Some American RaSCalS.

1t has been good many years since we lett
the practice OF the law for other things we like
much better, but it used to be criminal offense
for a man or syndicate to buy up all--or large
portion-of the wheat, coal, corn, pork OF 9th
er products of the country necessary 10 sustain
life, for the purpose OF raising the price and
compelling the poor to pay profit OF million
or millions to the man syndicate that does it.
Under the law, as used to read it, my i'm
preston is that this Letter, lr., who has been
buying up the wheat, would have been held Ii
able t, be sent to prison
it is high time that this kind of business be
stopped and should not wonder if some such
man as the late Henry George OF New York
city, after looking into the matter, might make
it hot for some of these rascals in this world,
saying nothing of the next.
although man of moderate means, would
cheerfully contribute fifty dollars to such re-
suit.
If the old laws do not apply, then one OF the
first things which ought to be done is for all our
state legislatures and congress to pass new
ones, making such offenses above described
punishable with five years Imprisonment ior the
first olfcnse, and Imprisonment for life for the
second The most dangerous anarchists We have
in This country to day are the rascas who buy
up on n large scale the neCess lrles OF lie to
make The POOR pay high prices; and SO aod mil
lions of dollars to the millions they already

THE SECOND DISTRICT.
Has Done Good Work for the the Cause and
is a Good Campaigner.

Some months ago the Journal stated that John
P. St. John would be a candidate for congress
in the Second district. 1t is announced
by reliable persons who are interested in the
matter that Mr.. ST. John is preparing state
ment which will be issued to the people cf the
district within a few days, requesting them to
support him for the nomination.
Recently the Lawrence Jehersonian has tax
ell up the proposed candidacy of the eN-G)ver-
MOI and has been booming him strongly for the
place The sentiment of the district seems, for
some reason unexplained, opposed to the re-
nomination OF Mason Peters, the present CON
gresham, and the ST. John boom is being re-
ceived with favor all over the district.
1t is understood that St. John would have
the support of the state administration If he
becomes candidate

why Peters should be turned down, but St. John
would be the best man the fusionists could nom
mate for congress. He is a strong campaigner
and hard fighter"
resident of Miami county, said; 81 do not
know what will be done in this matter but
am willing to stand by the nominee in the Sec
ond district If it be St. John will be salts
fed. He is an excellent man, vigorous cam
paigrer, and is perhaps the strongest man in
the district. In fact, know of no better man
who could be nominated.
Charles Hogue, of the state treasuter's office,
who lives at Oathe, and has been Heighbor
of St. Johns for many years, said: est. John
is by all odds the strongest man in the Second
district. He is popular all over the district
among members of all parties, and his we'll
known feeling for silver as against the sound
money pl"tlorm of the opposition would bring
hundreds of votes from the other parties.
While ST. John cannot be said to b. Populist
in every sense of the word, yet | am for him for

Populiss could find no better man. NTH St.

achieve an overwhelming victory"

well to observe the following precau-
tionary measures, which will mitigate
much Of the loss; 1st--That the seed
shall be taken from wheat fields free
from smut. 2d-Sow on soil not pre-
vlously infected with smut spores.
Treatment Of seed. Since the plants
are infected by this fungus in the very
early stages of their growth, 1t is evil
dent that no treatment of the plants
In the field will prevent the develop
ment of the smut, hence the necessity
OF treating the seed, The ordinary hot
water treatment, as recommended for
the sinking smut Of wheat and the
loose smut OF oats has not proved an
efficient preventive of the loose smut
of wheat, hence II has not been en-
ployed by the station to any extent.
A recent bulletin (U. s. Department OF
Agriculture, Farmers Bulletin No. 75),
by Swingle, however prescribes q
method of hot water treatment for the
loose smut Of wheat which, 1t Ia
claimed, has proved efficient. This
method, which is to receive thor
ough trial at the station this coming
season, is as follows: 1.-THE seed, en-
closed In coarse gunny sacks or open
baskets, Is soaked four hours In cold
water. II is then removed and al
lowed to stand In the wet sacks about
four hours. The enclosed seed Is then
dipped In vessel containing water at
ITO and 120 degrees Fab, and after q
moment 1t Is lifted, allowed to drain
a little and then dipped again. This
operation should DO repeated several
times. The object Of this preparatory
treatment is to bring each seed in con-
tact with the warm water, and the
whole time consumed should not ex-
coed a minute, The sacks of seed
should then be plunged In water at 1872
degrees Fab, for five minutes, care
being exercised In maintaining this
temperature within n degree or two
throughout the operation, as well as
to keep the seed constantly stirred.
To maintain the temperature 1t is
necessary to have third vessel con-
taining boiling water by the addition
of which to vessel No. 2 uniform
temperature may be maintained. The
thermometer used should be an accu-
rate one. 1t has been found that quite
a percentage Of the seed Is killed by
this treatment, hence 1t is recon-
mended that one-half more seed be
used per acre In planting. William
