The Profit Ia Ashes.

Ashes used as a fertilizer are gem erally very profitable. They supply
 potash to stimulate the nerves of the growing plants and are thus Q true ma nurc. In contact with clay soil scy liberatc the phosphate of lime, with
 manure they hasten decomposition. 1t does not pay a farmer to produce less on his land than it is capable of pro ducing. A large crop exhausts its fer tility more than small one, but the cost of harvesting the large one is very
 little more than it costs to harvest a small crop. Part of the profits from the larger crop can be used in restoring the fertility of the land. It is only when there is profit from crops to re- store fertility that failure in farming can be averted. To get immediate re- turns, potash is necessary in some form. and, if properly used, it will en- able the farmer to have succession of large crops, thereby leaving him profit able returns, part of which can be used in restoring the soil. With small crops and no returns, the end is fail ure, and ashes help to supply strong and quick growth. N. E. Homestead.

the arrival of messages from the presi- dent and house. That is forty-eight years. It was on March 4, 1S44, that 1 first turned backwards the hands of the senate clock. The senate, then in what is now the supreme court room, was considering and voting upon an appro- priation bill, when it became evident that the bill could not become law before the hour of noon. Some one sug- gested to the president pro tempore Senator Wiley F, Mangum, of North Carolina), that the hands of the clock might be so manipulated as to lengthen the official day. l was sent for and was ordered by Mir. Mangum to put the hands back ten minutes. The senate clock then was tall one and l remcm- Der very distinctly climbing up to its face The time thus manufactured was sufficient and the bill became law. Only on rare occasions was there any med ding with the clock to within the past twenty years Since then the hands have been turned back at least once in every congress.
 Concerning the work of pages sixty years ago, or even twenty years ago and now, Capt. Bassett said: "The boys used to have to run all over the building into all the committee rooms, shouting and calling the senators when yea and nay vote was being taken.

was that of seeing that each senator was supplied with suitable quill pen. There were no steel pens then and we had to get a supply of the quills and distribute them on the desks. We had nothing to do with the pen making or mending; that was all done by gentle man named Club, then in charge of the stationery room. We had to be careful in the distribution, for certain senators insisted on having certain kinds of quill; some broad nibbed, some fine. Daniel Webster always wanted quill so broad nibbed that it seemed to me he could have written as well with a stick of wood. Mir. Clay was careless about his nibs. Although he preferred fine point, he would use broad nib without complaining. I've made thou- sands of quill pens in my day. Some of the senators used to write more legibly with quill pens than the gentlemen of the present day can write with steel pens. We had also considerable trouble with our ink in eally days.

COUNT THE COST.

My son, sit down and count the cost
Of lounging with the idle crew
From day TO day the whole year
through
The value of the moments lost.
You'll reach old age when not ex-
pected );
With all the fires of youth burned
out
Lies vigor gone; without doubt
The purpose of your life neglected.
With vain regrets for moments gone
You'll muse upon the year ayore
When youth and manhood held in
store
The grandest hope beneath the sun.
Then use each moment e'cr it flies
Beyond the region of recall /;
Ere faith and hope and JOY and all
From out the heart forever dies.

ACCORDING to our state constltu-

is "sole and exclusive judge of the
election and qualification of it's
members" and, therefore, the de-

comparatively few realize how very

on moonbeam, ties the end of the
lovers queue to the top of the fair
maidcn's nose, by magical knot, at
ter which nothing can prevent the
union. The marriage ceremonies OF

Republican, then that party is full
of anarchists, and can no more
evade the charge of anarchy than
the Chicago bomb-throwers.
Parties stand on the principles
they advocate in their platforms and
from the press, and the attempt to
fasten on a party, as whole, either
the acts or utterances Of few indi-
viduals, is as thin as game, and
will not bear moments investiga-
ton. Parties must stand or fall on
their principles, and, proceeding
from shis point of view, the People s
party will move on to ultimate
success.
Two YEARS ago, George Douglass
favored number of reform meas
ures passed by the Populist wing Of
the legislature. He was also the
author of two bills protecting the
ballot from corruption !; but his be-
ing reformer did not, in the least,
advance him in the esteem of his
party on the contrary, he came
near losing caste, and was only toll
Grated and elected speaker to keep
him in the party. But, when Geo.
Douglass headed mob and broke
down doors with Santa Fe rail
road sledge-hammer), then Geo.
Douglass became hero, and fool
voters of the Republican party who
could see no good in wise measures
applauded an act that will pass into
history as riotous, and that stamps
the author as unworthy of the place
to which he has been called. Geo
Douglass as wise and conservative
law maker was a nobody. Geo.
Douglass as door-breaker is hero
Verify, the party of Lincoln has
fallen very low.

LET THERE BE LIGHT.

tain quarters ran so nlSn tnaC OppO-
ments of the Populists openly
threatened personal violence, going
so far as to claim that certain men
ought to be killed.\ Why? Because
the politicians and Republican pa
pers have deliberately, by falsehood,
created an unreasonable prejudice
This is done for a purpose, and the
men who talk violence are the igno-
rant dupes Of as bad lot of men as
ever cursed free people.
The Peoples party has as good a
right to an existence as any other
party, and to attempt to stamp 1T
out of existence by threatening it's
members with violence, or by the
use of violence, or by falsehood, Is
not only un American, but proclaims
to the thinking world that there is a
screw loose somewhere. If the
Peoples party principles are wrong,
they will not succeed If they are
right. they ought to succeed.
Now, it is American to fully dis
cuss all principles and all creeds,
and he that is afraid of discussion,
in nine cases out of ten, is conscious
of being wrong. 1t is the thief
who cries Stop, thief" the loud
est. The men who raised the cry
of anarchy" against the Peoples
party did 50 for the purpose of him
dering the common people from in
vestigating certain wrongs OF which
they are conscious. Dark deeds
hate the light, and it is the wicked
who resort to lies.
Intolerance, prescription, persecu-
ton, the suppression of free speech
and press, are the weapons of cruel
tyrants.
Recently, all eyes have been fast
ened upon Topeka. An effort is
made to make the outside world be-
lieve that the Peoples party is "a
lawless body Of men, seeking the
overthrow of government. The
charge is false, and the men who
make the charge are aware of its
falsity
Admit (for the sake of argument)
that Peoples party men at Topeka
Numbered into lawless attempt to
organize the house-what then
The blunder was the act of few
individuals, and not of the party as
whole, and the party, as a whole,
is not responsible.
When George Douglass and Re-
publican members of the Legislature
broke down the state-house doors
with Santa Fe railroad sledge-
hammer), they committed lawless
act, but it was the act of only few
Republicans.

issued the following appeal to the
organizations of labor in the land
"To THE LABOR ORGANIZATIONS OF THE
UNITED STATES.
COMRADES The United States
senate will soon decide whether or
not the proposed treaty with Russia
shall become law. This treaty, as
W are aware, is compact for the
mutual extraditon of fugitive crimi-
nails, and in this class are ranked and
included certain Russian political
refugees. This is All alliance, that
would reduce the first republic of
the world to the level of a cOnfeder-
ate of the most despotic government;
and, worst of all, this scheme is
brought forward at time when the
atrocities of the inhuman tsar in Ka-
ra Yakutsk, the brutal massacre of
defenceless men, and the cowardly
slaughter of women, are yet so fresh
in the memory of indignant humani-
ty. The conduct of the president of
the United States in sending, and of
the senate in entertaining, this pro-
posed treaty, is the meanest piece of
treachery ever committed by repre-
.sentativcs of republic against their
constituents.
"Citizens of the United States,
your silence would be construed as
an approval Of this disgraceful

express their indignation against the
treacherous purposes of our treaty

NO ORDERS YET ISSUED
To Stop Redemption in Gold
of Treasury Notes.
A TREASURY DEPARTMENT DENIAL.

Nothing TO he Done in the Matter Until the
Emergency Arrives-No Action Taken
Only In tho Form Of Personal Letters Of
acknowledgement for the New York
Naval Review.
WASHINGTON, April 20.-At the treasury
department. yesterday it was ]emphatically
denied that any order had yet been issued
to stop the redemption ia gold OF the treas
ury notes Of 1880, and the statement was
made that absolutely nothing would be
done until the emergency arrived. If any
action has been taken 70 is probably i'm tho
form Of q letter Of warming Of a personal
character to the assistant treasurer in New
York, informing him what the policy of
the treasury department will be in case the
free gold entirely disappeared, but which
might be used as an order Il necessary.
IL is believed that so far as possible tho
western banks will come to the aid Of tho
secretary of the treasury and supply him
with sufficient gold to meet the present de
msud. 1t is stated that the issuance of
bonds would probably be the last method
that the secretary would turn to if a crisis
should arise. The policy Of the depart
meut would likely be, FIRST, the stoppage Of
the gold payment on the treasury notes;
second, the use to q certain extent Of the
gold reserve, and finally the bond issue.
II the last course was finally reached. it
is thought that they would not be disposed
of on this side Of the water, as this would
only bring n temporary relief. In this con
nection the visit Of j. Pierpont Morgan, of
this city, just before his departure for
Europe and his consultation with Mr.. Car
Isle are recalled. 1t was stated in press
dispatches that if Mr.. Morgan had any
mission to perform for this country it was
probably the arrangement for the dispo-
si,ion in foreign countries Of bonds in case
they were Issued. This belief is now
strengthened.
Secretary Carlisle stated yesterday after
noon that he had 51,178, 600 free gold in
the United States treasury. This was oh.
tanned Tuesday and yesterday principally
from the west ia exchange for small notes
and relieves the tension st least for the
present. Secretary Carlisle declined to dis.
cuss the present situation or the probabili.
ties OF future action.
