Mr. EdInund- on Limiting Debate in
the SENATE.
The following correspondence published
in recent number Of tile Burlington Free
Press sufficiently explains itself:
nos. DANIEL ROBERTS To MIR. EpMUNns.
Dcdr M EdmlH,iS 1t appears tn Us up
here among the hills, that essential meas
ures Of public policy should not be allowed
in the Senate to he defeated by IA minority
through concerted schemes Of obstruction
and tllbustering 10 the end of denying to
the ma lOritv the chance Of final vote upon
the merits, and this under the pretense of
freedom of debate or any other preteuse
and that, if the senate lacks rules To pro
tect itself from the usurpation Of the mi
nority, it should make rules for the occasion.
and so too, viewed rs party question, that
the pledges aud open policy of the Repub
llcan party being in power, should be car
red out resulutely and with due expedition,
and this all the more by reason Of threatened
resistance. The party must exhibit the
courage of its convictions, or it must he set
down as lacking either courage or sincerity.
and so, unfit TO govern the country.
As one Of your friends and constituents
give you these impressions from your Yer
mont home, relying upon your indulgence
though | may seem to he overwse or over
anxious Very truly yours,
DANIEL ROBERTS
Hon. Geo. f, Edpunds, Senator
MIR. EDMCND'S REPLY.
SENATE CHAMBER,
WAsHINGToN, July Is, 1890 i
Dear Mr.. Roberts Il have yours without
date, mailed the 23 inst. | agree fully with
all your general statements, that whenever
the conduct of minority in the Senate be
comes obstructive on any particular meas
ure, the senate ought to take immediate
means to repress such obstruction and 10
act upon the measure. This think is tue
law now. Others do not, but think it re-
quires a change of the rdles-which am
willing to make as applied TO a particular
case when it shall arise, rather than gen
eral provision for terminating debate on
anything when a majority pleases
last, believe, would be a very great evil
10 the public interest In haste,

A WONDERFUL PEOPLE.

Piled: ayes, sab. They can get long
with less money, and have more loafing
time than any people know of. They
are heap better off than white folks.
They don't have anything to worry
them. You know, boss, colored peo-
pie get their eating for almost nothing,
aud ii they don't drink whisky little
money goes long way with them. II
a colored man has friends around town
he can always get good dinner a
regular white mans dinner, for moth

cooks giving a colored man dinner oc-
casionally, and if ho has few acquain-
tances who cook he gets along very
well in the eating line. OF course.
some colored men have to keep house,
but that don't always prevent them
from going around and don't make

or does other things to help along.
And, boss, you know colofed men get

Nut-BearIng Trees.


In late communication TO the
National Stockman, correspondent
says:
81 know a large farm from which oil
the timber was cut many years ago.
The owner planted the roadsides
thickly in black walnuts, and In six
years began to have fence posts by
thinning out the thriftiest trees, His
farm is now entirely fenced with board
and wire, and the posts all came from
this planting, and he is not very old
man yet. But this is not all; The tim
Der has outgrown his demands for IL,
and he is glad to spare some for his
neighbors. The farm is situated at a
four-corncrs and this gave him plenty
of road room for the trees. lie planted
few locust trees for posts, but would
not advise others to do 1t because
borers are so destructive to them.
They do not molest the other kinds.
He did not plant with the view Of
growing fence posts, but for the shade,
nuts, and to make his farm look nice.
When posts were needed n moments
thought pointed TO these trees, and the
post question was forever settled with
him. lie had "bulded better than he
knew"
Some of the nut trees, particularly
the hickory, or any of them with a
taproot, are considered difficult to
make live after transplantIng. They
can be transplanted with as much
success as fruit trees if care is observed
when taking them up not to mutilato
any of the large roots, aud especially
the tap root. A two-inch hickory
generally has taproot as much as two
feet long. This and the other large
roots should be taken out entire and
reset in the ground as deeply. This
done they will be safe. IL has been
heretofore that each root gives nutri-
ment to certain part of the tree, and
that the taproot supplies the centre or
core, and that If this root be eliminated
in transpIantiug sooner or later, If the
tree lives, II will decay at the heart.
This is the main cause of so many hol-
low apple trees when they become old.
"Catch" apple trees by the roadside or
in the fields do not become hollow
once in hundred times, or until very
old age has sapped their vitality.
Trees transplanted in the fall should be
staked in place, and all young trees be
protected from damage by stock.
Trees would be apt to do better to be
produced from nuts on the spot where
It is desired they should grow, but this
would involve more trouble and defer
their growth two or three years.

TIE NATIONAL FAKHERs ALLIANCE.

The annual meeting Of the American
fsrmers at Oeais, Florils, attracted
much more notice than usual Twenty
six States were represented. The fol-
los Ing resolutions adopted were given
much prominence BY the press:
Whereas, The President Of the Uni
ted States, in his annual message TO
Congress, recommends and urges the
Immediate passage Of the measure
known as the Lodge Election bill aud,
Whereas. Said bill involves radical
revolution in the election machinery
of the Union, both State and National,
and its passage will be fatal to the
autonomy OF the States and cherished
liberties of the citizens; and,
Whereas, Said bill Is partisan in
spirit aud vii! be partisan in its appli-
cation, thus reyitalizing the CORY ghost
of sectional estrangement; and
Whereas, In the holy war which we
have declared against sectionalism, the
tiresides of the farmers OF the North,
East, South and West are the eitadels
around which the heaviest battles are
being fought; and to the end that VIC
tory may crown our crusade, and fra
ternity and unity reign; therefore,
be 1t
Resolved, by the National Farmers
Alliance and Industrial Union of
America in national council assembled,
That we do most solemuly protest
against the passage of said Lodge cleo
ton bill, and most earnestly petition
our Senators to employ all fair and
legal means to defeat this unpatriotic
measure, which can result in nothing
but evil to our common aud beloved
country.
Resolved, further. That a copy of
these preamble and resolutions be for
warded to each Senator in Congress-
The force of these resolutions ID
msrred, If not lost, by the prominence
of the fact that they were introduced
by "delegate McAllister from Missis-
slppi" Indeed 1t was argued by
Northern delegates that the resolu-
tions were irrelevant, out of the proper
duties of tho Alliance and untimely-
that they would be used effectively
against tho order in extreme radical
districts as proving its identity with
Southern Democracy. But they were
hurrahed through.
AT the close of the session recon-
mendation was moved which failed to
carry. But the practically sectional
nature Of the vote quite deprived the
resolutions Of any real value.

INGALLS' LAST CHANCE.

A complication has arisen in con-
naction with tho election Of United
States Senator to succeed Senator ln-
gals and II the plan Of action propos-
ed by the Republicans is successfully
carried out it would seem that the
Senator may succeed himself. An ap-
plication has been made TO the
Supreme Court to compel the State
Board OF Csnyassors to give oertifi-
Gates Of election to nineteen delegates
who were elected under the provision
Of tho Constitution which says that
each county which has 250 voters is
entitled to a Representative.
The Constitution at tho same time
limits the number of members to 12b
30 that in order to seat the nineteen
delegates from the sparsely settled
counties II would be necessary to drop
an equal number Of members elect
from the moro populous counties. II
the court issues the mandamus and
the nineteen delegates are seated they
will vote for Ingalls,, as they are SO
pledged, which would give him eighty
three votes on joint ballot, the number
to elect If they are not seated aud
Senator Ingalls, is defeated, the plan
Of the Republicans is to contest the
election of his successful opponent In
tho United States Senate on the ground
that the delegates were entitled to theii
seats and their votes would have
elected him.
II they arc seated aud all equal mum
Of the members-eleot are not dropped
the House will number l4S members
or eighteen more than the Constitution
provides for, and contest will be In
stituted In the Senate because th'
Legislature will be an unconstitutions
body.
The foregoing is from the news dis
patches of two weeks since. The fol
lowing is its liuale:
