lowa follows the example of Ohio and Indiana in amending their election law to make fusion impossible. Gov. Bushnell authorizes the announcement that he will appoint Hanna to the chair made vacant by Senator Sherman's retirement. At the recent meeting in | Washington of the National ; Farmer’s Alliance editor C. Vin i cent of Indianapolis, was made j vice president. Jesse R. Grant, yougestson of the great general, is to be the; Populist candidate for mayor ol San Diego. California, at the coming election. The new arrival in ex-presi dent Harrison’s household wil be made almost, as welcome as if it were a son, which is said to have been the fond desire of Russell Harrison’s lather, A. Rozelle, chairman of the state populist committee in Missouri and secretary of the National Reform Press Association, has received the appoint merit of Labor Commissioner at hands of Governor Stone.

M. C. Rankin, treasurer of the Populist National Committee, and the oldest member in continuous service on the committee, in a published-interview standout squarely upon the origina greenback principle, with silver as a secondary consideration. Widespread interest prevails in the Mother's Congress lately held in Washington, and the announcement comes most welcome that the entire proceedings with papers and addresses in full are soon to be published. Every progressive mother or mother prospective will desire lit at volume. The senatorial deadlock in South Dakota came to a close "Wednesday night, by the repub licans furnishing sufficient voteto re-elect Kyle, populist. It was the work of the leading republican aspirant, Pickier, who lined up his forces in Mr. Kyle’s interest. Speculation is rife as to its meaning, and bitter dis satisfaction is reparted in populist circles. The sugar beet is occupying a large amount of attention just at this time, and it, will no doubt come to the front as one of the money crops in a iarge portion of our country in the near fut ure. At the recent meeting of the Wisconsin Horticultural Society, Prof. F. W. Taylor of Nebraska, said that forty per cent of the sugar used in this country i made from- beets. In Russia about $3.75 per ton is paid for beets. This is the best paying crop that can be raised in tbe czar’s domain. Nebraska last year produced 10,000,000 pounds of beet sugar, 20 per cent of the total amount consumed in tin state. The average productiop of land planted with beets was 18 tofis per atire, which brought §5 per ton at the factory.

An Agreeable Variation.

In the forth-coming change of administration the country manifests a feeling of peaceful 1 acquiescence. So positive were i the pledges for a return of pros- | perity there is manifest in no quarter a disposition to impede such progress as shall be outlined by those in charge of the precious cargo. j In building his cabinet Mr. i McKinley has made a radical : departure from the policy of his predecessor. He exhibits a pur-

pose to have about him a household of advisors and counsellors, not mere figureheads, or clerks, which has made Mr. Cleveland's administration a stencil to the party electing him and a hum 'i ation to his countrymen at large. From an offensive egotistic se;i wanderer the country heaves a sigh of relief for a change Ur policy to that extent at ieUst. even if in it they see no benefits for the nation at large. /Ks citi zens of the greay c&tmnonwea’ih the popular pi Lae will enjoy one iittte thrill of/agreeable sensa tion. It has been notorious in the Cleveland regime that nom of his underlings were entrusted with appointments in their respective domains. It was tin > humiliation that sent Gresham to an untimely grave, that drove ilisseil back to his law practice and unquestionably influenced Joke Smith's later retirement. No man who was unwilling to be art abject panderer at the shrine of this impecunious and go • monarch could enjoy latitudes retention of place beneath him The change is not marked w general confidence in the dm ■

-ion of the executive, so m-c •• as a.belief that his cabinet.;,- -<> ciates, at limes when the exe.cu tive will not be abie ti> tiw - for himself which will ab ail the time can assist i.uu i>; dignified discharge oi 0.. y, which the Cabinet as'a who. - ’ . « not the president aioue v. -hare the responsioiiity.

Nothing better could v<* sired by the populist- ami forces than an i mined hoe -. an extra session, If M M-: •. has a restorative no ino lime will be lost in 1 opportunity for its speedy plication,, however radical.

Municipal Ownership a Fact. Not Theory,

Manchester, Eng'end. has used its own gas plan- "or mat,.' years, and the money derived , a charge of 60 cents a thousand cubic feet is sufficient to pay all expenses and give the city treasury sdUO,OOO annually for other public expenses. J ■ owns ■; s own street railways and rents them to private companies at a good round profit, the fare being equivalent to 1 cent a mile, and fiie company standing the cost of all repairs. Under muidclpal control of its gas systern vJiasgow has reduced the cost o' gas from $1.14 to 60 corns, and car fares there have been reduced, one-third, the town finding ample compensation in the increase of ; passenger traffic.

Radical Action Expected from Kansas.

In Kansas the populists have supreme control in all branches of the state government, and the country has a right to expect something more radical than the mere passage of resolutions. They may pass a genera act reducing salaries, but that aioue will stamp them with brand of incompetence unless action more far reaching is placed upon the statute books.

Dispatches announce that what is known as the Campbell measure is being seriously entertained with strong probability for its passage. This measure authorizes the issuance by me state of circulating warrants n. denominations of 'I. si!, yd at, . -Tm The same to draw 1 pei j cent interest XorAen years, after which time interest shall cease upon a outstanding unredeemed warrants. The volume of such ‘fssu'e shall not exceed 1 percent of tile assessed valuation of the state; the .•name to be distributed to the counties and constitute a fuiiclTom opening a system of public improvements to which idle labor can go for employment and a tine of guO to daUH imposed upon whoever discounts the face value. .This would at on,ce stimulate enterprise and start lire wheels lo moving throughout the sidle. It would not come under the provision of the state bank restrictions, but it win strike a blow at the v-itais of the scalping fraternity and renevc the pressure upon all titles oi leg-Lunate business. If the Kan ; sas populists at their present SC-s- :;| do uo.t; time some SUCH | ran. . action they cannot be | held as a beacon i.ghi to othei ■ • .ties who are following in the onward march anil si taking offthe v;t:;' oousm of old par! v rule.

progressive movement such as j to-day holds power in Kansas. ‘Unless something of this character marks the present session of the legislature in that state, advocates of ‘reform within the party aia Pinagree and Tillman, will make hard sledding for reform proseiyters in the years to come. Some are clamoring for the direct legislation measure in that state, but that will require lb j republican votes which makes its passage an impossibility. Hence let the pressure from outside awaken tbe Kansas legislature to cease its irtffiug with temporary make shifts, but to .strike out boldly on entirely new , ones; inaugurate tue new dis i

pensation by breaking away irons traditional barriers and environments, and set into active operation a system of widening opportunities on "a grander scale, regardless of tiic patchwork nonsense which oid fogy leaders contemplate upon their systemnow decrepit with age and impotency. Reduction of salaries is all right so long as the dollars and their purchasing power are controlled by forces higher than Hie stale, bn; the stale clearly has tne right to own and operate I some public affairs, upon its own resources, at least it can .force the issue to a higher tribunal to : deny it if they choose, as in the Bred IScott; decision of slavery times. The reform sentiment? ■ hr all parties throughout the nation is looking with expectant hopefulness to Kansas for the inauguration of reforms that in •act are reforms, and times are ripe to give radical measures a trial. Let there be no disappointment. The State of Nebraska is once more in hard luck as the result, of entrusting her state exchequer into republican hands. With a former custodian of her funds doing time in State's prison for a half million defalcation; now ••omes another shortage of £s;?}’. • 702 in accounts ot the retiring official.

institutions all over the country. There are often, and generally i too, very excellent reasons why state as well as county treasurers desire continuation in office. ! Populists throughout every state stood loyally by Tom Watson during the trying events of the past campaign, and through it ail hoped that no hot headed demonstration would eventuate. Such hopes have been dispelled since it has become known that upon the election of Pritchard, a gold bug republican from North Carolina to the senate, Mr. Watson telegraphed his congratulations. Senator Butler’s paper, the “Ckncasian,” denounces Harry Skinner, who led the fight for Pritchard, of North Carolina, for the senate. Pritchard is an avowed goidbug and the fact seventeen Populists voted for trim has caused national comment. Tom Watson wired congratulations. The People’s party caucus issued an address condemning the course of the Populists who voted for Pritchard.

Making Young Trees Bear.

If, is the natural desire of every orchardist to get his trees into bearing condition as soon as possible. Few know how to do this. The common method of giving the trees a great amount of manure postpones rather than hastens fruit bearing. Most young orchards are too rich to oear well, and this is especially true so long as soil fertility is at once available by cultivation. This excess of fertility promotes leaf aud wood growth. Only when it is cheeked will trees begin to put forth fruit buds and bear fruit, and the tree will grow more vigorously than ever and not bear any fruit. Only when the bearing, habit is fully established is it safe to manure freely, and even then mineral iertiliiers should have the preference. For very vigorous young trees old enough to begin to bear, but which will not, severe root pruning so as to lessen the supply of sap may be sometimes resorted to with .profit.—American Cultivator.
