Saturday, January 28, 1888. 
The Mexican Presidential campaign is un¬ 
der full way. Gen. Diaz is far ahead at pres¬ 
ent. Gen. Escobedo appears to receive only 
slim support. The'general impression is that 
Diaz has made so many reforms during the 
first three years of his present term, and has 
so many more in contemplation that he ought 
to he given a chance to carry them out. The 
Clerical Party has as yet put up no candidate 
against him. The election takes place in June. 
The term is for four years, and begins on De¬ 
cember 1.An explosion of gas or 
choke damp in the Wellington Colliery near 
Victoi ia. British Columbia, Tuesday, killed 
HO miners—whites' and Chinese, mostly the 
former—and wounded many more. How the 
explosion took place is still a mystery. 
Happy Medium, the most celebrated trotting 
stallion in the world, valued at $40,000, died 
Wednesday at Fairlawn Farm near Lexing¬ 
ton. Kentucky, of spinal meningitis aged 25. 
He was the property of Gen. W. T. Withers, 
and was the sire of 80 horses in the 2:30 list. 
His son. Maxey Cobb, has the best stallion 
record 2:13%. ’Last year Mr. Withers’s sales 
of the equine progeny of his farm amounted 
to $66,350.There is an 
imported Chinese little horse on exhibition in 
this city now. It appears full-grown and is 
perfectly shaped. It stands 35 inches high 
and weighs 78 pounds. It is named “Baby 
Bunting.” is four years old and a stallion. 
.... At Milan, Mo., a tramp was sold by pub¬ 
lic auction into slavery for six months for 35 
cents last, Wednesday. The sale relieves the 
county of the expense of keeping the vaga¬ 
bond. and, of course, he can escape whenever 
he pleases.•.. Henry Merritts, of Hender¬ 
son Township, Huntington, Fa., had saved 
$4 000 by lumbering, and secreted it in his 
dwelling. Three masked robbers bound and 
gauged him Wednesday night, and to extort a 
confession, held his bare feet over the fire and 
otherwise maltreated him in a shocking man¬ 
ner. When he became unconscious they left 
with $1,500 they had found in a flour sack. 
The rest of his hoard was buried near 
the house. He will probably die. A severe 
specimen of many recent outrages. The 
trade and navigation returns of the Dominion 
for the fiscal year, distributed Thursday, show 
a most satisfactory increase in the volume of 
business, the total amount of exports being 
$89,515,811. and of imports $112,892,230, show¬ 
ing an increase over last year of $4,324,497 
in the former, and $8,467,675 in the latter, a 
totai increase of $12,792,172, the largest in one 
year since 1882.James W. Sykes, until 
recently a well-known seed merchant and pro¬ 
prietor of a large warehouse in Chicago, is on 
trial for having fraudulently obtained SI 10,* 
000 from the Merchants’ Loan and Trust Com- 
pau y. The Pure Food Convention, 
which met in Washington, D. C., last week, 
took strong ground against adulteration of all 
kinds, and prepared a bill whose enactment is 
to be urged upon Congress. An effort to con¬ 
demn oleomargarine and cotton-seed oil lard 
by resolution failed; hence it is to be inferred 
that the work of the convention will aid farm¬ 
ers to only a limited extent.Charles 
O’Brien and bookkeeper Elmer E. Morse, of 
the First National Bank, of Auburn, N. Y., 
have skipped to Canada. Probable shortage 
in the bauk funds, $200,000- Isaac. N. 
Stanley, who was paying teller of the Nation¬ 
al Bank of Commerce, Cleveland, embezzled 
$100,000 of the bank’s funds in 1886, but lost 
the money in wheat speculations, was sen¬ 
tenced last Wednesday to 5 years in the Ohio 
penitentiary.Mrs. Eliza Ballou Garfield, 
mother of President Garfield, died at five 
o’clock last Saturday morniug (June 21) at the 
Garfield family home at Mentor, 30 miles 
west of Cleveland, Ohio, at the age of 88. She 
had been a widow 55 years, was universally 
known as “Grandma,” and died of old age and 
sorrow for her son.The Grant Monu¬ 
ment Association, which has had a nice long 
nap, roused up enough, Wednesday, to resolve 
to obtain plans for a “memorial structure,” 
to c#st $500,000. The members are confident 
they can raise money enough to complete it: 
but they are sure to apply to Congress finally 
for most of the balance still lacking—nearly 
$375,000.... Governor Luce, of Michigan, 
says that there are many important measures 
that he would like to undertake, butbe hasn’t 
time because, owing to bis small salary, he 
has to do other things. It is said that he has 
to groom his own horse. His salary is $1,000. 
... Ex-Governor Alger.of Michigan, is said to 
own over 100 square miles of forest land near 
Alpena, bearing 500,000,000 feet of standing 
pine timber.The Supreme Court of the 
United States has refused to interfere with 
the judgment of the lower Court in the case of 
Maxwell, who is under sentence of death at 
St. Louis, for the murder of Arthur Preller 
in 1885. At last he is certain to hang before 
long.During 1887 11% tons of postage 
stamps—nearly 170,000,000 in number—were 
sold at the New York Post Office. The total 
receipts of the office were $4,598,392, and the 
profit to the Govern ment was nearly $3,000,000. 
_The estate of Thaddeus Stevens, consist¬ 
ing of 1,200 acres of valuable timber and min¬ 
ing land in Franklin and Adams Counties, 
Pennsylvania, has been sold to a syndicate 
and its resources will be developed immedi¬ 
ately.The Senate has passed a bill 
giving a pension of $2,500 a year to the wid¬ 
ows of Generals John A. Logan and Frank P. 
Blair... ..James J. West, who recently 
purchased the controlling interest in the Chi¬ 
cago Times, is under 30 years of age, and is 
said to have amassed $600,000 within six 
years. Seven years ago he entered a publish¬ 
ing bouse in Chicago as a clerk at eight dol¬ 
lars a week; at the end of the third year he 
bought a fourth interest in the concern for 
$66,500 .Owing to the great number 
of fires of late in Montreal, Canada, the fire 
insurance companies have threatened to can¬ 
cel all policies unless the fire brigade is ren¬ 
dered more efficient. They will also probably 
raise the rates 40 per cent. The population of 
the city is over 200 , 000 , but there are only.80 
officers and men in the brigade.In 
retaliation for the fight made by temperance 
people in Leeds County, Ontario, Canada, 
lately, 11 buildings were burnt at Irish Creek; 
the Methodist Church and a tannery were 
burnt at Kemptville, and five constables, a 
clergyman and several others were stoned and 
otherwise maltreated. Three of the offenders 
have been sent to the penitentiary and the 
assailants of the constables have been fined 
$800. In several places in this country also 
the temperance crusade has led to much dam¬ 
age to property and a good deal of violence to 
persons. Both sides have been guilty; but, of 
course, in that line the rumsellers are easily 
ahead .. 
_Premier Norquay’s Government has been 
forced to resign in Manatoba, and its suc¬ 
cessor Premier Green way’sGoverninent charg¬ 
es that its predecessor misappropriated or 
missused $500,000 of the public funds, besides 
making a corrupt land assignment to the 
Canada Pacific Railroad. The Norquay Cab¬ 
inet members drew their own salaries to Feb. 
1, and left nothing in the Treasury, Much 
indignation and discouragement in the Prov¬ 
ence.Accounts of more deaths from 
the severe weather continue to come from the 
West and especially the Northwest. Fuel 
disastrously scarce. In many places as many 
neighbors as possible have to huddle together 
in one room to keep from freezing. Coal cars 
are siezed on the various roads and the coals 
appropriated. Several railroad depots have 
been tom down for fire, aud some private 
buildings have been cremated. The cold still 
continues extremely severe.New Eng¬ 
land had the coldest spell “ever known” dur¬ 
ing the past week. Indeed the cold has been 
intense all over the North. Snows heavy, 
railroads blockaded,and passenger and freight, 
traffic greatly delayed or entirely suspended 
in all directions.—A memorable winter. 
.... The Reading railroad strike continues.... 
.Thomas S. Gardner, proprietor of the 
Chicago Farm Journal, was fined $500 yester¬ 
day for circulating lottery and gift enter¬ 
prise circulars by mail. 
FOREIGN NEWS. 
Saturday, January 28, 1888. 
Editor O’Brien, M. P., who has been in 
prison since October 31, has been released,and 
Ireland has gone wild in celebrating the 
event, with bonfires, banqueting aud speech¬ 
making and other methods of jubilation. A 
large number of other prominent persons, in¬ 
cluding M. P.’s,have just been jailed, however 
and it is very evident the coercion laws will 
be ruthlessly enforced. The political prison¬ 
ers are treated like common criminals, if not 
worse, which renders discontent fiercer in Ire¬ 
land, and steadier in other parts of the king¬ 
dom; but all harshness meets with full ap¬ 
proval from the vast majority of the Conserv¬ 
atives and Liberal-Unionists. Speeches and 
addresses are still the order of the day every¬ 
where. The tithe troubles in Wales and the 
crofter contention in Scotland would have 
caused a great sensation were it not, for the 
still more sensational troubles in Ireland. 
Compulsory idleness and distress great all 
over the Islands among the working classes, 
and much business stagnation among manu¬ 
facturers and the mercantile community. 
.In France the Panama Canal scheme 
which received a severe set-back last week by 
the unanimous refusal of the Ministers to al¬ 
low M. de Lesseps to issue lottery loans, is 
again buoyant. The indomitable de Lesseps 
appealed to the people to briug pressure to 
bear on the Government, and as between 400,- 
000 and 500,000 Frenchmen have money in the 
enterprise, a great effect has been produced. 
President Carnot has all along been favorable 
to the undertaking, and the ministers are re¬ 
ported to have changed their minds somewhat. 
The shares w T hich dropped 25 francs each last 
week have advanced 18 francs in the last few 
days.Much peaceable talk of late 
between Russia, Germany and Austria, but 
war preparations continue. Though Russia 
has a very much heavier force than the com¬ 
bined forces of the other two close to the fron¬ 
tier, still the rest of the troops belonging to 
Germany and Austria are so disposed that 
owing to their vast superiority in strategic rail¬ 
roads aud other means of transportation, they 
could in a very few days concentrate many 
more troops at any point than Russia could 
mass there.Nothing else of general 
interest in Europe, except the condition of the 
Crown Prince, which is somewhat improved. 
AGRICULTURAL NEWS. 
Saturday, January 28, 1888. 
If the suit of the Department of Justice 
against live stock importers went against 
them, most of them would be ruined. The 
duties for which the Dunhams of Du Page, Ill , 
would be liable amount to about $60,000 a year, 
and Smiths, Powell & Lamb, Syracuse, N. Y., 
would have to pay at the rate of $50,000 a 
year, and other firms proportionately, and if 
the Government insisted on back duties for 
seven or eight years, who could stand it ? The 
duty on all animals not intended for breed¬ 
ing purposes is 20 per cent, of the value. .. .. 
Mr. Husted'sbill prohibiting thesale of liquors 
within 200 feet of county fairs was read and 
passed Thursday in the N. Y. Legislature.... 
_The French Chamber of Deputies has ap¬ 
proved a bill to utilize the sewage of Paris for 
fertilizing the valley of the Seine .... 
A petition from the Chicago Board of Trade 
has been presented to Congress, asking for re¬ 
taliatory legislation against Germany and 
France for excluding American meat. A 
cablegram last Wednesday says the French 
Minister of Agriculture has modified a law for 
the practical exclusion of American meats and 
cereals on the ground that if passed in its 
original form, this country would be sure to 
retaliate.A House bill provides for 
the granting to California of five per cent, of 
the net proceeds of the cash sales of public 
lands in that State.Gregg & Co., large 
manufacturers of agricultural implements at 
Trumansburg, N. Y.. have failed and made an 
assignment to Hon. S. D. Halliday of Ithaca. 
The firm had branch offices in Morristown, 
Term; Madison, Wis.: Kansas City, Mo; Rut¬ 
land Vt.; Winterport, Me., and Jackson, 
Mich., and many minor agencies. Their pro¬ 
ducts were a general line of agricultural im¬ 
plements, consisting of mowers, reapers, 
wheel rakes, binders and lawn mowers. Lia¬ 
bilities and assets as yet unknown. 
The milk producers who supply Boston have 
for some years had a union, which now em¬ 
braces 47 local sections, including nearly 900 
members. Dissatisfied with the prices of milk, 
they are now engaged in forming a “Milk 
Ti ust,” which will enable them to charge a 
profitable figure. It is proposed to raise $25,000 
to be invested in $500 creameries to be located 
in suitable places, so that they can utilize all 
surplus milk and so prevent the market from 
being glutted. A similar organization 
was started a few months ago by the milk 
producers who supply Chicago.

Saturday, Jan. 28, 1888. 
The phenomenal cold spell, of late, in Cali¬ 
fornia, was broken by general rains a week 
ago. In most places in Southern California 
the drop was only from two to ten degrees be¬ 
low freezing point, and this continued only a 
few hours It is asserted that the oranges 
and lemons are uninjured in the chief citrus 
districts of Los Angeles and San Bernardino, 
but the chances are that considerable damage 
has been done in Northern and Central Cali¬ 
fornia. Freezing weather prevailed for 
several days, and much loss will follow to 
those who have planted orange groves. Since 
1864 no such severe weather as this has been 
known in California. 
The American Grocer reports the tomato 
pack for the United States and Canada for 
1887 briefly as follows: The tomato pack for 
1887 is about 500,000 cases above the the aver¬ 
age annual pack of the past five years and 
about 600,000 cases larger than the average 
yearly pack for the four years 1883-86. The 
total number of cases packed in the United 
States and Canada during 1887 was 2,815,048, 
each containing two dozen tius, making a 
total supply of 67,561,162 cans. Had it not been 
for the varying climatic influences the pack 
would have approximated the largest on rec¬ 
ord. In 1884-85 the pack was below an aver¬ 
age, and as that for 1886 was only slightly 
above, the year 1887 opened upon a market 
scantily supplied with goods. Under the 
stimulus of an active demand, prices at the 
opening of the packing season were higher 
than for several previous years. 1 he average 
annual requirements of the United States and 
Canada are estimated at 2,500,000 cases. The 
trade was probably never in a better condi¬ 
tion than at present, and so far as canned 
goods’ packers are concerned, 1888 will proba¬ 
bly be as satisfactory in its results as 1887, 
unless the packers overstock the market.
