There is touch of humoT in the minister versus
choir controversy up Boston way. The ministers
aver that the selections sung by the choirs often
spoil the effect OF their sermons one saws that
after delivering n very cheerful discourse about
how the world growing better and brighter
every day the choir struck up the lugubrious
hymn:
-''The earth is a desert drear"
Another testifies that he preached a sermon
on The Devil" and, at its conclusion, the
choir chimed in with

There is 10 doubt that the economic pol
icy that is to be applied to the Philippines
is matter of very grave Importance, but
the attempt to make it feature of the
Treaty discussion in the Senate is unwar-
ranted. 1t is a thing of so much conse-
quence that it should have separate con-
sideration after the Treaty is ratified.
Nothing in relation 10 the government of
the Philippines should be allowed to in
terfere with the business of ratification.

1t is hardly reasonable to think the
President would consent TO any interior
military tribunal which tried the case of
General Eagan. No argument can be
brought TO bear on the President that was
not presented to the court. There can be
no doubt about the sense of justice of the
officers OF the court, about the facts on
which Eagan was tried about the law or
the penalty. Any mitigation of the sentence
would be reflection on the officers who
made it or else an admission that some Sc
cret influence is stronger than justice.

Richard Croker in Town.-Richard
Croker the leader of Tammany Hall. was
one of the guests at the Gridiron Club
dinner on Saturday night. 1t is said that
he made a favorable impression on his
hosts by showing capacity to hold up his
side in friendly contest of wit and chafI.
Quite a number of people called upon Mr.
Croker yesterday. but there were very few
Democrats who are cassed as Bryan men
among his visitors. Mr.. Croker will. it is
understood, remain here for several days
looking over the situation. He is strongly
in favor of the prompt ratification of the
Peace Treaty by the Senate, and VIII exert
his influence. it is stated, to persuade
Senator Edward Murphy Of New York to
vote for the ratification of the Treaty.
Senator Murphy has expressed himself as
against the Treaty and the idea OF eXpan-
sion but it Is believed that he is not so
far committed on the subject that he will
not listen to arguments on the other side.
The relations between Mr.. Croker and Mr..
Murphy have been very intimate in the
past and it is known that Senator Muir
ply has great respect for Mr.. Croker's po-
litical judgment.

GENERAL RASHINGTON
LiHEWS AND GOSSIP.

Plot AGh INST Senator Dnvis.-A
party of Northwestern public men were
last night discussing the latest effort of
former Governor Merriam. of Minnesota.
to overcome the opposition of Senator
Cushman X. Davis and to break into the
Government crib According to news from
st. Paul, the Merriam contingent is max
ing hard play to get their friend consid
cred in connection with the dictatorship
of the Twelfth Census. AS far as heard
from. they are quite Indifferent to the fact
that Merriam is quite unqualified for such
technically scientific job, and are OBJ
livious of the other fact that President
Mckinley has announced his determination
not to appoint any man to the position who
is not fully equipped by training and eX
perience in the highest realm of statis
tics A member of Congress who knows
the parties in interest, and appreciates the
exceeding sharpness of the scaping knife
which Merriam has up his sleeve for Davis,
said: This attempted holdup is by odds
the checklist thing l have seen in dozen
moons. The idea that when 'Cush' Davis
would not permit his bitter enemy to be
made an ambassador and get out of the
country, he can be dragooned into sup
porting him for the census place is toe
funny to talk about Why, BIZ Mer-
riam would simply cut Davis political
heart out if he were given that leverage
He could and would fill the Census Bureau
with his partsans and cover Minnesota
with census-takers who would be handy
political workers in the Presidential cam
paign of 1900, and whose efforts would be
quite as much in his local as in the ma
tional interest He might probably be
able TO make a showing which would give
him downhill pull on the Republican
party and scatter the present influence of
Senators Davis and Nelson to the winds
The fact that the enumeration of popula-
tion will be made coincidently with the
opening of the Presidential fight is good
enough reason why Merriam should want
the Census superintendency, but it is
also a jolly good reason why Davis would
be an idiot TO let him get it in case the
President were blind enough to think of
affronting the country by suggesting a
mere politician for such an important tech
meal work.

Strength Of the neutrality-suspicious.

Strength Of the Anti-ENpansiGn-
ists.-The opponents OF the ratification of
the Peace Treaty put out statement the
other day claiming thirtyfour votes in
the Senate against the Treaty. If this
should hold true 1t would leave the friends
of the Treaty but ifty-six votes. or four
short of the necessary two-thirds. In the
list of thirty-four, however, are included
the names of several Senators whom it is
believed Will vote with the majority on
the direct question OF ratification. They
would prefer to have some modification
OF the Treaty In the line OF a declaration
that it is not the intention or policy of
the United States to retain permanent SOW
ereignty over the Philippines, but falling
to obtain that concession they Will proba-
bly, vote for ratification. Senator Mason
of Illinois is said to belong to this class
Senator Wellington of Maryland is an

President is reported to be very anxious
to make a place somewhere for Editor
Whitelaw Reid. There are several rea-
sons for this. the principal one being. it
is stated. that Mr. Reds newspaper, the
Tribune" has shown 4 disposition to
criticise Mr. McKiney's Administration
1t is regarded desirable TO check this
tendency if possible.

wind is blowing in Mr.. Reds vicinity

newspaper If the Administration
praises are sung in every line and the
President is referred to as one of the
greatest men that ever sat in the White
House you can bet all you have got that
Mr.. Reid has got a job or has hopes of
obtaining one. But when you discover
the editor in the role of a Spartan friend
who does not hesitate to tell the truth

to do so. then il is a 900 to | shot that

In this connection it is said that Senator

Senator-elect Depew was a caller at the
White House yesterday afternoon. Mr..
Mckinley as a rule does not receive visit
ors on Sunday. but he made an exception
in the distinguished New Workers. favor.
1t was Mr.. Depew's first meeting with the
President since he had senatorial honors
thrust upon him. Mr.. Mckinley gracious
ly addressed him as Senator Depew'' and
congratulated him upon his election. He
also expressed satisfaction over the pros
pect of having man OF Mr.. Depew's abil
ity and experience at the other end of the
Avenue. He felt that it would be posi-
tive gain to his administration. OF course
Mr. Depew was pleased with the Pres
dents gentle taffy. Mr.. Depew never
seems to tire OF this sort OF thing in spite
of the fact that it has been his principal
diet for a good many years. When Mr..
Depew left The White House he was step
ping high and appeared altogether pleased
with the world and himself 1t is said
that the chief object OF Mr.. Depew's call
at the White House, aside from desire to
pay his respects to the Chief Magistrate,
was TO ascertain what Mr.. Mckinley
thought about the prospect OF an extra
session of Congress. Every new Senator or
Representative. as a rule believes that an
extra session is 4 very good thing. How
ever il is understood that the President
told Mr.. Depew that he was quite hopeful
OF avoiding an extra session: that the out
look was much brighter than it was few
weeks ago. Mr.. fDepew could not refrain
before he took his departure of telling two
or three of his latest stories for the ed
fcation of the President AS Mr.. McKin
ley is said to have laughed at them, it is
fair TO presume that they were not over n
century old. 1t is understood that Mr..
Depew will visit the Senate chamber today
under the escort of Senator T. c. Plat
and inspect the scene of his future opera
tions. and, perhaps, greatness. Mr.. Piatt
will permit those Senators who wish to do
so to shake hands with his protege.

Growing Wheat for Hay.

Some Southern farmers are expert
menting with the cultivation OF wheat
for hay. and one Of them writes thus to
the Southern Cultivator:
] ! have grown and cut wheat for hay
for the past five years, and have never
found OF saved a crop that gave more
satisfactory returns. am q farmer
with twenty years. experience. Wheat
is the most easily raised and also the
most economical crop a southern farm
or can produce. 1t grows at time
when nothing else is growing. From
May 5 to 20 it can be moved and saved
for hay, cut in milk to dough stages.
tt is the least trouble of any crop to
cut, cure and save and has more food
value than other hay, and stock relish
and eat it clean. 1t will not collie or
sco,lr stock or cattle. We use it quite
extensively about La Grange since its
value has been discovered. Another
advantage is that it enables us to grow
two crops each year on the same land.
The land where grown can be fitted by
June for the succeeding crop. When
grown for market it has proven very
profitable as it comes at a time when
hay is scarce, month ahead OF oats.
Many men will say that oats are pre-
ferable, but when they try the two
crops side by side they will decide i'll
favor Of wheat, because it is sure
crop, benefits the land, comes a month
earlier, and is no trouble to cure. If
oats get wet they will mould; wheat
will not. Stock eat wheat up clean;
not SO with oats. Try it for yourself;

I follow my wheat with peas and

and peas, which adds to the value Of
the hay. We produce here from one
to two tons of wheat hay per acre, and
about the same of corn and peavine

lands are advancing in value and our
stock shows an improved condition

farmers will make and save suffi-
cheney of home supplies and just lit
tic to sell, and not devote their time
and energies all to one crop, our sunny
south will come to the front, our young
men will not leave the farms, and our
agricultural problem would be solved.
