Of creating lower Court, TO have final
jurisdiction over certain grades Of cases in
order TO relieve the present Supreme
Bench, was very ably discussed. There
are over fifteen hundred cases on the
docket, which will require at least four
years to dispose of; therefore it will be
seen that if case is filed now II will be
about four years before it can be heard in
its regular order-it matters not how i'm

Prohibition Closes the Gateways TO Per-
dition and Drives Rum Traffic TO Holes
and Corners.
We note, since the failure OF several
States to adopt constitutional prohibit
ton last year. and in view of the efforts
of the Rum Power in Kansas and Iowa
10 secure a resubmission Of the question
t1 the people. that the old parrot cry,
Prohibition does not prohibit" Is
voiced with more frequency and presist-
ence than before. There Is good deal
of demagogy in this assertion, The as
sumption Is made by those who utter 1t.
that the law is utterly worthless MS a
preventive measure, because II does not
stop the sale Of liquor utterly and en-
iirely, at once. This test is too severe
one, either for law prohibiting liquor
selling, or gambling, or theft, or bur-
glary, or any other. crime. No one claims
that the laws against the other acts emu.
merated are useless because gam bling is
still carried on. because thefts and burgla-
rles constantly occur. Why not raise the
same cry against these laws? Taking
the whole Of any prohibition State, the
law against liquor-selling Is as well
observed and enforced as are the laws
against the other crimes.
There is one fact which shows that
prohibition hurts; Il is that the liquor
men are reauy to spend money in exorbii-
ant sums 10 defeat IT, This disposes of
the assertion that rum may be obtained
in the prohibition States as freeIv as be-
fore the passage Of the law. Tie quantity
of rum cosumed is greatly lessened
though the traffic therein Is not checked
entirely.

Ex-SPEAKER CARLISLE has issued an
address to the people on the rulings made
by Speaker Reed. For some reason IL is
published in but very few papers except
in the South Mr.. Carlisle claims that the
Speaker violated long established prece-
dents in ruling that member present and
not voting could be counted as being pres
ent in order to form quorum. We know
that this has been the custom for many
years not to count member present when
he refuses to vote; but we will ask in all
candor, Is II not time such precedents

buried at the ends of the plots and con-
nected by their upper faces, the effect
being to establish current through the
earth. The result was manifested by
large crop and by the growth of vegetcs>
bles of enormous dimensions. In third
series electrical collectors were mounted
on insulated rods and connected by wires,
the effect being to obtain highly electri-
fed atmosphere. Seeds of rye, corn, oats,
barley, peas, clover, potatoes and flax
were used. This form of electroculture
increased the yield of seed an average of
One-half, and that of straw One-third,
while the ripening was more rapid. 1t
was also found that potatoes grown by
electroculture were rarely diseased, and
as the beneficial effects of electricity on
vines attacked by phyloxera have al
ready been observed it is possible that a
new means is at hand of combating the
microscopic pests which attack vegeta-

Electricity in Agriculture.

The application of electricity to agri-
culture has long been discussed. There
have long stood in the way the uncer-
tainty how to apply it and the difficulty
of ascertaining what the exact effect Of
electricity on plants was. Many investi-
gators have reported greatly increased
yield. Mr. n Specnew described the la
test experiments in practical electricity.
In one series he used seeds of haricot
beans, sunfowers and winter and spring
rye. The seeds were soaked electrified
and Immediately sown. The plants were
more developed, their leaves were larger
and their color brighter than those grown
from Electrified seed, but the yield
was not affected. In another series of ex-
periments plates OF copper and Zinc about
two feet by two feet and six inches were
