spare for this purpose, and they will

they give. 1t may be necessary to re-

variety of smaller flowers, too small to

Summer brings Painted Cup with its
fiery glow, Penstemons and many other

Among the shrubs comes first the
Oregon Grape, Service Berry, Wild
Cherry, Yellow Currant Syringe, the
Ocean Spray and its near cousin with
the Indian name of Shushula, bearing
long successions of delicate, lilac-colored
blossoms. The two last are spirceas,
and well deserve place in the flower
catalogues, as they are far superior to
many of the shrubs sold. On our creeks
are the lovely wild roses and White
Clematis. These are all found in short

light does not require as much water as
the plant near the glass. Sometimes
we do not take into consideration that
the less light plant gets the less rapid

the less frequently it will be necessary
to water. Some amateurs always apply
the same quantity daily, no matter

condition of the soil is. This is all
wrong. l believe that more plants are
killed by overwhelming than in any
other way. The rule of giving water
only when the surface of the soil looks
dry or whitish should be held in strict
adherence. Plants near the glass, or in

will, perhaps, require water daily, but
those not so situated, and those not

Many French and German newspapers
continue to misunderstood. or, ut any rate, to
misstate the attitude Of our country before the
Paris Commission.
The Matin says that under the protocol the
cession OF Porto Rico was in lieu Of a war in
demnity. and Spain ought not to be called upon
to repeat that payment with the Philippines.
In reality. Porto Rico came to us because Spain
could not prevent 1t. Admiral SAMPsoN's fleet
could easily have battered down the defences
OF San Juan. and Gen. MILEs's columns were
sweeping over the island when the protocol
called q halt. Besides. all through the SOUTH
ern part our forces we're hailed as friends.
As to the Philippines. their fate was settled
months before the protocol by DEwEY's victory
in Manila Bay. He sent word to Washington
that he could take the capital at any time, but
he waited for land forces to occupy It. The
HdnburOische Correspondent says that "when
the protocol was signed not a foot OF Philippine
soil was in the hands OF the Americans" 80
that MERRITT's army. which had been for
weeks investing Manila. must have foated In
air. Our forces held the city in sure grip long
before the protocol. and occupied 1t with the
greatest ease before news Of the protocol ar
rived. The four minor Spanish coast garrisons
were obviously the spoils OF our feet whenever
1t should choose to attack them. The Philip
pines are ours by right OF conquest. quite in

The Itest Of conviction on the free-silver

WIN New York Not Resent 1t2

Democratic hope for VAN wYoK has
rested on O brutal supposition that the peo-
pie OF New York were utterly mean and de-
based In spirit. They will make their own
answer on election day.
The Democrats from the first have sneered
at ROOSEVELT as a soldier. In their view,
the war was Of no account anyway, and
New Workers. couldn't feel the thrill Of patri-
otism aroused by a national crisis.
In the second place, said the Democrats,
the public had no interest In the independ-
ence Of the bench. The Tammany outrage
on the judiciary might excite the Bar As
ISOLATION and a few lawyers, but to the
greatmass Of the people, to the common run
Of men, to the poor, whose daily life rarely
led them into a Judges presence, it was q
matter Of indifference. There was not q
keen enough sense Of Justice or a deep
enough love Of liberty among New York
voters to anger them against the punish
ment OF a Judge for upholding the dignity
Of his court.
Americans with a spark Of patriotism in
them or with touch Of common human re-
spect for their fellow men knew better.
The two sentiments which the Demo-
cratic managers were sure did not exist In
New York in sufficient degree to make
themselves felt are here in unsurpassed
force. Admiration for THEODORE RoosE-
WELT a a patriotic defender Of his coun-
try in time of need is as lively In Ave-
nue. A, New York city, and in the heart
Of the A~dirondacks, as it is in any club Of
which the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor Is a member. And love Of Justice
and determination to keep it strong and
uncontamlnated in the courts are as intense
in one portion Of the Empire State as in
another, and in n rank or calling in life
as In another.
There has been a tremendous blunder in
Mr.. CRoKER's insulting estimate OF popu-
lar feeling, and an enormous vote and over
whelming majority for ROOSEVELT on cleo
ton day will show it.

The Creeks and Their Lands.

Returns received at the ONCE Of Indian
Affairs indicate that the ballot taken the
other day among the Creeks resulted in q
majority Of from 900 to 400 for ratifying
the agreement made with the Dawes
Commission to allot the tribal lands
in severalty. The Choctaws and the
Chickasaws accepted provisions for the
same purpose some time ago and the
Seminoles are practically one nation"
with the Creeks, as Agent WISDOM ex-
pressed 1t. so that now the C~herokees are
alone among the five civilized tribes in op-
posing the new movement. Even they are
subject to the mandatory provisions OF the
recent Curtis act; but a popular vote for
severalty allotments Is more satisfactory
and more in accord with the principle OF
home rule.
The annual report just made by the
Dawes Commission tells what has been
accomplished by Its years work. The old
system OF Indian laws and courts in the
Indian Territory has given way, with a few
minor exceptions, to claws corresponding

the allotment OF tribal lands among tho
citizens. and, except among the Chero-
KEGS, on terms agreed to by popular
vote, so that "the many thousands of white
residents in the towns unable heretofore to
obtain title to the land on which they have
built their homes, and sometimes erpen-
sive business houses, can now purchase at
O fair appraisal these lands" Finally, the

why There IL No Democratic Enthusi
nsm.

It IL not surprising that CRoKKR has been
unable to stir the Democratic party to en-
thusiasm In the first campaign In which he
has assumed its active management In this
State. Even In this city the party is cold.
The ratification meeting at Tammany on
Thursday evening was largely attended,
for Tammany has always In order singu-
larry effective machinery for getting to-
gether q crowd Of its followers and depend
ents, but Il was O dull meeting. There was
no Are in 1t, except when the mention Of
BRIAN kindled q fame Of genuine feeling,
and when CRoKER appeared on the platform
before his legions.
Inevitably a campaign which ovades
~studiously the one issue which lnfames the
most passionate sentiment of q party must
be cold. What enthusiasm can DO aroused
by its other issues2
CROKER is likely to get in this city moro
than q hundred thousand voters to favor
his scheme for destroying the Independence
OF the Judiciary but Is that an issue to stir
any heart, except to indignant opposition 2
People may vote for the corruption Of the
1t heart and soul.
1uo uCbuhl WORKING OF inc ttalnoo law
has not provoked any resentment, except
among the brewers moro especially,
which blazes into passionate excitement.
Assaults on the Raines law by the
speakers at the Tammany meeting were
received indifferently by tho house, and
very naturally. 1t is not In human nature
for people to suffer anguish simply because
the dealers Of whom they buy their drinks
are compelled to pay Q tax which yields
eleven millions a year to tho public
revenues.
As to the "canalfrauds.' the attempt Of
Tammany to raise excitement OF the sub
ject Is too absurd to be taken seriously by
oven Its most credulous following. 10 will
not win the vote Of any sane man, nom one
end Of the State to the other. People may
pretend that they vote for vAN WICK to
set the canal matter straight, but they
know very well that not TO his Tammany
managers, but to a man like THEODORE
ROOSEVELT must they look for the good
administration desired. No sensible man,
at the bottom Of his heart. looks on this
canal talk Of the Democratic party, as It
now is controlled. except as pure bosh.
Under such circumstances, all the enthu-
siasm Of the Democratic campaign is arti-
hcial necessarily. There is nothing allowed
in the campaign about which it is possible
