REMARKABLE RESULTS IN GRASS CUl TUHE

Every farmer In the state OF Rhode
Island who is interested In the growing
OF grass ought to visit the Agricultural
Experiment station and the College OF
Agriculture and Mechanic Arts at
Kingston before the present crop is har-
vested. The cutting OF grass will proba-
bly, begin about the 2ith OF June. Those
who have been about the state and seen
the deplorabe condition OF grass In all
sections will be much interested to see
that upon the Experiment station
grounds and upon the college farm
which though having suffered somewhat
from the drought has made remarkable
growth
The secret OF success has been the linn
ing OF the land and the use OF suitable
and liberal topdressings OF readily soluble

Russia Satisfies England.

The official statement that England is
satisfied with Russia's assurances as to the
eventual evacuation of Manchuria, made in
the house of commons yesterday by Wis
count Cranborne. under secretary of state
for foreign affairs. puts present quietus
upon any rumors of the imminence of war
between those two countries. Taken in con-
junction with the state OF the negotiations
between the United States and Russia on
this same subject 1t would seem that Lord
Cranborne's announcement is the formal
open declaration that Russia has determined
for the present at least to fulfill its pledges
and proceed with the evacuation Of the
province however tardily and reluctantly.
A temporary check has been administered
to the progress of the cherished Russian
plan of securing either an unfrozen Asiatic
or a Mediterranean port, or both Short Of
an iron-clad agreement among the Euro
pean powers to preserve the status quo in
definitely. under conditions precluding the
possibility of breach of faith and peace.
there Is no reason to expect a cessation of
Russia's endeavors to open its way to the
warm seas, preferably by way of the OAR
danelles or the Persian gulf. In Asia she is
now blocked by the pledges which she has
given for the evacuation of Manchuria,

Mr.. Cleveland in virginia,

A dispatch from Richmond, Va. says:
'ExGov. Charles T. O'Ferrall presented
a letter from ex-President Grover Cleve-
land to the j. E. b. Stuart Monument Asso-
citation which contained gift for the mon
ument to be erected in Capitol Square. The
letter contained a tribute to Stuart and a
reference TO our reunited country. The off,
GERS declined to tell the size of the check.
THE letter was received with cheers. and
the meeting sang -Four More Years of
Grover" led by Col. O'Ferrall."
Why have given a contribution to SO
worthy an object political twist? General
Stuart was one Of the most dashing and
capable of the confederate cavalry conf
manders. and so fine a man and soldier
that even a man like Mr.. Cleveland. who
took no part in the civil war, may we'll feel
admiration for him and a desire to see a
handsome monument rise in memory OF
him. Was the letter requesting a check
for Mr.. Cleveland political plant for
forwarding the third term movement in
Virginia? The question grows out of the
uses to which the check has been put

The Third Term Temptation.

In 1880. after his name had been widely
canvassed in the newspaper gossip in con-
nection with a third term in the White
House. General Grant was asked to state
for the publics information just what his
attitude was In the premises, and this was
the reply
II will neither accept nor decline an
imaginary thing. / shall not crafty my
enemies by declining what has not been
offered me. l am not a candidate for any
thing, and II the Chicago convention nomi-
mates a candidate who can be elected !
shall be glad. All my life l have made my
decision when the time for the decision las
arrived. shall not depart from my usual
course of action"
This was accepted by those who favored
his nomination as assurance that General
Grant would not decline the honor IL ten
dered. and they doomed him with increased
ardor from that day. And they came very
near carrying their point.
A Georgia editor who favors Mr.. Cleye-
lands nomination next year. and has been
booming him in his newspaper. wrote the
ex-President letter the other day asking
for some specific statement as to his atti-
tude in the premises. and received this
reply:

your paper which accompanied IT. caunot

he not reasonably certain to do this! Short
Of a positive announcement OF his candi-
dacy-which Of course he could not have
afforded-could Mr.. Cleveland have encour-
aged his Georgia admirer more than BY the
vagueness In which he INDUCED?
General Grant was not asked to lend his
name to q movement merely for the defeat
of Mr.. Blaine, who was characterized by
his enemies in the republican party as a
dangerous man for the party to accept as
its leader. What won him over was the
sentiment that the people had repentcd OF
the criticism with which many had assailed
him in 1875 and during the Hayes ilden
campaign the next year. and would now
welcome an opportunity to testify to their
perfect trust and confidence in him. Gen
eral Grant had smarted under those as
saults. and this assurance touched him.

Gray Of Delaware.

The latest suggestion in connection with
next years democratic leadership concerns
itself with Judge Gray of Delaware. He is
man of high and attractive class, and his
experience in public affairs has been con-
siderable AS senator he was not over
Swallowed even by the august memories Of
the Bayards and the Saulsburys, but made
a record for himself in the upper house Of
Congress Of which for dignity and useful
ness and application his friends are de-
servedly proud. But, in the circumstances
that exist would he make strong presi-
dental candidate? Could he unite the fac
lions Of the democratic party and win at
the polls?
For some reason, Mr.. Cleveland when
President seemed not to put q high valua-
ton upon Judge, then Senator. Gray. At
any rate. he refused to appoint him to an
office for which the admirers Of the Della
ware man thought him particularly well
qualified and wanted him to have. 1t was
the associate justiceship of the Supreme
Court which Mr.. Cleveland after his Sc
lections Of Mr.. Hornblower and Mr.. Peck
ham for the place had been rejected by the
Senate. bestowed upon Senator White Of
Louisiana. The Gray men thought the
jump from New York to Louisiana an ex-
been so excellent midway stopping place.
They offered no criticism of Mr.. White, but
they were greatly disappointed when their
favorite was passed over.
1t was Mr.. Mckinley of the opposition
party who recognized the Delawarean's
strong points and gave him his opportunity
beyond the confines Of the Senate, and then
rewarded him for his notably patriotic serv-
ices as a member of the Paris peace COM
mission by an appointment to the federal
bench. And 1t was Mr.. Roosevelt, another
member Of the opposition party, who gave
Judge Gray his second opportunity by ap-
pointing him member of the anthracite
coal strike commission. In a way, there
fore. Judge Gray, while good democrat,
is yet. a national quantity, the product
of republican favor.
1t is unnecessary to say that a man in
every way so able. 50 pure of life and so
proud of his country. would bear himself
we'll in the White House. But the question
of the hour Is. How would the "boys" take
to him as candidate? How would he APP
peal to the local machines of New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut, and to the
work-a-day politicians in Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois? The south. of course, would sup
port him. not on his record, but on his
label. But could he muster the votes neccs-
sary to success at the polls? It Is to be
doubted.

Fairgrounds for Children.
From the Philadelphia Press.


Elaborate schemes are on foot for the
improvement of the congested East Side
of New York city. They contemplate the
widening of some streets that now cut

small parks and, more important still, the
creation of a number of children's play
grounds Wide streets, public parks and
imposing buildings have been heretofore
the features of municipal development and
Improvement A city is planned and man
aged by adults, and they know what they
want. 1t is beginning to dawn on the
adult intelligence and conscience that chill
dren make up a large share of a city's
population, and that their education, health
and proper development are of immense
Importance to the city hereafter, If not
Immediately. Schools are provided for their
education, but little or nothing has been
done for the hours they are not in school.
They have no place to go where they can
feel they are not in the way and can play
as nature intended them to do. The vii
lage green" where all the young could play
and sport, has not been perpetuated and
multiplied as 1t should have been in mod
ern municipalities. Wherever people live
there should be space reserved for the
children to play unmolested and get the ex-
ercise and happiness which goes with
healthful play. All children are entitled to
this much by right, but many thousands in
every city are wrongfully deprived of it.

"Unmanageable" Automobiles.
From the New York Tribune.

There seems to be an epidemic of unman-
ageability among automobiles. It has be-
come the daily plea of law-breaking scorch-
ers. One comes blaring and flaring down
the avenue at twenty miles an hour or so.
Arrested. Brakes wouldn't work and ]
couldn't check the machine on the down
grade" Another goes whizzing through
the park, across the meadow and where
not. Arrested. Again. 1.-THE machine was
out of order and could not be controlled ,,
So it goes on, apparently ad infinitum. Yet
we seem to remember having heard some-
thing about the vast advantage of auto
mobiles over horses, in that they never
SHE'D. never ran away, never became I'M

Street Dust.
From the New Bedford Standard.

New btUIOfu
There can be no doubt that the filling
the air with clouds of fine street dust is in
more ways than one injurious to the health.
This dust cloud is especially harmful to
persons with delicate threats and lungs,
and 1t must be no inconsiderable factor in
aggravating the all-prevalent catarrhal
affections with which so many people are
afflicted Communities which permit this
disgrace lack something of complete en-
lightenment and progressiyeness. There
ought to be genius to devise remedy, and
there ought to be public spirit and intelli-
gence to carry 1t into operation.
