JUDGE GRESHAM'S SAY I ama Democrat on The Tariff And Economy WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN LATER. Has Great Confidence in the Ability of Carlisle to Fix Things. BUT TO SMASH GOES THE RACKKT. If There is to be Any Monkey Business Tolerated by the Party In Power After March 4th. Washington, Jan. 28. Special. In an interview on political subjects Judge Gresham has declared himself a demo crat on tariff and . economy positions only. He'says: "I consider the tariff as the only great question dividing the two parties. If the democrats when they take charge, will carry out their pledges sincerely and consistently, and knock out the protection fraud I will stay with them, and so will hundreds of thousands of independents who'voted for Cleveland in November. But should the democrats fail to keep their pl"' ' not one of these men will be found- vut ing the democratic ticket in 1896. ' I feel pretty good, though, about the future, for the fact that Carlisle is going to take the treasury is a guaranty that the new tariff bill will give tariff-reformers satis faction. ; It is gratifying to know that we have a man like Carlisle to help Cleveland through the great tariff fight which will soon be upon us. Carlisle is a great man and knows all about the tariff and can make no mistakes. I pre dict for him a successful . caj-eer in the treasury, and also in two years I expect to see the finances of the country so plain and so simple that a boy can write a statement of the treasury and under stand it. A it stands now- the more statements we read of the condition of the treasury the less we know. But Carlisle can be trusted, and he will suc ceed in bringing order out of chaos, and if he does he is my candidate for presi dent in 1896, and there is not a man in the country that can beat him for the nomination and election." Saturday Half Holiday. Chicago, Jan. - 28. Special. The first law which has passed the present legislature, goes into effect today. It is the result of the Saturday half holiday movement. Many of the prominent business concerns of the city and all the banking houses are quite willing to ac cept the innovation, and the employes can hardly be expected to object to an arrangement which gives them a larger leisure. The law making the day a legal half-holiday may or may not commend itself to those whom it will most effect. But its provisions are substantially in agreement with a custom already volun tarily adopted by many of our largest firms. In the course of years it has tie come patent to those employers that four or five hours can bo taken from the week's work without seriously impeding business. In summer the cue torn among wholesale firms is almost universal, and there is little reason for believing that a law regulating it will be less successful in Illinois than it has been in other states.

Belshaw, of the famous Oregon wheat producing family ; is on a visit to the Palouse region. Of grain production there Mr. B. says: "The general price of land is from $20 to $50 per' acre ac cording to quality. This last year was unusually dry for wheat raising, the same as in the Willamette, but the aver age about here was twenty-five bushels per acre, and would have been more if the weather had remained cooler, just at the time it came out in head and began to fill. I believe by some different mode of farming, their quality of wheat which is from seven to ten cents per 100 pounds lower than ours, might be made to reach within two or three cents. In the first place, they are ruining their land just like many in the valley have done, rais ing wheat after wheat for a dozen years or more without fallowing it, plowing thin and cultivalingthe wild oats, which are setting prettv thick, and eenerallv seeding with spring wheat which is the little chaff red club, one bushel per acre and sometimes less, and just as it comes from the threshing machine, with all the email grains which is a great detri ment to the whole crop. It needs to be well cleaned through a good fanning mill, small grains taken out, and then sown about one bushel and a peck to an acre. I think some other white winter varieties would do bctte', and should be put in during the fall, as early as possible, so as to escape this burning, and which would get past that warm time while filling and bring ?a better price in the market. I have just received a letter from a gentleman in Ohio, by the name of T. P. Vance. He wants me to furnish him with 125,000 bushels of wheat for seed this season. I think, by his letter, that his idea is to sell it out in smalt quantities. I am sorry ne naa not let me known sooner ; but you can see now what might be done, and what has already been accomplished with the best wheat of all nations from Lane county and the prospect is encour aging that we shall again achieve laurels and show to the world that the state of Oregon is invincible." The Stormy Petrel's Knduranue. N. Y. Sun. During a recent, trip across the Atlantic the passengers on one steamer had a vivid illustration of the endurance of the stormy petrel. Shortly after the ship left the Irish coast two or three of these birds were sighted at the stern of the ship. One had beeu caught at some previous time and its captor tied a bit of red flannel or ribbon ' round its neck and let it go. The bit of red made the bird verv con spicuous and it could be easily identi fied. That bird, with others that could not be easily distinguished, followed the ship clear across the ocean. Rarely, during the daytime at least, was it out of sight, and if for an hour or two it was lost to view while feeding on the reluse cast overboard it soon reappeared, and the last seen of it was within a few miles of Sandy Hook, when it disap peared, perhaps to follow some outward- bound steamer back to Ireland. When the fact is considered that the ship, day and night, went at an average speed of nearly twenty miles an hour the feat performed by the daring traveler can be better appreciated. When or how it rested is inexplicable.

When the different powders were purchased on the open market and examined by Prof. Chandler, of the New-York Board of Health, the result showed that Royal Baking Powder contained twenty-seven per cent, greater strength than any other brand. When compared in money value, this difference would be as follows : , If one pound of Royal Baking Powder sells for 50 cents, One pound of no other powder is worth oyer 36 cents. . ; If another baking powder is forced updn. you by the grocer in place of the Royal, see that you are charged the correspondingly lower price. FUNERAL OF BLAINE oa the 'Death Frcs President Harrison. ' LEGISLATIVE BODIES, ADJ00RI The Fsneral to Occur on Monday at . the National Capitol.' TEMPORARY BURIAL. IX THAT CITT V No ' Crepe nor Anything- to Mar the Serenity of the Household at the Blaine Mansion. Washington, Jan. 28. Special. News is to the effect that nearly all business is suspended in the various state capitals, where assemblies bav adjourned in memory of the dead states man, James G. Blaine. Following the death yesterday came the president, and in quick succession members of the cab inet, then one after another a constant stream of the most prominent people in official life called and left words of con dolence. Returning from his visit to the house of death, President Harrison issued a proclamation to the people of the United States announcing the death, giving a brief resume of the public career of the late illustrious statesman, paying tribute to his devotion to public interests, to his marked ability and his exalted patriot ism. Up to a late hour in the afternoon the remains lay in the front room, south west corner, third floor, where the pa tient has been uninterruptedly confined since the beginning of his fatal illness. There is no crepe on the door, and no indication, since the throng of callers partially ceased, that there has been, anything unusual to mar the serenity of the household. President Harrison sent for Senator Frye, of Maine, to consult about Blaine's funeral, which he thought should be public and at the capitol.; Of course there has been no opportunity to consult with the family, but Senator Frye had no doubt, they would interpose no objection to this honor being paid to the memory of th dead statesman. At 1 :30 p. m. it was stated by friends of the family that the funeral arrangements had been so far determined upon that services would be held Monday forenoon, and the remains would be at least temporarily interred in Washington city. - " : The Illinois Ballot. New York, Jan. 28. Special The Tammany organization favors a change of the election ballot in this state. The kind of ballot favored is similar to the blanket ballot now in use in Illinois. Upon it the names of each party's can didates are arranged in parallel col umns, with the name of the party over them. A circle in front of the name of the party indicates when a mark is placed in it that the intention of the voter is to vote the straight ticket. There is also a circle in front of the name of each candidate, and these are used when the voter votes a split ticket. It is not now the intention to have an emblem placed upon the ballots. and bating powder is equal to Dinereifee the Strojiorest
