WishlaftAi Letter. * Front oar regular eerrespondeot.* W a#hjxoton, March 30.18K.lion. William F. Harrtty, chairman at the national democratic committee, la not jit all dlabearteaed over democrat ic prospect*. He aaid, while In Washington; **The condition of the democratic party it far from hopeless and a sudden change in the tide may put it in excellent condition before November. Many thing* can happen in American polities Undue of thirty or sixty days, and and no party is ever so firmly intrenched that it has a sure thing on carrying the country in a national election. While the prospects of the democracy are uot superlatively rosy, they are far from desperate. It is a time in its history when its ablest men should go to the front and take counsel of each other, so its to avoid mistakes. My belief Is that when the delegates come together at Chicago, they will act tor the best interests of the party, and- that the convention will be full of enthusiasm. I do not believe there is any probability^ a bolt from the convention.” The much advertised revolt against Speaker Reed’s control of legislation In the house took place last week, but It wasn't much of a revolt and accomplished nothing more tangible than a loss of two days consideration of the' of the appropriation bills, which Mr. Reed wishes to rush. By a vote of 142 to 77, tho house decided to devote Friday to private bills, in accordance with the house rules, instead of the sundry civil appropriation bill in accordance with Mr. Reed's wishes, and i later by a vote of 103 to 25 to adjourn until Monday. Whether the revolt is to be rial, will be seen when another vote is taken with a larger attendance. : The democrat* aje, of oourse, helping along the revolt as tar as they cau. The present program is for the house to agree to the conference report in favor of its accepting the senate Cuban resolutions without any considerable debate, but there have been other programs of late that were not carried out. The chances are, however, In favor of this one. Senator Faulkner, who is^hairman of the democratic congressional campaign committee, said in the course of the debate on the attempt of the republicans to sneak ‘political legislation into an appropriation bill, through a clause in the legislative hill changing tho time for the meeting of the Territorial legislature of New Mexico from next December to May, 1$97, that the sneak was made on the hope that a republican president would be ojeeted and seated before that legislature met. Senator Wolcott, thinking to be very smart, said: “Do I understand that the senator says a republican president will” be elected?” “No,” promptly replied Senator Faulkner, “ouly those of most vivid imagination and who dream when they are awake will say that.” Senator Hill who first called attention to the little sneak game lathered by Senator Elkins and Delegate Catron, had the satisfaction of •oeiog it struck out of the bill by the vote of the senate. Democrats in congress are deeply interested in the series of joiot financial debates between Secretary Hoke Smith and ex-Speaker Crisp, which begins at Augusta, Georgia, this week and which will, it is believed, play an important part in deciding not ouly who will be the successor of Senator Gordon whose term expires next March, but the financial status of the Georgia delegation to the Chicago convention. The personal relations ©tf the two gentlemen are entirely pleasant so their disscussion will be limited to financial matters- The majority of the democrats in congress hold the opinion that Mr. Crisp will wiu tho senatorship and that the Georgia delegation \o the national convention will be for silver. Representative Farls, of Indiana, who knows that Reed would prefer v the devil to Harrison, gave one of the speaker's lieutenants a chunk of cold comfort when he said: “Only one man can defeat McKinley for the nomination at this late day, and be is Benjamin Harrison, lie could be

nominated if he permited his name to go before the convention. It may as well be understood, however, that he will make no deal to secure the nomination. Piatt, Quay and other leaders most support him without exacti ng any promises. Be will make no promises.” It is qalte certain not-' withstanding their present vicious onslaught on McKinley, that Platt, Quay and Reed would all much rather see McKinley nominated than Barrison. Col. John A. Wise, who is a republican, had thia to say about the prospect of his party in New York: j “Mayor Strong and Teddy Boosevelt would wreck any .party and two more grotesque political failures cannot be found in modern history. The republican party is in a had way both in the city and in the state.” President Cleveland and his cabinet have been invited to attend a democratic gathering on Jefferson’s birthday, April 13, at Monticello, Virgi as, the democrat’s birthplace. It May Do as Maeh for Ten. Mr. Fred Miller, Irving, III., writes that be had a severe kidney trouble for ninny years, with severe pains in his back and also that his bladder was affected. He tried many ao called kidney euree but without any good result. About a year ago be beI van use of Electric Bitters and found relief at once.

Seles. ^Spring has come, soon all nature will wake to life, yet as I look from my window today I see little token of anything of the kind, so we can not always judge by appearances for great forces, aud causes often sink out of sight for a time only to rise again, so so it is with the temperance cause. It is not dead, but may seem to sleep. Sacrates says, “There is no difference between, knowledge and temperance, for he who knows what is good and embraces it, who knows what is bad and avoids it, is learned and temperate, but they whoknow well what ought to be done and yet to do otherwise are ignorant and stupid.” Here are some comparisons that doesen't look well in the way we used some of our money in 1895. We gave to colleges. ...i... .i.I 12,379,820 We gave to cnaritie*.... 5,745,670 We gave to churches. . 2.0H0.150 Museums auil art galleries. . 1,724,500 We gave to libraries ,. ... 550.439 We spent tor tobacco.600,000,000 We spent for liquors__1,200,000.000 This last is gn increase of three hundred million over the last statistics gathered. Then we must add. | We spent ashfree Americans for Uonie and Foreign Missions all told 111,000,000. , These things would truly be discouraging, if we did not know that God rules in spite of evil that right will triumph in the end. During the winter of 1393, F. M. MartiB, of Long Beach. West Va., contracted a severe cold which left him with a cough. In speaking bow he cured it be says: “I used several kinds of cough syrup bpt found no relief until I bought a bottle of L'bamberlain’s Cough Remedy, which relieved me almost instantly, and in a short' time brought about a complete cure.” When troubled with a cough or ooMt use this remedy and you will not find it neoessary to try several kinds before you get relief. It has been iu the market for over twenty years and constantly grown in favor and popularity. For sale at 35 and 50 oents per bottle by J. U. Adams A boo. a It is not a miracle.

From Mora Till Ere. An early riser who is in the habit of walking toward town at six o’clock every morning has observed the windows of the upper stories in the houses he passed. A few were open two inches and here and there one was raised half a foot. The rest were closed. The owners of the closed windows were courting headaches, sluggish blood and fretful tempers. They who sleep in the clear, pure air, at the same'time being protected from the draught, arise with a refreshed feeling which is oolj increased by the invigorating influence of a very short bath. A brisk walk before the moderate breakfast and the individual is ready lor a half day’s difficult work. The luncheon at noon should be partaken of comparatively lightly if the perton is engaged in a sedentary oocupgUon. The out of door laborer needs a heavy noon meal. After the day's work is fiuished a night of healthy, hearty sleep Is next on nature’s program and one should sleep until a refreshed feeling comes and not for a stated number of hours.

Feeder* ai^comin* to recognize more end more the necessity of plenty of green food for stock when grass is getting short. Owner* of dairy cattle in particular feel this necessity. For two years at the Indiana experiment station, we have planted Canada field peas and oats, for this purpose. The first year of planting, we scattered pea seed at the rate of a boshel and oqe-half an acre over the ground and plowed this In three or four inches deep. A bushel and onehalf of oat Iseed per acre was then scattered over this plowed laud, which was then thoroughly harrowed. In 189$, the above practice was not tqPowed. The land was plowed about seven Inches deep, and then harrowed to a fine tilth. A mixture Of oats and peas, at the rate of one and one-half bushels of each per acre, was then drilled in, to the depth ot about two inches. The pian£& thrived with great vigor, until severe drouth checked their growth, in common with all other farm crops. Either method of planting will no doubt be satisfactory. Iu planting oats and peas, the first seeding should be gotten in at the earliest date possible, when the land may he satisfactory worked. Oue or two more plantings, at ten days intervals, will give a good succession of crops, covering about six weeks. While cutting the green crop may begin as early as wished, after some length of stalk has been secured, it is advisable to w&it.unttl the oat heads begins to expand, and when the peas are passing from the bloom. The best plan is to secure the green fodder as close to the maturity stage as possible, consistent with about three weeks of use for soiling. Oats and peas make highly nutritious and palatable food. They also give the earliest green fodder to be secured from plantings of the same season, and follow nicely after winter rye for soiling. This crop is coming more and more iuto favor. Oats and peas should only be planted early in spring, as these plants as a rule will not thrive from May or summer seedings. If not all fed green, the balauce of the crop may, with advantage, be plowed under or cured for hay. The expense for seed is not great. Oats may be bought in the market at prices varying from 1$ to 25 cents per bushel, according to location. The pea seed purchased by this station this spring, cost 90 cents a bushel laid down at the home depot. Id buying be sure and get Canada field pea seed. Green oats and peas are eaten with a relish by horses, cattle, sheep and swine. * C. S. Plumb, Director. A little ill, then a little pill. The ill is gone the pill has won.
