FLOWER AND TREE.

Heavy pruning of growing trees will
check growth.
Flowering plants should never be
watered with cold water. 1t chills the
plants.
The Madeira vine is one of the best
climbers, having a wreath of leaves
equaled by few other plants.
Reporting of plants becomes necessa.
ry ut intervals for two reasons. The
plant uses up the available fertility in
the soil and fills the pots with roots.
The ink plant Of New Granada is n
curiosity. The juice of 1t can be used
as Ink without any preparation. At
first the writing is red, but after few
hours it changes to black.
In watering the primrose observe
this: Water should not be poured upon
the crown of the plant nor the pot filled
so full that the water flows over into
it. This is fatal to the health of the
plant.

First Justice to Wear Gown.

"Few people, l venture to say, even
In high official positions, know what
Justice first wore the gown in the su-
preme court of the United States" said
an authority on the subject recently.
"When Justice John Jay took the office
he thought the members of the su.
preme bench should wear a gown of
some sort. Accordingly he appeared
in his own academic gown, which he
wore by virtue of having received a
degree from the University of Dublin
or, as it was then known, Trinity col
lege.' 1t was n tricolored gown too
Such n garment would look peculiar
now, since the black gown has beer

Democrats Adopt the Primary Plan.

The Democratic State central and ex-
ecutive committees, in Richmond Tuesday
night, adopted the plan OF the sub-com-
mittee on primaries.
The fight over the plan was a spirited
one, but everybody seemed satisfied.
The plan as finally adopted is identical
with the one reported from the subcOm-
mittee, except that all reference to a.
sessment OF cost of conducting primaries
was stricken tberefrom, and the date on
which candidates for the u. S. Senate
should notify the State chairman oftheir
intention OF entering contests for that
Office is changed from the first Thursday
in June to the first Thursday in July.
The plan is made mandatory as TO all
officers from e. s. Senatorsdow 10 men,
beers of the House OF Delegates, and is
left discretionary with local committees
as to county and city offices. Senator's
Barkesdale and Glass were the chief OF
ponents of the plan in the committee
Mr.. Glass referred to the assessment
feature of the plan. which he fought with
characteristic vigor from the start. The
committee will meet again Jan. 18th TO
consider the Norfolk case.

In HIS effort to push the suffrage
proposition through the COnstitu-
tional Convention Judge Marshall
has the sympathy OF a majority OF
the most intelligent and conservative
people of Virginia. The prolonged
consideration ofthe suffrage problem
has become both tireSOme and ful-
some tothe masses. The Convention
has expended much oratOry and frit-
tered away valuable time in the dis
cussiOn of this topic, and, after days
and weeks and months, the problem
seems to be far from solution. 1t
will not be denied that the suffrage
question is a far-reaching and grave
one-one worthy the careful and
studied consideration of the ablest
men in the COnvention-but there
are other matters Ofvast Importance
to the people to come before that
body, and i it does not proceed with
its business with commendable pro-
gress thepeople will be sure ocharac-
terize it as a ridiculous farce. The
people are tired OF delay, and abSo-
lutely nothing is to be gained by con-
tinued debate. Granting that suffrage
reform would accomplish the beneh-
cent results that its most enthuSl-
astic advocates claim for it, 1t L.
questionable whether or not 1t Is OF
sufficient Importance to justify the
Convention in devOting so much
time toits consideration. ItshOuld be
brought to final vote, and that with
out delay. With the suffrage propo-
sition out OF the way the Convention
would be free toproceed with the i'm
portant work that its committees
have mapped out for it and to act
upon reports which they have for
INFLATED and which are now awaiting
the action of the Convention. From
an economic standpoint the COnven-
ton should act upon all matters
coming before it as speedily asiscon-
sistent with prudence and conserva-
tism. And this it must do, other
wise the verdict OF the people will be
that it is impotent to accomplish
the work for which it was called.

They are talking of opening the
saloons on Sunday in New York, be-
cause some Of the people believe it to
be necessity. Indeed some men,
who are prominent in religious cir
cles, are advocating such a move
ment. II strikes us. that an open
bakery, grocery or clothing store, is
a greater necessity. Why can't a
fellow buy enough grog on Saturday
to last him unit Monday just as
he does when neceJsitous occasions
arise? We hear no cries that personal
liberty has been abridged when a
man has to buy all of his groceries
on Saturday night-not even when
he is compelled to carry heavy
basket home from market. Let us

other people, will Remember the

The FREE LANCE notes with con-
siderable interest that movement
is on foot having for its object the
deepening of the waters adjacent to
Tangier Island, in the Chesapeake
bay. We are we'll acquainted with
the needs OF these people and sincere
ly hope they may get immediate as
sistance from Congress. 1t was our
pleasure to visit Tangier Island some
years ago, during the winter season.
The steamboat landed US on a little
wharf out in the bay, and then we
were compelled to get in a small bat
teau and row for several hundred
yards before we could reach the place
for which we had started. If this
were a barren island in mid-Ocean,
we would have expected to be thus
inconvenience, but when it Is re-
membered that this is one OF the very
best sections OF this State, inhabited
by about one thousand OF as true
citizens as may be found inthe entire
Commonwealth, it seems to US that
every yirginian, having a whit OF III
fuence with congress, should become
an advocate of the relief sought by
these fellow-citizens. With a good
open waterway right mp to the main
land of the island, properly arranged
for the travelling public as we'll as
the shippinginterests, Tangier Island
would soon become one of the most
important points on the Chesapeake
Bay.

SPEAKING FROM EXPERIENCE

(Raleigh News and Observer)
The railroad magnates are telling the
people OF Virginia, il that State estab-
fishes Corporation Commission with
power To regulate rates. no more rail
roads will be built in the Old Dominion.
That is an old bluff. The same thing
was said in North Carolina, but the re-
suit has shown that people who have
money to build railroads. bull them on
business principles, Commission or no
Commission.
