the trellis is built during this first year
this cord Is run to the first wire (the
top one) and fastened. The vine win
make the growth about as shown in the
cut during this first year. The trellis Is
an important feature Of the plan. The
posts should be set eight feet apart,
and 20 that they will stand about six
feet out Of the ground. Two wires are
used III the position, as shown In the
cut, the wires being fourteen inches
apart. In training the vine for the

canes grow select the strongest opposite
each wire, one on either side Of the
main stalk, and train them along the
wires; this gives US two arms, SO to
speak, running along each wire at the
end Of the second year from planting.
The third season the fruiting buds
must be handled, and It is good plan
to select every other bud to supply the
canes necessary for the upright growth
from the arms. This upright growth
Is shortened in from time to time dur
ing the growing season, SO as TO throw
the strength into the fruiting canes,

Corn ensilage and sugar beets were
tested at the Nebraska station as to
their value as succulent feed when
vided into two lots, the same as in the
experiment for testing alfalfa and wild
hay. The results shown by this expe.
riment were little in favor Of ensilage
but the difference was very slight. II
seems to be more a question of how
cheaply the two succulent feeds are
produced than of their feeding value
Both foods gave good RESULT and ware

(The pertinent part of the editorial is
as follows:
1T is easy to-day to smile at the thought
of what would have happened to the
North if the cause of the Union had been
beaten by the South; but if Lee had won
at Gettysburg, as lie came dangerously
near doing, Baltimore. Washington and
Philadelphia would have fallen into his
hands, the COnfederacy wOuid~have been
recognized by all Europe as q nation; the
whole South would have supported Lees
victory with intense energy and courage.
and i'll that event terms Of peace would
have made the Confederate bondholder
look smiling and the holder of United
States bonds look as melancholy as n
miser whose strong box had been robbed.

Gettysburg meant not simply the ineffec-
tual waste of the gallant blood of the
North, but it meant the loss of the bank
er's and the traders treasure. How

fallen in great cities. had Lee occupied

Verify. the great merchant and trader has
no real security to-day for single dollar
of his superfluous wealth except the bayo-
nets of citizen soldiery and those of the
Army of the United States, and because
of this the great trader and merchant and
banker is most deeply interested in max
ing our National Guard the finest body of
militia in the world instead of demoraliZ-
ing it by discriminating against employees
who seek TO join it. A single days MI
checked riot in a great city would cost
the great merchants, traders and bankers
very dear. The wonder is that the very
class whose stake is the largest in the eff

directly seek to demoraiZe it. ,,,,-..

make resolute and intelligent fight

THE American soldiers in the Philip
pines continue to hunt iadrones to their
holes in way that is very discourag;ng
to the brigand industry, and is most
startling change from the Spanish way OF
doing things. The latest achievement OF
this kind was when little band of scouts
led by Lieuts. Reese and Finlayson pene-
trated to the very headquarters of all the
robbers, scaled a double stone wall in the
face of terrific fire, and with dubbed
guns beat all the fight out of about 15O
ladrones, killing the leader. The boys
who follow the Old Flag seem to have its
full inspiration all the time.

Ii WE are to believe the dispatches, the
prospects for the ratification of the Canal
Treaty by the Congress Of the United
States of Colombia are constantly getting
glo0mier. Quite q number Of men who
claim to be informed on the subject think
there is no chance of the ratification With
our knowledge Of the character, or rather
the lack Of it, of the scrubby politicians
who form the governing class in South
America We interpret this to mean a hope
that they can squeeze out Of the United
States more than has been offered. They
think that we are limitlessiy rich and ex-
travssant, and that as we are determined
TO have the Canal, few millions more or
less will not be allowed to stand in the
way Of our plans. A million dollars more
would be sweet balm to the Bogota poll
ticians. Our State Department should
lose no time in letting them know that we
are up to the limit, and that unless our
offer is promptly accepted We shall drop
the Panama scheme, and take up the
Nicaragua. Such would be righteous
judgment upon those men, for five should
choose the Nicaragua route their chances
of getting anything at ali would vanish
The Panama route would become abso-
lutely valueless, and tho towns along it
which supply large portion of the Cdan-
biaR revenue would rot down as their peo-
pie moved TO the new cities built up on
the Nicaragua route.

HEIp no A nucH-prsERy1no GLASS.

There are over 100000 invalids OH the
pension rolls under the old law who re-
ceive less than $12 per month. These are
men who have succeeded in proving that
their disabilities are directly due to their
service. In order to secure the allowance
| they have had to go through the dreariest
| work of procuring evidence from comrades
and officers,ea large proportion of whom
| are row dead. They have had to undergo
| repeated examinations by the Boards OF
Surgeons, and their correspondence with
| the Pension Bureau has extended over
years of fearfully tedious waiting and let
writing. Their hearts have been sick
ened by calls for additional evidence"
and they have experienced all the sorrows
of the wearisome circum.ocution of Pension
Bureau methods.
Every one of them is now much older
than he was when his pension was al
lowed. His wants and disabilities have
greatly increased their tyrannous demands
upon him. Yet. if he applies for an in
crease he will have to so over much of
this again, and supply evidence whic..
may now be impossible to get, owing TO
the death of comrades and officers. No
one denies that as he grows older and
more necessitous his pension should be in
creased. But this would be impossible
under the rigid requirements for 'taddi
tional evidence" 1t is cruel at Ills time of
life TO require him TO so through the same
siege that lie did when he got his original
allowance. The passage of the II per
month service pension bill will immediate
ly increase his pension to more suitable
rate without any farther trouble to him.
OF the more than 100000 of this class, five
receive as little as 50 per month, and
43,323 get only Sc per month. 1t must be
conceded by every one that those who were
granted Sc per month years ago for
wounds and disabilities incurred in line
of duty now deserve at least S12 per
month. But they cannot get it without
this terrible ordeal of re-examination and
additional evidence" The service pen
sion bill will give it to them at once,
without any formalty. There are over
$4,000 who are getting SIS per month Or
less. The same remarks apply to them
as to those of the lower ratings. The
service pension bill will increase their pen
sions fully 80 per cent, which they emf
nently deserve at their time of life. There
are 10000 WHO are Receiving $40 per
month for wounds and disabilities incurred
in line of duty, and every one Of whom
deserves to have his pension raised ut
least 20 per cent, to $12 per month. These
instances show the justice of the pro-
posed $12 per month service pension bill,
and its effect upon all classes of pen
sioners. 1t will be great benefit to the
majority Of those at present on the PEN
sion rolls, as well as be grateful relief
to those who deserve to be on the rolls,
but have not yet succeeded in furnishing
sufficient evidence to meet the require
ments of the Pension Bureau.

Post Office Getting Busy.

The first arrest as an outcome of the
Post Office Department investigation came
Monday, when Daniel V. Miller, Assist
ant Attorney. was held for accepting {:
bribe. Removal from his place preceded
the action of the law officers. and he was
placed in custody by Inspector Chew il
the Office of Assistant Attorney Genera
Robb till his bail had been arranged will
United States Attorney Beach. The ar
rest caused a sensation at the Depart
mCnt.
The official story of the proceedings Is
contained in the following bulletin. which
was given out by PostmasterGenera
Payne. following a conference with NJ.
Robb:
Daniel V. Miller. Assistant Attorney in
the Office of the Assistant Attorney-Gen-
eral for the Post Office Department. is
charged with accepting bribe for deci-
sion in connection with a case before the
Department involving the fraudulent use
of the mails by John J. Ryan & Co. The
case has been in the hands of Inspectors
W. ]. Vickery, of Cincinnati, and r. M.
Fulton, of st. Louis, for some days. Com
plant was made by Inspector Fulton be-
fore a United States Commissioner in Gin
cinnati Saturday, and warrant was is
sued. Inspector Fulton arrived here yes
tercay, and fhis morning exhibited the pa
pers to District Attorney Beach.
The arrest of the person who offered the
alleged bribe will probably follow soon.

AS TO THE DATES.

There is one important feature in con-
nection with our $12 per month service
pension bill which we wish the comrades
to attentively consider, but to which they
have so far paid little attention. That is,
the dates between which the 80 days scr
vice must have been rendered. We have
placed the first date March 4, 1861, which
is that assumed by the G. A. r. to qualify
for membership in the Order. Probably
there will be no difference in opinion
about this date. The other date which
We placed in our drafted bill was Dec.
81, 1865. That is, the 90 days of SER
vices must have been between March 4,
1861, and Dec. 81, 1866. We were of the
opinion that placing the latter date so
late went far in Hberality, and possibly
April 8, 1865, would be a better date.
This is also the date established by the
G. A. r. in its requirements for member
ship. Some comrades have believed that
we should make the latter date still wider,
carrying it into 1866, as they say that
their regiments were not discharged until
that year. We should like to hear what
the comrades views are upon this limita-
ton.

THE MAN who commanded the first of
the u picked regiments selected to make
the famous charge at Spotsylyania Court
House has passed away. Gen. Clark S.
Edwards died at his home in Bethel, Me-,
May 3, on the anniversary of his fight at
Salem Church, do years ago. At the out
break of the war he was a contractor and
builder. but literally dropped his tools
upon the work on whicli lie was engaged
when the neHs came 10 him of the firing
on Fort Sumter, and tc!egraphed the Gov
ernOr for authority to raise company.
This was granted him, and he became
Captain of Co. 1. 9Th Me. in which he
served until GGines's Mills, when his
Colonel, having been wounded. his Lieu
tenant-Colonei killed and the Major inca
pacitated, the command of the regiment
devolved upon him, and ever afterward be
led the 9Th Me, enc of the most glorious
regiments that ever stood in line of bat
tie. 1t claims to have captured twice as
many prisoners as the total enrolment of
the regiment. He commanded the regi.
ment in its successful assault on Kappa
hammock Station. where lie captured over
1000 men. and 30 officers surrendered
their swords 10 him. He was promoted to
Brigadier-Gencrai, aad when he returned
home he re-entered the old business and
was quite successful. He was strict
temperance man, a Universalist in relig-
ion, and a Democrat in politics. In 1886
his party nominated him for Governor,
and he received the unusual number of
$1,000 votes. He was one of the Commits
sioners to the Worlds Fair at Chicago in
1893. He was loved and respected
throughout Maine as it was the privil-
ege Of few mel to be.

THE business men of Indiana are begin
ming to inquire through the papers what
is the meaning of the rapid decrease in
the pension rolls in that State. During
1902 the loss from the rolls was 1912
or an average Of nearly 100 per week.
This is a matter of serious importance to
the business men, since there are oveI
$1,000 pensioners in the State; $2,6I5,WC
pension money goes into circulation every
three months, and $40, 100000 every year
The business men agree with The National
Tribune, that this distribution of money is
a most healthful influence IN business, and
its decrease would be dangerous in help
ing precipitate panic.

1t is said that the New Orleans bar

Of their effect, in reading this account of
the United Confederate parade sent out by
the agent of the Associated Press:
"To New Orleans was revealed this day
what no man has seen for two-score years
and more. For few brief hours she held
close to her heart the incarnate spirit of
the Confederacy, and for her it lived and
breathed again. Always hers to love, it
was to-day hers to have and hers to hold.
Once more she pressed to her lips the
white starred cross of blue on the crimson
field aid flung it loose to the wind that
loved it well, the symbol of the cause for
which the heroes fought and by whose
blood it was purged and sanctified. 1t was
revelation in passionate patriotism, and to
the old soldiers of the South an offering
Of affection that was closely akin to wor-
ship
Think of such stuff being written by an
American, Of the people of city which
claims to be ''as loyal as any part of the
