and delivered 10y aud between people
who have no place ON the floors OF eth
er house, guaranteeing measures for
men and men for measures. The svndi-
cate of these traders may he named on
the fingers OF one hand. They are not
known to the esteem of the community,
and but little respect is due OF given
them outside the arena of politics. Yet
they possess an influence, and employ
arts which dazzle and delude many who
would not go astray or be misled in any
other sphere of life. They have at their
bidding scores of henchmen-'' vultur-
es.' as some one has ventured to pub
liciy call them-who continually watch
and prey and spy for their employers
and themselves. The chief influence in
Annapolis this winter is one which has
been felt i'll the city of Baltimore. where
it can defeat or delay until the exactious
it demands are complied with. 1t is cow
ardly and crinGing when it is in danger,
and brutal when it feels secure.
There was d time when public meas
ures We're matured in open debate and
men made their places by the mental
qualifications and good character which
they displayed. Such an arena would
be no stage for those who direct affairs
in these times. They resort to the clos
ct or caucus. where men are disciplined
with shut doors and the seal of Secracy
set upon every lip. Nor is one party or
faction better than another i'll this re-
gard. They all have their " bosses and
their "rings,' which do so much of the
governing and direction of public affairs
that we have almost begun to look upon
men as the struggles, in fact, of one or
the other of the great parties into which
the people naturally divide.
In every party some direction of cam
paign details may be necessary and toler-
ated. but it does not follow that the sue
ccSSful ward manager should hencetorth
become the dictator and master of
those he has led to success. Yet such
theory has grown into an established
practice. Democrats have deceived
themselves with the notion that through
the ballot-hox could be achieved "re-
form within the prrty.' The men who
have made themselves the party
hold the ballot box and count the re-
turns, They do more-they pack the
primaries, select their instruments in ad-
vance, count them into office. and use
them as they have occasion. Every
year pledges and promises have been
made and violated. No return is posi-
BILE until these bad influences are swept
away, and the power derived from the
great majority of the people becomes
centred in men who arc responsible to
constituencies and not in the hands of
otfceholders. Fresh names and clean
men must be brought forward for the.
work the people need to be done. The
conservatism of the State. which is as
much opposed to party broils and inde-
cent scrambles for place as to mislule
and extravaganza or corruption, demands
the change. and will have it.

Declines the Offer.

/, The Charlestown school declines ac,
,ceptng the offer of Mr.. +. Hughes to
another spelling bee: they are willing fo
Mr.. Arthur Logan to carry off the palm,
as the champion speller, and are glad to
know that the pedagogue had to resort
to words out of the American spelling
book. We are sorry Mr.. Hughes feels
so badly over his failure in spelling the
word that has puzzled more learned heads
than his: and also regret that the remarks
of one OF our young ladies have so grieved
him. We hope Us the sunny days make
their appearance. that the catastrophe
of March 3rl. 1852, will be forgotten by
all. The amount taken i'll ut the dool

that year and upon the reports and esti-

products of the country are valuable, if
reliable. At all events they are the most
complete aud satisfactory attainable
The report shows where the greatest
agricultural interests are located and
the relative position of the States as TO
every character of agricultural produc-
tion. The wear 1890 was nearly an
average one. The season was about

HOME, FARM AND GARDEN.

Hiram Sibley. one Of the wealthiest
men in Rochester, n. T.. is proprietor
Of 10000 acre farm in Illinois, which
is said to be the largest cultivated farm
in the world; 5000 acres of it were last
year devoted TO seed-raising.
A gentleman who recently rode
through ex-senator Dorsey's cattle
ranch in New Mexico says of it.: 1T is
40 by 60 miles in size, and has on it
$4,000 head of cattle and 100 head Of
horses. The income from this place can
not be less than $4,000 for the present
season.
A celebrated French agriculturist,
especially noted for his success in fat
tening sheep. when urged to divulge his
secret, replied; My secret? have
none; it is only Il question of fare. In
duce the animals 10 eat abundantly by a
large. choice variety and good prepara-
ion of food; that Is all there is to it.
Oyster SALAD; Drain a quart of
oysters from their liquid aud cut them
into four pieces. Cut one or two heads
Of branched celery into small pieces.
DO not chop either celery or oysters. but
use sharp knife. When prepared. set
them in separate dishes in cool place,
and just before serving mix them care
fully together. and place them in the
dish in which they are TO remain.
1t Is said that the green fiy and
"Trip can easily be DESTROYED by syring-
ing the vines with the following mix
ture: one gill kerosene. two pounds

red spider and mealy bug this is better
remedy than sulphur fumes. For de

efiectual.

quart of skinned milk. and stir into it
while boiling one cupful of ccrnmeal

To get hens TO lay in winter. they
must be kept warm. and fed on suitable
