FRIDAY, JANUARY 19, 1883.
It detracts somewhat from Mr.
Cockling 'a elegance to learn that bis
pleasant remarks aro made only to
women. Another phase of the man's
Character is shown when he speaks of
Governor Cornell as "that lizard on
the bill," or of President Arthur as
"prize «x at the country fair," or as
"the dead cat I threw at my enemies
in the Chicago convention." Throw-
ing "dead cats !" What a figure !
His worst enemies ought to feel their,
wrongs somewhat avenged.

Frank Hatton is first assistant
postmaster general; Frank Hatton is
chief proprietor and editor-in-chief of
the Stalwart organ at Washington,
and Frank Hatton, first assistant post-
master general, editor-in-chief, etc.,
«tc., is, it is stated, now seeking the
bid of postmasters throughout the
land to act as agents for the organ
and use their influence and official
facilities for spreading the pestilential
sheet to the uttermost meanderings of
the mail bags. A supplementary line
to the civil service reform bill might
possibly reach this system of seeking
private gain through public agencies

Oh Monday last, the tariff bill being
tinder consideration in the senate,
Senator Garland proposed an amend-
ment—which was accepted—which in-
cluded cotton seed oil among the oils
on which the duty is twenty-five cents
per gallon. Why this protection ?
Is the cotton seed oil industry of this
country endangered by competition
with the cotton seed oil industry of
any other country ? Oh, how absurd
the proposition 1 We alone make cot-
ton seed oil, and yet the pretext is
raised that the industry must be pro-
tected .from foreign competition.
Verily the national government is
little more than a machine of jobs and
schemes to advance prices and extort
tnoney from the people.
DoDD,of Texas, was one of the.three
students of Hiwassee (College, Ken-
tucky, who undeitook recently to ex.
plore Craighead cavern, three miles
distant from the school. Tbey en-
tered with a torchlight, but after pas-
sing -the pit, ninety feet de^p, they
got lost in the labyrinthine passages,
and their light flickered out. Their
only match missed fire, and they were
lost in darkness Egyptian. They were
missed at college as the day wore on,
and at 8 o'clock at night a party Bet
off through mud and rain to rescue
them. For a time they called in vain,
but at last an answer echoed through
the gloom, and cold, shivering, hun-
gry, they were found. Some of the
rescuing party took off their overcoats
and gave them to the shivering nd-
adventurers. They reached their
rooms at 1 o'clock that night "wet as
minks, and cold and hungry as polar
bears." The next time these Voung
gentlemen steal a march they
had better be advised to take with
. them matches, lanterns, luncheon
and strings to illuminate, sustain and
guide them through devious ways.
GOATS IN ENGLAND.
CIVIL SERVICE
STA1
THE
The London Times gives some ac-
count of what it calls "an unique agri-
cultural experiment." A goat dairy
farm has been started, devoted exclu-
sively to the supply of goat's milk for
market, and for butter and cheese,
kids for the butcher, and kid skins
for the glove-maker and shoemaker.
The writer found a herd of 120 mHk-
giving goats, soon to be increased to
600. • They are housed, fed on hay,
cake and corn, having access always
to lumps of salt, have bedding of
straw, frequently renewed and kept
clcan, and there is no trace of the
odor, which is confined to the male
goat. The two males are kept teth-
ered to themselves, or in a separate
house. The goats are gentle, and their
coats are kept bright with the curry,
comb. They have no foot disease like
sheep, and their internal ailments are
promptly and successfully treated.
They are milked twice a day in these
houses, three times for a period after
kidding. Two goat-herders are re-
quired to keep the herd in from the
hedge* and trees while ranging the
clover fields and old pastures. They
have whips which are uged to alarm,
but they rarely strike them. They
follow the herdsman's whistle. The
Jrield is almost three pints of milk
daily for seven or eight months in the
year. They have kids twiee a year,
which, When used for meat, are killed
at from three to six weeks old. GoAt's
milk is in demand for ohildren, espe-
cially weakly infants, and for inva-
lids. The cropping of the farm is
planned for the supply of grass, of
straw for litter, and for hay and roots
for winter use. In goat's milk the
globules of cream are smaller and
more numerous than in cow's milk,
which makes it more easily digested,
and richer. Scientific men recom-
mend its use for consumptives, chil-
dren and invalids.
In Texas it would not be an agri-
cultural but a pastoral experiment.
The goat ranches here are for the
propagation of the animal for the
volue of its hair and skin and flesh,
not for its utilization for dairjT pur-
poses. In this climate no bedding or
close housing would be neoded. The
prairie furnishes food, and only for
imported stock would shelter be re-
quired. „ That investment in goat
ranches is profitable, is well known,
but there are very few Texans who
will engage in any enterprise so
small. These minor matters are left
to foreigners, and these foreigners are
fast Bhowiug that suA small matters
are not to be desp*>0B1 JThey grow
rich on what the Tqf"*"*"^">egards.

The Democratic goveAepot^st now
coming into power in thsican ao
well as Democratic stStofa breathe
forth the very purest Democratic doc*
trine on the subject of civil service re-
form, the rights of the people and the
just distribution of the burdens of
government. Gov. Ireland's inaugu-
ral is not so smooth, so artistic or so
elaborate as some of the others, but
he is sound in the great principles of
the fathers, and is most pronounced
in his views as to civil service reform,
honest administration of the state's
ofiairs and the protection of the pub-
lic domain. -
Gov. [Pattison, of Pennsylvania,
speaks more like a statesman, albeit
he is neither old nor experienced in
state craft, than any one of the new
governors yet inaugurated. His ut-
terances aro worthy of the best days
of tho Republic, and compare most fa-
vorubly with the wisest and most pa-
triotic messages of former times. A
few extracts may not be inappro-
priate, as they apply as well to Texas
as to Pennsylvania, and will meet
with ae hearty a response from the
Democracy of the south as from tho
old school Democracy of New Eng-
land. He says:
In part. I adopt, as of direct applica-
tion to the present time, a sentence
from President Jackson's first Inaugural,
in which he says the recent demonstra-
tion of public sentiment inscribes on
the list of the executive's duties a chap-
ter too legible to be overlooked—the
task of reform. This task, clearly set
before him, the present executive will
zealously strive to fulfill. Happily for
him. there can be no doubt of the par-
ticular subjects as to which public
anxiety for improvement has manifested
itself. These are well defined., The
method of accomplishment is a question
for legislative wisdom ultimately to de-
termine.
So far as the limits of an address like
this will permit, let me briefly state a
few subjects of needed reform: The
people demand the abolition of need-
less officesthe fixing of Official
compensations at such sums as are
eommensnrate with the services ren-
dered by salaries definitely ascertained:
rigid accountability in expenditures of
public moneys and the raising of the effi-
ciency of the civil service dv making
fitness and integrity alone tests for ap-
pointment

The people demand strict economy in
e expenditure of the moneys, a simple
and business-like conduct of the affairs
of government, and the repeal of all
laws creating avenues for the needless
spending of the public funds at the dis-
cretion of officials.
The people demand that the burdens
as well as the benefits of government
shall be distributed with fairness, just-
ness and impartiality. They demand
uniformity and simplicity in taxation,
and its distribution in such a manner as
that, while all shall bear their just share
of the common burdens, those shall con-
tribute most who receive most, and
those suffer least who can bear the least.
Care should be taken in the imposi-
tion of taxes that we do not lose sight
of those upon whom the imposition
finally rests. The hand that pays the
tax into the treasury is not always the
hand that earned it. The contribution
system is the most equitable, which, re-
cognizing this truth, so distributes the
taxing weight that none shall escape,
and none be taxed mora than their just
portion. Our present system in its
state, county and township ramifica-
tions is Intricate, unequal and ill-
digested. It is to be hoped the present
legislature will devise some method for
a simpler and juster allotment of these
burdens. I shall urge upon the general
assembly the passage of legislation nec-
essary for carrying into effect the pro-
visions of the constitution of the state.
The benefits of some of the most salu-
tary provisions of thai instrument have
not been secured by the people because
of the failure of the legislature to
laws for its conrplete enforcement.
