SECRETARY CARLISLE made state
ment last week as to the effect Of the
tariff and bond bills upon the financial
situation. He declares that they will
not furnish the desired relief,
and repeats his statement that the
only permanent remedy for the trouble
is the retirement and cancellation OF
the legal-tender notes. He says that
the bond bill now under consideration
''faIls very short of the requirements Of
the situation"

REPRESENTATIVE JOHNSON is zone of
the republican members of the house
who openly kicked against the bond
and tariff bills forced upon the majority
of the house by the will and power of
Speaker Reed. Mr.. Johnson voted for
the tariff bill under protest, but he
with forty-six other republicans refused
to vote for the bond bill, which he de-
clared gave the lie to every principle
and precept of the republican party,
and in doing SO he said: against my
will, against my protest, voted for q
bill (tariff) which in my Judgment was
unnecessary, which in my judgment
was not republican measure, which in
my Judgment did not meet the case,
which in my judgment was not what
we were sent here to do. Let us be
consistent with our record. Let us
stand by the rule which we adopted
many years ago, that we will not issue
bonds in time of peace.

man of the committee under the demo
cratic organization of the senate, said
''I think the bill will be reported back
to thesenate almost Immediately. But,
then, you can't tell what will happen
There are some crumbs lying around
and ever protectionist is after all ht
can get. There is no disposition OF
the part of democrats to delay actor
on the bill. If delay comes it will b.
from the other side." Senator Voor
hees, is of course, strongly opposed tt

Has Won the Heart and Hand Of
Lady Churchill.
New YORK, December 30.--The an
nouncement that William Waldorf
Aston is about to lead to the altar Lady
Randolph Churchill has brought out
u secret that has been most carefully
guarded. Mr.. Aston, much as he might
desire that honor, is not the gentle
man who has captured the heart and
hand OF one OF the finest ladies in
Great Britain. mother has had that
honor, and the announcement of his
name will cause the greatest surprise.
He is none other than Tammany's for
mer great orator, w. Bourke Cochran
Only by those bearing the very closest
relations has il heen known that there
exists anything beyond a slight &C.
quaintance betwe, Lady Churchill
and the
STAR ORATOR OF NEW YORK.
Mr.. Cochran has closely and ardent
ly pressed his suit, however, and now
those who are In position TO know state
that he is soon to see bis wooing end,
as Lady Churchill has consigned to
his keeping her heart, and will soon
follow it with her hand.
Mr.. Cochran has been wdower a
few years, and Lady Churchill a wild
ow about the same length of time.
Both are extremely wealthy. 1t is un-
derstood that they first met in Wash,
ington, while Mr.. Cochran was in con.
gress, and that she had her attention
called TO the brilliant fellow by one of
his mastery oratorical efforts. 1t is
now believed that
ALL THAT HAS OCCURRED
Within the past couple Of years-Cock-
rams refusal to again stand for con.
gress, his absolute Withdrawal from
politics and his frequent visits abroad,
have all been with one object in view
That object was to give himself up to
loves conquest, with Lady Churchil's
heart as the one to be conquered
Even while Dame Rumor is coupling
that lady's name with that Of Mr.. AS
tor, the really successful sutton is not
far away from her side in old England
and that voice which has swayed
thousands is now pleading in most
tender cause.

Farm Notes.

The practice of plowng in green
crops, known as green manuring.
should be limited to those crops rich
in heterogeneous plant food, and even
they have reached the stage most
valuable in fertiliZing material, says
an exchange. 1t is very difficult to
grow a crop to this stage sufficiently
early to be available for summer crops.
Rye is about the, earliest crop grown
for this purpose, but this is not rich
in mineral or heterogeneous plant food.
1t peas are sown very early they may
grow to sufficient size to pillow under
early in June, but the great benefit
from growing peas-the decomposition
of the atmosphere and use of its nitro
gen by the plant-does not occur until
the plant has reached or passed the
towering stage of growth. If the pea
crop is plowed in before then whatever
nitrogen it contains, aside from what
the seed pea gave it, has come from
the soil. 1t is, as we said before, al
most impossible to grow a crop to the
proper stage sufficiently early to plow
under for summer crop. In those
sections where crimson clover will live
through the winter and grow up and
blossom in May it will prove a valuable
crop for green manuring. This prac-
tice of blowing under such crops seems
wasteful to people sometimes, but if a
nitrogen catcher has been sown and ii
has developed to the proper stage to
be available for a summer crop there
