Wet lands should be drained be-
cause we cannot unlock the fertility of
the soil unless air takes the place of
the water, says Prof Scott, in the Agri-
cultural Gazette We drain to let
water into the soil, as much as to take
it out-not merely to carry off the sur
plus water. but to make the fertilizing
rain filter through the soil. Amongst
other effects, draining improves the
texture of soil by making it porous,
drier, looser, and more frable; it makes
land more easily worked; it raises tho
temperature of the soil; it enables u
greater variety of crops to be grown;
it gives an earlier seed-time and an
earlier harvest; and it makes manure
more efiectual And even this does
not exhaust the practical advantages of
draining wet lands.

A Journey to Other World.

Mr.. John Jacob Astor, of New York,
following in the footsteps of his kins-
man, William Waldorf AstOr, has made
a bold plunge into the world of litera-
ture. But the ambitious young author
has shown a disposition to conquer
more worlds than one; for his work is
stated to be "a tribute to SCIENCE" and
its title is"A Journey to Other Worlds. {"
The flight from the earth to the other
worlds is accomplished by means of
"apergy," force of Nature the exist
ence of which had hitherto been un-
suspected. The new 'force" is said to
be the reverse of gravitation," and by
its use people are enabled to fly away
off into space in any direction at what
ever speed they desire. The wisdom
of revealing this wonderful secret on
the part of the young millionaire is
questionable. What is to hinder an
improper use of the "force"by evil-dis-
posed persons? An unconscionable
malefactor might take it into his head
to fly away from this vale of tears and
carry off with him the AstOr millions,
together with the bank vaults in which
they securely repose. Inasmuch as
the date of the discovery" is supposed
TO be the year 1000 A. D., the young
author probably feels little personal
concern in the matter; but il shows a
poor regard for the comfort and ease of
mind of his descendants to expose
them to such fearful risks.
In the year 1000 A. D., according to
Mr.. Astor, many thing will have been

of the seventh heaven of departed
spirits, which the author places upon
the planet Saturn, receive more than
passing remark. The fancy is a de.
lightful one which pictures the flowers
of this charming abode in the act OF
discoursing sweet music; although it
rather shocking to be told that the fail

Expensive Reform.

The Milwaukee Journal, Demo
cratic organ, tries to defend Gov.
Peck by publishing the appropria-
tons and expenses of both Peck 8 and
Hoard's administrations. These are
Democratic figures, furnished by the
Democratic secretary of state, and
there can be no objections to some
comparisons in administration
shown by them.
The total general fund disburse-
ment in the year 1889, the first year
of Gov. Hoard's administration,
amounted to $1,000, 685 30, and the
total for the second year Q89O)
amounted to $1,25O, ATS 95, making
total for the two years of Gov.
Hoard's administration which foots
up $2,76O,161.15. The total dis
bursements in Gov. Peck's first year
(1891) were ST., 51O,3O1 O3, and for
the second year 81 1856, 1879. max
ing total of $2,865, 1862 for his
first term, or an increase of $1O5,-
295.67 over that Of Gov. Hoard.
Gov. Peck's second term, according
to this Democratic defense, starts
out with another increase, the total
expenditures jumping from 81, 3d.
3O1 .O3 the first year OF his first term
to $1,728, 87S.1O for the first year of
his second term. This is another in
crease of $218, 577.O7 to show how
sincerely the funny administration of
Wisconsin takes it's Endorsement by

upon it's economic pretenses.

A Call for Mercy.

The last words in Hon. William L..
Wilson's really eloquent closing
speech in behalf of his tariff for pro-
lection and for a deficiency were
these:
"This roll is a roll of honor. 1t is
q roll of freedom. And in the name
OF honor and in the name of freedom
summon every Democratic member
OF this house"
Almost the last words in Speaker
Crisp's skillful concluding argument
for this same Wilson tariff bill were
these:
"Let us stand together; let US pass
this bill. let us redeem this pledge as
we will redeem every other pledge
that we have made to the people"
A roll of honor? A pledge re-
deemed? God have mercy on the
English language if these words mean
what they say!-NeaO York Sun.

IngerS0Il on Cleveland

Col. Robert G. Ingersoll in his usual
jovial and good-humored way turned
his guns on President Cleveland this
morning, as he talked to a Daily News
reporter.
81 think the people are having their
eyes opened" said the colonel.
GA little while ago he was the Mug
wump god-the one perfect being in
the political world-and the rank and
file of the Democratic party was
nearly agreed with the Mugwumps.
Since the 4th of last March Mr. Cieve-
land has constantly made mistakes.
Month after month the mercury of
his reputation has fallen. One by
one the worshipers arose from their
knees and looked with wondering eyes
upon their idol. One by one the
friends grew cold and one by one the
enemies grew hot. During all the
time Cleveland grew obstinate, lofty
and pharisaical.
Nothing ever was or ever will be
more absurd than his position re-
garding the restoration of the queen
Of the Sandwich islands. This was
enough to make the dead laugh. So
his fight with the leaders of his party
is far away from the line Of political
sense. His defeat in the Sandwich
islands, the failure of the Hornblower
appointment and the prospective de-
feat of Peckham has deprived Cleve-
land of his halo. The robes Of the
divine have dropped from the
shoulders and now he is just an or
binary human blunderer. "-Chicago

Facts as to Wool Tariffs.

CHICAGO, H., Jan. 18-To the Edit
or.-Is it true as claimed by a Demo-
cratic friend that about $40 wooden
mills, or manufactures using wool,
failed and went out of business be
tween the time of the passage of the
Mckinley bill and the time OF Cleve-
lands nomination? If SO, had the
Mckinley law anything to do with 1t,
as to the tax on wool?
A SUBSCRIBER.
l. The assertion is not true. The
increase of wooden manufactures be-
tween date ofpassage of the Mckinley
bill and election of Cleveland in No
vember, 1892, was considerable. The
capital sunk in new textile industries,
or enlargement of old ones, up to
May 6, 1892, was represented by ST.
$4,000 and the additional number
of hands employed was estimated at
$500. OF this increasefully one-half
was in wooden textiles.-Inter Ocean.
