A A CONFERENCES.
Crisp and Carlisle Talk Over Rules
For the House.


For the House.
WASHINGTON. Aug. IL. - Speaker
Crisp and Secretary Carlisle, his Demo-
cratic predecessor in the speakership,
were in close consultation at Speaker
Crisp's apartments during the morn
ing. 1t was confined to the discussion
of the rules to be adopted for the gov
eminent of the house of representatives.
The conference was Of over two hours
duration and was q continuance of a
previous consultation On the same sub
ject. The administration, it Id said,
feels the necessity of The house framing
such rules as will permit speedy action
on the financial question.
The new sergeant-at-arms and secre-
tary of the senate, will install their
Democratic assistants on the 18th inst.
IL is curious how these subordinate POI
sitions in the senate are divided among
the several senators. "A certain num-
Der Of positions have been conceded to
the Republican members, as the Ia.
publicans conceded to the Dsmocrata
an equal number Of desirable places
when they werei in power. The Dsmo-
cratic employees hold over, as q raatter
or course. For the payment OF salaries
Of all employees or the senate q certain
amount Ia appropriated. This ID do.
Quoted from the aggregate o. Nh
salaries Of the Republican officials, and
then the aggregate OF the salaries of The
hold over Democrats. The remainder
Of the appropriation IL pro-rated among
the several Democratic senators. Each
Democrat has at his disposition one
position a~ggregating about %, 000, or II
he so desires he car gives to two Of
more of his constituents a salary moi
exceeding this sum in the aggregate.

Tomatoes For Home Use.

My method of raising tomatoes for
family use I have found quite successful.
The first requisite is good. strong, potted
plants, SO far advanced as to be ready to
blossom. Last year some of them at
planting time had fruit set. / have the
ground prepared beforehand, making the
hills about four feet apart and working
up the soil to the depth of eight inches
where the plants are to go. I find good
soil works as well for tomatoes as for
other crops. After the middle of May or
as soon as warm weather has fairly come
the plants are transferred from the pots,
the earth and roots adhering in such a
way that transplanting does not in the
least check their growth.
As Don as the young plants attain suf-
icient size to need it, strong stakes about
5 feet in length are driven in the ground.
to which they are tied. This was sug-
gested to me several years ago, and
find it very satisfactory. It keeps them
or the ground, thus preventing rotting,
and gives free scope to sunshine and air.
II the growth of the plants Ia too strong.
the ends are clipped of from time to
time, as well as s~uperiuous branches.

ring to give them the full benefit of the
sunshine ON all sides. The tomato is eni.

~ 0@&&k ~ say
AS soon as possible after the news OF
the Hawaiian revolution came to these
shores, followed by the appearance in the
United States senate by the treaty Of
annexation, there came to Washington
an agent OF the powerful Sugar trust.
He announced to close friends that the
defeat Of the treaty and the killing Of the
whole idea Of annexation was his pur-
pose, and he wished to know what was
the best way to proceed. The advice
was given. In addition the sugar agent
was told to do his own business in his
own way, and that he should do it ON the
merits of his cause in a business light.
In due time the annexation scheme was
>~furiously attacked in the senate. II was
not long thereafter when the Sugar trust
agent was able to say, a. he did to inside
friends, that the treaty was already dead;
that it no longer had the breath Of life in
ii.
Mr.. Cleveland was inaugurated.
Among his frst acts was to withdraw the
treaty. In due time followed the recent
blizzard In Honolulu.
Cleveland means death to the whole
Sandwich islands business. This waa
his meaning in appointing Mr.. Blount

beyond the shadow of doubt. The
friends of unconditional repeal openly
admit the hopelessnsss of their cause.
There will be no vote on the question,
however, next week. The situation now
is such that time is needed to enable both
sides to reflect; but it is practically agreed
that a vote is probable in less than two
weeks and that vote will be ont
PROPOSITION TO COMPROMISE.
The most powerful forces in the DEM
ocratic party are now arrayed in favor
of compromise. 1t is admitted that by
this means only can the subject of silver
be disposed of and got out of the way for
other legislation now pressing upon the
members of both houses.
THE PLAN Is
to pass silver bill in the senate by Octo-
Der 13, and, after the same has been con-
Cured in by the house, to have congress
take recess, about October 20, for. three
weeks in order to formulate tariff legisla-
tion. On reassembling at the end of
three weeks, should the tariff bill not be
ready, it is probable the Torrey bank
ruptcy bill will be called up and have
until the tariff measure is in
shape to be laid before the senate.

The reservoir Mt the saw mill on the old

which will take several days to repair.
This seems to be an unlucky place. The
first settlers house was burned and the
second settler died on tie ranch. Last
spring some of the fencing was burned;
and the washout also looks suspicious.
The bad effects of the 5000 exemption
law, is seen in the tax returns of precinct
80, which pretty we'll correspond with
East Las Vegas, In this precinct, where
the assessing was we'll done for both
years, it is found that the valuation in
1892 was $2,03O,ol1, while in 1893 it was
$2,0S6,sS9, or $23,122 less than the year
before. Another thing which the assess
ment shows, is that precinct 20, which
does not include old town, contains over
one third of tho property of the entire
county.
