UAMHIAGTO* LETTEK. Omr Mmtmlmr f»4« The publication of the plans to invade Cuba this week to the extent of capturing a port and landing six thousand men from the regular army, to make a junction with the Cuban army and operate against the Spaniards, a few hours after it had bean determined upon by the authorities, aroused the administration to the necessity of taking some steps to prevent the publication of intmded' war movements in advance of. the movements themselves, as there isn't the slightest doubt that such publications are cabled to Spain as soon as they appear. The result is an order that no military information shall be given out by subordinates of the department, and lest the arguseyed newspaper men might see some scrap of writing that would give them »clew to iutended movements they are to be barred out of all the offices in the war and navy departments. Every scrap of news from opr warships, whether relating to the capture of Spanish prises, the silencing of Spanish forts or the j gallant action of our Asiatic squadron, increases public confidence in the fighting qualities of our nary, and the hope that the order will soon be issued to give Sampson a chance to batter down the fortifications at Havana. Unde Sam has too many resources to allow the activity in the fighting branches of his establishment to interfere with the orderly conduct of busiuess in the far more important peaceful branches. The war will not be felt to auy marked extent in the industrial and commercial progress of the [ country, and Uucle Sam will continue to do

his part by looking after our postal system, public lauds, granting patents to inventors, etc., without neglecting the war. . It is not creditable, but it is nevertheless true that many politiians of his party are showing much more anxiety to succeed in their efforts to get Mr. McKinley to appoint their lavorites officers iu the volunteer array than they are in making efforts to help rush the war -to a speedy close. In addition to a number of appointments that will be at his disposal under the law reorganising the regular army, there are 384 officers to be appointed by him in the volunteer army—twelve major generals, 34 brigader generals and the following staff officers;21 lieutenant colonels. 100 majors. 147 captains and 08 first lieutenants. The scramble for the staff positions especially is being participated in by men who make no pretence of having any other claim or ability to fill the places than their political pull, iu the appointments so far announced Mr. McKinley has not yielded much to political influence, and he told a number of democratic Senators and Representatives that he did not intend that politics should determine a single one of these appointments, but it is greatly feared that he will not be able to stand the pressure when it comes to the staff ap(>ointments. The democrats who voted against the republican war revenue bill, which passed the House by a vote of 181 to 131—only six democrats voted for the bill—did not do so because they did not believe in providing the government with all the mouey that it will need to lick Spain, and any other European nation that attempts to meddle with the thrashing -process, but to show their disapproval, not only of the method by which this bill provides for raising money but of the method resorted to by Mr. Dingley and his republican associates of the ways and means committee in preparing the bill. The democratic members of the committee were not asked to help prepare the bill, but an attempt was made to cram it down their throats after it was prepared, although it was undemocratic all ‘he way through, because all of the taxes it imposes will fall heaviest upon the poorest of our people, and the richest and i most favored classes and corporations wifi not be made to bear their share of the burden. The democrats also believe that the authorisation of the issue of $600,000,000 iu bonds was unnecessary at this early stage of the war. and that ail of the money needed could be otherwise provided for anyway. A caucus of democratic senators was held to discuss the bill, now in the Senate committee on finance. More than three-fourths of those present indicated { their intention to t#ke the same stand the democrats did against the' bill, but in deference to those who said they intended to vote for the bill as a war measure no caucus action was taken. One of the latter was Senator Vest, who said he would vote to!

smite out roe bouu clause or the bill, but would afterwards vote for the bill whether the bond clause was struck out or not. The populist and silver republican senators will to a naan vote against the bonds, but it is expected that the whole bill, faondsind all, will pass. Senator Gorman says he retired from the chairmanship of the democratic caucus, which he held for so many years, for personal reasons and because his terra will expire next March, and be certainly ought to know better than those who are giving other reasons for the change. Senator Turpiejof Indiana, succeeded Mr. Gorman as chairman of the democratic caucus. Yellow Jaundice Cured, Suffering humanity should be supplied with every means possible for its relief.

©Mr Pel Culture to the North. <Purdue,University Agricultural Experiment Station, Newspaper Bulletin No. 91, April X.UMJ Owing to the fact that clover is frequently damaged by freezing ip winter and by drouth in summer, thaw is some inquiry for another leguminous crop which is not open to these objections.. With our present knowledge} no substitute for Indiana can be offered that is equal to the .common red or large English dome, loth of which are thoroughly acclimated and flourish throughout the state. Notwithstanding this fact, the cow pea has some points of advantage, among which are: (1.) Greater capacity to endure drouth. (2.) Ability to grow ou soils too thin US nourish clover. (3.) Ability to produce a large amount of forage or green manure in a few months of warm weather, and thus avoid the frosts of winter and early spring. Cow peas are highly esteemed for forage in many parts of the south. They are pastured, cut green and fed as a soiling crop, and also cured as hay. Where they seed well they furnish an excellent pasture for pigs, in which ease the land is left in flue condition for subsequent crops. In

this state only the earliest sorts would produce much seed, lu the richer soils the tendency would be to run to vines. Cow peas produce a very wateiy growth, and are therefore not easy to cure for hay, although they have the advantage of maturing in the dry season of the year. Both tops and roots are valuable to fertilize the soil. Cow peas have, like clovers, a very beneficial, mellowing effect on soils in which they grow, and when i turned under they quickly replenish the store of hninus and available nitrogen. It will doubtless be best to turn the crop nnder before the autumn frosts. If corn is to be grown the following spring, it will be well to sow rye soon after turning under the pea vines, to prevent, alike, washing of soil and dissipation of the nitrogen stored in the vines. Two different years, this station has plowed under good crops of cow peas that wopid not mature seed. Cow peas may be sown broadcast or in drills. The rate varies greatly. One bushel, if drilled, would doubtless be ample. The plauting should not be done till the ground becomes warm and all danger from frost is _ / The different varieties vary greatly in size, character of growth and earliness. Some varieties produce a short, stocky, bush-like growth, and these arc preferred for hay. They are also earlier than the ‘“trailing” varieties, and therefore better suited to this state, if seed is desired. Mr. Jared G. Smith iu the Year book of the department of agriculture for 1896, says: “Whip-poor-will, Black-eyed, White and Red Crowder ripen in twelve to fourteen weeks, and hence are adapted to cultivation farther north than the very late, but ranker growing, Unknown, Wonderful, Red Ripper. Black and Gourd varieties.” The ordinary force feed wheat drill may be used in sowing the seed. W. C. Latta, Agriculturist.
