THE APPORTIONMENT CASE. Should tbe Supreme court overthrow the apportionment act of 1883s it is altogether probable that Indiana will elect her next legislature under an apportionment made by proclamation of the governor, says' the Indianapolis Journal. At least such is | the conviction gained after half au hour’s 1 ; talk with Governor Matthews upon thisj I subject yesterday. “I hud hoped,” said the I Governor, “that the Supreme court wotild I not interfere iu this matter. 2 believe that | the election under present conditions should be held under the law of 1885 J&d that the l right of the holdover senators to their seats i should not be questioned. As you are aware, there was great pressure after the preI vious derision of the court to have nie take i a different position from the one I took. A | great many men of my own party, and | good nueu, too. insisted that I should take I the position that there was no legislation in existence. While I atu a party man, and I would unquestionable favor my party : where 1 could without interfering with j what 1 can see to lie my official duty, yet I j told them the situation as I viewed it and * gave my position in an authorized interview j J before the meeting of the democratic com* : rnittee, in'order that they might follow that ! idea or any other they saw fit. “What I shall do in case the court overthrows the act of 1885, which is now admit* j ted to be the ouly apportionment ac t: on the j statutes, I bare uot yet been able to deterj mine to my own satisfaction/ There is undoubtedly a question and it is a matter j of <^>ubt to ray mind as to whether or not,! under the decision in the Snllivan county i case, there is any legislature in existence. ! Now this committee that called upon me stated that they had in their possession pledges from a majority of both houses that they would pass a fair and constitutional apportionment act and nothing else if caff- | ed together. They did not present those j pledges to me and it seems to me if I were j a legislator I would heaitate a long time before I would sign a pledge to another co-or-, j dinate branch of the government. 1 would 1 I do my duty as required by my oath of | office, after having once had the opportunity : to do that duty. However, I take it for granted that they had those pledges. Yet, if the legislature wen convened and should an apportionment lew its const itution* j ality could not be tested before the election 1 for want of time. And inasmuch as theJ | next legislature must make a new appor- j tionment under the constitution, it would j be a very natural thing for them to pass I some such acts as that of 1895. *Now the precedent has been set,” continued the governor, referring back to an ^earlier portion of the conversation, “and it is possible that au apportionment would * hare to be made by proclamation. There would of course be all sorts of conflicting ! opinions and advice as to my duty in the matter and I cannot as yet say what I would do.” * But will an apportionment by proclama* ./i.-v

tion stand the test of the courts?” was j asked. “No one could say until it were tested,! and it would probably be tested if the case j would be gotten in shape for the Supreme j Court iu time.” This precedent spoken of was the action ! of Governor Wright back in the fifties, when he made an apportionment of his own and promulgated it in a proclamation and the next legislature was elected under it. In case the governor should do nothing at all, neither call the legislature or issue a proclamation, the legislature would have to be elected by the state at large. Two Lives Saved. Mrs. Phoebe Thomas. of Junction City, 111., was told by her doctors she had con* sumption and that there was no hope tor her, but two uottles of Dr. King's New Discovery completely cured her and saved j her life. Mr. 'fhos. Eggers, 139 Florida St. San Francisco, suffered from a dreadful cold, approaching consumption, tried without result everythiug else then bought one bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery aud in two weeks was cured. He is naturally thankful. It is such results, of which these are samples, that prove the wonderful efficacy of this medicine in coughs and colds. Free trial bottles at J. R.

The Indiana Experiment Station has this spring received numerous letters inquiring about artichokes especially bearing on their value as a food for swine. For many years artichokes have been grown in a limited way in the United States, more especially as a food for pigs in.! pasture. The analysis is given by the Kansas Experiment Station: Water... 81 50 DEY MATTER. Ash. 5 28 Protein... 12 08 Fibre..... 3 43 Nitrogen, free extract. 78 50 Fat......*.. 70 i 100 001 This analysis shows artichokes to contain a fairly large amount of nutriment, being; superior to potatoes, turnips, rutabagas, ’ squashes and pumpkins. Artichokes are grown much the same as . potatoes. From four to six bushels of seed per acre are recommended by different: growers. The tubers may be cut small, like potatoes, and planted 15 to 18 inches apart in rows 3f feet apart. Planting maybe done in the spring, till June 1, and also during the latter part of the fall, before freezing. The ground should be well tilled j and weeds destroyed. The roots spread widely, and at the end of the season, unless cultivation has been vigorous, cover the ground. * Freezing docs not iujure the tubers, so they will live through the winter and be sweet and palatable m the spring. Several varieties are advertised. The j

Jerusalem is ail old add well known variety. The Red Brasilian and Mam. noth White French are alsb popular. The Red Brazilian has been grown somewhat in America for over a score of years, and it is <. laimed that its roots do not spread so badl r as do the Jerusalem. The price of roots varies widely. From circulars in my possession, quotations range from 75 cen:s to $8.00 per bushel, the Jerusalem bein' the cheap* est. One Indiana fanner advertises six bushels for $3.00 The artichoke is very produc :ire. and it is freely claimed by growers that 1,000 bushels per acre may be grown " There is some diversity of r pinion concerning the desirability of g,owing this plant on the farm. Some regturd it as a nuisance, owing to the difficulty of controlling its growth, while other * think it a valuable food for pigs. Mr. L. N. Bonham formerly secretary of the Ohio state board of agriculture, states in a reee it Breeders’ Gazette that he spent five years in eradicating it from his farm. Then1 are others also who do not endorse this plant. There are numerous pig misers however who find artichokes a profitable food for their stock. Coburn in his **8wine llusbai dry” quotes the favorable experience of a number of swine breeders in growing mml feeding artichokes, Simon Cox of Illinois, in u late Breeders’ Gazette, states that; last year he raised 12 acres of artichokes., and that he found them much cheaper for his pigs than brand or shorts. Unquestionably; as a sueculeut fdnd they aid in keeping the system in a healthy condition by promoting a desirable activity of the bevels. Farmers will be wise to try this crop on a small scale to begin with, ami then increase its culture if experience justifies. W hi tout doubt the pigs will relish the roots as they are very palatable, nnd a field of them makes good rooting ground for the hog. C. S. Plum », Director. 1. ft I. Excursion Hates.
