WHEAT FOR DIFFERENT SOILS.
Interesting Information Furnished by In
telligent Observers.

telligent Observers.
Iii quite well known that varieties that
succeed well in some sections of the
country prove Improbable in others under
different conditions of soil and climate
New varieties are also being constantly
introduced, and it is desirable to learn
when and where they succeed or fail in
order that as little loss as possible may
be sustained by making unnecessary eX-
periments with sorts not adapted to ones
own locality. Some interesting informa
ton of this kind is furnished in the re-
ports of Intelligent observers to the agri
cultural department at Washington.
The Michigan Agricultural college re.
ports that the imported varieties Geno-
ese, white Crimean, Egyptian and Indian
grew vigorously in the fall, but were
not sufficiently hardy to withstand the
winter. Extra early Oakley proved too
tender for this latitude The Diehl Med
iterranean, bearded variety, stood thick
on the ground; no smut OF rust; was ready
for harvesting July /, the berry being
plump and hard. The McGhee white
showed some rust on the leaves, but no
smut, ripened unevenly
Missouri experiment station reports:
The Crimean, a coarse wheat, mostly win
ter, killed, The Indian and Egyptian
wheat, all winter, killed. The Diehl Med
iterranean stood the winter well and gave
q good berry. The Genoese, a failure. The
McGhee white gave a moderate yield of
most beautiful wheat of light color, with
a pearly luster, and ripened June 16. From
Pawnee county, Neb., the Sheriff wheat is
reported as badly winter killed.

The need of harder varieties of roses
than we now have is made apparent over
a large part of the rich prairies west and
northwest of Lake Michigan, where no
variety less hardy than the yellow Harri
son can be grown unless more care is
given in the way of winter protection
than is usually bestowed by the average
owner of prairie homestead. Professor
Budd closes his letter with the remark
that the professional rose growers should
take up this much needed work" The
editor of American Garden heartily in
dorses the professors remarks and calls
attention to the new variety, Nine.
Georges Bruant, and Mr.. E. S. Carman's
success in the same line, as sufficient en-
enlargement to induce our rose growers
to systematic efforts in this field of prom
Use.
The experiments of Mr. Carman on the
grounds of The Rural New Yorker have
resulted in sixty hybrids between Rosa
rugosa with pollen from many different
roses. One of the first of these to bloom
this season is, explains the editor of The
Weekly World, hybrid between r. ru-
gosa and Harrisons yellow. The flower
is surprise; it has twenty petals, and
the color is far from that of either it's
father plant yellow or it's mother plant
Ia light pink The color is almost that Of
Gen. Jacqueminot.
The hybrid rose depicted in our cut.
Nine. Georges Bruant, is the result of
flower of X. rugosa fortified by the pol
len of Sombreuil The plant is said to
inherit the hardy constitution Of the
mother plant, and having foliage much
like that of rugosa, while in the flower it
resembles tea rose; the flower is white,
semi-double and fragrant, and is particu.
larry attractive in the bud.

100000. Out of this large number of ad-
herents to the church there is only one
colored priest in this country, the Rev. A.
Tolton, pastor of st. Joseph's church,
Quincy, Ill. He was a slave before the
war, and is a full blooded African. In
Rome and other parts of Europe colored
priests have charge of colored parishes.
A summary is given by one of the
Catholic journals of the Pope's encyclical
letter on Liberty" The chief points
given are: Liberty is liable to abuse.
Modern liberties are abuses. Natural
liberty belongs to men as rational beings
1t Is derived from the soul. 1t is, there
fore, dependent upon the int ellect. True
liberty, therefore, follows the dictates of
the intellect. Liberty needs to be helped
by a law. This law is an eternal law.
The individual law applied to society be-
comes humad law. Liberty is therefore
restrained by obedience-(a) in the indi-
vidual, to the natural law; (b) in society,
to the human law. Liberalism proper re-
fuses this obedience, and its own pleasure
is its only law. Another form of liberal
ism refuses obedience to eternal law in the
state, but acknowledges it in the lndivi-
dual. liberty VI WOreu1p SuOulu D6 re-
stricted by the true religion, and atheism
is contrary to reason. Religion in
the state confirms true morality.
Liberty of speach and writin5
should be restricted to the moral law.
Liberty of teaching should also be re-
stricted by the moral law and therefore
all teaching should fall within the truth.
Liberty of conscience should be restricted
to the true religion, and within these
limits boldly defended. Liberalism bears
evil fruits. God allows evil for greater
good. Rulers should keep this example
before them. But liberalism allows no
tolerance. Man should submit to God,
which liberalism does not allow. One
form of liberalism wishes to separate the
church from the state, and allow the
chorch to work thus separated. Another
form denies any power to the church
further than that of exhortation. Some
wish the church to go with the times. All
these opinions are false and should be
substituted by the true doctrine pre-
viously laid down. The church desires
her sons, except under certain conditions,
to take part in public affairs where posi-

"Parnelllsm and Crime"
=, tho onsa

From the st. Louis Republic.
To the people of the United States the
most interesting question of European
politics at the present time is that con-
nected with the proposed parliamentary
inquiry into the authenticity of the
letters which the London Times has pub
lished and declared to be Mr.. Parnell's,
but which Mr.. Parnell him
self pronounces impudent forgeries.
Viewed from this distance the issue seems
very simple. Nobody in America and
nobody in England except the dyed-in-
the-wool tories, has paid any serious at
tention to the iusinuations and denunci-
atioDs contained in the Times brutal
articles on "Parnellism and Crime" But
the letters published as Mr.. Parnell's
we're damning evidence of his guilt
if they were authentic, and equally damn
ing evidence of the Times gullibility aud
shameless partisanship if they are
forgeries. Upon the authenticity or
otherwise of these letters the whole
question hinges. If they were really
written by Mr.. Parnell and his authorship
OF them can be proven, his great political
career will end amid the excavations
of all good men. On the other
hand, if the letters are proven to be for
geries the great mass of the people will
care nothing whatever for the fabric of
imputation and scurrilous abuse which the
Times has built up around them, and
there will be Revision of feeling that
could not fail to aid powerfully the home
rule cause.
These facts are just as apparent in
England as here-just as we'll known in
the house of commons as among the
newspaper readers of the new world.
Under these circumstances the course of
the Balfour government in dealing with
the proposed commission of inquiry
can only have the effect of dis,
crediting Parnell's accusers. Assisted
by all his colleagues and backed up
by the liberal party, Mr.. Parne!l is en-
deavoring to have the commission in
structed to inquire first and chiefly into
the authenticity of these letters, and 10
restrict their Investigations to this point
until the question has been determined.
He has offered to accept the commission,
composed though it is of judges Sc
lected exclusively by the government
provided this vital and only important
point shall be first inquired into and set
tied. The government, on the other hand,
seems determined to use the proposed in
quiry as an excuse for throwing ont a
drag-net, in the hope of entangling some
Irish feet, and thus discrediting the Irish
cause, even though Parnell himself be vim
dicated from the fou' charge urged against
him by the Times.
In other words, the government propose
to go fishing in both deep and shallow
waters, in the hope of catching something
that will prove injurious to their political
opponents. They have shown plainly
that they intend, whether Parnell and his
parliamentary associates are guilty or not,
so to shape the inquiry that it shall either
prove abortive or shall furnish material
for discredlting the home rule cause.

A Desirable Hybrid Rose.

Professor Budd, of the Iowa state agri-
cultural college, thinks that the question
of the possible improvement of the beauti-
full foliaged Rosa rugosa ought to be
agitated. He writes:
$50 far as yet tried all of it's forms from
China, Japan, Poland, north Silesia and
central Russia are perfectly hardy and
perfect in foliage on the great prairies of
the west and northwest, where, under
common cultivation, nearly all the varie-
ties grown at the east either fail on &C
count of severe winters or imperfect foil.
age and flowers in hot, dry summer air.
Some of the red and white varieties of
east Europe have already developed all of
their stamens into petals, and there are
good reasons for believing that judicious
crossing and selection would soon give a
list of varieties uniting the grand foliage
Of the rugosa with the beauty and per.
fume of bloom of some of the favorite old
varieties"

1t is now understood that Mr..
Adams, president of the Union Pacific
Railway, the gentleman from BIOS
ting" has touched his enunciator and
sent message that the Idaho Diyis-
ion must support Mr.. Dubois for Del
egate to Congress in the coming cleo
ton. Aha! A great corporation with
headquarters in Boston interfering
with an election in faraway Idaho:
what will the honest voters of Idaho
say to this? What will voters OPP
pressed with high tariffs for travel and
freight because of lack of competition
say to this interference with their
local politics? Are we to be dictated
to from Boston and be told by Mr..
Adams whom we shall support and
elect to Congress2 We believe not;
we have too much confidence in the
independence and intelligence of the
voters of Idaho to belieye this. And
we have too much confidence in the
Superintendent of the Division to be-
lieve he will attempt to carry out
such Instructions; and more than all
the employees would not obey them if
they were given. The employees of
the road at Pocatello and along the
lines are intelligent men, men of in
dependence and men who know their
rights and dare maintain them. They
are not as dumb driven cattle to be
lead to the slaughter pen, they are
not like the factory hands of Mass
achusetts ready to cover and cringe
before bosses. All of them are proud
of their manliness, their independence
and their freedom and not one will
submit to dictation and domination
in the exercise Of his political fran
chise. They would scorn to be political
slaves and Mr.. Adams would find i'll
to his sorrow if he should dare at
tempt to enslave them. To the good
sense, honor and integrity Of the men
at Pocatello and along the lines from

an issue was not made in the begin

handed measure of debating the pol
tics of Idaho he will find later on
that there may be game Of tit for

There is a possibility that Mr.. Cleve-

tration of the Republican party and

Under exorbitant protection America
has lost the bulk of her foreign trade
and England has gobbled it up, and
now practically all we export is agri-
cultural produce and the amount of
that is gradually declining until there
will soon be no export at all. 1t is
a mistake to attribute all this to tariff
laws. Because England has prospered
in recent years that is no more reason
why it was caused BY free trade than
that protection was the cause of
Americas prosperity Both were in
eidents more or less connected with
the palpable result. But the excited
individuals who are telling the Amer
lean people that everything that is
good in this country is the result of
protection (why not everything that
is bad also0 might do well to ask
themselves why it is that England
has prospered as much under free
trade as the United States has under
protection.-Graphic.

is so excellent that it weighs, on an

The Republican party poses as the
friend of the worklngmen. Well, let
us see. When Grover Cleveland be-
came President the country lacked
three manufactures necessary to the
construction aud armament of modern
war vessels. There was no place
where the steel forgings for the heavier
guns could be cast. There was no
establishment where the armor for
ironclad vessels could be mauufact-
ured, nor was there any shop where
machine and rapid-fire guns could be
turned out. Now, all three manufac-
tories are in course of construction
under contract with our Navy De-
partment, and when finished will give
employment to large number of our
American mechanics. Work, such as
these shops will turn out, was under
Republican rule, done abroad. It will
be done here at home now, and this
ought to be very practical proof
that the Democratic party takes
practical way to foster American in
dustry.
