hear the doleful account given 10y
Senator Proctor of the Starving Con-
centrados in Cuba will speculate as
to the amount Of his contribution.
We venture that more money went
the other day from the remote county
of Tazewell in the mountains of
Southwest Virginia to the relief of
the victims of the instruction than
this whole Senatorial excursion party
contributed.

Government Seed Testing.

The act of Congress making az
propriations for the Department OF
Agriculture for the fiscal year end
ing June 30th, 1898, under the
heading, "Botonical Investigations
and Experiments, Division Of Bot
any," contains the following clause:
The Secretary of Agriculture is
hereby authorized to purchase
samples Of seed in open market,
test sane, and when found not up
to standard he may, at his discre-
ton, publish the results Of these
tests, together with the names of
the seedsmen by whom the seed
are raised.
The purchase of seeds for the
tests authorized under this act will
begin July 1st, 1898. 1t will be
the aim of the Department Of Ag-
riculture in carrying out this law
to put stop to the sale OF seed so
poor as to make probable posi-
tive injury and loss to the pnrchas-
er, thus giving protection on the
one hard to the farmer and gard
ner aud on the other hand to the
honorable seedsmen and seed deal
er.
Further information, including
a table Of the standards of purity
and termination and list of the
most injurious seeds likely to oc-
cur in commercial seed, may be
obtained from the Department up

THE BOurGOyne Disaster.
DAILY Item.)

The New York Herald of Sun
day contains this startling an
nouncement
''The French consul general, as
a result of his inquiry into the loss
of the Bourgoyne, exonerated the
crew."
This means that the brutal ruf.
fans who, with fists, oars and
knives beat down and sent to an
awful death nearly three hundrt d
helpless women and children, are
to escape all punishment for the
cruel and atrocious murders COM
mitted on board the French liner.
As these revolving and inhuman
deeds were perpetrated upon the
high seas, there is but slender
hope that the investigation set on
foot by the Nova Scotian authori-
ties will avail to do more than to
fix the moral responsibility for this
horrible destruction Of human
life upon the cowardly brutes who
purchased safety at such terrible
cost.
1t seems hardly credible that the
hasty, informal and perfunctory
investigation which has resulted in
so indefensible a finding will be
permitted to 90 unchallenged. 1t
is due to the safety of the great
army of ocean travellers and to
the memory Of the slaughtered in
nocents who were thus barbarously
hurled into eternity, that the pros
ecuting officers of the Federal
Government should institute a
rigorous and exhaustive examina-
ton into all the miserable circum-
stances Of this revolving affair. If
indictments cannot be supported
for want of territorial jurisdiction,
at least the facts can be iudicialIy
determined, and the French Min
istry, il itapproves the monstrous
decision of its consul general, can
be held up to the judgment and
subjected to the contumely and
contempt of the civilized world.
