Randall Think. Thsrs win DO No Extra

Session..
WAsHINGroS, Feb. 22-Mr. Randall,
chairman of the House Committee on
Appropriations, is Of the opinion there
will be no extra session Of Congress. BE
says all the regular appropriation bills
will be passed by the House before the
end Of this week. ia i i.
! The Naval bill will be called up for fur
ther discussion tomorrow, and after its
passage the consideration Of the general
.deaeiency vii, be asked. 3 The appropria-
tion committee will report the sundry
civil bill tomorrow, and Randall will en-
deayor 10 secure its passage on Wednes-
day under aLstis Pensi9n of the rules. The
fertilization bill #ill .be probably reported
inthe House By Thursday. It will be
similar 10 the bill last year making provis.
ion simply for the, repairand preservation
ofexisting work 8 An effort will be made by
the friends Of the River and Harbor bill to
secure an hour lieach day for It's
consideration until completed. y During
the.next six days Of the session, beginning
with next Wednesday, motions 10 suspend
the rules will be in order at any time
when the House, is not in Committee Of
theEWhole or engaged with unfinished
business, but in view OF the large amount
ofwork to be done on theappropriation bills
there Is. not much probability that
many appointments will be presented for
taking advantage OF this during the week.

Miller, Jr., formerly of Charleston, died al

cupy a desk In the Auditor Of States
office, where he had remained ever since.
he was gentlemanly in his bearing and
in short time became q general fayorite.

doubtful II he had an enemy. His loss
will be severely felt In Wheeling and the
bereayed parents and Charleston relatives
and friends will have the heartfelt sym.
pathy Of all those here who counted Sam
Miller among their friends.
His disease was an aggravated case OF

rnE THEORY ANp AIM.

Ensilage rests on the idea that il sums
mer could be made to last all the year, so
far. as the food is concerned, live stock
would do as well in winter as in summer
their growth would not be retarded, their
meat would retain its juices in full flow
and their milk and. butter would be, as
pleasing TO the-eye and taste in JANUARY
as in August. The intelligent farmer
knows that In the curing bis forage crops
loose in those qualities which make them
most nutritious and grateful 10 the ami
NAL. He knows that the atmosphere abb
serbs what the stock ought. to have and
much OF which, by natural rotation,
would, be returned TO the soil il the essen.
tial elements could be preserved with the
food for winter feeding. He Is aware that
the winter feeding, except in the lower
latitudes, Is . serious matter in the
farm economy. The farmer would change
all this II he could, and this is the aim OF
the siloist The testimony in his behalf
Is so strong that It would be idle TO deny
the large measure OF his success. The
progress Of the system, as maryelousa as 1t
has been, has been retarded by the ex-
trayagant claims Of some Of Its praetis
TONERS and jealous advocates. So far as 1
am able to Judge from what have heard
and seen, the merits Of the system intelli-
gently practiced are great enough without
claiming for Il. the earth andtthe fullness
thereof.

ticle does not afford space to give in de-
tail the yarious'plans Of construction. The

boards and foored with concrete. Itmay
be placed in an excayated hillside. II may
be built in the barn; or again II may be
built entirely above ground as Mr.. Cars

shown to-day and filed with the presery-
ed forage-Il have made the accompany

klS2, Judge Samuel Woods, in his
address TO the people of the State, in
urging the ratification Of the present Com
stltutiou, declared that it made mo change
whatever in the system Of taxation.n
That was Democratic campaign docu-
ment oIthe official stamp. With this
understanding the present Constitution
was ntlaed by the people. That was the
Intention, and It was acquiesced until
Governor Jackson, driven by party neces-
dty, arbitrarily oyerthrew the intent Of
the people. In this case, "contempo-
