senator Jones' Letter.
Chicago, Feb. 3.-Sanator .

K. Jones, chairman OF the Demo-
cratic national committee, has
written a letter to Hon. Geo, s.
Bowen Of this city. secretary OF
the American Bimetallic union, in
which he sums up present and
prospective conditions in the Unit
ed States Senate. Here is what he
says:
The claim of the Republican pa
pers that the Senate is already ir-
revocably against silver and will
so stand until 1903 at the earliest,
is like many of their extreme
claims, in my opinion, not well
founded.
Upon the passage of what is
known as the Teller resolution, of
January %, 1898, which declared
that the bonds of the government
are paying principal and interest
in silver dollars, coins of the Unit
ed States, containing All IL
grains of standard silver" and
that to restore to its coinage such
silver coins as legal tender in
the payment of such bonds, princi-
pal and interest, is not in violation
of the public faith, nor in deroga-
ton of the rights of the public
creditors" there was a majority
of 15 votes in, the Senate in its IA
vor. This may be reasonably ac-
cepted as a test vote ON the silver
question. A gold man has since
been elected from Oregon to fill a
vacancy, which reduces our major
ity to IA. OF those who voted in
favor of that proposition at that
time, seven Senators will probably
be succeeded on the 4th of March
next by Senators opposed to the
unlimited coinage of silver, name
ly: Senators Allen of Nebraska,
Mitchell of Wisconsin, Murphy of
New York, Roach of North Dako-
ia, Smith of New Jersey, Turpie
of Indiana and White of Califor-
MIA.
This will leave the two sides
equal, and the deciding vote will
be in the hands of the vice presi-
dent. This condition of things
hardly warrants the triumphant
claim of the gold men that they
have captured the Senate and will
hold it for many years to come.
This year an unusual proportion
of bimetallists who come from
close states have had their terms to
expire. In 1900, however, all this
will be evened up bv larger pro-
portion of gold men retiring who
come from close states What is
likely to be the condition of the
Senate in 1901 can be easily seen
The terms of 80 Senators expire
at that time. OF these 80, IL who
are now friendly to silver may
safely be counted on as absolutely
certain to be succeeded by silver
men. These Senators come from
the following states: Alabama, AR
kansas. Colorado, Georgia, Idaho
Mississippi, North Carolina, Soutl
Carolina, Tennessee, Texas ant
Virginia. The following states
may be expected to elect gold mel
to succeed gold men at that time,
Maine. Massachusetts and Rhodi
Island.
New Hampshire is now repre-
sented by a silver man, who's
term viii expire in 1901. Mucl
will depend in that state upon tn,
personal popularity of the presen
Senator, Mr.. Chandler, but if h,
should be. succeeded by a golt
man, Louisiana and Kentucky nov

Pulling OFF Hats.

81 have not yet lived 1000, 900
years, said Mr.. Goslington, "but so
far | observe that there is one form of
play that all boys have alike during a
considerable period of their youthful ex-
istence. This consists in pulling off 9TH
err boys hats and throwing them in the
street. The desire, or impulse, to do
this comes at a very early age, and it
remains in the boy until he is pretty
well grown,
1t is not unusual to see boy 10 or
IL years old, or even older than that,
pull off another boys hat, usually in
such instances the hat of smaller boy,
and throw it away. Here the act is in

and it is pretty mean thing for the
big boy to do, but little boys do this
thing just out of sheer playfulness. -

The potato stalk borer, which appear

Asparagus IS commonly forced NJ

late in the fall with as little damage to
them as possible and stored in a cold
place until wanted for forcing, when

but are produced from material stored
ND in the roots the previous summer,
when this reserve material is exhausted
the roots must be thrown away and re-
placed by others. Commenting upon
this method as q rather wasteful and
expensive one of forcing asparagus, a
recent bulletin of the departmer' Of
agriculture enumerates various means
which have been devised to force as

established that it continues growth in
the summer as though it had not been
forced the previous winter.
A simple and rather common method
Of accomplishing this is to place barrels
or half barrels over clumps of asparagus
very early in the spring and pile fer
menting manure about them, the
warmth from the manure forcing the
shoots into rapid growth. When the
forcing season is over and danger from
frosts is past, the barrels are removed
and the plants continue growth in the
open air.
Sometimes asparagus is forced by
placing frames covered with sash over
the plants in the field, the rows Of as
paragus being set rather close together
This is considered very profitable
method by many market gardeners.
Another method of forcing asparagus
in the field is to dig bitches between the
rows and fill them with fermenting
manure. The surface of the bed mag
also be mulched with manure. Some
times brick tunnels are laid betwees
the rows and hot water pipes placed iR-
side them to furnish the heat.
