BUT besides this, no seeds would be
planted at such institutions Cf properly
conducted) that were not first carefully
examined for the detection of admix-
ture with other varieties, or species;
and especially for the dangerous con-
tamination with the seeds of weeds.
Our own experience has repeatedly
shown the importance of such super
vision. New weeds are being intro
duced all over the country by these
political seed distributions. Many of
them are of the vilest character, impos-
sible to exterminate when once they
get foothold, and the damage already
done by them far exceeds the good de-
rived. 1t may be said with truth that
absolutely no care has been taken,
unless very recently, to prevent such
consequences. Probably nothing can
be effectually done in this respect IN
der the present methods; but if the
work were confided to the agricultural
colleges, properly manned and super
vised, not only would the seeds sent
out be of value in themselves to those
who got them, but they would be free
from the danger of introducing plants
that must be and remain curse far
exceeding any advantage to be gained.
In all this we must not be under
stood as criticising the head of the Ag-
ricultural Department, or any of his
staff. The department has greatly i'm
proved under Secretary Rusk, whom we
regard as eminently qualified for his
position. He is supported by an able
and jealous staff of assistants, earnest
to do as good work as possible for the
country. In their positions we are not
to expect from men any criticism of
political superiors; but we do not be-
lieve that anything but satisfaction
would be found amongst them, were
the reforms we have suggested carried
out in full. They must, for their own
credit, be supposed anxious for the op-
portunity to do good and effective work,
beneficial to every part of our broad
continent. They are doing much of
that now; but by being brought into
intimate official relations with the ag-
ricultural colleges in every state, they
would not only be able to do much
more and better work at reduced cost
to the people, but they would benefit
the colleges still more, and bring the
whole system of governmental relations
with the farming interest into line in a
way to eXalt the importance and aug
ment the influence of the department
beyond any present adequate concep-
ton.
w. II. VINToN of Gray, Maine, is
quoted as saying: "The old idea of
cows requiring exercise is played out.
The only exercise the COW needs is to
chew her cud, and she will lie down to
this every time whenever she has OPP
portunity." We believe that those
who have this idea, and live to test it
for two or three generations of cattle,
will change their notion. Even in the
second generation of cows so handled a
decline is often manifest. 1t affects

The Nebraska Case.

In 1890, Boyd, Democratic nominee
ior governor, carried the Republican
state OF Nebraska by a plurality OF l,144
ina total vote OF 2l4,O90. The year be-
fore Harrison carried the state by 81, S73.
Local issues gave the governorship to
the Democrats.
Governor Thayer refused to give up
the seat to Boyd on the ground that he
was not q citizen Of tho United States
and was therefore Ineligible. The
supreme court Of the United States now
holds that Boyd is q citizen, whence 1t
seems to follow that he is entitled to
his seat, although on this point the
court is not unanimous. Mr.. Justice
Field, Democrat, dissents entirely from
tho decision.
The voice OF the people was for Boyd,
and since he is eligible every citizen
who believes in the rule OF the majority
will BIO glad to see him got his scat.

A Grcat Preacher Conc,

The death OF Mr.. Spurgeon takes from
tho world one Of its strongest English
speaking preachers, certainly the strong.
est in Great Britain. Sturgeon was a
phenomenon. Before ho was OF age he
had achieved some fame rs n popular
preacher. On this foundation he built
continually and securely. Every year
added TO his strength with the people.
His style was simple, direct, f~orceful.
Though OF the Baptist communion his
preaching was as broad as his sympa.
thics. Few men OF the time have been
able to draw such congregations as he
addressed, and to listen to this great
preacher was to be moved by his per-
suasive eloQuence. His death is a very
great loss to the world.

Never Mind the Facts.

A London dispatch to the New York
Herald says: "The tone OF the press
naturally has been bitter and carping
against the United States. No matter
what the facts OF the case may be, the
English press feels in duty bound to
attack the United States merely for tho
purpose OF weakening American intlu-
ence in the southern republics and to
strengthen British interests"
OF course. The facts are mot in it."
American interests must be weakened
everywhere, and to the British mind
the manner OF doing it, fair or foul,
makes no difference. Isn't it strange
tina: in all such efforts our British
friends find willing American co-opera-
ton?

West Virginia it seems that tho com.
mittcc Of Council Is not ready 10 act.
At all events there was no quorum last
night.
II tho case is as tho company states
it-about which the committee has had
time to satisfy i,sclf-it would seem
good policy to relieve tho company OF
Its obligation to furnish FREQ gas to the
city's public works.
II there is not enough gas for those
works and for private consrmors, and II
tho company must continue TO supply
tho city, private consumers will be
driven to resume tho use OF coal.
It is plain that II tho consumers OF
natural gas desired to use coal thev
would voluntarily drop gas and go back
10 coal. It Is much better for Wheeling
that private consumers shall continue
to have the gas.

Free Trade and the British Colonies

Free Trade and the British Colonies.
Not only does Great Britain stand
alone as tho champion among the ma
tons OF the policy Of free trade which
was to captlyate and subjugate tho
world, but she has no longer q colony
that follows her example.
Why her colonies are not with her on
this vital question is SO fully and SO
clearly set forth in an editorial article
in the Adelaide Advertiser that the whole
article is reproduced in to-day's INTEL
LIGEScER. This ablo exposition OF tho
question from the colonial point OF view
is commended to the thoughtful con
sideration Of our Democratic friends.
Tho Australian complaint is that
under the English policy the colonies
are cut out OF the fair share OF the for
cign trade which might be secured for
them by reciprocity treaties such as We
are making; that the free trade policy
adopted because England could not
feed her people should not DO applied
to the colonies when England is making
commercial treaties with other nations;
that whatever policy England may
pursue at home, she cannot fasten this
on Australia without placing in peril
the integrity of the British empire.
England is told in plain terms that
her colonies do not believe in Tree trade
and will not submit to be included in
any lump-iob contracts she. may mako
with other countries. The policy which
these British colonies reject with indig-
nation is the policy which the British
party in the United States would fastcn
on this country.
