motor. The device itself, however, In
which the separation of chaf and light
er impurities from seed is performed
through the action Of an air current,
consists Of simple bent glass tube
connected with a receiver.
Actual termination tests will be car
ried on at the Exposition as in the
Seed Laboratory at Washington. Com
mercial seeds will be counted, arrang-
ed in folded blue blotters, moistened
and placed in the standard germinat-
ing chamber, where they will be kept
at fixed temperatures favorable to ger
mination. Check termination tests,
such as are employed in conducting
tests with many kinds Of seeds, will be
made in sterilized sand and soil In
greenhouse "flats." The number ger
minating each day for definite period
In each Of the tests will be noted, and
the percentage Of termination thus
computed.
Many weeds the seeds Of which are
most frequently found as impurities
in commercial seeds are represented
by living plants labeled with the
names by which they should be desig-
mated by English speaking people
wherever found. A unique feature Is
an exhibit Of seeds Of many Of these
weeds and also several kinds Of COM
merclal seeds arranged under 40 mag
nifying glasses accompanied by seeds
of the same kinds In open dishes, SO
that one may readily compare the mag
nified impression with the actual seed
and note differences and distinctive
characters that would not appear to
the unaided eye.
The results and importance Of seed
testing are graphically represented by
several groups Of glass tubes contain
ing different kinds of commercial
seeds. These show the ordinary COM
mercial seed, the amount Of pure seed
true to name in the sample and the
amount Of inert matter, such as chan,
sticks and sand, the proportion of
weed seeds, and finally the amount Of
germinable seeds true to name, as de-
termined by test Of similar sample and
the proportion Of waste. A compari-l
son Of these last two indicates how
much is often paid for waste in buy
Ing untested and poorly cleaned seeds.

An IniquitOus Measure.

The mass of the people are unable
to see how the proposed subsidy legis-
lation is to benefit them, while they
do see how it will benefit small bat
favored class. The common people
see that the intention is to tax them
to aid men who already have large
means. The people will not submit
patiently to such an abuse of legisla-
tive power. The pending shipping
subsidy bill is peculiarly iniquitous
because it proposes to bestow special
favors on few particular lines which
already have most liberal mail con.
tracts. The bill does not favor the
tramp" steamers, which are the car
riers of SO large a percentage of ocean
freights. The wealthy corporations
which own passenger steamers are to
be the chief beneficiaries. of sub
sidy scheme which it is hoped to
saddle on the country for 80 years at
a total cost of $27O,0OO,0 900. Vessels
in existence on January 1 last which
can take advantage of the law if
passed will receive subsidies for tan
years. Vessels built after the law
is enacted, in compliance with it's
terms up to 1910, will receive SUBJ
sidy for 20 years.-Chicago Tribune

dents Statements and Rec

Presidents McKinley's message is
much longer than necessary. 1t is to
be noted that the statement contains
little or nothing new.-San Francisco
Call (Ind. Rep.).
Long as it is, it is for the most
part inconclusive. Those who look
to it for clear and incisive definition
of policy will be disappointed, except
as concerns the enlargement of the
army.-Philadelph Times.
Mr.. McKinleys message to congress
declares, in effect, that he shall con-
tinue working for empire and the
trusts, and that he believes the peo-
pie at the polls in November sane
toned such service.-St. Louis Repub-
lie.
President Mckinley has repeated
through his message the old expert
ment of trying to say little or moth
ing in many words. A sparsity of
ideas and voluminosity of language
were, perhaps, his best policy at this
peculiar time.-Chicago Chronicle.
President McKinley's annual mes
sage to congress contains much in
teresting matter, but very little that
is new, and although 10000 words
long, is most remarkable for what it
does not say. 1t is almost dumb as to
the future.-Chicago T1mes-Herald
Rep.).

Imperialism to Rule.

The presidents message is a con-
fession that, In so far as it is possible
to Mr.. Mckinley and the republican
party, the government is to be ad-
ministered on lines of imperialism
and of class privilege that are for
eign to the spirit of it's founders.
Politically speaking, Mr.. Mckinley
has good warrant for the tone of his
message. His campaign for reelec-
tion was necessarily made on these
issues, the democratic assault on the
trusts and imperialism being excep-
tionally fierce. The people at the
polls supported Mr.. Mckinley in this
conflict of opinion. All that now re-
mains to be seen is whether or not
the people best know what was good
for themselves and for the country
when they extended the Mckinley
lease of power for four years more
The president himself is faithful, in
his message, to those things for which
he stood in the campaign which end
ed in his reelection to the presidency.

An IntoxicatinA Song.

The song of national triumph, mas

ring strains are calculated to lift a
congress, constituted as this one and

it's feet. All of the traditional shrewd-
ness and discipline of the republican
management at Washington will be

to continue unabated and that the
mighty and increasing revenues of the
