Tn. Insult to o.Ferrnn and Buckner


To the Editor of The Evening Star:
7 have been an ardent admrer of Candi-
date BRYAN. and wished him elected, and
have always voted the democratic ticket,
but 1 must confess that the boy orator has
made me dizzy by continually arraying
the poor in battle against the rich. The
moor man obtains his living by being en-
pIoyed by the rich, and could not do with
out his aid but the rich man can do with
out the poor Ninety-nine per cent OF the
rich in this country commenced as poor
men, and the cause of their riches was
that of a Saturday night. instead of spend
ing their weeks wages in the bar room, they
went home to their families and provided for
them instead Of the whisky dealer, and
laid by their money for future speculation.
But sir, in one second after reading the
papers of today, l jump from the silver
into the gold camp! Why? Some of the
reasons are above, but the last Is the insult
to Gov O. Ferrall and Gen. Buckner in Rich
mond last night by set OF Bryan ruff1ans
and who were treated with outrageous dis
respect / fought under Gen. Buckner at
Fort Donelson, and he Is a good man.
have always been great admirer of Gov.
O'Ferrall, and voted for him; he was a
brave soldier in the war. and fought all his
| life in the democratic party; he has beer
honored for many offices in Virginia, and
| is the head of the state, and therefore de-
nounce this Watson-COxey-Altgel Tfllman
party. and its leader, w. J. Bryan, who
| four years ago bolted the democratic party,
ran as populist for Congress and voted
| for Weaver for President, against the regu-
| lar nominee, Grover Cleveland, statesman
! and patriot. 1 am en- my way west but
will return to vote against BRYAN.

DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY.

In spite OF binding wind and sand
storm mixed with little rain. on Mon
day night thirty -four voters assembled
at the hall for the purpose of electing
nine delegates to the county democratic
convention. On the notion to instruct
the delegates for free silver coinage
there were but two votes in the mega
i've, which is exactly lG to /, and the
proper ratio.
Now that Alabama. Colorado, Dis
trict Of Columbia Missouri, Nebraska,
Oregon, Tennessee, Washington and
White Oaks have come up fIr the white

Chicago and with ringing resolutions
and Morgan and Bryan, Boies and

for president and vice president, the

MINES OF NEW MEXICO.

The EAGLE has received "The Mines
of New Mex o." pamphlet of eighty
pages issued under the direction of the
New Mexican Bureau of immigration.
This work has been compiled and cd
tied by Ex-Governor Edmond G.. Ross,
who, it is needless to say, has done his
work with care and ability. The in
formation it contains concern
ing the mines and mining industry
Of the territory is reliable as that sent
ont 10y the bureau should always be
and ought to be placed in the hands of
thousands of people who are seeking
mining investments. Gov. Ross is en-
titled to much credit for the thorough
manner in which he has treated the
su ject which embraces so much of
New Mexico's natural but largely un.
developed wealth and holds so large a
share of her prosperity. This pamphlet
was printed by the New Me,rican estab
lishmpnt and from this fact it res with
out say ing that it is well executed.

SOME ORCHARD EVILS.
How to Protect Young Fruit Trees from
Mice and Rabbits.

The following directions are issued
by the Pardue univ ersity agricultural
experiment station:
Young fruit trees are very apt TO be
injured during the winter by mice and
rabbits gnawing the bark. This is es-
pecally true if the orchard has been
neglected during the summer season.
y heavy growth of grass or weeds about
the trees makes excellent nests for mice
during the winter. and where rubbish
heaps have been allowed to accumulate
in the orchard, especially if it is near
c forest, rabbits will almost invariably
congrcgate Under these conditions
the young trees will almost certainly
saffer from the ravages of one or both
of these pests. 1t is important there
fore that this matter be attended to at
once.
There are various remedies recon-
mcnded for these evils, the first and
most successful of which is clean cul-
tivaiion. If this has been followed,
then remove all loose mulch, dead grass
and rubbish of various kinds from the
immediate vicinity of the base of the
trees. This will destroy the nesting
places of the mice and will go far to-
ward protecting the trees from in jury.
Then, in addition to the above, make
smooth, compact mound of earth, u
foot high, about the base of the trees,
lust before the ground freezes. These
two precautions will be all that is neces-
sary to insure protection against mice.
Rabbits are not SO likely to iniura
trees where there are other small plants,
such as young grapevines or nursery
stock, in the immediate vicinity of the
orchard. as they seem to delight in
cutting off the young and tender
branches in preference to gnawing the
bark of older trees. It is ,lways safe,
however, to protect the trees, and a
favortc method is to wrap the trunks
with closcly-woven wire screen, such
as is used for screen doors.

VINES NEAR DWELLINGS.
How to Secure Growth of Plants Which
Seem without Life.

Seem without Life.
1t is often difficult task to get vines
started which have been planted near
dwellings,. The plants stand still for
Il long time in many cases. 1t is fire.
qucntly the case that the soil is poor in
such locations Excavations for the
cellar have been placed there, often of
sand or clay, in which no plant can
thrive. This must be made right by
digging out barrowful or two of this
rubbish and filing in with good soil.
Another, and perhaps greater reason
for this poor growth is that the build
lngs keep away the rain from certain
quarters, causing the soil to become 80
dry that nothing can grow in it. When
this is the trouble it can be remedied
to great cXtcut by procuring vines
Of some length of stem, that they may
be planted some distance away from
the wall. Let it be Virginia crecpcr,
for instance. Get a vino with n stem
two feet or more in length. Plant it
two feet from the wall, opening a trench
from it to the wall in which the shoots
are to be laid and covered over with
earth. This will bring the point Of
The vine close to the wall, up which
it will soon run. The root being two
feet away from the wall will meet with
more moisture than if closer to it, and
the shoots which have been carried
along under ground will make root in
time pushing along the growth fast
In this way, with the roots IN good soil,
many a vine has been given good start,
which otherwise would have grown but
little or have died out completely. 1t
is au excellent plan, and one not often
| thought of.--Prairie Farmer.
