The Oldest the Largest the Best Republican
Newspaper in Indiana,
The DAILY JOURNAL.

The Indianapolis journal is better equipped
than ever in its history to serve the public.
With fine mechanical outfit, not excelled
anywhere, the topographic appearance and
arrangement of the paper will maintain for
the Journal the deserved reputation of being
one of the best printed papers in the country.
Our arrangements for the collection of news
from all parts of the world were never so COM
plete, never involved so large an outlay of
money, while in all departments the paper is
served with experienced and intelligent direc-
ton. The Journal is, first, Newspaper. Ii
will give all the news of the day, from every
quarter with fullness, entire fairness, and SO
edited as to make its columns free from i'm
pu1ities and allow them at all times to be read
with perfect safety by every member Of the
family. The journal is Republican paper,
believing in the principles and general policy
of the Republican party; but it recognizes
that in the work of parties there are and win
be wrongs, possibly frauds and corruptiOns.
These the Journal proposes to be perfectly free
to criticise and to condemn without stint but
in spirit and with purpose for good having
a proper regard for personal rights and reputa-
tions And the right to make this criticism
will be asserted and maintained without detri-
ment to the political character and standing Of
the paper With no desire to be captious or
fault finding, in the interest of the people and
of the party believing that the great glory Of
republicanism is that it permits freedom of
thought and liberty of expression, the Journal
will endeavor, in its editorial comment and con
duct, to keep the Republican party the agency
through which and by which the best thought
of the people may find expression and the
highest purpose Of the people be executed
Other than this, and less than this, will meet
its most vigorous opposition. We hope to
make the journal the exponent of the highest
and best, thoroughly sincere and earnest in
whatever it says and does; paper of the
people and for the people, as welcome to one
class as to another, expecting a continuance
Of generous confidence and support by the
people. Subscribe at once.

Minister Sargent declines the appoint.
ment to Russia conferred upon him by
the president and senate and will retire
from his position at Berlin. Secretary
Freilnghuysen urged the transfer of
MIR. Sargent to Russia, it being his idea
that the proper way to administer mild
snub to Bismarck is to close the Berlin
legation until such time as the repre-
sentative Of the United States can re.
ceive proper treatment. On receipt Of
Secretary Frelinghuysen's letter inform
ing him Of the complimentary manner Of
his transfer to st. Petersburg, Minister
Sargent cabled the secretary warm ex.
preston Of his gratitude for the approval
OF his course in the Lasker matter. and
for the action Of the president and senate
in conferring upon him the Russia
mission, but added be could not accep,
it. and wished to resign the post at
Berlin. In response to further tele.
gram from Frelipghuysen. Sargent tele.
graphs repeating his assurances Of graft.
tude. but adhering to his purpose
because Of i'll health, and for other res.
sons explained by letter.

Correspondence Country Gentlemen.
1t is curious to note when the fact is not de-
MED outright the many and various explana-
tons offered for the lately discovered phenome-
non, that iowland orchards are not only more
productive in fruit than high land, but the trees
grow faster, are more healthy and longer lived.
even where the reasons and causes are so plain
to every intelligent observer who has lived,
twenty five years or more in prairie Illinois, as
anything very well can be. The low lands in
Illinois, meaning the lands on which water does
not stand over few weeks in the year, are now
as dry as the high lands were twenty years ago.
1t will be difficult for not familiar with the
SOIL climate and geology of the State, to under
stand this fact without a few words of
EXPLANATION exp Thirty years ago peren.
infrequent, and wells sunk to the depth of a
hogshead on the lower edge of almost any swell
of hundred feet elevation, would furnish water
through the year, except in severe droughts. But
cultivation and above all. the drainage furnished
by 1000 miles of railroad and many more times
that length of common road, to say nothing
about open and tile drainage, and the compactlng
OF the surface soil by hundred different agen-
cies, have brought about so complete revolu-
ton in surface condition that the low lands to-
day are as dry as the high lands thirty years ago.
If these changes go on land do not see how
they can be prevented, it is my opinion that
there will be no successful fruit-growing IN
central Illinois by 1900 unless by practicing
some sort of irrigation, which will secure
to each tree at least twice the amount
of annual rainfall low lands and three
four times that quantity on high lands.
Not long agoa successful amateur fruitgrower,
gentleman of mature age ard close observa-
ton, said to me, in q talk on the subject: II
have got so far as to be able to say to directors,
show me orchard on high lands which is not
comparatively barren; and think L shall soon
be able to add, giving at the same time the nee
essary evidences, name to me an orchard on
low lands which is not fruitful and healthy too
If the books or the fathers furnished evidence of
similar changes having occurred in any other
country at any previous time there would be
little difficulty in convincing the average object
or of the correctness of the new view as to the
proper site for an orchard but so far as 1 know,
they do not, and am in the condition of the
Hartford professor who had no difficulty with
his students in making them commit to memory
from books); they were well trained in that;
but when he called upon them to observe and
infer then his trouble began.
