Mr. John Luce informs us that his
alfalfa crop is fine at the present time,

two tons to the noro, some more and

thinks, average over two tons to tho
a ore at the two first cuttings, and tho
last crop will be porluq a ton ami a
half. Just think of this, live and u
half tons of hay from one acre of laud,
in one iummer. One ton of alfalfa, it
is estimated, has the nutriment of two
tons of timothy if fed to cattle or
sheep, but horses will not do the work

had mot and nqiortcil the bill back
with n recommendation that the
Senate amendments lie not concur
red in. In the meantime the sink
er had gotten the committee on
l!u lea together and it had ri-jKirted
a resolution for tin; immediate con
sideration of the silver bill. Now
somebody else weakened for when
the mnmentus vote was taken the
free coinage amendment was defeat
ed by n vote of 151 to L'Ml, and tho
bill was ordered to confuietice. So
then) will bo no free coinage this
your. The democrats might have
secured it by voting solidly in its
favor.
1 low enormous tho xiunoti busi
ness is, may be judged from the
fact that the fees of ono Arm of pen
sion attorneys in this city have av
eraged more than $"2)(0 a day for
several years, and it is expected
that the new disability pension bill
will double this for a year or two.
The long expected contest in the
House over the Federal election bill
is now on and will continue until
next Wednesday, when a vote is to
be taken. The bill pa thu House,
but it will have m show in the Sen
ale. If the Semite was favorably
disposed towards il, it would not
get through the House, notwith
standing the caucus decree. Any
way it will not receive the full re
ceive uie lull repuoiiean vote,
though it is not expected that any
k publicans will vote against it a
few of them will simply absent
tin iiut'lve when tho vote is taken,
without being paired.
The dangerous condition of the
government printing ullice is again
grought to the attention of Congress
by a rejMirt from the sennte commit
tee on printing, urging tho immedi
ate necessity of providing for the
erection of a Hie proof building for
tie- use of this olliee. Thu longer
this is postH!ni!, the inoie diflicult
and expensive it w ill be to obtain a
silo in the in igbborbiMKl of the pres
ent building. Should a fire occur
in the prKi nt building n wail of
honor would go up from the entire
country over the loss of life which
would be e.-rtain. Hotter spend a
little money now,
The old, old ipn -tion of falsifying
the Cungressionul Hecord is again
agitating the senate. The guilty
man this time is Hvnutor Cull, of
Florida, who takes up fourteen pa
ge in making a imrsoii'il explana
tion of charges made against him
by a citizen of Florida, not one
word of whieli was ever sxkon on
the floor of th.- K.-iuto. This sort of
thing is likely to continue until both
House and Semite do away with
the ridiculous ''leave to print" rule,
and make the Hecord what it pur
ine t (o bo a rejKtrl of the proceed
ings of congress us tluy ure, ami
not as certain nu ml era would like
them to have been.
