eel than we care 10 confoss The Vpposi-
,ion will not unite uton bim-his name
inspires no enthusiasm among Demoersf,
he can win no recruits from the camp OF
the Radicals Why, then, was be nomin-
sted ?
We believe the Gazette IL mistaken
and that the result of the present can.
vass will show that Mr. Hartzel is a
stronger man than our contemporary
believes. He was certainly the strong
est man before the convention.
1.-THE Opposition will not unite upon
him." says the Gazette; chs name in
spires no enthusiasm among Demo-
Gratis, and he can win no recruits from
the camp Of the Radicals This is a
mistake. While it is true, that the
name Of Mr.. Hsrtzel does not inspire
much enthusiasm among Democrats in
this part OF the district, it is also true
that the Democrats of Randolph, Perry,
Jackson and Williamson will support
him with great enthusiasm. lie has
always been Democrat, and one, too,
who has commanded the respect Of
reasonable Republicans, In 1870 he
ran for congress in strong Republi.
can district, and reduced the Republi.
can majority to less than hundred.
There is no reason why Democrats
should not vote for him there is no
reason why Liberals should not vote
for him there no reason why dissatis.
fed Radicals should not vote for him.
Then what is the objection to him ?
We presume the Gazette believes he
cannot carry the Farmers vote. We
believe he can. He is in high favor
with the Farmers party IN Randolph,
and was, we believe, nominated by
them some time ago for county judge.
In our opinion better nomination
could not have been made, under the
circumstances and if all the Opposi.
lion will unite in the support Of Mr..
Hartzel, throwing aside disappoint.
nent over failure toobtain this or that
man, he will be elected by a majority,
not large probably, but sufficient.

Rev. c. B. Boynton's recent sermon on the
liquor legislation question having been attacked
by the proh,b'tionists iror, the pulpit and
through the newspapers as q sermon In favor Of
license, the reverend gentleman replies through
the columns of the Cincinnati Gazette to his
q ssilants, saying that they misquote him, as in
his sermon he explicitly reidsed TO argue the
expediency of license law, because this ques-
ton il fully discussed in the daily papers. He
then asks:
:" Il il truthful or honest to represent this as
an argument in favor OF license? Presenting
that my sSsSilants really wish 10 know what the
argument Of the sermon truly Is, reproduce
Tor their instruction the main and the essential
point: When the state has no present power to
prevent or remove an evil. then TO lay upon it
such burdens and impose such limitations and
restraint as public sentiment will bear, this is
not, properly speaking, to license; that IL, give
TO It the sanction of law; il is merely to endure
while We must, and restrain as far rs We can.
This principle Is clearly presented in the Scrip
lures, and IL acted NJ on by God in HIS govern
ment of the world Will those who are so
eager for discussion show that this is not true, IL
they can?'

Indications of trouble in the republican ranks
in Massachusetts, growing out of the coming
nomination for governor, are rapidly Increasing.
As the democrats intend to nominate a cardi-
date squarely opposed TO prohibition, they de-
sire to make issue with the republicans on this
measure, believing that a majority of the people
of the state are tired of law which cannot be
enforced. The question with the republicans,
therefore, is whether or not they " II c,spt the
issue ard dominate a prohibitiODist. IL so,
Gov. Talbot will be their most eligible an.
Some Of the leading republican journals desire
TO avoid the prohibition Issue, believing that il
the party accepts it it will be Defeated. The
Springfield Republican says there are a good

do not believe in prohibition, and who do not

candidacy, under existing circumstances, is

Henry l.. Pierce having declined the candidacy
in advance, those who are still talked of, indie
pendent OF the prOhibtOry sspirsnt, are Alex
snder H. Rice of Boston, Henry l.. Dawes of
Pittsfeld, Jehn f. Sanford of Taunton, and
DR.. George b. LOring of Salem. The Spring

state (Henry L. Dawes whose appearance in
the field at an earlier stage Of the canvass

Save the Trees.

There Is one thing connected with the beauti-
full shade trees Of Washington that calls for
early attention at the hands of either the public
authorities or private citizens, or, better still,
perhaps both. We refer to the necessity for
some steps that will secure sufficient supply o.
moisture TO their roots and particularly OF those
planted along the foot-walks aud carrisge-wsys
throughout the city. This is especially true of
the older ones, those set out before the matter
came into the hands of the intelligent and eff
cient gen lemen now charged with the pleas ant
duty of planting. An inspection will show tn at
in a large number of the old cases the brick or
concrete enclosure around them is so small az
only to accommodate the trunks, at their pres
ent increased size, leaving but little space for
the conduct of water to their roots, and in not q
few instances little or room for future growth.
The consequence is, that, even at this early
date in the summer, the leaves on many of them
are losing their yigOr and fading in color, fore.
telling speedy decay and early death, unless
helped along Dy larger earth space around
them and an increased and regular supply OF
water. This attention was not necessary in the
old orcer of things, when the foOt-wslks were
but partly paved, and the streets only loosely
covered with cObble-stOnes, or not at all. Then
sufficient water found its way through the
surface of the earth to keep up the natural
a
Now, however, with both carriage way and foot
walk covered with a water PROOF paving, the
natural channels to the roots are all closed up,
and the Only canal for supply is the very small
enclosure lett unpaved around their trunks. IT
lie necessary, therefore, that these spaces should
be enlarged very considerably, and at the same
time some OF the earth should be removed SO as
to leave the enclosure in each case in the form
of a basin, to receive and hold all the water
possible from falling showers. And not this
alone. The supply from rains should not be
depended on, but every person should see that
an extra supply of water Is furnished to all trees
on or in front of their premises at all seasons,
either through a stream from sprinkiing hose or
carried in a bucket, if necessa-y.
The tree commissioners, to whom the city
owes so much for its present beautiful appear
ance, a. well IS for what it promises to be in
the future, have been wise and far-sghted
enough to leave ample space about the young
trees they have set out, go that no enlargement
is necessary in those cases, for the present, at
least; but even with that precaution a regular
ard full artificial supply of water will be found
essential to vigorous and healthy crowd. In
less IL il furnished, we feel convinced that the
people CT Washington will have occasion at no
very distant day TO regret their neglect.
