NEW suggestion in reference to
electoral reform WAS recently advanced
by David Dudley Field In an address
before the Massachusetts Reform C!rb.
He thinks that most of the evils OF our
electoral system begin at the pri-
maries. Thy are in the hands Of The
machine, and that is ALI fundamentally
worked by corrupliolists fer bal and
wicked purposes. The politicians de-
vote their whole time TO the accom-
plishing of thosc purposes, aud by
that meal- outwit people who have 10
earn an honest living. He would
begin at the very base of the electoral
system, and do away with the pri-
maries as at present conducted. He
suggests hat in their place the voter,
when he registers, should &c required
10 name his candidate Tickets should
then be made up OF the two candidates
for each Office that had received the
highest number of preliminary votes.
He would make the registering Of
voters an raming Of candidates com
pulsory. These recommendations Ger
tanly deserve serious consideration.
IL is such matters as these that the
students in our colleges and our young
men generally should be taught to
consider. They AREA part of practical
politics, and of much more Importance
than Sports, social clubs and pure
department OF the local government.
from the public pound 10 the highest
court, is under the control of boss
and rendered amenable TO corrupt in
fuences, it is time for patriotic young
Americans to give heed to the honor
and the welfare of their country, or
the time must come when the very
name of the great republic will be u
by-word and reproach throughout
civilization. Eternal vigilance is the
price of liberty. When almost every
act that an official can perform may be
Influenced by coin, il is very certain
that all are not equal before the law.
The man who hes not the coin is mani
testify at disadvantage.

Planting I'm the Eroon

The 81. Louis Republic has the fol-
lowing on the subject Of planting in
the moon,"a it is termed:
Some farmers do nearly or quite all
Of their seeding or planting by The
signs and stages of the moon. Ii would
be difficult TO give all the traditions on
the subject, as they difier III some re-
spects according as they have been
handed dow1. Generally root crops
are planted when the zodiac sign is in
the lower parts OF the body-lhe knees
or the feet. Corn, beans and this class
of crops are planted or sown when the
sign is about the breast or bowels,
wheat or oats aud crops of gram ripen-
ing with head on top, when the sign
is in the head or neck.
The light and dark of the moon are
looked after good deal. IL the sign
is in the feet and 1t is the dark of the
moon il is considered the very best
time for planting potatoes or other
root crops, while the light of the moon
is considered best for wheat or oats
Just how far the moon affects the
different crops has never been de-
termined, but il would be difficult to
convince farmer who has always
planted by the signs of the moon that
the different crops are not largely al
fected by that luminary. But they
grew and matare under all the changes
OF the moon; why, then, must the plant.
ing be done only under special con-
ditious, and yet the crops grow aud
mature under different stages aud
signs. 1t would seem that if the in
huenoe OF the moon is strong enough
to affect the crop all through from tho
planting of the seed, it should also in
fluence HE growth and yield during
the different stages.
Would it not be a good plan to make
careful experiment, preparing the
soil in a good filth and planting par,
of the crop when the sign WAS most
favorab bic and the other when the con.
ditions or signs are considered least
favorahley Give as nearly the same
cultivation ss possible, using the same
kind al seed and carefully note the
result. One or two experiments If
this kind wanld be much more con-
vincns than years OF ira ditiou.

The Sale of the Cincinnati Club Still Ca1s.
 ing Considerable Talk.

"S OOnShuOE0UA0 AHAAs
 NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-The transfer of the Cincinnati baseball club, its fran chise, players and grounds to the man. agers of the. Players League Is still the all-absorbing talk in baseball circles. iS One prominent msgrste said this morning that this move on the part of the Players was proof suficie ient that they were here to stay and that the National League people must stir them selves or get out of the way. Another interested and knowing man said that the deals had just begun and that within @ few weeks all trouble would be patched up and next season would again witness: old-fashion and har- monious baseball.
 On Thursday next the National League and as many of the Association directors as accept tho invitation sent ference at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. No conference of baseball men was ever held that has been anticipated with as much interest as the approaching one. The present situation will be discussed and it is reasonable to say that plans for the redemption of the game will be adopted. In connection with this sub ject the question of waiving all claims to the players taken from the League ana ASbOc1AtlOn Dy the new rlVA1 WILL be considered.
 The outcome of this meeting will probably be the appointment of oom- mittee to consult with representatives of the Players League. A compromise will then be easy enough to effect if both organizations will oonoede little. The League people say they see no possibility of a compromise until the Players consent to withdraw their teams from the cities occupied originally by them and to give in to other demands of 8 like nature. Such proposition is not expected to meet with success. In fact, it is claimed that 8 programme is'already arranged with the possibility of reasonable understanding being reached by the fighting factions.
 The nature of the oompromise is only a conjecture, but the impression is now gaining ground that the League and Association will have the field next sea- son and the clubs of the Players organ ization divided between them. In this way two strong bodies will be formed and all differences settled. Some such scheme as this has been under consid- eration ever since the sale of the Gin cinnatis was first spoken of. That town has been trained to support cheap base ball and will not likely come up to the expectation of the League or Brother hood.

A Letter of POstnnaster-General Wana-
 maker on the Subject.
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-PostmAstOr-Ge Gen. eral Wanamaker has just made public a letter recently addressed to Repre- sentative Bingham, chairman of the House Committee on Postofices, em- bodying an elaborate argument in favor of his limited plan of postal tsle- graphy. He said in part:
 'I am more than ever convinced of the wisdom and prActicAbility of re- storing the telegraph to the postal service and make it wha: it was origin ally intended to be, part of tho postal system. say this after closely study. ing the arguments against the bill made so vigorously by the great tsle- graph company which is now its only visible opponent. I do not believe iC possible to argue this question down. There is a deep and far reaching con- viction among the people that the telegraph service is by right . part of tho postal service. To cary the postal system from pony riders to stage-ooAoh and on to railroad service, and stop all owners of telegraph stock oppose, is not in accord with the genius of our people or the spirit of the times"
 As to the constitutionality of postal telegraphy, the PostmAster-Genera says: "It has been argued by learned lawyers for a score of years that e Government telegraph is unoonstitu- tionAl. The motives of these gentle men have been one of two in all cases. They have been the paid attorneys of those corporations whose special in- terssts have demanded that their mon- opolies should in no way be intsrfsred with. They have known their busi- nesa and done it we'll"
 He then follows with an elaborate explanation of the limited plan, and of it's operation; arguing that it would pay the telegraph companies and be more efficient as we'll as lower priced.

President V. H. Ketcham, of the To ledo Ball Club, is Q valuable man to the baseball fraternity. He is shrewd business man, and while he has lost some money in his venture this year, he has signified his willingness to spend more, his sole object being to give To ledo a winning ball club.
 Mistakes made in conducting the affairs of the Western Association dur ing the summer will prove to be val uable object lessons for next year."- Lincoln Journal. This applies with even greater force to the National League and American Association; but these two "Bourbons" of baseball never forget and never learn.
 Mutrie is in the seventh heaven over the recent winning streak of the New Works. He now thinks that his team is as good as any in the country and at tributes its poor standing to hard luck. He says he is signing contracts with the present players for next season, and thinks that he will have pennant- winning club in 1891.
