THAT EXPLANATION.

The publication of Senator Eimund's
letter in which he accounts for his re
mArkable silence during the last Presi-
Dental Campaign has attracted very
general attention and has had the effect
of subjecting the Author to some very
severe criticism. Among other caustic
comments. the following from Exon
gresham Casidy's paper. places the
venerable Senator in the light OF sdwel-
Ter in n very fimsy fabric, throwing
rocks at his neigLbor. mo one. says
the Sentinel. will dispute the great abil-
ity of Senator Edmunds both as n
statesman and as a lawyer. But has he
always deported himself in public life in
n manner to defy criticism? BY impli-
cation, he charges Mr.. Blaine with TAX
ing advantage of his official position to
make money. Is Senator Elmunds ell
tirrly free from the some vice? Many
people who are familiar with his course
will answer in the negative. It is noto-
rious that he is regularly retained by the
great railroad corporations Of the conn

preme Court OF the Uuited States. He
has even appeared i'll cases for the Cen
trail and Union Pac fc railroads, in
which the Government was involved,
and concerning which lie might be call
ed upon at any time 10 vote on as q
Senator representing the Government
and the people. So Glnring did this
abuse become, on the part OF lawyers
both in the Senate and the House, that
Senator Beck, of Kentucky, last Winter
introduced a bill tn prohibit any mem,
Der Of either House from accepting q
legal fee, or employment Of any kind,
from any railroad OF other corporation
having business before Congress. Sen,
ator Edmunds was one OF the very first
to jump the Beck bill, and was chiefly
instrumental in causing It's defeat. We
would not cast the slightest reflection
upon the private or public character OF
the great Vermont Senator, but we
submit that the record shows that he il
not wholly free himself from things
which he is given to condemn in others,
His whole course proves that lie is not
averse to ''casting All anchor to wind
ward" whenever he can gather in n good,
fat legal fee for his services.

II the above is bond Gde it shows
clearly that Mr. Rdmunds is much
more of u partisan than a patriot. Ac-
cording to the above his silence during
the Presidential campaign was not
maintained in the support of u princi-
pie which he could not bring himself to
violate. but simply because his utteran-
ces would impair the prospects of Mr..

be drawn from the above communica-
ton is, that with a full knowledge of
Mr.. Blaine's extreme unftness for the
high position he was seeking. Nr. Ed
munds' party prejudice approached so
near to bigotry that he preferred the
success OF Mr.. blaine, with all his sins
and imperfections on his head. to that
of any Democrat, however pure. ca
pablo and patriotic he might be. Such
sentiments are not those OF "A patriot. if
they are of Mr.. Edmunds. and that gen.
tlemau will not be raised in the public

might possibly improve his chances for

zion would certainly initiate against

want in a Chief Executive. is breadth
enough TO cover party linss when nee

Indefinite Be0ueSts.

The Maryland court of appeals has re-
Gently rendered an opinion on question
analogous to that raised in the case of
Mr.. Tilden's will-namely, as to the va
lidity Of a bequest for a purpose not
specially described by the testator, but
left largely to the discretion of the exc
cutOr or trustee.
In the Maryland will the testator, after
making number of specific requests,
directed the rest of his property to be
disposed of as follows:
Il give and bequeath and devise unto
Rev. FL. G. Bowers all the rest and resi-
due of my estate, and desire him to use
and appropriate the same for such relig-
ious and charitable purposes and objects
as will in his judgment best promote the
cause of Christ"
The court of appeals held this trust
void for the reason that it was s'too vague
and indefinite to be carried into effect"
1t was then. contended that the property
would go to the trustee, but the court re-
marked that cit is manifest from the
whole will that the testator never intend
ed to give him tins property in his own
right and for his own use," and decided
that the heirs were entitled to it-Ne1

FARM NOTES.

Onion seed sown now, and protected
with litter during the winter, will give
onions next spring.
If pure male is bred to mixed females
the issue toward the type of the pure
breed SO long as such male is used.
Those who have practiced soiling suffi-
GENTLY to test II know it to be a most
valuable aid in the economy of dairy
ing.
Extra feeding should not consist so
much in increasing the quantity as in bet
tering the quality of the food, If such a
thing can be done.
As soon as the ears have been taken
from the sweet corn the sweet corn the
stalks should be cut up and fed to the
COWS in as green condition as possible.
A COW calving in the fall, if properly
fed and cared for, will bring more profit
in year than if she calves in May, if
milk or butter is to be sold.
To kill moles an Illinois farmer puts
strychnine in pieces of liver the size of a
hickory nut, placing the pieces at differ
ent points in their runs.
Give the sheep a mess of ground oats
every evening from now until the lamb,
ing period. As soon as the grass fails
give them all the hay they can eat.
Every dairyman should be prepared to
feed green grass or green corn fodder in
the stable night and morning as soon
as the pasture begins to fail.
Do not let the blackberry and raspber-
ry canes grow up in grass, cultivate them
thoroughly, so as to secure greater growth
and stronger canes.
Throughout the entire year turkeys are
salabIe in lesser quantities for the city
hotels and restaurants chiefly, aud they
average well the year through.
