have made the most of every element
of prosperity at home
The county and district fairs in Tex
rs, more numerous better attended
and with better exhibits than ever be-
fore, tell their own story of substantial
prosperity among the farmers, as well
as of their keen interest in the finer

wherewith to spend, and borrowing
has been difficult; but they have been

The results of the years saving and

in the statement that the farmers will
this year owe less money when the
crops are sold than.they owed last year;

1t is not to be wondered at that Sun
set Cox believed in his private secretary
and held him in affectionate regard. 1
once heard him say that every man in
congress- ought to have a private Sec
rotary, paid for by a regular appropria-
ton. because every man, especially in
the house of representatives, should be
ter writing and work in the executive
departments in order that he may have
more time to attend to legislative du-
ties" His idea was that an appropria-
ton should be made which would be
sufficiently liberal to pay for the services
of men who can devote their entire
time and attention to the affairs of
congressional district, to write proper
1oAk .,-s
necessary to dictate them; men who
can go into the executive departments
and look after the interests Of con-
stituents, and be received as the &C
credited representatives of the congress
men. and attend to public business for
them and in their names. Such men,
however, would require fair compensa-
ton. They should possess abilities of a
high order, be practically competent to
represent their districts, almost if not
quite as well as the congressman them
selves. Men of that caliber would COM
mand at least $4,000 each per annum;
and, for congress composed of over
four hundred members, the annual appro-
priation would aggregate about $500, 900.
That is an immense sum, and congress
men fear to vote for it, lest they be &C
cuSed OF extravaganza by the people.
But as a matter of fact, it would be adj
visable to make that amount available
every year. 1t would give 20 every
man, woman and child in the country
better congressional service, both in
the halls of legislation and in the ex-
ecutive departments. The time is COM
ing when it must be done; but it will
be ten or twenty years hence, prob
ably not in our lifetime.

The lingo Statesman Perpetrates One Of
His Old-Tims Trickx-
MI. Blaine attempts to spike the gun
he himself loaded when he wrote his
famous letter to Senator Fry about the
Mckinley bill He now says that his
condemnation of it was written before
the reciprocity clause was put in. and
that that removed all his objections.
Now it is to be said that the reciproc-
ity clause of the bill is VIGOROUSLY not
what Mr.. Blaine wanted it to be and
tried to make it. He wanted the duty
on sugar left on. and one on hides put
on, SO that he could actually have some
concessions to offer instead of, as now,
only a threat to make. He also AIDA
that 'the reciprocity provision is prov
ing very useful. especially in farm
products, and more particularly in the
case of the two articles mentioned in
the paragraph quoted, pork and flour"
In this he differs from the last cam,
paign document put forth by the bureau
of statistics, in which it is admitted
that ut is not to be expected that the
results of the treaty with Brazil will
be very marked as yet" He differs
still more from the Dry Goods Econo-
mist, which says in its issue of October
II: I'm the face of reciprocity treaty
now in operation with Brazil, it will
surprise most people to learn that ex-
ports of cotton cloth to that country
have fallen off nearly fifty per cent in
value" And the reduction on -four in
Cuba is not yet in effect, while not a
pound of pork has yet been exported TO
GEL many under the new inspection
laws. But the letter will serve its
main object, which undoubtedly was to
show that Mr.. Blaine does not propose
to let the president steal his reciproc-
ity thunder, and that he by no means
wishes to be considered as a ''neglectA-
BILE quantity" politically. But what a
strange state of things it is which
makes it necessary for him to go into

OF late years scarlet clover has be-

of Delaware, and there are now per-

piled are principally three. First and
most important as fertilizer, espe-

On such land, when accompanied with
small application of superphosphate
of lime, it will make fair growth.
When in full bloom it should be
plowed under and the ground titled in
any crop desired. But the most popu-
lar use made of it as fertilizer is in
our peach orchards AS soon as the
fruit is gathered the orchards are pre-
pared for the clover seed by blowing,
narrowing and rolling. The seed is
then sown broadcast and brushed or
rolled in. By brushing is meant the
