit would be found here by the owners and operators, if it could be found anywhere, and there is no sort of doubt.abput^ the benefit they would be' to both townand country.

MRS. LOGAN,

widow of the late Gen

eral John A. Logan, is quoted as asking her friends not to agitate the question of a pension on her behalf as she has a competency. This is very proper and praisworthy conduct on her part. Pension money is not desirable money for one to have who can do without it and whose claims to it, especially, are donbtfuL Preservation of a healthy pride is worth all and more than most are ^willing to pay for it.

"'^PRESIDENT CLEVELAND-

An Interview With Him by a New York Herald Correspondent. NEW YORK, April 5.—The Washington correspondent of the Herald sends the following aocount of an interview he had with the President yesterday.

I said to the President Mr. Cleveland, there seems to be a good deal of interest in this land question just now." "Yes," was his quick answer, "and very properly, I think. It is one of the live questions of the day, and certainly one of the most important" '•The railroad corporations appear to be somewhat greedy," I suggested. "Well," he said, "a railroad corporation should have its legal rights, no more, no less. But the people should have their rights also. When a real settler—I don't mean a mere land speculator, but a farmer who builds his little house and sets abont the improvement of the acres on Whioh ho has settled—when such a man has legally taken possession of his 160 acres he ought to feel that the government is behind him. He has aright to feel that way, and, so far as this administration is concerned, it is clearly the friend of the people. While, as a matter of course, the administration will proteot the lawful rights of a corporation as well as those of the people, Btill I think it should be speoially jealous of the rights of'the farmers and the working classes. I will go even further than that, and say that if by any construction of the law a seeming injustice is done to the hum* blest farmer in the future then the law ought to be ohanged and ohanged at once* Jam for the people I believe in the people, and I stand by them and with them—first, last and all the time."

SULLIVAN AND CLEVELAND.

1 lie 'Pugilist Sees and Prescribes Turkish Baths for the President.

WASHINGTON, D. 0., April 5.—The president shook hands with John L. Sullivan yesterday afternoon and held brief conversation with the famous knocker-out and his manager, Mr. Pat Sheedy. Abo# three hundred people had already been greeted by the president when Mr. Sheedy approached and said: "Mr. President, I want to introduce Mr. Sullivan, who is anxious to have the honor of

Bhaking

While standing on the portico of the White House waiting for a carriage to drive up, Sullivan, brawny, and clearskinned, said to a representative of the United Press: "There's one thing the President ought to have, and that is a course of Turkish baths. Give him a line of them for a couple of months and a good rubbing down two or three times a week and he'd be a new man, and I know it. So long, Fm going for a bit of a ride, ee you tonight at the show."

FABRINGTON, 111., April 6.— [GAZETTE special.] -It seems that the following item-was unintentionally omitted last week: James Elliott, has sold his fine farm of fiv* hundred and fifty-one acres to Messrs. Baber and Eads, »f Paris.

He intends to become a permanent resident of some western country and will most likely settle in the golden state. Mrs. Elliott will remain here with her ohildren for the present. W. H. Crowther was selected by the purchasers to superintend the farm, and he will move there and assume charge of the place about the 15th inst.

'Tm glad to meet Mr. Sullivau," said the President with a smile, as he glanced admiringly at him. "He's not as large a man as I expected to see, but I think I'll try and cure myself."
