an article Of ours in which we claimed that
Gartield's election foreshadowed the nomllia-

the matter is now settled SO far as Garfield is

The republican papers of the Pacific slope
ascribs the loss ofNevada to Sharon's candi-
dacy for the United States senate. They
claim that his absence from his post of duty
at Washington, broken only by his OCCASION
al presence in the senate chamber, rendered
him very unpopular at home, and made it an
easy matter for the democrats to defeat him
with Fair, and carry the state for Hancock.

Eastward the star of the Celestial empire
that the Labor Union of Omaha is preparing
to greet the threatened influx of Cinnamon
in that city with powder and ball. An Omaha
dispatch, under date of the LIST inst, to the
st. Paul Pioneer Press says:
considerable excitement exists among
Omaha workingmen regarding a report that
the Omaha water works company Intend to
import Cinnamon from the Pacific coast. Last
night the executive committee of the Labor
Union held a secret meeting and ordered 250
| stand of arms and 10000 rounds of ammuni-
ten, laid the city oil into districts and made
arrangements to sound the alarm by a fire
alarm system at any time the Cinnamon shall
arrive. 1t was said that the Cinnamon were
to be protected by United States troops in
case they were assaulted. 1t is safe to say
hat no Cinnamon can be employed in Omaha
in any large bodies without bringing OH a
bloody riot.'
Commenting OH the above the New York
Commercial Bulletin uses the following Ian
guage:
Snow that the election is over, and nothing
is to be gained for buncombe by pelting the
poor Chinaman, one might suppose our hood
lums would let him alone, at least until there
is some future political use tor him.. We APP
prehend, however, that such is not to be the
rule, especially in Nebraska. Considering
that these Chinamen, under the constitution
and laws, are entitled to precisely the same
protection that is accorded to any other class
of people, this demonstration Of the Labor
Union is simply that of a band of organized
rioters. If they venture to execute theil
threats, we have no doubt the government
will deal with them accordingly.

SALES STOPPED.

Our New York exchanges are apprehenu-
ing a stringency in the money market on &C.
count of the action OF Mr.. Sherman, the sec
rotary of the treasury, in declining to pur-
chase any bonds save those to the amount OF
$l3,OOO,O0O which mature Dec. 81, 1So0.
Heretofore the secretary has purchased bonds
to the amount of 81, 800, 900 weekly. This
outflow of money from the United States
treasury relieved the money market from
pressure and virtually headed off the Wall
street "hears'' III their efforts t" deprnss it.
In regard to this action the Bulletin (rcp.)
says: "That instead of paying out the sur
plus revenue as it ~accumulates he will hoard
it just at the season when currency is always
most needed when thu money market is most
apt to be STRINGENT The same paper says
the secretary will find it necessary to respect
public protest and revoke this action. Ii
commenting upon Mr.. Sherman's notification
Of his proposed action the New York World
uses the following language: "The author of
this notification is the same John Sherman
who has been making speeches for the past
three months commenting the republican
party to the confidence of the country on ac-
count Of the enormous surplus of revenue
which that party had accumulated by securing
good harvests in America and bad crops in
Europe, and which it had devoted to the pur-
chase of bonds not yet due! When this pre-
tense has served its turn it is Abandoned
abandoned on the very day on which it is
shown that it has served its purpose. The
trick thus confessed is of precisely the same
character as the trick by which railway di-
rectors sometimes protect themselves by bor-
rowing money just before a meeting of the
stockholders to pay unearned dividends. 1t
is very likely the same device which Mr.John
Sherman adopted at the beginning of his
financial career to force the balances of his
wildcat bank, if his wildcat bank had any
stockholders. In another point of view the
uispatch is significant. 1t shows the prompt
tude with which Mr.. Sherman forecloses his
mortgages. 1t has been well understood, al
most ever since the nomination Of Gen. Gar
field, that Mr.. Sherman only consented to
condone the treachery with which Gen. Gar
field allowed himself to be transformed at
Chicago from Mr.. Sherman's agent to a cam
didate on his own account, on condition that
he should continue Mr.. Sherman in the COLI
troll of the treasury; and Mr.. Sherman takes
this prompt and public way of serving notice
cial policy of the Garfield administration"

Except in very severe climates, the
fall is an excellent time to plant fruit
trees During October and November
all things are propitious; earth, air,
condition of trees, roads, everything
Ii the leaves still adhere, let them be
stripped by hand; they will come off
| easily after one or two sharp frosts. Ii
left on they will carry off more moist
ure than the roots are in a condition TO
supply, and the tree will be more orless
injured.
AS to the situation of the orchard,
low places must be avoided. Except
in rare instances, early or late frosts
will cut off the hopes of the
fruit-grower in such positions. Some
times ground which is not suitable
for cultivation may be advanta-
geously used for an orchard; but gen
orally it is advisable to select the best
ground on the farm. For if the right
varieties are planted and properly cared
for. no other crop of equal extent will
be SO profitable.
In fall planting small mound OF
earth should be raised around the tree,
the last thing to be done. This holds
it steady during the storms of winter,
and is great protection, dispensing
entirely with stake, and superior to it
every way. The right size of this mound
is about foot and 4 half in diameter
and a foot high.
The planter must not forget that his
tree is not post, but a living organ
ism, requiring the right conditions for
its healthy existence. preparing the
hole to receive it, let it be made large
out in their natural position; if foot
or more wider all the better.
Just before planting the bruised and
broken ends of the roots should be cut
off, with smooth sloping cut on the
under side. To do this properly. hold
the tree in the left hand, with the top
inclining backward.
One person can plant a tree, but two
will do the work better. Let one pre-
pare fine soil, the very best to be had.
and shovel it in gently, while the other
holds the tree in place, and works this
fine soil well in among all the roots with
his fingers, SO as to leave no vacant
places. The tree, when planted and
before the mound is made, should be
rather less than two inches deeper than
it stood in the nursery-enOugh to al
low for the settling of the ground.
In very severe climates n,ulchtng
would be projections; but the ground
mice would be sure to take refuge in
the loose material, and gnaw the trees
badly. But mulching should by nc
means be neglected in spring. Old
straw, corn-stalks, or anything of that
kind, put around the trees plentifully in
spring, will save them from the effects
of drought.
Pruning, also, should not be done in
the fall. The French adage is good:
Prune early or late, no better time
than March,
Fences, gates and bars should be seen
to; for it is useless to plant trees and
then turn in the cattle.
The foregoing is for those who obtain
good trees from known nursery of
character and standing. Poor trees arc
among the very poorest kinds of prop
erty, and are dear as gift with pay for
planting them.-COr. Examiner and
Chronicle.

An IncreduIOus Editor.

announcing that an Irish landlord, MIR.
r. w. Gason, was fired at to day near
Borrisokane, drew forth from bystander
a rather astonishing story. A few years
ago one of the Dublin papers published
a sensational announcement that Mr..
Gason's brother. Mr.. Samuel Gason. Of
Tullamore, had been shot by some
Rory of the Hills. The gentleman in
question read with feelings of sorrow
the news of his own sad end, and ven
tured to write letter to the editor. say
ing mildly that he had not been shot, and
was, to the best of his knowledge, alive
and well. To his surprise, the edit Dr.
only reproved him for his audacity in
contradicting par put in on excel
lent authority. Mr.. Gason took train
for Dublin, and. presenting himself in
the editorial sanctum, personally de-
manded a correction of the statement
that he had been barbarously murdered.
The editor, with beautiful faith in his
correspondent which must excite adj
miration, refused to be hoaxed by a
pretended Mr.. Gason, the real one
being dead and buried. In fine, it was
not until that gentleman sent letter,
threatening legal proceedings, that the
editor knocked under"

REST.

His mother was n Princes child,
His sire n crowned King;
There lacked not to his wishes wild
What the bread earth could bring:
Strong knees were supple at his word,
Swords glimmercd at his Will:
Brave fortunei but it wearied him
His spirit thirstcd still.
For him the glorious music rolled
OF singers silent long;
The Roman and the Grecian told
Their wars of Right and Wrong;
For him philosophy unveiled
Athenian Pla;os lore;
Might these not serve 10 stead a life?
Not these, he sighed for more.
He lovcd-the truest. n west lip
That ever lover pressed
The queenliest outh of all the South
Long love for him confessed
Round him his chldren's joyousness
Rang siivcry and shrill:
Thrice happy! save that happiness
Lacked Somcthiug-Something still.
1t camel the studded sccptcr lay,
An unregarded thing:
Velvets and gold did bravely hold
The body of the King.
Why! strange that Love, and Lore, ant
Sway
Looked ever on before,
And those pale quiet lips of clay
Asked nothing-nothing more!
