LAFAYETTE, July 22Today was temperance
day at Battle-Ground Camp meeting. and all lee
lures delivered were in support Of that movement.
In the forenoon, Miss Downey delivered in
teresting Bible reading on the subject Of Love,
the Fruit of the Spirit" The morning sermon
by DR.. Leonard was a strong argument in favor
of Temperance. He gave statistics showing the
death rate of those addicted to drink and teeto-
taers, and showed that the former were much
more liable to sunstroke, epidemes, etc. The
lecture lasted till 1890. and attracted large
audience. In the afternoon DR.. Marine gave a
lecture on the same subject, followed by'another
address by DR.. Leonard.

The recently published volume Of the proceed

cultural Science gives list of the experiment
stations i'll the United States, when organized
their financial means. cost Of outfit. land occu-
pied their working force and their publications
There are now nine State organizations. besides
the Houghton Farm Station, which, sustained
by single individual, has performed very valu-
able and efficient work. The largest financial
aid is given to the New York station. being 500
600 year; most Of the others range from So 900
to SIS. 000 received from the respective States in
which they are established, while New Jersey
has ST., 900. Besides these experiment sta
tons several of the colleges carry a series of
experiments as n part OF their work Taken as
a whole, these institutions numbering more than
twenty. are developing an amount of scientific
information 10 connection with farm practices
of the highest Importance ard value, which can
not fail in the course of years to result in great
Improvement in many ways. They are using
appliances beyond the reach of individual
farmers and conducting experiments to an ex.
tent not at al! practicable on private estates ex-
cept in such extreme instances as those of Sir J.
b. Lawes at Rothamsted, in England and
Lawson Valentine, at Mountainsville in this
country, whose ample means enable them to
give TO the public the results of their investi-
cations which are likely to prove Of incalcuable
benefit to the community. Doctor Gilbert. in
his lecture at Rutgers College stated that the
great cost of scientifically conducted field ex-
periments has prevented more extended prose
cution of them, and that the RothamStead field
experiments, independently of all the laboratory
Investigations connected with them, cost more
than So 600 annually.
There is no appropriation by State legislatures,
doubtless. which will return SO heavy revenue
to their public treasures those devoted to
their respective State experiment stations in
the examples they will set of intelligent and
skillful cultivation. and in the light they throw
on many questions in practice. Hundreds per
haps thousands of the best farmers, visit those
stations, aud acquire practical ideas of great i'm.
portance. which they carry home ard impart to
their neighbors by successful work in their corn
! fields; while the reports and bulletins prove of
great benefit. There is single department in
these stations which has already saved the farm
ers of different States many hundred thousand
dollars, in placing the sale of commercial fertil
zers above the reach of fraud. driving out i'm
posters, and proving an eminent protection to all
honorable dealers

A DEBATE DECLINED.
Judge Foraker Refuses Discussion with
DR.. Leonard for Excellent Reasons.

CINCINNATI. July 22.--The correspondence be-
tween II. S. Thompson. chairman of the Prohi-
bition State committee. and Asa S. Bushrell
chairman of the Republican State committee
will be printed here tomorrow, in which
Thompson asks Bushnell to arrange for one or
more joint debates between Judge Foraker Re-
publican candidate for Governor, and Rev. Dr.
Leonard, Prohibition candidate for the same
office, upon the question at issue, as Mr.
Thompson says, between your party and ours
viz: the taxation versus the prohibition of the
liquor traffic"
Captain Bushnell replies, saying there is no
such issue. Many Republicans favor prohibition
and many oppose it. The party is neither for
nor against it, and regards that question as non
political, to be settled by the people irrespective
OF parties 1t has in its platform recognized the
light of the people to change the Constitution.
but meantime, because the present Constitution
must govern until change is made. the Repub
llcan party has declared In favor OF the taxation
of the liquor traffic and regulations to suppress
the evils resulting therefrom. These positions
Judge Foraker would MAINTAIN, but as an issue
does not exist as proposed, he would be obliged
to deci line the proposition.
Another reason why the discussion could not
| take place. Captain Bushnell says, is that DR..
Leonard in II speech. had declared that the
first step toward prohibition is to kill the
Republican party" thus making himself the
| avowed ally of the Democratic party. To have
discussion between Judge Foraker and DR..
Leonard. therefore. would be to have the candi-
date OF one of the great parties of the State
debating with the nominee of what is only an
attempted diversion in favor of the other great
party of the State. If the Democratic party
will promote Dr. Leonard to the head of its
organization, and make him its acknowledged
leader, he is now its acknowledged ally
Judge Foraker, he was sure, would be glad to
discuss with him any or all issues arising be-
tween the parties represented.
