WEDNESDAY, APRIL s.
SECOND ELECTION, APRIL 18TH.
FOR MAYOR,
JAMES p. BAXTER

Election takes place in Rhode Island
today for Governor, State officers and
two members of Congress. The Repub-
lican candidate for Governor is D. Rus
sell Brown, of Providence, and the
Democratic David S. Baker Jr., of North
Klngstown. The State is at the best
close, and the majority for either candi-
date will be small, if indeed there is a
majority, which is doubtful, as the Pro-
hibitionists have candidate in the field.
The two congressional seats involved
are now held by Democrats.

The first choice of the people of
Portland and of this part of the
state as well for supreme judge
to succeed the late Justice Vir-
gin was undoubtedly the Hon. Henry
G. Peabody. He had the unanimous
support of the Cumberland bar, his quail
fications were undoubted and there is no
doubt had he been selected he would
have made an admirable judge. But
while Portland's first choice was Judge
Peabody and his failure to receive the
appointment will excite keen regret here
it is but just to say that the Hon. An
drew P. Wiswell is a gentleman of the
highest character, thoroughly versed in
the law and will bring to the bench IN
doubted fitness and capacity.

Washington Notes.

Mr.. Harrison and his secretary of
state have had Il very serious disagree
ment, and nothing but the nearnesS of
Secretary Fosters resignation and de-
parture for Europe, where he goes rs
counsel for the United States before
the Behring sea arbitrators, has PRE-
vented an open row much more serious
than that which led TO the retirement
of Mr.. Blaine from the cabinet last sum
mer. The disagreement of the President
and his premier was over the policy
which this government should pursue
in South and Central America, con-
corning the efforts of various European
nations to acquire interests there. MI
Harrison believes in aggressive enforce
ment of the Monroe doctrine, while Mr..
Foster believes in to a certain extent
letting things alone, and he carried his
belief to such an extent as 10 actually
obstruct certain plans of Mr. HarrisOn's.
Then it was that he discovered that Mr.
Harrison WAS bossing the machine. 1t
is said to be a direct result of Mr.. iar-
rison's action that the republic of Col
umba has positively refused to renew
the French concession for the Panama
canal. which will shortly expire by
limitation.

KILLING Foxtai! Grass.

What are known as the Truckre
meadows in Nevada have been Il favor
lite feeding ground for stock ever since
the first emegrant trains from the east
crossed the plains forty years ago. The
natural grass was abundant and luNur-
liant, and a short stay in the meadows
suiliced to put the worst wornOut horses
and cattle in condition to undertake
the arduous and difficult passage of the
SIERRA Nevada mountains. From the
days of forty-nine,n down to the pres
ent time these meadows have main
tanned their reputation until the present
year. Now y sesais KAT the natural
nutritious grasses have been largely re.
placed by what is known as fOXtail, and
in consequence the feeding of cattle
thereon has proved disastrous.
Foxtail is grass which affords good
feed while in the leaf, but as soon as it
heads out, stock will lot touch it unless
compelled to by absence of other food.
The heads resemble harley very much,
and are covered with boards with saw
tooth edges, which are productive of
much pain and distrss when taken into
the stOmache.
The origin of the foItail is something
Of mystery. 1t grows on wOrnout
pastures or land that has been con-
stantly fed for many years, and is also
frequently present in alfalfa fields where
the stand is not heavy enough to pre-
vent the growth of other plants.
There is remtdy for this grass,
which is worth trying, and even If not
successful. will do no harm. In many
parts of California 1t is familiar fact
that the first breaking of wild land in
variably produces heavy growth of a
different nature from that obtained be-
fore blowing. Thus, in some localities
where bunch-grass is found, if the soil
is plowed but once and not seeded, Il
heavy growth of alfleria will follow.
Whether this would be the case on the
Truckee meadows or not can only be
determined by experiment. But it is
an experiment well worth trying, for
there is no better stock feed among the
natural grasses of the state than aliil-
eria. 1t is exceedingly nutritious
whether green or dry, and all kinds of
stock are very fond of it.
BY breaking the land while the fox
tail is young. whether aliileria succeeds
it or not, at all events the objectionable
grass will be prevented from going to

Bishop Earker Consccrated.

A St Paul, Mimi, dispa tch to the
Denver News If the 10Th says: Rev.
William Morris Barker, for four years
rector of st. Pulls church, Duluth, was
to-day cousecnted bishop of Western
Colorado at Duluth. Among the visit
ing bishops present were Rev. b. Wis
tar Morris, bishop of Oregon, Portland,
RI. Rev. John L. Spaldiug. bishop of
Colorado, Denver; Rt. Rev. T.. Nc
Lareu. bishop of Chicago. The cere-
mouy was grand, solemn aud beautiful,
lasting two and one half hours, Bishop
Gilbert of st. Paul preached the sermon
and was very effective. Almost the en-
tire audience was in tears rs he spoke
words of ad7lce, encouragement and
love to the new bishop. Bishop Barker
will preach his last sermon at Duluth
on Ash Wednesday, in the afternoon of
which day he will leave for Western
Colorado, his future home.

Episcopal Visitation.

THE HERALD is in receipt of the
following itinerary Of visitation by TIE
new bishop of Western Colorado, which.
however. is subject to such change as
the eXigencies of unforeseen events may
bring forth:

in Lent.

Aspen, Thursday, March 80.
Breckenridge, Tuesday, April i.

From the above it will be seen that
Bishop Barker considers the church at
Meeker of sufficient Importance to place
it at the head of his list, which assures
us that religious matters here will re-
ceiye much needed attention at the
hands of the new bishop before looking
after other charges in his diocese. The
people here should duly appreciate his
soicitmde on their behalf, and it is
hoped a warm reception will be ten
dered him.
