Madrid, April 11.-El Imparcial says
that Lieutenant General CoTrea, minis

day with several people, expressed
himself as follows:

would be the same thing as recogni-
ton of the helligerency of the rebels.

Politics as highly desirable pro
fession" is a topic discussed by Presi-
dent E. Benjamin Andrews, who says,
''The common thought that 1t is mean
TO seek Office or accept Office uness 1t
has sought the man is wholly per-
verse" This is so palpabIy true that it
ought not to need discussion. Every
voter ought to be politician; and to
cry down the orice-seeker or the office
holder is to bring contempt to our sys-
TEN of government.

Spain cannot scare up an ally in
all of Europe Thanks to the great
American plan. mo entangling alli-
ances with European powers" Had
this policy been forgotten and the un-
patriotic Bayard had successfully ne
gotiated an alliance with England we
would not now have a friend in Eu-
rope. AS it happily is, they are all
our friends-aIl except poor old Spain.
European friendship is more marked in
the case of Russia. France and Ger
many, than in England We are Eng
lands commercial rivals; we are the
commercial allies Of all other nations.
Neither does the AngIo-Saxon blood
preponderate among us; it is only an
element of that which goes to make UP
the real American. Germany and Ire
land are perhaps TO larger extent the
mother country than is England. 1t Is
therefore not likely that there will ever
be an alliance with any European
country England especially.

This article has been extensively repro

Such articles do not stand to run alone !;
there is power behind it. This move on

OF Interest to Farmsrs.

The second number of experiment sta
Gen work prepared under direction Of
Director \. c. True, has been published
lIy the agricultural department as a farm
eFs bulletin. II contains a great deal OF
Information on topics of interest 20 the
fssrIner, the most important of which is
that relating to the value Of common crops
for forage and discussion of the question
whether farmers can mix their own fertil-
izefs economically. On this latter subject
the bulletin says the unanimous conelus-
ionlreached by the experiment stations
which have given the closest attention to
the subject is that it is entirely practicable
and economical under certain conditions
for farmers 10 buy the different fertilizing
materials in the crude stock and to mix
them on the farm, and they have made
every effort TO encourage and assist them
in the practice. There is no doubt that
ashes are valuable fertilizer when used
with proper care and discrimination, but
there is considerable danger that they
may be and are at present overestimated
by Farmers and money is expended in
mapy cases in the purchase Of ashes W hich
might be more economically used in buy
ing other forms of fertilizer. Other sub
jecs treated of are CT stock, melons, starch
and potatoes, Grim on clover, geese tor
profit, cross pollination and germ fer
tilizer.
