A WRITER says that years expert
ence with broad wagon wheels is con-
elusive as to their value. A four-inch
tire will carry two tons over soft ground
with greater ease to the team than a
two and half inch tire will carry one
ton. The wheels are not so much
strained by stone and rough tracks on
the road, and the road is not cut up,
but, on the CONTRARY, is packed down
and keeps smooth. The prevalent idea
that the draught is increased by wild
ening the tire is altogether baseless !;
on the contrary, wide tire reduces the
draught. The extra cost of the tire is
repaid many times over every year in
the extra work that can be done by a
team.
THE experiments conducted during
the last session at the Missouri State
Agricultural College fully demonstrate,
saws the Rural World, the ACCESSIBILITY
of mulching potatoes. We believe
every experiment so far reported gave
a similar result. The cost of the ma
terials for mulching is usually very
small, leaves or straw being plentiful
and cheap upon the farm. The mate
rails manure the ground, and mulching
saves hoeing. The potato requires
a cooler climate and moister soil than
our latitude affords. Mulching tends
to secure both. The result in every
case has been largely increased yields
of superior quality.

MONDAY.

MONDAY.
In the L. S. Senate on Monday last, a
message was received from the House
announcing its non-concurrence in the
Senate's amendments to the bill forfeit
ing the unearned land grants of the At
lantic and Pacific Railroad. The Senate
insisted on it's amendments and ordered
conference. The Naval Appropriation
bill passed by the House was received,
and Mr.. Hale explained that it was a
mere renewal for the coming half year of
the lump appropriation made at last ses-
sion based on the appropriation Of last
year" He thought the Senate ''should
take up and refer to a new conference
committee the regular appropriation bill
which was the subject of the conference
at the close of the last session, especially
to new ships Mr.. Mitchell read let
ter from General Grant in relation to the
bill recently introduced giving him a
pension. The General expressed the
hope that the bill would be withdrawn,
las under no circumstances could he ac-
cept pension even if the bill passed
both Houses and received the approval
of the President Mr.. Mitchell explain
ed that ''he had introduced the bill be-
cause he was Chairman of the Committee
on Pensions, and the President had rec
commended a pension for Gen. Grant

An Unruly Traction Engine

The following account of runaway
which took place in the city of Lancas
ter, Pa, recently is from the LaJuirer Of
that place, and it takes the shine clear
off the one that took place here last week
when pair of horses ran into dry
goods store window:
'North Queen street was the scene of
excitement on Thursday night, when a
Landis traction engine, on its way lone
from a trip to Quarryvile, got beyond
the control of John Lands and Elan
Herr, who were managing it. 1t ran
against and upset the mail wagon and
horse i'll front of the postoi1ice, dashed
over the pavement aud dashed into Chris
tisn Fatc's sewing machine office, demol-
ishing the show window and sewing
machine, and moving the door frame
from position The men on the engine,
who attributed the accident to the break
ing Of the guide chain, were arrested.
The street was soon densely packed and
the greatest Indignation was expressed
at tie occurrence, which is believed to
have been the result of carelessness. On
the way to this city horse was fright
ened, causing him to run away and seri-
ously injuring lady occupant of the
vehicle.

THE Nj. f. CENTENNIAL CON
FERENCE.

The Centennial Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Churh which be-
gan its sessions in Baltimore this week,
is an evert of unusual interest to that
denomination. One hundred years
ago the 24th of the present month
there met at Baltimore the first General
Conference of that church, which was
known as the Christmas conference
from the season when it met. At that
time the church had only eighty minis
tiers and about Is, 900 members. lhe
present Conference will represent a
body Of $4,000 ministers and some
thing like S,Soo,ooo communicates out
side of other branches of Methodlsnl
not participating, The growth of the
Church has been a natural one, and
while no such surprising results car
reasonably be expected for the second
century of its existence in America, Il
can still look forward to increased pros
perity and usefulness.

HOW CLEVELAND WILL BE
INAUGURATED.

In view of the fact that Congressman
Robinson, of Brooklyn, New York, in
troduced a bill in Congress TINS week
"to restore inaugural ceremonies to the
Jehersonian Republican simplicity, the
New York Tribune quotes the follow
ing bret account of the Inauguration
of Jefferson, taken from Mr.. Randall's
life of that statesman
The President elect, Jefferson, was
anxious that the ceremonies of his in
auguraton should be as few and simple
as practicable, but the feelings Of his
friends who had focked to the Capital
would not permit him to so unattended
to the Senate Chamber to take the
oath of office. An English eyewitness
thus describes his appearance on that
occasion: His dress was of plain cloth
and he rode on horseback to the Cap
ital without a single guard Or servant in
his train, dismounted without assistance
and hitched the bride of his horse to
the palisades.
Commenting upon the rigid Repub-
lican simplicity Of the example set by
Mr.. Jefferson, the ZjTbnUc suggestively
ass whether Mr.. Cleveland intends to
adopt the Jefersonian model, and in
dulges in the following facetious strain =:
IF so it will be necessary to put up
palisades in front of the Capitol, since
the old ones to which Mr.. Jefferson
tied his horse disappeared many years
ago. Doubtless Mr.. Robinson's bill
provides for the erection of the neces-
sarv palisades. But since the Presi-
dent-elect by expending so cents and
copy of Dorsheimer's "L!fe of Cleve-
land" might readily engage boy to
hold his horse for him while he was
being inaugurated, this provision of the
bill is clearly in the interest of wanton
extravaganza and may defeat Mr.. Rob-
inson if he ever comes up again for
Congress. Every person with a trained
eye for the Beautiful would be impress
ed by the palisades. Fashioned from
rich old mahogany, exquisitely carved
and decked with gems and gold, the
palisades could scarcely fail to render
Washington additionally picturesque
and public life at the Federal Capital
more attractive than ever. But the
claims Of economy are certainly as I'M
peratiye as those relating to a return to
"Jeffersonian republican SIMPLICITY
We suggest to Mr.. Robinson in behalf
of the taxpayers that he invite proposals
for holding Mr.. Cleveland's horse and
for building palisades to which the
horse may be tied. If it turns out that
palisades are cheaper than the services
of youth who knows how to hold a
horse, there can be no ground of COM
plant if palisades are provided. But
we warn Mr.. Robinson that the people
of the United States are in no mood
for lavishing money on palisades if a
more frugal method Of holding Mr..
Cleveland'S horse can be secured.
1--WE believe we violate no confidence
in adding that it is pretty we'll under
stood in Indiana that under no circum-
stances will Mr.. Hendricks consent to
hold Mr.. Cleveland's horse on that in
teresting occasion.

BETWEEN the clamorous ofhce-seek

matter remaining is the design for the
base of the monument, which has not

The memorial stones are placed in the

exercising fine taste in drawing the
line between those that are to be exclud-

WHILE much speculation is being in
dulged in as to the course of legisla-
ton the Democrats will adopt at the
present session of Congress, there is no
reason why it should not make the
necessary appropriations for the in
crease of our navy. The only excuse
that has been given by the Democrats
in the past for not voting them has
been that Republican administration
would expend the money. The ap-
propriations made by this congress will
not be available until four months after
Democratic secretary of the navy is
installed in office. If the subject is
not considered by this Congress, a
whole year must elapse before any pro-
gress can be made, and the Democrats
will show that they distrust their own
ability to deal with the question if they
allow the present session to close with
out an effort to promote the growth

WHILE the Democrats are shouting
themselves hoarse with their demand
to "turn the rascals out" it may be of
interest to remark that the secretary of

has been arrested for completely in the
attempt of the Democratic leaders OF
Illinois to steal the legislature of that
state. Now let US see whether that
party is as earnest in its desire to pun
ish its own rascals, as it is to cry thief

REPRESENTATIVE PEEL, of Arkansas,
is getting in his work early. He has
introduced bill recompensing certain
persons of his state for losses sustained
during the war. OF course rebel claims
that Republican Congresses have re-
jected will be entitled to precedence
when Democratic administration at
tenrots to undo the work of the past.
Hence MIR. Peel intends to advance
the claims of his constituents of the

GEN. GRANT has fittingly rebuked his
over-zealous friends, who desired to
place his name upon the civil pension
list. In his recent message President
Arthur, taking it for granted that such
provision would be agreeable to Gen
eral Grant, recommended this measure
which Senator Mitchell, of Pennsylva-
MIA, introduced bill to secure. What
ever General Grants desire may be,
as tc being placed upon the retired list
of the army with the rank of general,
he has notified Senator Mitchell that
he would not accept the pension pro-
posed, and at his special request the
bill has been withdrawn.

The signs of dissensions in the ranks
of the supporters of Mr.. Cleveland are
rapidly multiplying. Independent Re
publicans who deserted their party to
help Cleveland's election, are viewed
with evident distrust by the Bourbon
element Of the Democracy, and who are
not disposed to concede the claims Of
that class of official expectants. The
Springfield Republican, a prominent
independent Democratic newspaper
thinks that Cleveland is in honor bound
to recognize the Republicans who sup
ported him. Democrats generally don't
think so. Cleveland must disappoint
somebody.

The admission of Dakota to the Union
is opposed by Democratic Legislators,
on political grounds, knowing that if
Dakota is made state. the Republican
party will gain two /. S. Senators
thereby. This action is Democratic all
over. Had Republicans acted from such
motives the colored man would never
had the right to vote, as by his enfran-
chisement the electoral vote Of the South
ern states was largely increased giving
greater power to the Democrat party.
Without this they never could have
