REGULATION OF ELECTIONS.
I'm Perkins case, 29 Fed. Reporter.
Judge Gresham, afterwards Secretary
of State. decided that the mere fact
that a representative in Congress voted
for at an election of State and county
officers does not authorize Congress to
regulate such elections in matters
which in no wise relate to or affect the
result so far as concerns the United
States.
1T is plain to my mind that the de-
PENDANTS in the Western district had
committed no wrong; and it is equally
plain that if any wrong had been done,
the Federal courts had no jurisdiction
in the premises. We all believed last
summer that these prosecutions We're
instituted to influence the election, and,
having failed of their purpose, that they
would be mol pressed. Our prediction
has been verified The District Attor-
ney realized that he could not get along
and he thought it was Better to quit
where he was than to try the cases and
be beaten For his good Judgment he
is entitled to some commendation, but
when it is said that his magnanfmous
action has saved citizens from danger of
going to the penitentiary for doing acts
both right and legal, it is both putting
the case too strong, and giving Mr..
Holton credit which he does not de-
Tn iniC G. r. v
were in no more danger Of going TO
the penitentiary than you or ] are, and
no one knew this better than Mr. Hol-
ton. Let us give him credit for what
he has done. but don't let's slop over
ad nauseum. If it is necessary to gush
over Mr.. Holton no Democrat should
so far forget himself as to throw mud
on our registrars.
"Ycu remember that the citizens of
Johnston county were arrested shortly
before the November election. the
trials ware continued aLd the charges
hung over them until after the Presi-
Dental election Johnston county gave
a larger Democratic majority than usual
and the cases were promptly dismissed
by the United States commissioner
two or three days after The result Of
the election was known
THE trial in the Western district
would nave vindicatsd -hc reputation
of the registrars, and a mol pros of
the. cases now must not be allowed TO
have the effect Of blackening their repl
tatton by having it stated that bur for
the mol pros, some Of them might have
been sent to the penitentiary as felons.
Mr.. Holton did what he ought to
have done long ago. He has dismissed
prosecutions which he ought never to
have commenced. He has dismissed
prosecutions, which We're neither jVsti-
fed by the facts, nor authorized by
law"

THEY BAR OUR BEEF
The British Make the Great
Packers Howl.
S This Because We Obi, to Selling Eng
War Mules? Our Beef Trade With
- England Immense.
Inumense.
(By the Associated Press }

Washington April 1.-THE Department
OF Agriculture has received dispatch
from a prominent packing company of Chi
cago announcing that they have just been
advised that the English Government has
excluded all beef, except home bred, from
the British army contracts. This, it is
stated, is to be effective June 1st, next.
The Chicago concern has asked the
Agricultural Department for any assist
ance it can render. 1t has pointed out
that the action of the British Government
is p severe blow to American beef and
cattle exporters and producers, and means
not alore the loss in Government trade,
but it IS feared it will serve materially
toward melting a prejudice on the part of
the people of Great Britain against the
beef and cattle of this country. No Off
cial information of this reported eontem-
plated move has reached the Department.
Steps have been taken. however, looking
TO acquiring whatever information it is
possible to get.
To demonstrate the Importance of the
move now said to be contemplated, it is
pointed out that the value of our exports
of live animals to Great Britain amounts
to $40,000000, while the total of animal
products exported from the United States
to Great Britain is stated to be, in round
numbers 1900 900. 900. 1t is pointed out
here that this proposed embargo may
really be sequel to the proceedings in
stituted at New Orleans against ship
ments of horses and mules from that
port for use in the South African cam
paign If the English really decided to
take the action reported in the advices
Just received the British might turn to
Australia for their meats. 1t is claimed,
however that meats cannot be gotten
there in as good quality or as cheap as
in the United States.

Rev. G. D. Darling Writes.

Rev. G. D. Darling, former pastor
of the Presbyterian church at Warren,
writes the SHEAr from Munising,
Mich, to which place he has recently
removed, as follows: cam we'll and
prospecting. Have the finest bay in
the world, rosy and rugged. De-
lightful country here on the lake.
The town looks over the bay and
Grand Island. Remembrances to
all Warren friends. For 'Auld Lang
Syne'."
That Rev. Darling's work at Peters
burg, Ind, was appreciated is evi-
denced by the following clipping from
the Petersburg Press:
Rev. Charles Darling, who has
been the pastor for the Presbyterian
congregation here for the past three
years, handed in his resignation from
said passionate Sunday, the same to
be in effect one week from that time.
During his sojourn in Petersburg
Rev. Darling has drawn to him a
host of admirers who regret exceed
ingly to learn of his determination to
seek new fields of labor, but who
wish for him wherever he may go the
best of everything. Rev. Darling is
far above the ordinary. He is a
scholar, a student, and thinker.
He is congenial companion, an
earnest Christian worker, and model
citizen. Petersburg is too small
place for man possessing his ability.
In whatever place he may chance to
be he will prove himself true to his
calling. He and his estimable wife
have the benediction Of our people.
May prosperity and happiness attend
them.

it is claimed that land can be recu-
perated by the growing of clover, as
1t derives nitrogen from the atmos-
phere, but clover will not thrive un-
less the soil can supply lime, potash
and phosphoric acid. These sub
stances will be removed from the soil
by clover, and if the clover is har-
yested and sold the land will lose the
plant foods that go with the clover,
hence, if the clover is plowed under
it returns to the soil only the mineral
matter taken from the soil, the gain
being in nitrogen. To secure large
yields of clover, therefore, there must
be given the soil liberal application
Of the mineral substances, potash and
phosphoric acid especially, while lime
is always beneficial. When drilling in
the wheat, and using fertilizer at the
same time, apply extra fertilizer in Or
der to assist the clover in the spring.

Preparing the Seed Red for Wheat.
Experiments in deep and shallow
plowing for wheat at large number
Of agricultural experiment stations,
show that the depth of plowing is not
OF so much Importance with this crop
as firm seed bed, the upper three or
four inches OF which is mellow and in
good tilth. AS with the other cereals,
subsoiling has not been found finan-
cially profitable.
Early plowing for fall wheat has
been found especially desirable at Il
large number of the experiment sta
tions. In many states it is COM
mon custom among farmers to SOW
wheat after oats. Where this is done
the earlier the soil is plowed after the
cat crop is removed the better the re-
suits will be. This point has been we'll
brought out by experiments at num-
ber Of different stations in all parts of
the country.
The value Of early plowing for fall,
wheat has lately been summarized by
the department of agriculture as fol-
lows: Early plowing, followed at in
tervals by narrowing, prevents the
growth of weeds. conserves the moist
ure Of the soil, keeps the soil in good
tilth and results in the formation of 4
seed bed best suited for the prompt
termination and growth of the seed.
The cost of preparing the ground is
lessened, the yielu of grain Is in
creased and the practice is financially
profitable.
Many farmers roll the seed bed. On
heavy lands this is of no advantage.
but on lighter soils it firms down the
seed bed, thus insuring a more even
termination of the seed and a more
certain contact with the soil water
contained in the subsoil, and would
seem to be desirable, especially In dry
seasons. In Utah rolling and narrowing
after seeding increased the yield lit
tie over three bushels per acre. On
the value of rolling wheat lands in
the west the United States department
of agriculture has this to say: A roll
er should never be used on the western
plains, except in the case of late plow
ing. and even then 1t should be used
only before drilling. This is owing to
the fact that roughness of surface ia
