Dt.eord w,,h,n the Democracy.

A certain obscure sheet published on
Saturday a vgigsr onslaught on Messrs.
P. II. o.Seil!. John Edelstcin, John E.
Hewitt. Dante, Y. Lewis aad Charles
Rirdsall, the gentlemen who have been
ags.ating for g new deal in the local
Democratic organization. 1t is a great
pity that any such foolish thing SHOULD
be put in print. It does no good. 1t
makes bad blood. 1t really magnifes,
rather than reduces, the influence of the
quintet because it gives the impression
that some one is afraid Of them, and
also because it embitters themselves and
their friends. In a word. the attack was
a boomerang. II was very bad politics
The movement which these gentlemen
were trying to launch was exposed by
.aThe News, a week ago. The exposure
killed it. Everyone in it ran to cover
-ntaneo If the subject had been
dropped there and then it would not have
heen heard of again. 1.-THE News is
uncompromis:ngly opposed to all att
tempts to produce disunion in the party
scheming for power and working for
vengeance are alike to be condemned.
We have this county now. The question
is can we hold it. We cannot if we
squabble.
In a week or two we will have Mr..
Phelps with his aggressive Republican
ism to make the music for US to dance
to.

THE Commissioners Of Adjustment
have lone wonderful work in the last
seven years for Jersey City's treasury.
They deserve all the complimentary re-
marks which Judge Lippineott bestowed
on them. People of all classes will recog-
nize the magnitude of their accomplish
ment in a moments attention to the fig
ures. Out Of a total of $9.022. 662, once
bad debts" they have put the city in
the way of recovering $7,157,5S2, and in
fact the greater part of that sum has
been recovered and the city holds
liens on valuable property for the rest.
The record is a remarkable one. The
law under which the Commissioner work
ed has brought benefit to many cities,
but in none has it been so successfully
administered as here.

The Plant Trick.

A French scientist, M. Ragonncau,
has just discovered how to mako a

this secret with tho Yoghis of India

those clover magioians in performing
tho trick havo often boon described.
They plant n seed in tho earth and
cover il with cloth. In fow mo-

a market gardener, whose specidty
is growing lettuce under glass, has for
the past year had good deal of
trouble with "a species of rot whieh
seems first to attnok the lower leavel,
those lying on tho ground, and thct
gradually spreading to the stalk AND
upwards. His greenhouses have ca,
paoity of about $4,000 heads, and
what has heretofore been paving
business is now rather losing one be-
cause of the loss from rot. What to
do to got rid of the post is the ques-
ton. a representative OF this journal
recently visited tho place. Tho beds,
at first glance, presented beautiful
appearance. their long rows of brilliant
green showing up finely, but closer
in 7estigation showed the dreaded dis
ease was doing its destructive work.
Tho soil of tho beds is largely COM
posed of loan, sifted coal ashos, vegc-
table humus, and little sand. The
stable manure is all worked over in q
compost hemp before using.
We recomme nded the following
treatment Us being best calculated to
SSo Ilu Vi tuo rOU. WQcn n pea is
empty spray it heavily with tho Bor-
deaux mixture oil over tho surface.
later give it liberal dressing of pot
ash in some form; wood ashes would
be especially desirable. Then work it
up, rs is usual, and just before setting
out tho plants spray it literally the
second time. The young plants, which
in the meantime have been once trans
planted, should be sprayed with the
nmmoniacal solution, diluted to one
half tho usunl strength. Then trans
plant, and after the plants get started
again spray once moro with the diluted
ammoniacal solution.
More or less rot will be found ut
first. All the plants removed for this
reason, or oil rotten leaves which ore
removed in trimming should BIO de-
stroyed. BY no means should they be
allowed to get to the compost heat,
where they would infect the whole
heap. Better burn them oil up. We
are of the opinion TINT this treatment,
if persisted in, will provo cffoctual. =
