A Startling Fact.

New York, March 1.-THE Gra-
phtc to-day says: "Some scientific
tests which have been in progress tor
several months by one of the most dis
tlngu'shed professors of agricultural
chemistry in the country have develop
ed rather a startling fact that the
sprou,ng qualities of last years crop
of No. 2 spring wheat have been serious
Iy damaged, owing to the excessive
beat which prevailed just before the
harvest of last year in various parts of
the West, notably Minnesota and 10
consequence of which, large quantity
of the wheat product is utterly ruined
by the blight. This fact is of incalcu.
able importance to farmers out West.
No. 2 spring is the grade which is
generally used for sowing purposes,
aud it is feared-unless the farmers
are promptly Informed of this timely
discovery as to the destruction of last
years produets, and make ample allow
ance for it 10 their arrangements for
sowing this spring-tbat the next crop
will BOT equal 81 per cent of the usual
product. Is is stated that damage to
tie sprouting capacity Of the kernel
Is not such as t. effect its value for mil
ling purposes Ou'wardly, to all ap-
pearance, the kernel is plump and un-
impaired. But it is the structural
interior growth which is affected. The
discovery of these facts is timely 10
deed, and if properly promulgated, may
avert pretty disasrerous consequences,
such as would surely follow on a
general use of damaged wheat for
sowing AT the same time the fact is
one Of great import ance to all who are
interested in the course of prices for
wheat.

REVOLUTION, open and defiant,
is presenting its wicked front to
the country again. Is it not about
time to sound the long roll at the
North, and shout once more
"We'll rally round the flag boys,
Rally once agan?'
Those who rally around the flag
cannot sleep while danger besets
the Union, the Constitution, and the
Government. 1t is about time for
the band to strike up and for the
boys to make the welkin ring with
"We'll rally once again!" Then
''the elephant will go round and
round when the band begins to

PRESIDENT HAYES might as
well begin now to prepare veto

ton laws as ut some later period.
The Beck programme will be car

interest of a selfish and partisan
desire to bre k down every barrier
against fraud before 1880, have de-
termined to follow the old Scotch
Kentuckian to the bitter end. A
good plan for him to adopt, in view
of the certainty that number OF

be to Autograph the first message Of

MATT CARPENTER aud the Peoria
NaEionaI Democrat, Notwithstanding
the difference in their politics have
met on common ground. Mr.. Carpeu-
ter says that If the extra session last
over thirty days, it will prove the ruin
of the Democratic party. They will
have the entire responsibility of the
legislative branch of the Government,
and. if the session is prolonged, they
will so disgust the country az to give
the next Congress to the Republicans.
The National Democrat remarks, with
considerable fervor: 'Gentlemeu! the
doom of Democracy is sealed 10 this
extra session. Mark what we say"
THE Greenbackers have fused
with the Democrats in the support
os Judge Cothren as candidate for
associate Justice against Judge 0.
Cole. The Wisconsin Greenback,
the state organ Of that party, says:
ain view of all the circum-
stances connected with the political
conditions Of the state, we are
strongly ofthe opinion that all Greenback
men in Wisconsi, should work for the
election of Judge Cothren. He was he
democratic candidate for congress in his
district last fall, but he retired from the
contest, using his vote and influence tor
the elect n of Owen King, the Green
back candidate. For this generous and
consistent action, the Greenback men
should remember him gratefully
THOSE interested in the welfare Of the
democratic party begin 70 realize hat unless
trusty, competent men are nomir sted the
republicans will eventually get control Of
the city government They are now quiet
ly working behind the scenes, and Will be
prepared 10 take advantage Of any mistake
m ade by democrats.-Democra
Well; the people might do far
| worse than to place the control of
affairs in this city in the hands of
republicans. "The Peoples move
ment:' few years ago resulted in
the election of board of street
commissioners, majority of whom
were of that political faith. They
managed affairs to the general salts
faction of all. They practiced
economy in every department of
the city government. They neither
stole the city's funds, nor did they
squander them in useless experdit-
ures. In fact, for the first and only
time in the history of Watertown,
the affairs of the city were conduct
ed upon business principles, by
business men, who having large
property interests were personally
concerned in favor of an honest and
economical government. They
eschewed politics in their official
capacity, and labored for the wei :
fare of the people, evidently bcliev-
ing that they served their party
best who served the city best. If
the taxpayers want to have repe-
tition of that kind of thing, let
them elect that class of men to the
common council. Simply electing
one or two is not enough. Let
the board have at least a majority
of such, SO that they may have a
controlling voice. 1t may not re-
dound to the credit and glory of
the democratic party, but it will be
thousands of dollars in the pockets
