PRESIDENT CLEVELAND is now
working upon his annual message to
congress, which is expected to be quite
long this year. While not caring to
make the positive statement, we have
excellent reasons for the belief that
the message will deal very vigorously
with tariff reform and will make it
perfectly plain that the President
believes the defeat of the democratic
party was not for what was done in
congress, but for what was not done.
and will urge in no uncertain language
that the omissions of the last session
be partially made up at the coming
session, by the passing of the free raw
material bills by the senate which were
passed by the house at the last session.
1t is not believed that anything that
the President can say, will cause the
senate to pass those bills, because the
democratic senators who struck the
free raw material features, with the
exception of wool, ont of the original
Wilson bill will not vote for them. but
the President can at least put himself
on record As still believing, in common
with most democrats, that the pledges
upon which the party was put into
power two years ago ought to be kept
before the party loses CONTROL of con-
gress, and ] believe he will do il.

WHO DOES 1T STRIKE:

Quite a number of eminent gentle
men fell in the sklrmish last Tuesday.
election day. but one there was pre-
eminent over all, Colossus, and like
the Colossus of old, made of brass.
Ah ! well do we remember the old
schOOl-bOok rhyme. 1t was dialogue
between father and son OH a historical
subject, and the son speaks:
"How big was Alexander, Pa,
The people called him great;
Was he like old Goliath, tall,
His spear a hundred weight?
Was he SO tall that he could stand
Like some church steeple high,
And while his feet were on the ground
His hands could touch the shy?'
The fathers answer ran thus:
"Oh, 10, my son, he wasn't SO big
As many men supposed;
In fact he kind O. shriveled when
Tho election polls had closed.
Oh, he was Alexander once.
With laurels Oh his brow;
But things have changed,
And people call him
Little

SECRETARY CARLISLE says, and
there can be 10 better authority, that
there is absolutely no foundation for
the story sent out from Wall street,
that the Treasury department was
preparing to issue bonds to strengthen
the gold reserve. And lie adds that
the story is merely part of one of the
periodical schemes started in Wall
street for the express purpose of fore
ing an issue of bonds. There is no
NOR, necessity at this time for the
issue of bonds than there has been for
three or four months. In fact, there
is less, as the gold in the treasury has
been slowly increa asing for some time.

The humane society will find plenty of
poorly fed and over-worked horses this
season OF the year. a great many poor
animals on account of the dizziness OF
tcaming during the winter have stood
idle receiving but little feed and still less
care. Now that spring work IS coming
on the teams will be put to work. Many
of them on account of being poorly fed
during the winter will be soft and weak
and unable to start at once into hard
work No matter if they are given in
creased feed vile work begins they ape
not in condition for steady hard work.
The poor horses should not be overdone
at this season of the year because times
have been dull aud work scarce and the
owner in needy circumstances.

1t is surprise to us that the carrot
crop is not more largely planted than it
is. The difficulty of keeping the young
plants free from weeds is undoubtedly
the chief reason. This overcome how
ever, by soaking the carrot seed until it
is Just ready to terminate, and then
planting it in soil which has the same
day been thoroughly cultivated, so as to
destroy any weed seeds that have germi-
mated. In this way the carrots gets the
start, and its pale ,sdelcate leaves make
the rows plainly distnguishable. 1t it a
good plan to seed the carrot somewhat
thickly, and then thin it out as it is
grow ing. There is a market for it in
lunches while quite small, as it is then
sold for flayoring soups. There is near
ly always paying market for the roots
when grown large. They are excellent
feed in connection with oats for horses,
and II ration half carrots and half oats
will keep horses in better condition than
will grain alone. 1t is an equally good
root for cows, and the bright yellow
color of the carrot is reflected to some
extect in the butter made from these
roots in winter. We have known carrots
to color butter in still another way
when grated and mixed with cream be-
fore it is ehurned. That, however, is
not practice that we can commend,
though for time at least it gives no
disagreenble flavor to the colored butter

Here in England, where trees are free
gifts of nature, man is careless about
preserving them or replacing those
which are destroyed through accident or
necessity. In the prairie states there is
the reverse of this. Every householder
is required to set out and care for a CO.
tain number of trees, and this law has
made the states beautiful with long
drives shaded by trees on both sides of
the streets. The charm of these h gh-
ways increases with years. Kansas
which at first was almost destitute of
tress, has of artificial forest 2l5,20l
acres of trees over one year old, thus :
