The Aroostook people although many
miles from railroads and with no very good
prospect of having them any nearer for some
tins at least are not cast down. The Star
Herald contrasts the steady fertility of the
Aroostook region where immense barns are
filed every year. with the great western
plains where houses, barns. and eVerylnins
else are filed to bursting one year ana corn
is burned to save 1t, and the next year tnele
is no crop at ALL Better even little II IL
comes regularly than an immense surplus
one year and starvation the next, says the
Star-Herald, and It is safe to say that level
haadad farmers agree with 1t.

.rbe tariff Is a tax. n-Groyer Cleveland

1.-THE tariff is tax."-Grover Cleveland.
"In every case the amount Of the tariff is added
to the cost OF a commodity and Is ultimately pad
by the consumer."-Roger Q. Mills.
"0ne effect Of the Tariff is to injure the trade OF
the Bradford district very seriously. 1t Is imposs-
Bile TO export goods to America unless they are
prepared to take lower prices, and That means
less profits for manufacturers and less wages LOT
the people."-Sir Henry Mitchell at the Bradford
(EDg) Board of Trade.
Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Mills do not
seem to be in exact accord with the home
Office of the Golden Club. Perhaps the
cable is not working well and In the absence
of positive instructions the American states
men have allowed their ideas to lead them
astray. 1t will be noticed however that the
Englshman whom we quote today and the
Canadian paper, the Toronto Globe, agree that
the tariff tax is not paid by the consumer.
AS they are the foreigners in the case they
ought to know how it is. rather than Messrs.
Cleveland and Mills.

Mr.. Powderly's knights and the Farmers
Alliance crowd do not appear to fraternize
so completely as the leaders Of both seem to
wish. The Alliance men in the South use
good deal of bagging for their cotton crop
and as they are only human, after all, they
naturally want to have it furnished them at
the lowest possible cost. In one state, Texas,
the farmers in the legislature are con-
sidering the proposal of one of their number
to introduce bagging looms in the state
prison workshops with the view of reducing
the cost. If this is done and the expected
result follows, bagging mills will be set up
In all of the Southern penitentiaries and the
farmers will reap the benefit. This is all
very well for them, but as one of the chief
canons Of the faith Of the Knights of Labor is
the abolition of all prison competition with
free manufacturing, it will make attempts at
coalition of the two bodies difficult If not
impossible.

In the Nineteenth Century, Frederick Har-
rison again calls upon the English people to
return the Elgin marbles which Lord Elgin
looted in the Parthenon eighty years ago.
at the time when the raid was made, Greece
being in the hands Of Mohametan yaudals
and image breakers, Elgin's course was per-
haps defensible in that 1t resulted In the
preservation Of the works Of art that would
otherwise have been destroyed. Now how
ever, when Greece is once more peaceful and
the inhabitants are fully alive to the value of
the priceless relics of their ancient glory 1t
would be no more than right for England to
return the statues and bas-reliefs. There is
more powerful argument to be urged in
favor of this action. The English air is
doing for the Elgin marbles what New York
air is for Cleopatra's Needle, slowly eating
tup with the invisible spirit of carbonic
acid. Unless the statues are returned to the
shores of the Mediterranean and Its balmy
air they will soon be no more than heaps of
chalk and lime, and the atrocious side of
Elgin's conduct will be all there is left.
When the British government gives the
marbles back as it surely ought to, there
should be none of the British spirit of bar
gaining and trading accompanying the gift.
England owes the service to Greece. Greece
owes England nothing.

1t is significant fact that while all the
Democratic papers are alive to all the in
EQUITIES of the so called force" bill, their
eyes are all tightly closed against the far
more obvious iniquities of the Southern
States in the matter of their election laws.
The Mississippi constitution is clearly
framed for the purpose Of making
1t possible for the election inspectors
to disfranchise the ignorant negro
without at the same time DISTINGUISHING the
ignorant white voter. The discrimination is
so apparent that some of the religious papers
OF the state have cried out against
1t, but not a single Northern Demo-
cratic newspaper has even mildly
criticized it. So long as the tendency
Of the measure is to swell the Democratic
vote In the South and curtail the Republican,
be 1t ever so unfair, no Northern Democrat
finds fault with 1t, but when measure is
proposed that will tend to secure to the Re-
publicans of the South the right of suffrage
guaranteed them by the Constitution then
the air is blue with their denunciations.

Garden Hints.

Editor Florida Agricuturist
To secure the best results in summer
gardening, plant my seed deep but do
not cover it more than the usual depth,
leaving thesoil sloping toward the plant.
The advantages are: The roots are less
liable to be affected by the hot summer
sun; the plant gets the benefit of all the
rains that fall near it and If you have to
water it does not take as much as the
other way TO keep cut worms from
your plants sprinkle Paris green and
flour in the proportion of one to forty
over the rows few days before the seed
come up. | put it around tomato
plants after setting them and frequently
find the cut worms dead about the plants,
and lose q very small per cent. Be care
full not to get any of the mixture on the
leaves OF the growing plants. If you
have some plantsy0u wish to "hurry up"
fill q barrel about tWo-thirds full OF water
and then put in q lot of tobacco stems.
Let them stand all day and at evening
apply the liquid. 1t also acts as an in
secticide.
A garden half shaded will give better
results during the summer than where
left unprotected. Peas planted at this
season should be planted a foot deep
and even at that they will scarcely pay
for the trouble. Plant plenty of Okra
as what you do not use during the sum-
mer can be dried for table use during the
winter. The pods that mature can be

How TO Grow Radishcs.

Editor Florida Agriculturist:
Almost any one can grow radishes, but
few grow perfect ones. A good radish is
one Of the finest vegetables grown, a
poor one is the POOREST. This is the way
to make good ones. Have your land pre-
viously made rich with the following
compost: Stable manure one part,
cotton seed meal two parts, chicken ma
nure one part. Work the manure
thoroughly into the soil two weeks before
planting. Have the land thoroughly
prepared at time OF planting. Plant the
seed about one inch deep in drills eight
inches apart. When the seeds come
up thin to one half inch apart.
When they put on their fourth
leaf work little Humo-C Chemical
Vegetable fertilizer in the soil around the
roots. Water freely, putting in the water
about one gallon of liquid manure to
four gallons of water. When the plant
shows disposition to top too freely cut
Off all the leaves but two. Follow this
plan and you will have radishes quickly,
and SO brittle they will break in your
mouth like ice. L. P. SoUTHwICK.

HOW 90 Raise Bananas.

Editor Florida A 9riculturiSt:
IfyOu think you are far enough south,
you can have some of the finest bananas,
by selecting some well drained, low,
black palmetto (?) land, and thoroughly
clearing it Of roots; break it well both
ways and lime it we'll Open q ditch fiji
teen inches deep and thirty-six inches
wide, throwing the top soil one side and
the sub or lower soil the other: throw
back this top soil with a liberal mix
ing OF compost OF stable or cow lot
manure, adding pound to the hill, say
of good brand bone and potash. When
the ditch is full set the stalk or suckers
seven feet apart, and throw dirt with a
turn pillow and use a hoe to complete q
low bed four and half or five feet wide.

Editor Florida AgricuturiSt:
There can be more sweet potatoes
made by sticking two or more points OF
the vines under ground than just one,
but just one will make most potatoes.
In the grove the Acme harrow does the
incest work OF any implement and the
most DANCE by destroying angle or
earth-worms. In setting out orange
trees on land low enough to require
hillock for the same, place three Mig
ger-head rocks in a triangle position
just beneath the crown roots of the trees
thereby furnishing the roots something
solid to cling to during the next season.

EiitOr Florida AgriculturiSt:
1t pleases me to read articles in most
OF our leading papers, ofhow Mr.. A, B or
G raised a large crop OF Irish or sweet
potatoes, cotton or corn, rice or millet,
without telling how they did it. What
benefit is it to the agricultural or horti-
cultural portion of society to know that
Mr.. A raised three hundred bushels Of
Irish potatoes to the acre, or that Mr.. G
had succeeded in profitable grape cul-
ture if they don't tell how? What we
want is facts. What kind of land, when
planted, what fertilizer used and how
much. What kind Of seed and how
much to the acre or hill. Old land orneW,
deep or shallow blowing, level or hill cul-
ture. Give all the points then we will
know what to do about trying crop
without first experimenting. M.

LOUISVILLE. Mar. 2t-Last night about
o'clock it began to rain and the stor N

the cyclone struck the southwes,ern portion
of the city, the path of the tornado is from
18th and Maple streets northeasterly across
the city, past Seventh and Broadway, 10th
and Chestnut, 18th and jefferson to Union
depot at the foot of Seventh. The whole
thing was over in minute and half
The people living oltside the track Of

18th to I5th. Chestnut from 18th to 18th,
and Broadway in the neighborhoo1 Of 18th
and l9ih streets, are tillee with debris and

Jeffersonville was struck by the cyclone
at 8 O'Clock, and was very distinctly heard
two miles out in the country, where the
people wondered what it meant. Not q
person was killed in Jefersonville. but
some were badly hurt The destruction
