To THE EDITOR: As the carp is almost the

a great many are interested in carp culture, /

AMericda Ag,icaha,ist Of January, 1880, found
Il description of carp as given by Prof. Baird, u.
S. Fish Commissioner at Washington. ID. c.,
whereupon | made application, and in due
time received 30, averaging about four inches
long, of the three varieties, viz: Leather, mir
ror and scale carp This was in the Fall of
1885, which will make my largest carp five
years old this Spring Now, you see, received
them from the first general distribution made
by the Government through Prof. Baird, and
If he distributed any pure German carp / have

and weighs about Ia pounds; and have from
that size down to three inches.
This large enc 1 speak Of is a mirror carp, and
has scales larger than 25-cent piece. My
pond was the first one built for carp in this sec
ton of the country. 1t is about 40 feet wide
and 140 feet long, and when full has about
seven feet OF water at deepest point. 1t is built
on the southeast side of a considerable slope

IN A POSITION TO KNOW.

L. C. Glessner, who was the osten-
sible editor of the Sedalia Democrat,
during the campaign in 1884, in
speaking Of the truce patched up be-
tween Congressman Heard and Rus
sell, says:
"a man can afford to eat large
quantities of humble pie for the sake
OF getting a $4,000 Office. And a
congressman is frequently willing to
forgive and even reward his enemies,
if he thinks he can thereby better his
chances for reelection. There was
no reason for the fight on Heard in
the first place, except as it might ben
eft another candidate, who was, IN
sporting phrase, "better hee:ed," and
would "come down" more literally.
Glessner was in a position to know
who was "heeled," and who would
"come down." and of course, speaks b!
card. Ultimately the whole truth
and the true inwardn IS of the 3.
csmpaign-who was "heeled, and VII,
"came down" will be brought to light
and God speed the day.

the keynote of much of the embarass-

in the following:
Party politics have been the curse
otAmerican workingmeu, and PROBES

Dor cause whenever and wherever
their shiny fingers have been permitted
to desecrate it. Avoid the pests
Keep them out of the order, and

and guard your own interests well.
Do not vote for a bad man because be

and do vote for a good one if be has
been nominated by your political foes.
Never mind the cracking of the party
lash, but show your manhood by re-
fusing to bow to the caucus rule OF
