Considering the poor shedding we
have had this winter, our energetic

tsnances upon the scholars. Our
teacher has given satisfaction to the
scholars and patrons of the School,
Mr.. M. L. Fresh has moved from
our vicinity,to make his future home
in w. Va. He was one of our most
energetic farmers. He will be missed
by our citizens. We wish him good
luck and prosperity in his new home.

lings, with the black leg.
Mr.. B. F. Keller is preparing to
build home on part Of his fathers
farm.
We have failed to get Mr.. M. L.
Mayselles back on this appointment.
His presence would have been ap-
preciated very much OH this circuit.

Mild and pleasant weather has

created. When the Senate again met
and the names of these gentlemen
sent in. they were rejected. The
judiciary committee then go on to say
that "the improperly of this I'M
warranted action of Mr.. Cleveland is
much more apparent in the case OF
political Office" Senators Wilson, of
Iowa, ingalls, and Pugh unite in an
additional comment, saying: at is
against the just philosophy and policy
of our constitutional system that
judicial offices should be filled in any
instance without the advice and con-
sent of the Senate" Senator Vest,
appends an additional comment to-
the effect that under no circum-t
stances, however extreme, could het
admit the constitutional power of the
President to act as he had, and that
there were no party divisions in this
matter, the Democratic Senators be-
ing quite as pronounced as the Re-
publicans in their disapproval of
what the President had done. The
nomination of Mr.. Lacombe was con-
firmed because technically the terms
in which it was made did not show
there were any unusual circumstances,
in the case, but the committee placed
70 hn hot
after if similar case should arise the
consent of the committee and of the
Senate to the appointment of Judge
Lacombe should not be construed a.
a precedent. In transmitting to the
President the notification of the con-
firmation it was accompanied by the
com ments and conclusion of the COM
mittee on his action.

Senate and President.

WASHINGTON, March 10. 1t will
be remembered that after the final
adjournment of the Forty-ninth Con-
gress there was considerable discus
sion as to the authority of the Presi-
dent to make during the recess
appointments to newly created offices
which he had failed to make nOmina-
tions for prior to the adjournment.
Many of the most learned constitu-
tional lawyers in Congress took the
ground that no such authority vested
in the President. Notwithstanding
their opinions the President made
the interstate commerce commission
appointments, and also appointed
Mr.. Lacombe as the additional JUS
tice for the second judicial circuit.
All of these offices had been created
at the session that had just closed,
and the President had sent no NOM
nations to the Senate to fill them. 1t
was apprehended that the Senate
would make an issue with the Presi.
dent as to his action, and intimatiOns
were frequently thrown out that the
railroads would dispute the acts OF
the interstate commerce commission,
if any were particularly Objectionable
to them. ON the ground that it was
not legal body. Notwithstanding
these anticipations. the Senate has
not seen fit to make open warfare
with the Executive on the point, but
the judiciary committee, in reporting
recently the nomination of Mr.. La
combe, took occasion to submit ano
formally place on the files of the ex'
ecutive session a statement of its
views on the Presidents course. The
committee expressly deny the con
stitutional right of the President t.
fill during recess of the Senate Off
ces created at the last preceding ses
sion, and which had never before
been filled, and assert that the only
time when any President had eve
undertaken to exercise such powe
was when President Monroe, in 1922
appointed two gentlemen to place
in the military establishment newt!

A Gigantic Railway Project.

1t has just been discovered that st.
Paul, Minneapolis and Chicago rail-
road men are engineering stupen-
dous scheme. 1t is to build railway
from the Twin Cities, via Bismarck,
British Columbia and Alaska. to
Pekin, China, and Irkouisk, in the
Russian empire. The Minneapolis
and Pacific, the Aberdeen, Bismarck
and Northwestern and the Canada
Pacific will carry the road to Vic
toria. Thence line will be built to
Cape Prince of Wales, on Behring
strait, distance of about eleven hun
dred miles. This body of water, sep
arating the American continent from
Asia, is about thirty-fiye miles wide,
and midway is dotted with islands.
The water is only twenty or twenty
five fathoms deep, and can ultimate
ly be bridged, though temporarily a
crossing will be made in boats. On
the opposite side in Asia is East
Cape, whence road will be con-
structed to Pekin, China, Yeddo, ia
pan, and other points in the Russian
and Chinese empires. A road is al
ready being constructed by the Rus.
sian government to Irkoutsk. and it
is expected that this will be extended
to form a juncture with the line from
East Cape to Pekin, about sixteen
hundred miles from the strait.
This project looks huge. tits, and
a few years ago would have been
deemed crazy idea and impossible
of execution. But scarcely a better
country for railroading could be
found, with comparatively small ex-
ceptions. Through British Column
bia a passage is easy. The weather
on the proposed line is never severe,
and travel is never impeded by snow.
There is but one port on the coast
that does not remain free of ice dur
ing the winter. and that is Westmin-
ster, which is sometimes filled with
floating cakes. Coal is plentiful and
timber inexhaustibe. In Alaska
there is bnt one section where cold
would prove a drawback, and that
is no worse than on the Canadian Pa
cific. In most of the territory tray
ersed the temperature scarcely ever
falls below zero. The extreme upper
part of Siberia is almost uninhabita-
BILE. but the road will enter that land
in about latitude 81, and the country
below that is rich in minerals, tim
Der, agricultural productions, furs,
etc.. and every mile of the road can
be made to pay.
The distance between Cape Prince
and Pekin is but a little over 1000
miles, making the whole route from
st. Paul and Minneapolis to Pekin
but 5, 1869 miles. Trains are expected
to run through in ten days. The
time to Yeddo, Japan, will be about
the same as to Pekin. - Chicago

DEER PARK, March 10, 1888.
Mr., EDITOR: - Will you please
give space in your valuable paper for
the following:
Died, March. 3rd, 1888, aged five
years, three weeks and one day, after
lingering illness of pneumonia,
Susan Elizabeth, daughter of Benja-
min and Mary Spiker, of Summers
vile, Wilson's Store,) The body
was inferred in the Wilson Burial
Ground, and the funeral sermon was
preached in the Wilson school house,
on Sunday last. 18th inst. at 3 O'Clock
P. NJ, by Rev, E. A. Paugh, of the
U. B. Church. The service was
touchingly impressive, and we trust
that lasting good may be the result.
Little Susan was scholar of the
Wilson Sunday School, bright little
girl of her years, and loved by all.
While we mourn her loss, and SYM
pathize with the bereaved parents,
nevertheless our loss is her eternal
gain. May we all so live as 10 meet
our young sister in Heaven.
Why should I my loss bemoan;
Though the darling child is dead,
She to early rest is gone;
She to Paradise is fed.

Grumbling is very easy thing to
do. 1t taxes less talent to be good
grumbler than would fit a man for
any other calling. The man best
qualified to engage in this business is
the one who does the least and sue
ceeds the worst. Whoever has his
hands ana heart full of work is no
grumbler. If you want to get the
best remedy for this malady, get
work and do it. You will get well
as quick as if you had taken bottle
of patent medicine.

Mr.. HAYDEN Il am going to
test the effect of various fertiliZiDg
materials applied to my land, but,
while | am about it, | wish to do it
in such way that it will benefit our
entire county as much as possible:
1st. By creating sufficient public
interest that others will perform like
experiments in other parts of the
county and on different soils, thus
making their value greater, both by
combination and comparison and
I'd, by provoking thought, discussion
and IN the end better methods of
farming. Onr experiments will be
as simple as possible, but must be
PRACTICAL and carefully performed to
be of any value.
| know that the discussion of these
matters in your paper will make it
more valuable in a farming county,
and that our brief reports through
| the season of the appearance of the
crops and our full report in the fall
of the weighed product of each plot,
will be discussed and e-discussed, for
| what is done by those whom we
know is always more highly appre-
ciated.
How shall ne increase our crops
a0itbOW Increasing our labor?
Ifby applying more manure, what
shall we fertilize with?
To be absolutely certain. every
farmer must experiment for himself,
but twenty farmers with different
locations, soils and aspects can settle
the thing practically for Garrett
county. Now. who will volunteer
Remember they will not be expen-
slve nor very extensive; the crops
will probably more than pay, but
you will have to do it yourself, unless
your hired man is more careful than
you are. AS to expense, | know of
one acre in twenty plots which had
altogether S13 SO worth of different
manures applied, and which yielded
S35 93 more than an adjoining acre
without fertilization. And more still,
out of those manureS, some did &C.
tual damage, while Others gave a
gain of over S65. 90 per acre more than
they cost. Now. brother farmers,
which shall Ue use? AS what is
meat to other sections may be poison
to ours, we shall have to ask our own
fields. Who will help do this for our
county? | will be one, and to save
time let every one who will help in
this good work drop me postal
card this week.
Here is a general outline of the
work. We will take our acre. ten
rods wide, sixteen long, ana divide
it into twenty plots. eight and one
fourth feet by sixteen rods, and ap-
ply the following:
No. 1.--Nothing,
