ASK the soil, through the CROP" is
a method frequently suggested, and it
is a good one,-if the enquirer knows
just how to put his question. A law
yer, or physician, has to be carefully
trained in the art of putting questions,
and his success in his profession de-
ponds upon the degree of skill he has
reached in this art of inquisition. 1t is
not every one who can put a question
to witness, or patient, or to the
earth, and get truthful and enlighten-
ing reply.
BEFORE questioning begins, in this
matter, it must be made sure that the
defective crop is so because there is
really short supply of its food in the
earth where it grew. The supply may
be getting short, without being actually
deficient. The early gold gatherers in
California often abandoned placers as
"worked out" where more skillful
workers could follow them and extract
very large sums, simply by the use of
better methods. 1t is sometimes 50 in
farming.
A FIELD well plowed, is half ma
nured," is an old saying of the British
farmers. Thorough and intelligent
working of the soil, Gas we'll as the gold
placer), will develop its resources in a
wonderful manner. But it must be adj
mitted that this thorough culture, while
it lengthens the time during which
crops can be proftably grown without
manure, proportionally reduces the
strength of the soil and leaves it more
completely impoverished at the end.

The wife Of a New York railway

The wife of a New York railway
millionaire, who found that she
was growing obese, had the size Of
her neck reduced by massage ar
tist in order to accommodate a di-
amond necklace. The beautItier
worked some weeks, eradicated
wrinkles, remodeled the neck, and
then sent in a bill for 5000. The
miIlionairess refused to cash it,
and now the beautifier and her
bill have rushed into court, and
will make fun at her patrons ex-
pense. The arts for the san Of
vanity come high, but it is gener-
ally the part Of wisdom to pay the
price in preference to occupying a
reserved seat in the witness box.

TaE yc.ORY.

The great Democratic yictory
deserved aud won ii Illinois after
al unprecedented struggle viii be
forever memorable ID the history
Of the United States and Of popu-
lar government
| 1t is first Of all a triumph Of the
West III The remarkable movement
Of Western Democracy for the re-
establishment Of popular suprem-
acy in government. But il ID not
less triumph of the people Of the
whole Union. A crushing blow
has been struck at the PIutocratic
power III its stronghold il the
United States Senate. The peO-
pie have begun to storm the in
trenchments Of its citadel, and in
the election Of Jon M. Palmer they
make breach through which they
will press until they have won
back what has been usurped from
them.
The victory in Illinois is the
victory Of men against dollars; Of
manhood right against money
Driyilepa. n means that no Marty |
can hold its own before the people |
hereafter without consulting the
people. II means that the caucus
auction and the sale Of United |
States Senatorships shall be no
more. II means that the possess
sion of a million will not give its
possessor power to buy for himself
the privilege Of voting down and
voting away the peoples right to
self-government.
1t is worth more than an acci-
dental victory in a Presidential
election. II puts the Democratic
principle Of self-government at the
front with the masses Of the peo-
pie pressing on behind it. The
West has won in its first pitched
battle with Plutocracy, and it will
continue In win
And in every cheer over the glo-
rious victory let honor for the
name Of John M. Palmer blend
with the enthusiasm for the prin-
siple Of American self-government
