Chemicals and Yard Manures.

Tho results of FIVE years of expert
ments with commercial and barn-yard
manures on the Agricultural College
farm at Columbia, Mo-, as set forth in
recent report on the same by Prof. j.
w. Sanborn, are briefly as follows:
In good years, with plentiful supply
of moisture, chemical manures gave
larger yield of wheat than yard manure,
while in dry years the result was the re-
verse. The gain of land treated with
chemicals over that on which no fertili-
ger Of any kind was used was mostly or
possibly wholly due to the nitrogen 10
the chemicals. Chemicals may be use
lessly used, and it is such misuse, or
unintelligent use, that gives rise to the
cry that they are valueless.
Prof Sanborn advises farmers to at
tempt to use chemicals (uot including
lime, plaster or salt) only after intelli-
gent buying, careful study of soil by
comparative tests. and then on horticul-
tural crops mainly, including potatoes.
This advice will not apply, however,
when wheat approximates 81 bushel,
or when soils are largely deficient in
potash or phosphoric acid.

THE FOUR JEWELS.

Twas sung of old in hut and hall
How once king in evil hour
Hung musing DER his castle wall,
And lost in idle dreams, let fall
Into the sea his ring OF power.
Then, let him sorrow as he might,
And pledge his daughter and his throne
To who restored the jewel bright,
The broken spell would ne'er unite;
The grim old ocean held its own.
Those awful powers on man that walt
On man, the beggar or the king,
To hove bare or hall of state
A magic ring that masters fate
With each succeeding birthday bring,
Therein are set four jewels rare;
Pearl winter, summers ruby blaze,
Springs emerald, and, than oil more fair,
Falls pensive opal, doomed to bear
A heart of fire bedreamed with haze.
To him the simple spell who knows
The spirits of the ring to sway,
Fresh power with every sunrise flows,
And royal pursuivants are those
That fly his mandates to obey.
But he that with slackened will
Dreams of things past and things to be
From them the charm is slipping still,
And drops ere he suspect the ILL.,,
Into the inexorable sea.

uNAssAILARLE GROUND.
Why Congregational Elections Can VI
Brought within National Control.

Why Congressional Elections Can I5e
Brought within National Control.
Senator Chandler holds unassaila BILE
ground when he assumes that Con-
gressional elections are National
elections, in a sense broad enough to
bring them within National control
The only obvious objection to his bill
is that it is limited in the applica-
ton of its provisions. There should
be uniform standard of qualification
for voters at National elections. South
Carolina or Rhode Island. Pennsyl-
vania or Tennessee. Massachusetts or
Florida may each have right to pre-
scribe or direct property qualification.
as Rhode Island does. or a tax-paving
qualification, as Pennsylvania does,
for voters at State elections, but the
qualification 10 vote upon National IS
sues involved in the election of Presi-
dents and Congressman should be one
aud the same in all States.
1t is well to decree that tho ''certifi-
cate of registration in South Carolina
shall not have attached any voting
conditions relative to property or 9TH
er qualifications. but if such decree be
made and enforced as to South Caro-
lima it should be made and enforced as
to every other State. The one thing
that Republicanism can not do and
live is TO frame either sectional or
class legislation. What is demanded
by every instinct of justice is that Ma
;ioual elections shall be as free and
fair in Southern as in the Northern tier
Of States It's notorious that they are
not. Mr. Chambers bill provides
means for the enforcement Of fairness
in National elections, and it should be
made applicable to every precinct in
which poIling-piaee is opened in
every State.
1t may be a debatable point as 10
whether non-tax payers should be in
trusted with the voting power, but 1T
is not debatable point that if the
power to prohibit them from voting
exists in Rhode Island or Pennsylvania
or Georgia. it exists everywhere. And
If South Carolina or Texas can so ar
range its polling-placcs and its hours
of voting rs 10 prey..st all but those
who can ride thither from the exercise
of the ballot. it follows that Illinois or
Indiana can do likewise 1t is doubt
less true that the founders Of the Re-
public contemplated manhood suffrage,
without other check or limit than
soundness Of mind and freedom from
conviction Of crime. and it is very
doubtful whether more iHdicious
standard Of qualification cam be de-
vised. Bur whatever the standard be.
Il should be the same everywhere.-
