An Unfair Advantage.

The Madison Journal has of late been
sending out letters of inquiry to the
different newspapers of the state for
the purpose Of obtaining their views ON
the presidential and other questions
likely to enter into the next campaign.
No doubt the Journal does this with the
best Of motives but we submit it is tax
ing rather unfair advantage Of the
boys to thus place them ON record so
early in the campaign, or rather before
the campaign has come into view.
There is no telling what will happen in
the way of presidential probabilities.
How in the name of the great horned
spoon is a fellow going to come out
after election aud claim the honor of
having been the first TO present the
name of the fortunate, occupant of the
presidents chair with the, journal re-
cord in cold back and white staring
him in the face, as reminder that his
preference was plainly expressed for
Mr.. Blank. Where will be his claims
for recognition then. Postmasterships
may come and collectorships may go,
but the fellow with the record behind
will go on forever publishing country
newspaper. The journal is entirely
too previous in this matter. We claim
the benefits of the biennial session
amendment.

Round Grains FOR Planting.

In DIR. Sturtevant's experiment last
year" says an Eastern correspondent,
.'he found that the grains from the tips
of ears of corn produce more sound
grain, and larger amount altogether,
than those from the center or butts.
There is reason for all things, and DIR.
s. suggested to me that the explana-
ton was that the well-formed grains on
the tips of the ears had fuller chance
for development in their normal shape.
A grain or corn, if left with ample
room, swells on each side and assumes
u round form. In the centre of the cob
the grains are pressed closely together,
and are long and fiat At the butts
there is some compression, but not so
much as in the center of the cob. The
crop, from these various facts, indicates
the correctness of this theoretical ex-
PLANTATION. To test the matter still
further, | have taken some grains as
round as could find them, taken from
an ear where the cob was so thinly
covered that every grain had the fullest
chance for development. 1t was in
fact first-class pig corn, and an ear
that would never think of planting
excepting to test this theory. The
grains were perfectly ripened, and their
failure to cover the entire cob as usual
undoubtedly arose from imperfect fer
tilization. 1t may be that this failure
to fertilize win prove hereditary; but |
am more inclined to believe that the
strong Plants from these large grains
will bring a great amount and better
quality of corn. The experiment is
well worth trying. and it it results as
hope, the round grains from any part
of the cob will be ut premium with
me for planting.

Just a Few Mistakes.

The Bloomington Record makes q
spirited attempt TO fog Lancaster over
the back of n warning pu' .ished in The
HERALD few week ago After having
quoted the article the Record proceeds
to say:
Let's see. Midnight ON Saturday
is just about Sunday morning. After
this party had adjourned the Lancaster
football club HE'D them to the fair
ground, where they INDUCED ia u game
same time several suburban base ball
clubs were playing near the city. And
this on Sunday; in goody goody Lam
caster, too! Then there was human
target for eggs that sick hen had laid,
arising out of the case in the HERALD.
Il appears to wicked outsider that
there is still difference the same old
difference between Heaven and Lam
caster"
With few slight mistakes the Record
is quite correct. Lancaster ilas no foot
ball club to chic anywhere; there are
no suburban ball clubs ne;Irer than
Bloomington; and there was 10 human
target for fruit-growing eggs. With
these few slight exceptions the Record
was correct in its remarks. We would
say, however. that Lancaster makes
no pretentions to any particular "goody
goodness. Towns of that class are usu-
ally marked rs being in the ..sere and
yellow leaf, distinction which the
growing. bustling shire town of the
county cannot aspire to. not this year.
1t generally manages, however. to in
duee proper observance of the peace
on the part of its citizens and visitors,
and having done that rests satisfied.

Doing Better.

Justice is looking up il New York
state. Under the new criminal code of
that state the president of the late City
Bank of Rochester was sentenced to a
term of six months imprisonment in
the county Jail for over drawing his ac-
count. 1t appears to be case in which
legal and poetic justice were both sat
islie,l. as there were several other indiet-
ments hanging over the distinguished
criminal for larceny and embezzlement.
The finding, rs might have been antici-
patcd, was hardly received with unal-
loyed joy by the prisoner and his
frienlS. His counsel intro dnced score
or two of reasons why judgment
should be arrested, but this discharge
not scattering enough to cover the
ground, active exertions were made to
have proceedings stop short of actual
imprisonment by some unexplanable
process. Latest reports bring the intel
ligrnce that the heightened embezzler
is still at liberty, and poetic justice APP
pears momentarily in prospect of being
Knocked out in one round by the re-
lease of the prisoner. 1t rs quite APP
parent that New York can yet copy to
advantage from New Jersey.

Another Victim TO FooIhariiness.

Capt. Webb, the great English swim
MGR, in attempting to shoot the rapids
below Niagara Falls shot into eternity in
Stead, and the earth is minas one NOR q
professional sensationalst. From the
time when the erratic Sam Patch jumped
into fame and another world from the
Genesee Falls, up to the present time,
there has been an unbroken line of this
class of professionals, men who were
willing to risk their lives in world start
ling feats for the brief bubble of noto-
riety which the instant brought them
The almighty dollar cuts but little figure
in the case as not one of the lot have
died possessed Of II competence which
could not easily have been acquired in
ordinary business pursuits ut mere
modlcum of the risk attached to their
prcposterous understandings. 1t is the
desire to startle the world, to do big
thing, that is the moving cause in what
can be classed as hardly less than mur-
derous eccentricities. AS Webb is re-
ported saying to friends in England, he
was going to America where he had
found more enthusiasts II over athletic
matters than at home, $50 do big
thing" He attempted to fill the bill
and failed.
1t is perhaps unfortunately true that
this country furnishes better field for
the operation of the class of talent that
deals in sensations thaa any other
The eager craving each day for some
thing which shall surpass the doingS of
yesterday, is probably exhibited in a
more marked degree in this country
than any where else on earth. The eager,
speculative feeling, which. especi ally in
late years, has apparently caught on
to every mind, hurrying the whole
country at break-neek pace to wealth
or ruin, is doubtless responsible for the
greater share of this abnormal craving
for continual startling sensations which
shall shock the jaded senses into mo-
mentary activity. Hence professional
sensationalists of the Patch, Blondin
and Webb stripe, follow much rs II
matter of course Where hundreds are
daily sacrificing them selves. and MT
only themselves but those alb ,ut them,
ut the altar Of mammon, it is not at all
to be wondered at that others will sacri-
flee to strange gods. The abnor-
NAL craving for the uuheard of will be
satisfied by class of professionals who,
so long as human nature is constituted
as at present, will continue TO keep their
ranks recruited by new men who will
strive to Guido the fcats of their prede-
cesSors, the inevitable ending being
that like the rough of the western plain,
they will finally die with their boots
on while cndeavoring to out-strip
themselves or their fellows.

Too Heavy n Load.

In a recent letter to the secretary of
the Republican State Central COM
mittee, Congressman Dezendorf of that
state INDUCES in some caustic COM
ments on the Malone regime, besides
insinuating broadly that the corruption
in Denmark was nothing compared
with the political qualification which
exists in the old dominion since the
ascendeney of Mr. Malone to the seat
of power. The anathemas of the
worthy congressman would be entitled
to more attention was not the fact quite
so gauzily transparent that the animus
of the attack lies mainly IN a desire on
The part of the writer to deaolsh the
foundations Of the Malone temple
through u feeling of jealousy In other
words the congressman would divert
the stream of patronage so that it
would water the grounds surrounding

surrounding the house OF Malone.
hence goodly share of his charges
may be taken with a few grains of
allowance.
With the personal question of who
shall be party boss in the State of
Virginia the Republican party has moth

InitS grevious error in supposing that
a straight out Republican would be
preferred to a party whose Republican

Foster Didn't BulIdOze.

In an interview printed in eastern pa
pers, Gov. Foster was represented as
saying that Judge Hoadley, the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor of Ohio,
stated that the Cincinnati delegation
cost him fifty thousand dollars. Natur-
ally, the statement aroused an un-
wonted excitement in the mind of the
learned Judge, and he at once begun an
expenditure of electricity and ink, both
bottled, in an endeavor to have the Gov
ernor take back his words. The latter,
it seems, has no intention of doing so,
but further raises the ''dander" of the
Judge by the following caustic letter;
If the interviewer had made me say
that it lis alleged that Judge Hoadley
has admitted, etc. it would have been
correctly reported so far as the para
graph to which you refer is concerned.
A gentleman who said he had long
talk upon the subject with you said
you admitted that your nomination
cost you $50, 200, and that Mclean com
PEELED you to pay one-half of this sum
during the convention. | am not to
give his name without his consent.
Now that the subject is up. permit me
to add that it is now obvious tiiat the
delegation from Cincinnati to the Il sm-
ocratic convention openly sold their
votes to candidates, and the price paid
therefore seems to be well understood.
Would it not be well for you to state
publicly what it cost you to get your
nomination, and whether it is true that
Mclean made you pay more than you
would have paid had he kept out of tile
fight. and If SO how much, SO that this
point relative to the cost of your romiu-
alton may be definitely understood
The old dem ,cracy, / am quite sure.
would like to be informed. I suggest
this, because your vigorous epithets
seem to apply to The amount stated, and
not To the fact that you did not pay
anything"
To these suggestions, the leader of
the Democratic hosts replies, by SIM
pie reiteration of his denial, aud de-
mand for the name of the party who gave
birth to the statement The Judge
would do well to go slow. 1t is possible
he may rake up even a rougher custo-
MGR than the Governor.
