Enect of mineral. on Plant Growth.

From some recent experiments by Mr..
Henri Jumelle in ~cultivating lupines in
distilled water and in n mineral solution,
it appears that the presence of mineral
substances in the plant is accompanied
with n greater production of paren-
chyma and n formation to a less degree
of sustaining elements. Moreover, if
the plants submitted to the experiment
be dried, it is observed that, in a general
way, the stalk and leaves of the plant
provided with salts contain a larger pro-
portion of water at this period than do
these same organs in plants deprived of
salts.
Upon the whole, the absence of salts
notably modifes the structure of a plant,
but the notifications seem to be due, in
great part, less to the absence of salts
than to the diminution of the constituent
water that results therefrom.-Scientifc

1 have used the inclosed and, knowing
well its value, thought some of your
readers would be glad to know. Take
one-half cake of soap, cut into small
pieces and dissolve thoroughly in hot
water. Pour this into enough cold water
to cover the blankets, add two ounces of
borax~ (pulverized dissolves most readily
and put your blankets in to soak all
night, or longer. In the morning take
out and squeeze most of the water out,
and rinse thoroughly in cold water in
which a little borax has been dissolved.
Put them through a second rinsing water
and then the bluing water. Do not
wiring or squeeze them this time, but
hang them up to drain and dry. The
easiest way is to take them out under the
line'i in the tub in the last water. Hang
single on the line, and take a sunny day.
If the wool is very greasy use more soap
and borax, vary soap and borax to suit
quantity of water.-Cor. Good House

The San affects an infinite degree of

The LEADER. Its concern is purely and

knows as well as every citizen of the

responsible for any utterances of THE
LEADER. We have not stopped to in

only 0 few days since that the Demo
cratic and Republican territorial central
committee held a meeting for the purpose
of taking sotpe action looking to a non

gates to the constitutional convention.
Neither committee had a quorum repre-.
scented either in person or by proxy and
the two Democratic members present in
stead of arrogdting to themselves the
privilege of acting for the twcnty-one
members composing the committee simply
declined to take any formal action as they
did not feel authorized to act for the full
committee. Every Republican knew ex-
actly how both of these Democratic com
mitteemen felt on the subject of non. par.
tisanship and many had heard them
publicly assert themselves in favor OF
such a campaign.
Notwithstanding that this fact was
well known in the Sun Office the Sun
published a statement that the two mem

Democratic convention nominated Il. s.

several hours before the Republicans
took any steps in this direction.
Both members of the Democrats com

WARREN OWN DEFENSE

WARRENS OWN DEFENSE
The appended article is taken from the
New York World and possesses a great
deal of local interest:
According to charges printed recently
in a morning paper of this city, Governor
Francis T.. Warren, of Wyoming, is not a
creditable representative of President Har-
rison's administration. He is accused Of
making fraudulent presumption entries,
and of being a monopolist and altogether
a totally unfit person to be the chief exec
utive Of Wyoming. Governor Warren
was first appointed by President Arthur a
month before the %latter's term expired.
He served until 1886, when he was re-
moved by President Cleveland. Last
April Mr.. Harrison ~reappointed Mr..
Warren.
Governor. Warren passed through New
York Tuesday on his way to Washington.
Il am not concerned" he said, about
the charges circulated against me in the
East. They have all been investigated by
my political antagonists, and have been
completely indicated. As to the charge
that | have made false statements in my
application Tor presumption entries, | will
say that my application was filed at the
land Office IN Washington over three years
ago. and the patent was issued to me
last year. Gen. Sparks and his sue
cessor in the land office carefully
investigated all the charges against me
upon granting my patent. Neither found
the slightest ground for withholding it.
Mr.. S~tockslager sent a special agent, a
Democrat, out to Wyoming to specially
investigate my case, and he reported in
my favor. | was removed by President
Cleveland for criticising Commissioner
Sparks in my annual report in 1886. |
did not think Mr.. Sparks policy just to
settlers in the west, and frankly said so.
| am accused of illegally fencing in gov.
eminent land. A Judge appointed by
President Cleveland has decided in two
cases precisely similar to mine that the
fencing was not Illegal, and the Supreme
Court of Wyoming has reafirmed the de
cision in both cases. The charge that |
am a monopolist is also untrue"
Governor Warren says that the author
Of the attacks upon him was William
Ware Peck, a man without standing or
reputation among those who know him.
''Mr. Peck" said Governor Warren.

mo Fence in Georgia.

The last report of the commissioner of
agriculture for Georgia gives a list of tn Sc
counties in the state which have adopt d
the mo fence" law, and of the prac tical
operations of the law. 1t appears that at
the time of exCom missioner 10 ies' report
upon this subject, in 1882, seventy-three
C ,u1ties had adopted 'no fence," three ma
rejected it by vote, and in sixty-four no
election had been held. 1t was not to be
expec ed that in progressive state
like Georgia any Of the cou lties which had
adopted the law would repudiate it, and it
does not appear that they have, but the in
crease in mo fence" counties from 1882 to
1889 has not been as great as it should have
been. All of the cou ltiss were not in
cluded in the reports 70 Co nmissoner Hen
derson the other dav, but of those included
seventy-tive had adopted the mo fencen
law, four had rejected it, and in fifty no
election had been held.
In North Georgia there are thirteea co-4I-
ties in which the mo fence" law is in oper-
alton, three in which it has been rejected,
and twelve in which no election has boon
held. In Southwest Georgia fourteen coun-
ties have ad Ipted mo felc e,n and seventeen
have manifested their indiff renee or oppo-
siticn, as the case may be, BY not holding
a / election. In East Georgia seven coun.
ties have adopted mo fence" aud seven
have held no election. The mo fence law
is not in operation in any of the coun-
ties of Southeast Georgia, but forty
one counties in Middle Georgia reported
to Commissioner Henderson its adoption,
and none reported its rejection or the fail
ure to hold an election. 1t is worthy of
note that the farmers of Middle Gs ,rgia are
prosperous. Probably they are more pros
porous than those of any other part of the
state, and they attribute much of their
prosperity to the operations of the "no

THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER II. 1889.
An Extra Session Not Probable.

There does not seem to be any reason for
further speculation about an extra session
of congress. 1t appears to have been set
tied at the last cabin { conference that there
would be no NEE ing OF C Bgress until the
regular session in December. There is
pretty strong impression that the republic
ans are afraid of an extra session. They
might not find themselves in a position to
organize the House. They have majority
of only one, and if any of their number
should be absent they would be in a very
unfertunate position.
They expect that several republican mem
bers will be elected in the four new states,
and with their help they hope to be able to
turn out of their seats quite number Of
democrats.
1t is suspected that Mr.. Blaine has had a
good deal do with the deci ion of the Presi-
dent not to call an extra Sc sion. He doesn't
like Reed Of Maine, who is the leading can
dictate for Speaker. Mr.. Mckinley, who is
also very strong candidate THINKS that be
would have a much better chance if the
choice for Speaker were not made yet
awhile. He is engaged in campaign work
in Ohio, and at the sa me time is making
friends who will aid him when the speaker
ship oltest fairly begins.
If these reasons for not calling an extra
session are correct, it is apparent that the
public interests were not Considered The
decision was based wholly upon partisan
considerations. The success of the republi-
can party is deemed by the administration
to be Of more Importance than anything
else.
There are a good many republicans wait
ing for the offices which the House has in
its gift They are anxious for a Chance to
occupy them and to begin to draw the
salaries attached to them as soon as posi-
bic. The decision against an ex ra session
therefore. makes some republicans IN
happy.
