a recent novelty is growing hyacinths
in sponge. The bulbs are set deep in holes
made in the sponge, closing it over them,
and then placed in vases. Water 60 to 20
degrees heat is poured in the vases until
the sponge is half covered. The bulbs
sprout in two or three days and in six
weeks the plants are large enough to
flower. After the first week the sponge
may be hidden by sowing rape seed upon
il. In this situation the plants may have
LIQUID manures applied to them.

very unwise and selfish. Iffarmers should

RICHARD THOMAS MERRIcK.

The illness of Mr.. Richard T. Merrck
terminated fatally shortly after 10 o'clock
this morning, and the anxious suspense
of the last two weeks is ended There
were times when hisphysicians had hopes
and his friends felt encouraged. The
vitality of the patient was wonderfully
maintained, and even so late as last even
ing his recovery was thought possible, but
il was merely an alienation. There was
no steady progress toward convalescence
and exhausted nature sank at last to q
point from which there was no rebound
Mr.. Merrick's loss will be universally
deplored. lie was a good citizen and
gifted man. His standing at the bar was
one of well-earned and well-deserved
pre-eminencc, his learning in the law and
his forensic powers being of high order.
Few men were his superiors in logical de-
bate, and he was likewise richly endowed
with the gifts of oratory that most win
popular applause.
In his private and social relations Mr..
Merrick appeared to equally good advan-
tage. He was man of accomplishments
that lent agreeabeness to his companion
ship, of genial temperament that won
him may friendships and of hospitable
nature that never wearied in its dispensa-
tions. 1t was, in short, a very pleasing
and symmetrical character which he has
left to the sorrowing remembrance of his
fellow-citizens, and his epitaph will be
written in lines of light, most precious of
all to the wife, the children and the
stricken relatives, who knew him best and
upon whom the catastrophe Of his death
falls with an unutterable anguish.

FAIR PLAY THE BEST PLAY.

The discussion of local school affairs
has taken an acrimonious turn that can
scarcely be productive of good results.
The high standard of our school manage
ment, organization and discipline cannot
be controverted. The board of trustees is
capable of justly and wisely determining
all questions at issue. The facts have been
more fully presented to the board than
to the public, and the decision can be
safely left to the former.
1t is difficult to see what good can come
frem harsh newspaper animadversions
upon any prominent and progressive edu-
Gator. The correctness of the position
taken by General Birney may not be alto
gether apparent, and if wrong, it is clearly
the business of the board TO override him,
but General Birneys devotion to the edu-
.-cational cause and his ability and zeal
entitle his recommendations to at least re-
spectful consideration. Evenif they prove
to be impracticable or disadvaltageous,
as is not impossible, he is entitled to the
credit Of an honest error of judgment.

Great statue Of beloved Liberty,
A royal welcome would we give TO thee.
Thou art the substance of an artists dream,
sign OF international esteem.
Thou askest not to sit, nor drink, nor eat,
But are content TO stand upon thy feet,
And yet IL seems a molar-drawing task
TO get the dimes to grant the boon you ask.
Thy mOnstrous feet east far into the shade
The pedals of the famed Chicago maid;
Let inexperence be our formal plea
For not providing earlier for thee.
We've got the WILL and, by the ocean blue
Well get the money and foundation, too,
And set thee on thy feet, o statue great,
To light the harbor and the Sheol Gate.

TARIFF REFORM TALK.

Between the New York Associated
Press and Representatives Morrison of llli-
nois n wide chasm seems to have sud-
denly yawned on the subject Of next win
ter's tariff legislation.
The dispatch sent out by the Associated
Press last evening causes the Illinois
statesman to say that he proposes to intro
duce another tariff bill early in the first
session of the new Congress, and states,
by implication at least, that he has thor
oughly matured the legislation which he
proposes to precipitate.
Mr.. Morrison, on the other hand, says
that he is entirely misinterpreted in this
dispatch, and that as yet he has given the
matter no special attention, excepting to
the extent that believing reduction of
taxes desirable and the customs revenue
as much as ever in need of reform, he and
probably others will have plans to submit
to Congress for the promotion of these
ends.
The difference in these statements is
not material, but The CRITIC begs leave to
suggest that if Mr.. Morrison orany other
Member of Congress has it in serious con-
temptation to renew the tariff agitation
next winter, it is high time that the
nature of the measure to be introduced
were determined upon. 1t is great and
complicated subject, and if we are not mis-
taken in the casual views we have taken
of the way it has been handled heretofore,
the opponents of tariff reform have gen.
orally displayed a closer familiarity with
the question than its advocates, and
smarter tactics in It's manipulation.
Our revenue reform friends should,
therefore, go into the fight well-equipped
with men and munitions if they are going
into it at all. 1t will never doto wait un-
til after the holidays to draft bin and
count noses.

THE ARSENAL GROUNDS coNcEnrs.

General Gibson deserves the thanks OF
the community for establishing what
promises to be popular and permanent
entertainment. Every afternoon, except
Sunday, the excellent regimental band of
the Third Artillery discourses sweet music
under the spreading elms of the Arsenal
grounds. From 5 to every evening warm
and weary mortals seek the grateful shade
and listen TO well-chosen and well-ren-
dered selections from popular operas and
leading composers.
There could be no more charming sum
mer evening resort, and there could
scarcely be a more healthful and pleasant
way TO spend the hours preceding sunset
The concert is well timed TO meet the re-
quirements Of busy people, who have the
best claim to popular entertainments Of
this kind. A movement calculated TO in
duce the people TO seek the health-giving
influences of these beautiful grounds at a
season when city life is oppressive should
be welcomed and commended,
