PUBLICITY ACCOMPANIES REPUB.
LICANISM.

Further queries put by I'm
quirer," which appear in anothe
column, seem to indicate that h,
does not draw a distinction be
tween a republic and a form O.
government conducted on the prin-
ciples of close corporation. In
the first place, he should remem-
Der that in true republic there
should be nothing, outside occa-
sional dealings with foreign pow
ers, that is not open to public in
spection, either through the medium
of the Legislature, the newspapers,
or the individual who may take
sufficient interest in the affairs of
the country to make personal in
vestigation.
The books of the tax office con-
tain a statement of the values of
the real estate and personal prop
erty owned by every person or
corporation in the country, and it
is safe to say that the tax books in
this country do not contain a more
detailed statement of the private
affairs OF our property owners than
do those of any town, county or
state in the United States. In
many cities and states of the
larger republic which Hawaii is
endeavoring to copy, the amount
of taxes paid by each person and |
is required to be pub
lished in at least one newspaper each
year. By this means the people
know who is bearing the burden of
taxation and they can also form an
ldea whether the weight of that
burden is properly divided. We
admit that considerable informa-
ion can be obtained from the tax
oooks," but unless the figures that
stand on the books are such that
he interested individuals are
ashamed of them, we can see no
'eason why any one should object to1
heir publicity or how they could
,e used to the disadvantage of any
me.
If we are to have true form of
epublicanism-a government of,
" and for the people-there is alb
olutely nothing on the textbooks
+ any other books relating to our
Internal affairs that should not be

ensive and detailed as any person

PLAN OF THE ILLINOIS MACHINE
To Choose n United States Senator
to Succeed Palmer.

Chicago, June 26.-Although the formal
opening Of the campaign In this state
is nearly two months away, the republic
secure control of the state patronage
at the expense Of the head Of the ticket.
Realizing the fact that Captain Tan
ner, the republican nominee for governor,
has a hard row to hoe in the race of the
Observation-Disclosures union support
of Governor Altgeld, the word has gone
out thus far in advance that the nomi-
nees of the national ticket are to be
traded where possible for votes for Tan
ner and for candidates for the legislature
who will pledge themselves in advance to
vote for the choice of the machine for
United States senator to succeed General
John M. Palmer, whose term expires
next year The first open manifestation
of the plan of the machine occurred q
few days ago, when a democratic cand-
date for the lower house of the legsla-
ture, who was accused by the republicans
in the last assembly of having received
brides, and narrowly escaped Indictment
republican bosses, after he had pledged
himself to vote for their candidate for the
senatOrship.
To offset this situation a conference of
anti-ring republicans from all parts of the
state is to be held in this city within
two weeks, when a reform organization
will be perfected for the purpose of hold
ing the state in line with the Mckinley
column, and at the same time deposing
the ring from power.

A French Idea.

There is an old saying that "they do
those things better in France" Here is
case in point. 1t is alleged by recent
traveller in that country that in nearly
all rural districts one meets sign boards
telling the public what animals and in
scots are of use to the farmer and fruit
grower, and should not be harmed. The
following is a sample of what these sign
boards contain;
'::This board is placed under protection
of the common sense and honesty of the
public.
"Hedgehogs live upon mice, snails and
wire worms-animals injurious to agri-
culture. Don't kill q hedgehog.
"Toads help agriculture - destroy
twenty to thirty insects hourly. Don't
kill toads.
"Moles destroy wire worms, larvae and
insects injurious to the farmers. No
trace of vegetables ever found In their
stomachs; do more good than harm.
Don't kill moles.
"Cockchafer and it's larv8-deadlY
enemy to farmers; lay seventy to 100
eggs. Kill the cockchafer.
"Birds-Each department of France
loses yearly m any millions of francs by
injury done by insects. Birds are the
only enemy capable of battling with
them vigorously; they are great helps to
farmers. Children don't take birds
nests. "-Exchange.

A One Time Waste Product.

Every farmer, after he has gathered
his crops, has considerable amount of
grass come up on the land, which often
makes good hay crops. This hay has
been tried and found to be excellent
feed for animals. Heretofore it has
been allowed to go to waste. 1t will pay
the farmers we'll to cut and save this
crop of hay. There is good sale for 1t
and it will pay him to feed it to his own
stock. A little labor will enable him to
lay up store of it that will feed his
stock and cattle for a considerable length
Of time. Economy consists in utilizing
products that are going to waste, and If
the people will look around them they
will easily see that large per cent of
the crops grown in this section are
absolutely going to vast. If some means
of utilizing these crops can be devised
the country would be more prosperous
and more money would be saved to the
farmers.-Ki Valley.

Support for Sweet Peas.

A bed of sweetpeas about tree trunk
can be trained very satisfactory in this
manner. A stout bit Of cord tied about
the trunk some three feet from the
ground, and from equal spaces about it
strings are carried out and down to the
ground, where they are secured by pegs
driven into the ground, these pegs form
ing perfect circle about the tree.
When the plants have secured hold
upon the strings and have come to bios
soming, the effect will be very pleasing
and attractive.

Treatment of Oallas.

Treatment of Oallas.
Our treatment of callas in the SUNNI er
differs so much from that commonly ad-
vocated that | could call attention to it
once more. Everyone seems so sure that
a Gala must rest through the summer,
that last year l thought l would try the
two methods side by side, from the same
stock of callas and same age bulbs. The
one that rested looks fairly we'll, has had
two blossoms this winter, and about as
large as the average Gala seen In the
window; has stood side by side with the
others, and received the same care and
heat, and by actual measurement the
stalk at base is five inches against seven
inches of the other Gala. Height of
plaut is twenty nine inches against three
feet and three inches of others. Length
Of largest leaf ten inches against four"
teen inches.
Blossoms have all been smaller; none
at present so can't give measure; the
other blossoms measure six by five inches
and seven by six inches, on an average.
The other callas have bloomed all win
ter, having two buds or blossoms on the
same plant at once. Last year there
were three and four blossoms and buds
at once, and on seven callas there were
forty blossoms, by actual count, through
the season.
Hence, l give this conclusion, that my
callas at least do better if they are taken
from the crooks about the last of May.
Separate all the little plants from the old
ones, and plant in good, rich garden soil;
give plenty of water, and just let them
grow to their hearts content. The
leaves will probably nearly all turn yell
low and die off, but the roots are getting
the extra growth, and after awhile the
stalks will begin to increase in size, and
by fall you will have a plant that will
be worth taking up. They should then
be carefully lifted and potted, without
disturbing roots more than can be helped
and buds will be your reward, sometimes
in three weeks from reporting. 1t seems
reasonable that after a Gala has bloomed
all winter, something should be done to
send the strength back to the roots and
give them good start and stimulus to
give another winters work. If person
was overworked and worn out from long
confinement indoors, which would seem
the most sensible, put him to sleep for
two months, or give him a tonic and
send him into the fresh air? Will he
gain faster to be put in the shade with
out water, or feed him all that his sys-
tenn requires, and drink whenever
thirsty?
To flower lover, plants are little lives,
loved and tended, and he will succeed
best who studies their characteristics
and puts a lot of common sense with
laid-out rules of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

the Secretary before the State Horticultural
Society,"
To the members Of the Florida State HoF'-
tlcuHuYaI Society,".
Having been assigned duty with the
Committee on Ornamentals, l have
thought best to give an outline Of MY
practical experience with ornamental
hedge plants, and will speak Of tpe
Ligustrum California;, described by
Henderson, as "a species Of recent inT,>o-
duction," as shrub remarkable for the
beauty of it's foliage. The leaf is CON-
siderably larger than that Of the common
privet, of very dark, waxy green on the
upper surface, and the under surface
pea green. The plant is Of rapid growth.
Singly upon the lawn it is of great
beauty, while its adaptation for hedge
is perfect. There are so many plants
that are a success in the north, and
prove failures in the south, that it gives
me real pleasure in saying that eighteen
years cultivation of this plant more
than justifes the above description by
Henderson.
Commencing with single plant, from
it's cuttings soon had plants by the
thousand and beautiful hedges by the
hundred yards. Grown singly and
slightly trimmed annually to any desired
form, it has abundance Of white bloom
In early spring, which is beautiful and
fragrant, and choice food for the
honey bee in it's season. Closely
trimmed, in solid hedge, it rarely
shows any bloom, but always presents
beautiful appearance with it's evergreen
foliage. On rare occasions the foliage
is injured by exceptional frosts. The
plant itself is never hurt by frost or
insects, nor is it subject to dying out
| in SPOTS, like some otherwise valuable
hedge plants.
In preparing to plant hedge with
this plant, the soil should be we'll broken
up with the pillow, and liberal quantity
of we'll rotted stable manure thoroughly
worked into the soil. Cuttings of the
the last seasons growth, twelve inches
long. may be planted in double rows,
one foot apart each way. The cuttings
should be of medium thickness, planted
about eight inches in the ground, and
planted before the spring growth COM
mences. 1t would be well to plant some
spare cult ings, that may be rooted at
the same time, to take the place of any
that should fail to grow. Tt is best to
trim very closely for the first two years
to cause the plants to branch near the
ground. The plant being strictly orna-
mental, with no thorns, it must be pro-
tected from cattle, horses and goats.
When grown singly, it should be
thoroughly fertilized when planted, and
annually trimmed to any shape or form
desired. This trimm ming should be done
when growth is checked by dry weather,
about midsummer, so as not to destroy
the bloom buds, which will mature later
in the fall for spring blooming. To keep
up thrifty growth, some surface appli-
cation of fertilizer should be applied as
needed, from year to year, and with
reasonable care, we may be sure of salts
