White House.

Senator John Sherman, in an interview the other day, discussed the ] presidential qualifications and chances of Reed, McKinley and Allison but made no mention of one B. Harrison. The Buckeye statesman has evidently not forgotten his knock out in ’88.

The Indianapolis News asks if it would he better to retire Senator PefferifJohnJ. Ingalls is to take his seat? We think not. It is to behoped that the low ani.nal shaped pate of the demagog from the sandy wastes of Kansas will never again bob about in the senate chamber upon the shoul-

farmers. It also means cheap fuel for manufacturers. Steam coal Inis never been so cheap here as now, and the results of that will he seen when the bids for the new warships and torpedo boats are opened. Our manufacturers are already entering the foreign mar-

$1 oo witness the eleven steel barges 80 under way at the Union Iron Works

for Russia and with cheaper fuel and iron they will have still better opportunities. The reduction in the duty on tin plates will increase the‘profits and widen the markets of the fruitgrowers and canners, as free grain hags will help the wheat-growers. In it few weeks the money for the crops will betricklinginto every corner of the country. Most of it will immediately flow from the farmers to the railroads and the merchants, and thence to tlie manufacturers of steel rails, rollingstock, railroad equipments of all kinds, agricultural implements, clothing and all the infinite number of tilings that people buy when thev have the means. Debts will lie paid, new houses and barns will be built, and more labor employed in every

direction.

The mere preparations for this change have already brought about such a steady and harmonious increase in wages as has not been known in this country before since the war. Wages are already up to the standard of two years ago, and there is no reason to doubt that the process will go on until they pass the highest point ever

touched.

Senator Peeper, of Kansas, has extracted about all the juice there is for him in the populist party, and now suggests the organization of a new party with a unique set of principles. What lie really wants is further opportunity of airing impracticable theories in the U. S. Senate. There are three classes that ought to lie eliminated from that body: fossils, millionaires and damphools. R. <}. Hokr, ex-Congressman from Michigan, and W. H. Harvey, of Coins Financial School fame, are holding a big pow-wow in Chicago over coin and currency questions. The disputants alternately talk three minutes at a time during three hours of each of ten days. When they have completed their war oi words the subject will be about as transparent as the Chicago river, and the friends of each will claim a victory for their champion. The Cloverdale bank closed its doors last Saturday as elsewhere noted in detail. The concern was a small affair but its failure will work a hardship upon many persons who gave it their patronage and confidence. Through the trial of the late panic the citizens of Cloverdale, prompted by generosity and local pride, stood by and aided the new bank, and it is much to be regretted that its affairs have not been so conducted as to save depositors from loss. Of course there will he a rigid investigation of the conduct of its business.

BRIEF INTERVIEWS. ( ait. .1. M. DoNNoiir:-:: ••Thu Brnxil tragedy conveys a lesson that all should heed. I had one at Home the nthe^, night myself. I was awakened from sleep by a noise as if a missile had struck the house. 1 raised up on an elbow to listen. 1 was sure my wife was in bed by my side. A moment later I thought I saw some one moving behind a screen. If my gun had have been in reach I should have fired at the object. I slipped out of bed, went b hind the screen and found my wife there. Hhe had left the bed without my knowledge, also, looking for a burglar. The occurrence made me so nervous that I slept no more that night. No person should shoot at another wllbo.ut hailing him or fully understanding the situation.”

Owing to the prevalence amt destructiveness of tlie Hessian tty this year, concerted etto'ts slxyild ne put forlli to prevent u recurrence of its ravages upon tlie next wheat crop. In order to prevent a serious attack of ‘ the tty" the following measures should be adopted: 1. Thoroughly burn all fly-infested wiieai stubble in which tiiere is not a stand of young clover or grass. 2. Prepare very early a border, one or two rods wide, around each field of wheat, and sow tlie same to wheal in August. 2. Turn lids bonier under very late, using a jointer, following with roll and harrow. an 1 ttieo sow the entire Held. By taking tills course many of the insects wliich escape the tire will be buried when tlie early-sown border is turned under, and tlie late sowing of tlie general cron will avoid tlie earlier attacks oi any remaining , ‘iiy." If tuese precautions are caiefully ami generally observed by the farmers me Hessian lly will nut seriously damage the next wheal crop. United effort is necessary to be effective. II. F.VM. SOWING OF CLOVER SEED. The intense drouth lias quite generally destroyed tlie spring seeding of grass and clover. Unless a "catch” of grass is se cured line season, tlie crop rotation will be thrown out of joiul, the supply of hay and pasture, next year, cut short, and soil fer Hilly may he lost thruugii leaving tlie ground hare. The following suggestions are made in tlie lull belief thal under average weather conditions a ‘Tull catch” o: clover and grass si ed may he secured: 1. Burn tlie stubble to destroy all rubbish that would interfere with Hie perfect prei arutiou of ttie seed bed. 2. Harrow repeatedly, with a disk or spading narrow, until the soil is thoroughly loosened to the depth of two or three i UCtleS. 3. Pulveriz-the soil very finely with a fine tooth harrow. 4 As soon as the soil becomes thor- | ouglily moistened, sow tlie clover seed, I harrow it in lightly, nod heavily roll tlie I ground. Tlie timothy or other grass seed may be sown later, say about the usual lime of sowing wheat. If Hie work is weM done at tlie proper time, a •‘catch” will lie reasonably certain. The urgent need of combatting the Hessian fly, ami the value of the clover crop as a soil renewer and forage plant, should induce the farmers to act promptly and unitedly in their efforts to repair the damage already’ sustained and prevent furtlier

loss.

Thk fool cussedness of another law of the last General Assembly is receiving attention. A statute provided that upon tlie expiration of the term of any convict*in the state penitentiaries he should be paid the sum of §20 and discharged by the warden at the state prison. A law enacted last winter, provides that tlie sheriff of tlie county where lie was convicted shall receive the prisoner whose time has expired, at the penitentiary and convey him to the jail of tlie county where convicted, and there discharge him. It, also, forbids the payment of any sum whatever to such prisoners when discharged either by the State of Indiana, or by the county where convicted. Thus a convict must now be discharged, penniless, as well as characterless, from the steps of the county jail. Often among total strangers and far from any friends he might have. Many convicts leave the State prison with the determination of ever afterward leading an honest life. W’hat better method could be devised to humiliate such, and impel them to return to crookedness and crime. The law is not only in contravention of good policy, it is, also, cruel and brutal. A DEAD LEI TER. Terre Haute Gazette. A great many towns in Indiana seem to lie having a deal of trouble over a statute enacted at the last session of the legislature called the Nicholson law. It is being enforced as a law over the state. Having no interest whatever in the enactment in question, which lias been repealed so far as applies to this place. Terre fiauteans can take an entirely disinterested view of tlte law and its operation. Yes, Terre Haute poses as a “wide open” town, but tlte fact that its municipal authorities permit open violation of tlte criminal law is not a tiling to be boasted of. Nor will it commend Terre Haute to law abiding people. The judicial cleaver, should fall perpendicularly, swerving neither to the right nor left. So long as the Nicholson law is one of our statutes it should be enforced throughout the state in Terre Haute as well as in places with better morals.
