The unkindest cut of all was the re-
cent announcement through the press
that Judge Parker of New York had
been selected as chairman Of the com
mittee on resolutions for the democratic
national convention and that hissclcc.
ton had been endorsed by WI. Bryan.
OF course Mr.. Bryan denies that he has
given his consent TO such selection Of
chairman and says that he has not been
consulted on the question Of a chair
man. It is very natural to suppos,
that, with the convention only a month
away, the question of chairman of the
committee on resolutions has been Civ
en- some consideration by the lcfd rs of
the party and it isycry probable that the
name Of Judge Parker has been men
toned for chairman but not very prol.
able that his selection has been endors-
ed by Mr.. Bryan. 1t is also possible
that Mr.. Bryan's wishes may not de-
eide the question Of the selection Of
man for this position.

The work Of bringing about peace and
harmony in the democratic ranks in
Denver does not seem to be progressing
very satisfactorily. Mayor Specr. in
recent speech at a banquet, venotice
that he had tolerated yellow journalism
in Denver as long as he proposed to and
that from now on he would wage ag-
gressiye warfare againstit. This means
that he must wage war not only against
The iournals Of his enemy, Patterson,
but also against the Denver Post his
'l9Ilill1 friu, d "a ii0j forUar W ii.silo-
cent CAMPAIGN. Patterson replies 10
this threat by cartooning the mayor as
a spoiled baby" who declares that he
wont be good butts going to boycott.
With such a program as this, the dem
ocratic leaders Of Denver will certainly
be able to entertain their convention
visitors in fine style and at the same
time advertise Denver as the citywhcre

Germ of a Bad Cold.

One of the most difficult germs to iden-
tlfy is that OF the only too familiar COM
plant known as the bad old-the cold
which affects most particularly the throat
and nasal passages, and which signifies
an uncomfortable sickness, all the more
exasperating because 1t is given so little
sympathy. AS a matter Of fact, several
different kinds of microbes are concerned
in the production of this special malady-.
half a dozen Of which are being fed on
bottle food at the Washington laboratory
and nobody has yet been able to find out
which one of the lot is chiefly guilty.
Living under such artificial conditions
as we dove are all of us like hothouss
plants-a slight chill produces a conges-
ton in the membraneous lining Of the
breathing passages, and as a result a To-
cal congestion follows. At once the hos
tile microbes-always present in numbers
in the nose n throat-get busy, feedir;.
upon the tissues, and trouble follows. Not
only do they create a good deal Of local
Irritation, but incidentally they excreta
poisonous products, which find their way
into the blood and are carried III its
stream to all parts of the body, causing
that general feeling Of lassitude and dis
comfort which is characteristic OF such a
cold.
Maybe the new vaccine" treatment
may prove to DO Of value as a preventive
OF grip the next time a serious epidemic
of that malady sweeps the country. Its
germ Is already identified. and. as a mat
ter Of course, Is kept in stock at the
factory in Washington. One Of the small
est of disease producing microbes. 1T is
also one OF the most difficult to grow, re-
curing either human blood or pigeons
blood as food. 1t is q bacillus or rod
shaped organism, and. as now known. it
produces quite a variety of complaints,
according to the part OF the body in
which it finds Judgment. In the throar
and lungs it starts up one kind of COM
plant. In the intestines another, and in
the nervous system another. and 1t ever
attacks the membrane that covers the
brain sometimes, inducing a kind of men
ngitis

THE NECESSITY OF
CROP ROTATION
Only Means by Which Large
Yields of Wheat May Be
Obtained in Old Soils.

From The Future Wheat Supply of the
United States in September Century.
Wheat farming In a majority OF the
wheat-produclng regions OF the United
States Is still carried on in a slothful and
careless manner. 1t is the type of agri-
culture that is followed by the farmer
with the least ability and business capac-
ity. His knowledge OF agriculture is US
ually less than that OF any other class of
farmers. excepting perhaps the tenant
farmers OF the South; and so long as ma
lures bounty; in the form of soil fertil.
ity. lasts. he prospers. Then when the
soil loses Its readily available fertility,
when noxtous weeds choke the grain, and
insect pests are ampant the common
proceeding OF the wheat farmer is to move
westward. and begin the process OF soil
robbery anew. '
Tor many years is not necessarily infer
tile and permanently u~nproductlve be-
cause OF such cropping. Continuous wheat
culture quickly reduces tine supply of or
Eanio matter In the soil, and therefore in
lures Its mellowness and water-holding ca
pacity. properties which are essential in n
yrain-growing soil. The most available
emcnts of mineral plan. food are also
rapidly exhausted, by wheat, and the crop
having also exhausted the organic matter
tf the soil, the conditions essential to SOIL
decay are Impaired. and the production
of new supplies OF mineral plant food in
The soil is checked. Soils that have been
brought to this condition may be reno
waited and, made extremely productive
again by Intelligent schemes Of crop ro-
tation. use of live stock and soil ttllage.
1t is to be hoped that the present wheat
iands Of the United States can be util-
lied for wheat production for many gen
erations to come: but this can be done
only by making wheat alternate with 9TH
er field crops in the scheme of cropping.
instead Of growing the crop continuously
until the land must undergo q period OF
renovation before it is again productive.
IL systems OF agriculture could be instt-
tuted on all the soils OF the United States
In which the grain. grass and, cultivated
crops were alternated. the fertility Of our
soils could be indefinitely maintained. AS
agriculture is now practiced. however. one
region produces a large acreage of one
crop to which 1t is peculiarly fitted a,
the present time. and some other region
another crop. Thus in many regions fer
tility is not conserved. but rapidly ex-
hausted. and the Intensive systems of ag-
riculture which prevail IN the eastern part
OF the United States build up the eastern
soils at the expense of the fertility Of the
West.

How New York Taxes.
From tho Minnaa mills Inllrnal

The New York practice is to assess
all land on an equal basis, whether inn
proved or not. Then the buildings are
valued and assessed separately. 1t
makes no difference TO the state, under
this view of things. whether an owner
is getting an income from his property
or not. If he is not, il is probably be
er words, lie holds the property for
speculative reasons. The tendency.
when every property owner has to pay
taxes on al equal basis for his land. is
TO improve it quickly. In other words.
the New York system end oward an
u%pbuilding of the city as rapidly as
the demand from renters will permit.
Naturally, also, this tends TOWARD
keeping rents down to a normal basis.
The full valuation system now used
In New York raises a number of ques-
tons. One of the most serious objec-
tons is that With the full assess
ment rolls it produces, there is
a temptation on the part Of the tax
spenders to be extravagant. The bond
limitations, set by charter. constitution
or legislature, are enlarged, and oppor-
tunities for adventure with the public
funds are increased.
On the other hand, the great adj
vantage OF assessing property at its
full market value is that it equalizes
the poor man. the middle class man
and the rich man. 1t is in the margin
which lies between percentage assess
ment II full assessment that the rich
tax dotger finds his opportunity for
Sinking his share of the burden 1t is
easier for the man with much property
to u~ndervalue and conceal 1t. than for
the ordinary citizen, whose modest
hOme is OF known value and whose be-
OnginS are easily appraised.

Ate $50 Worth Of Peaches.

From the Chicago Evening Post.
The late William C. Whitney wanted
to do something out Of the ordinary
when he gave his first cabinet dinner as
u member of President Cleveland's cab
met. He secured the markets of WASH
ington for d~elicacies. For fruit, he de-
cided he would have peaches.
1t vas in the middle of February. and
there were no peaches in Washington.
He found a man In New York who said
he could get some. and Whitney ordered
several baskets.
The dinner was a great success. In
discussing it next day Judge Lamar
said:
Those peaches were fine. MI. Whit
ney. Where did you get them?"
in New York Mr.. Whitney said.
"a man there found them for me-"
Peaches in February are certainly a
great treat continued Lamar. "If 1t
is u tair question. how much did they
COST"
They cost SIS e dozen" said Whit
ney.
And did President Cleveland eat any
of them he is so found of fruit"
Did he ga any of themo" exploded
Whitney. q thought he rather crowd

Disastrous Crops.

mo more big cherry crops for me-" said
the man with the long chin WHISPERS so

Talk about the crops in that particular
line of fruit being light this year! It's all
bosh! Had the biggest crop of biggest
cherries I ever had, but before next sea-
son I'm going to cut down all my trees.
Too much of a good thing. Cost more
thar they're worth. l let my chickens
run loose in my orchard. Course they
ran around under the cherry trees. Picked
a few green cherries up off the ground.
Lived high on them. When the cherries
got ripe a little wind would blow the
cherries off the trees. Chickens would be
standing under the trees. Cherries got
so big that when they fell and often struck
a chicken that fowls life went out right
there. Every cherry that fell seemed tn
kill a chicken. When the cherry crop was
all gone l took the count. Found that +

Pitiful State Of Thing. at New orIean,

Fieifui state OF Things at New Orleans.
From the Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin.
The naughty Caucasian race can not
get much glory out of what occurred at
New Orleans last night.
The evening had been fixed up by
colored people of the city for a spelling
match in honor of Marie Bolden, tho
colored girl who won the spelling con-
test held at Cleveland in connection
with the convention of the National
Educational associations competition
open to pupils from public schools in
any part of the United States.
Marie had fairly won distinction by
spelling dow the champions Of Cleve-
land and Ptttsburg at the national
tournament. Not only that, III she
reflected credit upon New Orleans. Yet
when news of last evenings innocent
gathering got abroad, there were NUT
terings In the streets Of the city which
reached the ears Of the mayor who
withheld a permit for the affair. on the
ground that 1t might prove an incen-
tive to a race riot with consequence
dreadful to New Orleans.
So New Orleans avoided disorder, but
poor little Marie Bolden missed the
honor that was to have been paid her.
Certainly New Orleans cannot boast
very highly OF the sense OF Justice
which dwells in the breasts of its white
inhabitants.
