Every intelligent farmer is always on the lookou, for something th.t will ben eft either his stock, his trees CT his land. We have before us a new forage plant which has won its way on it's own merits into the affections of European farmers, superseding alfalfa in every comparison. Esperce,, or Turkey clover, is a peren- nial plant resembling alfalfa in it's nature and growth, but surpassing it in its cur. ing and growing capacities. The plan, grows without irrigation and has already become success in the arid portions such as Nevada and Colorado, where farmers are shipping large quantities from Europe this fall. It now remains for California to try its merits. |, is claimed for this plant that it will not bloa stock, that horses keep fat while working -s.;'he~+ fseainy krui"5 rhar-rUws Itv1 plenty of rich milk when fed on it; and that it makes far superior hay to alfalfa San Louis Obispo Tribune.

THE PRoSPRCToR'S FIELD.

An era of rich mining strikes and new discoveries says the Florence Enterprise seems to have dawned upon the western country and good. aews of this character is heralded from all portions of the min ing sections. In Arizona the past few months have revealed treasures of q value undreamed sf, and this seems to be a specially favored land in this respect. There is hardly mining district in the Territory that has been thoroughly pros pectsd, and many of the richest mines are still unrevealed to mankind The mining industry is one of great promise and the application of capital and intel ligently directed energy will bring into prominence some of the greatest mines yet discovered, within this Territory. And still there remains broad field for the prospector's search with even chances that he discovers deposits of precious metals that are fully equal to any yet developed In this new era of rich dis ceveries there is hope for great revival Ia the mining industry in the Territory.

Every once in while national elec- ton demonstrates that the present mode of electing president is radically wrong. The system of electing electors was bar rowed by our forefathers from the ancient electorial system ot Venice. The people were to vote for body of high muck-a- mucks, who, in theirin6nite wisdom, were to select ruler for them. In the late contest about 1000 more people in this United States voted for Cleveland than for Harrison and yet the latter is our next president. Some cold morning the electors will decide to abide by the decision of the people, and cast their votes for the man who receives the pop ular endorsement at the polls. Then the constitution will be amended and the elected by popular vote.

A week ago the EPrTAPH took occas- ion to assert that it knew that "bOedle" had been raised two years ago and also this year to remove the capitol to Phenix and yet no one dared deny that such was not the case. It is possible that the EPITAPH's familiarity with the move ment at the last legislature might enable it to g,ve names, facts and figures m con- nection with the scheme, that would not be altogether acceptable to parties who now favor it, but didn't then. And of the kingdom of poodle there is no limit.

Some of the grandest old veterans oi the glorious army who fought the battles of their country in the rebellion, are rapidly passing away from the sorrows, the hardships, the shadows of this life. They fought and died without murmur. Their bravery won some of the greatest and most decisi ve victories of the war, and when the clouds of carnage were swept aside, they returned to the ways of place and to the various employments which they had followed before the war. They begged for no pensions, nor engin. eered back pay steals, but were as silent regardingltheir services to their country as Grant, Sheridan or every other true soldier. This noble vereran, the horse, who will ever live in the history, the poetry, the hearts of their country. and are worthy objects of imitation for some he professional veterans.

What is inc meaning of all this clatte

What is inc meaning of all this clatter about the sou,h1 The popular majority for Cleveland in the so-called Southern States, says the Chicago Herald, is but 100000 more than the popular majority for Harrison in the so-called Northern States. There is not as much evidence of intimidation and fraud at the election in the South as there is in the North. There is every reason to believe that the vote in Georgia, for example, or in Ken lucky, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and many other Southern States was less in fuenced by bribery and intimidation than was Indiana and New York. More especially as half dozen ofthe Southern States were saved to the Democracy only by the narrowest majorities.
