The corrupt practices act recently passed
Dy the New York legislature, which under
takes to compel candidates for office to file
detailed statement of their campaign expen-
ditures, was tried for the first time at the mu-
nlcipal election in Albany, If the state
ments filed by the several candidates consti.
tute full compliance with the law, then the
law is OF no account for the purpose for
which 1t Was passed, which was, to prevent
the expenditure Of money for corrupt pur-
poses. Mr.. Manning, the Democratic candi-
date for mayor. reports that he paid $500 to
TO the Democratic city committee. to be ex-
pended for legitimate purposes, and that is
the sum total of his report. The sole result
OF 1t is to crafty public curiosity as to the
amount his election cost Mr.. Manning. II
gives no information whatever as to the
purposes to which the money was actually
devoted. Evidently If the law is to accomplish
anything of value it must be modified SO as
TO compel not only candidates, but also cam
paign committees. to furnish an account of
their expenditures, because as it now is, the
candidate can practically evade the law by
handing his contribution over to the cam
paign committee and entrusting to them the
expenditure of it,

lures and place it directly in the hands Of
the people. 1t is possible that State may
be so gerrymandered that the controlling ma.
Jority in the legislature, may not represent
the majority of the people, and consequently
Senator chosen by it may misrepresent in
stead Of represent the people of the State.
Another consideration which deserves
weight is the fact that our legislatures nova
days are apparently very impressionable to
great wealth, and as consequence the SEN
ate is being filed ap with millionaires, many
of whom have little capacity for the duties
OF the office. With the people money would
not be SO potent, In popular election too
the merits of the candidates would be likely
to be more thoroughly examined, than thew
are under the present system.

of reckless extravaganza, but "Coal Oil

by his father, q colonial capitalist. 1t
was jubilee year, the queen of England's
Jubilee, and Benzon soon wore the title
of Jubilee Juggins." He threw away
his money in every conceivable extrav-
asance of vice. Then he published
book detailing the way in which he had
souandered his inheritance, and thereby
realized small fortune, which supplied
his wants for just ten days. Now he is
undergoing three months imprisonment
for forgery, the sentence being mild be-
cause of the courts belief that Benzon is
weak minded. The young fellow is not
destitute, however, for $3.50, 900 of his
capital, of which he can only handle the
interest, is held by trustees. 1t is not
often one learns of such a shameful and
wicked misuse of wealth as that for
which Benzon is responsible.

clandes..he Marriage of Legal Infants.

The clandestine marriage at Milwau-
kee of Charles Hamilton Eliot, aged Is,
and Lizzie Nugent, aged 16, would seem
again to bring into prominence the ne
cessity for some legal regulation that
will serve to prevent those armed with
the authority from uniting the lives Of
children solely for the sake Of the fee at
tendant on performing the ceremony.
The Milwaukee bride and groom are
mere school children, dependent on
their parents for support, and the dis
covery Of their foolish exploit has
brought sorrow to two homes, and given
the husband and wife good deal Of un-

grown, a very good plan is TO pillow up
and seed to rye early 10 the fall. 1t
can be pastured during the winter to
more or less extent, depending upon
the growth Let it grow until the
middle Of spring, or even until the 1st
of May, then turn under and SOW buck
wheat Let this make a good growth
blowing under when in full bloom, and
seeding again. By the latter part of
summer, or early fall, this viii do to
pillow under again. giving three crops in
a year to add to the fertility OF the soil.
Wheat can be sown in the fall and grass
or clover with it, or in the spring, as
NAV be preferred.
Sowed corn or oats are both good
crops to use as a green manure, and
can be sown after the crops are all
planted IN the spring. and will make a
sufficient growth BY fall or the latter
part OF summer, to turn under. Clover
is. Of course. the very best crop that can
be used for this purpose,
With all crops grown for the purpose
of green manuring, if the best results
are secured, it win pay to manage to
pillow under when they have made their
best growth, and before the plants have
matured. With clover and buckwheat,
especially the best time TO plow under
is when the largest number of plants is
in full blossom; at this time they con-
tain a larger per cent OF nitrogen
than at any other. If allowed to get
too ripe there is loss of this valuable
element aud it is quite an item to turn
under so rs to secure all the benefit
possible.
Cloyeris "a good crop touse for green
manuring bat it is not always possible
to secure "a good stand OF this; and in
planning the work for the yeari a many
eases it will be found a good plan to
seed at least one field to some green
crop to when it has secured a good
growth pillow under Under many con-
ditions it is one of the cheapest and
best plans Of giving a good application
of fertilizer. -Prajrie Farmer.

Care and Management OF colts.

Breaking colts is an easy matter If
not deferred too long, Colts, to make
good, safe horses, must be handled
young As a matter OF course they
vary in disposition. But there is one
thing YOU must make the colt under
stand you are It's master. Halter it at
four weeks old; tie it beside its dam;
give it oats; If it struggles at the halter,
pat it., talk to it, treat it about as you
would a boy. Never leave it until it
has done as YOU wish il; do not tease il;
resent its inclination 10 bite, strike or
kick; rub the fork handle and shovel
against its heels and legs; make it used
to noise, bells, blankets and robes; if
frightened, pat it, talk to it, give it to
understand YOU are its friend, and it
will have confidence i'm You. Teach it
to come at your whistle, and give it
something when it does No matter
how dark it is, or where my colts are,
if they can hear my whistle they come
on the run, aud l always greet them
kindly. think a colt safer, aud a
truer, better horse if broken young to
harness; but nothing but light driving
should be expected until rising years
old.
Break your colt with a quick, active
horse 1t makes better walker and
driver, When You want it to draw, com
meuce light increase gradually, and
the colt will think it can draw any
thing. Teach the colt to stop at
whoa aad use the word steady if
YOU want him TO go slower. Shove the
gearing onto him. rattle the whiGle-tree
against his heels. teach him it is moth
ing that will hurt him, and should any
thing give way, ii will hold the load
coming down hill-at least, such is my
experience. Feed the colt anything it
viii eat. never had case of collie
by changing feed; but l always used
salt when | changed. Never feed
heavy; water freely while on the road.
There is more danger in watering a
horse after letting it go too long with
out it, Il you have driven hard all day
and cannot feed or water, put him up,
