The Democratic country editors are
looking cross at the st. Louis Repub-
lie. The Republic is under tie con-
troll of Ex-Governor Francis and the
willy Ex-Governor is disposed to sneer
at the rural editors. He looks upon
them as small potatoes and does not
consider their opinions worth consid-
ering. He is the big man in the DEM
ocratic camp of the State and he tells
the country editors they must keep
quiet. He does not want them to under
take to assaume the responsibility
of directing the people in politics.
He wants to do that himself.

Connecticut has introduced a new
holiday, to be known as Lincoln day.
The date pitched upon is October 15'
which seems to have been chosen
rather because it falls at convenient
time, midway between Labor day and
Thanksgiving day, than because it has
any special significance with reference
to Lincoln. The day of his birth,
February -, was rejected because of
its proximity to Washington birth
day. We do not recall any special
significance attaching to the fifteenth
of October. except that it was upon
that day, in 1874, that Lincoln's re-
mains we're transferred to their last
resting place.

Some of the Democratic papers are
endeavoring to make political capital
of the advance in wages. Voters will
do we'll to bear in mind that wages

further, that the prime cause of the

Sneertng at Country Editors.

The st. Louis Republic assumes a
tlippancy in treating the convention
of Democratic editors at Sedalia,
which, to say the least. is in very
bad taste. 1t is true that some of the
Democratic papers of the State at
large have seen fit to sverely criticise
the Republic, and in doing so have
fallen into the error of giving that
paper an undne sense of self-impor-
tance. Until within comparatively
recent period ''Old 1903" has kept in
fraternal touch with the country press.
recognizing that partisan journalistic
policies should be shaped toward a
common end. 1t has been left for the
present regime to sneer at the country
press and scarcastically allude to the
weekly idea" as controlling an edi-
torial convention.-Cl Democrat.

Worrying About Financial Legisla-
ttOn.

The New York Democratic paper
which says no currency legislation
will be enacted by the Congress which
meets next December is probably cor
rect in this Judgment. Just at pres
ent the distribution of power among
the parties is not favorable to legisla-
tion having a partisan aspect. The
Republicans have the House and the
Democrats have the Presidency. while
in the Senate the Republicans lack
one or two votes of clear majority,
and the Populists hold the balance.
OF course there ought not to be no
partisanship in the finance question.
Neither ought there to be in the tariff.
For two-thirds of century. however,
both these issues. in their constructive
aspect, have generally been treated as
partisan questions, and they are likely
to continue to be so treated for good
many years to come.
AS rule important constructive
legislation on which party lines are
drawn is not undertaken in the second
half of Presidential term. There
are exceptions, of course, such as the
Morrill, tariff enacted in 1861 and the
Mills bill which failed in 1888, but these
are comparatively few and the circum-
stances under which these were pre-
sented were peculiar. The Congress
which passed the Morrill, tariff was
Republican in the House and Demo-
cratic in the Senate and the President
was Democratic, but by the time IN
February, 1861. that the bill passed
the Senate many Southern Senators
had withdrawn to go with their States,
which had seeded. The Democratic
President who signed the bill was a

cloth is kept on until the vines are of
good size, do not expose them too sud-
denly to the midday sunshine, but do so
gradually. These protectors ought not
to cost more than 81 per hundred, or
even less in large lots.
Melons can be gotten in the market by
using these protectors from ten to four
teen days earlier than if grown entirely
uncovered. The bugs are very destruc-
tive to young melon plants They do
not eat the plants much, but seem to
suck the life out of them. They suck
the underside of the seed leaves and the
tender stalks near the ground, and some
times will destroy older plants having
six or eight leaves. When poison is
used to destroy these bugs, it should be
applied so as to adhere to underSide OF
leaves. Paris green, strychnine and such
poisons are all good, and if applied with
judgment will destroy these pests very
etfectually. Tobacco stalk and stems
are a good preventive, and will also
hasten the growth Of thu plants, as they
contain valuable fertilizing properties
which leach out readily and go directly
into the roots of the young plants. Six
or eight stalks, or one or two handfuls of
stems, placed around each hill will do.
Another good preventive as we'll as

around them.
AS soon as the vines begin to run they
shonld be thinned to one vine in each
hill, and receive a good, thorough and
clean working with hoe, finished off
with rather long-shaped narrow hill,
little higher just around the vine
than at each end, and with the long
way parallel with the direction in which
the blowing is to be done. If this is
properly done, it will greatly facilitate
siding up the plants. Now run turn
pillow on each side of the row, throwing
the dirt to the vines. Only two burrows
on each side should be plowed at first,
and if the middle of the row is getting
foul, give it good narrowing. In few
days, when the vines have grown to or
near the edge of the bed, made by the
four burrows, another hoe working
should be given so as to clean the vines
of all young weeds m aking their appear
ance, and one or two more burrows on
each side plowed, and continue blowing
in this way until the entire row is plowed
out.
This way of plowlng melons l have
found to be by far the best, because
it furnishes freshly plowed and we'll
broke land always just at the end of the
roots, thereby enabling the roots to
take entire possession Of the land, for
they run as far as the vines do. If
the land is freshly plowed and easy to
penetrate, not only the vine, but the
melon crop will be much greater than
if the roots could not penetrate the soil
and take up the elements in 1t. 1t is
we'll known that watermelon vines are
extremely tender and the roots are as
tender in proportion. Ii the whole
middle of the row should be plowed out
where the vines are young, and heavy
rains should come, the land, in many
cases, would become so packed and hard
ahead of the roots that the tender roots
would never be able to take possession
of their legitimate territory. After
they get possession they can stand some
packing of the land without very serious
injury.
Another great advantage in this plan
is, the weeds are more effectually de-
stroyed and much more cheaply than if
the vines are allowed to becom me so long
as to necessitate turning, when the last
blowing is done; and, besides, when the
vines are thus turned and thrown about,
the crop is set back; watermelon roots
should never be broken.
There is nothing more erroneous than
the idea that pinching off the ends of
the vines will induce early bearing.
The first melons always come just on
the end of the vines, and not on the lat
erals, and by pinching off the end of the
vine you would likely pinch off the mel
on itself. And even if you should "top"
very early it would make the laterals
become so numerous as to destroy the
bearing qualities of the vine. 1t is pos
sible to increase the size of melons by
various means.
One way is to pinch off the melons,
leaving only one on vine. To do this,
after first selecting the most promising
one of the young melons to remain on
the vine, commence by taking off one
