-"Drouth is not an unmitigated evil
to the farmer" says the Indiana
Farmer. IF it diminishes the present
crop it secures vigorous growth of the
subsequent one by its fertilizing effects.
The constant evaporation of water at

The practice of Topping off the tops
of shade trees for the purpose of
making them grow thick has little to-
recommend it. The graceful, sweeping
boughs OF the elm or the round and
symmetrical top of a maple are much
to be preferred over truncated, low
beaded, bushy-stemmed tree. The
heavy looping of the tops of trees is also
injurious to the tree. No matter if the !
wounds seem to heal over naturally
as they seldom do-the tree inevitably
suffers. A general heading-in, prac-
ticed by means Of long handled shears,
and the occasional use of fine -toothed
saw, is to DO recommended if the tops
Of shade and orHaniental trees are not
satisfactory .-Anaerica Culticator.

DEFINING THE ISSUES,

What Mr.. Theodore Roosevelt has to say In
tO-day's TRIBUNE about the course the Repub-
lican party should pursue in the coming can
vass is interesting and to the point. He agrees
with other Republicans that Civil Service Re-
form should be made conspicuous in the party
platform. Naturally that will be the case, par
ticularly at time when the President Is re-
moving Surveyors, Naval Officers. District-At-
torneys, Marshals and other officials before the
expiration of their terms, solely for the pur-
pose OF filling the places with Democrats.
Such open opposition to this reform calls for
rebuke, which the Republican Convention Will
naturally administer. AS to the repeal OF the
four years tenure of Office act Mr.. Roosevelt
will probably find few Republicans to agree
with him. In those cases where that act did
not apply there has been a clean sweep. The
internal revenue collectors are good illustra-
ton. Nearly every man of them, including
those who had served faithfully Tor fifteen or
twenty years. has been turned ont. They were
the first to go, which Is proof enough that Con-
gress acted wisely i'll refusing TO repeal the law
The party will continue TO favor the extension
of the Civil Servicerules ; and it ought to show
clearly its dsapprova of those Republicans
who voted with Earl and other Democrats in
the Legislature to weaken the State Civil Ser
vice law.
Mr.. Roosevelt is right in asserting " that
"every assault upon this reform, whether at Al
"bany or Washington, invariably originates
from Democratic sources" and finds III that
party its chief supporters. He states an
other indisputable fact when he says that
&" what has been accomplished in the way of
municipal reform has been done by Republi-
/" can Legislatures in spite Of the opposition of
"the Democratic minority" He makes
timely allusion to the indcfcnsible course
of Governor Cleveland In vetoing the
Tenure of Office bill, and in re.
fusing to remove Sheriff Davidson.
The failure to bring about any reform iii the
outrageous misnanagement OF the Public
Works Department and of the Sheriil's Office
is largely if not wholly due to those acts of
Democratic Executive. In his veto of the
Brooklyn reform bills and in other ways the
present Democratic Governor has continued to
obstruct reform
The Republican party must remove that OBJ
struction and carry forward the work of mu-
nicipal reform. II must send TO the rear the
recreant members of its own party, and nOmi
nate as candidates for State Offices and for the
Legislature men who have been tired and not
found wanting 1t will then have an easy road
fo victory

GLIMPSES or IOKY POLICY.

The Marquis of Salisbury has disappointed
his political foes. His preliminary statement
OF the Governments policy is at once cautious
and adroit. 1t will tend to rcassure the con-
stituencies whose political support the Tories
must speedily gain, if they hope to remain
permanently in power. The Liberals may have
counted too confidently upon the capacity of
their opponents for laundering. The Tories
have shown sound judgment at the outset in
abandoning the Crimes Act at time when it
was matter of record that the island was tran
quill and entirely free from agrarian crime and
political violence. BY this act they bave secured
the cooperation OF the NatiOnalists and pre-
vented renewal OF Obstruction tactics. Their
own conduct in Opposition. however, had
tended to create distrust and suspicion. BY
their frequent motions Of censure and merciless
criticism of Liberal diplomacy by their dis
plays Of relentless hatred of Mr.. Gladstone, and
by their reckless and unscientiic warfare upon
Mr.. Childers's budget, they had strengthened
the feeling among sober-mindcd EDglshmen
that there was only one political party that
could be depended upon to conduct the Govern
ment. If they can succeed during the next four
months in dispelling the prejudice excited by
their own lack of sobcrness and selfrestr traint in
Opposition they will do much to command the
confidence of the constituencies in November.
The Marquis of Salisbury begins by assuring
the country that it has nothing to fear from
Tory diplomacy. IL the Chancellor of the Ex
chcquer be equally successful in his financial
proposals. the new Government will enter upon
its career with fair prospects of success.
Continuity of diplomatic policy Is one OF the
traditions of English public life. MI. Gladstone,
after arraigning the Beaconslield Administra-
tion for its recklessness, extravagance and folly
abroad, succeeded to Office and for a consider
able period followed closely the lines defined by
his predecessors. When Radical HOtspurs
criticised him for retaining Sir Bartle Frcre
in South Africa and for fulfilling Tory engage
ments in Afghanistan, he defended himself by
asserting that a new Ministry was bound in
honor and patriotism to respect the diplomacy
of the outgoing Government and not TO depart
from it suddenly and unnecessarily. This is
what the Marquis Of Salisbury proposes to do
The terms of thesAfghan settlement are to be
ripidly adhered to and the promise made TO the

cryrplL GRdyTS PREF1CE.

The Preface to General Grants Memoirs,
which appeared in yesterdays ISSUE disarms
criticism by its frankness and simplicity
seldom before has an author taken his readers so
completely into his confidence. His reasons for
comniing these volumes of "reminiscences after
determining never 10 write Il line for publication
are given with plainness of speech very uD-
usual. The ruin wrought by the rascality of u
business partner compelled him to live upon
borrowed money and to take advantage of favor
able opportunities offered by publishers for
writing an account of his eventGu life. Even
if the legend of blind Belisarius begging by the
wayside after saving an empire from destruc-
ton were true, it would not be mere pathetic
than this determined effort on the part OF the
heroic Union General to retrieve his fortunes
through literary industry. Nothing that Gen
eral Grant has ever done in lifetime devoted
TO patriotic service is more honorable than this
brave struggle against misfortunes which have
befallcn him through no fault Of his own.
Sir Walter Scott was q professional book
msk ker when he threw himself with desperate
earnestness into his last conflict with poverty
and debt. The heartbroken commander, who
in the crisis OF his fortunes began to write for
living, was unaccustomed to literary work
Rcticence had been one of his strongest charac-
teristics. 1t was not easy for this silent soldier
20 tell the story of his life, but he forced HIM
self to do it. AS he went on with the work, he
found his health unequal to the drudgery In
volved in verifying statements OF fact and con-
sulting military authorities. Then the crisis
came when, as lie says, he was reduced almost
to the point of death, and he dropped the pen
apparently never to take 1t mp again. Regain
ing a remnant Of his strength, he returned with
characteristic determination to his task, which
he has practically succeeded in completing.
In his modesty and candor the General feels
compelled to apologize to his readers for what
he considers serious defects in his work. If he
could have had more time he says, he would
have more hope of satisfying the expectations
of the public. The patient sufferer at Mount
McGrcgor needs to feel no uneasness on that
score. Never did an author submit his work to
a more sympathetic and indulgent circle of
readers. Whoever reads that modest, unpre-
tending, sincere Preface will be overcome with
respect and admiration for tho man. In no
captious spirit of fault finding and criticism
will he turn tho subse luent pages. His emo
ton will steadily increase as he approaches the
end, remembering the wearisOmc, agonizing
struggle with disease which the final chapters
witnessed and as he closes the volume he may
repeat Pauls grand text: "Endure hardness

qgE pEYNsYLVAyIA CONVENTION

The wisdom of holding State election
merely to choose q subordinate officer, like the
State Treasurer, is not apparent to people out
side of Pennsylvania. But that is the only
officer to be elected in that State this year.
Ordinarily there would not be much strife as to
the nominee for this place. but as the contest
this year is preliminary to the more important
one next year, unusual interest is shown in the
nomination to be made by the Republicans.
They hold their State Convention at Harrisburg
to-day, and though there has been an active
contest for delegates no ill-feclng has been de-
veloped. The three conspicuous candidates are
Mr.. Quay, Mr. Longcnecker and Mr.. Magec. he
friends of the former seem to be confident oil
success, but there is a proverbial uncertainty
about contests of this kind.
AS Pennsylvania gave Republican plurality
of 81 900 last year there ought to be no qucs-
ton about the success of the party this year.
With the exception of the dissensions that
prevail among the leaders the party is entirely
harmonious But the folly of leaders gave the
State to the Democrats in 1882. and there are
rImors that a lukewarm feeling may result
from the probable coursc of to-days convcn-
ton. There is probably no truth in these
rumors. Nor is it likely that the convention
will do anything to justify such course. The
delegates have been fairly chosen and any one
of the candidates would make satisfactory
State Treasurer. But the party's welfare II

MORMON REBELISM.

Why there should be SO much said about the
insult to the United States flag by the Mormons
in Utah it is hard to say. In itself, the flag is
simply piece of cloth; strictly speaking, a
striped rag excepting rs it is the representa-
tive of the authority of the Government and the
majesty or q great self-gOverning people, it is
of no account Now the Mormons have been
insulting the authority of the United STAGES,
which that flag represents every day for many
years. They have been defying the law which
the flag represents, and are tD-day in a state OF
virtual rebellion against that law. They have
insultcd the sovereignty of the people in every
conceivable method, ever since the last Demo-
cratic Administration before the War sent out
costly and disastrous expedition to suppress
Mormon rebellion. Why, then, should anybody
be surprised that besides insulting the Nation,
It's laws and its sovereign people, the Mormons
should also insult its flagf
The bitterness of feeling In Utah, just at this
time, is not altogether surprising. Doubtless
the Mormons had really convinced themselves
that, on account of the services OF their church
and their rich men to the Democratic party,
they were going to have an easy time after
that party came into power. But the existence
of such belief only illustrated their unfitness
to have any part in a government OF law. III
they had been able to comprehend the nature OF
self government, they would have realized
that the enforcement of the laws would be
found as necessary by one party as by the
other. 1t may be said that there is an excop-
ton that President Cleveland can with inn
punity. and therefore will, decline to enforce
the United States election laws in the Southern
States, because the almost unanimous feeling
of the people " will sustain that course. by
- the people," when IA Democrat is speaking of
n Southern State, he does not mean the
nggers,n nor i" the scalawags,' but white Dem
ocrats. But even In that case we have yet to
see whether the President will venture fatty to
disregard the law, and if he does. the succeed
Ing elections will prove to him that the Demo-
cratic party stands in need of more votes than
Southern States alone can cast. But the idea
that any party could afford to set aside the laws
against poygamy because of any supposed
political advantage or interest was one which
would not have been entertained by the Nor
mons. if they had known much about a Govern
mcnt of Law.
1t is not worth while for the Government OF
the United States to pay any attention to the
insults to its flag by the Mormon Church, until
1t has completely vindicated the majesty OF the
Nation against the continued violation of its
laws by tho Mormon Church for many years.
When il has finished that work, and duly
punished the men who have 'bcen In open re-
bclllon against the laws of the United States,
there will not be left outside of the jails enough
authorities of the Mormon Church to be
punished Tor the lesser insults to rhc flag.
