MORRISON THE MAN.
The Distin guished ILiinoisan and the ID EN-
ocratic Presidential Choice.

ocratic Presidential Choice
After the meeting in Chicago the
other day OF the leading democrats
having in charge the campaign for
Hon. William Il. Morrison for the
presidential nomination. Hon. Ben
L. Cable was Intercepted by a
Chronicle reporter, and he said that
those who attended it were very anx-
ious to bring about the nomination
OF Col. W. X. Morrison for president.
He said Col. Morrison's friends
desired to know before any serious
effort was made in his behalf whether
or not he would receive the solid
support of the Illinois delegation in
the national convention.
81 can state upon authority" Mr.
Cable continued. THAT New York
will not present a candidate for the
presidency to the national democratic
convention this year. Senator Hill
will not be candidate nor will Mr.
Whitney. AS matter of fact | do
not expect to see any prominent can
didatc from the east. In my opin-
ion the nomination will be given to
Col. Morrison, of this state. or to
John q. Carlisle, of Kentucky. |
tn they will be the leading candi-
dates and l am confident that with
proper effort on the part of Illinois
democracy Morrison will be nomi-
mated.
IL shall leave for Washington the
latter part of this week and came to
Chicago today to meet Mr.. Forman.
Judge Goodrich and Mr.. Spangler
were present at the meeting by nv
invitation. / appreciate the fact
that. owing to 4 division of senti-
ment on the money question, the
democratic party in Illinois is not in
rs good condition as it should be-
Everybody understands my views on
the financial issue, but | can say as
democrat that | am ready to make
any honorable concession to unite
the party.
''Of course we appreciate the fact
that the silver democrats have
charge OF the state organization and
that the question Of presentin 9
Col. Morrison as n candidate for
president must be determined largely
by their action in the state conven-
ton. For my part, / would be glad
to see the financial issue ignored bv
the state convention. Democrats
who are true to the party orgauiza-
ton must accept the declaration OF
the national convention on the finan.
cial and all other issues. / have
great hopes that an understanding
can be arrived at by which Col
Morrison may be given the solid
support OF the Illinois delegation a:
a candidate for president"

HEAVY INSTEAD OF LIGHT.
The Idea of the Trainers of the Davenport
illuminating Ordinance.

illuminating Ordinance.
At the adjourned meeting of the
Davenport city council that was held
Yesterday afternoon the proposed
ornidance under which the Peoples
Light company may assume its con-
tract for lighting the city of Daven-
port for the next 25 years was pre-
sented, read and laid over to a
special meeting to be held tomorrow
afternoon for final action. At that
time the representatives of the COM
panv state that they will be ready to
say whether or not they will accept
the ordinance.
VIII Need IrracIng Up.
How the Peoples company will
feel toward the ordinance is Of
course uncommon. but from ap-
pearance it would be a safe predic-
ton that there is no possible danger
of the company bringing it over to
this side of the river-not in the
present condition of the ice-and
that much will be source of Infinite
satisfaction to the people Of the Iowa
side, assuredly. The Davenport
people apparently have been under
the deiusion that they are dealing
with a heavy Instead of light sub
ject, rs it is so overwhelmingly
loaded down with clauses that its
back will be broken under the pres
sure if it is not handled gently all
around.

The people who will soon throng
our mining camps and the rich
grain and pasture districts of this
great Northwest will make de-
mand for all the vegetable that can
be grown in this little valley of
sunshine. An annual crop Of
melons, tomatoes, potatoes, cab
bage, onions or any one of dozen
other crops will pay profit equal
to the first cost of the land on
which it grows. Vegetables more
than fruits defy competition from
shippers. The crisp. fresh pro-
duct of the garden is the only per
feet vegetable.
The equine and bovine species
are the associates of civilized man.
The comfort of the horse and the
cow are requisites of perfect
home. The culture of forage
plants is part of the work of
every agriculturist On the irri-
gated farm i'll the Lewiston Valley
alfalfa can be grown to perfection
An acre cultivated to this luxur-
liant plant will produce crop with
a feed value of one hundred dol
lars; or sufficient to feed two COWS
or two horses all the year. Eight
tons of hay can he grown on one
irrigated acre. Alfalfa is valu-
able crop for the reason that it fills
an important place in mixed farm
ing. The dairy business has never
received requisite attention III this
valley. This forage crop solves
the problem of supplying this de-
mand of trade with profit to the
producer. Alfalfa is also the best
known green feed :or hogs aud
also for chickens. 1t is a forum
ate acquisition in the science OF
mixed farming Other forage
plants yield correspondingly
Another advantage of a perfec,
climate exists in the fact that thu
cultivator has the whole range OF
crops from which t" choose a
speciality

A kindergarten Opened.

But few people know that Kin
dergarten has been opened in Lew
iston by Miss Margaret Guycr.
This method of mental culture is
an innovation if not a revolution in
primary teaching. The city of
Spokane is noted for her Kindergar-
tens The advantages of the OBJ
ject lessons to the least of pupils is
observed in that place.
The kindergarten opened here
the first of March has been quite
successful. There are twelve pu-
pills ranging from three to seven
years old. There are two lessons
day; two hours in the morning
and afternoon each.
Many persons who have given
the subject much thought have the
impression tha; the kindergarten
is mere play room. While Others
imagine the mind OF the child is
unduly stimulated. The aim of tho
kindergarten is not to stimulate thu
mind but to direct and guide the
mental activities by means of ths
gifts and occupations. One O
Frocbel's help notices is "W'
