A vast quantity of coal is being destroyed

to the primaries" and appoint delegates
TO the nominating convention, who are
known to be above suspicion-men who
can not be bribed, directly or indirectly, to
vote for any one whom they believe to be
unworthy. We have heretofore been too
Indifferent to the duty imposed upon us as
electors, and have thus frequently allowed
few of1ice-seekers, "hangers-on," and
personal friends to force upon us very un-
satisfactory candidates. II Is true, we may
honestly differ in our opinions az to who
Is most suitable, and ] suppose the time
will never come this side of the millenni-
un, when everybody will be pleas
ed, for there are some people who are
constitutionally grumblers But q great
improvement on the present system might
be made. One of the great difficulties
with which we have to contend is the abuse
of the patronage of the civil service. AS
long as this exists, we will always be taken
at q disadvantage. / am therefore in favor
of any honest, capable man of the Repub-
lican party for Congress, who will come
out in favor of civil service reform, and
whose past record is such that there will
be no doubt as to his sincerity. | am sorry
to say that l, as well as others with whom
I have conversed on the subject, differ
with Common Bill'' in regard to Mr.. But
Ter. He is, no doubt, an excellent "claim
agent" and understands how to use money
to the best advantage in carrying an cleo
ton, mot that L accuse him of using it inn
properly, which is nothing to his credit
as private citizen. But there are other
qualifications more to be desired in q Mem
Der of Congress, which, if he possess, he
has been peculiarly unfortunate, in that
the people are not generally aware of
them. He may always act from principle,
as he says he voted for the "salary grab"
bill on principle. Let us not, therefore,
abuse and villify and vltuperate. This
is worse than useless. 1t is nom
sensical. Let us say: You have
candidly shown us what your principles
are. They do not represent our principles !;
therefore it would be absurd to elect you
as our representative. We honestly differ.
Let us have no quarrel. Let us part in
peace"
Now if "Publius" will convince me
that Maj. Pettibone is the man he repre-
sents him to be-, will be very strongly in
clined to support him. In the meantime,
| would like to hear from other disinter-
eSted parties.
And now in conclusion, let me advise
and urge every one who reads this to get
at least one more subscriber for the WEEK
LY CHRONICLE, which will doubtless keep
the people posted as to the merits of the
various aspirants, thereby enabling them
the better to Judge who is the proper man.
Every one can do this much. Let no one
plead ignorance when light can be had.
l have confidence in the people when they
are not msled.

Prune Orchards.

Trees that are hardy may be pruned in
mid winter, provided no large wounds are
made. An orchard properly and timely
attended will rarely require the removal
Of large limbs. We often see recommend
atoms to prune early in summer, because
the wounds heal rapidly at that time
That season may answer, provided the
cutting is very sparingly performed, or
provided the trees stand in a very rich soil
and grow with great vigor. But early
summer pruning always tends to check
the thriftiness of trees, and if vigor of
growth is desired, always prune before the
buds begin to swell-either in winter or
early in Spring; and if trouble is likely to
occur from the flow of sap, cover the
wounds with paint, grating wax, shellac
Varnish, or a mixture of tar and brick
Dust or road dust. If the wounds are
made by winter pruning, the cut surface
vi ii become so dry in few weeks that
either Of these applications will adhere
we'll and serve as a perfect protection.
1t often happens that the owner of large
orchards cannot find time TO do the work
himself, and is unwilling to leave it TO a
hired man who may have no experience
or judgment in cutting away the right
limbs. To obviate this difficulty, and to
have the work done to his satisfaction
let him take piece of chalk in his hand,
and going along the rows, draw a chalk
line at the base of every crooked, or cross
ing, or needless branch, and let his man
follow with the saw and remove them. In
this way he can mark in one hour all that
the man can saw off in day, and save his
own valuable time. Use the chalk sold
for school blackboards, and if the trees
are tall insert il in hole bored H. the end
OF q rod or stick several feet long.
