Filibustering would probably have to be
resorted to to prevent tbis bappeuing
until a vacancy that might occur could
be filled. If all Roes well with them and
they organize the house witbout resist-
. once on a majority so slim, they will be
obliged to keep every man in bis place
until some of the contested oases are de
cided. They have much to give them
anxiety until the matter is straightened
out finally.One of the most interesting features of
the report of the third assistant general
for the last fiscal year is his suggestion
that the postage stamp, printing and
kindred work, which is now done by out.
side contractors, be transferred to Wash-
ington and done by the Government
itself. From an economic potet of view,
this is a matter of importance to every
taxpayer. Besides this, danger arises
from divided responsibility where the
-work is entirely in the hands of private
parties, and the Government exeroises
simply a supervisory fuoctior tin the
product is turned o'er for use. It is
dorbly hard to trace nut and punish
thefts which occur under these con-
ditions.
Ent to Washington the change pro.
pos d is of especielmoment. In order to
carry on the postage -stamp work, it will
be necessary to keep all the present
force of the bureau of engraving and
printing and probably increase it very
largely. The employees of the bnrean
have felt nervous and disturbed in miud
over the talk of cutting off a large part of
tbe internal revenue system, which
would do away with so much of the
revenue stamp printing as to involve a
eousider=bee reduction of force ; and
this bugbear would he removed by such
leai,lation as is reeommonded by the
Third Assistant Postneaster-General. It
is to be expected )hut a bard fight
against the change will be made by the
private concerns whose profits world be
out down by it but such opposition has
10.be encountered and overcome by every
reform instituted by the Government,
and there is nothing terrifying 111 it.

To the Ede oro" 7110 POST,
IIons vs. C.TTLn.—As yonr valuable
paper is read by a large number of the
eutuhieient Neuters of Perth and Ilion
1 trust that you will insert the following.
I ("mire to offer a few suggestions to the
farming and stook raising rotrimunityq.
I feel assured that many are seriously
considering the profit and los-, side of
this question and there is no plainer facts
la'ought before us to -day than that it
does not pay to raise cattle, and sell them
at 1.;;. or 2 cents per pounce on foot. Ib is
a well known fact they were not raised
for double that amount, 2 and 3 year old
steers and cows Belling for froui 113 to
9110 each, these aro truly ruinous prices,
When spoken to on the subject they are
ready to exclaim "what shall we do,"
and etra0g$ to say they keep cm at this
year lifter year. The cry is what ehali
wo do with our coarse grain and where
shall we get manure from to keep up the
richness oe the land ? I would say take
the advice of Professor Brown, of the
Guelph Agricultural College, who was
bold enough to say the hog is the only
animal on the farm that will pay in his
own flesh for the food consumed and
leave a handsomo profit beside. I know
the hog is looked upon with distain and
treated the worst of any animal on the
farm and by many oonsidored dirty and
not worth taking trouble to wash and
keep clean, but I assure you there hover
was a greater mistake, The bog loves
to be washed and combed and will show
his appreciation of kind treatment as
much and sometimes more than many
of the rulers of oreation and, Sir, kind.
nogg is well repaid by all of God's
creation, Lot us discuss the question of
profit and loss in hogs. Many will toll
you they eat all the peas and very little
do they give in return. Lot tis pelt a
few questions --do yon charge all they
eat against them ? Answer, no I Do you
give them credit for all they Drocluco ?
Answer again, no 1 Now, sir, 7 submit

old, for 1110 or 412 and con keep hor at a

Oeslinvoioroxs.--A large percentage of
the hogs which were being fattened for
the market in this and surrounding
soetions have been sold to shipper• at so
much per pound live weight. The prices
°brained ranged from. 43 to deeute. Ship-
pers are here undorstool to moan those
who call around at all seasons of the
year and buy such stock as the fanners
have to clisposs of sucb its lambs, fat
sheep, stems, old bulls, etc., which they
ship to the large cities and other foreign
markets. Selling hog' live weight was
somewhat of a new ventnro in a general
way a' least. The result of this new
ven'ure was not very satisfactory to the

ASSAM TEA..
Wo have pleasure in i0forming our
Irish and Scotch friends that wo have
succeeded in getting a package of the
Genuine British India Black Tea. People
from the Old Country have always
wondered how it is that Tea in this
country is so different to that in the 01d
Country. The reason is that it is China
and japan Teas that are brought to this
country, and it is British Indian Tea,
notably Assam, that is oonsomed at
home. Now, at a great deal of trouble,
as very little of it is imported to this
country, we lm -es got a Chest of this
Magnificent Tea. Not the little half
chests that come from China of 50 to GO
pounds, but the big whole ohest of 112
pounds, the long hundred weight that
Tea grown in British India is put tip in.
Do not fail to get some of this Tat .for
Christmas and Naw 'rear. It will make
up for the Broee and the haggis ; the
Boxty, the Sowans and the Hot scotch
of Auld Long Syne. This Tea, mixed
with certain grades of Young Hyson,
makes a very Fine Tea, but it won't
blend with Japan at all.
We keep the kettle boiling all the time,
so that we can draw it for you before
buying. It only suits those accustomed
to drink strong Black Tea.
