POttIng Plants,

The mold for potting plants should be light
and loamy. the fertilizing material used being
well decayed. II the coil is rich of itself, it is
better to be either very spsring with the fertil.
ger or to dispose Of it altogether. In the bot
tom Of the pot, place several small pieces
Of broken crockery or similar material to assist
the drainage; and in setting the plant be careful
to keep it well down in the pot and pressed
the mold should be about half an inch below the
level Of the top Of the flower pot. Slips should
be planted close to the sides Of the pot, and in
small pots.
When plant becomes pot bound, that is when
the roots have become matted around the sides
and bottom Of the pot, the plant as soon as it
has ceased blooming, should be repotted in a
larger pot. 1t is not necessary to remove any
Of the mold from the roots but simply TO fill IN
the tpace in the larger pot with new and rich
mold.
Plants kept in the windows should be turned
every morning or the light striking on one side
only, will draw the plant to that de 30 that all
its branches and leaves will turn toward the
window. The water in the ssucers should never
be applied TO the plants. In cutting slips OF any
plants, always choose the youngest branches ;
and cut of the slip at the junction of plant or
leaf. since the roots shoot more readily from
such joints. II you follow these directions and
put sufficient sulphate of ammonia to just faint
the water applied to your plants, you may cult-
vate with success almost any plant Country

New Jersey Politics.

THE PENDING ELEoTIos-MUcH INTEREST IN THE
LEdIsLArUHE-PRoBABII OF A REPUBLICAN,
VICTORY.
At the pending election in New Jersey no State
officers are to be chosen, and the campaign il
purely local one. Considerable interest is never
theless manifest, because of the important duties
to devolve upon tho members of the Legislature
about to be chosen. The adoption of the amend
ments to the Constitution will impose upon both
branches duties of peculiar responsibility and
delicacy. They effect in some cases radical
changes in the organic law of the State. The
remodeling or repeal Of statutes now in force
which conflict with the new amendments will be
task Of no little difficulty. The local govern
ments of several cities, jersey City no
tably, will have to be reorgaliZed and
their reconstruction on right principles Of local
government will require the exercise OF all the
ability and judgment the people can command
on the part OF their legislators. Both political
parties recognize the necessity of selecting their
best men, and, go far as nominations have been
made, there is little to complain of. Most of
the conventions, however for the nomination OF
Assembymen and State Senators are to meet
during the next ten DAYS.
The prospects of Republican triumph are
unusually good, aud the indications are that
both branches OF the Legislature will have work
ing Republican majorities. The Newark cleo
election s regarded by the Republicans as the
forerunner OF on equally splendid triumph all
over the State while it has much impaired the
confidence Of the Democracy in a victory for
their party.

French Furniture.

An American writes from Paris 1t is rather
interesting to note the difference between the
styles Of French furniture and American. With
us all pieces of furniture are solid and large, as
be6ts our trying climate and the grandiose pro-
portions of our dwelling houses French cabinet
work, under the influence OF our intense frosts
dry atmosphere and furnace heat, cracks and
springs, aud ultimately falls to pieces. Pretti-
ness grace and adaptability are more studied
than are strength and massiveness. The Orien-
tai styles in furniture coverings and carpets are
greatly in vogue. The heavy Smyrna and Turk
ish carpets have driven the more delicate Aubus-
son clear out Of the field. Satins in dark blue
and dark brown. embroidered with Chinese mon
sters in gold, and gay-col0red silks form the
most recherche coverings for the large arm-chsrs
that form part of the fittings Of every French
parlor. Rich materials for curtains and furni-
ture covering are not 30 exclusively used Az with
us. A material much III vogue for more econom-
ical furnishings is called satin delsine (woolen
satin.) 1t comes in all brilliant colors, and is
very effective though Of course less durable than
the costly silk reality. 1t ia curious fact in
French furnishing that our most popular and USE
full piece Of bedroom set, next to the bed it.
self, namely the bureau, should be wholly out of
vogue. A bureau no longer forms part Of the
furniture Of q modern French bedroom. 1t has
been replaced by n tall slender wardrobe, with
glass in its single door and fitted with shelves
only, the width not being sufficient to allow any
changing up side, as in our American wardrobe.
Then, too, the washstaDd ie usually made with a
top that shuts down and is fitted with drawers
to the floor. These two pieces of furniture are
supposed to do away with any necessity for a
bureau. The bed usually of far narrower pro-
portions,t than at honie," is fitted with spring
mattress, en- top Of which is laid q second mat
tress made Of wool, which wool, after year or
80 of use, gets matted and lumpy, and has to be
cleaned and REGARDED. The couch thus formed
is luxuriously comfortable, if troublesome in
tha long run.

carl schurx on the ono E,ec,,o,.

The Hon. Carl Schurz ia on a visit to New
YORK. and in conversation, on Friday, with some
friends was asked whether he thought the vote
in Ohio and the defeat there OF the Imitation
movement would have such an effect in the
West as to definitely put that issue out of our
politics for the next year, in reply to which he
said it WAS very questionable. Imitation is very
strong in the West. and it commands a large
majority OF the Democratic party in that region,
excepting, perhaps, in the extreme North,
western States, including Illinois. II the intla-
tionists had been beaten by q very large maiori-
ty in Ohio, the result would probably have dis
couraged them so much as to induce them to
give lt up but the majority being small they
may feel warranted in trying again, and 90 on
with the organization OF legal-tender clubs,
which they have already begun. and which they
intend to establish on large scale. Besides,
the OHIO election returns SHOW that while a
small number Of hard-money democrats voted
against Allen, much larger number of soft
money republicans voted for him. Whilst he
dd not look upon the election AZ decisive, it
was an exceedingly important one, inasmuch as
1t showed the inability of the inflationists to
drive everything before them with the cry of
hard money on their own chosen field. 1t GER
talnly has saved the country from an immediate
danger. He believes that the initiation demo.
Gratis in the West, sore over their defeat, NAV
currency democrats Of the East and make
trouble within the party, and he is
apprehensive lest they NAV receive
help from the Southern democratic.
As to the future he holds himself independent
Of party ties and influences, and prefers to leave
the door open to act with that one of the two
parties which, as he pertinently remarks, shall

THE MAINTENANCE OF SPECIE PAYMENT

Arguing the resumption question, the as
sertion is frequently made that specie payment
is always in danger Of being suspended by some
sudden panic or business revusion, and it is even
declared by soma that no instance can be shown
of country where such suspensions have not
frequently taken place. There is, in this large
element of fallacy, and considerable share OF
untruth. In the first place, our own experience
under the old system Of State banks-if anything
40 diversified in character and 30 disorderly in
many respects, could be called system-afrords
no basis for Judgment. The banks Of the differ
ent States had different laws to operate under
some stringent and safe, others loose and insult
fcient. As natural consequence, banking in
one section Of the country would be conducted
on sound principles, and in another without any
soundness or any principle, whatever. The wild
cat operations that preceded the suspension Of
1887 were in themselves not only enough to
cause panic but certain to destroy the ability
Of the banks to maintain specie payment. So,
also in 1857 the same condition prevailed, though
there were, at that time some banks which did
not suspend, as, in 1861, the banks Of the Paci-
hc Coast maintained the use of specie, and have
never discon tinued 1t.
What we argue is that our own experience Of
specie suspensions, which all occurred while our
banking was irregularly and loosely conducted
under State laws, prove nothing as to the ability
to maintain speoie-payment under a well-reguls-
ted, sound system Of banking, and turning to the
examples Of other countries, We find this opin-
ion amply fortified. The old banks of Europe,
such as that at Hamburg, and those Of Italy nev-
or suspended, unless they were plundered, for
the simple reason that their issues of paper rep
resented coin actually in their vaults, and in la
ter times, the Bank of England has not suspen-
ded specie payment for more than half a GEN.
tury. The resumption brought about in 1921,
by the "cash payments" act of Parliament, has
been maintained ever since, even in periods Of
severe financial stress
1t will not be asserted that it is possible for
banks, even the most sound and well conducted,
to maintain specie payment under all circum-
stances. We have but recently had the exam
pie, in San Francisco, where specuations and
reckless financering involved one bank and caus.
ing temporary panic, not only suspended that
one institution but several others So true it Is
that safety and stability are only assured by the
observance OF safe and stable rules Of action
But it needs only to be shown at this time that
If the business of the country be carefully and
prudently conducted, there need be no suepen-
sion OF specie payment after it ehall be once du-
y resumed, and this we believe il a proposition
perfectly supported by the experience of the
lworld

One Of the most amusing stories from Ohio,
since the election is that some Of the Democracy
have undertaken acts OF retaliation and punish
ment upon the Germans for voting the Republi-
can ticket. In Chillcothe they are going to ell
act an ordinance shutting up the saloons,
and there are horrible threats Of the same ma
ture uttered in Cincinnati. Probably the Ger
mans will be able to stand this as long as the re-
taliators, and it will be great assistance to the
Republicans OF Ohio, next year, to have the
German vote further aienated from the Demo-
Gratis, result which such measures will surely
bring about.
