Southern California, Jan. /. - Fifty
at San Pasquale a battle which, though
it could not boast of large numbers en-
gagged, yet resulted in a decisive victory
fol American arms. Men are living here
today who can tell you of the encounter
at San Pasquale between the SCARED
veterans of General Kearny's COM
mand and the California cavalry under
Pico, the Mexican.
Kearny himself was wounded, sew
eral other officers killed. and the enemy
suffered severely. But still at the close
of the battle though the opposing force
had retreated, it was between the Amer
leans and their base of supplies at San
Diego, 80 miles away. Stockton was
there and would send re-enforcements

took the hazardous task of informing
Stockton of his comrades peril. They
cunningly flanked the cavalry, reached
San Diego safely and had the satisfac-
tion of seeing a company of marines
start for Kearny's relief.

wrested California from the grasp of the
Mexican, the Native Sons of this state

to give each square foot of an acres sur
face eleven or twelve seeds. A well de-
veloped clover plant will occupy fully
one foot square. Now it must be
evident, when We recognize that from s
to 10 pounds are ordinarily cast on one
acre, that there is an enormous waste of
this most costly of staple farm seeds.

ted Tor endurance and terminating
capability, The writer has in mind a
farmer who never sows over three
pounds per acre, and he seldom fails to
have a stand superior to his neigh
bors.
Red clover is an exceedingly hardy
plant, and when in seed leaf, with it's
root firmly and fully in the earth, such
frosts as fell in April rs, 81 and March
10Th, '94, do not injure in the least. But
then We SOW on the surface, rely on
Providence to cover, and when frost,
followed by bright sun, finds the seed
sprouted, it is, of course, killed.
Now clover is a catyledOnous plants,
that is its plumule penetrated the earth,
and when established, the seed itself is
pushed above the surface forming seed
leaves. While these nOurish the plant
in its infancy, the process is justinverse
with the grain of wheat, that performs
the same office beneath the surface.
The design of nature is to cover the first
kind of seed and then set up germiua-
ton, and after a little carry aloit the
nurturing organization. 1t is here that
our practice and natures process differ.
and very much to our disadvantage.
1t is owing to the manner OF our sowing
that ten pounds are ordinarily used,
when TWO or three would suffice.
'Hayseed" faithfully depicts the di-
vergence of opinion among competent
farmers as to the best time of sowing
This divergence does not, however,
spring up in any law, or fixed facts
governing, but purely in a calculation
of the chances, favoring or otherwise,
at the various seasons of sowing.
Now as a matter of fact, in view Of
the great importance OF clover in Ken

to recognize the clearly evident require
ments of a seed like clover. AMI conform

which, after being braided, are shaped
and generally edged with a narrow
black velvet ribbon. Linen crash is also
used for this kind of hat. The most
striking of all are those OF white or

Rich ribbons of velvet, silk, satin and

WHERE is MARK HANNA?
Omaha (Neb.) World. ]

Where is Marx Hanna in the situa-
ton now involving the honor of this
government? Mark Hanna is the rec
ognized leader of the Republican party.
He is the man who is suppose to be the
successors of Sumner and other Repub
lican leaders who demonstrated their
claims to leadership by standing up in
the United States Senate and defend
ing the national interests. Four weeks
ago the attention of the world was riy-
eted upon Mark Hanna, because he was
recognized as the leader OF the polit-
zeal organization now dominant in the
affair of the country. But the Senate
proceedings relative to the Maine disas-
ter do not show that this greatests Re
publican of them ali had anything to
offer in this national crisis. BILLY"

some of Hanna's champions regarded as
a huge joke, was conspicuous by his
activity and his determined stand. VOL
colt. whose international monetary
conference hobby has been practically
destroyed 10y Hanna, so far as this adj
ministration is concerned, was con-
spicuous as a Senatorial advisor. Lodge
and Hawley, Plat of Connecticut, and
even Hale, SPANS most partial friend,
were conspicuous in the Senate discus
sion. But the voice and counsel Of
Mark Hanna we're conspicuous by their
absence. 1t is not probable that even
if Mr.. Hanna were disposed to give
good counsel in this crisis that he is
capable of doing so. 1t is very prOba-
BILE that he is not disposed to give any
counsel that would not be agreeable to
the stock brokers, who have greater
concern for the condition of Spanish Sc
curties than they have for the condi-
ton of the national honor. The situation
is too grave to permit of consideration
of any of its features from partisan
standpoint, but in so grave q situation
it is a patriotic duty to impress upon
the public mind lessons which, when
mastered by the people, will be of adj
vantage to the public welfare. The les
son in this instance is that no political
organization claiming to have concern
for the best interests of a nation can
afford to recognize as a leader in the
Senate a man who is either incapable or
unwilling to give patriotic counsel in a
great national crisis In the serious sit
uation now confronting the American
people the rank and file of the Repub-
lican party will learn what they seem
to have failed to learn before-that they
have been paying homage to an alleged
leader, who is incapable of manifesting
genuine concern for the honor and dig
nifty of the nation.
