Repartee in Church.

The friendly and familiar atmos-
phere of the average small rural west
ern church sometimes gives rise to
embarrassments. DR.. David is a prom
inent man in a little far western
church, and he generally takes quiet
little doze during the sermon. Sister
Sarah is an elderly, longwinded
woman, who likes to "exhort' after
the preacher has concluded his re-
marks. Not long ago, at night serv-
ice, Sister Sarah arose and discoursed
at great length. The listeners became
visibly restive. DR.. David also arose
and said bluntly:
"Sister Sarah, it would be an impo-
sition to detain this congregation any
longer"
With flashing eyes Sister Sarah re-
torted.
'Tain't no impersition on you, doc
tor; you've took your nap
Then the clergyman, with nplifted
hands. said benignly: Let us be dis

WHERE THE TUBERosEs GROW
Millions of Bulbs Raised Each Year
in One County of North
Carolina.

Most of the tuberoses now bloom
ing in the open about New York and
in the forcing houses of florists come
from comparatively small area in
Duplin county, N. c.. Here group of
nursery men produce annually many
million bulbs of the tuberose for sale
in this country and for expectation
to- Europe, says the New York Sun.
The bulbs flourish there wonderful
ly in light sandy soil, with porous
clay subsoil, which seems to provide
exactly the right conditions for them.
The young bulbs are set out in the
spring to be developed for the next
years Towering
The crop, which must be richly
manured and frequently cultivated,
natures in August, and it gathered
from six to nine weeks later. The
tops are then cut off at the ground,
and the bulbs are plowed out, much
as if they were potatoes They are
gathered by colored women, who
shake them free of earth and remove
the young bulbs to serve to start the
next year crop.
The most careful growers have the
bulbs punched in tens by little ne
groes and hung up indoors to dry.
Sometimes artificial heat is used to
hasten the drying. The curing pro-
cess occupies from one to two
months.
The bulbs are not ready for mar
ket until December. They are then
packed in paper-lined barrels, holding
from 600 or 500 to 1900, and in these
packages they are shipped to various
parts of the world
New York is the port from which
most of the bulbs are shipped to Eu-
rope, and exporters here sometimes
send away as many as 100000 bulbs in
a season. The price, which has great
ly fallen within the last ten years,
varies from $1.75 to So thousand.
Mammoth bulbs are from six to
eight inches in circuT ference. After
that, come No. bulbs, which are at
least four inches in circumference,
and No. 2, which are at least three
inches in circumference. The small
bulbs produce satisfactory flowers in
the south, but the larger bulbs are
better for forcing in the north.

vacancy. Thus II the Gasman had the
hope that one of his henchmen might be
elected, only to retire to make room Tor
him. 1t Is now blasted. So the case reverts
to the possibility Of two regular republic
cans, named by a coalition with the demo-
Gratis. or two democrats, by the same coali-
ton; or one regular republican and one
democrat. or two Addicks men, or none at
all. The regular republicans have nothing
more to gain from electing two democrats,
and no more reason to elect one democrat
with one Of their number, than they had at
the outset Of the session, when the latter
offer was made to them. II the democrats
reject the proposition now being pressed
upon them by their own party to coalesce
with the regulars to elect two republicans
the choice reverts to the regulars accepting
the offer of two Add1cks men, with Gov
ernor Hunn's guarantee against filing
vacancy with Addicks himself, or a con-
tinued deadlock.
The situation is more complex than ever,
and meanwhile the friends and well-wishers
Of Delaware are hoping that some arrange
ment may be perfected between the regu-
lars and the democrats for the election of
either one member of each side or two from
one party. Addicks' pretense Of withdrawal
has only increased the country's distrust Of
him, and has made him even more impos-
sible than before as senatorial quantity.

The Statehood Measure.

Several weeks ago Mr.. Quay pressed for
vote In the Senate on the omnibus state
hood bill on the ground that the measure
was thoroughly understood by everybody,
and that discussion Of it was merely OBJ
struction. Discussion, however, has devel-
oped a feature Of the question relating to
polygamy which has obliged even Mr.. Quay
to put on his thinking cap. The bill, he as
much as comedies. needs amending in that
particular, although he is not prepared with
an amendment. tanning through a meas
ure OF SO much Importance to the whole
country as the one the Pennsylvania sena-
tor has IN charge should never be permit
ted The discussion so far has been very
profitable. Why not protract it7 Other
revelations as important as that relating to
polygamy may come Of It.

Addicks' Fake Withdrawal.

The absurdity of the so-called withdrawal
Of Addicks from the Delaware senatorial
race was fully illustrated yesterday when
the union republicans Of the legislature
cast their ballots for him as though he had
made no announcement. Inasmuch as 1t
is plain to the world that he holds them In
the hollow of his hand this persistence can
not be set down as loving INSTRUMENTATION.
But further evidence, and better of the
pretense OF Withdrawal is had from a state
ment given by Addicks himself yesterday to
a New York World reporter, in the course
Of which he said:
Certainly I'm not out of the fight In
Delaware. l withdrew only from the pres
ent contest. Next year I'll sweep the state
ana Will have three-fourths of the legisla-
ture- My offer to the regulars will remain
open the rest of the season. They can come
INTO the caucus and elect two of our men,
or they can take our first proposition and
elect Addicks and man of their own"
At best this means that Addicks steps
aside for season or two, to return to the
light with renewed vigor. At the other end
OF the line OF possibilities is the choice of
Addicks and regular republican. notwfth-
standing the purported withdrawal. AS a
Z compromise Addicks proposes the election
OF two of his own men, which would be the
assured result of caucus of all the re-
publieans, the unions outnumbering the
regulars two to one.
Governor HUM has made his position
plain. declaring In the most emphatic terms
that he would under no circumstances an

The District Appropriation Bill.

The Senate appropriation committee has
ignored the appeals Of the District citizens
for a specific federal advance to be repaid
in definite period of years, in order to
provide Immediately the funds necessary
for the construction Of great permanent
works and to leave the refunding Of the
debt In part to future taxpayers. The bill
as it energies from committee provides for
immediate advances, to meet such deficien-
ces as may occur, and stipulates precise
term for repayment. This is scarcely more
satisfactory than the House method OF writ
ing the bill down to the exact limits of the
tax revenues and continuing from those
revenues the payment of the cost Of the
great works, a cash basis.
The Senate committee would have the
District go into debt to the federal govern
ment. but in a most unbusinesslike way. 1t
is hardly fair. indeed. to the federal gov
eminent thus to be drawn upon promiscu-
ously to cover deficits in the local revenues.
But it is decidedly unfair to the District to
be kept In state of uncertainty as to how
much money will be required by borrowing
from year to year. and how much of the tax
tax money will be available to meet cur
rent needs. 1t Is furthermore most unjust
to the taxpayers Of the present to require
them to assume the whole burden of the
cost Of the permanent works which will
chiefly benefit posterity.
The bill now drawn is in the nature Of
compromise between the House draft and
the Commissioners proposition. AS The
Star said the other day, there can be no
equitable compromise In the premises. The
vital issue between the House bill and the
Commissioners measure arises from the
choice between paying for the permanent
works on a cash basis and on a long-term
basis. Both the House and the Senate
drafts Of the bill impose cash payments on
the District, and against this the capital
continues to enter it's protest as unfair and
unbusinesslike and unusual.
