this political wiseacre are but sense
less bubbles taken from some dis

that he will waste his time in trying

There is something practical and
proper in the declaration of the Win
chester Democrat that it will not sup
port any candidate for the legisla-
ture who is not in favor of an adver-
Using bill that covers all sales made
by order of the courts. A bill of that
nature was defeated in the last legis-
lature by the failure of few mem
bers to fulfill their promises to sup
port it and it is proposed now to bring
the matter before the next legisla-
ture and to fight to win. The meas
ure will be beneficial to the newspa-
pers, but of far greater benefit to the
public, especially to unfortunates
whose property is to be disposed Of
at an enforced sale and who need
every dollar that it can be made tc
bring. If all of the newspapers Of
Kentucky will take the stand the
Democrat has, the much needed law
will be secured without any trouble

The Forum for March (which by
the way, begins Vol. XXX has for its
leader an article by Mr.. James II.
Eckels, comptroller of the Currency,
entitled "The Business World VS.. the
Politicians" Senator III. G. Lodge
writes on sour Blundering Foreign
Policy" illustrating his contention
with recent examples of our dealing
notably with Hawaii and Japan. Mr..
Andrew Carnegie, under the sugges-
tive title "What would l do with the
Tariff If / were Cart" alphabetically
declares that the Wilson tariff reduces
the taxes on articles used solely by
the extravsgant rich class, and in
creases them on articles used by the
workingmaD, and he advocates new
tariff by which the revenues on ar
ticles imported for use only by the
rich wouldIbe doubled; thus obviatipg
the necessity of an income tax. Pro-
lesser i. r. A. Seligman asks, as the
Income Tax Constitutional TN i Just7'
and argues that it is both just and
constitutional. The Forum as usus
sweeps over the whole field of con-
temporaneous activity, and presents
it's readers with a dozen timely and
interesting essays, on wide variety
of subjects, written by special stu,
dents of the topics treated.

A Years Work at rordhooh Farm.

This is the title of a new book pub
lished by w. yAtlee Burpee g. Co., the
well-known seedsmen of Philadelphia.
1t is superbly printed on coated pa
per, and illustrated with fifty beaui-
full half tone engravings from photo
graphs. 1t is intended to present
in an attractive manner, by the uni
ted efforts of pen and camera, an ex-
act, comprehensive and impartial pic
ture of Fordhook, precisely ash APP
pears to the average man or woman
visiting the Farm. The following ex-
tract. from the authors introduction
gives an idea Of the scope of this lit
tie yolume:--
"Mr. Burpee would be only too
glad if every one of the thousands
upon thousands of the firms custo
mers from all over the globe could go
to Doylestown and see Fordhook with
their own eyes; but as this is a mani
fest Impossibly with the larger pro
potion of them, this little book has
been prepared as sort of humble
mirror which will reilecl, at least, a
feeble likeness OF Fordhook and its
doings to the nttermost parts of the
earth, and makes all peoples ac-
quainted with the system and pro-
eesses which have made this one of
the greatest seed farms in the world /,
and the source of one of the most
iourishing business enterprises in the
United States"
Although the price is 10 cents, W.
Atlee Burpee & Co. will be- pleased to
send q copy upon receipt of two 2
cent stamps to the address of any
planter who desires to consult it be
fore purchasing this seasons supply
of seeds. 1t is book we'll worthy Of
careful reading.

democratic affiliations when it thus COM
pares the appropriations Of the last con-
gress with those Of the 90. called "billion
dollar congress-" 1t finds that this one
has not only spent the billion, but has
distributed it ~unjustly and Extensively.
1t has decreased the appropriation for
the army, in comparison with its prede-
cessor, by nearly 100000; it has set
aside for the protection Of the sea coasts
100000 less; it has decreased the naval
appropriations by over 100000; and it
has cut off s25O,OOO from the support of
the consular and diplomatic service
These savings, made where they will
hurt most, are SET opposite an increase
IN the salary list OF the sundry civil bill
OF $14,244,0OO. The Fifty-third congress
was true to the last to the / i~stincts OF
the spokesman.
