Why TREES DIE.-A practial tree
planter says: L once called at a
store Of a merchant who had a couple
OF days previous obtained some trees
from the nursery. There stood the
trees with bare roots exposed TO a dry
wind. When asked why his trees
Were not in ;he ground, he replied
that it had not been convenient 10
plant them, SO he had put them in a
nice cool place where the fresh wind
conld have a chance at them, and
ended with the complacent inquiry as
Wht t CT it was not the best that he
couid have done with them. He had
no idea how the wind was evapnraI-
ing the moisture from the exposed
roots, and how soon they would be-
come utterly worthless. Just in this
same thought!esS manner many Gus


toner from the nursery exposes his
trees to a dry wind or the sun, and
then if they tail TO grow he blames
the nurseryman for ii. Let the rur


chaSers OF trees remember that the
roots belong to the ground, and must
be kept fresh until they are planted" "

The Walla Walla Statesman and
LMion of last week have leading articles
on tne subject of annexing that portion
of Washington Territory to Oregon.
The Statesman says:


For years the Territory has been in O
comatose condition, and the sooner it is
allowed to die out the better. A proper
arrangement would be to give Oregon
the whole Of the Puget Sound country,
and in exchange for this, organize the
country east of the mountains into q new
Territory. We should then have natu-
raj boundaries, and an organization that
would secure harmony and o unity #
interests. With the "clam" country we
have nothing III common, and political
union with the Sound people has become
distastetul to great majority OF our
people. This arrangement, however,
we dispair of obtaining, and hence as n
choice of evils, we favor annexation to
Oregon. We are now tied to dead
carcass that is represented in Congress
by non.voting delegate political
ennuch-who has no interest in common
with US. The people living east of the
mountains are tired of it, and will glad
ly welcome transfer to Oregonand
the position of equals in moulding the
destinies of a live State. Our voice is
for annexation.


And the Union takes the same side
warmly as follows:


The question of annexing Walla
Walla and Columbia counties to Oregon
is becoming most interesting one to ma
ny people,. As we expected, the people
over on the Sound are becoming greatly
interested. They never took much inter-
est i'll this section, except that they al
ways looked in this direction for about
twelve or thirteen thousand dollars of
Territorial tax each yeat--they were
interested in MS to just that sum, and
nothing more; and SO long as we came
forward promptly with our money things
were all serene and lovely ON the
Sound. We were useful in furnishing
from one-third to one-fourth of the whole
amount that went to support the chronic
office-holders and political managers of
Puget Sound, and of course they do not
wish to lose this money. We and our
people are most anxious for a change in
their political relations. In the first
place they would prefer to be let out of
the fight by being annexed to Oregon,
and then let Idaho and the balance of
Washington Territory adjust their
boundaries to the best interests of the
several sections OF the two Territories.


Oregon will gladly assent to the pro-
ject, for it would simply restore to tho
State that which it originally includcd
in its boun1aries.

struggle would be renewed at daylight, and
when you went to your chamber you knelt
before your God and prayed that some dear
one might be saved through the terrible
fight and brought back safe to you when
the war was over? Remembering all this,
do you think it respectful to the million
living boys in blue-without saying any
thing about the five hundred thousand dead

The following are two extracts from
speech delivered in Aurora, recently, by
Mr.. VIM. Lathrop of Chicago, upon cur
rent politics


"For the last twenty years there has not
been real reform that now bears the
stamp of law, but what had its origin in
the Republican party. 1t is true these
reforms have not always been carried out !;
but it should be taken into account that a
body comprising between 100000 and
30,000,000 of people necessarily moves
slowly. Those who went in search of re-
form in 1872 have returned again, conf
dent that true reform was alone to be found
in the Republican party. Hayes, in his
letter of acceptance, pledges his honor that,
if he is elected President, the constitutional
power of appointment shall not be misused.
What the Cincinnati platform lacks In
certainty on this point his letter certainly
makes good"


OF this Democratic platform Mr.. Lath-
rop said "Read this Democratic plat
form and find out, if you can, what the
party is for. IF any man can tell, from
reading that document, what the party
proposes to do with the Government, he
ought to have a patent on his ingenuity.
No one can tell what it is for, save and
except this 1t thinks that what is de-
sired to purify the Government is, that the
Democrats should hold Office. Beyond
that, / think no man can discover what
the party is for. You wold not trust an
individual if you could not tell what his
principles were from day to day If he
professed to be something one day and
Year: 1876

something very different another day you
would say promptly that you would not
trust him. Now, party is nothing but
an aggregate of individuals, at the very
best and, remembering this fact, we have
only to look at the recent past of the Demo
cratic party to Judge whether or not it is
worthy of trust. In 1861 this party
declared the War for the Union a failure,
and denounced the Republican party as a
band of usurpers for attempting to suppress
the Rebellion by force of arms. In 1868
the Democrats were denouncing everything
the Republican party had done to recon-
struct the Union, as unconstitutional. In
1872 they denied their own existence, by
gulping down Horace Greeley, who had
been their lifelong enemy. In 1876 this
party Of Greenbackers at the behcst of Wall
street, becomes an absolute hard-money
party. But the most ridiculous part is to
come. Hardly have the delegates at St.
Louis got home before the Democrats met
again in State Convention at Springfield
and gulp down Lewis Steward, the nominee
of the Greenback party"


In the above terse manner Mr.. Lathrop
summed up the record of the Democratic
party. There was very large audience,
and his speech was received with much
enthusiasm.

the armament of Notifications million and
a quarter. in all four and three-quarter mill
ions, Of which the House ought not to give
him more than the odd seven hundred and
fifty thousand dollars, and thus save four
millions more, without the least danger
to the country. That would make a total
saving of eleven and half Millions very
handsome sum for this centennial year of
peace and jubilee.


We conclude with one suggestion. Any
scheme of proper and necessary economy
such as we have suggested will relieve from
their present duties a number of very able,
thoroughly trained and highly educated army
officers. 1t is not necessary for the House to
put these gentlemen on half pay or to retire
them from active service If the friends of
reform in the public service are in earnest
they have here force ready at hand to help
them. No part of the public service needs
reformation much as the Indian Bureau.
Let the House direct that the two superin-
tendents of Indian affairs the seventy
agents, the seven special agents, the three
lndlan inspectors ana inc very numerous
persons otherwise concerned in distributing
treaty goods and attending to the ''civiliza-
ton" of the Indians, shall be selected from
army officers. In that capacity they will be
extremely useful. When army officers only
are made Indian agents we shall have taken
the first real step toward the civilization of
these so-called wards of the nation" We
shall take another occasion to review the
naval estimates.

impeachment OF Governor Kellogg.


We fear the democrats of the Louisiana
House of Representatives will perpetrate q
great blunder to-day by their contemplated
impeachment of Governor Kellogg. They
can have no expectation of securing his con-
viction in trial by the republican Senate.
The movement is a trick. more dexterous
than wise, for putting the democratic
Speaker of the House in temporary posses
sion of the gubernatorial chair with a view to
the next election. 1t is not so much an act
of justice against a criminal as scheme for
gaining party advantage. By the constitu-
tion of Louisiana an impeached officer is
suspended from his functions until the con-
clusion of his trial, and in Kelloggs cas-
it is calculated that such suspension would
be equivalent to an absolute removal The
Legislature is about to adjourn and will not
meet again in regular session until next JAN
uary, when Governor Kellogg's term will
have expired. If he is impeached now, and
the Senate should not be in session to try
him until the Legislature meets next year,
the impeachment would have the same prac-
teal effect as a conviction and sentence
which is the result aimed at by the demo-
Gratis


In order to get beforehand with his ene-
mics and defeat their game Governor Kel-
logg has called an extra session of the Legis-
lature to meet Immediately after the adjourn
ment; but his authority to issue such
n call is disputed on some techni-
cality of which we cannot judge not
having copy of the Louisiana constitution
at hand. But if the republican Senate re-
spends to the call the trial will proceed
and there can be no doubt of a prompt
acquittal. If this is accepted as valid the
democrats will have made great furry for
nothing but if the right of the Senate to try
and acquit is disputed the State will be dis
turbed by new bloody conflict leading to
federal interference for restoring tranquility.
There is no excuse for incurring so great
danger and as the whole movement is
political trick the public sentiment of the
country would Justify federal interference.
That unfortunate State has suffered enough
from civil disturbances, and it is to be hoped
that the passions of reckless politicians will be
held in check by the united public opinion
Of the business classes, who have nothing to
gain and much to lose by q renewal of the
old conflicts.

ing English Professional Oarsmen.


Boyd, Chambers, Bagnall and Nicholson,
very fast English professional four, are
which our best rowers, both professional
and amateur, may we'll follow They ask
any four men in England to row them a
race, not many weeks hence, over either the
Thames or Tyne championship course. II
this challenge is declined or if they win they
will assume the title of champions of Eng
land This will settle in the fairest possible
way who really deserve that title, and
remove any doubts ON a point which
might, perhaps, afterward become i'm
portant. Thereupon. if successful, they
purpose coming directly to this country to
train for the Centennial races in late August
and early September. Thus they are not only
together early, and so have abundant time
to get into the best condition and thoroughly
learn the course, but they will have proved
that they really deserve place in that race
at all. For, unless we are mistaken, the
Schuylkill track will not properly accommo-
date more than four crews abreast, and there
is every indication that in that race there will
be several crews still abreast even far into
the second mile. The probable competing
crews for any one of the contests will almost
certainly far exceed this number. To row the
race in heats, even though arranged with the
best of judgment. might throw entirely out
of the great event-the final heat-some
crews which ought to be in it, and
which could beat some of those which
would so get in, and it is simply impossi-
BILE to get the conditions for the different
heats absolutely the same, to say nothing of
the abundant opportunity for faulty manage
ment and the tiring of the vast assembly by
needless delays


1t would be well, then, for all creys which
mean to enter to meet several weeks before,
either on that track or at Saratoga, and de-
termine who are the champions of our own
country in their respective classes. This
would save many of local repute and an over
estimate of their powers the modification
of so public and pronounced q defeat as
would be in store for them in the great event,
and would only admit to the latter men
worthy of place in it. Already the two
Boston teams have arranged for just such
preliminary trial, or, rather, for two such, the
first to be next Monday, the second in
june. If the Longshores, of Portland,
the team already made up at Halifax and the
Paris crew of st. John should join them in
these meetings it would thoroughly sift the
claims of all American professional crews
east of the Hudson to place in this great
race, while the Wards, Biglins and the Pitts
burgers could, by similar trials, tell who had
better stay at home. Another and excellent
result would be that the winners could, by
trying the best man in the other crews in the
place of their own poorest one, make not
unlikely most advantageous changes, suf.
ficiently so even to retain the worlds cham
pionship on this side of the water, while on
the present plan it may slip away, though
even only by a foot.

The COLLISION IN THE BAY, resulting in
the sinking of the pilot boat Caprice by the
steamship New Orleans, is of n class which
we do not wish TO see of common occurrence.
Last October the steamer John Gibson ran
into the yacht Mohawk, and, although the
Mohawk is still ahoat, there seems to be a
similarity between the circumstances of the
two collisions which shows that there is n
danger to navigation in our port that should
be provided against. We hope to see rigid
