see at present OF states passing laws to
disfranehise the negroes and at the
same time keeping their former repre-
sentation. This is a great injustice to
the North, where all have the right to

South overbalances them. A white

Congress to legislate along the lines Of

Vermont PEACHES.

1t has been a question for years in
some Vermont towns whether apples
could be grown. Peaches have hardly
been thought Of anywhere in the state
except by a few enthusiasts. Never
theless there have been instances,
rather frequent Of late years. in which
good peaches have been grown and
ripened out Of doors in Vermont.
The horticulturist Of the Experi-
ment station sends us information Of
considerable peach crops grown in
various parts of the state this year.
Last winter is said TO have been
especially favorable; but the station
horticulturist thinks il practicable to
grow peaches and get good crops
fairly often in all the milder localities
Of the state. The peach can never be
a staple crop, but it can be grown in
well.cared-for home gardens with
sufficient success to satisfy any farmer
who is at all inclined to gardening
We are also informed Of one sue
eessful crop of aprieots grown in a
Burlington garden Experiment

The W. c. T. L. ladies of Indiana
have started a 'chain OF prayer" for
the defeat Of Mckinley. Each lady is
to pray herself to this purpose and to
write two of her friends to do likewise
and they are to write others, 50 that if
the chain continues until election time
millions of prayers will be offered that
disaster shall crown the Republican
hopes in November. The cause of the
hostility of the W. c. 7. L. to the
president is his refusal to override the
decision Of his encouragement that
thae anti-canteen law passed BY
Congress was so drawn as to be
worthless. and further
because it is averred that on certain
occasions the president serves wine on
the tables Of the White House. So
they are praying for his defeat For
downright intemperance, this exhibit
ton goes far to the van. 1t simply
makes the organization responsible for

ity for cutting down the representation

states OF the South disfranchise the

state reduces the number Of its voting
population by acts calculated to dis
franchise portion OF its voters. the
