The Late Political Fiasco.

THERE is one very significant factwhich
il will hardly do to let pass without no.
tioing, and that is the entire lack of en-
thusiasm all over the State at the recent
special election. The Democratic men,
bers at Indianapolis confidently counted
ON the supposed hostility to the "nigger"
to arouse an intense feeling against the
Fifteenth Amendment and their claim
in resigning was, that Representatives
might be seLt to the Legislature from the
people on that issue. They drew up q
long, windy, ungrammatical, but some
what plausible address, proclaiming the
great enormity which Republican legisla-
tors were about to infiict upon their help
less constituents. What advantage re-
suited to the Republican legislators in
question for thus acting does not appear.
One would suppose that member in mis-
representing his constituents would have
some personal gain in view. This is,
however, not claimed and we are only
left with the hypothesis that the Repub-
lican members OF the Legislature (some of
whom, doubtless, have political aspira-
tions) were about to go to work and, politi-
cally speaking, cut their own heads of.
Whatever the motives might be, the
Democrats, with customary benevolence,
gave themselves the benefit of the doubt,
and virtually charged their opponents
with the indefinite crime of total de-
pravity. .-...s ~. .-...9 .se. =
Building upon this foundation, with
the vain hope of knocking the Republican
party of the State out of existence by a
total massacre, if nothing else would
serve; they issue vain-glorious blast of
bombast and call for special election.
The blast came forth stillborn and awoke
not a single .echo.E The tremendous hos
tility in Indiana to the niger is found
to- have lost its substance. The
whole State refuses to burst into a general
confagration at the mere mention Of the
cabalistic word "nigger."
The old time enthusiasm is no more
How are the mighty fallen" The lead
ers are rebuked by their own followers.
They have now time to understand the
public sentiment of their own party In
stead Of coming into the polls with ban
ners flying, animated by the pleasurable
excitement Of citizenship. and honest
opinions, the voters struggled in one by
one and went away with feathers down
like lame ducks on q prairie. A very,
very faint futter was all there was of the
anticipated blaze of righteous indigna-
ton. It is true no Republicans were sent
back, because only in those districts where
Democratic majorities were very large
were there any designations made But had
Republicans in those districts even known
of the weakness which the election has re-
vealed, they would have made strenuous
efforts and elected different candidates.

All other temporal blessings are comparatively

Adjusting Expenses.

AN English paper in this pleasant and
forcible way begs people to draw the
important distinction between regulat.
ing their expenditures by other peoples
instead of by their own wants and
IF you want to live in a vain show, reg
ulate your expenditure by the expendi-
ture of your neighbors if you want to
live wisely and manfully, regulate
your expenditure by your actual
wants, including, of course, the wants
of your mind as well as those
of your body, and the wants of your fam
lily as well as your own. Comely dress is
a good thing and proper application of
your money; but dress of a particular
cut and color, not wanted for any other
reason except that Mrs Goldsmith or Miss
Filagree over the way has got one, is not
legitimate or thrifty expenditure of
money. If you really want a better house
than that you now inhablt, more airy,
more free from damp. more fitted to the
size of growing family, the likelihood is
that you could not make more likely
use of your money; but if neighbor Gil
pin has recently had windfall, and on
the strength of it has taken handsome
villa and seems to hold his nose in rather
higher stratum of the atmosphere than
he used to, don't you take the
villa opposite merely to be on an equality
with him. A phaeton is nice
thing to have, and drive in clear sum-
mer day brings bloom to the cheeks of
the wife and children. All right; have
you phaeton-provided always that the
reason of your buying it is not that your
wife cannot bear to see Mrs. Tompkins
lodging from phaeton while she walks
afoot, and provided also that the money
thus laid out is not required for more sub
stantial wants, such as a good schooling for
boys and fair provision against rainy
day. A trip to the seaside may be of such
benefit to the family as to paw itself in the
way of shortening doctors bills; but the
seaside breezes and the bracing waves
have never entered the service of fashion,
and they will do you and yours as much
good at a cheap watering place as dear
one. It is needless for us to extend our
illustrations. Every reader who keeps his
eyes open and can observe what is going
on in society around him, will be able to
add to the list. There is practically no
great difficulty in distinguishing between
the expenditure which is incurred for
show and that which is incurred for
sound and substantial reasons. so

The Presidents Friends.

One or two of the journals raise great
clamor about the President appointing
personal friends to Office, as though that
was an unheard of thing in American
politics. If President finds, among the
men personally and Familiarity known to
him, some who are capable of filling with
ability public posts, he is fortunate man,
and does well to appoint them. BE is re.
sponsible for the conduct of his snbordi
mates, and if he can get men whom he
knows to be capable and honest to accept
subordinate places, he will be only the
more certain that the country will be
well served. , *. -. = a.,s:-e K y
1t is odd that nobody has complained
yet that the persons appointed by Gen.
Grant are incapable or Of improper char
acter, but only that they are Grants
friends. Is it crime, then, to have
known the President?
The fact is that Gen. Grant has ap-
pointed fewer of his personal friends to
office than any of his recent predecessors;
but he has done what was done openly
he has concealed nothing. He might
very easily have slipped in the name Of a
relative or friend among "batch" of
appointments, and thus avoided notice.
But he has not chosen to hide anything.

There has been a long delay upon the
part of the President to await the seton
of the Senate upon the Tenure-of ONCE
bill. Whatever the action of the Senate
may be, we presume that the President
will see his course to be plain. The initi-
alive in executive administration belongs
to him. IF he is of opinion that the pub.
lie welfare requires the removal of an Of
ficer he should nominate successor, and
leave to the Senate the responsibility OF
retaining him. But there is no reason for
the President or for the country to fear
that the Senate wishes to thwart the Pres
ident's desire Of vigorous and honest ad-
ministration. If it.does, if it should plain
ly connive at corruption or inefficiency,
by refusing to confirm those whom the
President might name for the purpose of
pure administration, the Senate would GER
tainly be held to the strictest accountable
ty. The President is responsible for his
Judgment" in suggesting the removal of
civil officers But, as Senator Conkling
truly said, it is useless to suppose that he
can not remove except for reasons that
could be maintained in court of justice.
The President is not a man to. be dis
mayed by difficulties, and with an able
and harmonious Cabinet; witha Congress
friendly and not servile and with the uni
versal confidence of the country, his ad-
ministration is not likely to disappoint the
authorizations which the hope of his cleo
ton excited.-HdTpe7's Weekly. -

Allow for Rainy Days.

1t is the fault of many young farmers,
and not a few older ones, that they plan
early in the spring to put too many acres
into crop. They go through careful cal
culation of how many days work it will
require to plow, harrow, plant and sow a
given number of acres, and find that there
are just days enough before the end of
seed time to accomplish it. Now, this
making calculations before hand is all
very well but the fault is in not making
allowance for rainy days. We should
always hope for long, bright days of sun
shine in farming, as in other pursuits, but
it is also the part of prudence to remern-

CultiYating Orchards

SHOULD orchards be cultivated9 is a
question frequently discussed among po-
mologists.
There are, however, very few who will
advocate dispensing with SO important an
operation, particularly while the trees are
young. Cultivation hastens maturity, in
asmuch as it assists growth, and those who
neglect it will usually discover their mis-.
take when too late for introducing a
remedy. By keeping the surface of the
soil open and loose, we insure the rapid
descent of rain to the roots, and the alb
sorption of moisture from the air, both

Our Debt and Our Taxes.

THE New York Tribune, in reply to
correspondent who had declared that the
debt Of the country is increasing, and that
the people are as heavily taxed as they
can bear, says:

= But this is not all. We have moreover
paid immense sums to soldiers as muster
ing-out bounties, &c., to States for adj
vances in the way of outfit and arms for
their volunteers in the war for the Union,
&C., &c. The actual reduction of our in
debtedness since the war ended is nearer
four than three hundred millions And
the country is rapidly increasing its popu-
lation, production, and wealth-at the
average rate of not less than five per cent
per annum. Atthis rate, though not one
dollar of principal were meantime paid
off, the practical burden of our debt
would be reduced fully two-thirds in
thirty years. That is to say, the debt will
bear upon us but one-third as heavily in
1899 as it does in 1869. aol .a sssa -.

Serious Accusation Against Andrew
johnson.

The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Times makes the following &C.
cusation against Andrew Johnson:
The late President always boosted of
his integrity and his honesty, and his fare
well address pompously proclaimed that
no one could charge him with corruption
or having received cent which did not
rightfully belong to him. 1t has been dis
covered since he left the White House
that he carried away with him all the
books of record belonging to the Govern
ment, amounting in value to upward of
three thousand dollars These books
were mostly heavily bound, costing from
thirty to ninety dollars each, and were
paid for with the public money, and he
had no more right to take them than he
would have to carry off the furniture,
paintings and statuary from the White
House. These books comprise all the
records of civil, military and diplomatic
business which transpired during his term
and that of Mr.. Lincoln. go
"Before Lincoln came into office, no
such records were kept at the White House
by former Presidents. Lincoln. COM
menced the practice, and at his death all
the records remained at the White House,
and came into possession of his successor.
The clerks who kept these books were at

tailed for duty at the White House. 1t is
probable that Congress will order an in
vestigation, and, if it can be done, compel
the retiring President to disgorge A per-
son connected with the White House,
knowing that the books were being boxed
up to be removed, endeavored to have
them stopped, and applied to magistrate
for warrant; but, as he had no title in
the property, and it was scarcely believed
that johnson intended to carry off the
public property, nothing was done to pre-
vent it."

The Crows Value to the Farmer.

WHATEVER wrong the crow commits
against the cultivators of the soil may, by
a little painstaking, be materially lessened
or wholly prevented. The benefits he
confers are both numerous and important.
During the time he remains with us he
destroys, so says no less authority than
Wilson, " myriads of worms, moles, mice,
caterpillars, grubs, and beetles" Audi
bon also aff1rms that the crow devours
myriads of grubs every day of the year
grubs which would lay waste the farmers
fields-and destroys quadrupeds innumer-
able, every one of which is an enemy to
his poultry and his focks. DIR. Harris
also, one of the most faithful and accurate
observers, in speaking of the fearful rava-
ges sometimes wrought in our grass-lands
and gardens by the grub of the May-bee-
ties, adds his testimony to the great SER
vices rendered by the crow in keeping these
pests in check. Yet here in Massachu-
sets, regardless of such testimony in
their favor, we have nearly exterminated
these birds, and the destructive grubs,
having no longer this active enemy to re-
strict their growth, are year by year in
creasing with a fearful persistence. We
have seen large farms, within an hours
ride of Boston, in which, over entire
acres, the grass was so completely under.
mined and the roots eaten away, that the
loosened turf could be rolled up as easily
as if it had been cut by the turing spade.
In the same neighborhood whole fields of
corn, potatoes, and almost every kind of
garden vegetable, had been eaten at the
root and destroyed. Our more intelligent
farmers, who have carefully studied out
the cause of this unusual insect growth,
have satisfied themselves that it is the le-
Ultimate result, the natural and inevitable
consequence of our own acts Our short
sighted and murderous warfare upon the
crow has interrupted the harmonies of
