SENATOR SCHURZ 40 4IN.

Senator Schurz has been heard from
again in relation to the political situation.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati Com
mcrcial reports the following remarks of
his in recent interview:
We will have to begin in 1876 where We
left off in 1879. But the liberal principle
will succeed The Cincinnati platform will
succeed. We are set back, not beaten.
have been hopeful of success all the time
no: this campaign, then next We could
have succeeded this time, as verify believe,
by nominating Adams. ! thought so in May
last; l think so now.
The contest however, has not been barren
of results. 1t has played out the democracy
as party. This is well. The people will
not elect man to the Presidency who wears
the democratic label. The party, party,
can not hope to come to power under that
name. They must take departure so wide
as to leave the name behind.
The Grant majority in Congress is SO large
and strong that they will fall into quarrels
before the end of the term. They think they
are backed by such majorities that they can
afford to have an occasional row among them
selves. But their strength in Congress is on.
of proportion to their strength elsewhere.
They have not so much of majority Of the
people at their backs as they think. A fair
vote all over the United States, taken with
out perplexing side issues, would show this
Grant party's majority to be decidedly small,
if, indeed it has majority at all. The
strength of the parties in Congress, or as it
will be next session, is not fair index of pop
ular feeling.
only consider that the liberal movement
has been put back, postponed" as the Trib-
une said. 1t is the party of the future. Much
will happen during the next fonr years to
strengthen it and nothing to weaken it. 1t
will grow from this day forward. But it is
essential that the democracy, as separate
organization, should get out of the way and
give it fair sweep.
In this we find that Sehurz gets off the
track laid down in his late letter, and comes
out a decided organizer against Grant
and the republican party, and a prophet
of victory to the opposition through re-
publican divisions. Many prophets have
already proved false in their predic
tons of the fate of the republican party,
Mr.. Schurz among TIE number, so that
their opinions need heavy cndorsers TO
gain credit.

CENTENNIAL COMMISSION.

The Centennial Commission has been
employed in Philadelphia in preparations
for the great celebration of our national
independence in 1876. The. Press of that
city says: Very many suggestions have
been made in the course Of the discussion.
Some of the States have been startled by
the ratio Of their subscriptions, and vet
every hour increases the interest in the
subject, and the necessity of aid from 9TH
cr Commonweallhs. We are now in the
year Of our Lord 1872, and no State or
citizen can look forward to the Centennial
Anniversary OF the lth ofJuly. l71G, with
out an eager anxiety to participate in the
great memorial. Pennsylvania herself,
by an accidental history, happens to be
the centre Of the commemora,ion. If
Maine or Missouri, Massachusetts or Ma

equally fortunate, they would no doubt

Ii is stated that Postmaster General
Crcswell has announced his intention to
stick to the civil service rules in his APP
pointments and removals. The conduct
of officials during the last campain will
not be made matter of inquiry except
so far as it concerns their public duties
and the management of official affairs. In
palmer terms, participation in the liberal
movement will not be a cause for removal.
The Postmaster-General intends to OBJ
serve the civil-service rules in all offices
which are under his control, including all
those in which the salary is less than $1,000
per annum, and in those filed by the
President on the recommendation of the

A Bug-PrOOf Potato.

A scotsman is advertising that he
has potato (which is as nearly bug
proof as potato can be-" This has
allusiom to the celebrated Colorado pO-
fato bug. which has wrought such ter
rible havoc on the potato fields of the
west, and will no doubt be here before
couple of years or so pass over us.
1t seems strange at first thought that Il
potato bug will not eat any kind of po-
tato as well as another; but il is real
ly SO, that they have preference for
some varieties. In Illinois the writer
once saw a quantity of potatoes set out
for experiment, one row each of many
kinds. Some of these rows had the
bugs as thick as blackbcrries along
their whole length, while neighboring
rows had none. Ii is astonishing how
soon those voraciOus beetles will strip
row of foliage. But though they
have a choice, they are by no means
particular. They act on the principle
usual with human mortals, that crust
of bread is better than none, and, as
soon as their first choice is gone, read
ily take the second, and dcvour that
too. Starvation is not in their creed.
\ bug-proof potato is, therefore, not
i'm the bills, if one has but single kind,
and no choice, it will go the way of all
the rcst.-IfesS.

The Treatment of Spring Planted
Trees.

After such dry season as the pres
chard and garden usually exhibit dis
trcssing mortality among the new i'm
Productions of the past planting time.
Yet there is no reason why MANY
should die. A few simple suggestions
may save the lives Of many trees. as
well as save a year of time to our own
already short enough lives.
OF course the ultimate reasons WHY
transplanted trees die is the want Of
water. The roots are somewhat injur-
cd even by the best planting; and with
much evaporation, these weakened
roots are unable to supply the moisture
required.
If the season he dry like the psescnt
one, this trouble is heightened by the
actual absence Of moisture for the
weakened roots to use. Under these
circumstances many water the trees.
But where there are many trees to wa
ter this is DO mean task; and besides
watering has this disadvantage, that it
solidifics the soil, and every farmers
boy knows that hard, clotty piece Of
ground dries out faster than soil well
pulvcriZed. The best tree planters
rather try to avoid watering, and they
do this in two ways; one is by prun-
ing. and the other by Keeping the soil
in well-pulvcrized condition.
Pruning is one Of the simpest ways
of saving or weakening a trees life.
We do not, of course, add any more
moisture to the soil, or give any new
capacity to the damaged roots to take
up more moisture; but we cut of the
demand for moisture with every branch
cut away. We do not add to the stock,
but rather husband the supply. When
tree does not push freely into leaves
after transpIauting, il is in most cases
from this cause. The supply of moist
ure is short. If half the branches are
cut away, il is astonishing how soon
and how strorg the balance will push.
The other point-the pulyerization
of the soils often misunderstood.
A loose soil is not a well pulverized
soil. Simply hocing or raking the sur
face is not what is required. IL the
ground is baked hard, as many clayey
soils will do, this loosening is a little
gain: but as a general thing strong
soil .ncrcly loosened will evaporatc
moisture largely. The soils require
crushing, not only lOosenimg; and the
same principle which this paper has SO
often explained as following the use of
the roller in our grain fields is to be
carried out on smaller scale around
the transplanted tree. The more we
hammer and beat clOd the firmer il
becomes: and the firmer il is made the
more able it is to absorb moisture from
the atmosphere, and indeed from the
harder surrounding soil. Thus in
many cases the half-dricd, cakey earth
around tree NAV be pulvcrized by
merely beating it with rammer, and
very often this will serve the tree to
much better purpose than even the
most careful watering would do
