THE HAYES. .CONKLHNG WAR.
TCincinnati EnquiTer.1

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27-The Administration
conStrues Conkling's management of the New
York convention as an open declaration of
war 1t was an issue it did not seek, would
rather have avoided, and which, in fact, it en-
deavored to avoid even at the expense of just
criticism heaped upon it, A. B. Cornell was
a very convenient Mohammed to keep in the
balance to test the temper Of Senator Conk-
ling and at the same time be of utility to
Secretary Evarts, who has charge of New
York affairs from an Administration stand
point. Had Conkling refrained from his i'm
petuosity, and allowed Curtis resolution of
Endorsement to have passed there would have
been found convenient way to have over
looked Cornell recalcitrancy Now the issue
is joined, and not only Cornell, but all Of the
prominent Conkling officeholders in the State
will be gradually suspended. Friends of
President Hayes say that while he had reason
to believe that Conkling was not in accord
with the general principles underlying his ad-
ministration Of the presidential office, he did
not apprehend that the convention would so
utterly ignore giving some decided express
sion to national affairs. The platform is SO
buried in platitudes and generalities that
portions OF it are calculated to blunt even
an analytical comprehension; but the most
obtuse cannot fail to discern a vein OF cold
rebuke to the President running through por-
tions of it, and that portion which quotes from
his letter OF acceptance is regarded here
as an Endorsement Of good intention in
writing, but announcement of its practice.

poorly prepared to present attractions new

expensive stock companies have not yet

ing notice in advance Of the intention of the
New York Senator to oppose the Southern
policy, as well as that of civil service reform.
It is believed, too, that under Conklings bead
the opposition to Hayes can find a more con-
venient rallying point than under any other
leader. His course will undoubtedly have
the effect of bringing to the surface those who
secretly oppose Hayes, but up TO this time

be war to the knife.

The Fertility of Our Fields.

The researches Of Darwin ard other nata-
raists show that the fertility of our fields is
largely due TO the labOrs OF the common
animals burrow in the soil, taking into their
bodies, as they go, earth, from which to ex-
tract the nuBritive matters on which they
subsist, and then, coming to the surface, de-
posit the aon-nutritious portions OF the
earth in little heaps. These heaps accumu-
lating, produce O. superficial layer OF very
finely divided mold, which In the course OF
years forms stratum several inches thick,
eminently suitable for the growth Of plants.
The experiments on the habits Of the earth
worm in confinement by Won Hensen confirm
this view Il is thus to this little animal that
we owe good deal of our agricultural pros
