GENERAL GOMEZ

A commission from the United States

inform itself whether General Grants
annexation scheme would pan out to the
advantage of this country. The commits
sion reported that San Domingo was one
of the most fertile and richest regions on
the earth, and tina it's vast resources are
doubtless, have been a very desirable ac-
QUESTION, but congress declined to have
anything to do with it, though a large
majority of its something like soc, 900
souls requested annexation 10 this coun-
try.
Since the death of President Heureaux
a small sized revolution has been inaug-
urated by a couple of natives-Jiminez
and Jitonez-with the object of securing
the presidency of the highly favored
island. 1t is not known how serious and
far-reaching the revolution is. Or whether
it will amount to much. There is one
thing, however, of which the world may
rest assured, San Domingo will not be
dragged down to a condition of semi
barbarism. The interests of our people,
the interests of French subjects and the
well-being of the natives themselves for
themselves forbid it.
All this juncture of San DOMINICAN ef-
f airs the name of General Maxine Gomez
very naturally presents itself as one to
bring order out of chaos, and to allay
any strife which may be precipitated by
self-constituted candidates for the pres
iduncy. Gomez is a native of San Do
mingo, he was a leader of the Cuban
revolution, he is a man of intelligence
and honesty of purpose, and though he
may have committed errors displeasine
to some Cubans, he is, on the whole.
more acceptable to the United States as
the future ruler Of the island than any
of the other aspirants. 1t is thought
that the leaders of the revolution will
offer no objection to Gomez, and that
they will readily and willingly retire in
his favor.
The interests of Americans are so large

If the predictions concerning the corn
crops of Kansas and Nebraska be verified
those states will have plenty of fuel next
winter. if nothing else. According to
statements sent out by the Associated
Press, the prospects are that Kansas will
raise 1862. 900. 900 bushels of corn this year,
and that Nebraska's corn crop promises
to reach 800, 900. 900 bushels. If the pre-
dictions prove true the corn crop, of the
two states will exceed their last years
crop by almost 270, OOO, 900 bushels, and
they had a good crop then. The question
naturally rises: What will they do with
the corn? The pops in those states are
temperance people. the republicans know
not the taste of ardent spirits, and the
ranks of the unterrified are reduced to a

prepared from carefully selected, well
grown specimens. A major portion of
the Illustrations of lettuce heretofore
have been quite as bad as the descrip-
tions. The illustrations f the Rhode
Island classification are mainly from
photographs and therefore rich in de
tail and unquestionably accurate. Alto
gether, the plants from more than a
thousand separate paintings of lettuce

the east, south, north and west, and
also from Canada, England and France,

this species.
From the so varieties described and
accompanied by 81 fine illustrations
mention is here made of two attractive
kinds:

variety, particularly good for private
gardens. The leaves have stronger

kinds, but to many tastes this is not
Objectionable fact the leaves form

the plants enables them to grow luxu-
riantly in soil that is not the best and
in an atmosphere that is uncongenial.
The form of the plant is like that of the
white seeded Tennis Ball, and the two
varieties appear to be nearly related,
although they are very distinct.

Confusion of Names-TwO Varieties
of Unusual Merit.
A most valuable and interesting fea-
ture of the second part of the tenth an
nual report Of the Rhode Island station
is a classification and description of the
varieties of garden lettuce. Descriptive
lists of the varieties of lettuce have al
ready been published, but it is believed
that there has been no recent classified
ton based entirely on botanical char
acters. The kinds have been grouped
as spring, summer and winter, and as
cabbage, cutting and Cox lettuces, and
then the names arranged in alphabetic-
al order. But with this disposal any
change in name of variety is sure to
lead to confusion. In this new classifi-
cation the position of a kind of lettuce
is approximately determined by certain
botanical characters irrespective OF the
name. The descriptions of kinds which
closely resemble each other are placed
close together so that they can be read-
lily compared and the minor differences

Nearly all our garden vegetables will
keep best in the winter by being where
the temperature is nearly down to the
freezing point remarks The American
Cultivator, but cabbages parsnips and
onions keep well if frozen solid and put
in dark place or covered from the
sunlight until the frost is out of them.
They should not be handled while
frozen. Turnips, ALSO are not injured by
being frozen and must also be thawed
out in the dark before handling, but it
gives to them a sweeter taste and milder
flavor, which is a recommendation to
some tastes and by others may be
thought a fault. We have taken tur-
nips, cabbages and onions und thawed
them out in cold water for immediate
cooking and thought they were NO
worse for the freezing.

NEXT YEAR.
500 Officials State that the 500 Will
Build to Bismarck Then.

Minneapolis Journal: The 500 road
will not be extended from Braddock
to Bismarck this year. President
Lowry, General Manager Pennington,
George r. Newell and George Part
ridge returned last night from Il trip
to bismarck. where the officials looked
over terminals. Mr.. Pennington
said this morning that rails would not
be put down from Braddock to Bis
marck this year. He admitted that
the track would he laid mex year.
Bismarck, according to Mr.. Pen-
nin@tOn, is Il town that has greatly
improved Of late, both in general ap-
p%earance and in substance.
Mr.. Pennington denies that there is
any connection between the Washburn
line from Bismarck north and the
500. This Washburn line p%enetrates
Il very rich country. and the 500 would
doubtless like to have the long haul
from there to Minneapolis. but the
Northern Pacific stands in the way.
The latter road has threatened to re-
taliatc if the 500 crosses it ut Bis
marck.
1t is. though. II good guess that the
500 will eventually acquire Mr..
Washburn's line.
In this connection it is Interesting
to note that Senator Washburn is gem
orally thought TO have made Il very
lucky stroke in his purchase of 10000
acres of land in Burleigh and Mclean
counties. y. ID. When his road enters
the region of the purchased land it will
treble and quadruple in value. Willie
the senator is enjoying himself in
Europe. the gossipS are figuring that
he stands to make from 100000 to
100000 off his land and railroad COM
hination. 1t is admitted on Ill sides
that the new road will open uD the
best piece Of farming country in North
Dakota lot adjacent to railroads.

A NEW WHEAT.

Fargo Forum: The secretary Of
agriculture last year ransacked the old
world for new grains and fruits that
might be advantageously be grown in
this country. Among the cereals Sc
cured was some very promising Rus
sian wheat, and a sample of this was
sent to this city to the experimental
station here. The grain has just been
harvested, and DR.. Demsey brought
the Forum a sample of. this grain
Saturday evening. 1t is a bearded
wheat, and has four rows on the side,
with a very large plump berry; several
heads were counted and found to con-
tain sixty kernels each, Of an average
weight Of a grain each, while the fife
is only about one-half as heavy, with
not much more than a half as many
kernels. The plot gives every indi-
cation Of going at least IS bushels to
the acre. The grain is probably
somewhat soft, but will undoubtedly
grow harder when raised in this coun-
try, the same as the blue stem has.
There is every indication that the new
grain will prove a valuable one for
this country.
