crops suffer for want of water. Alfalfa wants water, too, but not finding it on the surface, it goes down for it. It punches right away, shades the ground, absorbs all the moisture afoat, and con- tinues to grow. Dry weather, per haps, checks its growth little, but not much, and nothing kills it. It comes up smiling every day. It's a revelation and revo- lution. It will be ready to cut three times during the season. It is liked by all animals better than any other hay.-Ex.

New Facts in Pocket Mining.

- ".
 The auriferous deposits of Cal ifornia are more varied in their form of occurrence probably than in any other country, conditions that have led to the employment of equally diversified methods and appliances in searching after, ex- plotting and working them. It would naturally occur to most minds that after an experience of so many years the California gold miner would by this tune have found out all there is to be learned in regard to the occurrence of this class of deposits as we'll as the rules to be observed in hunting after and developing them. While it must be admitted that our min CTS have become very expert both in this and every other branch of their calling, it is still the case that something new is all the while being brought to light in this department of the business.
 As an instance in point the Sonora Democrat, Tuolumne county, describes certain new feat ures that have been developed in the Bonanza Pocket mlne being worked near that town. Formerly it was thought that this class of deposits did not carry free gold below the line of permanent water, where it was supposed the metal invariably took on the sulphureted form. The theory was also held that when the dike changed from plastic to a hard and gritty tock, requiring blasting. it lost it's gold bearing character entirely. But recent developments in the above mine tend to lnvalidate if not wholly disprove both these theo- ries. The auriferous lode or dike here has been opened up to a depth of 35 feet below the bed of Woods creek, permanent stream, and consequently below the level of permanent water; and yet the gold continues as free as it was above. Then, too, the lode for nation has changed color and be- come so hard that it has to be broken out with powder, yet its productiveness has not been diminished in tue least. The position of the rich pockets ill this mine are marked by other peculi- arities at variance with the notions formerly entertained In regard to the occurrence of this class of de- posits.
 In view of the above facts, it may be that our pocket miners have sometimes and perhaps very often suspended operations too soon, having been misled by hasti- ly formed theories in regard to the changed condition of the gold containing rock and the metal becoming sulphureted below the line of permanent water. As the business of prospecting for and extracting these pockets" which | consist of isolated punches of | rich ore, IS still practiced in many | parts of California, being quite active in Tuolumne county, the foregoing facts may be worthy the attention of those engaged in this branch of mining.

THE TARIFF DtSCUSsION

The tariff debate in congress is ended,
thank fortune. 1t has been a long
drawn-out discussion, and the public
have waited somewhat impatiently for
its termination. There was q general
feeling that both congress and the coun-
try knew what was wanted in the way
of tariff legislation and that the con-
gressional tariff debate was only pro-
ductive of unnecessary delay. Not
withstanding this general impatience
on the part of the people and notwith-
standing there was in some particular
instances a useless waste of wind in
congressional halls, still the tariff
debate has been productive of good
results. The discussion has taken a
more practical turn than such discus
sions usually take. With but few ex-
captions. those who have participated
i'll the discussion were capable of hand
ling the subject. They have approached
the tariff question with an apparent con-
seriousness of its Importance to the
country, and have discussed it in the
light of principle. 1t is doubtful
whether the speeches made on any one
subject in congress have ever been
more widely read than the tariff speeches
in this congress. Thus the tariff debate
has been valuable in its educating eff
fects. The mass of the people have
more information on the subject
than ever before. A great many
hard points have been explained
away, the rough places made smooth,
and the whole subject is in more COM
prehensible state than it has ever been.
And the result of it all is the tariff re-
formers have been strengthened in
their position. The fallacjcs of protec-
ton have been exposed, and the neces-
sity for taxation appears in clearer
light than heretofore. Commencing
with President CEvELAND's message
as the beginning of the discussion, and
following the debate ON down to
Speaker CARLIsLE's closing speech
last night, the country is furnished
with complete cyclopedia of tariff

STREET. SPRINKLING.

There has been so much delay al
ready in the matter of sprinkling the
streets, owing to the litigation over the
subject, it is hardly possible that the
council will create still further delay by
postponing action on the contract re-
Gently awarded by the board of public
works. Some fears have been eX-
pressed that the outgoing council
would hesitate to act in the matter,
preferring to leave this, along with
other unfinished business, for the in
coming council to deal with. While we
have cause to complain of the weather
III many respects, we have reason
to be profoundly grateful that it has
favored us in this particular If the
spring had been an usual one of warm,
dry weather, what suffering we would
have endured Oh account of the dusty
streets. With the exception of few
days, and long intervals between them,
we have had no dust. But it is reason
able to suppose that we have about
reached the end of the wet spell, and
that there is some dry weather just
ahead of us. And then the dust will
rise in clouds unless provision has been
made for sprinkling the streets. 1t is
useless to repeat the arguments that
have heretofore been urged in behalf of
street sprinkling, Leaving out of ques-
ton the comfort and convenience de-
rived from it, there is a sanitary side to
the subject, which makes it imperative
that the streets shall be sprinkled. The
good health of the city requires it, and
the sooner it is commenced the better.

A PRECEDENT.

They have electric light companies in
Detroit, and in consequence the streets
of that beautiful city have been taken
possession of by the companies wires.
The citizens protested against their un
slightly appearance. They pointed out
the danger that lurked in them. The
fire department confirmed their protest
ing, and added more of its own. FL
nally, the board of public works were
stirred up to something like compre-
hension of the popular feeling. They
strongly advised the companies to put
their dangerous wires underground.
The companies, with the usual inso-
lence of corporations, fatty refused.
There the matter rested. The people
might storm all they pleased. 1t did
themno good. But the other day the
companies treated them to surprise.
They announced their determination to
put their wires underground. They
had investigated the question and had
found the conduit system entirely prac-
ticable. That has been Detroit's eX-
perience. Except in the last and essen
tial part it has been St. PauPs expert
ence also.
We, too, suffer inconvenience and
danger from the overhead wires. We,
too, have protested without avail. The
telegraph and electric light companies
evidently own the streets, and can do
as they please with them. There are
no indications, however, that the anal
ogy between Detroit and st. Paul is to
be carried further. There is no hope
whatever that the companies will vol
UNFAIRLY put their wires underground.
But precedent has been established.
1t has been shown that no unjust or
overwhelming burden is imposed upon
the companies in ordering them to adopt
the subway system. 1t uis not too late
for st. Paul to move in this matter, but
every days delay makes itmore difficult.

WHISPERS.

A young man who was formerly in
the employ of Millionaire ARMoUR's
great establishment was telling the
Whisperer the other day something
about the way in which the man of
many millions fixes the compensation
of his agents, Of whom there are hun
dreds distributed throughout the coun-
try. Take the st. Paul Office for exam
pie. The manager does not know from
one year to another what his salary will
be. The home Office estimates that it
will cost him certain sum for his liv-
ing expenses, and he is authorized to
draw that sum out of the Office in
monthly installments. AT the close of
the year his accounts are examined and
he is advised that a certain sum
remains to his credit on the
books of the main house subject otto his
order. He is also informed that he may
draw such sum-it may be greater or
less than the previous-for his living eX-
penses for the next year. Thus it runs,
a mans compensation depending upon
the success with which he manages his
agency. One good feature of the plan
is that he is always sure of being some
thing ahead at the end of the year.
How do you like the plan?

SOLID FOR PROTECTION,
The Pioneer Press Taken to Task
for disappearing Republic


for disappearing Republic
cans.
Mankato Free Press.
The Pioneer Press says the platform
adopted by the Republican convention
Wednesday does not satisfactorily ex-
press the feelings of Minnesota Repub-
Gcans on the subject of the tariff. The
trouble with the Pioneer Press is that
it has the very mistaken idea that its
preferences in regard to the tariff are
those of the Republicans of the state.
1t is not to be supposed that the con-
ventlon would have unanimously adopt
ed a platform which was not salts
factory to the members thereof, and if
it does not suit the Pioneer Press, that
fact is a pretty good proof that
that paper does not, as it claims,
represent the sentiments of the Re-
publican voters of the state. The p.
p. may try to squirm around it as much
as it pleaSes, but the point remains that
it is hostility to the principle of protec-
ton which animateS the opposition to
the Republican party's position on the
tariff question. That party persists and
Will continue to persist in putting the
protection of American industries be-
fore others of less Importance to the III
terestS of the United States, and the
Pioneer Press, not believing in this sort
OF thing. is bound not to be suited with
Republican platforms. If the conven-
ton had declared for tariff for revenue
only, or added that Democratic phrase
which means nothing, incidental pro-
tection," our friends of the Pioneer
Press would be found loudly commend
ing the good (?) sense of the party. 1t
announces that the state convention, to
be held later in the season, must speak
palmer on this subject, and it is quite
likely it will. though it will only be to
emphasize the Republican doctrine of
protection.

Doubtless some of you would like to
know something of WIZARDS career.
He was born in Speye on the Rhine in
1885. His name was then HEINRICH
HILLEGARD. When seventeen years
old he came to this country. He lived
for short time in New York, Chicago
and st. Louis, but finally settled in
Belleville, Ill. For four years he stud
led law and the English language. Then
he took to newspaper work. He worked
for while on papers in Illinois, and
was afterwards employed on the Gin
cinnati Commercial. He was well ac-
Quainted with LINCOLN. and, as a news
paper man, accompanied him in his
campaign of 1860. When the war broke
out he became a war correspond
ent, and at its close he married
in 1866 a daughter of WILLIAM LLOYD
GARRISON. When the Austro-Prussian
war broke out the New York Times sent
him over to represent it. While on the
other side he met number of wealthy
Germans who were interested in Ameri-
can railway securities. These men took
a liking to him and sent him back i'll
their interests. With his subsequent
career you are, of course, familiar.

ATHLETICS IN SCHOOLS.

There has lately been exhibited in
various schools and colleges in the East
a disposition to eliminate almost entirely
the athletic features for which those
various institutions have been noted.
This disposition arises, of course, from
the pre-eminence which athletics have
gained in the schools, to the detriment,
as the authorities think, of the educa-
tional training. But it is by no means
certain that this point is we'll taken.
1t is admitted that devotion to sports
of various kinds and engaging in ath-
letic contests do take up good deal of
the Students time, but the scholastic au-
thorities have not made it clear that in
consequence mental training has been
suboIdinated to an injurious extent.
Tho ugit is not so we'll recognized, the
same necessity exists for the recupera-
ton which comes through physical eX-
ercise as that which comes through
sleep. Yet he would indeed be a bold
professor who would advocate the de-
crease of the number of hours devoted
to slumber. Besides, it has been dem
onstrated time and again that in fire.
Quent cases pre-eminence in scholarship
and supremacy in athletics go hand in
hand.
SO often, in fact, has this been the
case that it is almost automatic to de-
clare that, other things being equal, the
athlete will excel the bookworm who
disdains all forms of outdoor life, in
class standing and general scholarship.
But. even admitting that athletics had
acquired an unwlse and disproportionate
Importance in school and college life,
there is fair ground for argument that in
going so far toward the other extreme
the authorities have instituted even a
worse state of things. In youth regular
and even violent exercise is essential to
the preservation of health when the
mind is at the same time severely taxed.
In rendering more difficult that eX-
ercise the different schools and colleges
which have adopted the repressive
policy are more apt to lower than to
elevate the standard of scholarship.
The solution of the question lies in the
adoption of the golden mean whereby
the exercise of brain and muscle, pro-
portionately adjusted. will be perfectly
harmonized.
