STATE BANK MONEY.

The Democratic platform favors the repeal of the ten per cent, tax on State batik notee, and it is said that the antisilver Democrats are willing to make this conoeesion to the South and the Farmers' Alliance element. In view of such a prospect read what the Review of Jit-views, a perfectly non-partisan and independent magazine sayB:

To repeal the ten per oent. tax upon State bank notee would mean that Kansas, Maine, California, North Dakota, Ohio, and all the other Stated would be in position lo authorize local banking institutions to flood the country with paper money which coald have no certainty of uniform safety and value. A Zimri Dwiggins might establish a chain of local banks on unsound principles and issue paper'money which, mingled with the general volume of the country's currency, would be worthless in the hands of the last holder on the failure of the banks. It is now asserted in some quarters that Congress will refuse to repeal the harmful silver purchase act unless that repeal be accompanied by the resurrection of the still more perniciou) system of "wild cat" money that was buried thirty years ago. Whatever may or may not be doae with our currency laws, every business man, every farmer, every professional man who receives a salary, and every man or woman who earns wages or has a fixed money inoorne, shonld insist absolutely upon a national, uniform currency, with the United States government at the back of every dollar in circulation.

CLEVELAND THE FUGLEMAN: A

year ago the entiie Democratic party in the South and West were for free coinage of silver. Now, every Democratic organ in both these sections is yelping with all its might against free coinage. Cleveland is fugleman, and whatever be does they all do whatever he says they all say.

I WHEAT will be very cheap this harvest, but it will not be near so cheap as some of those chaps will feel who voted for Grover Cleveland and free trade, to raise the price of that precious article. It is a curious coincidence that when the Democratic party went out of power in 1860, wheat was 50 cents per bushel and that now, upon the restoration of that party to power in 1H93, wheat is again 50cents per bushel. There seems to be some myeterious connection between Democracy and 50cents wheat.

IT is very cheerful to reflect that ten times as many people have been killed celebrating the Fourth of July than were killed on both sides during the Revolutionary war. Still gun powder BI a fool killer has fallen far short in its duly.

CRISP is the smallest Democrat who has been in the Speakership in forty years, yet the Democracy in the House has fallen to such a low estate in ability that he will be re-elected without a contest.

THE export trade of Baltimore, particularly in wheat, is rapidly increasing, and the importance of the city is also steadily growing in other respects, in eluding that of political intelligence.

SOME wiseacre has struck upon an easy way to make a fortune. He says buy '.hennometers in December, when they are down, and sell them in July wutn they are sure to go np.

loan rates of 70 or 75 per cent.,

which were reached 1E:1 week in New York, are not likely to be seen again this week. At any rate the squeeze is over for the time being.

CI.KVEAND and Crisp are undoubtedly in favor of the adoption of the Heed rules in the House of Representatives to intizzlo the free silver element of their party.

Gov. ALTGELD continues to be the beat denounced man who has ever held a public oilice in this country.

THE Iwet thing to be said of the Pop ulislB is that they are not saying anything nbout themselves.

THE Democratic ship is like the Vio toria in the Benee that its Btearing-gear is sadly defective.

THE quotation on Democratic chances in the Ohio election is e?en lower than that on silver.

RABBIT ROOD-ITS.

How the California Vineyardists Deal with the Posts.

4Q Annual Gathering at Which ThouMiidi of Jack Rabbits Are Cor* rolled and Exterminated.

"The people out iu Fresno county, Cal., tiro getting tvsuiy for their annual round-up and slaughter of jack rabbits,'' said a leading vineyardist of Fresno to a New York Sun man recently. "If it wasn't for this early spring- systematic raid upon these destructive pests we would have scarcely a vineyard or an orchard left in southern California. On one day In March, generally between the 10th and 15th, tho grape and small-fruit growers collect together in their respective districts and beat tho country thoroughly to drive the swarming jack rabbits from their hiding places into immense wire Inclosed corrals, where they are at tho mercy of their pursuers, and are knocked In the head with clubs by tho thousand. I have known fifteen thousand jack rabbits to be slaughtered in this way in a few hours. More than that, these rabbits are such prolific breeders that every one killed in March or April means that there will be twen-ty-five or thirty less than there would have been if ihe rabbits knocked In the head in the spring had been permitted to live until the fall. These round-ups are the only means we have ever discovered by which the jack rabbit pest has been kept down. "The rabbits are unusually fond of the young shoots of the grapevinos, when they make their appearance in the spring, and of the tender bark of prune, plum and other fruit trees, when the sap starts. I have known twenty acres of vineyard ruined in a single night by the chopping of the shoots by these animals, and whole orchards of valuable bearing trees killed by the rabbits girding them. Poison, traps and guns failed to kill ofl the rabbits fast enough, and fruit growing in that part of California could necessarily have been to a great extent abandoned If a Fresno county genius hadn't evolved tho corralling idea five years ago. The rabbits are driven into the great wire-inclosed pound by hundreds of people—men, women and children— closing in around them and preventing them from going in any other direction, except tho ono that leads them into the corral. Different districts have different days for setting out on the round-up, and the slaughter goes on through March and April. It is safe to say that ono hundred thousand jack rabbits are' thus killed every spring in that part of tho state. As at that season of the year this big rabbit's flesh is in excellent condition and the animal is highly esteemed as food a two-fold benefit is derived from this great yearly slaughter. "The California jack rabbit is the biggest rabbit in existence, one five feet long being not uncommon. They are as fleet as the wind, but will sit still on their forms, or by the roadside, until you have almost grabbed tohem by their mule-like ears, but before you have closed your fingers on them there will be no rabbit there, but if you look thir ty or forty yards ahead you will see what you think is another one humped up in a fluffy bunch, waiting for you in the same way. Hut it won't be another rabbit. It will be the same one. They are swift and sudden as the fleas that swarm on them as soon as the summer comes. These fleas get so thick upon the jack rabbit and are BO ravenous that they have actually reduced the longeared, four-footed jumper to a skeleton by the time the fall rains set in. If it wasn't for these regular fall rains the fleas would be of great service to us in destroying the rabbit pest, for the rabbits could not stand out many days longer against tho assaults of the lively parasites. But the fall rains are fatal to the fleas. The water kills them and washes them off the rabbits and the latter pitch in our vineyards and orchards and grain with sharpened appetites."

THE PAPERING OF WALLS.

An Ancient Chinese Method of Decorating nouses. Wall papers were little used in Europe before the eighteenth century, though they had been long before that applied to house decoration by the Chinese. Those that were first manufactured in the west were adaptations of design from Italian brocades, and at first they were used in an unobjectionable manner, just as hangings of the costlier material were employed, namely: To fill spaces between obvious structural lines and, so applied, no objection could be made to their use. On tho contrary, the invention brought it within the means of almost every householder to fill blank wall spaces with agreeable tracery and harmonious color.

The cornice, frieze and dado remained Intact coigns were protected with molding or planter work, and the Inmate might feel that he was living in a built room and not in a bandbox. Hut gradually the wall features disappeared paper crept over everything except window and door openings, even into the very angles of the walls, and it is nothing uncommon now on entering a saloon of considerable pretension anil proportions to find the walls closely covered with paper from floor to ceiling, save a narrow skirting board to protect the plaster from the housemaid's broom and a cornice reduced to a meager molding.

Worried the Siwaker.

It is tho petti' vexations of life that perplex and annoy Secretary Carlisle, iiig things disturb him but little. While he was speaker it became necessary for him to appoint two elevator boys, and tho worry entailed on him in his endeavor to select the fittest two out of fifty applicants upset him more than any other event of his whole term of office. "I wish that elevator would sink," he said one day, after running the gauntlet of a dozen beseeching mothers. "I never could understand tho need of an elevator In the house, anyway."

Mail or Woman, Ghost or Human, We cannot say what will cure ghosts, but many men and many women who look like ghosts rather than human beings, through sickness would regain health and happiness, if they 'vould try the virtue of tho world-renowned remedy, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. Torpid liver or "biliousness," impure blood, skin eruptions, scrofulous sores and uwellings, consumption (which is scrofula of the lungs), all yield to this medicine. It is both tonic and strength restoring, and alternative or blood-cleati Bing.

Thrashed a Man Twice His Size. The other day a small, harmless looking man entered a New York street car and accidently trod on the toes of a big sixfooter. He apologized, but the six-footer was't satisfied. He talked for some time and finally invited the little man to loave the car and settle the matter on the sidewalk. Greatly to his astonishment the latter accepted. Those who witnessed tho contest say that it didn't last long, but that the big fellow had to be carried homo in an ambulance, while his diminutive antagonist walked a-.vay with a cheerful smile. And so it is with Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They're not half BO big as most of their rivals, but they do their work quietly and thoroughly. For sickheadache, biliousness, constipation, dyspepsia, etc., thoro is nothing like them. They are the only liver pills absolutely sold on trial. Your money back, if they don't give satisfaction.
