The Gathei-lnjc of the Claa.
Linco'n has cot for two years en
joyed bo much genuine political ex
c:ttment as siie has during tho past
twoweeka. Though the excitement
has perhaps not bocn so intense as it
was two years ago, it has been of a
mere exuberant and pleasurable char
acter. Two years ago tho great "con
test" weighed down the spirits of the
members of all parties. Now there is
nothing of the kind. It is true there
has been a great deal of uncertainty in
the situation, but there is this year an
unusually largo number of able and ex
perienced men among the members
elected by all parties, and especially
the independent party. And they have
proceeded to the preliminary work with
cool determination. It is a remarka
ble fact that, although the independj
ents are a minority party in lhte"J&
lature, they have disy'jyed mor.jon-
fidence and detpf VJJ to JUfcceed

the soiL'V Thgardea 1 should ' be
ided in 'two equal parts making
main walk In the center. The
ain walk should be 3 feet wide and
inches deep, throwing the top soil
on either side - as - before mentioned.
I never use a team in doing the work.
It should be done" with the spade,
rake and hoe, and in cultivating, jthe-hand-plow,
rake and hoe are sufficient.
,My experience with manures has
proven they should be thoroughly
rtotted' 'and applied in the 'fall7and
well mixed with the soil. I have
never used anything superior : toj well
rotted barn yard manure for potatoes
and cabbage, but hen house manure
mixed with lime or ashes is far pref
erable for onions, peas, beans,m"elons
cucumbers, . etc. Many gaiMeners
scatter fhe manure promisfuouslv
over the ground. My experience
teaches me the better and jbheapei
plan to apply it to the, ilds only
whei it will do the most goad. After
evei beating rain as soon a the beds
sl-c firy enough they should be gona
Tx'vf with the hoe or rake yhich will
'ceil) them mellow and sop. Vege
'tsfilcs will never mature thoroughly
san-baked grouna. lliy proper
imagement two crops may be se
.irod in ordinary seasons, such as
xs, beans, radishes, l'fjttuco, cab-
etc. After . tho first crop
ha.i been used in the
family or marketed, by ,working the
beds over the second tipio, with the
addition of more well rptted manure
thoroughly mixed with jtha soil they
may bo planted with any of the above
named vegetables and a second crop
secured, especially turiip3. The best
raetli6d is to sow them between the
first and the fifteenth! of July. Sow

ers came in on Saturday, Sunday, and
Monday. Among them may be men
tioned, John H. Powers, Judges Bush,
Bea! and Holcomb, Logan McReynolds,
J. M. Gunnett Paul Vanderyoort,
Richard Trevellick, Congressmen Kun
and Mc Keighan.
The disposition of the members to
realized that they were not in it. John
son was unanimously elected.
"I move," said Casper, of Butler, that
the chair appoint a committeo of five
on credentials. It was carried. Cas
per, Gerdes, Barry, Soderman and Wat
eon were appointed as such committee.
The house then took a recess until 3 p.
m.
The sympathies of the assembled
crowd were with the Independents was

of the reform movement has been one
of the most commendable and promis
ing leatures oi the situation, it is a
wonderful safeguard against rash,
and ill-considered ac ions. If there
had b?en more of this two years ago
the results might have been very dif
ferent. .,,
During Saturday, Sunday and Mon
day, many rumors were afloat that the
republicans had bribed the independ
ents to help them rganize. There is
not a particle of dount that efforts were
made to bribe members. A party hus
sunk very low indued when its only
hope of success lies in corrupting the
membeis of another party. But all
their efforts were in vain. . In fact, so
great was t e conn ence and enthusi
asm of the independents that they paid
but little a'tei.t'on o these rumors.
The number of applicants for posi
tions is by no means small Almost
every employe of the last legislature is
on hands, and pe fectly willing to sac
rifice himself on the altar of his par y
for another term at $3 per day. There
is also quite a large contingent of new
applicants and the legislature will have
no trouble in finding good material to
fill all positions.
THE HOUSE ORGANIZED. .
It was exa tly at high noon that Sec-
greeted the speeches and hard hits of
Porter and Casper.
The applause from the republican
side when Watson tried to reply was
very weak and scattering.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
It was nearly half past three when
temporary speaker Sheridan rapped for
order, a d aru-r a quorum bad beea de
clared pr sent, railed for tbe report of
the committee on credentials.
It was read by Casper. It left the
roll just as that prepared bv the sec'y
of state except that it favored the seat
ing of JasG. Kruse. of Knox county.
W atson made a minority report favor
inir the (.eating of Norton. A running
deb 'te followed between Watson an i
Casper, wheu Church Howe took the
floor for he first lime. Church evi
dently expeteu to c ate a sensation
t he sensation was created but it was
not by Cmrch. He had no sooner
takou nl seat than P Tter f Merrick,
took the floor, and the way he used
Church Howe up was the deliitht of the
immense body of spec a ors, of all par
ties alike. Howe tried to question liim
but he was no match fo th- young
political leader. Porter beat him at
every turn, and finally Howe sat down
in deitpair, utterly whipped. It was the
most distinct victory that those now
living had ever sen gained overChurch
Howe.
Casper moved the p-evioui question
and the vote came. Kruse was Beated
by a vote of 52 to 43 and the audience
went wild with en husiasm. '

Chaplain I'rottsman and the call of

swearing in the new members.
When the time for swearing in the
new members came Temporary Chair
man Davidson ruled that the members
whose seats were contested could not
be sworn in. Tho Republicans at
tacked the ruling, but on an appeal to
the house the speaker was sustained.

In nearly all cases newly set trees
or plants should be allowed to grow
the first year without check.
One advantage in having plenty of
wide shoots, is the shading of the
trunk of the tree and thus preventing
sun scald. - - ,
When there i: no defect in the tree
itself, failure to grow is generally due
to the lack of sufficient moisture in
the soil.
By mulching after the ground s

One of the most serious objections
to using fresh manure in the garden
is that in nearly all cases it contains

''Sometimes," said a busy man
v?hose cares weigh heavily upon him,
"I think that I would like to be a
drum major. Now, there's a man who
goes about his business in a strictly
business way, as. indeed, every man
must do who ' would succeed, bit yet
who seems to be wholly oblivious of
the ordinary cares of life. He looks
solemn, but his heart is light, I know;
and it seems to me at times as though
it would be a positive relief if I could
drop my books and accounts, put on a
bearskin hat, a clawhammer coat, and
trousers with gold stripes, and march
up Broadway at the head of a brass
band.

Tenderly kiss the pale, wan cheeks;
brush back the damp, .clinging, auburn

a fond mother's lips have kissed since
infancy. Speak the last sad, parting
words, the words which make us lin
ger on their echoes. Say good bye for
aye; press the cold hand and watch
his slow retreating form, which fades
away forever. He is going to play his
first foot-ball mateh!
Urging a Canal Syatem. For Europe.
The president of the Vienna corn
exchange, in a recent speech, 6ald
that grain growing in Europe has
ceased to be remunerative, owing to
the development of new agricultural
regions and to the lowering of railroad
rates. The only chance he could see
for the European farmer was in the
construction of a network of canals in
central Europe. Cheap water trans
portation would help the European
farmer against the competition of the
United States, India and Australia.
