A verdict strikingly in accordance with COM
mon sense and public convenience has just been
rendered in the Sixth District Court before
Judge Kelly. Proceedings were begun some
time ago against the Manhattan Elevated Kali
way Company to recover damages because It's
agents had refused to receive as freight parcel
delivered to them at an uptown station to be
carried to a downtown station. In court the
company did not deny (although its counsel
would not admit the point that by the charter
it might be legally bound to act as common
carrier of freight as well as passengers; but
it held that public policy would not allow
it to do so. This seems reasonable to any
one who reflects that the passenger trains are
run every two or three minutes. The plaintiffs
failed to show that the company ever carried
any freight unaccOmpaned by passengers, al
though it was asserted in the complaint that
it made unjust determinations. Of course,
therefore, they could not obtain punitive
damages The jury gave them cents. The
fact is, no prompt business men would ever
want to force the elevated roads to carry their
parcels up or down town. Delivery is slow
enough when only one agent. city express
company, is hired as a carrier. II three agents
were employed, one to take parcel to the up
town station, the railway company TO carry
it to a downtown station, and somebody else
to receive it there, no purchaser would ever
get quickly what he had bought 1t is difficult
to see the use of frivolous proceedings ike these.

The Webster celebrate on at Marshfield, Mass,
although it had little apparent reason for being
at this particular time, reflects credit on the
Historical Society which managed it. The
President Of the United States was in attend
ance with a host of other men more OF less
prominent Speeches were made by Stephen
NJ. Allen, president of the Webster Historical
Society, Mr.. Arthur Mr. Boutwell, and Others.
The most interesting feature of the celebration
was the reading of hitherto unpublished letter
OF Daniel Webster npon the supremacy and
perpetuity Of the Constitution and the Union.

The friends of free trade will try to draw
encouragement from the election OF f. IL.
Hurd to Congress from the Xth District OF
Ohio On this point the canvass was shrewdiy
managed. Not so much was said about his
being free trader in his district as outside
of it. Mr.. Hurd got himself elected on very
different grounds but he is willing enough
that the friends of the present attack on the
protective policy Of the Government should
think that a strong sentiment in favor of tree
trade is developing in Ohio, and that he is
forming it. He hopes it will help him on IN
his ambition, which is by no means limited TO
representing Toledo in Congress. How well
Mr.. Hurd managed matters is shown by the
fact that the Free Trade Club OF this city
pulled itself together and sent him thousand
dollars for the expenses OF the canvass The
club at its last meeting seemed to be palpltat-
ing on the verge of bankruptcy as result OF
this guileless generosity.

An advance in the direction of practical ClVl
Service reform was on Wednesday made In an
unexpected quarter. The Park Board suddenly
and unanimously resolved that the division
gardeners and their assistants should be cited
to an examination before a board consisting OF
the Superintendent of Planting, the Superln-
tending Gardener and the Superintendent
of Parks, together with one or more OF the
Commissioners, and that i'll future the same
board should pass upon the qualifications OF
every applicant for appointment or promotion
in this branch of the Park service. The judg-
ment arrived at by Mr.. Aneurin Jones as to
the fitness of an applicant for duties OF when
he knows nothing himself will probably have
little intrinsic value. The two other profess
sonal members of the examining board do know
something, and every recognition by the Com
missioners Of the fact that special training Is
needed in Park work, and that no experience IN
ward politics can teach man how to plant OF
prune, is substantial gain. Another act OF
the Board to be commended was the order to
begin work at once Oh Manhattan Square in
accordance with the map and planting list
presented 1t is time that the desolatiOn about
the Museum of Natural History was reduced
TO some order and comeliness.

The recent movement to separate college
sports more widely from those INDUCED in by
professional players will hardly be helped on
by the decision of the authorities of Yale.
President Eliot, of Harvard, is anxious that
college baseball mines shall not play with pro-
fessional clubs but President Porter declines
to take any such position. If the students in
New Haven were not permitted to pit them
selves against men who make business OF
playing baseball, they certainly would not be
go expert in the game as they are. But skill
is not the only consideration There are draw
backs to professional contests which are gen.
orally admitted to offset their advantages SO
far as college boys are concerned.

Local politics just now are badly mixed
The County Democrats are not so anxious for
q union of the factions as they were a little
while ago. Some of them think that If they
nominated Allan Campbell as Mayor, with
other candidates of their own, they might
elect them without Tammany's help. Then
they would have the dearly beloved spoils all
to themselves, even with an honest Mayor.
The convention, however, has decided TO confer
with Mr.. Kelly. As for the Tammany Boss.
he dearly loves bargain, and he wants to
make one now which will let his organization
keep what offices 1t has. His heart is set on a
bargaining Mayor. Irving hall, Of course,

The life of . farmer Is made up Of
little experiences. and each one Of
these little experiences has value To
him through life. The one whose OBJ
servation Is closest, who notes all that
occurs. marks the bearing Of little
facts upon results, Is gathering up
knowledge which may be wisely ap-
piled all along the road Of life. What
. difference there IL among farmers
about treasuring up these experiences
How often we find those who have mo-
distinct recollection Of even the pre-
vi0us season, and are uncertain about
the proper time Of doing things!
They keep no record Of events; they
do not know what they produce from
nm acre, the milk or butter yielded
from COW, the growth Of their young
cattle or pigs per week month or year.
and seldom know what they weigh At
slaughter They keep no account Of
expenditure or cost Of crop, ar Of the
crop itself. They appear to do their
work and carry ON their business ~

Plant Young Trees.

Among farmers generally there seems
To be- "A prevailing idea that large trees
are the best for planting. At least in
ordering great majority Of the farm
ers who buy Ia plant order large trees.
which choice believe TO result more
from custom than any ether cause. and
IL would be to the farmers interest. in
selecting the size Ia plant, Ia give this
subject more consideration than Is
generally given. For planting on the
farm what advantages over small trees
,an le claimed for the larger? Not
any. If small trees are planted prop
erly, and for the first two years are
given little extra care and cultiva-
ton. they will, in every case, make
finer and better trees, much hand
somer, more valuable and durable or
chard than the larger. Large trees
lose in removal, beside the greater part
Of the tap root, about One-lialf ar more
Of their most valuable roots, cOnse-
guently leaving the tops too large in
proportion To the amount Of root, the
cvaI,orating surface far greater than
the absorbing, and when planted. even
though the buds swell and NJ l,arently
begin To grow, they may sOOn wither
and die. from not having sufficient
root To furnish the needed fresh supply
of nuurishment. The condition Of
the trees may be bettered somt what
by cutting back but even then their
vigor will be greatly impaired, and
they can never equal i'm thriitiness of
growth the smaller trees with roots
and tops entire. Large trees are apt
To become leaning, crooked or un-
healthy from being blown about or
shaken by the wind.
With small trees the case il far diff
fereHt, just the reverse in every par
ticuiar. They have every advantage
over the larger. At the nursery they
cost less; il procured from a distance
the freight charges are less, besides
being more easily handled and planted
They are surer to grow for, having
roots that are not mutilated-almOst
entire-and proportionate tn the size
of the tops, they will become estab-
lished at once, and grow and then
making nearly the whole of their
growth upon the ground ON which
they are to remain, they soon become
accliniated and perfectly adapted to
the soil and location, making more
stOcky and healthy trees. And now,
with all these advantages in favor of
the smaller trees, besides the testi-
mony AMI experience Of all the most
successful Orchariists and large plant
ers, is il not more advantageous to
