THE MATTHEWS APPOINTMENT
1t Does Not Give Satisfaction at Wash
ingtOn.

ingtOn.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-The appoint
ment of James Campbell Matthews. the
cOlored lawyer and Democratic politician
Of Albany, N. Y, to the position of Re
corder Of Deeds OF the District of CoIum-
bia to succeed Frederick Douglass con-
tinues to excite unfaYOrable comment
among Democrats.
There were a number of prominent
white Democrats of the District who
sought the position. They and their
friends are very angry, because a colored
man from Albany succeeded in having
their applications and petitions set aside.
There are not a few cOlOred Democrats
in Washington. They form the nucleus
Of an organization which they have in-
tended TO use to encourage cOlored men in
the Southern States to throw Off the yoke
OF Repubiicanism. They are as displeased
IS the white Democrats over Mat
thews' appointment. While they ad-
init that their race has been hon
ored they say that Matthews is a car
pet bagger. The leaders OF the c0lored
Democrats think that as long as colOred
man was to succeed Mr.. Douglass he
ought to have been man who lived in
Washington. The members OF the Demo-
cratic committee of the District are
specially displeased at the appointment.
The Democrats say that 1t was hard to
stand Frederick Douglass as the head Of
the most important bureau of the District
government, bat they had to put up
with 1t under the Republican Adminstra-
tion. In their opinion white Democrat
should have succeeded Douglass.
Congressman Norwood is reported as
saying: ''lt is the worst example of car
pet bagism | ever heard Otto go 20 AL
bany and bring Northern negro down
here 20 I'LL so good an Office. Couldn't the
President find suitable man in this dis
trictp' Other Democrats deprecate the
appointment and speak Of it with indig-
nant sadness as foolish mistake.
There is some talk of organized Demo-
cratic opposition in the Senate to Mat
thews' confirmation. There is more talk
of concerted effort to induce the Presi-
dent TO withdraw the nomination. The
selection Of Matthews is attributed by
many to the influence Of Secretary Man
ming,

Inc EXPERIMENT. IA sOubn O&roi1nH De
clared q Failure.
WASHINGTON. March 7.-Commis-
sioner Collnan, of the Department of Ag-
riculture, has quite an unfayorable re-
report upon the government tea farm at
Summeryille, 5. c. Mr.. Vardell, the su.
perintendent, writes him that the severe
winter and protracted cold weather
stripped the tea plants of their foliage.
he says he thinks some varieties are dead
TO the root. He has found one variety
standing IN certain places that endures
the cold better than the others, and from
which no leaves have fallen He is now
engaged in plowing between these
plants, but says he discourages all
applications for them because they are
evidently enieebled bY tine cold weather
and in no condition for removal. Commits
sioner Colman is understood to be of the
opinion that this experimental tea farm
better be abandoned, as he is having
propagated on the grounds of the depart
ment tea plants in sufficient number to
meet all the calls for them.

porarily bury their roots with earth at
once. When this Is done, planting may be
done at leisure.
Prepare the soil well by deep working
with spade or plow. In ten years six
properly planted trees will be worth more
than dozen that were set A. II they were
posts.
In digging nursery trees many roots are
cut OF. Offset this by shortening the top,
cutting back each branch one.third or one
half
Unfrui,ful trees need manure at the
roots, and opening or thinning out OF the
head.
II there Is no strawberry patch on the
farm, make one. Never mind the kind /;
plant that which can be most readily had.
Any is better than none. SO with cur
rants, raspoerries and blackberries, make
Q beginning.
Every farmers family should have all
the gispes it can eat. Plant dozen vines
OF the Concord now, and Afterwards con.
slider what better varieties may be planted.
The Concord will produce tolerable grapes
In abundance, and create taste for some
thing better. Vines may be set around
