opportunity to test the qualifica-
tions of the commissioners recon-
mended by the committees; and
the executive has it in his power,
should any outrageous transac-
tions take place, to suspend any
improper appointee.
In two years, your people again
will have an opportunity to elect
another county convention, and
the convention can elect another
committee; consequently there is
no great disaster that can come
of the county commissioners in
following the recommendations of
your county committee.
repeat; if it was only one or
two counties, the governor might
be justified in going into said
counties and making an exam
ination of all their little factional
troubles, but when it comes to
twenty. or thirty counties the
work is so peculiar and fraught
with so many difficulties, that af-
ter mature consideration and con-
sultation with many of the best

The Star office force had the
extreme pleasure yesterday of
eating a ripe 80 pound water
melon from the garden Of o. l..
Burdick whose beautiful home is
in the eastern part Of the city. 1t
was as fine a specimen of this fa-
vorite fruit as we ever tasted. 1t
was the first of the season for us
and friend Burdick can rest as
sured that it was heartily relised.
We don't care if he comes again.

Governor BlOxham Adheres to Demo.
cratic Usages and Appoints the
County Commissioners Recon-
mended by the County

County Commissioners Recon-.
mended by the County
Executive Committee.
Governor Bloxham, after care
full consideration, has finally ap-
pointed the men named by the
executive committee as commits
sioners for Marion county.
Messrs. Chitty and Allen be-
longed to the old board and are
true and tried. Theycan be de-
pended upon to do their duty as
prescribed by the law. There
was no opposition to them, but
Messrs. Mcleod, Carney and
Williamson, the new members,
have received their appointment
over the protests of large num-
Der of loyal democrats both in
this and other counties through
out the state. Many, like our
selves, did not believe that they
were the choice of a majority of
democratic voters in their respec-
tive districts and did not hesitate
to express themselves as being
opposed to their appointment by
the governor. In the face of
these protests they have repeat
cdlv declared their loyalty to the
democratic party. They now
have the opportunity to make
good these declarations and show
by their actions that the charges
OF disloyalty were only imagi-
nary. AS party representatives,
selected by a democratic execu-
tive committee and appointed by
a democratic governor, we shall
consider them as true democrats
until we have reason to think
otherwise. In all laudable efforts
to advance the material interests
of Marion county they shall have
our cordial and hearty support
and we sincerely trust that their
work as county officials may be
SO far above suspicion as to re-
buke those who have opposed
their appointment. We have no
fault to find with Governor Blox-
ham in the matter, believing that
under all the circumstances he
acted for the best interests of all
concerned. We take the liberty
to quote from a recent letter re-
ceived from him which explains,
and we believe fully iustifies his
action in making the appoint
ments. He says:
eff it were only one county
that was to be dealt with, there
might be reasons that would in
duce the appointing power to &c
outside and make selections fol
county commissioners; but when
you remember that there are
forty-five counties in the state
and a large number of them IL
the same condition that yours is
with the exception that the fac
tions differ in various counties, yol
readily see what immense Difficult
ties the executive would have il
an effort to furnish county com
missioners under such trying cir
cumstances.

committee in one county, | hav'
got to cut loose from them in ;

would bring on such an amour
of labor, friction and disagreeabl

would have to participate in.

1t Broke His Heart.

White of Kentucky, while speak
er of the house in the Twenty sew
enth congress, was so pressed with
business that, when he had to deliv-
er his valedictory, he got one of
those men who are always on hand
to make a little money to write his
address. 1t was handed him just a
little while before the time he had
to deliver it, and he put it into his
pocket without reading it. When
the time came, he rose, and, slowly
unfolding the manuscript, read the
address. 1t was very brilliant, but
it was Aaron Burr s famous valedic-
tory to the senate. The speaker new,
er recovered from the shock. He
went home, was taken ill, and it is
supposed he killed himself for
shame. San Francisco Argonaut.

WANTED-A LITTLE GIRL.

Where have they gone to-the little girls
With natural manners and natural curls,
Who love their dollies and like their toys
And talk of something besides the boysP
Little old women in plenty find,
Mature in manners and old of mind;
Little old fiirtS who talk of their '.beaus'
And vie with each other in stylish clothes;
Little old bellies, who at nine and ten
Are sick of pleasure and tired OF men,
Weary of travel, of balls. of fun
And find no new thing under the sun.
Once, in the beautiful long ago,
6ome dear little children used to know
Girls who were merry as lamb at play
And laughed and rollicked tho livelong day
They thought not at all Of the style of their
clothes;
They never imagined that boys were "beaus;''
"Other girls brothers. and ',mates' were
they,
Splendid fellows to help them play.
Where have they gone to? II you see
One Of them anywhere, send her to me.
would give medal of purest gold
To one of these dear little girls of old,
With an innocent heart and an open smile
Who knows not the meaning of 'firt" or
"style."

FEEDING THE SOIL.

The trouble with most farmers is
they are eternally taking from the sol
and never adding to it. There mr.,
many ways to feed it. Use all tn,
stable manure you can get, haul out il
November and pillow under, SO thai
1T will not rot through the winter
But there are cheaper ways of feeding
tEan with stable manure. The las
time you pillow the corn, SOW GOV
peas. cut and shock the fodder, which
makes good feed for cattle and horses
Just before the frost turn the pea vine,
under. This improves the land greatly
for next years crop. besides having
ground in cool shape next spring.
Follow oats with sowed corn. I'm,
mediately after oats are cut, break the
ground, and COW about one bushel o.
corn per acre, which will come up i'm.
mediately aud grow fast Let it gei
about waist high, put a good heavy
chain on your pillow aud turn under the
corn, which will soon rot. This can
be sown to wheat, or back to oats il
the spring. or to corn. Another ex,
cellent way is to SOW rye the last time
you pillow the corn. This will make
one of the finest fall and winter past
ures. Piow under in the spring if you
want to plant back to corn. Or if to
wheat, let it get up ready to head out
and plow under. BE sure not to lei
the seed mature, or it will ruin the
wheat. Try some of the above plans,
and you will be we'll paid for your
trouble. -Coleman's Rural World.

NATIVE SPECIMENS rnrrrnnrp.

A generation ago it was quite the
fashion IN this country to plant for.
eign trees, both for shade and for
profit. Quito n number Of plantations
were made of Scotch larch, Austrian
pine and other trees of foreign growth.
This was especially tho case with some
plantations in Massachusetts,, and the
use of foreign trees was recommended
by some of the higher authorities in
this section. The result hos proved a
serious mistake. Tie foreign trees
have not been thrifty or profitable.
The native trees have far outstripped
them In growth, in vigor and in profit.
The fact is We have greater variety
OF native trees in this country than
any other nation can boast, and it
would seem to be far better policy to
develop our own native resources,
rather than to attempt doubtful ex-
perIments with foreign trees. Even
those experts who recommended the
planting OF foreign trees in years gone
by have withdrawn that recommends
ton, and now prefer the native speci-
mems. Boston Cultivator.

cIsrERNs UNDER BARNS.

Every barn will she'd from its roof
enough water for all the stock that can
be kept Oh the feed it contains or the
cattle it will shelter. If this water
is duly conducted into cistern in the
barn basement, aud filtered before
using, it is much the best water the
stock can have for drink. In the base.
ment the water will never be down TO
freezing temperature, which is an i'm
portant matter, as every degree of
cold has to be warmed to animal heat
by the carbonaceous food that the
animal has digested. If it is mich
