aRArU1rous TO OUR p. NJ.

1t may be well to observe for the ben
eft of those who do not know. that the
new postmasters that were appointed
Thursday by Mr.. Cleveland at WYan-
dctte, Lawrence and Topeka, all were
appointed to I'LL new terms, the commits
sions ofthe incumbents having just ex-
PRED. Mr.. s. F. MurphY's commission
does not expire until January, 1888,
about which time some good Democrat
will probably be appointed to fill the
Emporia postoffice. OF course we do
not know anything about it. but
judging from what President Cleveland
has done and from what the Democrats
before his election said about his civil
service ideas, we should think that the
president would hardly interfere with a
postoffice where no reform could be
made except for revenue purposes oHly,
and that in behalf of some uneasy sppll-
cant. Mr.. Murphy is typical product
of civil service ideas. He commenced at
the bottom of the ladder in the Emporia
postoffice and has gone gradually up,
round by round, to his present position,
which we believe he grsces with as good
ability and valuable services 70 the
general public as any postmaster
In the state. Mr.. Cleveland may
not happen to see this item in his copy
of the DAILY NEWS, aud seeing it he
might not be influenced by it, he new
ertheless does seem to be Influenced in
similar cases by the facts that are herein
set forth. A Democrat seeking good
office, and Democrat seeking the good
conduct of the Office are often two very
different beings.

the iron clad Snyder was killed on his
place. and this year the Kittattnny had
suffered more than last year.
T. A. Colman said crop of kittannnY
every three years was worth more to him
than . crop Of Snyders every year.
The committee on marketing fruits re-
ported that several new strawberry
patches, planted last spring. would bear
their first crop this year, and that there
was possibility of the market being
over-supplied this season. Hence they
would suggest the propriety of berry
growers getting boxes and crates ready
in good season.
Mr.. Byran said that the towns and
cities N the western part Of the state had
never been halt supplied with berries:
and that they looked to Lawrence for All
their supplies OF small fruits. Most
varieties in the vineyards are il excel
lent condition. especially the the Con
cord, Brighton, Agawaln, Goethe,
Indy. Wilder and Jefferson.
A. 81. Griesa said that On his grounds

Kansas Fruit Culture.

The Horticultural society met at
Lawrence and had an unusually large at
tendance at their meeting Thursday In
the hall of the State universally. The
reports on fruit prospects we're lull and
very interesting. Z. A. Colman said
that there were an abundance of apple
buds; that his trees had made an unusu-
ally large growth last year; that they
had not been damaged by the intensity
of the winter.
Joseph Savage said that his peach
trees were not as much Injured by the
winter as he supposed they would be
when he made his report at the last
meeting.
J. W. Byram, of Cedar Grove, said that
as late as the middle of February he
thought the peach crop in Chase county
all alive, but later he discovered that
they were about all dead.
The committee reported cherries, all
except the sweet varieties, alive.
Mr.. Byram advocated the planting and

larger than In their native country. He
continued by saying that many were
