| OUR GOVERNMENT GARDEN SEED.
BY the thoughtfulness of Congressman
Bull, the eaitor Of The News has received
q consignment OF the gov verDment garden
seed. The lot is nicely escorted to include
the germ OF onions, of lettuce, of radishes,
OF squashes, of ruta baga 1.-The last, TO our
| limited agricultural sense sounds like
some sort OF medicine but we aren't {
sure-of tomatoes, of beans, etc. The
lima beans are of course Immediately
| available for succotasb, providing mod est
purchase OF canne1 corn is made. The
balance is at the command OF any OF our
friends vino wish to try little kitchen
gardening this spring or are already en-
gagged in agricultural pursuits and will be
cheerfully distribute to first corners In
accordance with the expressed wish OF
our congressman. The late Henry Whit
man Greene of Button oods, told us that
he once planted his consignment OF gov
ernment garden seed and "all sorts of
things came up. so that he had quite an
agricultural museum as il were. But Secre-
tary Morton, who is opposed to the con-
gressional seed distribution has exerted
himself to use the appropriation which
Congress insists on making, TO the high
est advantage and il is believed that
these seeds are perfectly reliable so that
il you plant the contents of tho lettuce
packet, lettuce will come up and mot
apple trees or rose bushes, for instance.
The government will spend this year
for garden SEED, $4,000 and there il an
APPROPRIATION OF s2O. 900 more for making
tests and other expenses. The appropris-
tion has bought l9.o53, ,s39 packages Of
vegetable seed, 1,ol2, 500 packages of flower
seed and 292, ,925 packages of field seed.
The cost to the post Office of handling
the more than a million pounds OF seed
is estimated at over 100000.
The editor OF the News does not care to
reserve any of this seed for his own use
since his agricultural education has been
confined to reading of the literature
put out by the Rhode Island College of
Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts with
the result that he is profoundly i'm
pressed, not TO say appalled,, by the en-
bsrrassments that surround the occupa-
tion OF farming and the difficulty of reap
ing what you SOW, as illustrated by the |
elaborate provisions prescribed for ell |
sorts of contingencies from fake fertilizer |
with which the innocent farmer il bum |
coed, to bugs and creeping things OF hid
sous mien and terrific Latin names that
seek TO destroy the fruit of honest toll.
not to mention droughts and foods and
too muosc, wet and too much dry and all
sorts OF oiscouraging conditions OF
which We are reliably informed by the
farmers bulletins while the means sug-
gested for com batting them are SO intri-
cate az to compel the belief that nothing
far short of ProyidentiaI intereessien In
behalf Of the farmer can enable him to
raise anything but crop of rocks, at
least in Rhode Island.

1t seems to be asfact that the single
gold standard. as a policy, is not real
izing the expectations of its friends in
the matter of improving Conditions.
We were assured that after the silver
scare was at an end business would pick
up and activity would be resumed in all
branches of commerce and industry. In
fact. it was said that nothing prevented
a restoration of normal conditions ex-
cept the silver craze, which, it was al.
legged, had destroyed public confidence
and created uncertainty and disturb
ance. Nobody now contends that nor
mal conditions have been restored or
that there is any prospect of their early
restoration. Anybody who would make
such a contention would be compelled
to admit that normal conditions are
nothing : o,brag about.
OF course, under ordinary circum-
stances, the fair thing would be to wait
until the new administration had been
afforded an opportunity to put soma
remedial legislation on the statute
book, assuming that legislation is a
good thing for a diseased condition of
business: but the circumstances of the
present case are not ordinary. We
were told that nothing was needed to
restore prosperity but confidence; just
confidence. and that the only way. and
the sure.way, to create confidence was
to elect Mckinley. Nothing was said
about waiting for legislation or even
for the majors Inauguration; his cleo
tion was pledged to do the business.
The Buffalo Times admits that the
election of Mckinley did not cause the
recent bank failures and the general as
signments reported during the past
few weeks, but it insists that neither
has his election verified in the slightest
degree the predictions made by his or
gans and their assistants that conf
dence would be at once restored, gold
would come out from it's hiding places,
mills would reopen, the n of EN-,
ployment would multiply, wages would
rise and peace and plenty be our portion
evermore." Other papers refer to this
matter in similar terms, and this indi-
Gates that general expectation banked

experience at half a dozen other front
doors he gave up that line Of investiga-
ton, and he has often told his friends
since that he was "near clean discour-
aged and beat out. The thought of in
quirin' for my Mary at all them houses
on st. Nicholas avenue" he went on,
made me tired like, and 1 saw clearly
that / couldn't find her that way"
1t was with head between his shout
ders and a very disconsoIate air indeed
that he walked down the avenue. But
before he had gone two blocks his
shoulders Strengthened, his eyes were
again twinkling and his step was ones
more elastic and firm.
An ice wagon was rumbling along
the pavement and a man was standing,
tongs in hand, ON the footboard. Ter
ence noticed that this man seemed ac-
quainted with all the servants who re-
ceived the ice at the area doors. A
moment later he stood beside the man
and the two were soon talking rapidly.
just before Terence dropped of the
footboard the man said:
*No, / don't know no Mary DOMAIN on

their faces, which is mostly humbIy as
