A radical paper says the democratic
party is again dead-this time hopelessly
dead-and proposes to bury it this year.
We presume the little affair over in Cali

a part of the funeral.

The practice of placing out new beds of
strawberry vines in the months of August
and September came to us from England,
where the autumn months are more cool
and moist than in this country. 1t has
been persisted in and advised but except
in small gradens, where extra care,
amounting in labor to more than the value
of the fruit crop, is taken, its results have
rarely been satisfactory.

John Bell.
The death of John Bell, of Tennessee,
produces hardly ripple OH the indiffer-
ent surface of the public mind. So easily
are eminent men forgotten, even before
they die. OF one hundred intelligent
persons taken at random from any po-
litical gathering, it may be safely sup
posed that two-thirds, seeing the tele-
graphic announcement of his death,
would innocently ask, "Who was John
Bellt"
John Bell was, in 1927, the political
rival of Andrew jackson. In that year,
he beat ''Old Hickory" in the race for
congress, and for fourteen years after
ward John Bell occupied seat in that
body. He served throughout both pres
idential terms of the man he had beaten,
part of the time as speaker of the house.
President Harrison made him secretary
of war, and subsequently Tennessee
sent him to the senate, in which higher
branch of the national legislature he
held a seat for the period of twelve
years In 1860, he was candidate for
the presidency on what was called the
american platform" and, being defeat
ed, he retired from public life. Few
men, at that time, had been longer in
public service, or were more generally
known and esteemed.

The Iowa HoMEsrEAD,-Is the
title of the agricultural paper of the
State. Except its name, which we think
could be improved, we believe it to be
all that can be desired. Under the
management of the new editor, Gen.
Wilson, it has been greatly improved,
and is now deserving the appreciation
and pecuniary support of all classes of
citizens of the state. Beside the intrin-
sic merits of the paper, We notice that
the publisher is offering very liberal
premiums in the shape Of agricultural
libraries, sewing machines, melodeons,
grape roots, strawberry plants, etc. The
experience of twenty years or more, of
editorial life of the editor, we esteem,
however, the browning premium of them

A number Of National Bank men
called on Secretary Boutwell,, recent

the numbca of designated repositories

give unfair advantages over all the
rest and, aside from the direct val
ue of the deposits to such bank, which
they estimated as minimum at four
per cent, on tho average Government
balance, any bank could build itself
up at the expense Of others. The
Secretary held that none of the banks
could claim the deposits as right,
