THURSDAY. APRIL 20, 1893,

JUDGING from the number of names of ex-Confederates who now assist in controlling national affairs, Grant must have made the surrender at Appomattox instead of Lee.

THE last official aot of President Harrison was to sign a bill'granting a pension to a widow. The soldier, and the widows and orphans of soldiers always found a tru? friend in Benjamin Harrison.

IT is announced from Washington that the several reciprocal trade arrangements entered into by the United States with Central and South American countries, and with Spain for Cuba and Port Rico, under the provisions of the McKinley act, are to be terminated by President Cleveland. Thus reciprocity, which has already done much toward opening new markets for the surplus American products and promised much more, is to be abolished. This will close the markets in these countries for nearly all our surplus agricultural products. The statesmanship of Harrison and Blaine is to be substituted for that of Cleveland and Gresham.

THE Pall Mall Gazette may be a little indiscreet in its utterances but it reflects what is in the minds of English manufacturers when it says:

Our woolen and worsted manufacturers, whose business relations with the Unite! States have been sadly interrupted by the much execrated MuEinley tariff, are taklnp heart of (Trace again, now that there Is hope of the duties beinjr substantially reformed. Matters have beoome more cheerful in Bradford. Leeds and the other centers since the defeat of the lij£ublicans. and, moreover, exports have actually been improving.

For every dollar's worth of woolene manufactured abroad and sold in the United States there will be that much less manufactured here. This may be cheerful to the American woolen manufacturers and their workmen but it is hard to believe.

HORIZONTAL BILL MORRISON man interview the other day in New Orleans frankly admitted that if the tariff is to be reduced to any great extent, it will be necessary to tax sugar, Here is what he sajs:

If we reduce the tariff on some articles It will he necessary to lay taxes on other articles not at present taxed In order to obtain revenue sufficient to meet the needs of the govern' ment, even in times of peace and great abund* auce. Here in Louisiana I want to make the prediction, and I should make It anywhere else, that the tariff scheme, or budget, or whatever It may be decided on by the Democratic party, or it provides sufficient revenues to meet the demands of tbe government, will result in the restoration of some tax on sugar, and, If It Is not done, that the scheme or plan of reduction or system of taxation which Is adopted will fall short of meeting the requirements of government and result In Increasing tiie nutioual debt.

If Colonel Morrison and other Democratic speakers had delivered such utterances during the campaign the result would have been different.

AXMAN MAXWELL issued a ukase that the recommendations of Congressmen for tbe appointment of fourth-class poBtmas ters would not be final, and that their influence would not be greater than that of any other citizen. Whereupon Congressman Conn, of the Elkhart district, withdrew all hie recsmmendations and intimated to the Asman that he had his permission to emigrate to a warmer climate. The Axman figuratively speaking started on his journey but the at mosphere soon became stiflingly hot and he began a hasty retreat. He sought Mr. Conn at his hotel and po litely informed him that if he would call again at the department and file his endorsement they would be acted upon at once. The revocation of this late ukase has caused considerable chuckling among the Congressmen, and they are now rejoicing over another Democratic victory.

"FAUMEBS who are wont to grumble at the low price of wheat," ssid a Texas ranchman to the New York Press the other day, "should not hold either of the great political parties responsible for it Machinery is the sole cause of their misfortune. For instance, with the improved machinery for sowing, harvesting and threshing, we can raise wheat and make a good profit on it down in the Panhandle district of Texas for fifty cents a bushel. A farm down there of 10,000 and 20,000 acres is not uncommon. The land is level and is easy to cultivate. The same conditions exist in the Northwest. In fact, the small farmers of the country who cannot afford to buy modern machinery (steam plows, etc.) will in a few years find it unprofitable to raise wheat except for their own use. There is no profit in wheat to the average farmer under $1 a bushel. The mass of the people will be benefited, even if the small farmers suffer."

FLOWER AND TREE.^

The roots of ennnas should be taken up after the tops have been kiUed by frost. The larpest cork oak tree of California is growing at Campo Seco, Calaveras county, and in ensures 7 feet 11 inches in circumference.

The Stanford vineyard at Vina, Tehama county, Cal., is the largest in the world, covering six square miles and numbering 3,500,000 vines.

If your pa.-isies are allowed to perfect seed, tliey will be sure to "die out," as the plants e-xhaust themselves. If you want flowers, you must keep the seed pods cut off.

Vanilla is an orchid, which, in the West Indies, creeps over trees and walls like ivy. A substance railed salep, somewhat resembling arrowroot or sago, is obtained from the tubers of a variety that grows in Turkey and Persia, where it is highly esteemed.

To rid your flowerpots of worms, dissolve half an ounce of corrosive sublimate in a quart of water add a tablespoonful of this to :i

gi..!on

of water, and water the

plants not oftener than once a week, taking care not to pour it ou the loaves. If there are auy worms, they will scramble to the top.

Deafness Cannot be Cured. by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion ot the car. There is only one way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an iTiflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tubo When this tubegots Inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Got the Mitten Every Time. "I can marry any girl I please,', was his exclamation, but unfortunely then he did not p'ease any and there was a plain reas on for it. He had contracted catarrh of*the worst form, and, although a wealthy, educated, attractive person every other way, he was postively repulsive to his lady' friends, a number of whom rejected his offer of marriage. A friend advised him to use Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. He took his advice, and now he is the most popular beau in town, and he really can "marry any girl he pleases," to ask. It jnade his breath pure and sweet, he has no head ache, no offensive discharges from the nose, in short, is in perfect health, and all from us ing a few bottle Sage's Catarrh Remedy.
