THE FRO scTIoN OF The EXECUTIVE.

The till for the protection of the
president, which has been pending Tor
some time passed the senate Friday.
It provides that any person who shall
within the limits of the United States
willfully kill, or cause the death OF the
president or vice president of the
Tinted States or any officer thereof
upon whom the powers and duties oil
the president may devolve, shall be
punished with death. The same pen
atty is affixed to the attempt to COM
NIT these crimes. Twenty years is the
extreme penalty provided for those
guilty of the instigation of such crime
or who have advised the killing OF the
chief magistrate or ruler of any foreign
country. A further provision is to the
effect that the secretary of war snail

president without unnecessary display.

4 WORTHY SUGGESTION.

When Senator Cullom Signifed that
Iit was time for memorial Lincoln
monument he voiced the sentiment OF
every section of country, the sectional
lines of which are losing day by day
the sharpness that accumulated them IN
the dnys of the great emancipation. Not
only the north that produced ana
elected him president, but the south
which fought and hated him thruout
his career and which bred the hand that
slew him by assassination, will join In
the demand for a magnificent monu-
rlent to the memory of that greatness
of which both sections are proud and
which they mutually and equally. de-
light to honor. Nor will approval Of
the plan proposed by the Illinois sena-
tor stop with our own country. Every
land where liberty is more than name
will look with glad interest on the erec-
ton Of fitting memorial to a name in

should be erected at the national capt.
tall Washington was the pedestal upon
which Lincoln stood before the world
for more than four years while the
fierce white light" that beats upon a
war president brought out and intensi-
fed every line of his homely features
and every attribute of his great soul
and high craftsmanship. His monu-
ment should be built on the spot where
his tliumphs were achieved and where
darkness fell upon him at the zenith of
his fame.
But wherever it is builded, it can
rot lperpetuate his memory. Nothing
can 10 that. His name and deeds are
innperishable. No monument can add
to his fame, no granite endure beyond
it. His place in history is secure be-
You'd the power of arches or shafts or
columns. The memorial column is due
as the act of a grateful people, but so
long as greatness of soul, nobility of
character and integrity of action re-

name of Lincoln will mot perish from
the earth BY all means let the monu-
ment be built and let the cost, the site
and the design be worthy of it's subject.

build it. The one succeeding will find
it's opportunity in the erection of

THE MANIPULATED PRESS.

Since Speaker HENDERSON uSsQ tne
above unfortunate term in referring to
newspapers that favor tariff conces-
sions to Cuba some one has compiled a
pamphlet of hundred pages or more
entitled "The Manipulated Press on
the Cuban Situation" which contains
brief ten line comments of the leading
republican papers of each state upon
this subject Today we republish few
from newspapers in
New York.

to redress Cuban grievances must not

A RETURN TO BARBARlsM.

If the statements made in a bulletin
recently issued by the labor bureau at
Washington are to be accepted as
truth, the condition of the rural ne

barbarism. According to this report

its lowest ebb. Less than SO per cent
of the SO called marriages among these
people have been legalized and the sys-

Incident In the Life of Author of Alice
in Wonderland.
The author of "A1ice in Wonder

ford, says Rev. Mr.. Tuckweu in his
Reimbursement of that famous. uni
versity town, and he describes him:
Strangers, lady strangers especially,
begged their lionizing friends to point
out Carroll and were disappointed
when they saw the homely figure and
the grave, repellent face. Except to
little girls he was not. an alluring per-
sonage. - ..-
His passion for them was universal
and undiscriminating: like Miss Sne-
vellici's papa, he loved them every one.
Yet even here he was symmetrical and
rigid; reaching the point where brook
and river meet, the petted, loving child
friend was dropped, abruptly, remorse-
lessly, finally. " ~l~
ably the severance was mutual; the
little maids put away childish things,

Feeding Alfalfa.

Correspondence Los Angeles Times:
Some months ago there appeared in
the Times paragraph regarding the
beneficial effects of feeding green al
1alta to milch cows, speaking particu.
iarly OF its prolonging the period of
lactat1on. Permit me to speak of this
from experience. We have two cows.
Beauty and Bonita, the former a
grade Guernsey, nine years old, the
other a grade Jersey, four years old.
For year or so past we have had an
alfalfa patch about 80 feet long, from
which NOW strip about feet wide
across it daily. 1t therefore usually
lasts just about a month. I divide the
cut alfalfa between the COWS at noon.
After getting to the end of the patch
| begin at the other end and go over
1t again, watering it as I cut it, In
the summer it is generally coming
into bloom when cut. It has been a.
frequent remark in our family for
some time past that Beauty has
never held out on. her milk so," and
that is the case. think it also tends
to keep the cows healthy. They have
not been outside the corrals for
months, yet it is rare that anything
ails them.

Soil for RYE.

j Manly Miles: Although rye can be
successfully grown on a great variety
Of soils, yet it is Of the finest and best
quality when produced on a dry, san
dy one, where few, if any other grains
can be cultivated with equal adyan-
tage. By this we do not mean the
poorest soil that can, be- found and
which contains but little of the ele-
ments OF plant food, or that rye can;
be successfully grown with but slight
preparation of the land and the con-
stant cropping Of the same fields with
1t and no manure supplied to return
the nutr1tive properties extracted by
successive crops. We have seen
good growth Of rye on a sandy soil
that would produce scarcely anything
else, but the SON was fairly enriched
before the seed was sown. Clay is
not favorable to it's cultivation, espe-
cially a heavy undrained clay, and It.
will never do well in a wet soil of
any kind. A clay loan will produce
a fine growth of straw, but the grain
WILL not be as good as that produced
on sandy soil, the latter producing
more plump kernel of better quality
than the former. A rich loan will
produce a larger quantity Of grain
than sandy soil, but of less value.
rye Is a strong feeder and will .ex-
tract about the last element Of solu-
BILE plant food from the soil; hence,
land that has become so exhausted
that 1t cannot yield rye, is very poor
indeed and will require a long period
OF rest or large quantity of manure
OF some kind to cause it to produce
anythlng.-Farmers' Review.
