Training Tomatoes.

Tbs tomato cop has become one Of
the most important in the domestic as
Well as in the market garden, and |
should be carefully looked after. There
was q time when the eating of tomatoes,
raw and cooked, was overdone, but
they have become q stock fruit, to be
eaten for salad or sauce, and are still
more useful for Aavoring soups and
other dishes. In the East they have
been used for a long period in the latter
form, as an indispensable article of diet:
A little care in training the plants and
moderate trimming will greatly promote
their fruitfulness, advance the time of
their ripening md improve their flavor.
1t is we'll to have them set out on the
sunny side of wall or fence against
which they may be trained on a slanting
trellis, so as to afford free circulation
of air behind and at the same time ex-
pose the fruit constantly to the sun.
The sun is essential to the perfection OF
the fruit as much as with cherries or
apples. 1t is often excluded from the
tomatoes by the rank growth of vines
and leaves, and so the fruit is slow in
coming to perfection. Indeed it never
does come to perfection without the
ripening influence Of the suns rays:
Another great advantage Of training
tomatoes in the manner suggested i:
that they are kept cut of the dirt, arc
always clean and ready for use and are
not liable to rot. The common mode
of letting the plants take care OF then!
selves, and the fruit lie' on the ground
exposes the tomatoes t6dirt and rot ant
vermin, from which they may easily b'
preserved by little extra pains.
Where trellis or frame cannot b.
made it is well to put brush on tn
ground before they have had muc
growth and allow the plants to run o.
r the brush. This will keep the fruit on
of the dirt, and an occasional modera'

The Star Route FiascO.

No one is SUI pri-ed at the farcical
ending of the star route prosecutions.
Whatever hopes the public had of a
vindication Of law in the conviction of
the gang Of plUndeTers were long ago
abandoned The sham legal battle that
has gone on in the Criminal Court at
Washington for a fortnight. the end of
which was timed so nicely as to be
reached after the elections of Tuesday,
deceived nobody.
The proceeding by information, in
stead of by Indictment, gave Brady and
his pals the opportunity they desired,
which was simply to purchase immunity
at the price of their silence. Even had
Indictment been resorted TO, the plea of
limitations was conveniently ready at the
same price. By quashing the informa
ton, the odium was shifted upon the
governments law officers. Whereas had
limitations been pleaded on indictment,
it would have amounted 10 a confession
of guilt.
The history Of the proceedings almost
compels the conviction that the criminals
forced the government TO file the infor-
nation instead Of procuring an indict-
ment.
The ia=co is easily accounted for. The
party could not afford to have the gang
convicted. While free they are dumb.
Convicted they would be dangerous.
Their infamy will shortly be only mem
ory like that of Belknap and Robson
aud therest of the Grant crowd.
Corkhill is a ready scapegoat, and on
him the reproach OF the failure will be
conveniently thrown. True, he is not
alone, for the moral MacVeagh will
share the buIden with him. The party
needed a sacrifice. and whether willingly
OF not, DIr. Garfeld's model of an At
torney General and his subordinate were
the victims
The party is spared from damaging
revelations, the administration has got
ten lid Of a huge elephant, and its pre-
deces-Or is in effect credited with start
ing and botching the Job Whatever
were the original plans, they were altered,
it matters not b. whom. The contIac-
tors will be saddled with the failure.

The FOntaine Engine a Failure.

The wonderful "Fontaine" lOcomO
tive, for which great results were promis-
ed, and which was to have been given a
trial of speed shortly on the New York
division of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
has been suddenly sent back to the shops
at Paterson, where it was constructed.
The engine was taken from Philadelphia
to Altoona for preliminary work, where
its peculiar construction of upper and
lower driving wheels was carefully ex-
amined by the Master of Mechanics of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
and afterwards given a trial. This trial
was not satisfactory to locomotive ex-
perts. They said that the damage to the
tracks was greater than the compensa-
lion in expected economy in time An
officer Of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company says that if the engine was
given a straight track and one car it
could undoubtedly make good time, but
if tried under the same circumstances as
engines on this road are the results would
be very unsatisfactory.

An English Woman Speaks for Ire


Miss Helen Taylor. step daughter of
John Stuart Mill, is in Dublin, deliver
ing addresses in behalf of Ireland. For
an English woman the following senti-
ments are very strong:
"Were 1t in my power, gladly to-day
would be an Irish woman. Better TO
be OF the oppressed than share the dis
honor and infamy of the oppressors. The
English people really don't know what
is taking place in Ireland. What is
really depressing Ireland is not the Eng
lish people, but the mean, pitiful Jeal-
ousy of the individuals who now WELD
power in the name OF that people. l
know whereof l affirm. tell you with
absolute certainty that the tide OF sym
pathy for your wrongs is rising slowly
but surely in England. When | 60 back
| will tell in England what L have seen
and heard in Ireland. When the women
of England know what IS being done IN
Ireland | am sure that before long teel-
ing of disgust and contempt of the Min
istry now in power will manifest itself
among them. You are accused OF lille
gal proceedings Mr. Parnell, for crltl-
cising Mr.. Gladstone. was sent 10 JAIL !
am not lawyer, but say it is not illegal
to denounce Mr. Gladstone, the wicked,
the INSCRIPTIONS, the cruel; to denounce
with the scorn and loathing they deserve
the crimes which he is committing against
your people. l wish your good work God
speed. hope before long that you will
find help and cooperation in England for
the carving on of this work. The Fog
lish people must soon wake to the num-
Der of crimes perpetrated in their name.
Miss Taylor's father, in his great work
on Political Economy takes, as all his
leaders know, the strongest ground in
favor of a reform of land tenure in Ire
land. THE actual cultivators, he says
in one place, should be enabled to be-
come in Ireland what they will become
in neutrality-suspicious. of the soil which
they cultivate" He further said, after
describing Irish landlordism, that when
landed property has placed itself on this
footing, it ceases to be defensible, and
the time has come for making some new
arrangement in the matter"

Thomas Murphy, when in the custom
house at New York, was Investigated by
a Republican committee of Congress.
They found that the proceedings in his
Office were reprehensible; and the mer.
chants Of New York joined in the de
mand Tor Murphys removal The facts
and pressure were so strong that Grant
was compelled to remove him; but in
order to show his affection for him Grant
left his duties iu Washington. went 10
New York, and dined with Murphy.
Arthur is also one of Murphy's special
friends, and when lie came to New York
on Thursday, TO assist in the election,
Murphy, who is running for Congress
in Fernando Woods district, was among
the first to call upon him. 1t was part
of the object of Arthur's visit to New
York to assist the stalwart Murphy in
mis- canvass.
