TnE Hon. Charles Emory Smith, Editor 
of the Philadelphia Press and one of the 
brightest and most popular journalists in 
America, has,with popular commendation, 
been nominated Minister to Russia. 
Virginia is trying to shut out Chicago 
dressed beef, and the Windy City threatens 
to retaliate by abandoning the use of Vir¬ 
ginia tobacco .According to the latest 
accounts, there are in North Dakota 5,000 
destitute settlers who are wholly dependent 
on outside aid. This statement has been 
emphatically contradicted, however, by 
many Dakotans, but is substantially in¬ 
dorsed by Governor Miller, and by H. T. 
Helgeson, State Commissioner of Agricul¬ 
ture.Between 800 and 1,000 Indians at 
Devil’s Lake are reported to be wholly des¬ 
titute.Andrew 
Carnegie has given $1,000,000 to establish a 
frej library in Pittsburg on condition that 
the city shall pay $40,000 a year as a main¬ 
tenance fund. The city will do so. Mr. 
Carnegie has also given $300,000 for a free 
library in Allegheny City, just across the 
Allegheny River from Pittsburg.The 
prospect now is that Chicago will get the 
World’s Fair. A very considerable part of 
the population of New York have never 
wanted it here ; a large number of others 
are extremely lukewarm in the matter, and 
lately politics has upset New York’s 
chances—at least for the present. The 
Republicans, having a majority in the New 
York legislature as well as in Congress, 
want to have control of the show, which 
will give employment to a vast number of 
workmen, and an opportunity of control¬ 
ling the expenditure of millions. The man¬ 
agement of such an undertaking might de¬ 
cide New York State’s vote at the next 
Presidential election and so decide the 
national contest. The Democrats see 
this, and insist on Democratic or Tammany 
control of the big job.At the election 
last Monday for Mayor of Salt Lake City, 
the Gentiles, for the first time in the his¬ 
tory of Utah, secured control. Official re¬ 
turns give George A. Scott. Gentile, for 
Mayor, a majority of 800; Louis Hyams, 
Gentile, for Recorder, 539 ; J. B. Walden, 
Gentile, for Treasurer, 639; E. R. Clute, 
Gentile, for Assessor, 466; J. M. Young, 
Gentile, for Marshal, 773. The others on 
the Gentile ticket, including 15 Council- 
men, are elected by majorities ranging from 
300 to 400. 
True Merit Appreciated.—Brown’s 
Bronchial Troches are world-renowned 
as a simple yet effective remedy for Coughs 
and Throat Troubles. In a letter from Hon. 
Mrs. Pery, Castle Grey, Limerick, Ireland, 
they are thus referred to : “ Having 
brought your ‘ Bronchial Troches ’ with 
me when I came to reside here, I found 
that, after I had given them away to those 
I considered required them, the poor people 
will walk for miles to get a few.” Obtain 
only “ Brown’s Bronchial Troches.”

FOREIGN NEWS. 
Saturday, February 15, 1890. 
The relations of England and Portugal 
are becoming more amicable with regard to 
the East African embroglio. It is likely 
that the former will somewhat modify her 
demands and that the matter will be set¬ 
tled without recourse to arbitration. 
-The other day the Duke of Orleans, eld¬ 
est son of the Count of Paris, and grand¬ 
son of King Louis Phillip, was arrested in 
Paris for having entered France contrary 
to the law passed in 1887, banishing the 
descendants of all who had ever sat on the 
French throne, and forbidding their return 
to France. Last Wednesday the young • 
man, who had just reached 21, was con¬ 
demned to two years’ imprisonment and to 
pay the cost of the trial. He said he had 
returned merely to enlist as a common 
soldier in the army, a duty which the law 
requires of all Frenchmen. He made a 
very favorable impression, and will prob¬ 
ably be soon pardoned, taken as a prisoner to 
the frontier and there set at liberty. No 
doubt the movement was intended to favor 
the aspirations of the royalists, but 
whether it was the mere mad-cap act of a 
youngster, or deliberately planned by older 
heads remains to be seen. 
AGRICULTURAL NEWS. 
SATURDAY, February 15. 1890. 
English dairymen are protesting against 
a proposed increase in railroad rates for 
carrying milk. The Great Western pro¬ 
poses to charge for carrying a 16-gallon 
can, not exceeding 85 miles, four shill ings, 
about 96 cents ; 150 miles, about $1.23 ; 175 
miles, about $1.32. This is much more than 
double the old rates, and as the business is 
at present very unprofitable to both pro¬ 
ducers and dealers, any advance must be 
borne by the consumers.A large 
number of dairymen met at Hartford on 
Tuesday, and formed an association known 
as the Connecticut Creamery Association. 
It is said to embrace two-thirds of the 
creameries in the State. 
N. G. Williams, manager of the Vermont 
Farm Machine Co., writes us that the 
statement made by Prof. Cooke, at the 
New York Dairymen’s Association, and re¬ 
ported in the issue of January 4, is in¬ 
correct. The butter which was awarded 
the gold medal at the Paris Exposition, 
was made at the Green Mountain Stock 
Farm, West Randolph, Vt., and was made 
by the Cooley creamer process. The man¬ 
agers of this firm write that they have used 
the Cooley creamers for several years, and 
heartily indorse them. This farm has the 
reputation of having the largest and finest 
herd of registered Jerseys in the world, 
numbering over 400. It is a curious fact 
that in every published report of Prof. 
Cooke’s statements in regard to this 
matter, the same assertion in regard to the 
use of open pans was made. We are glad 
to make the correction. 
The Board of Trade and Orange Growers’ 
Association of San Bernardino County, 
California, have opened a “Citrus Fair” 
at the comer of Broadway and Thirty-fifth 
St., this city. It is an object-lesson in¬ 
tended to teach Eastern people what Cali¬ 
fornia can produce. Orange trees loaded 
with fruit, lemon trees, palms, pampas 
plumes, cacti and other curiosities are on 
exhibition, as well as all kinds of fruit, 
fresh, dried and preserved; vegetables, 
minerals, grasses, woods, etc. 
At an auction sale of horses in this city 
recently, a young Kentucky mare, 15% 
hands high, that can trot in three minutes, 
was sold for the low price of $235. 
A show and sale of Jersey cattle will be 
held at Birmingham, England, March 27... 
During 1889, 12,021 cattle were shipped 
from Montreal to Liverpool by the Beaver 
line, and 11,961 were landed alive. Of 
sheep, 11,862 were landed alive. 
English farmers’ organizations are becom¬ 
ing aroused to the fact that vigorous mea¬ 
sures for the extirpation of pleuro-pneu- 
monia must be adopted.The rats 
in some districts in Lincolnshire are be¬ 
coming a veritable plague. Nothing eat¬ 
able escapes their attacks, and in many 
cases stacks have been half destroyed. 
.An English court awarded a plaintiff 
three guineas for damages arising from 
thistle seed blown from the defendant’s 
land 300 yards away.There is a move¬ 
ment on foot in Scotland to relieve the 
mothers of families in the dairy districts 
from the labor of milking, which is such a 
heavy burden to many of them.
