Radical Notions Of the Gov
crnnlCnt.

Our radicals arc a curious set Of
mortals. A while ago, when they
could, or thought they could, mould
the General Government in all its
departments to their own liking, it
was an awful crime-treason, BIAS
Sahs4Iy. ShsSIfy arson Sr something worse-to say
or criticise any Of its measures, and
especially to hint that anything the
President did, who was styled the
Government PER Sc was not the
best and wisest thing that could be
done. But now the President OF
their own choice has ceased, in their
estimation, to be "the Govern
ment, any longer, and for much
less abuse than they now bestow on
him, they were ready to hang their
political opponents but few short
months ago. Having lost conf
dcnce in being able, as fully as they
could wish, to manipulate the Exc
cutivc and Judiciary departments
to their partisan purposes, they Gle.
vate the legislative branch to the
exclusive dignity of 1.-THE Govern
ment." What Congress, in which
the RAIDS, for the time being, hap
pen to have majority, does, they
insist must be right, for like the
British monarch it can do no wrong.

ssBen. Wade's Party"

The Congressman who composed
BEN. WADE's party will all be pres.
ent at the July session of Con.
gress. AS they have been out
viewing the "town sites," and pros.
pecting over the country along the
line of the Pacific Railroad, they
are anxio us to give their votes to
any project that will give millions
of acres of the public domain to a
bloated corporation, which in re-
turn give broad acres to Congress
men for votes! The truth is all the
late Congressional excursions, "
&c.. have been for the purpose of
speculation. The public land Of the
United States is being disposed of,
not to actual settlers, but to rail-
roads and corporations, who, after
dividing with Congressman, hold
them to sell to the people at euor-
nous profit. In order to divert
public attention from Congression-
al prodigality in this direction, an
eternal clatter is kept up about
Impartial suffrage, and the peo-
pie are kept excited over "recon-
struction" in order that public
thieves may possess themselves of
the heritage that justly belongs to
the great masses Of the American
people. Cleveland Plaindealer. 'n

The Democracy, convinced Of tho
folly Of the Maine Law in Iowa,
have placed plank in their plat
form for its repeal. This is wise
act, for if in ten years, the law
cannot and will not be enforced BIZ
the Radical Office holders, it is
humbug and ought to be repealed.
But aside from all this, no law in
the world has worked SO effectually

With silent awe hail tie sacred morn -....r-.
Which slowly wakes while The fields are still
A soo' hing cal IN on every breezeis borne,
grave murmur gurgles from the rill,
And echo answers from the hill,
And softer sings the linnet from the thorn,
The skylark warbles In note less shrill
Hail, light serene; hall, sacred Sabbath mornl
The rocks flow silent by, in airy droves
The sun a placid yellow lustre shows,
The gales that lately sighed along the grove
Have hushed their downy wings In sweet repose
The lowering rack of clouds forget to move;
So smiled the day when the fret morn arose.

Let's Have q New Divide. .

:Brave old Ben Wade, - as the
heroic Sumner once delighted to
call him, is in for a re-division Of
property. In his Kansas speech Of
the 10th ult., he said:
1.-The shadow of another struggle
was over us. That Congress which
has done SO much for the slave, can
not quietly regard the terrible dis
tinction which exists between the
man that labors and him that does
not. PROPERTY Is NOT FAIRLY DI.
v1DED, AND MORE EQUAL DIsTRI-
BUTTON MUST BE WROUGHT OUT.
Wendell Phillips, too, pipes the
agrarian song, He, in urging con-
fiscation South, says:
"Coniscation is mere, naked JUS
tice to the former slave Who
brought the land into cultivation ?
Whose sweat and toll are mixed
with it forever Who cleared
those forests? Who made those
roads? Whose hand reared those
houses? Whose wages are invested
in those warehouses and towns !
OF course, the negro's. Why should
he not have q share Of the inherit
ance?" f-g.
All, as an ADDENDUM the New
York EXPRESS suggests:
"Who built Bacon street, Boston?
The Irish laborer I! Who built the
Boston wharves, and slips, and
granite stores there? The Irish Ia
borer! Whose sweat and toll are
mixed with them all? The Irish la
borer's! Why should they not
have their share of the inheritance?''

Pr.paxa,inx RIaekberries.

The blackberry propagates itself by
suckers; and if these are taken up in
autumn or early in spring. cut back and
set out for growing another season,
they will make well-rooted plants by
autumn. Another mode is to cut of
the roots by means of long, sharp
shade, around the growing plants in
spring, to induce the formation Of suck
ers. This cutting should be done few
inches from the main plant, in circular
form, and repeated again few inches
further out, so that the young plants
may not have long, one-sided roots.
A third mode is to take up cuttings of
the roots in autumn or early in the
spring, say three or four inches long
and as large as o quill, or larger, and
set them out in open ground in an up
right position, leaving the top little
below the surface. If the soil is rich
and mellow they will do we'll. A fourth
and the best mode, when practicable, is
to use cuttings with bottom heat; they
need not be more than IN inch or two
long, and should either have the heat
of hot bed, or Q propagating house.
They should be taken up in autumn, 80
as to be started early in spring. In
the carly part or by the middle Of sum-
mer. they will do to set out in open
ground, and will make good plants the
same season. BY this mode there will
scarcely be failure. The soil for these
bottom-heat cuttings, should be q mix
ture Of about two-thirds of clean sand
thoroughly mixed with one-third of
leaf-mould, with portion of finely diff
fused old manure.-Caantry Gentleman.

Pretettisn 10 Sheep.

The March report of the Commission
er of agriculture dwells upon the raw
ages committed by dogs among the
sheep in the United States. In 1906,
FIVE hundred thousand sheep were kill
ed by dogs, and their value was q, ,050, :
600. The number injured was three
hundred thousand, and the loss is esti-
mated at $4,000 The number of dogs
in the country is computed at five mil
lions, their annual expense ten dollars
per head, and the snm total Of their
subsistence fifty millions of dollars.
What q loss to farmers and the trade
of the country, which might have been
saved by a practice, which We often
published, of keeping the sheep in the
same pasture with fat cattle or cows.
As soon'as the dogs appear, the sheep
run to the cattle for protestion and the
dogs are driven off. We speak from an
experience of thirty years, never losing
a sheep, though our neighbors on the
same night; north and south of us, had
sheep killed in consequence of neglect
ing this precaution.-COnmerciai Gds.
