sunocatfon of Plants.

Plant suffocation is apt to be to the
minds of agriculturists an unheard Of
subject. Yet this is liable to occur by
the compression of the soil about the
roots, or by saturating the soil with
water and thus preventing access Of
air. By pulverizing the surface two to
three inches deep and maintaining that
condition air is admitted. Moisture may
be absorbed from the air. while the
gubsoil is prevented from giving or

course in voting with the Republicans
when in his judgment the Interests of
his state and of the entire South de-
manded it.
The two things, it is hardly neces-
sary to point out, go together. 1t was
an evidence of pluck to make such n
record and 1t will evince pluck to de-
fend it. Mr.. McLaurin may lose the
fight. The probability Is that he will.
But he will perform n public service
in making it, and he will be n very in
teresting figure while 1t continues. He
Is no interloper, but Il South Carolnian
by birth and rearing, southern in all of
his sympathies, and so able man
that he had reached the Senate,
through several subordinate offices Of
importance, when but past thlrty-fve.
He speaks well, and in debate at home,
with his course in the Senate as the
topic, he ought to make it lively for
his critics.
Partisanship is strong everywhere,
but it IS fierce in the South. Every
thing political is one way in that quar-
ter In South Carolina Republicanism
is not only tabooed, but sometimes shot
out Of men, although whenever the Re-
publicans In Congress revise the tariff
on protection lines the Democrats of
the South seek and obtain saving
duty on rice, and share in that laid on
cotton goods. Still, what they endure
from people of the North and West
they will not tolerate among them
selves. 1t was In n country tavern
down there that the local member of
Congress excused himself from being
absent from Washington at an impor-
tant time of the session by stating that
he was paired. "Well," replied the vii
lage oracle, Il hope you had too much
decency to pair with any of them Re-
publcans."
Mr.. McLaurin's offense consists OF
his having voted for the ratification Of
the Paris treaty, and of speaking in
favor of the ship subsidy bill. Support
of the treaty was an act of the highest
patriotism, and If the American mer-
chant marine is ever re-estnblished and
fulfills its mission, no section Of the
Union will profit more than the South
and no state of the South more than
South Carolina. What, then, is all this
pother about? Why should not Mr..
McLaurin-a young man, and anxious
to see the South young and powerful
again-vote and speak in accordance
with his opinions? Because such
course brought him in touch with the
Republicans on those two propositions?
Mr.. Lamar once offended the Demo-
Gratis of Mississippi by refusing to vote
in the Senate for cheap money: But
his is one of the proudest names today
in the history of that state. He had, as
Mr.. McLaurin has, the courage of his
convictions. On large questions he
was n large man.

The President. Travels.

If all goes well, President Mckinley
intends to swing around the circle this
spring, taking with him his Cabinet
and his cares of office. The Itinerary of
what Will be the most notable of presi-
idential excursions crosses the conti-
nent by the southern route, touches the
Gulf of Mexico, skirts the golden coast
from the southernmost corner of Cali
fornia away up to Puget sound, drops
back through Idaho, Utah and Colora-
do to the nations geographic center in
Kansas. ascends again to the northern
tier at Duluth. and traverses the Great
Lakes to Buffalo, where the Pan-Amer-
lean exposition will then be open to
receive the distinguished party.
From many quarters and for many
upon Mr.. Mckinley to undertake n
journey such as this. Other presidents
have swung the circle during their
terms in office. but what will distin-
gush his travels from those of most of
his predecessors is the circumstance
that he has waited until no possible
suspicion of campaigning for himself
could attach to his movements. Mr..
Mckinley has been reelected and n
second time inaugurated. Into his in
tercourse with his friends and fellow
citizens around the great circle of the
spring Of 1901 no motive of political
ambition, and no thought of self-pro-
motion can enter.
In the choice of the time for his
journey the President manifests again
the dignity and instructive good taste
that have marked so many other de-
tails of his public career. He is a
consummate politician. but his political
art is not of the ordinary kind. An
ordinary politician would have swung
around the circle just one year ago.
The compensation for the postpone
ment will come In the genuine and uni
versally friendly interest with which
Americans of all parties will contem-
plate the Presidents progress to the
Pacific and back. He will visit in his
course not less than twenty-three or
twentyfour states and territories; and
everywhere it will be his privilege and
satisfaction to note. without disturb
ing thought of campaign duties, the
multifold evidences of national pros
perity which his first election assured
and his second election safeguarded.-
