a mixture containing four pounds of
copper sulphate, four pound of fresh
lime and one-fourth pint of Lepage's
liquid glue to each 25 gallons of water.
This has so far given very good results,
outlasting several heavy washings. l
have also experimental with mixture
containing, instead of glue, one-half
pound of hard soap to the 25 gallons of
mixture The lime decomposes the
soap, forming an insOluble lime soap
which causes the copper to adere well
to the foliage. But the lime, trouble
some to spray in any case, forms clots
with the soap which are very difficult
to get through the nozzle. The glue is
therefore preferable The Burgundy
mixture, consisting of A pounds cop
per sulphate, 5.5 pounds soda carbon
ate, one-half pound hard soap to each
263 gallons of water, has in Germany
given better sesults against Peronospora
of the vine and potato blight than the
Bordeaux has. This mixture adheres
extremely well to the foliage. The
ammoniacal carbonate of copper ad-
heres better, is easiest to prepare and
apply, and contains less copper than
any other efficient fungicide. The
great advantage of the Bordeaux mix
ture is that with it Paris green or Lon
don purple may be used, thus form
ing a a compound insecto-fungicide.
Arsentites cannot safely be used with
any mixture or solution containing
soda carbonate or ammonia, for these
substances dissolve the arsenic which
then scorches the foliage
When the ammoniacal copper car
Donate solution is wanted, it will be
more convenient to use the dry am
monia carbonate instead of the liquid
ammonia. Gerald lfcCarthy

Mr.. EDITOR Let us stop, inquire
and reason together, soberly and in
tellectually, the cause that we find men
as they are at this time, OF we are a
fallen race. We find our pathway
more cloudy. We say that man is a
fallen creature, and did not come as he
now is from the pure hand. When we
| said man was not wicked, but clever
| that a majority were not depraved, it
seemed to sound sweetly, and harmon
ize with all our companions, when not
disputing on things that were agree
able. It was 50 with Potter, while
moulding the clay SO long as it was ply
able. We see letters denouncing Col
Polk, and that class, for opinions,
writing letters, &c. We heard a man
on our church yard denouncing the
Alliance the only man. He spoke of
them as a class of politicians He
pronounced them utterly destitute of
principle. He declared them dishonest
in everything. Becoming excited,
would mingle curses with his express
sions of contempt; their zeal he called
either fanaticism or hypocracy, often
both. Such epithets could do no harm,
because they show the malice and
spleen Of the party or parties, who
utter them. They are to be pitied for
nervous weakness and for the want of
proper information. The third party
makes them tired No wonder. There
is one thing do know, and that is, she
is well developed, strong and robust,
and that the sectional clogs, with every
other impediment, will be removed.
The women, God bless them forever,
with the men shoulder to shoulder,
will shoulder a hand stick, and with
one long pull, and pull altogether,
will move them without much
trouble. The very impediment that
has been impossible for the old parties
to handle for twenty-five years,
and will continue until time shall be
no more under sectional lines. The
reason caused by the war between the
States. A solid South and solid
North, what a spectacle! One pulling
one way and the other another Under
such circumstances reason teaches us
these logs will never be removed.
Now I ask every intelligent being on
this continent: Is it not practical sense
to compromise, to say the least of it?
One cannot and the other will not.
You see we have all been like the dog
in the manger. So if that feeling has
been removed for more charitable
blessings, we are bound to admit in
this court of justice, that the country
has been wonderfully blessed, and that
prosperity will dawn upon us in the
near future.
In conclusion, we say to the Ohio
boys, beat John Sherman; let him 60
like Ingalls,. You have nothing to
lose, but everything to gain. No man
can make a million of dollars in so
short a lifetime, legitimately.
Respectfully,

SPRAYING-ITS VALUE AND
DANGER.

Mr.. EDITOR Whether the climate
of the northern temperate zone
is becoming less favorable to the
existence of the higher orders of
plants, or, whether because of the
perfection of modern means of com
munication between different zones
and climes, the lower and parasitic
forms of vegetation peculiar to differ
ent zones, have become cosmopolitan
certain it is that our important cult
waited plants are more affected by dis
ease producing fungus parasites than
formerly. It cannot be said that the
vast number of known parasites is due
to a more careful study Of these organ
isms, whereby many formerly over
looked species have been brought to
view The time was even within our
own memories, when the loss of a crop
of any kind from fungous disease was
almost or wholly unknown.
Fortunately for man, whose welfare
is so closely bound up with that of the
GrdminUnceB SoIanaceR, RO8aceCe and
Vitdce9, the perfection of artificial
methods for combating the pests have
fairly kept pace with the increased
virulence Of the pests themselves. In
this warfare the salts of copper occupy
the place Of honor. The philosophy
of spraying against noxious fungi de-
pendS upon the destructive power of
these salts upon absorptive vegetable
tissue-not the tissues of parasitic
plants merely, but Of oil plants. The
organisms which produce the rots,
rusts, mildew and blight Of our crops
are themselves plants-members of a
very low order of the vegetable king
dom. They lack the green coIoring
matter OF the higher order of plants
chIOrOphyJ-by means of which the
nobler plants are able to feed upon the
gases of the air and the minerals the
soil. Lacking chlorophyI, these fungi
like certain classes among ourselves,
toll not, neither do they spin.-yet
manage to thrive and impose them
selves upon their nobler kindred. The
copper salts, diluted as they are used
Tor fungicides, are injurious only to
absorptive tissues. The foliage and
aerial parts of the cultivated plants do
not absorb anything but gaseous car
bonlc acid and they are therefore unin-
Jured by the copper. The larger part
of the parasitic tissue is covered and
protected by the epidermis of its host
and cannot be reached by the poison.
1t is apparent then that it is impossible
to exterminate the fungus preying
upon any plant or part of a plant with
out at the same time destroying the
host plant itself. The copper acts
beneficially only by DESTROYING the

He was actively interested in the agricul-

and liberal,supporter of the Congregational

purposes and charitable objects.

three sons and two daughters, all of whom
survive. The oldest son, George G., is
in business in Minneapolis, Minn. On the
other son, Edward c., the burden of his
fathers duties as railroad manager have
fallen AS the vice president and general
manager of the Central Vermont company.
Whatever may be the individual estimate
of Gov. Smiths career as a railroad mana
ger, or of his supposed influence upon the
politics of the state, it will be unhesitatingy
admitted by all that he has filled dis
tinguished place in the states history and
that in his death Vermont loses one of her
strongest men, and one who enjoyed in a
remarkable degree the love and esteem of
those who were brought into intimate as
sociation with him. In the war time his
tory of Vermont he stands ont strong,
active, self-reliant figure. In the manage
ment OF the great railroad interests that
came under his hand he showed wonderful
ability as an organizer and as far-sghted
leye-headed director of men and of affairs.
The most affable and courteous of men, he
was as readily approached by the humblest
employe on his lines, as by those high in
authority. His power over men and the
effect upon them of contact with his own
personality was remarkable and often was
amusing. Many a time has some patron
OF the road or some agent or officer of
rival company gone to Gov. Smith boiling
with indignation over some supposed
wrong or grievance, only to come away
sOOthed and Modified. forgetting almost
what his grievance had been, and thinking
could thus control other men.
The funeral of Gov. Smith took place at
St. Albans on Tuesday and was attended
by one of the largest gatherings of people
ever seen in Vermont ON such an occasion.
Distinguished men in large numbers were
present from every part of the state, and
from other states. Almost the whole viii
lage of st. Adams was heavily draped in
mourning The funeral was held in the
Congregational church where Gov. Smith
wOrshiped from childhood, and of which
his young son-in-law is the pastor. The
services were brief and simple, the address
being made by President NJ II. Buckham
of the University of Vermont. The pro-
cession which followed the body to the
grave numbered nearly 1000 persons, $50
of whom were railroad employees. The
pail bearers were Senator Proctor, Gov.
Page, Hon. James X. Langdon, first vice
president of the Central Vermont company,
and Hon. Joseph d. Hatch of Burlington.

The attempt of certain members of the
Republican state committee to run the
business of the Republican newspapers of
Vermont has not proved an unqualified
success So far as our observation has ex-
tended only one paper has announced its
intention to contribute the 25-cent black
mail demanded, while almost without ex-
ception the leading papers have promptly
and decisively stepped on the barefaced
scheme. In this list are papers like the
Rutland Herald, Bennington Banner Mid
dlebury Register, st. Johnsbury Caledon-
ian. Windsor Journal, Bellows Falls Times.
and several others. The growth in indie
pcndence thus shown is decidedly refresh

Caledonian stood almost alone in outspok-
en- opposition to the proposed eXtOrtion.

will be almost unit in refusing to submit

The British convict settlement on the
Andaman islands in the Bay of Bengal has
been visited by cyclone, and the govern

convicts were conveyed was driven upon
the rocks and destroyed Out of her crew
of s. men only six were saved. 1t is esti-
mated that $50 lives were lost on the differ
ent islands and there was great destruction
of property.
The grand jury of Suffolk county, Mas
sachusetts, have found an indictment
against the supreme officers of the Royal
Ark endowment order, charging them with
embeZzlement of funds. Receiver Wyman
finds a remarkable state of affairs. The
officers received salaries ranging from $4,000,
drawn by Secretary Powers, TO $500 paid
certain subordinates. In addition to this
the officers have received, according to the
books, from $50, 900 to $4,000 within a
year.

The DownfaIl of the Alliance.

We have given elsewhere the New York
Tribune's careful and intelligent summary
of the actual results OF last weeks cleo
tions. An additional word should be said
in regard to the complete collapse of the
Farmers Alliance movement, which sprang
up like a mushroom year ago and had
its little day as a conquering giant In the
three states of Kansas, Nebraska and
South Dakota, where it especially throve
in 1880, the elections held last week show
that the Alliance has been practically
wiped ont as political force. In Kansas,
the birthplace and hOtbed of the move
ment, which was swept by il like whirl-
wind year ago, county elections were held
last week, and four-fifths of the officers
chosen are Republican or anti Alliance
men. Nebraska, where the Alliance made
clean sweep last year, elected Republi-
can judge of the supreme court. although
the Democratic nominee to that office
withdrew in favor of the Alliance candi-
date.
With that organization ont of the way
politically, the thousands of Republicans
who have wasted their votes on Peoples
party tickets will naturally return to the
party representing most nearly their polit-
ical convictions, and this gives reason to
believe that no state in the West. except
ing, perhaps, Indiana and Montana, can be
accounted doubtful in next years presden-
tial canvass. 'The prediction that one year
of abundant crops would put an end to the
Alliance craze has been abundantly veri-
fled

The lesson of the hour is plain. 1t is
that on national issues the great masses of
Republicans are as loyal and enthusiastic
as ever. Appeals to Republicans to sup
port honest money and protection to Amer
lean industry meet with unanimous and
magnificent response. Major McKinley's
majority in Ohio, the one state where ma
tional issues were kept at the front, en-
forces the truth that the cardinal principles
of Republicanism never were held more
firmly by Republicans than now.
