Farmers in their hurry to rush
along their Springs work" should
not allow themselves to commit the
grave error of plowlug their land be-
fore it becomes dry enough. The
land should be in such condition be-
fore blowing as to have moisture
enough in it to make it crumble when
moved. II it is too wet (unless very
light land) it will be composted into
clods which will dry and remain thus
during the entire season, Flowing
land when it is too wet does more
harm than good, and should never be
practised.--(Lswiston journal.

We hope Democrats will put their
hands into their pockets freely to aid
the destitute rolored emigrauts of the
West. The latter's own ignorance
has been less the cause of their dis
treps than their blind trust in the bad
advice of designing white Republic

issue the Democrats have always
proved the truest friends Of the black

thoroughly worth living tor its ex

WASHINGTON, Jan. G.-Congross ia not
likely to find much to do when It rcassemblcs
tomorrow. Tho Legislative bill which has
boen 30 confidently expected tomorrow will
not DO ready until next week. and the Army APP
preparation bill. which is to take precedence OF
the Legislative or Salary bill. will not DO
reported until tho end OF this week.
Mr.. Hewitt ia expected here this woek to give
the bill it's finishing touches. but II IL not likely
that 1t will DO completed before Thursday. An
effort will be made to adjourn over Wednesday.
Jan. 8. out OF respect TO an anniversary not
much celebrated OF late years, and another ad-
journment will probably be had on Friday over
Saturday. so that the working days OF tho wcek
are likely to be few. The first business
to como uppermost tomorrow will bo tho
Geneva Award bill. on which a vote must be
reached before Thursday. rs that day ia fixed
for the consideration Of Banning's Army Reor-
Ranization bill. This bill takes precedence Of
everything but an appropriation bill. and II Is
claimed by some that II ought 20 take preoe-
