ton from Huntington's rascalities He
declares there is no comparison of reputa-
tlon between the two men.
"Sutro is considered" says Hodges, "a
gentleman of integrity and public bcne-
factor, and was elected Mayor of San Fran
cisco over the combined influence of all
parties and Huntingtons money, while
Huntington is considered railroad free
booter, grasping everything in sight, and
to-day is the most thoroughly despised
man in California"
Hodges also pays his respects TO Gov
ernor Budd, who was elected to office solely
on the issue of Huntington and anti Hunt
ington or Southern Pacific, which is the
same thing. No case was ever tried in State
courts that could be taken to the United
States court. He says for years the rail-
road commission has been under the con-
troll of the Southern Pacific, and elucidates
on the practices OF this company.
"Henchmen are here with that famous
sack which has for years yielded such O
potent influence in California courts and
Legislatures, and is now opening up its
powers on members of Congress. If chiv-
alrous Kentuckians knew of the incubus
and outrage they have imposed upon sister
States they would repeal that Infamous
charter so quick that Huntington would
think that he had been struck with one OF
his big plledrivers."
The card created a sensation to-day and
has set the Kentucky Legislature to inves-
tigating.
The supply of information on the ques-
ton at issue sent from San Francisco has
not been stinted. but not every mem Der
has gone so deep into the real merits of the
question as to fix his conviction for repeal.
Colonel Harrington's interview was, OF
course, read by everybody, and, as he
is here on the ground, responsible
for what he said, and speaking with
the authority of a man holding a pub
lie office in the State of California, his
words had great weight, especially az he
took every opportunity to back up the I'M
preston made by earnest and emphatic
personal interviews with such members as
were steered in his way by some cocoon
spirator.
The colonel said when he first arrived in
Frankfort that he was not here in the in
terests of the Southern Pacific and would
take no part for or against it unless asked
LIS Opl.1lOU, WHlCu ut WOulu give.
He has, however, proven pretty clearly
that he is here principally to lobby in
Huntington's interest. Visiting his wife s
relatives is a secondary matter. He is
making his headquarters during the day
and good part of the night in General
Dukes reception parlors at the Capital
Hotel, where sweet and sour mash and
fragrant cigars. with jolly conversation,
make tempting bats to draw the member
who is to be impressed by personal in
terview with Colonel Harrington.
Colonel Bob Lytle, with his $1,000 claim,
throws little GOODNESS over the colonel
demeanor for awhile, but it is understood
that the matter has been arranged. The
Huntington party thought that the i'm
pressive colonel had the field to himself
and would make many votes.
A kind providence, however, sent H. c.
Hodges to Frankfort at this critical juno

To the Editor of the Register
Grand Rapids, Mich, August 20.-The

Of a fertilizer crop is the chief subject of
thought at this time by farmers in
many States. Reports received from
all parts of Michigan shows that Grim

Crimson clover is an annual, and must
be sown in the proper season; this eX-
tends from the first of August until the
last OF October The seed terminates
very quick and grows very rapidly and
makes q good fall and winter pasture.
II stands the dTOuth better than the
common red clover and will yield dOu-

equals the gourd in the multiplicity of
uses to which it can be put. 1t really
requires so little trained skill or outlay
of tine and labor TO turn it into a va
Tiety of beautiful and serviceable ar
ticles, that it is surprising such little
use is made of it. True, N the South
ern and Western States at least, The

invariable companion of the odd Oaken
bucket that hangs in the we'll" and
that it sometimes shares with thin

the last war families in some parts of
the Southern State found it impossible
10 replace, by purchase, broken house

to use the inventive faculty that seems
inherent N Americans, and they devei-
oped the possibilities Of the gourd to a
surprising extent. l have before me
