The Prosecuting Attorney Explains.

Today in the Police Court Prosecuting Attor-
ney Mullowney called Judge Miller's attention
to statement in q morning paper which he
was reported to have made in the case
Of Mrs. Rowland yesterday relative
to the amount of bail. In the
article referred to Mr.. Mullowney said the i'm
preston was given that in the matter of bail
the court discriminates against the poor and
ignorant in favor Of the wealthy and learned.
He disclaimed any intention Of conveying such
an idea.
Judge Miller said that he was surprised when
he read the article, a. he knew no such state
ment was made. In the matter Of fixing bail,
the judge said, the records will show that the
bail In such cases has been uniform, with
chances in favor Of the poor and ignorant and
not against them

WHY FLOWS, HOES AND SPADES SHOILD
ALWAYS BE KEPT SHARP.

The tests which have been made in
determining the amount of force re-
quired in moving a pillow through the
soil, have pointed out the importance
Of a sharp cutting edge for separating
the adhering portions. The expert
ments made many years ago in En-
gland gave about thirty-ive per cent
OF the whole required draft expended
III overcoming friction, ten per cent in
lifting and turning the sod, while fifty
live per cent " over one-lIalf was used
for cutting the furrow-slice. This
amount would, of course, vary with
the character of the soil. If hard, dry
and clayey, nearly three-fourths Of the
draft would be required for cutting the
slice while in soils which have been
previously %pulverized by blowing and
narrowing, it would be much less than
one-half. But the average, taking all
soils together, the cutting force will
be rather mOr than overcoming all
the friction of the mold board, sides
and bottom, and for lifting and turn
ilg the furrOw-slice.
This fact shows the Importance Of
Of keeping all tools sharp which are
used for cutting the soil. A dull hoe
or a dull rusty spade will waste
about 'two-thirds Of the strencth of
the laborer who uses them, compared
with tools with sharp and bright
blades. The gardener, whose daily
work in the use of the spade amounts
to lifting a hundred pounds of compact
soil in a minute, or six thousand or
three tons an hour Thirty tons a day),
it he has a bright and sharp spade,
will perhaps move only fifteen tons,
possibly less, with a dull rusty tool.
The other fifteen tons which might
have turned Over with a perfect spade
will yet be used in making himself
needlessly fatigued and discouraged.
Work which is easily and neatly per
formed is more cheerfully and salts
factorily accomplished, and is not at
tended with that peculiar dishearten-
ing fatigue which attends feeble ac-
complishment.
Every farmer and gardener should
therefore supply himself with the best
tools, kept bright and sharp and in
perfect order. Hoes sheuli be often
si'arpened on the grindstone, spades
should never be laid aside with earth
adhering to their blades to produce
rust the same care should be given to
plows and to the teeth of cultivators
and bladed harrows. The season is
approaching when all these tools are
brought into use, and when labor
may become more efficient by the
selection and use good we'll sharpened

THE DAILY
AFFAIRS AT SAMOA.

The account of recent events at
Samoa, which appeared in Saturdays
Bulletin, is so evidently partisan and
one sided that its statements require
to be taken with a great deal of al
lowance. The course which the Ger
man authorities have pursued has
been such as could only be made to
assume the semblance of fairness by
distortion of facts and special plead
ing. One of the most noticeable
features of the letter in question is
the constant reiteration of the words
"rebel" and "rebels." Nothing in
this whole Samoan business is
palmer than that the puppet set up
by the Germans is, with all his fol-
lowers, in open rebellion against the
lawful Chief of Samoa, as we'll as
against the sentiments and wishes of
the great majority of the natives.
The truth of the statements charg-
ing Mr.. Klein, the representative of
the American Press Association with
taking a leading part in the fighting
reported in the advices received by
the Alameda is, to say the least, open
to very serious question. The re-
sponsible mission with which Mr..
Klein has been entrusted affords
strong presumptive evidence of his
being a gentleman of honor and dis
erection. Furthermore neither the
Apia nor the Colonial papers, which
have their correspondents on the
spot, make any reference, so far as
we have been able to discover, to his
taking any part in the struggle.
Also the report brought by II. B. NJ.
S. Lizard, which was at Apia at the
same time, as published in the Auck-
land Herald, does not refer to Mr..
Klein as being participant.
1t is, however, very probable that
Mr.. h, as the representative of sew
eral leading newspapers in the
United States, was present, in his of
fetal capacity, to observe what was
going on, and may have witnessed
all the fighting which occurred
there. This would naturally be ex-
pected of him, as a press representa-
tive, as was the case with newspaper
correspondents in the Turco- Russian
and in the German and French wars.
They were allowed to be in the camp
and tents of the commanding officers
on each side. Their presence there
was not to lake part, but to observe
and record the actual facts as they
took place. An American war CORE
spondent engaged in his legitimate
vocation, would not be likely to be
any farther in the rear than he was
compelled to be when fighting was
going on.

Gently called on Harrison at Indian

told by General Harrison that he
would not appoint Plat to the posi-
ton of Secretary Of the Treasury.
He told Mr. Morton candidly that
the Secretaryship of the Treasury
had already been given to Senator
Allison, and that the reason for
selecting a Western man was the
opposition in many Eastern cities to
any New York man on account of
the discrimination he would likely
make in favor of the merchants of
New York City.
