strength. On the whole the letter of Garfield
Is very uneven and fails to place him in that
commanding position which he might have
easily assumed. It is, however, in its most
essential parts fair statement Of the princi-
PIES OF ms party and will be SO accepted.
Inc World says: Garfeld's letter will
Oe decided disappointment to the stall
warts, and 1t is doubtful whether it will
please the independent voters any better.
Ahe independent voters are MT, as whole,
opposed to Chinese immigration. which Is the
most important topic of the letter after tl,e
improvement OF the Mississippi, and they
are interested in civil service reform which
Gartield's letter dismisses in q manner almost
as perlunctory and contemptuous as that in
winch It was treated by the Chicago conven-
tion. Garfield's letter, for whatever purpose
IL was framed, will certainly not attract votes;
ana II 1t expresses the convictions Of its au-
thor, Its author must be very badly off for
convictions. Garfield does not advance a
single reason why anybody should vote to
eject him president Of the United States, nor
IS any such reason known to us outside of his
letter.
The Herald says: Notwithstanding that
tue architects of the Chicago platform did
not plan it to hold Garfield, and that some
OF It's resolutions are in direct contradiction
OF honorable passages in his Congressional
career, he does not shrink from stepping
squarely on it. 1t need not astonish any body
that i'll his discussion of the national finances
ne uses phrases which imply tolerance
OF the perpetuity of greenbacks as perma-
nent part Of the public currency that in his
comments upon the subject of revenue legis-
lation he s,lrrenders his former convictions
Internationally to high "protective - fall air
and that in mentioning the topic of internal
he signifies to the south and
west his eagerness to assist in expending un-
told millions out OF the public treasury III
developing the Mississippi valley, and that he
assents to the prescription of the Chinese in
language adopted to prcpitiatc the hoodlums
of the Pacific coast.

Under republican form Of government
the mode of nominating, as we'll as the man
ner OF elcctins, the chief officers Of the ma
ton Is interesting to the people. Washington,
owing to his exalted character and invaluable
services to his country. was chosen first Pres
ldent under the constitution. Hc was re-
elected by nearly unanimous vote. During
his administration the federal and republican
parties sprang into existence. On Washing
tens retirement, john Adams, of Massachu-
sets, became by common consent the candi-
date Of the federal party for president, and
Thomas Jefferson Of the republican party.
Adams was CHOSEN president and jefferson
vlce-president, he having the next highest
number OF votes. In the year 1900 = caucus
OF NJ mbers of members Of congress was
held IN Philadelphia, which nominate rhos.
Jefferson for president and Aaron Burr for
vice-presldent. They were elected over John
Adams and Charles q. Plnckney. Mr.. Jrfier-
son was renominated and reelected in 1904
with George Clinton, Of New York, as vice
president, over CHARLES &. Pinckney and Ru-
fus King. James Madison was nominated by
!; congressional caucus in January, 1903, and
elected president by a large majority. He
was renominated III the same manner in 1921.
LII september OF the same year q convention
!, presenting eleven states was held in New
York, which nominated De Witt Clinton.
James Madison was reelected. In 1916 James
Monroe was nominated by a congressional
caucus, he receiving Is votes and w. IL.
Crawford 81. The tederaIsts named Rufus
King. Mr.. Monroe was elected, and in 1920
lie was reelected without opposition. In 1924
the congressional caucus system was opposed
by large portion of the republican party.
But 66 responded to the call, aud these nom
iuated William IL. Crawford for the presidell-
cy. Jackson, CLAY and Adams were also
Nominated by various states, and there was
no choice by the people. The house Of rep
resentatives elected John Quincy Adams.
Immediately after this election Andrew Jacx-
son was nominated by the legislature of len
nessee. That action was Endorsed by the
democratic party OF the country, and he was
elected in 1928 over Mr.. Adams.

his cattle as to meet the Chief Justice
on the road. He had properly drilled
his herdsman, who, with the tact of his
country, relished the plot of "doing"

great faith in the integrity of that
functionary. The Judges coach was
no sooner out of sight than the herds

A LOVERS ANSWER.

What is she like-my own, my queen of
Like every thing that God has made for love:
Like G, nSs d sHa nower and songs and sweet
A summer rose whose leaves have fallen
Blush after blush down to its perfect heart,
Th tu n., OF ner and sll her tender ways.
Ichoes ner tones; the brOoklet's Sabbling
Mimic her laughter: showers from an April
Her elisteuiug tears. Her smiles!-ah. ever
On the cool bosom of the sea they lie,
And ripple, ripple. ripple to the shore.
What is she like2 Like to no human thing.
The fragrant balmy breath of opening Spring
Seems thrilling with her presence every.
where:
All the sweet luscious fruits that summer
brings
Are like her words; the buttertiy's bright
wings,
0uiverinE in light, are radiant as her thought:
mat tangled beam of yellow sunlight, caught
An DAINTY meshes of thin spider-lace,
ls like her warmth of hospitable grace;
The spreading branches Of the tall palm-tree
Are like her all-embracinR charity.
What is she like? Would had power to telll
Like to sunset In its after-glow.
When ali the world is dusk and dark below,
And wooded hills are clothed in misty shruuds,
Then the long lines Of iisSt beneath the
clouds
Seem like dream Of sky beyond the skies:
In that deep hush feel the mysteries
That hide within the shadows Of her eyes,
And deeper. deeper, deeper grows the spell
As silent night above the dark earth broods-
That heavenly night wherein her soul doth
Calm night the mirror Of her solemn moods.

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

= To detect artificial butter, melt q
portion; 1t 1t does not foam up well and
bubble uniformly. while retaining the
brown particles in its mass, it is spu-
rious.
-Verbenas raised from the seed will
produce larger flowers and more of
them than on plants grown from a cut
ting. Seedlings, too, are nearly always
fragrant.
Charcoal pulverized and mixed with
water is highly recommended for re-
ieving cattle suffering from any de-
rangement of the stomach, such as
bloat, hoven, etc.
FOR butternut pie take one pint of
milk, one egg, 0ne-third of cup of but
ternut meats well pulverized, two spoon
fuls OF flour, one-haf cup of sugar, salt,
nutmeg. Bake like custard.
One of the many ways of taking
cold is by not keeping the mouth shut
when out in the sharp, cold air. The
tender membranes of the throat are ex-
posed to the chilling air, and conges-
ton ensues, in other words, the person
takes cold. The cold air should be
taken in through the nostrils. Man,
like the lower animals, should breathe
through his nose.-La,ssisg Republican.
Wagons or carts with broad tires
may be drawn over newly-plowed land
without cutting in, and on muddy roads
they are pulled with greater ease than
narrow tires, because the soil is packed
down and not cut up. The popular
prejudice in favor of narrow tires is
strange one, as it is impossible to keep
roads in repair where they are used.
They are also very hard on horses. If
you are about to purchase cart think
OF this and have it built with broad
tires.-N =. Herald.
Plants which are cultivated in pots
or tubs require a great deal of water,
and if they thrive well, should have
stimulating fertilizers. For hard
wooded, slow growing plants, flour of
bone is perhaps the best; a few table,
spoonfuls being forked into the soil of
the pot. For soft wooded, quick grow
ers, liquid fertilizer may be used.
This may be guano, teaspoonful to a
gallon of water; SCOT, two tablespoon
fuls to gallon, or liquid hartshorn. an
ounce to the gallon. Water the plants
with either Of these instead of clear
water once or twice a week, as the con-
dition of the plant requires.-Burting-
ton Hasckeye.
Roses do well in any ordinary gar
den soil that is free from any standing
water and well drained. Where there
is too much clay make the soil friable
by the application of wood and coal
ashes, lime, stable manure, etc. Where
the soil is too light, work in clay, muck,
leaf molds, to obtain sufficient body.
Pruning should be done in October;
also prune after the first Towering is
over. When roses are planted in the
spring it will be better not TO dig in
much manure about the roots, but
rather apply it as a surface dressing.
Stable manure, bone dust, guano, SCOT,
ETC., are good fertilizers for roses. In
selecting roses have an eye to beauty
of form, beauty of color, fragrance,
profusion and continuity of blossom,
vigor and healthfulness Of growth
