Secretary Wilson abates none OF his
work in rendering practical assistance
to the farmers. The original appro
priation, Immediately following the
war, made by Congress for the free
distribution Of seeds provided for the
purchase of new, rare and valuable
seeds and plants, and this appropria-
ton has been replenished year by
year by each succeeding Congress.
But the free distribution of seeds has
come to be distribution of seeds OF
every sort and value, and mostly
through the hands OF the Congress
men themselves. Required by Con-
gress to distribute the seeds, Secre-
tary Wilson has attempted to carry
out as far as possible the letter and
spirit of the original law in procuring
rare and valuable seeds for distribu-
ton, and these with reference to the
/ localities adapted to their growth.
As is we'll known, his first attempt,
procuring the best European beet
seed and distributing it throughout
the country for experiment, was pro-
ductive of excellent results, numerous
beet-sugar factories now being under
construction in consequence. Last
summer Mr.. Wilson conceived the
idea that valuable seeds and plants,
unknown to American agriculturists,
must exist in the far East, where
men have cultivated the soil for thou
sands of years, and he at once ar
ranged to send scientist to inveSt1-
gate and purchase such species as
would be likely to prove of value to
America. The results of this is that
three carloads of rare seeds and
plants are now at the Department OF
Agriculture awaiting shipment to
the various Government experiment
stations and to practical American
farmers. The Secretary believes that
the Department has secured some
very promising grasses and plants
which may prove of great benefit in
our semi-arid regions and in our sys
tenn of crop rotation as practiced by
our farmers.

The CIVIL SERVICE LAW.
Bill to Limit Application introduced
BY rlr. Evans.

The Civil Service Commission has
prepared for submission to Congress
some information as to the effect Of
the enactment into law of the Evans
bill, now pending in the house.
This bill removes from the opera
ton Of the law all positions now in
the classified service below the 5000
and above the 81 800 grade, besides
limiting its application in other re-
spects.
According to the Commission there
are now 68S post-ofices in the CLASH
fed service with 10000 employees,
Gao of which with 1900 employees
would be withdrawn if the bill were
passed. The number of custom
houses, the force in which is now
classified, would be reduced from 1903
to 6. The employees of the following
named bureaus of the executive de-
partment would be withdrawn from
the service under the operations of Mr.
Evans bill:
The steamboat inspection service,
the marine hospital service, the
lighthouse establishment, the life
saving service, all the assay Offices,
the revenue cutter service and in adj
dition several positions classified by
President Arthur when the present
law went into effect. The total mum
Der of employees now in the classified
service is Sd, 24o-5A253 of which
would be taken out by the operation
of the Evans bill, and of those re-
naming 5,863 are in Washington and
"a, I24 in other cities.

Where American Magazines Go.

The wide range Of the circulation OF
American magazines and the manner
in which they penetrate the farthest
points of the earth found new evil
deuce last week, when a single list OF
five hundred subscriptions to The
Ladies' Home Journal was received
by that magazine from Bulgaria, the
list being headed by the name of Her
Royal Highness, the Princess Maria
Louise. George KEENAN,, the Siber-
ian traveller, said that he found this
magazine in homes on the steppes OF
Siberia, while Peary met with it in
Greenland. 1t is an interesting fact
that The Ladies' Home Journal has
subscriptions in fifty-niue of TIE six
ty-fve generally accepted civilized
nations of the earth. During the
single month of Decem Der last, for
instance, it received subscriptions
from Syria, Japan, Uruguay, Turkey,

American and Spanish Navies Com
pared.

So much has been said about the
possible damage to our country and
commerce by war with Spain. that
it will not be amiss to see what would
be the result if war should come.
Spain can only attack us with a
fleet, that is strong enough to down
our fleets from the Ocean. Spain
has one first class battle ship with
modern high power guns. The Unit
ed States has five, the Iowa, Oregon,
Texas, Indiana and Massachusetts,
either one of which is more than a
match tor the Spanish ship, leaving
four unoccupied. Spain has two sec
ond. class battle ships, the Vizcaya,
lately in New York harbor, being one,
the United States has two. The
United States has six sea-going coast
defense vessels-monitors that are
double turreted and capable of destroy,
ing any battle ship in the world 1t
has fourteen single turreted monitors
of nearly as great power. Spain has
twelve protected or partially protect
ed cruisers. The United States has
sixteen, better in every respect-that
is in armor, speed and armament than
the Spanish Spain has four and the
United States five unprotected cruis-
ers, and the United States can add
one hundred to this number FROM its
auxiliary navy. Spain has a larger
number of smaller gunboats, torpedo
boats and torpedo destroyers-a mas
querade fleet, not one of which could
cope with or escape from any of our
cruisers. Besides these Spain has a
large number of old wooden ships,
and if all of them were manned and
sent to sea, the New York or Brook
Ign could destroy them all without
ever coming in range of their guns.
No one need be uneasy about the re-
suit of Spanish war
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1898-03-12
spARRING FoR POINTS

Ever since the occurrence Of the
De Lone incident, il not prior thereto,
Spain has been seeking pretext for
com plant against this country. 1t
came finally in demand for the re-
call of Consul. General Lee from Ha-
vana. The President at once IN.
formed the Dons that he would not
entertain any such idea. The de-
man / was at once withdrawn. Then
came another suggestion that it would
be more neighborly to send supplies
to the suffering reconcentrados IN
merchant vessels rather than ships Of
war. Again the Spaniards were in
formed that we would manage the
affair as we deemed best. What the
next move will be is not known, but
il is very certain that the President
will not be caught mapping.
In the meantime preparations for
confict-provision for every possible
contingency-go on. Every vessel
IN the Navy is being put in the best
condition and coast defenses are be-
ing strengthened Arms and ammu-
milton, in fact, supplies of every char
acter are being accumulated. Con.
gress has placed $50, 900, 900 at the
disposal of the President, and if the
shock OF war must come we will be
fully prepared.
The investigation as to the cause OF
the Maine disaster is to be thorough
and conclusive. The general opinion
is that the explosion was external,
but the proof, ample and conclusive,
must be brought forth. If shown to
the satisfaction of the President that
the Maine was destroyed by the Span
ish, by design or otherwise, then will
come demand for indemnity, which,
being refused the demand will be en-
forced. That will undoubtedly pre-
cipitate war The climax may be
reached within a few days or it may
be postponed for several weeks, but,
come when it may, our cause will be
lust and victory will be assured.

We see much in the newspapers
about the I25, 600 mill hands in New
England having had their wages re-
duced, and if the truth were told half
OF those who are bowling about it are
glad of it-for two reasons: They
haven't sympathy for those New Eng
lauders and it gives them a pretext
for not knowing better times if they
run up against them. Surely with
abundant crops, wheat at 95 cents,
horses at $50, sheep 50 ST, and prices
of cattle and hogs and other farm pro
ducts advanced, there is some reason
tor corgratulation. A persistent cry Of
"hard times will not make men
