The ordinance providing for a popular
vote on the question of 50, 00O, 900 increase
in the city's bonded Indebtedness will meet
with strong opposition. 1t was the princi-
pal feature of yesterdays Council meeting,
but got through only one branch Prior to
the meeting the Finance Committee held a
session and adopted Controller Morrow's
amendment giving the bonds 10 years to
run at an interest not exceeding per cent.
The issue of these bonds has been thought
necessary to pay for improvements
made or started under the defunct
street acts of 1887 and 1889. The money
for these improvements cannot be collected
in time, under the curative act, and to avoid
a large increase in next years tax millage
the issue of bonds has been suggested.
Should any of this money be collected up to
the time of the issuing of these bonds the
issue will be lessened accordingly.
The amount of Indebtedness, intended to
be covered by the new bonds isexplained in
a letter from Chief Bigelow, of the Depart
ment of Public Works, to Mayo. Gourley,

This is a glorious prospect for the

allied by earnest and persistent work
and thorough organization in every

result OF the late election shows con
clusively that there is no Republican
stronghold which may be called unas-

way OF their own to oVerturn the most.
powerful political bulwarzs. when they
come to the understanding that their
servants are unfaithful to them. The
Republican party has proved such a
disastrous failure during this admins
tratiOn and Congress. that il is univer-
sally condemned. The magnificent re-
suits of Mr.. Cleveland's wise and pa
triotic administration are being more
generally understood by the contrast
presented by his successor. The infamy
OF the present Congress has also had
considerable influence in discrediting
the Republican party in the eyes of the
people. Let the Democrats only be

Effects CT Speculative Congressional Acts
Commerce.
In anticipation OF the passage OF the
Mckinley bill, manufactures abroad
were immensely stimulated, were
imports to this country for the last six
months of grace. The result was that
enormous quantities of imported goods
are held in bond in New York, and fair
ly OvershadOyv the manufacturing inter
ests of this country, being in the nature
of overprOduction and resting as a men
ace to the trade. The effect is disas-
trous to labor, while not relieving in
any manner the consumer. Failures in
manufactures are resulting and must
result therefrom, and for some time the
country must stagger under the abnOr-
mai condition of affairs precipitated by
tariff tinkering. AS to the stuPendous
mountain of goods in store, the chances
are that ultimately much will have to
be sold at sacrifice, and while this
will keep home fabrics out of the mar

ing to the market which can never be
looked on as healthful.
The lesson taught is that legislated
business is the unsOundest kind of com
merce. 1t is like dosing a man with
medicines instead of letting him eat his
daily bread. Speculative Congressional
acts have been the bane of business for
many years, and no wonder can exist
that panics threaten and that failures
are getting to be a standard annual
crop. Nothing but evil can possibly
follow the acts of Congress which have
been promulgated under pressure of the
party which is backed and nourished by
the spectators of New York and the
monopolists of the whole country

4 Fable for Society Young Men.

A pert young ostrich, inflated by the
beauty of his growing tail-feathers,
encountered hippopotamus taking the
evening air by the bank of the river in
which he conducted his business.
Sauntering insolently by, the bird re-
turned the sedate beasts salute with a
negligent nod, affecting at the same
time to yawn. "My young friend"
said the hippOpotamus, in tone of re-
proof. IF you must indulge In that
practice let me at least show you how
it is done by those who have pursued it
from youth" With these words he eplit
his face, and, laying back the lid. ex-
posed a cavern which presently closed
on paralyzed ostrich. Then the level
beams of the sun fell with superfluous
illumination on the feature of hippo
potamus already lighted up by sanity

nying engraving. At 1 is spray of
Oat smut: . wheat, and 5 a smutted
ear of corn. These figures are not, of
course, drawn to the same scale. In
order better to understand other parts
of the engraving, it may be said that
smuts are minute plants, so small as to
require the high powers of the micro
scope to be seen. They prey upon the
grain plants, sending their vegetative
filaments into the substance of the
host supporting them. Therefore the
smut fungus consists of two pOr-
tions, namely. the threads, usual
~ colorless and therefore not
seen unless looked for with great
care, and the bodies, known as
spores, which are minute and spherical
and in mass constitute the smut as seen
by the naked eye. Fig. shows the
tips Of two such threads, and in them
the spores are beginning to form, as
shown by the small spherical masses
near the center of the threads. At 5
is seen a more advanced stage of the
spOre formation, while at 6 two spores
are shown free and two below with the
tubes, formed in termination, united.
At : is seen a spore that is terminating
by producing a number of smaller
spores end to end, which are able to
start new colonies elsewhere.
There are several kinds of smut, and
the one shown at 9 is known as the stink
ing smut, a grain thus smutted being
shown at 10, both whole and in cross
section, the whole interior of the grain
consisting of powder with an often
sive odor. A healthy grain, whole and
in section, is shown at to illustrate
the difference in size and shape be-
tween the good and the smutted grain.
At IL and 1a is shown the formation of
the spores of this smut, while other
forms with large and more complicated
spores are seen at Is and IA.
DR.. Brefeld's method of treating
plants was by means of an atomizer
loaded with the sprout spores grown in
nutrient solutions. He sOwed his seeds
of the smut in a wide range of selected
places with the above results. The
spOre generation, produced free from
cereal, was able to effectively inoculate.

DR.. Oskar Brefeld, professor of bot
any in Munster, has given many years
to study of the smuts of the various
cereals-wheat, oats. barley, rye, corn,
sorghum, etc. The practical results Of
his prolonged labors have been given
to the world in an address before the
Society of Agriculturists of Berlin. A
translation of the published address by
Prof. E. F. Smith appears in the Jour
nal of Mycology of the division of veg
etable pathology of the United States
department of agriculture, from which
many of the facts herein stated have
been drawn.
The time of year is now approaching
when smut may be looked for. Unlike
the rusts they, as rule, are confined
to the heads or fruiting portion of the
grain. and therefore are not conspicu-
GUS until the grain begins to develop its
flowers into grain. That the reader
may have pictorial representation OF
the subject before him, several forms
of smut are presented in the accompa-

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

ular harm to again suggest that shade
of some kind should be provided in the
pastures.
OF course, if we can always keep a
COW healthy. she will do her best Bad
luck at calving time is usually the re-
suit of an impaired system.
IT is of no use to attempt to run a
dairy properly unless the utensils are
thoroughly cleaned. Rinsing is not
enough. Use little elbow grease.
THE vast majority of cows will re-
spond promptly to kind treatment If
a COW has the mischief born in her it
is better, as rule, to get rid of her.
Do NOT permit the cows to run where
there are exceedingly foul odors. The
rules of purity should operate before
the milk is drawn as we'll as after
wards.
Do NOT let the cream become too
sour before churning. Souring, re-
member, is a process of putrefaction,
and rotten cream will never make nice
ly-tiavored butter.
A SICK COW will not produce good
butter. Nor will sick dairyman make
good butter, as rule. The dairy re-
quires too much close attention and
regular work for an invalid to attempt
to do the practical work in it.

have stacked much grain in my day,
and none of it became wet in the stack.
Begin by setting two bundles on end,
leaning together at angle of about 20
degrees, then continue around and
around until the stack bottom is large
enough. The center sheaves should be
pressed in as closely together as possi-
BILE. AS the circle enlarges each sue
ceeding course should he given little
more slant, SO that when the last course
is laid it will have but a slight slant.
The stack bottom is then highest in the
middle. This rule is followed until
the stack is finished. As the laying
proceeds from the center the sheaves
should be laid less closely in a dimin-
ishing degree, SO that the stack will
settle least in the center. After the
first course the stacker should be on
his knees and press down every sheaf-
When the foundation is about feet
high the outside tiers of sheaves must
be laid to project little over the ones
Immediately beneath, to give the stack
the proper bulge, that the water may
be conveyed away from the base. The
outer courses when being Laid out"
must be secured or some may slide
when considerable weight presses upon
them.
Grasp each sheaf with both hands,
raise the headsend almost perpendicu-
lar and ''chuck" the bdtt end into the
butt of the one beneath, then lower
and push out to place; the ends of some
of the straws, catching into the sheaf
beneath, hold it from sliding out. I
continue this practice when drawing
in to top out" A good man is need
ed to pitch from the wagon to the one
on the stack who pitches to the stack
er. The sheaves should be thrown
within reach of the latter. who has to
move around as the stacker does. The
wagon should not be unloaded from
the same side of the stack twice in sue
cession. The pitching-of should be
done all around, to prevent packing
down the sheaves more in one pla;e
than another. The stack pitcher should
not stand in one place longer than two
minutes, but keep moving in different
circles about the center. His place is
never nearer than 8 or feet to the
edge of the stack. Keep the center
full, keep it pressed solid and even. ana
then the stack will settle squarely.
Stacked thus, sheaves will turn water
as readily as ducks back. For :
stack of 25 feet diameter the center
should be kept feet higher than the
outer edge.-Galen Wilson, in n. Y.
