There is annually SO much good grass
mercilessly manslaughtered in making it
into hay that it becomes the duty of every
publisher, editor and agricultural writer
in the land, happening to have better
knowledge of haymaking, to begin with
the hay season. preaching as earnestly as
they can. at every opportunity, better
principles, until radical reform in much
Of our haymaking practice shall have been
achieved. AS clover usually comes first
in the routine Of haying. and the season
for putting mowers afield is close at hand,
let us bear in mind that the best standing
condition of clover is when the plant itself
is fully developed, and the heads in full
but early bloom, before any considerable
proportion of them have assumed the
slightest tinge of brown. Then, instead
of being roasted. broiled and baked in the
|scorching sun until it is as black as Japan
tea, as is too frequently the case with
clover hay. the best plan is to cut after
the dew is off in the morning. cure, spread
or in the swarth, as much as can be done
in five or six hours of clear. dry weather,
then twenty-four hours more in small
cocks, sheltering. from dew and rain, and
haul in and put away with the leaves still
green, wilted but not in the least crisped
or blackened by the sun.


The other grasses are best cut when the
stalks and foliage have attained full growth
and the seeds are entirely developed, but
still in milky state. Like clover. they
should be cooked after few hours sun
curling, finished off in the cock, cured but
not in least crisped, and hauled in while
still green in color, elastic and possessed
of all the inviting aroma of new mown
hay" If the foundation of bays and
stacks are made well up clear of the ground
afording full and free ventilation under
meath, and then in stacking or slowing a.
way layer of clean dry straw, say six
inches in depth. is placed every two feet
between the courses Of hay, there will be
no danger Of clover or any other kind Of
grass heating. moulding or rottiDg. though
put away great deal greener than is the
general practice, and infinitely better hay
will be the result. lt.-Cosnso.

with them in the people, and they dared not
venture for while; but, keeping up the cry,
they finally screwed their courage to the stick
ing place and made their great attempt, and
this is the result They have proved to the
nation that the President has been guilty of no
offence; has done no act that he had not full
power and authority to do; has sinned against
nothing but their party programme, and has
had the high courage TO disregard that party
programme where it was in conflict with the
interest OF the country. Such is the appear
ance impeachment will present In history.


BY the record of this trial, therefore, the
President is presented as man who took
large and statesmanlike view of our troubles
and who acted in the spirit of true patriot
with earnest loyalty to large view of the
nations necessities. By that very record he is
acquitted of all offence that the people would
punish, and all that is now to be insisted upon
is that the name of the people shall not again
be used to cover party purpose. Except in
this view it would be unimportant how the SEN
ate might vote. 1t cannot condemn the man
whom the record acquits. A vote cast for
conviction would, as between the court and
the accused, injure only the Senator who cast
it, But we have right to demand that the
State shall not be involved in the disgrace of
the Senators who are 80 regardless of honor,
OF truth, of law, of justice-so regardless of
their own characters and of common decency-
as to vote for the conviction of the Presi-
dent. Mr. Morgan and Mr.. Conkling, Sena-
tors from New York, are counted upon
as certain to vote that way. We
know not how they can reconcile such
vote to their consciences. We know
not whether conscience will have much to do
with it, but we know that If these men vote in
that way they will vote in defiance of the uni
versal sense of their constituency. New York
is against impeachment, heart and soul, man
and boy, woman and child, wherever there is
thought, reason and judgment; wherever there
is an intellect not clouded by the spirit of party
revenge or fanatical devotion to narrow
policy Mr.. Disraeli, in his speech on the
Irish Church the other day, raised the point of
the ''moral competency" of national legisla
lures to deal at all times with certain ques-
tions. He said that on great points affecting
the fundamental laws Of the country IA Par
lament was not morally competent to decide
if those who elected it had not some intima-
ton that such questions would be raised"
Let Mr.. Morgan and Mr.. Conkling consider
this. They are to determine points in our fun

were elected the State has gone against the

In yesterdays HERALD we publish a special
telegram relative to the actual condition Of
affairs In the Mexican republic. The only
thing which is not new is the only thing which
is interesting, and that is that Mexico remains
true to the character which she has not un-
justly won. Chronic revolution is as predica-
BILE of Mexico now as it has been any time
since the year 1910. Party has succeeded
party in the government of that country with
rapidity which has had no parallel in ths
history of nations. From Yturbide to Maxi
milan and Jaurez each new party has promised
the country salvation, but salvation seems
more hopeless now than ever. Macmillan, we
were told, was the only barrier in the way Of
peace and prosperity Macmillan, as we
thought and still think, was very unnecessarily
put to death but while the republic is still in
peril anarchy thrives more and more. The
government of Juarez has shown itself utterly
incompetent to grapple with the revolution,
and the presumption justified by our latest
news is that certain States in the Northwest
will secede, and either form themselves into .
separate and independent republic or seek an
nexation to the United States. Matters arc
little better so near the Mexican capital than at
Vera Cruz and La Puebla. The end oanno
be far off when rebellion is everywhere.

BY special cable telegram from London,
dated yesterday we learn that the correspond
ent of the HERALD attached to the British ex-
pedtion in Abyssinia had just announced, BY
letter and telegraph dispatches, the highly i'm
portant intelligence that Major General Ma
pier, after passing Lake Ashangi by some few
days march, ordered dash in force ON the
defensive works of Theodorus at Magdala, and
that the assault was made by British troopsi
equipped in light marching order, some short
time subsequent to the 10th of March.


Our advices from Zoulla of the I'd of April
report that the result of the movement was
then unknown, in consequence Of break
which occurred in the field telegraph near the
army post at Senate interrupting communica4
ton between the troops and the shore.


The receipt of this news will agitate England
deeply, particularly so long as the people are
uniformed as to the consequences Of the
attack. 1t is probable Napier has triumphed,
but the break in the telegraph, just at q mo-
ment of such consequence, invites doubt, to
say the least of any important success
Should he have failed or sustained decided
repulse at the hands of the negroes it may pro-
duce very decided and immediate consequences
on the fate of the Disraei- Derby Cabinet, the
Abyssinian war not having been very popular

Charles Wsstmoreland, of Humboldt county.

as we hope to be always under similar circum-
stances. by sincere desire to promote the well

principles of right and justice. Mr.. Westmote-

selfish defense of the Union sentiment of the
loyal people during the late years of terrible
strife. As journalist, his influence is vet felt
everywhere Always bold for the right. and
foremost in the fray, he won reputation hardly
to be enhanced by any nomination or office that
his friends may bestow. Westmoreland has
pluck and backbone. He always expresses what
he thinks and believes to be right. We want no
time-server placed in this position-no apologist
for the faith he teaches. This is no time for nal
terers Mr. Westmoreland holds a leading pos


ton in his profession, to the discharge of The

knowledge and zeal that he has so clearly evinced
as journalist and legislator. He is of poDu
lar address, and is the best stump speaker in .he
District, if not in the State. Under his hand
ling, Copperheadism partakes of the scanty rro-
portions that properly belong to it. That he is
the choice of the Union men of the Distrct
hardly admits of doubt, and if be is nominated
there can be no doubt but that he will sweep Il e
District, and swell up a majority that will teach
Copperheads that we propose to camp on the
battle ground where onr victories have been
won. Mr.. Westmoreland belongs to no faction
of the Union party, but to the entire organiza-
ton. He is therefore acceptable to all, having
never impaired his justly earned influence by
any factional strife. With all Union men he
stands fair, and consequently dsliked and feared
by all the chiyalry and dough-faced Copper
heads. ds.-NarysvMe appeal.

the reverend gentleman sole charge of the State

also wanted that periodical to be printed at the
Office of the Spectator, the organ of the Metho-
dist Church South. Inasmuch the Teacher
has always been under the editorial control OF
an association of practical teachers, and is de-
voted to the cause of general educaton the at
tempt of the Superintendent to q gobble up the
concern for his own special purposes is decidedly
cheeky to say the least. The expense of pub
fishing the Teacher comes out of the pockets of
the people, who, we imagine, have no desire to
be taxed for the purpose Of supplying Fitzgerald
with another organ through which to dissent
nate his peculiar ideas of education and moral
ity. The Educational Society rejected Mr. Fitz-
gerald's proposition, and elected Samuel l.
Swezey, John SWEET, B. Marks, DR.. Lucky, and
o. P. Fitzgerald editors. The latter then
gave notice that he would not recognize the
Teacher official organ. The State Board
of Education, of which Governor I1aight is Pres
ident, then ordered the Teacher office to be trans
ferred to the Spectator Office and placed under
the control of Fitzgerald, which action is simply
an outrage and an unwarranted assumption of
power on the part of the State Board. This is a
dodge to add another organ to the Methodist
Church South and the Democratic party.-Shasta
