Congregational Cnrruptior.

In giving place to the following from
the Chicago Tribune, we desire TO be un-
derstooi as endorsing all tha. is said in
regard to exposing corruption in high
places:
The Developments which have been made
by the examination of the books of GER

nies. now bankrupt. for which Lawrence.

amount raised among all the manufac.ur-

one gentleman who has. we are sorry 10
say. stood high in Republican estimation,
Is charged with It's disbursement. We do
not vouch for the truth of these al,eca-
tlons. a far as they cast suspicion upon
particular men; but that there was gross
corruption practizcd in securing the legisls-
ton which was demanded, is now univer
sally conceded. II is SO much the rrsc-

we hop that no nan who values the gco.l

Seed Corn and the Rot.

Charles L. Murrv, of Elkha,t COUNT,
writes to the Elkhart Tines, some season
able suggestions in regard to the sowing
or procuring OF seed corn. IN view OF the
wide spread injury resulting from the ",ot"
He SAYS
In my opinion there will be greater
scarcity of this article next spring capable
Of terminating than was ever known in
Northern Indiana. and an investigation of
that fact now. and provision against it,
viii save labor and money then II is
well known that the excessive cold freezing
in November caught our corn, whether in
the crib or in the field, before it was dry
consequently. ukrnerer tic corn froze. tie

mistake about this. Dry corn is never in
iured by cold weather. and those who gath
cred their seed before the freazing weather
above alluded to. and put it in dry pl aces,
arc he lucky men. Iselected my seed when
! gathered my corn. got half of il stow
ed away thus. just previous TO the cold snap
in November. when | concluded my corn
crop was too damp TO save. so l stopped
and my corn all froze, in the crib and in
the field. Upon a thorough examination
canno. find an ear where the stalks arc
standing. but what is used up in the way
indicated have some that was cut ur
very earl y. where ] hope to find an occa-
slonal ear that WAS dry enough to withstand
the freeze. Perhaps there are some who do
not know how to test the quality Of their
seed corn. To such would say, take
knife and cut off small portion of tho
germ end Of the grain. If it is dead to all
intents ani purposes il will have dark.

part surrounding the germ. If good. it is
of lively cream color. particularly the
