ciated, probably, more highly than any other,
because it credits the paper with being q great
teacher, both morally and spiritually, two
virtues alone worth more than anything else.
We have no doubt that Mr.. James's letter will
be read with the closest interest:

II. d. p, Fremont, Tenn: Please inform
me how to reboil sorghum syrup or destroy
the capitalization. have four hundred gallons and
1t is turning to a soft sugar. Is there any way in
making sorghum syrup by which the above granting
"can be avodedg'
How to make sugar from sorghum has been
for long time great desideratum-not how
to prevent crystalization, but how to develop
it. Your experience is rather exceptional.
Stopping the boiling before crystalization
begins is the remedy. The sugar will not
crystalze until the water has been evaporated
to certain point. Take small quantity of
your syrup, and add water and boil and set
aside to see if it crystalizes again-you can
soon learn by trial the proper amount to add.
In future crops stop boiling little sooner than
you have been in the habit of doing.

Coolers require pretty good land-neither
too sandy and light-nor too clayey and close.
They grow best on lime soils. Break the land
well, lay off rows four feet apart and drop two
seeds in hills two feet apart. Phosphate may
be put in drill to advantage. Plant in March.
Cultivate like cotton, with heel scrape, run
ming farther and farther from the main stem
as the branches spread out. The soil around
the plants should be kept loose till the fruit
begins to form. AS the fruit has to 20 down

branches should not be moved by the plow af-

Mr.. CLEVELAND appears to be the
choice of the English and Scotch press
with whom General Harrison and Morton
find no favor. The latter gentlemen are to
be congratulated. There was one paper
quoted in the dispatches of June Both as
favoring General Harrison, and that was
the leading Parnell organ of Dublin. But
all others, of all shades of English politi-
cal faith, smile upon Mr.. Cleveland and his
tariff message, and congratulate him upon
his denomination. Probably this favor is
to be accounted for by the remark of a
Birmingham paper, "to some extent we
are interested in this contest" The
Ihunderer certainly comprehended the
weight of its words when it declared that
" the only benefit England receives from
lrishmen is when they emigrate to Amer
lea and vote for free trade" The English
UnioDist organ that declared that "the
President has made himself the propa-
gator of free-trade principles evidently
understood American politics better than

the President that which the English pa
per credits him with.

For an example of mean jou nalism
commend us to the Philadelphia Record
on the Fourth of July. On that day Dr.
Shurtlef wrote to it, asking why it sup
pressed the facts in the review of General
Harrison's record in the Senate that he
voted for the last anti Chinese bill passed.
The Record thereupon squirmed and twisted
and went over all the votes once more, I'M
til it reached the last, when it said: "The
vote by which the last bill on the subject
of Chinese immigration was passed, on the
LIST Of June, 1886, is not given in the Con-
gressioad Record" 1t adds that if some
one will furnish the data it will supply any
omission it has made. Data, forsooth !
The Record knew the fact, but is too parti-
san and hidebound to state it manfully.
DR.. Shurtlef was justified in his express
sion when he said: "Meaner than an
outright liar is the man that tells a half
truth"

THIS is the concise, incisive and straight
forward way in which Senator Edmunds
puts it, and there is no man who is better
qualified by observation and ability to
judge: at may be safely asserted that
there has not been, since the foundation of
the government, more sweeping and per-
sistent and political removal of citizens
holding minor offices and employments
than under the present administration. At
first it was done, in some degree, under the
representation that the officers in question
had been guilty Of undue political activity
or misconduct in office, or inefliciency
these accusations being supported by affida-
Wits made in secret and kept secret in the
possession of the President, or the depart
ments. In most instances they were grossly
untrue, and in some perjured, and the
officers accused were denied all knowledge
and inspection of the charges and all
means of defense. The authors of misrep-
resentation and perjury having accomp.
lished their purpose, were screened from
criminal prosecution and public contempt
while their helpless victims were expelled
from Office under profession of reform in
the civil service

doubly attractive by rare art works con-
tributed by the Italian Government. But
as the proposition is based on an exchange.
and emanated from this side in that form,
it will afford our manufacturers peculiarly
favorable conditions under which to get a
few of their machines and tools officially
introduced. 1t is, therefore, to be hoped
that since the Italian Government signifies
its willingness to effect such exchange,
the public spirit on this side, and To-
cal pride, will insure its contamination.
