SEED TRADE NOTES. 

 By a vote of 153 to 58 the House of 

 Representatives decided on May 1 to 

 continue the free distribution of flower 

 and vegetable seeds. 



It was a memorable and impressive 

 scene in the House of Representatives 

 in Washington. The roll-call was fin- 

 ished and the result was announced. 

 A member jumped on his desk and 

 emitted a strident shout of triumph. 

 Instantly he was joined by a hundred 

 others, and a tumult broke forth such 

 as no other incident of this session 

 has called forth in the House. The 

 members pounded their desks, cheered, 

 stamped, clapped their hands and 

 roared their satisfaction that the 

 iniquitous seed trust had been foiled 

 again, and the suffering farmers would 

 not be cut off from their supply of 

 congressional graft seeds. As one 

 member put it, this is the only graft 

 of which everybody could have a piece. 

 It was a great day for cheap dema- 

 gogy. — Boston Herald.
