THE EXTRA SESSION.

The Legislature convened in Nash
vile last Monday, in accordance with
the Governors proclamation, most of
the members being in their places.
Quite number of bills have been in
troduced, and referred to proper COM
mittees, covering all the points
named in the Governors proclama-
ton. The registration bill is likely
to make trouble again, as the Demo-
Gratis seem determined to push it
through, and'the Republicans equal
ly determined to defeat it. In the
wrangle over this bill there is a pos
sibility that amounts almost to a
probability, of defeating other very
necessary legislation. The revenue
and appropriation bills will get
through without a doubt, but the
time of the session may be so taken
up in the discussion over the regis
tration bill as to preclude any chance
for the passage Of other bills. Both
sides are stubborn, and time alone
can tell the result.

that of Agriculture. The late Com
missioner spent his time from June
to November making speeches for
Blaine and the new Commissioner
appointed by President Cleveland
found a very small unexpended
balance left him for carrying on the
Department for three months, or
until the appropriations Of the next
fiscal year shall become available.
How this state of affairs has been
brought about is easy to see. There
is no doubt that funds have been
largely used to promote the election
of the Republican candidate for the
Presidency. For the purpose of car
rying favor and gaining votes, the
salaries Of employees in various States
have been largely increased. Thus,
in one instance, man in the statisti-
cal department out in Kansas had his
salary raised from $500 to $1,000,
while his chief in the bureauat Wash
ington only gets 81, 800. This whole
sale distribution of the funds of the
department for political purposes
soon ran away with the appropria-
ton, and to this as much as to any
other cause the bankrupt condition
of the Agricultural Bureau is to be
attributed. The original intent of
Congress in appropriating money for
the distribution of seeds was to buy
rare grains beyond the reach Of ordi-
nary agriculturists and to distribute
them as to improve the character OF
our crops. Instead of this, however,
the recent Commissioner bought for
free distribution ordinary seeds to be
found in every seed store in the coun-
try. The true character of these
common seeds was hidden under high
sounding names, and they were sent
by Congressman broadcast through.
out their districts for the purpose Of
making votes. For the last five years
the bureau has not introduced a sin
gle new grain of any value, nor ha;
it done one thing to aid the true in
terests of agriculture.

Tribute Of Respect.

WHEREAs-It has pleased the Su-
preme Architect of the Universe to
remove from our midst on the Dist

voted to its welfare and prosperity.
One who was wise in council and
fearless in action ; an honest and up
right man; whose virtues endeared
him, not only to his brethren of the
Order, but to all his fellow men.
REsoLvED-That this Lodge ten

family and relations of our deceased
brother in their sad afflictiOn.

RUST.

Rust may not disturb either wheat
or oats this season, but it is safe to
watch for it and in case it should
appear, either in wheat or oats, the
grain should be promptly cut. In
case of rust in oats, let the oats be
moved promptly for hay. Oats make
splendid hay. So does wheat when
cut at proper stage. But even for
grain, wheat effected with rust on
the stalk, will generally make more
and better grain to cut even when
apparently too green, than let stand.
Cutting destroys the rust, and the sap
left in the wheat straw, after cutting,
more Or less natures the grain. 1t is
generally much better to cut either
wheat or oats at any stage if violent
ly attacked by rust. We hope to
have no trouble with this pest, but il
it should come, it is generally best to
cut it at once, and if too green for
grain it will make hay.

Wagon Loads of Gold and Silver.

CINCINNATI, May 24.-Col. L. Mark
brett, the assistant United States treas
urer at this place, to-day removed sue
cessfully the coin and currency in his
care from the old postofice building at
Fourth and Vine to the new quarters on
the second floor of the new Government
building at Fifth and Walnut streets.
There was some apprehension that the
removal might be attended with danger
from daring robbers, but the utmost
care was taken to prevent loss. The
contract for removal was given to the
Adams Express Company, and was ex.
ecuted with the strictest fidelity under
the personal superintendent of the AS.
sistant Treasurer and his officers. The
work began at 8 a. m. and was COM
pleted at 4 p. m. One million dollars
in silver required ten wagon loads.
The gold was less troublesome, and the
paper money, although greater in

Washington Letter.

To those who expected a grand and
startling transformation scene as soon
as Mr.. Cleveland was fairly in Office,
the present condition of things is
very disappointing. But to those
who know that startling transforma-
ton is not necessarily reformation,
and that the latter can be attained
only through careful and well con-
sidered action, there is much for en-
enlargement. The magnitude of the
wholesome changes that have taken
place is known best by those who
will never tell it. All the Republi-
can clerks in all the Departments are
working better and accomplishing
more, drinking less, paying their old
debts and enjoying better health than
ever before. They are doing more
work because the Secretaries of the
different Departments have given
them to understand that idle clerks
will be discharged, and have empha-
sized their meaning by turning some
idlers out. Their improved health
is attributable to the fact that orders
have gone out that absence on ac-
count of sickness will be deducted
from the thirty days summer vaca-
ton that has been given Government
clerks. This order has had such a
healthy effect that absence from al
lodged sickness has declined fully
one hundred per cent. Indebtedness
and drunkneSs have declined because
it is understood that decency, compe-
tency and honesty will be insisted
upon by this Democratic Admins
tratiOn. These reforms are best
known by the Republican clerks
themselves but they are kind of re-
form that reflects but little glory upon
them or their party. No rogue will
boast that he has been whipped into
honesty. / venture to predict that
in about nine months from now
when the work of the first year OF
the new administration can be re-
viewed, a very favorable showing
will be made and it will be found not
only that larger amount of work
has been done, but that it has beer
accomplished more economically anC
with smaller force. In a month
from now it is believed that very i'm
portant changes will have been made
1t has been found impracticable t.
make these changes as rapidly as wa.
desired owing partly to the lack o
acquaintance of Mr.. Cleveland anC
his Cabinet with tho routine and the
personnel of the different bureaus, anC
partly to the conflicting claims of the
many applicants for Office. But the
knowledge necessary to intelligent
action is being rapidly acquired anC

ALTHOUGH the wheat crop in some
parts of the United States will be
very short, other wheat producing
countries will have a bountiful crop,
and it is said that the accumulation
of wheat all over the world is suffi-
cient to prevent any fancy prices for
bread for the present year. Now
that all danger Of war between Eng
gland and Russia is past, for this year
at least, the supply of wheat will be
fully up to the demand, and it is not
likely to get above present prices,
only in isolated localities with poor
shipping facilities.

MAKING HAY.

The time for making hay is near at
hand, and as this is an important
crop for the farmer, as many of them
know from experience during the
past winter and spring, they should
be ready for the work. They should
make it a point to save every pound
of hay possible, and at time and in
such condition as will insure it to be
good, sweet, tender, nutricious food.
While quantity should be an object,
it must be cut at the proper stage,
when fairly in bloom and well cured
without rain or due and as little hot
sun as possible. The idea is to cut it
before it becomes dry and hard, while
it is tender, and simply expose it to
heat and dry air sufficient to evapO-
rate the water, leaving all the nutri-
cious elements in the hay. After
this it should be carefully housed or
protected from the weather. Let it
all be made and saved in the best
possible manner, and if properly
taken care of and fed judiciously, will
save the grain which is much more
expensive to make than hay.

battle with the English cutter Genesta in the

weather, and Puritan won the deciding one
yesterday in a moderate breeze and smooth
water. While it is not actually decided that the
Puritan is the yacht that will be selected to de-
fend the American cup. it is almost certain that
she Will be chosen at a meeting of the New York
Yacht club to be held during this week. The
Puritan won by II seconds, actual time; cor

With sheets off about three points. and every
stitch OF canvas drawing. the Priscilla gradually
drew up on the white sloOp, and had there been
another mile to go she certainly would have
passed her, for she was only forty-three seconds
behind her at the finish. Every steamer in the
vicinity saluted the yachts at the finish.
The arrangements for the American cup
races are all complete, and the committee have
issued their program. The first race, on Septem-
Der Z, Will be over a course twenty miles to
windward and return from Sandy Hook light
ship. The second race, on September 3, is to be
over the regular club course, and if a third is
necessary 1t will be sailed over a triangular out
side course. A steamer, exclusively for men,
bers and ladies' will follow the yachts.
