Disgraceful Row In the Upper Branch of
the Colorado Legislature.

DENVER, Col, February os.-A dis
graceful row occurred in the state SEN
ate yesterday. Senator Mills in the
course of debate called Senator Peace a
liar. Mills then threw a paperweight at
Peace and the senators clinched and
fought viciously. The result was four
black eyes and lively flow of blood.
The contestants were finally separated.
The senate ordered an Investigation Of
the fracas and adjourned.

Nitrate of Soda on Asparagus.

Nitrate Of soda should never be mixed
with stable manure It is too soluble
for use SO long before the crop is grown.
1t is now believed that slight loss Of
nitrogen occurs when nitrate is added
to the manure pile. The time to use nj
trate is early in the spring. Itshould be
scattered along the rows. The nitrate
appears to force the asparagus into
somewhat quicker growth, according to
Rural New Yorker.

subsoiling Clay Soils.

Will it pay to subsoil clay soils?
Here is what an Ohio farmer says in
reply in a letter to Prairie Farmer:
If the land is not tile drained, it is
very doubtful whether it will pay. But
the blowing to insure success should be
done in the fall, and care should be
taken to do itwhen the soil is in proper
condition--not too wet. If too wet, it
will become puddled and be in worse
condition that if it had not been SUBJ
soiled. This system of blowing, if prop
erly done in the fall and if followed by
a dry cropping season, usually gives
good results, while if followed by wet
season but little benefit, if any at all,
can be expected from it. With pipe clay
well tile drained we should expect good
results 1t would give the plant roots
more room to.feed in soil that had been
influenced by the air on account of the
subsoil blowing, and then there would
not be the risk of the soil becoming pud-
died or returning to its former condi-
ton, as there would be had it not been
subsoil plowed. As the matter now
stands each farmer must determine for
himself whether his soil will be bene-
flied to such as extent as to make it
profitable It is our intention to give it
trial on tile drained land having a
hard clay snbsoil, with the aim of aid
ing the clover in its work at subsoiling.

How to Kill Moles.

The food preferred by moles is ami
NAL. There is but one way of killing
moles in an economical way, and that
is by trapping them, using the modern
trap Rural New Yorker gave the castor
oil beans thorough trial and found
them no more effective in driving moles
away than other beans would be. Poi
soning moles was found to be impracti-
cable. Another interesting discovery was
that some dogs and cats became expert
mole catchers.

THE POLITICAL PASTOR.

The current number Of the Iconoclast
contains an article addressed to "the
preacher in politics. Is it the party
platform or the Prince Of Peace! Shall
churches be transformed into political
wigwams in which to teach the people
how to save the country, rather than
how to save their souls? Shall 1t be
the preachers mission to teach the
esoteric science Of economics or the
peaceful salvation Of Christ? Shall
the pastor be the secular censor and
prostitute the pulpit for political pur-
poses or the incubator of the doctrine
love one another? Are our spiritual
pastors going to pattern after the
slangy Sam Jones. the Georgia horse
jocky, or after Paul the Apostle who
preached Jesus Christ, only, and Him
crucifed? The foregoing are some
Of the thoughts Of the authors disquisi-
ton. The average minister would not
indorse the extreme views Of the writer
probably, but any broad-minded
preacher might read it without injury
for the purpose of noting the trend Of
prevailing thought.

THE PANAMA CANAL

The rumor that work on the Panama
canal is shortly to be resumed has
again been revived. AS the story
emanates from Colon, however, and is
uncOnfirmed from any other source.
it must, Of course, be taken for what it
is worth. is tinged with possibility;
and that is all that can be definitely
said in it's favor.
Since the work on the Panama canal
was begun, upward of fifteen years
ago, the enormous sum of S220,O0O,00O
has been expended upon the undertak-
ing. twenty-five million dollars, it is
asserted, will no more than cover the
amount spent for machinery alone
The astonishing revelations of rascal
ity in connection with the construction
of the canal which were made in
Paris about two years ago, and which
for while seemed TO threaten the ex-
istence of the French Republic, clearly
proved that much Of the money was di-
yerted from its original purpose and
found its way into the pockets of all
sorts Of jobbers. Then again, unpar-
allleled extravaganza prevailed all
along the line. Money was squander-
ed as if it had been mere dirt. An
enormous hospital was erected at Pan
anna for the benefit of the workmen
employed on the canal. The hospital
was located in the central and most
desirable part Of the city, opposite 10
the Plaza. Including the land and the
ornamentation Of the grounds, the
whole affair cost upwards OF two mil
lion dollars. AT other places along the
route of the canal, notably at Colon,
more expensive hospitals were also To-
Gated, while on the beautiful island of

dollars. In view of the unhealthiness
OF the climate, 10 make ample provi-
sions for the care OF the sick was an

A GREAT LAWYER ON PROHIBITION

Yesterday mornings dispatches con-
tanned an interesting column OF the
proceedings of the American Bar asso-
citation, in session, this week, at De
troit, Mich Many Of the greatest
lawyers of the continent Were present.
Its venerable president Judge James
C. Carter of New York, in mis- annual
address, dwelt upon the subject or un-
wise legislation by foolish an mex
perienced lawmakers. He severely de-
precated the incomprehensible unwis-
dom of a people deliberately adopting
any policy that fostered crime anu
debased character When in the course
of his address he reached the subject OF
the prohibition of sumptuary laws, he
said:
1.-The condition of what are called
SUMMARY laws is equally discredlt-
able to our kowledge, both OF the
science of legislation and the teachings
of experience The task OF enforcing
them against the passions, the beliefs
and the interests of multitudes can be
accomplished only by despot, armed
with unlimited power. The result Is
that our statute books are bristllng
with penal enactments that have little
effect in repressing the practices
against which they are aimed a
society that has not the moral energy
to enforce its will in any particular
case should never embody that will In
the form of a statute
The whole matter is summed up and
completely covered in that single para
graph. There is nothing left TO say.
His closing proposition in being self
evident is unanswerable.
The hope of temperance is in the man
himself, in his enlightenment and self
respect, as the Eagle has so often
urged. The cause Of temperance, the
great steps made by it in the past fifty
years, were not of law but of enlighten-
ment. Neither Is moral suasion SO
effective. 1t is the enlightened senti-
ment, inculcated in the youth, by the
Sunday school, in the church and in the
self-respect demanded by social life.
One Of the most potent influences in
the life of the average young man is
the standard and demand Of the social
life which surrounds him. He re-
spects the commands and demands Of
society. The policeman's club has no
terrors for him. He does not even
respect the power which threatens a
legal penalty. SO the minister who
leaves the enlightenment of his pulpit
and appeals to the police makes mis-
take, not only as to the cause of tenn
perance, but as to his own influence
for good

| fifth of that sum. But, if the lates;
reports be true, the advocates of the
completion OF the scheme are sahguine
of floating a new Ioaa adequate %
meet all outlay. whether lie amount
be S20,OO0,OOO or whether ii be S1OO,-
. 100000. The building Of the canal
would not be, as many have supposed,
violation OF the Monroe doctrine;
for. although most of the stock would
be owned in France, the government of
that country would have no voice in
its management When the contract
was made between the Republic OF
Colombia and the directors of the canal
it was expressly stipulated that no
foreign country should erect fortifica-
tions in its vicinity, or in any way as
sumo jurisdiction over the waterway
but that its control should be vested
wholly in Colombia, and that it should
be neutral TO vessels of all nations at
all times and under al circumstances.
The Nicaraguan scheme has, none
the less, decided advantages over tha {
Of Panama. In the first place. the
entire affair would cost less than $780,
G00000. Then the Nicaraguan route
would be seven hundred miles nearer
New York than the Panama route. and
vessel going from Liverpool to the
South Seas would save several hun
dred miles by using the Nicaraguan
route. The latter route would also
be used by our vessels bound for the
Pacific slope, as well as by British
vessels going to Australia, but the
Panama waterway would be more con-
venient for trade between Chilli, Peru
and Europe.
If both of the canals should be con-
structed the question would arise as
to whether there would be traffic suf-
ficient to pay the expenses Of each, to
say nothing of a dividend upon the
capital expended. Neither of them.
however, is yet completed. The
chances for the Nicaraguan route are
represented as good. But as TO the
Panama canal, the future-and pos
sibly the remote future-alone will de-
>cide. 1t is surrounded by such an at
moSphere of scandal and ignominy
that capital will probably fight shy Of
it for some time to come. To have
expended so much labor and so much
money for nothing is certainly a pity.
There may be those who are ready to
throw good money after bad in order
to resuscitate the Panama canal
scheme and to push it to completion;
but until we shall have been informed
just who they are, and where they be-
long, the public will have little conf
dence in the vague yet optimistic
rumors from the IsthmuS relative to
the renewal Of the work.
