SPEECH OF CROMWELL
Delivered by Hin When He Dissolved the Cor
rupi British Parliament
NE DECLARED THEM a FscrlOus CREW.
sordid Prostitutes Whs Would, Like EAU. Sell
Their County for Rsss Of POtiass; Like
Judas. Sell Their esd Tor hsnsy

The speech with which Oliver
Cromwell turned parliament out OF
doors in 1858 has come to light
through the researches of DR.. Wolf
gang Michael. 1t was this:
1T is high time for me to put an
end to your sitting in this place.
which We have dishonored by your
contempt of all virtue, and deiled
by your practice OF every vice.
Eye are factious crew, and enc
mics to all good government. Ye are
a pack of mercenary wretches, and
would. like Esau, sell your country
for a mess of pottage, and, like Judas,
betray your God for few pieces OF
money. Is there a single virtue now
remaining among you? Is there one
vice We do not possess? Ye have no
more religion than my horse. Gold
is your god.
(which of you have not barterered
away your consciences tor brides?
lis there a man among you that
hath the least care for the good Of
the commonwealth
Eye sordid prostitutes! have We not
defiled this sacred place. and turned
the Lords temple into a den of
thieves? By your immoral principles
and wicked practices We are grown
intolerably odious to the whole ma
ton. You, who were deputed here
by the people to get their grievances
redressed, are yourselves become
their greatest grievance. Your coun-
try, therefore. calls upon me to
cleanse this Augean stable by put
ting a final period to your iniquitous
proceedings in this house. and which,
by Gods help aud the strength he
hath given me, am now come to do.
Il command you, therefore, upon
the peril of your lives, to depart i'm
mediately out OF this place.
go! Get you out
Make haste!
"Ye venal slaves. begone.
So Take away that shining bau-
BILE there. and lock up the door"
With a few honorable exceptions,
our national congress has for the last
quarter of a century or more has been
but a reflex of their ancestral proto-
type, the British parliament of 1863
"a factious crew, and enemies TO all
good government.
Gold is their god, and who Of them
have not bartered away their con-
sciences for bribes?n
How many OF them have had 1.-The
least care for the good OF the common
Wealth.
Excepting among their own caste.
'by their immoral principles and
practices they are grown intolerably
odious to the whole nation" They,
'.wbo are deputed there by the .peO-
pie to get their grievances redressed,
a:e themselves become their greatest
grievance.
Who, and where is the Cromwell of
these modern times who our boosted
free country will call upon Ito
cleanse this Augean stable by putting
a final period to their Ubiquitous pro-
ceedings,' and, under a new dispen-
sation, usher in a season of immunity
from legalized spoil and consequent
prosperity? Oh, what lessons of warn
ing a retrospective study of the past
furnishes Are they profitless?
VIII the American people still slum-
Der in Indifference? or will they by
their ballots at last issue the mandate
of an Oliver Cromwell. and say: go,
Get you out Make bastel Ye venal
slaves, begone?"

AHnrr.,t OF Clover ss.d.

One should make 1t a poll y to
gather some clover seed every year,
and then SOW it on the ground the
nex5 season. Most OF the seed is
taken up with the hay. and the soil
is robbed Of it. Now this seed is not
OF much value to the animals as food,
nor Of much account as a fertilizer.
But it costs considerable money when
it has to be purchased in the market
There is no robbing the soil, but it
is rather returning it to the soil. If
one had the clover seed on hand he
would De more apt TO SOW some ev-
cry year than If he had to buy it,
and every farmer should plant clover
seed every year.
A heavy crop of clover seed can be
gathered in the fall very easily and
at not much loss to the land. says
tine American Cultivator Cut the
ripe clover with the moving machine
and rake up in windows Handle it
carefully if very ripe but if little
green let it dry a little before it is
cooked up. Let the hay sweat in the
cocks, and then draw it 30 the barn.
II 1t is to be threshed by hand let
the plants get thoroughly dry in the
open air until the grass seems almost
rotten. but if a threshing machine is
handy it can be taken in at once and
put through it. Sometimes it is
necessary to put the clover on a
scaffold where it viii dry out easier
than in a bunch,
Clever threshers go from farm to
farm in sections where a great deal
of clover is grown. and they thresh
out the seed for them at so much per
load. But farmers who do not raise
It for market can do the work them
selves The seed should be threshed
in the winter when the clover is
thoroughly dried. 1t can be threshed
out fairly well on the barn floor with
a fail. OF course all OF it will not be
obtained, ard a great deal of it will
be very dirty, but one can get good
percentage of it If put through
the thresher, better results will be
obtained.
The average is two to five bushels
to the acre This means that we get
this amount of clover seed from the
second crop, for the first crop is har-
vested in June. The only expense
Of getting the seed is the time and
labor expended upon it. and tho
amount OF damage that may be done
to the land.
The question is. will it exhaust the
lands 1t will not We take COM
paratiyely little from the field in the
second crop. 1t is not cut close,
and the roots and main part of the
stems are left in the soil The seeds
themselves are of little value to tho
soil. and the amount of plant food
taken away will be converted into
manure again The hay gathered in
this way is only good for bedding.
and is returned to the land in the
form OF excellent manure. 1t is even
a paying work 10 raise the clover seed
to sell, and buy fertili, ers with the
money. but it is E.uch better work
to raise the seed for another sowing.

The editor OF the Atlanta Constitu-

to his paper which, when boiled down,
according to the Atlanta Journal,
means:

following the bosses of the Republican

Emir is not properly title, but a
descriptive word Correctly used, it
is applied only to descendants of the
prophet, all OF whom are styled Emir,
just as the title honorable Is applied
TO the people OF a certain rank by
birth in England. Enirs are now
found among Turkish and Arab peo-
pie of every rank and class in life.
Every and who can prove his descent
from the prophet Is entitled to wear
green in some portion of his costume,
the turban being usually chosen for
this sign of rank. The claim to the
title is considered far more satisfac-
tory where traced back through the
female ancestry.
