TIE only common bond of sympathy
among Democrats of the old school, and
the only living principle of the Bourbon
party, is opposition to the most Demo-
cratic reform of modern times-the Fif-
teenth Amendment. The Republican
party of to-day is much nearer approach
to JeiIersonian Democracy than any other
existing organization. Its creed and prac-
tice have presented a healthful compro-
mise between Hamiltonian and JeiTer-
sonian theories. Its most aggressive steps
have been the most Democratic of its acts.

INDIAN CoRN-SELEcIIoS FOR SEED.--A
correspondent writes: 1 ever hsve been in
the habit of rejecting the small and inner
fectly.formed kernels from the ears OF seed
corn. sbd planting only the well formed.
mature kernels from the middle portion
selecting when husking in the fall, 'frac-
ing" and hanging away under cover for
curing, the very best, most perfect, we'll
filed ears for seed If any ears have
openings between the rOYs OF kernels near
the butts, or the cob protruded at the I, p
beyond the kernels, they are TT jscted. or
If there Is any other irregularlty from tie
standard of the variety. The variety
grows in an S-rowed yellow flint, with
broad and deep kernels and very small
cob, three bushels Of ears generally making
two bushels of sbelied corn. This corn /
grew on the same farm, and continued the
above course of selection for over thirty
years, and at the end of that time the corn
was better than when | first planted Ii.
NV theory Is that selecting only perfect,
fCll-grown seed and planting on good
ground, well-tilled, where the plants can
find ail needed plant food within easy
reach, viii give good crops, and that they
will never deleriCrste, 50 long as only the
best is PLANTED, ,and this course is followed.
Some farmers, who seldom take pans to
reject imperfect or ill-shsped kernels grow
very fair crops, but in looking over their
corn as husked from the field there is found
a greater proportion of imperfect ears and
nubbins than have usually found in mine.
Whether this Is due TO less care In seiec-
ton of seed, or other reasons, l cannot
say, but am cogniZant of the fact. Ire
seasons have only partial effect on the full
development of the ears OF corn, 50 lar as
| have noticed, on good, sandy, loam soil,
well titled. | seldom see any, or much,
defect in fertilization, but a majority OF
stalks bear one or more ears well filled ouI
to or over the tip of cob, but showing very
little If any vacancies on the cob. L can
see no reason why We should plant all the
kernels from the ear any more than We
should take for seed any or every ear
which rIpens. The more perfect the seed,
individually, the more likely Is the pro
duct 10 be perfect, is the principle in In
