GROVER and Thurman have both
been unfortunate in their utterances
on the second term question. Grover
will be equally unfortunate in his es-
say for second term Of office. In
view of Growers ten thousand dollar
subscription to his election fund,
Humans utterances in 1872 were
prophetic. The old Roman said then,
in speech at Columbus:
MY friends, you will never have
any genuine reform in the civil ser
vice until you adopt the one-term
principle in reference to the presi-
dency. So long as the incumbent can
hope for a second term he will use the
immense patronage of the govern
ment to procure his denomination and
secure his reelection"
He has probably learned wisdom
with old age and has OutgrOwn the
idea so clearly expressed, concerning
the eorrupting influences of second
term ideas in the presiden tial bonnet.

THE long debated and much mixed
question of the relation of the knights
of Labor to the Catholic church is at
last settled, and settled in favor of the
knights, who, as long as the constitu-
ton Of the order remains as it is, will
not be debarred from the privileges Of
the church on account of membership
in the order. Some eighteen months
since this decision was virtually
reached, but no decree was issued. A
decree adverse to the order in Canada
having been issued, through the eff
forts of Cardinal Gibbons this present
decree from the papal see has been
secured, setting the question at rest
for good.

GROVER CLEVELAND has done IL
once too often. In vetoing the pen
sion bill for relief of Mrs. Mary Ann
Dougherty, he went behind the re-
turns and denounced her as woman
of bad character, asserting that she
had been ARRESTED for drunkenness,
larceny, creating disturbances and
misdemeanors. The Woman's Ma
tional League of Washington has
taken up the case of the poor Irish
woman. After a complete and critical
examination of the police records of
her precinct, where she has long
lived, they fail to find a single in
stance in which she has been arrest
ed, and they come before congress
with petition asking the privilege
of prosecuting President Cleveland for
libelling Mrs. Dougherty. The head
lines to the brief as presented to con-
gress are Grover Cleveland assails
the character of Mary Ann Dougher-
ty." HE vetoed her pension bill and
then denounced her to the whole
country as drunken and worthless
THE charges against her proven

Door slandered Irish woman the re

less abusive in his treatment of sol

Few farmers give enough attention

Take cabbage seed for instance. Every
year there are acres of cabbage stumps
set and the seed put on the market
which is comparatively worthless. The
seed should be grown from cabbage
heads carefully selected in the fall;
those which least resemble the true
type of the variety should be cast aside
and sold. only the true stock being
kept for resetting for seed.
No farmer who proposes to grow
onions for market should buy seed that
he knows nothing about Price is nc

dollar per pound. and some grower has
