Texas.

Texas is once more under the rule of
Democracy The Supreme Court of
the State declared the law under which
the late election was held unconstitu-
tional, but in face of the decision the
Democrats took possession of the gov
ernment, installed their Governor, con-
vened their Legislature, and at once
commenced general sweeping out of
every officer suspected of Republican,
ism. The offending court was ignored,
new one formed, composed of the
members of the old Confederate court,
and two new members added, both for
| merlv in the Confederate service. Leg
islation has been had, the effect of
which will destroy the free school sys-
TEN, change the jury laws, and practi-
cally disfranchise the colored citizens.
Texas offers splendid field for
Democratic reform, and from the ap-
pearance of things the reform will be
one far from encouraging to the friends
of progression. The Democratic ele-
ment is composed of some of the worst
spirits of the late Confcderacy. Des-
perate men, fortune hunters, fugitives
from justice, with few bad men oi
unlimited ambition to lead them, make
up a party that will stop at nothing tC
effect their purpose. We sincerely
hope that our fears in relation to the
State will not be realized, but as things
+ look at the present, our hopes have bu
little to cheer them. We trust that tht
Republican party in that distant Stat
will not lose heart, but keep up an &C
J, tive organization ready to take adYan
tage of anything that may present il
self. Freedom is progressive, an
even Texas, as dark as it may appea
o-day, must in time surrender to il
: reign.=[ Republic.

CULTURE OF THE ToMATo.-During the few
past years efforts have been made TO improve the
tomato in size, solidity, flavor and earliness of
maturity. There has been progress in all these
directions, not perhaps so much actual improve
ment as many of US believe, but still good toma-
toes have ia the new kinds sustained their repu-
tatioD. Old varieties seem to gradually give
way or else people tire of them, and they thus
disappear. We have no tomato the same as we
had thirty years ago, at least under the same
name, and yet we had them pretty large and
good kinds even at that day.
Without entering closely into the historical
part of this inquiry, we yet think our tomatoes
have really improved in smoothness and quality
as general thing, when anyone has taken any
interest in having good article and in tomato
culture there certainly has been marked i'm
provement. Recently there have heen brought
before the community several IDEAS worthy of
note in those who strive for the very best article
In regard to training, it is asserted that much
better fruIt-especially for eating raw-ean be
had from plants fastened to slant stakes, than
when plants allowed to run at will over the
ground, or even when they are fastened to slant
ing trellises. Heavy stakes sre required of
course, as the great weight of a plant in fruit
cannot be borne by light stakes
In regard to training the plants, much atten-
tion has been given to thinning the branches, es-
pecially when grown on stakes, and in shorten
ing back some of the branches to within a few
buds of where the fruit is to set Those who
have followed this practice judiciousIy report
good results.
But the latest novelty in tomato-culture is in
the matter of root-prunning in order to produce
earliness. In this matter some surprising re-
suits have been achieved according to those who
have given in their experience. While the plants
are young they are transplanted several times
which of course destroys some of the roots, and
after they are put out into their final resting
places spade is once in while thrust down
into the ground foot or SO from the main stalk.
In this of course size and perhaps quality is sa-
crifeed to few weeks earliness but many are
willing to pay this penalty for the sake of the
early dish. The principle here is much the same
as is often done TO get early grapes when a ring
of bark is taken off. The supply of food being
checked ;he result is earlier fruit, but with
slightly impaired favor.
These are the leading suggestions that have
been made in improved tomato-cuIture during
the past few years-not great improvements, it
is true, but still not without value.-Gsrmanto.s
