to overrun the farm, but with the adj.

They appear before the time arrives
for planting the regular crops. and
frost, drought or excessive moisture
do not affect their progress The
farmer preserves his weed seeds over
the winter by covering them mp In the
fall, where they are secure from cold,
and brings them up TO tho warm sur
face in the spring. The oft-repcatcd
inquiry as 10 where the weeds come
from is easily answered. They are in
the soil because they are allowed TO
propagate themselveslate in the season
ami scatter their seeds so as to be
plowed under The only way TO pre-
vent this Is TO completely exterminate
them.
The annual expenditure for labor In
keeping down the weeds ON the farm Is
a large item, but there should really
be no weeds A large number are de-
stroyed by cultivation OF crops, and a
persistent warfare Is waged against
them. but in most cases the work OF de-
struction is not thorough, as sufficient
number OF weeds escape to reseed the
land for the next years crop. The re-
pugnance Of most farmers to using the
hoe depending on horse cultivation en-.
tirely, Is responsible TO a great extent
for the presence OF weeds, but even
when the harrow and cultivator are
used the work il not as frequent as
may be necessary. There are a great
many kinds of weeds, and they come
up at different times. Work must be
applied so as to do the most damage to
the weeds at the least cost and this
means not only TO begin early but
often. The work is performed 70 the
best advantage when the weeds are
just coming through the ground, as a
slight scratching OF the soil will then
be more effective than the cultivatoI
or plow later in the season. As soon
as the seeds germinate they should be
destroyed.
Every weed that grows robs the crop
OF nourishment and moisture During
a period of drought weeds can bring
to the surface and evaporate as much
moisture as other plants, being verita-
BILE pumps, which take moisture from
the soil, and the larger they are per-
mitted 20 become :ho greater the ca
pacity of their roots TO take away from
the crop the necessary plant food -

1t was a too-confdingness in the ac-
curacy of the statements of his news
gatherers which led the editor of the
Pioneer Press to comment on the sup.
posed action of the Democratic state
committee in refusing to indorse the
repeal Of the silyer-purchase act. We
beg to assure our misled contemporary
that the state central committee eX-
pressed no opinions on that or any other
act of the administration. In the meet
ing of the Minnesota Democratic as
ISOLATION resolution was adopted as
substitute for somewhat proliX one, in
which the administration and its pol
icies were commended. Apropos of this
and the reports turned in by the report
ers of our neighbor and other papers of
the same kidney. we think that they
would serve their readers better if these
young gentlemen were ordered to put a
curb on their imaginations and report
the facts. The paint pots in the edi-
torial rooms can be safely relied OH to
give the facts their proper coloring.
People do not care to read reporters

Demo Republic Republi-
in v oss.ea's s7e. $50 1aa.7s

In vote 372. $50 132.767 49,.
1t will be seen by these figures that
500, 426 men in these five states refused
TO vote at the last election. and that
nearly three-fourths of these were DEM
ocrats, or men who voted the Demo-
cratic national ticket in 1892 Except
polled an increased vote: and with that
single exception the Democratic defeats
can be justly attributed to tine lethargy
or outright revolt of the Democratic
voters.
The time was when Democrats could
always be depended upon to cast their
votes at every election, rain or shine.
But things have changed, and it Is the
Republicans who are row the first at
the poll and the last to leave it. The
stormy weather OH election day, which
once was an invariable forerunner Of
Democratic victory, is now sure indi-
cation of Republican triumph. Have
the Democrats been becoming more
luxurious of late years and the Repub-
licans less regardtul of their personal
comfort when the day of election comes
around? 1t has that appearance, truly.
1t is not fiattering to the Democratic
party to contemplate the figures given
above. The party processes to be guided
by the highest patriotism, the sincerest
desire for the public good, and yet we
find that in five states 372,654 of them
deliberately neglected a great public
duty. and permitted three great states,
previously under their control, to relapse
into the grasp of the Republicans. The
Democrats could have carried every one
of these states II as many of them had
voted last November as the previous
year. And yet we will find that the
stay-at-home Democrats will be the
loudest in their complaints, the most
unreasonable in their criticisms of
Democratic policies.
1t is very evident that better discipline
or revival of principle is needed in the
Democratic ranks. Every voter should
understand that his vote may be the one
that will sway the political balance in
one direction or another, and that his
failure to deposit it in the ballOt-box
will place a great responsibility upon
his shoulders. The man is not deserv-
ing of the privileges of citizenship who
persistently neglects to register mis- pro-
test against existing evils or in favor of
continuance of good government.
If the Democratic voters would per-
form their duty as American citizens
fearlessly and promptly there would be
no need of fear that harm would come
to the nation. The greatest danger is
from their lethargy. They compose
vast majority of the people. and by per
sistent, united action could carry out
their policies at all times. But they are
not to be relied upon. They stay away
from the polls OIL the slightest pretext,
and permit the government to be seized
by their more vigilant enemies. Some
thing must be done to arouse them if
the party organization is to be main
tanned upon such basis as to afford a
hope for future success.

ishes Its Work.
New YORK, Jan. 1.-THE executive
committee of the American Federation
of Labor today finished its three days
session. at which were present Samuel
Gompers, Chris Evans, J. B. Len
non, G. L. Drummond, of. Fort
Wayne, William Britlell, of Mingo
junction. O., and William b. Marden,
of Boston. Several committees were
appointed to attempt arbitration in ten
different localities before the boycott
resolutions introduced in the conven-
ton are endorsed.
The president was instructed to COM
municate with the senate and house of
representatives. and to inform them
that the American Federation of Labor
in1orses the attitude of the Interna-
tional Typographical union regarding
the state control of the telegraph sys-
tenn.
1t was also resolved that the publica-
ton of monthly journal be at once
begun, the first number to appear in the
early part of February. The Journal
will be known as the American FEEDER
alist, and will be under the editorship
of Gompers.
The female organizers were also ap-
pointed-Miss E. f. Pitt, OF Boston, for
Massachusetts, and Miss Belle Pierson,
OF New Albany, for Indiana.
