Elections ms Educators.

For such a presidential election as that of
1885 with its fair and open struggle be
tween two natural opposed political princi-
pies, and its consequent influence as pol
itical educator of the American democracy,
there need be nothing but congratulations
for the country, let its cost be what it may.
There have been elections over which no
such congratulations could be uttered-elec-
tions in which the cost was as great and the
educational results nothing or next to moth
ing but no such criticism can be aimed at
the election of this year. There are very
few voters in this country who have not in
November IA far larger and more distinct
knowledge of the economic principles which
underle their political beliefs than they had
six months ago; and, whatever may be the
party result of the election, this educational
result is, after all, the fundamental reason
for the existence of the presidential election
itself. And as we see this result continually
coming into greater prominence, we may
congratulate ourselves more heartily on the
wisdom which gave us such an educational
force, and ON its new proof that democracy
is not the rule Of ignorance, but a system of
self education. Topics Of the Time, NOreHt-

4 KErrLEFUL or sILrER COIN
Buried Treasure dug from the Rhode
Island shore.


James VI. Eddy, of Olneyville. r. l., has
unearthed kettle of very old Spanish
coins, which he believes are part Of Capt.
Kidd's buried treasure His digging has
been done 10y direction Of an old pamphlet
Mr.. Eddy's grandfather, Amasa Eddy, Is
said To have sailed the seas with Capt
Kidd and later was lieutenant governor in
the time of Gov Dorr. He was % years
old when he died, and he left among other
things curious old document. This parch
ment contained directions regarding the
burial place of Pirate Kidd and his sup
posed treasure, and they were as unique as
the story books usually make such direc-
tions. The finder of the hidden wealth
must 90 from a nail on somebody's barn to
the southeast corner Of an oak tree root :;
thence as the crow flies, and so ON. And
both Amasa Eddy, 2d, and James Eddy
have puzzled over the time-worn papers for
many years.
James owns a farm at or near Horse
Neck Beach, Westpont The beach is a
wild windswept strip of sand and coarse
grass stretching out TO sea and just across
the river from Westport harbor, the sum
mer resort To this farm James Eddy has
for long time devoted himself. He has
not been engaged in tilling the soil, but in
digging it up, hunting for gold which he
firmly believes is concealed there. At in-
tel walls he has amused himself by fishing in
the ponds around Fall River, Mass, but he
has always had the farm by the ocean in
mind, and has persistently dug for some
thing which he expected could pay better
than crops.
Eddy was boring into the ground as usu-
al the other day when he struck an old
fashioned iron kettle. In this kettle were
the 1850 silver coins worn smooth, and not
in very perfect state of preservation.
Twelve hundred of them are Spanish
dollars of the date of l1l5, and the reign
nf Ferdinand VII. Three hundred and
fifty were strange looking coins, which ex-
perts have not accounted for. On the OBJ
verse side is the date of l1S1, with this in-
scripton, "Sil Nomen Domins Benedic-
tions The reverse side bore these marks,
"I.ud WI d. q, +. r. Et Nov Rex The
diverse side of the 1900 Spanish dollars
bears the date l7l5. and the following in
scription "Ferd VII, Del Gratia.' On the
other side are the words, "Hispauo Et Rex
Ind. NJ. f. r. |. z" The fortune hunter
loaded his valuable find in a wagon and
went ON his way to Providence, returning
in due time TO his digging.

AT the New York Experiment station.

From Annual Report.
The station has about two acres of ground de-
voted to alfalfa, and. although it may be fairly
stated that the seed is expensive and large vege-
tations not certain after soiliDg, the five years
experience as shown here certainly indicates, if
not proves, that alfalfa will thrive and do well
in this climate. and where good seedlings
secured will yield large. valuable crop, espec-
tally through dry weather. After repeated trials
all OF the cows alta prickly comfrey with relish
and four of them voracionsly. The last cutting
of fodder was given the cows as drawn from the
plat without the addition of salt or meal.
In ensilage the lesson of trials seems to be
that the condition requisite for the successful
silo is exclusion of the air and the presence of
sufficient moisture The means kof obtaining
this condition may be various. but these trials
indicate that the weight on the upper layers of
the material is sufficient to furnish the com pres
sion required for the successful preservation of
the material below it, and as this compression is
sufficiently accomplished before putrefactive
fermentation can occur, there is but compare
tive slight loss through decay of the upper por-
ton, while the actual surface exposed to the air
becomes rather dry and in a measure protective.
1t is to be noted that the upper layer whose de-
struction protects the remainder, becomes de-
composed only. M:ldew and browning in enss-
lage does not render it unpaatable to cattle;
indeed, in dried fodder-corn it appears to act AS
a relish. The true province of ensilage is to
supplement other foods and to serve condi-
ment food appetizer. For this pur-
pose the ACID has been found, in the one careful
trial made, to be beneficial

BILE seems to DE with the business houses that
