Blaine and His Party,

The nomination of Blaine undoubtedly |
expresses the true aspirations md desires
ol the large majority Of the Republican
party. In this ssreo, 1t is probably for
tunste for the country that it has nt last
been accomplished. This is the third
campaign in which he has bsen a candi-
date, and heretofore he has been de-
feated by the antsgonism OF two incon-
Hruous sections, what Matthew Arnold
would call the remnant" on the one
hand and the influence OF the
Federal machine on the other.
In 1876 the remnant was strong and
very aggressive and the salt OF virtue
which remained had not so nearly lost its
SAVIOR. In 1884 ii has dwindled down
to paltry two score out OF over eight
hundred representative delegates. Un-
doubtedly M. Blaine's reputation has
been growing more unssvory as the light
was let in on his career but at the same
time the tone Of his party has been con.
stsntly growing worse. 1t is therefore
not surprising that he and 1t have ap-
prosched each other sufi iciently to make
him Its candidate by natural selection.
While therefore 1t is not gratifying to
the pride Of any American citizen that
such man should be the choice OF one of
the two great parties, It is nevertheless
better that it's true choice should be put
forward rather than that 1t should
masquerade behind candidate which
does not truly represent it.
Everybody agrees that Blaine is the
real Republican leader and repre-.
sentative. His candidacy therefore
illustrates the present character of the
party which has for twenty
four years held the reins OF
power. What manner o: man he Ii
the country well knows. Nor Gao it b,

figured by the malice Of his opponents
AS 1t is now presented to the country il il

Already such journals as the New Yorl

that they will not support the nomination
The Eveling Post will undoubtedly d,
the same thing. While the vast nsjorit,

moral aud political unwOrthiness, ther,

Senator Harrison said he was well pleased
with the nominations, He considered Blaine

against him are not believed, and hip own
state approved him. Garfield gave him his

Prof. Beal states in one of his public
addresses that il was estimated a few
years ago there were 10000 bushels OF
bad turnip seed mixed and sown with
good seed IN Germany in a single year.
Mills in that country are employed to
grind up quartz, sift it to the size Of
clover seed. and color it to resemble the
seed of red clover. He also stated that
in England there exists an organized
agreement to adulterate seeds to a GER
tain extent. Pure, fresh seed they quote
as met seed" and dead seed as three
knocks" Among the frauds is the use OF
the seeds of weeds which resemble good
sorts in appearance. These are killed
by boiling or baking, so as not to come
up and tell the fraud, and they
are then mixed with good seeds. The
practice of purchasing seeds In market,
for testing at experiment stations, an
unknown third person making the pur-
chase, is likely to lessen the fraud COM
mitted, some of which pass through the
hands of innocent dealers, who will thus
be induced to take greater care in buy
ing of others. The worst frauds are
found in imported grass seeds. In max
ing these statements it must not be for
gotten that the failure of seeds to ger
inmate does not always prove them to be
bad, for such failures Gifted result from
planting too deep, or in covering with
dry or cloddy soil, or from emitting to
press the earth sufficiently over them,
| or fromlll- treatment thetfact that when
the same seeds are properly planted in
fine, mellow soil, and at a moderate
depth, they terminate finely, proving
their good quality. Country Gentle
