more seed was secured from Mr.. Her
man SprinGmeyer and planted along
side the first. Nearly all of this came
up and presented q very healthy
growth. The second batch had one
light shower on it, and the whole was
planted on dry. sandy soil, which was
never irrigated.
Thursday the editor visited tho first
planting and was surprised to Bee that
nearly all had come up, and some had
grown so we'll that it had gone to seed.
Tho plants were very vigorous and
green, and from one root twenty-five
stalks we're counted, aud some of these
plants were covered with seed pods.
Although the ground was perfectly dry
the plants did not show the slightest
sign of suffering from drouth, but were
green and vigorous. Alfalfa, which
had been planted near the espercet, had
died out from lack Of irrigation. AL
though some of the seed had been in
over two months it bad just begun to
sprout, while other plants right along
side had become considerable matured.
Nearly all had begun to stool heavily,
and the roots were large and strong.
A third batch, planted later than my,
had started up without ever having my
rain on it or artificial irrigation. The
hot weather seems to have no effect
whatever on the plant, and so far as can
be ut present determined, the new for
age plant sustains all the claims TINT
have been made in its behalf.-[Reno

CONTRADICTORY POLITICS.

Not the least of the evils of treasury
surplus immensely larger than the
needs of the government is the ever
pressing temptation to use it for pur-
poses wholly outside the scope of the
general government; and thus to widen
tho objective sphere of that government
in the direction of Capitalization the
end of which would be the absorption
of all State and locul Legislation by the
supreme federal authority.
Mr.. Blaine proposed to make the fed
eral government the collector of certain
tnxes, not only for it's own but to
large extent for the eeds of the States.
lie dared not face the theory OF free
whiskey and dear clothing which his
party has since Internationally III
dorsed. SO he proposed that the whis-
ky tax should be divided pro rata be-
tween the States. This proposition,
which woull give Mr.. Blaine's own and
the other prohibition States a portion
of the proceeds of tax to which they
contributed nothing, fell still-born even
in his own party. 1t was SO unreason-
able, irrational, and unjust that even
the most virulent high-tarif men failed
to force it upon their unwilling and
disguised constituencies.
Another Of these centralizing propo-
stions in the direction of disposing of
the embarrassing treasury surplus--as
embarrassing to the demngogue politi-
cinn rs it is to the honest econo mist and
statesman-is the proposal of United
States Senator Blair to appropriate
some hundreds of millions OF dollars for
educational purposes in certain States.
This proposal Inns from its Inception
met with the strongest and even bitter
asst possible show of opposition from
Senator Hnwley and other leading Re-
publicans. A few years ago Senator
Hawley, in opposing this debauching
proposition, said that zone of the future
missions of the Republican patty, if it is
to be true to the constitution and its
own history. is to securely preserve the
rights Of the States" and thus to with
hold our political system from the too
prevalent tendency toward O consolida-
ton of the entire powers of government
which" he continued, sis one of the
strongest to day, and one Of those most
dangerous to the Republican expert
ment as our fathers understood it,"
In face of these protests Of Senator
who was himself candidate in the
Chicago Convention, that body, if it
did not pass an out-and. out Endorsement
OF tie Blair bill, at least admitted that
the principle on which it was framed ia
good Republican doctrine, and thus that
Congress may properly interfere in
State education. At the same time, as
If to exhibit the utter contradictorines

rnle for Ireland. Thus, while in the
case of American politics they were
rushing into the vortex OF centraliza-
ton, in the case OF the Celtic article de.
Capitalization was their motto; all be-
cause We are taxing the people in order
to raise money that we do not want.
