the people of Utah his opinion on the sub
Ject Of electing a Mormon apostle TO the
Sy;nate.
The fact is that Senator Kearns merely
repeated sentiments the President has ut
tered a dozen times, but which he never
fered to the people of Utah as his official
opinion. These sentiments have been ex-
pressed alike to the friends and opponents
of Apostle Reed Smoot, who is candidate
for the Senate. They were in every in
stance uttered in response TO direct in
expression of what Utah ought 10 do.
The President honestly believes that il
would be inadvisable to send an apostle
OF the Mormon Church 10 the United States
Senate The apostles relation to the church
is such to throw doubt on his ability
TO properly represent the civic interests of
the State. This objection might apply to
high disnitaries of any other religion. The
President does not object to a Mormon as
such. but thinks il unwise that dignitary
of the Mormon Church. charged with pc
culiar duties to that body. should be chosen
a member of either house OF Congress.
This sentiment the President unhesitat-
ingly uttered TO those seeking his opinion
from among the friends and opponents of
ment expressed by the late President Nc
Kinley TO Apostle Smoot himself some two
years ago 1t is expressly the same idea
that President Cleveland advanced 10 dis
courage APOSTLE Thacher when the latter
was a candidate. some six years ago.
The President has not interfered in the
Utah senatorial situation, further than to
express the above opinion He does not in
tend to mix into the contest any more than
he does to interfere in the senatorial situa-
ton in Pennsylvania, New York or any
other State.

Young trees should have a strip of tarred
paper or wire netting Fastened around the

foot in length will encircle good-szed

both ends of the paper into the tree will
hold 1t in place. The paper can be put on In

aped scrub the trunk and larger limbs

Dead and broken limbs should he removed,

the limb from the underside two inches or

wax or crude petroleum. The varnish
makes the best dressing. Seeds of stone
fruits should be packed between layers of
sand in small boxes and buried in the earth.

of fine horse manure over the rows TO pre-
vent the frost from injuring the seeds.

ON AMERICAN GOOD WILL
Tenure Of the British Ministry Ii Now
Largely Dependent.
Minneapolis Tribune.

Minneapolis Tribune.
A recent cable put British public opinion
in a nutshell when ii said that the first
note of American resentment of the SCOTS
of the German press at the Monroe doctrine
would break the Anglo-German alliance
and that the first protest of the United
States government against operations in
Venezuela would overthrow the Balfour
Ministry.
The uneasiness of the British people i'm the
alliance with Germany and their anxious
concern lest some offense be given to the
United States by the operations in Vene-
zuela has been plain from the beginning
Every step taken In either diplomacy or
war makes il palmer. This is the most
certain guaranty that there will be no
trouble. When England is so deeply con-
cerned TO give no offense We shall certainly
be slow to take it. The London papers are
beginning to come along. and they only
deepen the impression of good feeling for
us and distrust of Germany. 1t is queer
thing to see our old enemy, the Saturday
Review. joining with our new friend. the
Spectator, in abusing the Ministry for risk
ing our friendship by joining Germany in
bullying an American republic.
The essence of the complaint is that the
Ministry has joined Germany in pressing
claims whose whole extent is not known
and agreeing not to withdraw from the
union till Germany is satisfied. This is
called a blind and dangerous alliance But
IL Is clear that parliament would overthrow
the Ministry and break the alliance in a
minute if the operations of Germany be-
came offensive 10 the United States, lust
as the British abandoned Napoleon in Mex
leo soon he violated the Monroe doc
trine
The truth is that the Balfour Ministry
hangs by the thread of good will The
ministers are distrusted almost as much
as the German Emperor. who is accused
of making catspaw OF Lord Lansdowne
In order TO stir up bad blood between the
Anglo-Saxons. Lord Transformers miser-
able failure In the War Office is remem-
bered and the old talk of the incapacity
OF court favorites in Office is revived This
constant strain on the alliance Is beginning
10 be felt in Germany. and we see a sud
den impatience to finish the affair some
how before II breaks down utterly. The
incident is new illustration OF our COM
manding position in world politics. and il

In the February Parsons is an interest
ing article by ID. A. Wiley, Farming by
Steam" in which Is described some of the
remarkable machinery used in modern
farming. One of the most useful machines
is the great traction engine, used in the
place of horsepower. In California the
new steam tractors" as the engines are
called are finding high favor.
OF course. small steam engines have long
been in use all the world over 10 haul farm
machinery along the country highways. 10
operate threshing machines and now and
again for ploaghing purposes. when the
engine winds in a cable attached TO the
plough. and so draws the plough across TIE
field. But the Western tractor does far
more important work. and Is quite differ
ent type. In the first place. note It's huge
ness. The machinery is supported on three
great wheels. having tires five or six feet
in width. so that they appear like enormous
barrels of steel. On either side a huge
sprocket chain encirclcs the wheels, with
links made Of steel foot long and an inch
thick. each tested to withstand a pull of
go tons. Every detail is on similar scale
of huSencss and strength.
In it's wide tires lies one OF the secrets of
the tractors strength They gain such a
grip on the surface. no matter how sandy
or how soft the field road may be, that
they exert an enormous tractive force, and
the wheels cannot slip under the heaviest
load

COMMISSION SITS TO-DAY
GRADE-CRossING QUESTION TO RE-
CEIyE CONSIDERATION.
City Engineer Called Upon for Maps
and Necessary Data-ResurfacinS
OF Streets-City Affairs.

The Embarrassing commission VIII mold
its second meeting this afternoon at 800
o'clock in the private Office or the Board
OF Public Works. which has been provided
for the occasion No other preparation has
been made except by visit of Vice Chair
man E. NJ Johnson yesterday TO the
boards office He inquired if the engineer
was provided with maps Of the city showing
the lines OF railroad. the number of tracks
at each intersection and other details that
the commission may refer TO at any time.
City Engineer Nelson not in, but Mr..
Johnson was assured that all the data were
prepared
The commission will probably begin its
work by an inspection of the lines of rail-
road and by noting the peeuliarities and de-
tails of each intersection and its surround
ings. These notes will be made on the spot
and tabuiated for reference by the secre-
tary. BY this means the commission will
always have at hand its own informa ton
as to particular localities when they are
under discussion. The commission will dis
cuss its programme at to-day's session.
