The Republicans Must Abandon Gorham
New York Evening POST

The ''holy cause" in which the United
States Senate has been wasting time is in a
bad way that is rapidly becoming worse.
The Tribune to-day, wisely advising the Re-
publicans to turn their attention 20 import

record of Mr.. Riddleberger which are objec-
tionable, and there is little in the repute of

Another slate was procured and the spirit
hand wrote: "De mortuis nil nisi bonum-
who are the critics? The men who have
failed in literature and art. Let those who
blame me who can do what | have done"
Here followed another dash and the demand,
"Put up a mirror on the table" This was
done by bringing in large mirror from a
dressing case in the next room. 1t was laid
on the table as indicated, and looking into
the glass, at first no one could see anything
but luminous haze. gradually gave way
and lost its amorphism to take the shape of an
underlined head and shoulders cut off like
a bust. As the fog cleared out of the glass it
became more and more evident that Bea-
cOnfield's picture was in the glass. 1t was
different from the cuts which have been
presented in the illustrated papers; it was
clearer and better; it was probably closer
portrait. 1t was almost utterly devoid of
color, and yet it was evidently flesh. There
was an unreality and yagueEess about il,
too, which were peculiar and weird After
a few moments it faded out, and the glass
resumed its ordinary appearance. A great
deal more writing was done, much of it
without any apparent cohesion or meaning,
but some with more than ordinary incision
and meaning This part of il was of con-
fidential character, however, and consisted
of messages to Queen Victori. Dean Stanley
and Ralph Dsraei. 1t would not be fair to
the family OF the illustriouS deceased to give
the details of these messages.

The Word Ensilage.

In the new supplement- 10 worcester
Dictionary we notice that the word ensilage
is defined as follows: "A mode of preserv-
ing vegetables fresh, as green corn fodder,
sugar cane, and other arundinaceous plants,
by burying them ia the earth in silo or
trench" Now in point of fact ensilage does
not and can not preserve vegetables fresh.
We are told i'm this very dictionary that
that the proper use of the~wOrd fresh is as in
the terms fresh news and fresh vegeta-
bles," and why in the world is so much
stress laid on "arundinacous plantSY On
turning to the body of the work we find
that the word arundinaceous means ''of, or
| like, reeds" But the method of ensilage
has for many years been practiced for
preserving clover, lucerne, the tops of
root crops, chicory leaves, mashed roots,
| brewers grains, and in general all sorts
of forage that can not readily be dried, no
matter whether the plants be gramlnaceous,
| leguminOus, chenOpOdiaceOus, or what not;
| in view of which fact the limitation of the
photographer is somewhat amusing. If the
intention had been to imply that thus far
ensilage has been commonly applied to the
| preservation of fodder corn in this country,
aSsuredly something would have been said
of plank and stone coverings, as well as of
earth; and of structures above ground and
under ground 1t was well enough, perhaps,
to grant, unreservedly, papers of natural
ization to this French word, and to direct,
as has been done, that it should be pro
nounced as if it were of English invention
but it would certainly have been better for
the permanent credit of the dictionary if
the word had been less incorrectly defined.
The dictionary maker of all persons, should
never do work in a hurry. He should most
carefully guard HIMSELF withal, from the de-
fusion that pedantry can by any possibility
take the place of precision.-Rural New
Yorker.

other kind will do well in some sections
until after acclimated, which may require
several seasons In Delaware they have, in
one portion of the State, corn especially
adapted to that region, and while other
varieties introduced there, and grown by its
side, often produce more, the 'old stand
ard'' gets over droughts, bad cultivation and
other drawbacks far better than its rivals.
Perhaps no new seed corn will stand the
change from one section to another and do
very we'll at the start; still it is certain that
we get splendid results by changing seed.
Recent experiments, however, have demon
strated that instead of changing seed entire
ly, crossing the seed is better, which is done
by planting it by the side of the old variety.

Oleomarxarine.

Oleomargarine, says the Rural New Yorker,
was first introduced surreptitiously, and is
now sold by the dark-lantern method. For
nearly ten years the dairymen have had to
contend with this secret foe. Laws have
been evaded and openly violated to damn
the reputation of American butter abroad.
Last year 100000 pounds of butter and
q, 900, 600 pounds of oleomagarine were ex-
ported. But for the oleomargrrine our ex-
ports of butter would have been between
so, 900, 600 and 6O,OO0,0 900 pounds. England
imports $50, 600 600 worth of butter annual
ly, and OF this $45, 900, 900 comes from else
where than here, giving US only about 10
per cent of the trade. She imports S25, OOO,-
600 worth of cheese, and of that, 5000, 600
worth. or about IS per cent, goes from the
United States. We can make better butter
and cheaper butter than other nations, and,
but for this oleomargarine fraud, we should
supply the markets of England.
