The Times says:
Instead of turning to some new lead

history, the delegates in needless rush

The Times would not do its duty to
the Democracy if it failed to denounee
the work of this convention, begun in
unusual hopelessness and ending in this
act of incredible folly. The Demo-

Mr.. Hill was the arch conspirator
three years ago, and last year MI.
Lockwood presided over the convention
that nominated the doomed Maynard.
Are these nominations an intentional
defiance of public virtue? Is it assumed
that the people have forgotten the theft
of the Senate?
Mr.. Hill is the embodiment of fac
ton in its bitterest form, and the fate
that befell his agent last year awakens
the gravest forebodings as to the fate
Of the ticket now headed by him.
The Post says:
The nomination of David B. Hill
for Governor of New York has clear

straight the paths of all sorts and con
ditions Of men. Nobody need be in
any doubt as to the call Of duty in the
coming campaign. 1t is well known
that Maynard was tool in the hands
Of Hill; that Hill devised the job Of
stealing the State Senate by criminal
suppression of the returns of the cleo
ton in Duchess county, and that after
the crime had been committed and the
proceeds pocketed he caused poor Mr..
Flower to appoint Maynard Judge Of

can only be explained on the hypothe-

thoroughly depraved and corrupt; thht
it is menace to society, and that no
truce or peace with it or its leaders is
possible.

can form of government. In England
the decision of the people takes effect
Immediately. A repudiated House of
Commons Dan no longer legislate. That
ought to be the case with the House of
Representatives in this country. There is
no advantage in the present arrangement
which compensates for the disadvant-
age that flows from the long delay in
giving practical effect 20 the wishes OF
the people, to say nothing of the danger
which always exists that before the
time arrives for the session ofsthe newly

Gov. Evans, of South Carolina, in his
inaugural address, says that ten years
ago a man as young as he would not
have dared to aspire to the governorshlp
for fear of gaining the odium OF the
class which arrogated to itself the right
TO control State affairs. That is doubt
less true. Up to within q comparatively
recent date South Carolina has been in
the hands of an oligarchy composed OF
few wealthy and influential families,
VINO practically claimed that it was their
right, and theirs galone. to govern. An
aspirant for Office outside of their set
was promptly sat down upon. The
masses had little to do with South
Cardinals affairs until Ben Tillman ap-
peared and lead determined and Esuc-
cessful fight against the. pretensions OF
the oligarchy. Now apparently y the
M asses have, got the upper hand. Really
the movement which has overthrown
the old Bourbon dynasty has not. been
SO much political as social. There has
not been so much Populism as popular
ism in it.
The Portland daily press., 1894-12-07

There can be no question but the
Senate rules ought to be changed. No
matter what party is in control, it ought
TO be able to legislate and not be subject
to being completely held up by small
minority, as is now the case. During
the last two sessions of Congress there
have been several exhibitions of the
power which the existing lack of rnles
for limiting debate puts in the hands of
small minority. Repeatedly a half a
dozen men have declared their inten
ton ofEdefeating measure by debating
it interminably, ands have defied the
majority to prevent it, and almost in
varia blystE have brought the majority
either to complete surrender or to a
compromise, in which they have got the
lions share. So far as the Senate is
concerned popular government has
been a farce for many years. 1t has
been possible for many years for
the minority to thwart the wishes of
the people. Unless the Senate. is to be-
come an incum brance, stumbling block,
an anomaly, some process must be de-
vised by which the control of it shall
be restored to the majority which has
the right to it.

There is good deal of weight in the
compliant that our sessions of Congress
as now arranged are not adapted to give
that quick effect to the voice of the
people that it is entitled to have. I'm
der the present arrangement our House
of Representatives after it has been re-
pudiated by the people can meet and leg
islate and pass the most important mat
tiers affecting the interests of the people
The elections of a month ago turned the
great majority of the present representa-
tives out of office and changed the con-
troll from party of one policy and one
set of principles to that of another party
with very different policy and set of
principles. Yet all these defeated leeis-
lators can for the next three months con-
tinue to pass acts, and the overthrown
party can continue to impose it's policy
upon the country. Suppose that the
tariff bill had not passed at the first
session Of Congress and the elections
had turned entirely upon the wishes of
the people in regard to it, and every
mem Der of the House who favored the
bill had been defeated. There would
have been case where it was obvious
that the people did not want that bill
passed. Nevertheless it could have been
passed at this session, and the will of
the people completely nullifed. AS mat
ter of tact the people did say in thunder
tones that they did not want the Demo-
cratic party to do any more legislating
for them, but nevertheless here is the
Democratic party still legislatiug. and

APPLES ARE POPULAR.

The expectation Of apples from American
ports to London and Liverpool continues to
be heavy the demand active and prices
steady for sound fruit. Last week there
were about 81, 800 barrels shipped, making
a total of 7o5, SO barrels exported thus far
this year, against only about Is, 900 barrels
mp to the corresponding date of last y ear
In $50, when the foreign apple crops failed
the shipments from American ports aggre-
gated |, }2S, SOC barrels. In l@-3 when the
European crops were large, only 81, 532
barrels were shipped; but ten years later,
when another foreign apple famine occur-
red the exports were l,l5O, $50 barrels,
which was the heaviest then on record 1t
is deemed not unlikely that this enormous
quantity will be equalled and possibly ex-
ceeded this year.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1894-12-08

The failures in soiling are due to Lack
of calculation and want of preparation SO
a. to make it easy to bring the sOiling crop
to the animals to be fed 1t is not good
policy to grow the soiling crop on the same
every year. 1t should be grown on differ
ent parts of the farm and the stock brough t
beside the soiling crop as it is cut. This
will make it necessary to have 100 to 700
rods of temporary fence that can be removed
every year and inclOse new pasture lot.
This is the best practical means of making
soiling profitable. The stock stabbed t
night in summer and left in pasture dur
ing the day, with plenty Of cut feed make
the land very rich after one season. They
get comparatively small part of feed from
the pasture, so it is only ncedful to incIose
enough land to give them exercise. After
IA years pasturing the land should be plowed
and put in some soiling crop, while another
piece should be seeded for use as pasture
the following season.
1t is best to have some hay with soiliug
crops, and the best of all hay is clover as
it furnishes the elements Of nutrition that
corn Silage mostly lacks,
