HOUSE PLANTS.

The first frost usually finds the
housewife not quite prepared in spite
of numerous resolves to take the
plants in early this year. We are
apt to defer attending to them too
long and the sudden transition from
the cool outdoor air, and perhaps
half-shade, to the sunny window, is
so abrupt that they are retarded in
growth while trying to become eli
mated. 1t is the better way to be-
gin early and remove the potted
plants to the wood shed or shelter
ed porch, then into cool room and
in week or two as soon as growth
is fairly started again, they may be
safely set in the places intended for
them.
Ignorance in regard to the proper
treatment of different specimens and
a selection of those ILL fitted to the
temperature and dryness of our Iiv-
ing rooms, furnishes sickly stunted
plants that are the reverse of the
decoration for which they were in
tended. 1t is not infrequent that we
find family sitting -room in which
all the windows are filled with plants
which obscure the outdoor view and
screen the room from the healthy
sunlight of which shut-in women get
too little IN winter.
There is also temptation to take
up more plants than can be wisely
attended to and strength is taxed in
the care of them. Moderation must
be urged upon the flower lover if her
time is well occupied with other du-
ties lest she assume too great bur-
den when her pet plants are carried
in for the winter But there are a
number of plants which will surely
reward little trouble and flourish
we'll in the ordinary living room.
The Gala is source of much
pleasure because of its ready re-
spouse to good care and its rapid
growth. 1t will bear a rich soil and
every morning pint of quite warm
water should be poured on the top
and not into the saucer as is some
times directed. Do not fail to water
each day at about the same time so
there will be no dryness of the soil at
any time and if the water is warm
the growth will be surprising. The
leaves of a Gala if washed with a
soft sponge and warm water as often
as once in two weeks will need no
other care.
Several varieties of the palm are
excellent for house culture they will
bear neglect well and endure heat
and cold but they are only decora-
tive and if bright blossoms are want
ed we must select the geranium and
other Towering plants. There is al
ways convenient place for an ivy
or Madeira vine and they need but
little care; yet the most accommo-
dating plants ought to have what
slight attention they do require, Civ
en- to them regularly. Spasmodic
watering or neglect on cold frosty
night will keep them in dwindling
sort of decline.
Hanging plants should be hung so
low as to be reached with ease and
then they will be watered daily.
Flowers, like other pets, need care
and love in order to thrive, and if
you do not really enjoy the work, do
not fill your windows with them just
because your neighbors do. The
true lover of plants may produce
more beauty with Tow of tin toma-
to cans as an outfit than another will
with small conservatory if she is
Indifferent to the needs and habits of
her plants. r. Farmer.

In regard to the Ohio democratic fraud
and outrage the Philadelphia Press says
public sentiment needs to be quickened
on this subject, and the present is a good
time to begin the work. The facts in the
Ohio case are clear and the evidence is
overwhelming of an attempt to nullify the
will of the people at the ballot-box, The
way to prevent such occurrences in the
future is to sustain the people of that State
in taking every legal means to redress the
wrong and to make it evident that similar
crimes will be punished. no matter by
which party they may be committed

Biennial Elections.
WHAT CosGREssMAS REED SAYS AGAINST
THEM.

| At a hearing before the committee of the
! Massachusetts, Legislature. Tuesday, on the
subject Of changing the election laws, State
Treasurer A. w. Beard appeared to remon-
strate against the adoption Of biennial cleo
tons. In the course of his remarks he sub
mi-ted letters from Congressman Long and
Reed. Mr. Reeds letter is as follows;
House of Representatives.
Washington, d. C, Jan. 25, 1886. !
NV dear Sir,-Your letter asking my opin-
| ion Of biennial elections has just been re-
ceived. think we made great mistake in
Ma ne in changing our constitution in that
regard. The project was submitted to the
people at the time when a great contest for
supremacy in other matters was going on be-
tween the two political parties, then verv
closely matched, and there no oppor-
tunity for full discussion. The amendment
was ssed without suitable consideration
Il will not be possible to go over the whole
subject in such letter as this | can only
say in a few words that the plan of refusing
the people the right to review every year the
doings of their representatives, seems TO me
to be one of the many expedients which are
always starting up to carry on government
of the people without the people. It IS, of
course an Inconvenience for vested rights.
privileges and institutions to be reviewed
every year by the people. but it is of the es-
sence OF republican government. When you
double the prize for which corrupt politicians
or interested mOnopOlists may strive by max
ing two wears of power the stake, instead of
one, YOU double the incentive to fraud in cleo
tons, to bribery and wrongdoing, and divide
by two the power of the people to correct
| lan and ntshH .htln at
servants. If you wish the benefits of free
government, YOU must take the methods
even if they are onerous. If the people
are to govern, they have got to take
the trouble to govern Government by
the people will not run itself. All approx
nations toward despotism will-for while.
Contrive it by whatever institutions you may,
by wisdom from inside or wisdom from out
side, no people can ever have better govern
ment than they can make for themselves. If
they allow the ignorant, the scheming politl-
clans or anv one else to govern them while
they have the voting power, and frequent OPP
portunities to exercise it, they deserve no
better government, and will be sure in the
end not to get 1t
After all the plans for avoiding elections,
for concentrating power IN the hands OF may
ors. governors and presidents have duly failed
and brought their due disasters. we shall be-
think ourselves of that true system of gov
eminent which finds its best exposition in the
New England town, the system of making eve
ry citizen Interested in the government, by de-
manding of him every year to say what he
thinks of his servants and their acts, and teach
ing him to eschew, as inventions of Satan,
all these schemes for getting himself governed
without bother. Very truly yours.
