authorities are doing what they TO bring
back the plant to The Bronx. but it is task as
thankless as that of sisyphus in Hades to plant
for others to pull up and destroy.
Three of the commonest and daintiest blossoms
OF the spring, when the arbutus has passed and
everybody feels that winter is really over, are
saxifrage, columbine and Dutchman's breeches
Upon all of these visitors have made such in
roads that they distinctly fewer year by

but the widespreading roots of this plant make
il difficult to exterminate. In fact, nothing but
peculiar advantages Of similar kind have pro-
tected many other blossoms Ferns on the

ustom of seeking fine specimens of ferns and
carrying them off to fill jardinieres has left a
sarious impression on Bronx Park In the heat
II summer nothing is more restful and beautiful
han a fern bank; but the sight will not be al
lowed to New-Yorkers if energetic folk who
"must have green things about" have their way.
Later in the year the wild geranium and the
wild pink meet with destruction. Like the fern
they are easily and effectually uprooted. 1t is

TOO MUCH GOAT
The Five. Horned Wonder Homeless

Much has been said and written
about John Boutout's five-horned goat
The animal was considered a wonder
when 1t was first brought to town, later
it was viewed with awe as it marched
in the professions of various secret So
icieties. Then 1t became pet and fl
nally a nuisance. Efforts were made
to get the monster out of town, but like
the proverbial cat, it always came
back.
Some time ago its owner went to
Prescott leaving orders TO have the
goat boxed and shipped. The orders
We're carried out and the goat was
taken to the depot. There was no one
there to pay the freight and the goat
was released after the freight agent
got tired of carrying bay and water
to it, The next morning the telephone

The fight in the legislature over
the primary election measure came to
an end on Friday, when the assembly,
by the close vote of 49 to 46, concurred
in the Hagemeister bill as it had
previously passed the senate. This
provides for the selection of candidates
for county off ces only by direct vote
of the people, and leaves it optional
with counties to adopt the new system
or not. thus placing the matter on a
practically experimental basis. which
in our opinion is the only proper way
to handle it at present. If the system
should prove to be a success and just
what the people are looking for, it
can easily be enlarged upon from time
to time. Of course. it is not nearly
as wide in its scope as the original
advocates of primary elections had
hoped to secure, but it is as much as
the opponents were willing to copcede
and should be accepted by all, at least
for the time being. 1t is up to Cover
nor La Toilette now, and while the
press reports from Madison seem to
forecast certain veto of the Hage-
meister measure, we hope that the
governor will in the end think better
of the matter AMI give his executive
approval, thus allowing the expert
ment to be made and the party plat
form hee1ed to such degree as has
been possible.
