stated that the number of persons
from the North looking TO this section
TO invest is increasing every week. HI
sends no less than seven, and ire
quently as many as twenty-five, every
week, and many Of them are supplied
with abundant capital and propose
making large investments. They are
principally from Ohio, Indiana. ILL.

seem to prefer fruit farms, though a
considerable number desire stock
farms and grazing lands.
He is now negotiating with a party
for the sale Of 1000 acres on Walden'e
Ridge, near Dayton. Tenn, for fruit
and vegetables; and two gentlemen
from Michigan are prospecting in thi.
locality for large farms for CROWN,
purposes. A few days since, he se
cured su option on 1000 acres on Wal

either by Governor Cornell or by jury

chance to strike" an elevated or even a

between the republicans and democrats,
with an outlying squad of six .Tammany

the sixty-one republicans would pair and

If the New York democrats have any

put as etfectual a stopper on Mr. John

He is as near republican as he can be and
call himself by any other name, and the
sooner he is forced to assume his true col
ors the better. The recognition of John
Kelly now would mean the defeat of the
democratic party IN New York at the next
important election; providing of course
that the republicans would offer him
enough, and experience justifes US in
assuming that they would

Suppose the Albany deadlock should
last through the session? What harm
would ensue to the public interests? The
usual tax and revenue bills and some stat
utes concerning the codes are really al
most the only legislative measures which
positively demand attentions The cat
and-dog relation to each other of the half
breeds and the stalwarts and the s'strik-
ing attitude of the Kearney Boyd Kelly
gang, make it absurd to expect any statu-
tory changes of value in the municipal law

Wen, nobody ever said he did The whole
story was lie, as matter of course, and
no one had any other idea of it.
The Union states that ''the Republican
party has nothing to do with individual
concerns" The above is rather enigmati-
cal, and conveys little meaning, but if it
intends to say that said party is merely a
congregation of persons intent on their
own personal interest, and caring for no
one else, it is undoubtedly right

ARTHUR AND REFORM.

In these columns are printed an article
OF Geo. w. Curtis in regard to civil service
reform that is worth the attention of re
publicans. An instance of the workings
OF the present system is here at home, We
have it amongst US Our postmaster has
as few qualifications for the place as a
man,Rell could; and yet he holds The only
federal position in the town worth having:
not because he is fit man for the place.
but because he rendered the party service
OF a questionable character in the Lousi-
ana steal of 1876. The post office is car
ried on in most slipshod and inefficient
manner, but the postmaster is a politician
who has more regard for the party than
his own honor, and in consequence, he
remains Here is an opportunity for civil
service reform.
The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1882-01-10

reform, he does not turn and laugh
against reformers. but against himself
1t is by fhistest that the President is now
being tried, and it is doubtful if he has
yet furnished any evidence whatever OF
regard for administrative reform except
that he has not removed either the Collec.
tor or the Postmaster at New York
What does his conduct show? Unquss-
tionably, if he were much interested IN the
subject, he would have sought to retain
Mr.. James as Postmaster General. Had
that been impossible because of private
engagements previously undertaken by
Mr.. James, the President would have
replaced him by some man of decided
opinions favorable to reform. Mr. Howe
is an excellent man, but Mr.. Howe, as sue
cessor to Mr.. james, is, as he would him
self admit ludicrous from the point of
view of reform. But Mr. Howe as Post
master-General, supported by Mr. Hatton
as his first assistant, is, in that view, ex-
quisitely comical. Add to this the appoint
ment of collector at Chicago because, as
reported Senator Logan declared it was
Senatorial appointment, apd that of
postmaster at Pittsburg because Senator
Cameron nodded approval, and that of
collector at Oswego in New York because
of devotion to the late ''stalwart machine
in the state, and the position of the Presi-
dent upon this question becomes more
clearly defined. His action can not be
held, even by the most optimistic observer.
to indicate any serious desire that appoint
ments should be made solely for public
reasons of fitness, and not for those of
party management or personal intrigue
The President throws upon Congress
the responsibility of reform, but his con
duct hardly invites Congress to regard
his word. President who sincerely
wished to break up abuses would
show plainly that he did not intend to sub
NIT to Congressional dictation; that he
meant to remove only for legitimate rea
sons; that honest and efficient officers
should be re-appointed; that, so far as his
power extended, minor appointments
should be made for proved merit only;
andthat to- levy political assessments upon
government clerks would be To. earn hiss
displeasure All this an Executive
heartily in earnest could do. The change
produced would be temporary, indeed, for
it would depend upon himself. It would
involve contest with the Senate, in which
be might be sometimes baked, as Presi-
dent Hayes was baked in the nomination
of Theodore Roosevelt But his action
would wonderfully arouse and educate pub
lie opinion, and hasten an effective reform.
Such conduct, indeed, would require great
courage and address and patriotism. 1t is |
not to be expected of President who is
not thoroughly persuaded of the necessity
Of reform. President Arthur is not such /
President. He will honestly go, as he /
frankly says, as fast as Congress authorizes
lin to 90, and he asks Congress to enable
lim to continue the work of the Civil Ser
rice Commission. Public opinion must
iirect itself to Congress.

Forcing Rhubarb.

Outside of places where there are
professional gardeners, the forcing of
vegetables is very little known in this
country. People in general are content
with "things in their season. and do
not trouble themselves to force or re-
tard. Perhaps the easiest vegetable
to force is rhubarb, and by taking a
little trouble, material for pies and
sauce my be had some weeks in ad-
vance of the supply from the open
ground. The things needed are clumps
of rhubarb roots, soil, and dark warm
place. The roots should be dug be
fore the ground freezes. As fine rhu.
barb as we ever saw was forced in a
barrel or cask; the roots, packed in
layer of soil and surrounded by it.,
the cask covered tight, and set near
the furnace in the cellar A box to
hold the roots, and set in a cupboard
or closet in the kitchen will answer ;
or box or barrel may be placed in the
kitchen. Keep moderately warm, and
see that the roots are sufficiently
moist. A few roots will give an aston
ishingly abundant supply, much more
tender and crisp and violently sour
than the out door crop.-Anerica,,
4gricult,rist.
