The Elections should All He on the
same Day.
lSt. Louis Republican, q. |

Congress has authorized the State of West
Virginia to ignore the law requiring all the
States to elect their Congressional Repre-
sentatives upon the same day in November,
except where such an election would re-
quire a change in the State Constitution,
but it is not easy to see why the obligation
of the statute is not removed for all States
if for any. The bill granting this privi-
lege to West Virginia seems to have elected
no debate, yet there cannot we'll be any rea-
son Why one State should be given a special
exemption from the mandate enforced
against Others. There are on the contrary
good reasons why Congressional elections
should all occur on the same day, and if
West Virginia finds itself overrun with i'm
ported voters next October, its people will
very likely appreciate the fact that they
had better never have asked this privilege.

GRANT IN EUROPE.

Wherever he has appeared in Europe,
General Grant has been received with high
honor, but hitherto he has not been 50 en-
Enthusiastically received in any of the coun-
tries on the continent as he was in Eng
land. Now, however, We have the pleasure
of noting the fact that in two instances at
least the continent has equalled England in
paying court TO the conqueror of the great
American rebellion. At The Hague and
other places in Holland and at Berlin the
Dutch and the Germans have heaped such
honors upon General Grant as became them
and him. In Berlin, on last Thursday,
the Crown Prince gave him a special audi
denoe, and the Emperor expressed his re-
gret that his physicians forbade his receiv-
ing the illus,rious American. On Friday
the Prince gave him grand dinner as
Potsdam, and on Monday, by order OF the
Crown Prince, a grand military review was
given for General Grants entertainment,
and dinner to him, arranged by Bismarck.
This in view, of Prince Bismarck's
Messing a pmatic duties, in connection
with the Congress Of diplomats, must be re-
garded as peculiarly marked compliment.
General Grants time in Berlin has been
entirety occupied in receiving honor and
oyatiors. He was to have left yesterday
Tor Copenhagen where he with likewise, no
doubt. he received witk the greatest oolat.
ii france and Italy were not as warm in
the reception OF the great American as their
southe-,l blood had led Us to expect, the
no..hern Europeans have shown warmth
ri admiration for him that has exceeded
Ablic anticipation. The warlike Teuton
appreciates such a military hero as Grant,
and the Dutch and the German blood, if
usually cold, has proved generous enough
In this instance. These ovations to the late
general of our army and the late chief
magistrate of our country are grateful to
all Americans, and should be accepted by
them, as Grant himself accepts them, as 90

The young tree must be treated very

Hoed crops will answer in young orchard.
Sowed crops will do much harm to young
trees. 1t is a good plan to keep young
trees mulched- Itprevents the rapid evap-
Grafton Of moisture from the soil, keeps
the surface mellow, prevents the soil from
freezing and thawing in winter, and becom-
ing over-heated in summer. Whether to
cultivate or not can be told BY the looks

good and the growth all right, and the
trees bear wellof fine fruit, they are doing
enough even in grass. To Judge of the
