Potting Winter Plants.

The wise flower woman now covers her
hands with gardening gloves, arms her
self with a trowel, and gets down on
her knees before her garden plots, says
the Germantown Telegraph. For the
time is at hand when she who expects
to have flowers blooming all winter must
transplant them.
Cannas salvias, and all the half-hardy
perennals which need shelter from the
frost should be raised and their roots
should be cut around about four or five
inches from the stem. They should be
soaked in water for time to induce the
starting of new roots In about a week
carefully pot the plant. Marguerites,
abutilons and daturus will bloom through
out the winter if treated in this way and
removed to warm place.
Hyacinths, tulips, narcissus, crocus and
all ordinary spring bulbs should be
planted during this month, as early pot
ting is the secret of success in growing

a PERTINENT QUESTION.
Legal Legislation and the Statehood
Question.
Editor Herald:

Editor Herald:
Wouldn't our Legislative solons oc-
cupy their time and earn their salar-
les quite as well. by attending strictly
to territorial legislation, as in fighting
over buncombe resolutions to instruct
Congress upon national matters? The
effect of these, if these resolutions re-
ceive as much attention as a last year s
almanac, will be to antagonize the ma
jorities in both branches of Congress
and injuriously affect our prospects of
statehood. We are not out of the
woods yet by any means on this ques-
ton.
There is a strong feeling among the
eastern Republican senators in favor
of anneXing us to Nevada. And this
feeling has strong backing among the
people. Let a few Democratic sena-
tors join the Republicans and a few
months may see us attached as a tail
to bankrupt Nevada with its debts of
about SIP to each voter; its governor
and Legislature chosen by a population
of about three-fourths that of Salt
Lake city, its extravagant system of
state government calculated for a
state with at least 1000 900 inhabitants.

Let US rather get statehood and our
two senators and one representative
can not only talk to some purpose but
they can vote.
There are two classes of people east
who would keep US a territory, or an
mex US to Nevada. First, that class of
country ministers and their large fol-
/ lowing who believe that a man, who
has less than three or four wives and
travels in rural Utah, takes his life
in his hand, and are just as certain
that return to polygamy would fol-
low statehood, as they were in 1884
that the election of Cleveland would
be followed by the re-esta blishment OF
slavery in the south. And second
those who think we have quite sena-
tors enough from the wild and wool
| ley west, whose financial views from
their standpoint are pernicious and
dangerous The result of the late cleo
ton in Salt Lake city must, if any OF
the eastern Democratic senators are
human, make them more amenable tc
a compromise on annexation.
1t may be said that Nevada will not
take US, but it is well understood. what
qualifications man must have, to be
a senator from Nevada It is natural
to suppose that the Nevada senators
would rather represent % 10000 peo-
pie than 10000, especially as their
terms are long, and the same infiu.
lences that made them senators could
make Nevada favor annexation.

An Opera That Never Grows old.

An Opera That Never Grows old.
On November 81, 1S43, Balfe's opera,
1.-THE Bohemian Girl was presented
at the Drury Lane theatre, London,
and on November 81, 1898, exactly
! fifty years later, a commemorative an
niversary performance was given in
London of this most popular work of
the Irish composer. A simple assert
ment of hon1ely melodies based upon a
story written by Cervantes, ''The Bo-
hemian Girl is as popular with the
patrons and admirers of English opera
as it was half century ago; it is as
certain to fill a theatre, and there has
been no waning of it's charm in the
meanwhile. OF how few operas can
this be said truthfuily? Among musi-
clans, whose knowledge is technical,
1.-THE Bohemian GiFl'' does not hold a
| high rank, and Balfe, who was a vocal
| list as we'll as composer, does not hold
| a high place. Bit he understood the
craving of the public for simple melo-
dies, and upon this foundation rests
his fame. '"The Bohemian Girl is re-
membered when more ambitious, and
perhaps, more meritorious, operas COM
posed by Italian, German, French,
Spanish and English musicians are
neglected by the general public. The
great charm of Irish music, and of
musical compositions written by Irish
men, is the simplicity of the melodies
and the direct appeal which they
plaintively make to popular sympathy
and imaginati ton. Balfe was a native
of Dublin. He composed, in all, about
thirty operas, but 1.-The Bohemian Girl
continues to be, fifty years after it's
first production, the most admired of
his works. In these days sentimental
ballads enjoy no more than an epheme-
raj favor. They are heard from the
barrel organ and from street bands.
Parodies appear upon them, and under
the burden of ridicule thus stimulated
they disappear. Balfe was more for
tunate. He did serious work, and it
was regarded seriously. 1t has with
stood alike -ridicule and censure, and

Total number of families in
United States-.-..- 2,690.i52
Total of national wealth $780, 600
Thus 81 per cent. of the families of the
cent. of the wealth and 8 per cent own II
per cent. of the wealth. And Mr.. Holmes
believes his estimates do not overstate the
case against the poor. His allowances
of holding above debt, etc, are certainly
much too large for the south, he says,
for the whole country are probably none
too small.
These conclusions are about as dubious
as any which have ever been reached i'll
the study of this question. Proceeding
to divide the richer per cent of the
moderately we'll off, Mr.. Holmes takes
the New York Tribune's list of million
aires 4,04O and gives them an average
of about So, 000, 000-this estimate being also
G. Shearmans claims in the same line,
or three-hundredths of l per cent. of all
the families, about $4,000, 600 or 20 per
cent. of the nations wealth; and leaves
the remaining property of the nation (51
per cent? to 3 per cent of the families,
excluding the comparatively few million
aires.
The esult seems incredible to Mr.
Holmes. That 4,047 families should pos
sess nearly as much wealth (seven-tenths
as much at leasD IS l1,599,SS7 families is,
indeed, rather startling But 1t is prob
able, he contends, that the statement is
approximately correct. Excluding the
millionaires, the wealth of the 1902, 21S
families lying between them and the
great mass of people holding property
at less than $1,000 becomes an average
of $4,000 a. family-which seems large for
so many, but which, Mr.. Holmes goes on
to demonstrate, must be about the case.
He attributes the condition of the great
mass of families partly at least to the we'll
known extravaganza of the American
people: and it is questioned whether this
extravaganza, this lavish spending of
money for material comforts, enjoyments
and knowledge has not been of greater
good to the nation than such saving as
the French people practice. We do not
understand him to conclude that on the
other hand the riches of the rich have
been the result of frugality altogether
ne admits that land MGR opoly-and he
might have added railroad and patent
monopoly-have done wonders in the way
of playing so large fraction of the ma
TONS accumulations into the hands of
so small a number. The opportunities for
the accumulation of excessive fortunes
are rapidly passing away he thinks but
the dispersion of those already heaped up
does not show any signs of development
in the natural order of affairs, and the
great problem they present to the republic
tends rather to become more and more
aggravated.
