PEAS FOR HOME AND MARKET.
The Marked Improvement In This Vege-
tabIo-Earliest Varieties.

The Marked Improvement In This Vege-
table Earliest Varieties.
The improvement in this vegetable in
lho past 30 years is as marked as in po-
tatoes, yet many farmers stick TO the
old fashioned Marrowfats as their sole
crop and usually have 60 wait until al
most autumn before they can enjoy
them. The earliest varieties are of the
Daniel O'Rourke family, and Of these
there are some half dozen different
names for practically the same pea.
They are a small, smooth pea, the vines
growing about two feet high and rather
weak, requiring support for best results.
Following these come the second ear
lies, mostly dwarfs or half dwarfs and
embracing such varieties as Little Gem,
Blue Peter, Blue Beauty, etc. These
grow from IL TO 10 inches high, the
stalks are heavy and ragged, and the
foliage is very dense. They require no
support. For the table they are far su-
porior to the early and almost equal to
the late varieties in quality.
Then comes the main crop, which for
family use is practically limited to two
varieties-Champion Of England and
American Champion. The latter is the
largest pea grown, often reaching one
half to three fifths Of an inch in diane
ter, and is Of delicious favor. It is not
as heavy a crop pea as the former, but has
q longer and heavier stalk, in good soil
reaching six feet in height, and requires
very stiff brush, like bean poles, to sup
port it properly. There are two other
varieties Catalogued for the main crop,
called Quantity and Quality, about
which the writer Of the foregoing, cor
respondent Of American Agriculturist,
says he cannot tell them apart, but they
are both fair and yield abundantly if
conditions are favorable; height, three to
five feet Concerning cultivation he adds:
grow all kinds i'll double rows 2 to
IA inches apart and put my brush in the
middle. save the trimmings from my
peach and apple trees for pea brush.
All Of these varieties should be planted
as soon as the ground is friable and all
at the same time-the first early about
an inch deep; second early, two inches,

Drop the seed pretty thickly-say one

especially fond Of peas and will be sure
to thin them out. The brush should be

RENUMBER THE CITY.

The city council should at once take
steps to renumber the city by the plan
that is known as the "block system I"
Canton is far behind the cities of the
east in this respect, A certain number
of feet should constitute n number and
when street starts from any given
point, the first lot should be numbered
to correspond with the other street run

number on the east side of North Cleve-
land avenue north of Lake street is 25S;
the first number on the east side of
Woodland and Logan avenues should
likewise begin with 26S but they begin
with No. 2 because those streets only
run from Lake street north, If such a

SENATOR ABBoT's DOWNFALL.

Senator John q. Abbot of Morgan
county, was convicted of bribery yester.
day by Franklin county jury for hav-
ing solicited bribe from Elmer f.. Black
of Columbus. Abbot was a member Of
the Seventieth General Assembly, which
has since passed into history as the
most corrupt legislature that ever sat in
Columbus. He was the Republican Sem
ator from the 9th and 14th district, hav-
ing been elected in 1898 over ex-senator
Virgil G. Lowry. His indictment and
conviction WAS no doubt brought about
by the open charges made against the
Doodle Senators last fall by Ex-Governor
Campbell while canvassing the State for
Governor. The ways of the boodler are
hard especially in these Lexow days of
investigation. Senator Abbot was once
a highly respected citizen but he is now
compelled to bow bis head in shame.
There are no palliating circumstances
connected with his crime. He was con-
victed of soliciting bribe. The bribe-
taker is an enemy to free institutions
and should be despised and disrespected
by all good American citizens, but the
bribe solicitor is still much worse and
can only be met with the strong arm of
the law. The mills of the gods grind
slowly, but when they do grind what
impalpable powder they make of bood-
lers and corruptionists. The punish
ment for bribery under the law of Ohio
is imprisonment in the penitentiary for
not more than five years or fine not to
exceed $500 or both and disqualification
from holding any public Office or ap-
pointment under the State.

Old Enough.

1t was in an Irish court that an old
man was called to the witness box not
long ago, and being old and just a little
blind he went too far i'll more than one
sense, and instead of going up the stairs
that led to the box he proceeded to
mount those that led to the bench. Said
the judge good humoredly:
''Is it a judge you want to be, my
good man."
"Ah, shure, thin, you honor" was
the quick reply, "I'm an ould man
now, and mebbe it's all I'm fit for. "
The astonished judge had no reply
ready. Scottish Nights.

. Plea for Common Sense.

To the Editor Indianapolis Journal:
In North Carolina Mr.. Bryan. a lawyer,
was reported as condemning the Republic
ans claiming that they are willing to trust
the destinies of the people in the hands
of foreigners whom we can only reach by
petition This relates to the combined eff
f, It Of all nations to establish a parity be-
tween gold and silver. England desires to
act to prevent the slaughter of the Chris
tians in Turkey but She does not Bryan
fashion, ego it alone" she fears the COM
Lination of rival nations against her, which
is exactly what the conservative people OF
the United States fear in the .'go-it-alone''
scheme of bolStering inferior money. The
bolstering is the admission of weakness, or
need of support. With rawlings of criminal
ity in 1873, disproved by the making of trade
dollars, purposely made weighty that the
intrinsic value would cause them to out
class any rival dollar-with this proof that
intrinsic value in 1873 counted, and in 1873
was intended to count with the trade dol
lar we are told to-day that intrinsic value
is of no moment; that it is the compulsion
that gives value, and we cannot compel
foreign nations-we can only petition them
therefore, without their consent, will
pay them in what we please and make them
become boomers This is about the same
as failing business house forcing its. cred
itOrS to take stock in a reorganization in
order to save themselves from loss. The
loss generally comes afterwards. there
was a design in the scheme from the be-
ginning. With our simple form of govern
ment the only safe metallic money is that
which cannot be initiated with profit: ali
other kinds of money require watching.
With the political machinery in their hands,
and contempt for the executive of the Ma
ton and his assistants, what is to prevent
the silver spectators from making millions
of silver dollars and passing them in Pop
ocratic districts? We have q right to ask
this question when charges of crime are
made and United States Senators are ac-
cused of selling out their country to the
RothSchildS for the stated sum of SO, 600.
This is certainly d fine way to invite for
eign co-operation-t publish that betrayals
are so easily effected with us. IT would APP
