S U B STAN TIAL GOOD
Result Of the Pan-American Conference Held
in Mexico.
Why the United States Did Not Send
u Representative to That
Gathering.

1t is expected here that the Pan-Ameri-
can conference recently held in the City of
Mexico will be productive Of substantial
good in the near future. and I'm the end
bring ahou, a decided change in the atti-
tude CT the European powers toward the
republics of South and Central America.
The manifestation of an intention on the
part OF the American governments to pre-
sent a united front in opposition TO un-
reasonable demands by European powers
is calculated to do away with The ultima
tum habit" which has been a growing
source of irritation TO the small republics.
Inasinuch as some surprise has been eX-
pressed because the United States did not
participate in the Pan-American confer
enCe, it may be proper to state, on the au-
thority of an official who is fully aware Of
the purposes OF the administration in this
matter, that it was not from lack of SYM
pa;hy with the general objects Of the con-
ference that the United States refrained
from open participation. On the contrary,
Secretary Olney was animated by the
strongest desire to make the conference a
success, and it was only because he felt
that the gathering would make a much
stronger impression upon Europe if it were
free from all suspicion of being dominated
by the United States that he refrained
from sending representatives to Mexico.
Long before the congress assembled, and,
in fact. before the invitations were for
mally delivered. Secretary Olney had thor
oughly considered and discussed the pro-
priety of United States representation in
the congress with Senor Carbo, the newly
accredited minister to Washington Of Ec-
uador, the country which originated the
idea of holding Pan-AEerican conference
THIS year. 1t was then decided by Mr. Oh
ney, With the concurrence of Senior Carbo
that the conference would be of greater
value as support to the United States in
the advanced position 1t had taken respect
ing the Venezuelan boundary dispute if the
other nations of this hemisphere We're per-
mitted to express their sentiments respect
ing the construction Of the Monroe doc
trlne embodied in Mr.. Oney's famous note
or July, 30. absolutely free from influence
by the United States. Now it is felt by
the administration that the results have
fuliy justified the adoption of this policy on
non-lnterference. for not only has the Eu-
ropean mind been disabused of the impress
sion that there is divided America on the
Monroe doctrine, but our government has
been relieved Of the necessity of commit-
ting Itself to any entangling pledges.

A New Nickname.
"Yellow-hammers'' Is a name given in de-

"locofoco'' and "barn-burner."

class is Rev. John Quincy Adams Henry,
Baptist clergyman Of this city. His anx-

trouble, and. in addition thereto, give the
courts an altogether new point to decide.
1t Is reported that one of the reverend gen.
tleman's flock is opposed to having the
sanctuary converted into political forum,
and that he may bring suit to enjoin Mr..
Henry from expoundng any sort of doc

is said to be a sound money man himself,

ALFALFA AND GLOVER.
Conclusions Drawn from an Indiana Eek
pertinent Station Report.

pertinent Station Report.
Alfalfa has been grown several years
at the Indian experiment station, and
W. Latta, agriculturistof the station,
speaking from experience, says that
although alfalfa can, when well started,
endure drought better than clover, it
cannot produce three or more crops the
same season without irrigation. This
information is necessary to ccunteract
statements made by some enthusiasts,
who may Internationally. mislead
some into displacing clover with alfalfa,
on account of the alleged immense
yields of the latter.
AT the station it was found that al
falfa is more feeble than SLOWER at the
start, and is very liable to be choked by
weeds the first season; that it increases
in vigor until the third year at least,
and thus maintains itself better and
longer in the soil than common red,
mammoth or alsike clover; that in very
dry seasons-like 1s95-it may WELD
more hay than clover; that in normal
seasons it sometimes yields less than
clover: that but two cuttings of alfalfa
may be expected the same season with
out irrigation.
In any fertile soil, having sufficiently
porous sub-soil to permit it to strike
deep root into the lower, permanently
moist earth, the alfalfa will probably do
well. 1t is said to do best in light. cal
careous loans, underlaid with porous
subsoil. The land should be thorough
~ and deeply drained. and may be
plowed to advantage. Subsoil in the
fall, but sow the seed in the spring.
Close pasturing by any class of stock
is injurious to alfalfa, and sheep should
not be allowed upon it, but if not grazed
too close it viii endure pasturing fairly
we'll 1t is, however. best for hay.
In any soil where red clover thrives
il is not wise to discard it for alfalfa
without first experimenting with the
latter. If experience proves it superior
to clover as a seed, soil renovator and
a yielder. then a change can be safely
made.-Journal of Agriculture
