This as a scientific fact is com mented on by students of econom ics , in connection with the action of the House ol Representatives on the railroad rate bill. Recent years have not furnished such a momentous question affecting the commercial interests of all classes from the farmers to the manu facturers , from the merchant to the executor of estates , and yet the House of Representatives passed the Hepburn bill with whirlwind impetuosity. Even the proverbially excited Frenchman could demand no action so precipitate as was that of the direct representatives of the entire country. The more conservative Germans would be aghast at the offhand decision rendered on a question of such import. In Latin countries , where the average of motives governing' legislation i s most affected by passion and preju dices , the action of the house would not be remarkable. It is from these Latin countries that the largest percent of immigrants has come in recent years. The student of political spirit in the United States. No matter what one's views may be on the railroad rate ques tion there is a sense of security which is welcome in the fact that the United States Senate in fact and by tradition actually deliber ates and considers before deciding questions affecting industrial prosperity to Such a degree as the railroad rate bill does. With the radical spirit there comes the outspoken impatience which will brook no delay in its demands. A patriotic American cannot view the influx of immigrants without misgiving as to the re sults , when the results become so tangible in an increased impa tience and increased radicalism. Already the investigation of the Senate commission has done great deal to lay bare mistakes in the Esch-Townsend bill whicl was proposed last spring am' passed by the house. PRESS NOTES.

There is a wide and increasing interest over almost our entire territory on the subject of alfalfa growing , and particularly as to whether it should be sowed in the spring or fall. East of the Miasouri river the best results have been secured for the last two or three years by sowing in the fall on land that has been in early oats or in pota toes or any kind of grain that can be taken off in July , and the ground thoroughly prepared by repeated diskings and harrowing , so as to secure sufficient moisture to germinate alfalfa if sown any time in August , or in Iowa and south by the first week in Sep tember. West of the river and perhaps on the western edge of Iowa , where there is more danger of drouthy conditions in the fall , farmers prefer sowing it in the the spring and then clipping it back three or four times during the summer in order to keep down the weeds. There are many advantages in favor of fall sowing , and the only disadvantage which we know of is the liability of drouth during August and the early part of September. One of the ad vantages in fall sowing is that the previous careful preparation of the land germinates and kills all the foul weeds and gives the alfalfa , which is a tender and delicate plant at the start , the full use of the land. Where there is an assurance of moisture we would not sow in any other way. In Nebraska and Kansas the fall conditions are frequently such as to prevent germination , and in this case the spring sowing is greatly to l > e preferred except where irrigation can be practiced. Alfalfa cannot germinate without moisture. It can be sown any time when moisture is available from the last of April until the first of September , and the later it is sown the less trouble there is with the weeds. Fall sown al falfa does not need to be clipped. Spring sown alfalfa , if given ful use of the land , must be clippec in order to keep from beiiif , smothered out of existence b\ weeds. Keeping these facts clearly ii mind , our readers can judge for themselves as to the best meth ods to be adopted. For two years we have sown alfalfa in the fal with great success. The Iowa experiment station has adoptee fall sowing , and many fanners have adopted the same methoc with success. Even east of the Missouri , however , there may be in some years drouth condition that will render fall sowing im practicable ; but under Iowa am Illinois conditions we prefer tak ing the chances. Land that ha been thoroughly cultivated for : month or six weeks previous to sowing will , except in very rare years , have sufficient moisture , to germinate t h e seed. Wallace Fanner. WOMAN A PUBLIC OFFICIAL , Pessimist When Talking of Alabama Must Speak in Soft Tones Fe male Secretary There. The pessimist who protests against woman's progression , not to mention digression , in new lines of work must admit there is recognition of her ability abroad in the land when u woman is chosen as recording secretary of one of the southern states , says the Pilgrim. When the man who held that position with Gov. Cun- _ ninghnin , of Alabama , resigned recently , Miss Mamie OlYutt , who. was confidential stenographer to the governor , was appointed in his place. It was a great compliment , for the ofllce demands the exercise of much tact and diplomacy. By irtiie of her position Miss Offutt H also secretary of the state board ) f pardons , and keeps a record of 'verything in connection with the hoiisaml and one applications for lardon from inmates of Alabama mines and prisons. She must have i familiarity with the statutes of he state which relate to the of- lee of governor , since questions > earing upon state laws and stul- ites are consequently coming in , ind many novel points raised. She must also indorse the action of the governor upon suchapplica- .ions , as well as conduct much of he correspondence of the execu- ive department. Graciousness ind gentlewomanly qualities are 10 less characteristic of Miss Of futt than the knowledge ofherdu .ies or the efficiency with which : hose duties are performed , and her appointment to such respon- sibilites is not only a tribute to r exceptional ability , but inci- Mentally recognizes the fact that there are women who can keep a secret. MOBS ATTACK MONUMENTS When Riot in Kussia Breaks Loose Big Shafts Are Made the First Object of Attack. That the disturbances in Kussia are not marked by the overthrow of memorials is due to the care exercised by ( he police in guard ing the column of Alexander I. and other historic monuments. The police have learned through experience that these public me morials are the first objects of a mob's attack , and they profited by the happenings in other lands. When the Commune gained con trol in Paris its first action was the overthrow of the Vendoinc columns , while even the historic Nelson column , in London , has * been mined , though in that in stance the detonator failed to ex pi ode. The statue of William III. in Dublin has withstood many an attack , the recurrent anniver saries of the battle of the Boync stirring hatred afresh. The old statue is battered and time worn , but no serious harm has yet been done. America has few memorials to attract or invite mob violence. Possibly the Haymarket memo rial , iu Chicago , may some day be blown up by those who regard the anarchists executed for the crinv : as martyrs , but the only recent at tempt to blow up a statue was the unsuccessful effort to destroy tin1 monument to Frederick the Great at Washington. European memorials incur the dislike of the lawless because of their associations rather than be cause of their lack of artistic value. Were the latter defect an incentive to crime the park police would be kept busy here. Ancient Crinoline. In the World of Fashion of 18S ( le a reference to "the new stuff called crinoline. " Crinoline was partly thread , partly horse-hair Its name being compounded o ; the French "crin , " horsehair , ant "lin , " flax. Hats , skirts and al sorts of things that were wantet to possess a certain stiffness were made of this material. Ostrich Tax. The exportation of ostriches from South Africa has practically been prohibited by an export tax of ? 4S7 each , intended to preserve to that country , as far as possible , ! the monopoly of the lucrative ! trade of ostrich fanning.
