Is Il \ Grcnt Discoverys

The discoveries of Hellreigal and
Willfarth in vegetable chemistry have
recently been applied through expert
ments the results of which as now dis
cussed in scientific periodicals seem
almost incredible.
vt the basis of these experiments is
the fact or the assumption that the
power OF a plant to fertilize the soil
in which it grows is due TO a micro
scopic animal parasite feeding on its
roots and causing the formation of
..tubercles. - It is said that only in
the presence of these tubercles do peas
and other ''leguminous plants" absorb
from the atmosphere the nitrogen
necessary for fertilizing the soil.
When nitrogenous fertilizers are
added artificially they are very costly,
and the problem liberalization is one
of the most serious in political econ
omy, directly related as it is to the
possibilities of continuous growth in
population and to the theory of the
pessimists that without frequent wars,
famines and pestilences men would
soon starve to death.
According to LIE Genie Civil, French
experimenters who applied in prac-
tice this theory of thetuberculous hab-
its of plants ''incoculated" plots of
growing leguminous plants by sprink
ling them with water containing the
germs of the parasitic disease, it is
said that as a result from 5000 to II.
600 pounds of nitrogen, worth from
SIS to SIS an acre. were added to the
soil by ploughing under the inocula-
ted plants
If this is true it is the greatest dis
covery in agricultural chemistry ever
made. Let us hope that it is. not for
getting, however. that our scientific
friends in France sometimes fail to
discriminate between the results of the
scientific and of the merely poetic ima-
gination.-New York World.

Democracy,s Reorganization.

WASHINGTON. D. C.. November Is.
st. Louis is the place. and the 27th
OF November the time selected Tor the
preliminary steps in a reorganization
OF parties. Bland is expected to be
there. and other free silver leaders
from the Democratic and Populist par
ties. The meeting is called under the
auspices of the Bimetallic League.
EX-Congressman i. J. Warner. the
executive officer OF the league, was en-
gagged to-day in sending outinyitations
to the meeting. The list Of the invited
is limited. The league aims at 4 gath
ering which Will carry weight through
representative character Of those who
attend rather than by numbers. How
far the conference will go will depend
on the discussion which will take place
after those invited get together. No
program is being arranged in ad-
vance.
Gen. Warner in d guarded CONVEX
sation to-day said it was hoped that
the Populists would be willing to lay
aside some of their more extreme
views on the other subjects, and join
the free silver men of the two old par
ties in this movement for free silver
party. Gen. Warner says he expects
there will be some free silver Republi
cans in the conference. but he does not
name them. Senators Stewart and
Jones of Nevada, PETER of Kansas
and Allen of Nebraska are expected to
attend: also. congressman Bryan of
Nebraska and Pence of Colorado.
Some Southern Democrats and Popu-
lists of free silver tendencies are to
be invited, but their identity is not
made public.
Gen. Warner believes that the PopN
lists will be ready to GO into themove-
ment, and he hopes that enough South
ern and Western Democrats will be
present to give the movement impetus.
If the ST. Louis conference develops
strength and spirit enough to justify
the calling OF a second meeting on
more elaborate plan the Bimetallic
League will be satisfied,

A SUGGESTION MTG WOMEN.
If They Want TO Reform Politics They
Must Learn Politics.

/ When women take an active inter-
est in public affairs they, in nearly all
cases, make it very plain that they do
it as women-they never claim that
they are acting as citizens. and their
campaign is conducted in all the de-
lightful environment OF femininity.
Often when women hold meetings. in
the interest of equal suffrage. or clean
government or whatever it may be.
only women are invited. This is
usually found asyery satisfactory plan.
Such meetings areheld in the forenoon
or shortly after lunch. when they will
not conflict with customary social du-
ties. Women can more readily come
at such times. OF course it is out of
the question for men 10 attend.
When masculine interest is To be en-
listed in a cause. meetings must be
held in the evening. Even then they
usually assume more OF the form OF q
social function than they DO Of poll
tical gathering such as men are ac-
customed to. If their interest Is ex-
cited. il is due more to a spirit Of gal-
lantry than to conviction.
While Observation-Disclosures
may have their place. it Is highly
probable that more wouid be accom-
plished if women would go 70 meetings
Of men rather than by longer couoinu-
ing to / TO get men to attend meet
ings of women.
Before a thing can be elevated Il
must be understood. and men by actual
practice and participation know more
of public matters Jhan their sisters.
Their gatherings, thon. in Z limited
way. are foUnts OF poiijicalinowledge.
If women would bat attend public
meetings as spectators their eievatiug
influence would be felt 10 . surprising
extent. Men would find themselves
working in purer atmosphere. and
there would he less chance of their
principles becoming bcfogged by self
interest. This in itself would be an
accomplishment worth effort. Fulth-
ermore, if women thus made ocular
demonstration OF their intelligent in
terest in political matters. men would
sooner understand and consider the
question OF equal suffrage.
As long as women flock by them
selves they can exort little influence
over affairs OF state. 1t may be re-
marked that men almost without eX-
ception, would welcome women at
theirpolitical gatherings. katie Field :
