A PEUULIAR SITUATION.

The Seeley- Greenwood contest still
drags its slow length along. Further
action was postponed yesterday in Or
der to secure, If possible the presence
of Mr.. Seeley. The case seems to have
provoked some strong feelings on the
part Of those who resist Mr.. Green
woods side of the contest. That will
not help the matter in any way nor
impart any light on the question in
VOWED.
The Herald has stated the status of
the case and taken the position that if
Mr.. Seeleys resignation was not COM
pIete on the 18th of November, he was
ineligible under the Organic Act to be
elected to the Legislative Assembly;
and that Mr.. Greenwood, as the per-
who being eligible, appears to have
been elected, should receive the
certificate Should either of these pro-
positions be rejected by the Utah COM
mission, which is peculiarly consti-
tuted, the case will not be improved by
any ill-feeling or misrepresentation.
We regard this case as something en-
tireiy out of the ordinary run of con-
tested elections. Therefore the pre-
cedents that may be cited do not have
a direct bearing upon it. There is no
similarity between it and the Cannon
Campbell case. The laws relating to
the two cases are entirely different.
The powers Of the respective canvass
ing boards are not the same. The Ian
guage Of the statutes in relation to the
contesting parties varies materially.
The question of eligibility need not
be further discussed The main points
are the powers of the Utah Commits
sion in the premises, and the right of
the contestant to receive the certifi-
cate in case his opponent is ineligible
The purpose in view in the passage
of the. Edmunds act, from which the
Utah Commission derive their powers,
was to prevent polygamists in Utah
hold Office. And as to the Legislative
Assembly, it was specially intended to
debar such persons from taking part
in the framing of the territorial laws.
Therefore. in addition to the provi-
sions directly disQualifying them, the
Utah Commission were authorized and
required to personally canvass the re-
turns Of the election Of members of the
Legislative Assembly, and to tissue GER
tifcates of election TO those persons
who being eligible for such election
shall appear to have been lawfully
elected. which certificates shall be the
only evidence of the right of such
persons to sit in such assembly,
Now suppose an election was held
in which number of persons ineligi-
bic under these provisions, received the
highest nxmber of votes. When the
Utah Commission came to canvass the
returns and the inelgibility Of those
candidates was made to appear, is it not
clear. from the specific language and
peculiar provisions Of the law, that
they would have to give the certificates
to the persons who being eligible were
lawfully elected; to wit, the persons
not disqualified who received the high
est number of votes for lawful can
dioate?
Examine the whole law. compare
part with part and see If that was not

How Wanton Foolishness Harms
Republicanism.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch, Republican.
There are many Republicans of influence
who are TOO sensible and far sighted to try to
turn the present business troubles into party
capital Mr.. W. A. Connor, of New York,
recently withdrew from a Republican club
because it adopted resolutions holding up the
monetary complications as the result fDemo-
cratic supremacy, stating that he would not
be partner in seeking to ALLEVIATE Republi-
cans from the support of the public credit.
He might also have added that such
course will equally ALLEVIATE public support
from the Republican party. A political or
ganization which shows desire to secure
party advantage from public misfortunes, and
TO exaggerate the misfortunes in order to in
crease the party gain, will injure itself in the
public estimation a good deal more than it
gains thereby. There is probably a percep-
lion of this fact in Senator Quay's wise and
frank declaration that he regards the business
situation as entirely above politics, and that
he stands ready TO support the administration
in all measures for the maintenance of the
public credit and the restoration of business
confidence.
Indeed, the foolish tactics of this outcry
are shown by the response which il has ELECTED
from Elk Secretary Whitney. The situation
gave the Republican minority an opportunity
to ally itself with the conservative Democrats
not only for safe monetary legislation but
for careful tariff action. To throw away such
AN opportunity and to indulge in silly partisan.
ship with the result of preeipitating the tariff
war in its most violent form, and even of
putting so conservative Democrat as Mr..
Whitney among the extremists, is worse than
stupidity. 1t is such wanton foolishness as
this that has done more to injure the Repub-
licau party during the past few years than the
worst efforts Of opponents.

A senseless Agitation.

From the Baltimore Sun.
The Sunday opening muddle of the World S
Fair has eliminated in the imposition of
heavy fines upon a number of the directors
for closing the gates on Sunday, July %.
Five of the directors were fined 81 900 each
for contempt of court in not obeying the
Injunction of the State court to keep the
gates open. Smaller fines were imposed upon
others. From first to last there has been
confusion in this whole matter. Congress
went out of the way to impose Sunday clos
ing as a condition to the appropriation. 1t
was a matter with which it was net at all
necessary Congress should concern itself,
and that there was more or less 'sbuncombe"
in il no one doubted. When the managers
of the fair accepted the appropriation it was
suspected they did so with the expectation of
being able to avoid the condition. Then the
United States court decided that the gates
must be closed on Sunday and an Illinois
State court ordered them to be opened on
Sunday. An appeal was taken from the de-
cision of the federal court and it was reversed.
In the meantime, the fair gates had been
closed for a number of Sundays and they
were besieged by mighty mob demanding
admission and threatening to enter by force.
The gates were finally opened, but large
portion of the exhibits were concealed from
view end the machinery was not running.
People declined to pay full rates, and the at
tendance was so small that it brought the
management in debt to keep the fair open,
and so on Sunday, July %, it was closed.
For closing it that day in violation of tine or
der of court these heavy fines were imposed.
An appeal. however, will be taken.

Road Building.
From the Baltimore Herald.

The Atlanta Constitution recently pub
lished an article descriptive Of the manner
in which road building has been carried
ON in that state. 1t is particularly inter
esting to Marylanders because the condi-
ton existing in the two commonwealth
are quite similar Road improvement is
undertaken in Georgia by the coun'y gov
ernments, and that is the natural way for
it to be undertaken in Maryland The
labor is performed in Georgia by convicts,
and the system used is what is known as
the macadam road, the species Of highway
best adapted to Maryland and as readily
constructed by free labor as by the chain
gang.
Road improvement in Georgia has
reached its highest development in Floyd
county. The work was begun about 10
wears ago and has been prosecuted persist
emily ever since. The county authorities
worked on the principle that road building
should be permanent, and should be ex-
tended only as funds were available there
for. Accordingly small tax was assessed
for road purposes, yielding few thousand
dollars annually. Machinery was pur-
chased, plan of laying out and improving
the highways was carefully developed BY
the assistance Of engineers, and few
miles of first-class road were constructed.
The plan hit upon was to improve the
main roads leading out of Rome, the coun-
ty-seat During the past nine years fifty
miles of permanent macadam road have
been built, and several miles are added
each year as money and men are available.
The work has been done economically, and
the slight burden of taxation creates no
complaint in Floyd county.
There is an important lesson in this for
the Maryland counties. They are all in
the position of Floyd county as to the ne
cessity and means of road improvement.
The county-seat is the proper place to be-
gin, the macadam road is what is needed,
and whether convict labor is employed or
not, the plan of doing a lille 'oeH is I'M
questionabIy the proper course to pursue.

Wool Lower Than Ever.


The Mckinley tariff greatly increased the
tariff tax on foreign wool imported by our
manufacturers to mix with home grown wool
because some Ohio Republicans demanded
an increase, but the result has been disastrous
for the farmer. American wool is lower
now than for many years, because manufac.
lures are obsiructed in buying foreign wool to
mix with it, and they can't use il much alone.
Ohio fleeces sell now at from % to 30 cents
u pound, the lowest price on the record so
far as we have it. They are lower by "a
cents a pound than they were during the al
legged free trade period between 1857 and 1861.
In 1865 this wool sold at 65 cents, in 1915 at
so cents. in 1882 at 81 cents. and now that the
highest duty is on, the bottom price of %
cents is reached. The farmer is evidently
mot in il. The Mckinley tariff on wool is
mere folly 1t makes good cloth dear and
Doesn't raise the price Of our wool.

How to Plant Potatoes.

A Burlington county. n. j., farmer,
who prides himself on the yield of his
potato patch, says he was taught how to do
it by young 1rishman, taken 10 his farm
direct from Castle Garden. His soil is a
moist, sandy loam The ground selected
is first spread with manure, then ploughed
and made into beds with trenchcs between.
The seed potatoes are cut 70 three-eye
pieces, and planted one piece to the place
by sticking the spade into the earth TO
about six inches, then drawing the handle
forward, when the potato is dropped into
the hole made between the earth and spade;
the next spade thrust meeting the last one,
the seeds are about eight inches apart.
When the plants are few inches high
another dressing Of manure is given, this
being covered with earth taken from the
trenches between. There is no hoeing,
but several times through a season the
earth is shovelled from the trench to the
vines. The yield with this plan of pro-
cedure is said to be larger and the tuber
in every way better than from the same
seed in the same soil under ordinary
methods.

why it is .Timothxn Grass.

The hay grass known tous as timothy
Is the ''herd" grass of Europe aud Western
Asia. 1t grows wild throughout all the
vast region between the Mediterranean
Sea on the south, and the North Sea in the
direction the name implies. 1t is not
known exactly when it was first introduced
into the United States, but this much is
certain 1t takes its name from one Tim
othy Hanson, farmer of Maryland, who
brought it into general notice as a hay
grass, after having having cultivated it
extensively for his own use for years. Its
botanical name is phleum pretense. 1t is
a curious fact that, although its native
home is Europe, the United States is the
first country in which it was grown, cut
and cured for hay. Not longer ago than
1875, some timothy heads, and blades
were taken to England and exhibited as
curiosities.

How to Have a Pleasant Visit.
From Good Housekeeping.

From Good Housekeeping.
Avoid controversy and argument.
Do not monopolize any good thing.
Do not overdo the matter of entertain
ment.
Do not make hobby of personal mfr
mites.
Go directly when the call or the visit is
ended
Do not forget bathing facilities for the
traveller.
"Make yourself at home" but not too
much so.
In ministering to the guest do not ne
glect the family.
Conform to the customs of the house,
especially as to meals.
Let no member of the family iutrude in
the guest chamber.
Do not make unnecessary work for
others, even servants.
Be courteous, but not to the extent of
surrendering principles.
Do not gossip; there are better things in
life to talk about.
When several guests are present, give
share of attention to all.
Introduce games and diversions, but
only such as will be agreeable.
Better simple food with pleasure than
luxuries with annoyance and worry.
Have a comfortable room in readiness
adapted TO the needs and tastes of the
guest.
A guest need not accept every proposed
entertainment; he should be considerate of
himself and of his host
Learn the likes and dislikes of those
who are to be entertained, but not through
the medium Of an imperative catechism.

Advantage of Good Roads.

The country without roads will remain
undeveloped, its hidden treasures stored
away.
Where poor roads prevail everything
else is very apt to be poor, the horse, far
mer and merchant.
If two horses haul the load of four, one
wagon haul the load of two, one set of har
ness haul the load of two, one driver serve
for two and six miles instead of three be
made per hour, the aggregate saving would
double the net income Of the average far
mer. This desideratum can only be ac-
complished by the means of good public
roads.
The effect good public roads upon land
value is TO increase the value of such land.
Experience has shown that the value of
ground is in direct ratio to the good condi-
ton of the street or roads which traverse
them.
A road system is the means Of facilitat-
ing intercourse.
Intercommunication is the backbone Of
business. Good public roads are the pri-
mary necessities of civilized life and ma
tional prosperity.
