CELERY blight is due to fungus
growth. and the best remedy is an am
moniacal solution of copper sprayed on
the plants frequently.
Such weeds as purslaine, pigweed,
ragweed. etc, are serviceable. Throw
them into the pig-pen. Waste nothing
that can be made serviceable.
Do NOT use the hoe among the melons
except in front of the vine, but pull the
weeds out by hand. as disturbing the
vines after they begin to run may
prove injurious.
PROF. GoFF's experiments through
Six seasons with seed from ripe and
unripe tomatoes seem to prove that inn
mature seed reduces the size of the
plant, but increases its fruitfulness.
IT has been suggested that an excel
lent mode of exterminating such weeds
as dandelions, dock and even thistles
from a lawn is to offer a bounty to the
younger members of the family for
every weed secured.

West Virginia for him is moonshine, but
even if it were not there is not Il safe

Kansas. Many democrats believe that
Ohio will go democratic this year. We
believe, however. that it wi l not. We
believe that Ohio. California. Oregon,
Maine and Vermont are still safely re-

narily Pennsylvania may be added to
the list but there is no means of tell

is little doubt that there is now in the

demniDE Document.
Tie efforts of the republicans to
jodrc the force bill issue will not
avail They lay much stress upon the
fact that the force bill is not mentioned
by name in their national platform.
Party organs are urging the president
to ignore it in his letter of acceptance.
In this way they hope to avoid the
force of the Endorsement which they
have given the measure.
The Courier-Journal quotes from the
republican platform of 1890 declara-
tiors virtually in favor of the force
bill. and the emphatic assertion that
..the party will never relax it's efforts
until the so-calIed integrity of the
ballot is secured What THIS in

native or fereign born, white or black,
to cast one free ballot in the public
elections and to have that ballot duly
counted" Notice that the language in
the two platforms is essentially
and almost literally the same The
language reeeised an authoritative con-
strnction during the debate on the
force hill. when it was urged that the
republicans were solemnly pledged in
their platform to airport the measure.
As we have to deal with very slippery
customers. we may as well clinch this
statement On the day when the force

the army and navy at the polls was I'M

it had been charged that the bill was

republican platform OF 1883 whh refer

or, we meant that then; and now. with
the opportunity and privilege given MS
we ought to meet it, and meet it mar

was not in vain. Mr.. Hemphills amend

ment WIS voted down. ana the repu b.
hcans went on record as favoring the
use OF the army and navy at the polls
to control elections in their interest.
Those who remember such chapters
OF recent history as this need not pro-
fess surprise that the same plank in
1892 should be teirreted as demand
for force bill. 1t has always been
the policy of the republican party, be-
fore elections, to disguise its conspira-
cies against liberty in general and gen
tie language. But this language has
been fully explained. Itmeant i force
bill in 1883, and it means the same thing
in 1892.
1t was not merely in congress that
this construction of the republican
platform was adopted In the repub-
lican state conventions of 1890 resolu-
tons indorsing the bill were passed.
The republican convention of Massa-
chusetts declared that the pledges of
the platform in national conventions
and in many state conventions with
reference to the suppression of suffrage
made it the imperative duty of every
republican senator and representative
to labor increasingly to place the
measure known as the federal election
bill or some other equally effective
law on the statute book of the nation.
Resolutions indorsing the bill were
also passed by republican state conven-
tions in Alabama, Arizona. Arkansas,
Connecticut, Illinois, Michigan, Mis-
| souri,, New Hampshire, New York,
North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio,
Rhode Island. South Carolina, South
Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont and prob
ably other states The party is thor
oughly committed to the measure. and
cannot change the record now.-Loais.
