The Populists of California have held
their state convention and nominated a
full ticket thus early in the year. Their
candidate for governor, strange as it
may seem, is a banker. They also nomi-
mated candidate for United States sena-
tor and made just as serious a business
of it as of the naming of any other candi-
date. His name is Thos. V. Gator and
the man who nominated him declared that
he SIS not only the greatest man in this
nation, but that old Gladstone never can
hold a candleto Thomas V. Gator"
By all means let Thomas V. be elected
to the senate, although the language used
in nominating him might appear to most
people n little crude. Still it may be
only peculiar way in which that unu-
sually Intelligent body of men, called
Populists, have of expressing themselves
on great occasions.

occupying able minds in France, Austria,
that the agricultural authorities Of these
countries are no further advanced than
the land owners of Tulare and Kern.
Alksli is found in the soil of all arid
regions. Soil, being formed from rocks,
always contains salts; but in most coun-
tries, when copious rains fall, the excess
of salt is carried off through the rivers
into the sea, while in dry climates 1T re-
maiAs in the ground. These salts are
known by the general name of alkali.
They consist largely of potash, phospho-
rio acid, nitrogen and lime, the very
articles which constitute the bulk of the
popular fertilizers but they also contain
common and Glauber's salt and carbon
ate of soda. Where these last are super
abundant nothing will grow but weeds.
| And it has been found in this state and
in British India that while the alkali is
killed by profuse flooding followed by
drainage, it is increased by irrigation,
which brings to the surface carbonate of
soda and other common salt from the
earth below.
The remedy for alkali is to dress the
land with gypsum or land plaster. This
converts the carbonate of soda into
Glauber's salt, and sometimes transforms
a hopeless desert into a productive field.
Prof. Hilgard, of the Berkeley university,
says that by treating a very hard patch of
alkali land with plaster at Tulare crop
of wheat equal to forty-tive bushels to
the acre was raised. The land was 80
hard that it was impossible to pillow it,
but layer of gypsum gradually softened
it and converted the stonelike clods into
pllable humus. The trouble with the
process is that the gypsum costs money,
and is beyond the reach of the poor set
tier. Ranchers who can afford it will
find that it converts land which may be
dear at 81 an acre into land that is cheap
at $50.

THERE was unveiled in New York City
on Memorial day a statue to Horacs
Greeley erected by the New York Typo
graphical Union. This is a somewhat
tardy but just recognition of great
man. No man in his day and generation
exercised more potential influence in
the field of journalism than Horace
Greeley. His famous advice, eco west,
young man, 60 vest" was taken in earn
est by many youth who now blesses the
day that he took the great sage's advice.
Too much honor can not be done the
memory Of such men.
