Raising Snow Plants.

The Truckee Republican says Mr..
S. p. johnson is enthusiastic on the
subject OF botany and Horticulture.
For years he has made a study OF
the snow plant, that beautiful speci-
men of plant life found only in the
Sierras. His work has been
in the direction OF endeavoring
to propagate them, a task here
tofore considered impossible. After
many failures he succeeded in be-
ing able to reproduce them to a
great extent. The plant is repro
duced in the manner OF mush-
rooms, and one must have peculiar
conditions to successfully raise
them. Mr.. Johnson succeeded in
raising a large bed of them in Plu-
mas last year, but being away from
the lines CT commerce, he found
no profit in the undertaking. This
year he came to Truckee aud after
hunting around found desirable
location about three and a half
miles from town in the thick woods
where the snow fall is heavy. As
soon as the snow was off the
ground he prepared about an acre
of rich soil and started n snow
plant bed. The red tips OF the
plants are now pushing themselves
through the ground and in about
another week he will commence
supplying the market. He has
orders from San Francisco florists
to take all Of this years crop at
good figures and expects to make
$500 this year

A scheme, which had its origin
in Texas, is being discussed in
Grand Army circles. 1t is the
building of Il gigantic monument
at the nations capital, which will
overtop the Washington monu-
ment as that overtops others-to
be erected in memory OF the valor
and patriotism of the Federals
and Confederates alike. Such a
monument would stand for gen
erations as a testimonial of the
fact that the men of the present
day were as magnanimous as they
were brave.

"OLD UORALITYSD DEATH.

Few English statesmen have enjoyed more
universal esteem and kindly regard on the part
of men of every political faction than the Right
Honorable William Henry Smith, whose death
took place yesterday He was an admirable
tyl,c of the British middle class, possessing all
the sound common sense, the ingrained respecta-
bility, and the sturdy honesty which constitute
IT'S best characteristics and render it the back
bone of the nation. The son of small news
dealer and himself member of his fathers
firm. his efror;S at the outset of his political
career to ally himself to the Liberals were con-
temptuOusly rejected by the latter, and he was
refused admissio3 TO the Reform Club on the
ground that he was in trade-that is to say, n
retail newsdeaer. He thereupOn offered his
services 10 the Conservative party who dis
played greater breadth of view, and the shop
keeper whom the Wings rejected on the score
of the inferiority of his social status died yes
torday honored and esteemed as the First lord
of the Treasury, as Lord Warden of the Cinquc
Ports, and as TIE Parliamentary leader of the
blue-blooded Tory party of Great Britain.
Mr. Smiths career was almost as wonderful
in IT'S way as that of his first friend and patron
Lord Beaconsfeld. The emnence however
which the latter achieved by dint of genius, and
an mpudence so brilliant as to be almost
sublime cold Morality" attained by sheer hard
work and application, and by the possession in
a marked degree of that quality which English
men prize above all others, namely, honest com
nonsense. 1t was this that won for him most
of the prizes of British political life. The news
dealer became in turn Commander of the
Queens Nayee' as First Lord of the Admiralty,
then Secretary of State for War, Secretary for
Ireland and First Lord of the Treasury. Dur
ing the last session it however became apparent
that the failure Of his health would preclude

THERE FIGHTING WILL WIN.

~
Mr.. Zieeler's letter on the municipal canvass
is the best bit of political literature which has
been Seen in Brooklyn for many day. 1t out
lines five issues on which the Republican can
vass ought 10 be conducted this fall in that town,
and opens the case under each head OF the In
dictment. These issues as he. tersely defines
them. are the water scandal, the ST JOnnlahd
frauds, the delinquent elevated ROADS, street
paving frauds and dummy street cleaning. lie
charges Mayor Chaplin with wilful Official mis-
conduct in the water scandal, and with dehb-
crate neglect Of duty in failing to attend meet
ings of the Board of Supervisors, a. when
fraudulent expenditures for st. Johnland nave
been authorized. Equally incisive Is his DIS
cussOn Of the evasion of taxation by the eie-
waited railways, the wasteful manner in which
streets have been repaved and the shamerui
mismanagement Of the Street-Cleanlng Bureau
For all these scandals Mr.. Ziegler holds the
present Mayor of Brooklyn personally account
able The letter is virtually challenge to the
Democratic party to renomlnate Mayor Chapin
and to meet without equivocatlon these issues
If this aggressive letter is thunderDot ID
the Democratic camp, it ought to electrlIy inc
Republican party in Brooklyn. 1t matters noO
who NAV be their candidate for Mayor, ther
nlatform is furnished in advance by this resoiute
and vigorous citizen. Let them take up these
FIVE issues. and they will command the support
of men OF all parties. A fighting canvass IN
Brool,lyn for honest and efficient municipal gov
eminent will be wholly in accord with MI aS-
sets aggressive campaign against lainmaly
rule and Hillism in the State. 1t IS maehiii-
cent opportunity which is opening before inc
BROOKLYN Republicans this month. by appeal
inc strongly to all citizens who have the IN
tarests and welfare of the town at heart to unlte
with them in reforming the municipal admins
tration. they will greatly strengthen the hepuO-
lican canvass in the State.
Mr.. Ziegler has been so active and succeSslui
in defeating the water scandal that his name nae
been prominently mentioned as candidate 1of
Mayor His uncomprOmisng letter IN Whicn he
refers TO that scandal as " a cold-booded mercl-
los. and corrupt attempt to loot the rentpayerS
ond taxnayers out of about 81, 100000 I'M
doubtedly establishes his claims as candidate
Of the fighting order. When he announces that
he will not take the nomination as partisan,
but solely as a citizen soliciting the support OF
all friends of good government, ne elevates MS
candidahre to high plane where non-par-
t;san canvass can be conducted. 1t Is not IHE
TR1R1-NE's habit to embarraSs nominating con-
vontions with its counsel before their choice OF
candidates is made. We are confident that our
Republican friends understand what they are
about and will name the right CANDIDATE Ior
Mayor. All that we do insist upon having IS
n canvass of the same fighting quality as MI
Zieg er's letter. 1t will be winning canvass

SOME RULES OF FAITH AND PRACTICE

SOME RULES OF FAITH AND PRACTICE
BY close vote the Presbytery Of New-York
has determined not to compromise or drop the
case against Dr. Briggs and his trial for hereSy
will begin on November 4. He will employ the
interval in preparing his defence 1t is to be
hoped that those who are to be identified in
action and in remembrance with this celebrated
prosecution will employ a due share of the in
terval in cultivating spirit Of moderation and
courtesy. History shows that ecclesiastical con-
troyeIses are not less likely than others to arouse
stormy passions and loose venOmous Tongues.
Except for long record of facts to the con-
trary, it might be assumed that men whose
avowed mission is to commend and eXemplify
a gospel of love would recognize a special obi
CATION to charity when they undertake the
solemn and painful! task of determining whether
or not a brother has strayed from the faith.
Unhappily, it is impossible now, as it always has
been, to reckon with confidence upon a glorious
triumph of grace over temptation when the
Church has divided on question of belief or
discipline. The preaching of the pulpit is not
the practice of the ecclesiastical courtroom.
The New-YorIl Presbytery made bad be-
ginning on Monday. We learn from the news
paper reports, anu HlOTe IuIi! from private III
formation, that the proceedings Of the first
session were characterized by displays of tenn
per and excuses Of speech which would dis
credit a political caucus, and which are pc
culiarly deplorable and disgraceful coming from
persons who profess to be actuated by an alb
sorbing love of God and man. This is a time
when those who stand before the world as the
chosen exemplars of Christianity have special
reason for circumspecton. Believing, as they
do, in the efficacy of prayer, they may well petit
ion for a larger measure of faith, and partic-
ularly for an added supply of grace. They are
watched with keen scrutiny by sceptics and with
deep sOlicitlde by millions of believers. Upon
heir utterances and actions depends in very
great degree the prosperity of the Church, and
hence, as they must suppose, the welfare of the
RICE Not only the verdict in this trial which
now engrosses them, but the methods and spirit
which characterize it will exert an incaculable
influence hereafter.
This is not an appeal for a langud prosecution
or a lStless defence The case is one of great
interest and impc .tance, and it is the duty as
we'll as the right OF those whose convictions are
strong to uphold them with vigor and stcadfast-
ness But there is no occasion or excuse for
intemperance, malevolence or bluster; for
charges Of falsehood or appeals to passion; for
Institutions of bad faith or assumptions of

competent, they specify the measure necessary
to maintain a rational distribution OF the per-
sonnet, and they establish standards which, II
faithfully adhered to, will secure to the service
the highest possible efficiency. 1t would seem
not unreasonable to expect that even such
partisan Congress as the next ono promises 10
be will, in this one respect at least subordinate
partisan to patriotic feeling. No party IS likely
TO commend itself to the American people by
ignoring the welfare of the American Navy
indeed. there could be no better claim to pop
ular gratitude and favor than record OF CO.
operation if not of emulation in the achievement

We hate to impute insincerity to anybody, and
especially to man who has the entire confidence
of that noble band of patriots who for so many
wears under the corporate name of the Iammany

upon your earnest faces, l cannot doubt that you
will do your full duty to yourselves, to your can

he had not seen their earnest faces and did not
know what was written on them? Perhaps
though. he meant to make sure of the fact before
delivering the speech; and it may be. though we
can hardly credit it. that If he had not ionno oe-
termination written on their earnest faces he
would have omitted the sentence. which. consider
ing that it was the finest in the speech, would
have been a considerable sacrifice. We should
not like to think that Roswell Flower was ever

with Mr.. Fassett at their head, have entered
Anyhow Richard Croker has determined upon
a change of policy, and he announced last
evening that a hundred speakers will be sent
out through the State to plead Tammany's cause
with the voters. OF course these orators will
I've on the defensive, and will find it exceedingly
hard work to convince the people that Tammany
is pure and above reproach. Mr.. Crokers de-
cision, though, is an emphatic compliment to
the Republican methods Of campaigning that arc

The Presbytery cooled down good deal yes
terday, and there appeared to be general dis
position to let Christian charity prevail in the
proceedings. The excited minister who on the
previous day virtually charged another member
with uttering falsehood caught the spirit OF
the occasion and explained that he only meant
TO charge his brother with making an inaccurate
statement. 1t must be confessed that this dis
sinc.ion is rather fine drawn, but as it satisfied
the accused clergyman we have no disposition
to find fault with it, Still ministers engaged

Monday was bad day for the Democracy.
Mr.. Oelrichs resigned from the State Committee
because he could not defend or even tolerate. the
methods and control of Tammany. Lieutenant-

were weak, he expected to continue vigorous
opposition to the Wigwam and everything per-
tanning to it, Ex-President Cleveland assured
his party that it was in the hardest fight of its
life and in need Of every possible recruit and
the most strenuous efforts. Mr.. Flower fort
night ago was expecting a majority of 10000,
but we understand that he would now agree to
take 10000 and call it square.
