ks~z..s. -...ss.ng Gs..ce.or.

The trials and trbulations OF the DEM
ocratic administration in connection
with the Puget Sound customs collection
district have been pathetic in the eX-
treme. When the Cleveland admins
tration came into power Capt. II. +.
Beecher was appointed collector, vice
y. w. Bash, whose term had expired.
The senate failed to confirm Beecher's
appointment, and, after he had served
brief time, his nomination was with
drawn by the President, and q, \,
Brooks was nominated and confirmed.
Major Brooks served less than half his
term when he was spended-summar-
lily "bounccd'' hy the autoCratie Grover,
and without amy apparent reason. Dep
atty Harmed, who had served faithfully
under three administrations, was desig-
mated to act as collector. In few brief
months it became necessary to run 4
bluff out in Washington Territory for
political effect and, simultaneous with
the memorable attack upon Col. Haines,
Mr.. Harmed was turned out of the Gus
tom house without the slightest cXplana-
tIon, and in the most brutal manner.
u W. Thurman, next i'll authority
among the custom house clerks, was
designated to act as collector. As he was
an efficient officer and the administration
Was uEh"luS W d ClOScS IL Was SuppOSSd
that 10 further change would be made.
But when Mr.. Thurman found that he
was expected to assume the responsible
ity and perform the duties OF collector
without receiving the collectors salary,
he promptly resigned. The President
thereupon designated Jas. McCabe, next
in order of promotion, to act as collect
or. Now, after a further brief time,
pending senate action upon the nomina-
ton of Leslie Cull0m Of Tennessee
(whom the President has sought to put
into the position), s. l. Sumption of
the first auditors office at Washington.
has been dispatched on special duty to
take charge of the customs house. For
months past the collection district-one
Of the largest and most important in the
United States-ha5 been run by the
Treasury department at the seat of gov
ernment. with merely few clerks at
this end of the line. Not since Brooks
went out OF Office has there been
anyone in charge of the customs house
here who has been under bonds. Had
there been q deialcatioD or loss the gov
ernmeDt would have had no recourse.
1t will be decided relief to the public
when the Harrison administration gets

some Necessary Directions Concerning This
Important FORK.
When other means r not at hand,
the farmer may charge his soil with
vegetable matter. by turning in q
green crop. This may either be done
by sowing d crop expressly for the
pnrpose, and turning it in when it is
sufficiently advanced, this being done
always before the formation OF the
seed, Or the farmer may make the crop
a part of the rotation system, and turn
It in after once or twice moving the
grass. Thus, when wheat and clover
seed are sown together, we may take
the wheat crop, and let the clover
and then cut it once.
Y The next spring, about the middte eli
NAV, generally, the clover crop being
turned in and rolled Down. a crop OF
notatoes. oats, corn or beats may be
taken from the land without disturb
ing the sod. which should remain un-
TIL thoroughly rotted. It is always
advantageous, however, TO spread fer
me1.ted manure on the surface where
these crops are planted, SO as to have
I something for the present crop to
draw upon without ~exhausting the
soil. In this way many comparatively
barren, sandy regions may be re-
! claimed and rendered fertile.
Vegetable matter is a powerful re-
| tainer of moisture. and its presence IN
| large quantities prevents drought.
In order to make a green crop grow
o pine barrens, the surface, after
| blowing and narrowing. ought to be
| covered with q a good top dressing OF
| ashes, say from 100 to $50 bushels to
| the acre. Seed down heavily with
clover and herdsgrass, and you will
rarely fail to obtain good crop,
(which may be turned in.
It is recommended, in turning IN a
green crop, to plow .deeply-at least
six inches. and il possible eight This
affords a new soil. and gives a good
opportunity for the cultivation OF the
rolled surface.-Andrew Il. Ward, IN
