JAPAN CLOVER.

The editor of the st. Louis Journal
of Agriculture has lately made a trip
throughout the south for the purpose
of personally inspecting the qualities
of Japan clover. He found it univer-
sally esteemed, but no systematic meth
cd of either sowing the seed or saving
the hay. The plant grows wild in all
conceivable kinds of soils and is GER
tainly r%enovating the old, worn out
cotton lands OF the south. Cattle,
horses and hogs in the section where
this clover has sprung up (nO one
seems to know where it o~riginated),
are fat and thrifty, which is something
unusual at this season of the year for
the southen country. The farmers with
whom he %conversed consider it d God
send to that section. In many places
he saw it growing luxuriantly on per-
pendicular red clay banks, along the
public highways and in gullies aud
washes. In the old. worn out cotton
fields it seems to thrive amazingly. He
found no one who has ever sown a seed
Of this plant and but one farmer who

National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1886-06-10

The importation of Matthews from Al
bany, n. Y, by the administration, to take
the position now filed so satisfactorily by
Frederick Douglass, was an unfortunate
and an unpopular act. 1t is generally be.
lievGd that II originated with Secretary
Manning, to secure the services of a sltillful
manipulation Of patronage for the Democ-
racy by q local colored boss, experienced
in New York politics. The Republican
press at Albany characterized Matthews as
n most offensive and mean partisan. By
what mode OF reasoning can the Presi-
dent invite Douglass to resign aud ask
a Republican Senate to confirm his nomina-
ton Of a man when he boldly declares that
he would remove Republican from office
who was less Of an offensive partisan than
Matthew'S
A Republican Senate can afford to pause
before advising and consentlng to fill the
offices OF the District OF Columbia from the
state Of New York, state that has the
President, two Cabinet officers, the treasurer
Of the United States, and many other high
officials not necessary now to mention.
1t would seem but fair to give District
Democrats, who have no votes, the Local
offices, and not import colored boss to dc
scavenger work, in bestowlng mental posi-
tions on colored men.
The President should have an opportunity
and the benefit OF "sober second thought,
and the responsibility then of appointing
Matthews after the Senate adjourns. 1
will furnish practical example to the peo
pie how much the President is in love witt
genuine civil service reform.
This Office, the recorder OF deeds, is pc
culiarly local Office. The recorder is pai
by fees collected from the people OF th
District of Columbia.
The Democracy of New York, who hav
national, state, and municipal patronage
so vast and so lucrative, may well ad
wise the President to give the Democrac
of the District the local offices OF the Dis
trict. II they have no one competent t
fill the position, then let that grand ol
man, Frederick Douglass, who has done S
much for his race, continue to hold tn
Office.
