NOT AGE, BUT QUALIFICATION.

The Augusta Chronicle and Consiiiu.
tionaIist snys:
1.-THE young mans Administration has
chosen gentleman Of sixty years to gil
Mr.. Lobing's place as Commissioner Of
Agriculture. The President seems to be
selecting men who were left out of Office
when Buchanan retired. Two genera.
tions is long ways to 60 to pay up the
back debts Of Democracy"
There seemed to be in some quarters
an idea that President Cleveland intend.
ed TO leave the old men out in the cold
during his term, and of course the young
bloods were delighted, as it gave them
reasonable assurance that they were to
have the places. The late appointments
have gone far to dissipate this confidence.
All of the foreign Minister'S so far mp.
pointed, and the Commissioner of Agri-
culture are over sixty. This will prob.
ably cause the older politicians to i'm
agine that they are to run the new ad.
ministration, and about the time they
settle firmly on this belief they will be
surprised by batch of nominations of
young men for some important Offices.
The people will learn that business
man Is at the head Of this government,
and he knowo that the question is not
how old man Is, but howiwell qualified
10 ke7 The selections of officers 10 no
doubt controlled to considerable extent
by personal influence, but in every in.
stance, 30 far, appointments have been
made from men we'll qualified for the
work assigned them.

The New Administration,

Richmond" the correspondent of the
Chronicle and Constitutionaiist, says of
the new administration
Every step taken by Mr.; Cleveland has
been towards national Administration
of ideal excellency. He has had evident.

public rula in this vast country "A
sound conscientious statesmnnship has
considered we'll the public welfare. We
have colossal government system with
Its lo,OOO EMPLOYEES, covering the conti-
nent and extending its rami6cations into
the civilized countries Of the world. To
handle the concern is not easy, to disturb
its management even for its benefit is a
delicate matter. To turn out its legious
OF experienced employees and run the
massive machine with myriads of raw
recruits, would be grave blunder. Mr.
Cleveland has risen to the wisdom of the
situation. Between party hunger for
place and the proper discharge of the
public service, he has needed the execu.
tive sense he is so clearly showing. Call
ing to administrative places Democrats
Of ability in union with him, he Is going
slowly in interfering with the skilled
subordinate labor Of the dedartmeuts.
And most wisely. Iu 50,0O0,OOO of
people there are $4,000 oficeholders, or

applicants for every Office, and we
should only have q million of the dis.
gruntled against the forty.nine millions
Of disinterested non.office seekers, who
must and will rejoice in the good admin.
istration of public matters.
Mr. Cleveland Is cutting of superflu.
qua labor, he Is nipping unlawful expense,
he is reducing the service to its legitimate
size, he is discharging the incompetent
and the unfaithful, he is filling vacancies
with Democrats on the sole basis Of fit.

Some Of the States ara establishing 9
new holiday, or rather day act apart to
special work. Eight States now have
this new day which they term "Arbor
Day" Its intent is to provide one day
in the year,set apart to the planting of
trees. and thus replenish the immense
annual destruction of forests which are
entailing so much injury upon the coun.
cry. Through the Observance Of arbor
days many thousands of trees are planted
every year. In several of the States the
public and private schools are melted to
bscome helpers in this work, and teachers
ard scholars spend one, day in April both
pleasantly and proftably in planting new
trees. This Ii an. excellent idea, and

The British Government is really be.
set with troubles. In addition to the
Irish and Soudan difficulties, the govern
ment has for some time past been on the
verge of war with Russia, to settle dis

conflict of claim to territory between
these two great powers, but for the fact
that the embarrassed condition of Rus
sian finances will not permit that empire
to engage In war, where any other set.
Element 10 possible. Therefore It is likely
this threatened conflict will be adjusted
without conflict at arma. In Canada,
however, the government Ia confronted
by live and vigorous rebellion, led in
the Northwest by shrewd and deter.
mined halfbreed Indian, named Riel.
The country there is sparcely inhabited,
and it is difficult to reach the. rebels.
The Canadian government is calling out
the forces Of the Dominion to meet the
rebellion, but SO far the followers of Riel
have been more than match for the
government traops. England will have
to crush this insurrection, or IL may grow
to such proportions as TO lose her the
British possessions In North America.
Altogether, The government Of Great
Britain has more threatening and an
noying difficulties on hand than any Of
the greater powers at this time.

The late frosts do not seem to have
materially damaged the peach crop
in this section. / think the crop will
be sufficient for eating and canning
purposes.
Anything said with reference to
the apple crop is, as yet, a matter Of
conjecture. 1t is predicted that there
will be an abundant bloom, which
may be true, and yet the crop not be
a good one IN consequence Of the quail
ity of the boom. 1t is a fact recog-
nized by all fruit growers, that one
kind of a bloom never develops into
a persistent apple, which fact bota-
nists can account for, presume.
The wheat by spreading and grow
ing some, is considerably improved
in appearance, but it is far too thin
on the ground as yet.
The oat crop is large and appears
well.

"they say" that Mr.. J. N. Myers rode
horse partly across the river the
other day, which horse did crawl on
the bottom with its head under the
water, nor would he quit riding that
horse so long as the saddle girth was
faithful to its trust. But alas! that
girth broke, and the water being too
swift to stand, Mr.. Myers anchored
to bush until relief came. If you
want to know whether the water was
cold or not ask him. / am not in

l have just made a calculation and
find that the first frost will come on

Windmills are sold at prices regula-
ted by the diameter Of the big wheel,
and these wheels are usually made of
fixed sizes. Thus the smallest size
usually has wheel 81 feet in diameter.
1t will raise In the course Of the day
5000 gallons Of water into Il tank 20
feet above the level Of the water source.
Such windmill will cost $3.50. includ-
ing plain tower or derrick TO support
1t. That is about the right thing for
tho ordinary farm. Where there Is
plenty OF stock to water. and the far
mer wants to keep big tank filled in
the top Of the house for the benefit OF
the women folks. he may put in a 10
foot mill, or even one that has a l2-
foot wheel. The 10foot mill will pump
1900 gallons of water % feet high in a
day, and will cost $3.50. while the II.
foot wheel will raise 5000 gallons a
water, and will cost him S2l0. Farmers
generally. even dairy farmers. do not
care for much larger wheels; but man
ufacturers turn out mills with wheels

but on the prairies. where the wind
never ceases to blow. the railroad men
can rely on the windmills, which cost
less to run. although the big ones are
expensive to buy. The largest size
costs 81. 200. but it will raise 100, 600
gallons of water n day. Although
scores of patents have been issued on
windmills. there is no great difference
between the various makes so far as an
ordinary observer can see. Instead of
the four picturesque arms and broad
sails that furnish power to the old-style
Holland mills and those that attract
the eye all over the world, the Amcri-
can mill has a wheel that looks like IL
circular window shutter. the narrow
wooden Stats of which radiate from
near the center The shaft of the wheel
runs across bearings on top of the
tower, and beyond that is the big fan
which keeps the wheel faced toward
the wind. There is one wheel made of
iron. sort Of wind turbine, that is
popular also. About the qucerest use
ever made of the old style grain-grind-
ing mills Is to be seen near Southamp-
ton. on Long Island. A summer resi-
dent has built Queen Ammo addition
to one, and uses the combination as "A
summer residence. Windmills are no
longer of any use for anything but
pumping. but for that they are about
perfection. Ohio and Illinois have the
largest factories for turning out wind
mills. In addition to the home market
there is good sale in South America
and elsewhere abroad. a. T. sun.
