Rye as n Sreen Crop,

The use of rye to plow under as a green
manuriag crop hes some special advan-
tages. Country Gentleman briefly sums
them up as follows:
Rye may he sown any tine in autumn.
after tho crops Of POTATOES, corn and other
growth have boen removed. and even
during mild days with o11en soil, in win
ter. Land which otherwise would lie
idle is thus employed in producing a
useful growth There are two periods
for pio1'hsg rye under. If it is to be
plowed undsr in spring before it has
made much growth at this season, and
the ground is TO be planted with early
crops. less benefit Is obtained from 1t as
an enrhcher Of the land than II allowed
to grow a few weeks.
The best TIME, however, is just before
tt is heading ou; If left tin the heads
are fully formed, or till tbs seeds are
formed and ripcnins. the straw has DO

not fully rot in the soil VIII another sea-
son. The earlier it is sown in autumn,
the stronger the growth becomes before
winter, and the more ready it is for early
spring blowing. But this is OF less con-
sequence if the rye is to De allowed to
grow till the middle Of May or ater, and
then plowed in for corn or fodder corn
or millet. We have sowed rye during
open weather in February, and had
moderate crop the following summer,

A successful bee keeper tells in Amer
lean Rural Home that all bee hives ought
TO be painted to protect them from decay.
He says; eve are al aware of the fact
that the exterior of hives needs coating

mixture that prepare for the purpose is
impervious to water, and the component
parts are as follows: One-third resin to
two-thirds beeswax with a little tallow

the work I have to do. Dissolve the

be taken to spread even and regular over

Wilmington Republicans who read to-
day the speech on the Mckinley Tariff
bill, delivered in the Eouse yesterday by
the Hon. Benjamin Bu.terworth OF Ohio,
will comprehend more clearly perhaps
Than they have done before how il was
that Mr.. ButtOrworth found it incon-
venient to come to this city and reply to
the Opera House speech OF Senator
Vance, as he was urgently solicited to do
in the fail of 1883. 1t was somewhat
privately given out at that time that Mr..
ButterwOrth was not prepared to 20 to
the full length OF his party platform Oh
"proteetion." The tiue has at length
come when he felt constrained by sense
Of duty to himself, to his constituents
and to his party, to stand up aud protest
against the unwisdom and injustice OF
the pending legislation which Mckinley
anu Reed have contracted to put through,
it they can. lie tells his fellow Kspub-
leans that the Mckinley bill is neither
Republican nor protective, in the sense
in which he understands hese terms, but
measure subversivs OF that very
equality OF opportunity the promotion OF
which can be the only justification for
exceeding purely revenue tariff. He
punctures the fsllacy that competition
will make it all right; he insists Tint
there should be no specially favored in-
dustries ito draw blood from other
industries to make fat and pursy
that which has been given the nd yantago;"
hs warns his fellow Republicans that
the people are beginning to understand
or to inquire, why Paul is favored and
Peter turned down." he shows that in
crease Of production and lessening of
cost have not come through tariff
fostered competition, but through i'm
proved methods discoveries and inyen-
tons he speaks for commercial reci-
procity that shall embrace ihs whole
continent and pull down the high tariff
wall along our Canadian frontier; he could
count upon his ten fingers men whose
combined profits in the last decade have
exceeded those of oil the agsicuilurists of
any state in the Union; he denounced the
injustice of taxing the American people

With respect TO the first appropriation
of money for the Wilmington post. office,
W. r. b., OF Smyrna, is informed that in
1884 bill was introduced in and passed
by Congress, giving authority for the
construction of new public buildlng In
this city. The Secretary Of the Treasury
at that time held that bills OF this char
aor4r were not in the nature OF appropri-
ations, and that before anything could be
done On appropriation would have to be
secured. Abort February, 1885, when
he general appropriation bill was in the
Senate, Hon. Thomas F. Bayerd, then a
Senator from this State, had an item in
serted appropriating $l5O,OO for a new
public building in this city. It went
through tbs Senate, and Hon. CHARLES b.
Lore, then our Representative in Con-
greSs, attended to its passage through the
House. In this manner was the fiist sp-
preparation for Wilmington's new public
building secured.

The more that Iowa decision OF the
United States supreme Court is dissected,
the bigger it grows. 1t is now commended
by some writer's that IT applies to every
thing which may become a subject OF in
terstate commerce, even to such articles
as lottery tickets, obscene books and the
like, SO long as they are handled in
"original packages" Further that inter.
state commerce covers all conceivable
modes OF bringing articles from one state
to another; the vehicle Of transportation
may be steamboat, railway car,
wagon, a wheelbsrrow or even basket
carried by 4 boy. And, still more, that
il Congress can, as the Supreme Oonrt
intimates, empower the several states to
prohibit the sale of Intoxicating liquors,
ia the original packages, within their
borders, by parity Of reason Congress
can extend the same authority to the
prohibition OF other subjects OF inter-
state commerce and thus interfere with
free trade among the states. For illus
trstion, TO carry out this claim to its log
ical ultimatum, il Iowa, with the consent
Of Congress, may forbid the importation
OF liquor from another state, Pennsyl.
yania may, with the sanction OF the same
authority forbid the importation of Ala
bama iron or Delaware peaches. Then
we should have protection" with ven

The Nous protesses to be much exer-

county Democratic levy court commis-

plies to that county. Our own Mr.. Hiok-
man has been doing inst exactly the

office, but there has never been protest
AGAINST any Of his transactions from the

give it county printing in exchange for
its silence with an occasional word OF

that they are right. from their stand

Since they hold that there ia nothing
short Of absolute oblitsrasiou of the man

can conscientiously accspt and that all

again make the funny mistake in Della

time since the delivery of the opening
speeches by Msssrs Mckinley and Mills
has there been az mary as one hundred
memhers OF the House in their seats dur
ing the general debate on the tariff bill,
which was closed Saturday night. Thisin-
difference indicates thst even the "pro-
tinnists" regard the measure as more for
buncombe than business. To-day the
consideration Of the bill by paragraphs
under the iye-minuts rule is to be en-
tered upon, the programme being to con-
piete the consideration OF amendments
this week, il possible, and then unload
