I have been initiating this simple
course. The raspberry rows that have
been kept mulched for five or six years,
mostly with their own prunnings,
sheared off in lengths straight enough
to lie close and fiat, have done admiral

bed of Cumberland has not been dug or
replanted for eight years, and is now
as well set with strong, healthy-looking
plants as most others. As soon as
practicable after picking is over, the
old exhausted plants are chopped out
and their runners thinned TO eighteen
or twenty inches apart. This is heroic
work, and seems to leave nothing but
devastation, but it is rapidly done, and
when the autumn rains come strong,
new growth sets in, and l take care
that there is no competing growth.
The soil is mostly clay, some of it
heavy, but this, compact as it gets
under this system of little tillage,
yields quite as well as any of the mel
lower loan. This method of culture is
well suited for female fruit growers, as
there is very little heavy labor attend
ing it. but there is never any lack OF
something to do. except just in the hot
test of the summer and the dead OF the
winter.-C6r. Rural NeU YORKER.

SUPPORTING HARRISON.

Independent Papers of New York for the
Republican Ticket.
The Rochester (N. " E0LkSblGt, an
able German newspaper, that sup
ported Cleveland in 1884, has come
out for Harrison and protection. It is
diSgusted at Cleveland's disregard of
his reform pledges, in securing re-
nomination, and is too American to
stand the free-trade Mills bill. On this
point it says:
The Mills bill, representing the principles
laid down by Fir. Cleveland in his message on
the tariff question, signifies nothing less than
the ruin OF our industries. 4 revision Of the
tariff, giving all the advantages to the South,
and paralyzjng or Gripping the industries OF
the North. We can not possibly advocate
protection for the South and free trade for
he North-this is the long and the short of
the Cleveland-Mills so-called tariff reform.
This IS by no means imagination, and we have
no des re to brighten any body, but 1t is COM
plete reality, and, therefore, the irresistible
logic Of facts compels US to oppose Mr.. CIeve-
land to the last.
In this position the Tol5sbldt,
doubtless, represents a large proper
ton of the reading, thinking German
American population. Its desertioD
is only another evidence of the unmis-
taxable drift of things in New York.
The campaign has hardly begun, yet

tinguish Cleveland puny majority in

tial, Independent papers in the State,

supported Cleveland in 1884, are now
vigorously opposing his reelection.
They are the Buffalo Ne1Cs, the SYRIA
cuse Herald, the Utica Press and the

Independent, an able independent re-
ligious journal that supported ST.
John in 1884, is now for Harrison and
Morton. Besides these, the independ-
ent Democratic Rochester Post-Erpress
and the Democratic Albany Times are
mercilessly stabbing Cleveland in the
back, although nominally supporting
him. The effect of such change as
this in the Independent press can not
be mistaken. The influence of the
seven papers named will at a reason

sand votes to the Democratic Presi-
Dental ticket. What is more serious,
the Democracy is receiving no access

yet no journal of any importance in

DOES WEALTH CORRUPT g?
yyaItcrScott's Theory That Saving, Not
Getting. Is the Mother OF Riches.

Walter SCOTS Theory That Saving, Not
Getting, Is the Mother of Riches.
Wealth is said to corrupt our species.
We do not believe it. Wealth is one
of the great civilizers of man. Wealth
corrupts when it is suddenly got, or
uniustly distributed; when, owing to
monopolies or entails. or some other
'barbarous system. it is prevented from
diffusing itself naturally and justly.
But where all have an equal chance;
where all start nearly even; where all
have certain degree of instruction to
begin with; where superior skill and
virtue alone give one man an adyan-
tage over another, there wealth is an
unmiXed blessing.
We ought to rejoice that the desire
of wealth IS so universal and so strong.
It keeps the vast machinery of the
world going. 1t has suggested the
most beneficent enterprises and the
most useful We owe to
it the fact that man who can earn one
dollar day can be better lodged, bet
ter fed, letter clothed, better taught,
than kings and mobiles could five hun
dred years ago.
Sir Walter Scott truly says that saw
ing, not getting, is the mother OF
riches. This truth is wonderfully il
Illustrated in the history of some families
once poor but now noted for their
wealth.
John Jacob Aston had brother, not
so well known as himself, but who
possessed in an eminent degree the pc
culiar characteristic of the family-the
art of saving money. 1t is told Of him
by an old New Yorker. that intending
to operate upon the feelings of an &C
uuaintance of whom he was about to
make some purchases, he gave to the
son of the latter, who was playing
about the store entrance, bright
penny. The trade having been con-
cluded, the thrifty Aston said to the
little fellow: johnny, you've played
nit the penny long enough; give it
back to me-"
Johnny, much surprised and not a
little disheartened, handed over the
penny, and Astor, depositing it in his
pocket, walked of. He became very
rich man.-N. 7. Ledger.

A QUEER SCHEME.

1t Did Not Work SO Well as He
Wished.
There is man in Los Angeles by the
name of Hardy Moulton who has good
head for schemes, the story of which is
as follows: He had heard that police
officers sometimes took bribes when
they had good chance, and he conceived
the idea of bribery agency or a corrup.
ton trust. His plan was to arrange be-
forehand with one officer after another
that he (Moulton) should 60 into some
opium joint and smoke. Then at a given
time the officer was to rush in and find
him there and threaten to arrest
the proprietor. The latter would
be glad to put up $50 OF
thereabouts to get safely out oi
the scrape and the two conspirators
would divide the booty. in this way the
producer and consumer would be brought
together and he as middle man would
get his fifty per cent.
He unfolded this brilliant scheme to
an officer on Also street yesterday and
the latter promptly arrested him on the
charge of attempted blackmail. Moulton
told the story to the Chief at the station
and asserted that he had already worked
his scheme with admirable success with
several members of the force. He was
kept in the Jail over night, but yesterday
morning the District Attorney decided
that there was no case against him and
he was allowed to go free.

Just0 Or0scO ON Trial In the Supe.
riOr Court.
Justo Orosco, Mexican, was on trial
before Judge Cheney in Department No.
l of the Superior Court on charge of
assault with intent to commit rape. The
testimony which was taken went to show
that one day last September Orosco went
to the saloon of a man by the name of
Chevalliera. at Los Nietos, while the lat
ter was absent, and seized his wife, An
gellita, with purpose that could not be
questioned. The woman struggled Wig
orously and shouted for help. She de-
Tended herself for some time, and at last
some one came up and Orosco ran away.
The parties to the affair had been en-
gagged to be married some time before
Angellita had married Chevalliera. This
fact was brought out by the defense in
cross-examination. Orosco declared on
the witness stand that the woman had
offered no resistance to his caresses.

ABOUT THE CITY.
SCHEME FOR MONEY-MAKING

Yesterday afternoon q well dressed
young man came to Officer Fowle and
said that he wanted the assistance of the
police in recovering valuable diamond
ring which he had lost through singu-
lar species of embezzlement. A few
nights before he had paid visit to Maud
Silverstone, of Alameda street, and upon
her admiring the ring he had loaned it to
her to wear. Yesterday he went to her
place and asked that it be returned to
him. She said that it was gone, that a
man whom she did not know
had taken it off her hand and
would not give it back. The
regret which she expressed was hardly
accepted by the young man as genuine,
and he had thought best to make inves-
legations. He returned to the place
with the officer and again demanded the
ring, only to hear again the same tale.
Every WE'LL" said tie officer to the
young man; "now you have told me of
this affair, you will have to prosecute it,
and you may both of you come with me
to the station"
The woman went back into the rooms
to put on her hat and cloak, leaving the
two outside. Presently she called the
officer in and said:
sit just occurs to me, Mr.. Policeman,
that perhaps l lost that ring. Suppose
we look about the room for it."
Officer Fowle grinned, and intimated
that he had heard something like that
before. However, he assisted in the
search, and after moving about several
pieces OF furniture a bright sparkle of
light appeared in dusty corner under
washstand. 1t was the ring. The officer
drew it out and gave it to the young man,
who went away thankful.

How a Candidate Got the Names of

There are number of young men who
have had their eyes opened in the last few
days. One of them, who was candi-
date for nice municipal office, said that
he gave up the fight because he had
found that political promises were like
pie-crust. 1t was his first experience in the
political arena, and he was perfectly
dazed at the easy way in which public
men could forfeit their words. Two days
ago, he was certain of election yesterday
he awoke to the fact that he was without
a single hacker he could depend upon.
This reminds us of an experience in the
the late Captain Stanley. He was an
independent candidate for Sheriff of this
canvass. Whenever he asked a man to
vote for him and got what ne consid-
cred an affirmative answer, he would
put his name down in a little book he
carried for the purpose. When the
votes were counted, the Captains name
appeared on the returns among the
scattering" He afterwards consoled
himself, when speaking about his sweep
ing defeat, by saying that if he had
polled but q handful of votes at the
election, he had got in his passbook the
nemes Of fifteen hundred liars!
