FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 29,1893.
THE VA« AXJlH.SCAKCAL. The appointment of J. J. Van Alan to the Italian mission bae beoome a nstional aoandal. The matter would not have aroused snoh •tinging criticism it Mr. Cleveland had named Mr. Van Alan simple because, at a critical moment, he had awelled the ooffera of the National Democratic oommittee. It is impossible to escape the conviction that Mr. Cleveland, either personally or by agent made an absolute contraot with Mr. Van Alan that he should be setit to Italy, provided he added 950,000 or some substantial amount to the Democratic campaign fund. That such a bargain was made is asserted by the newspaper that Mr. Cleveland himself has characterized the "leading Demoratic paper of in State," the New York M'ur.W i'liis paper, speaking of the lUlUn mission, •ays: "When it is known thus Mr. Van Alan gave a Irrje sum of money to the National Democratic oommittee in expectation of reeeiviug this appoint ment tbe Hppoiotment becomes a Bcandil." That a bargain was made was admitted by Horaoe White, editor of the New York Post, the leading mugwump journal of the country, and by Richard Watson Qilder, of the Century, admittedly one of Mr. Cleveland's most intimate friends. Mr. White has made the following statement concerning the matter:
"There Is no re.isou why 1 should conceal the maiter. Both Mr. Glider and myself agree that the appointment of Mr. Van Alan was unwise. Without regard to his fitness for the position, the fact that be had paid $."0,000 for a position ol government honor was enough to debar him. I talked with Mr. Gilder soon after the Inauguration of President Cleveland last March, and we decided to see If the amount of Mr. Van Alan's contribution to the cam palgn fund could not be raised among tbe friends of the President and repaid. We agreed that It would embarrass the President If he appointed Mr. Van Alan. Mr Glider agreed to irive $1,000 to the proposed fund, and 1 agreed to give as much more, provided that It the 130,000 contribution was returned to Mr. Van Alau he would agroe to withdraw from the race. 1 visited several men and found that the sum of *30,000 could be raised at once without publicity, provided Mr. Van Alan would withdraw his application for the appointment
It has been stated that the bargain waa made tor Mr. Van Alan by Win. O. Whitney, but the latter denies it. No •nch Infamous bargain has ever been recorded in the history of the United States.
1 WART our financial condition* and the laws relating to our current« so safe snd reassuring that those who have money will spend and In vest It In business and new enterprises.—PretUUnl Cleveland to Governor A'orthen.
Why plead for conditions that will cause people who have money to spend it, when speakicg of the currency and financial condition of tbe country, and ignore snd trample under foot other conditions equally strong to induce peo pie who have money, to spend it in bus. ineee and new enterprises? If the object of tbe President is to get thoee who have money, to spend it in new enterprises, be can accomplish his object mnch sooner if he will get off his currency horse, since it has balked with
that we were to have no tariff tinkering. 1

A goxi many parties have appeared in this "country in the 104 years of the existence' of tbe Government under the Constitution, but not one of them was ever so persistently, so destructively, so infam ously sectional as the Democratic party.

ZEBRAS IN HARNESS.
Experiments In Domeatioating Queer Little Animals.
the
They Are Thought to Be Brtltr Than Males for Certala Purposes In Afrloa—Correct!®* tfs Miataken Motion.
The prevalent notion about lit? zebra Is that It is so untamable as to be of no practical use to man. Experiments show that this is an erroneous notion. In a number of instances it has been reduced to docility in Europe, but no attempt has been made to impress it into the serviceable bondage with which we are familiar in the horse. That complete tractability for the purpose of labor is not impossible, and is, indeed, hopefulvis being' shown in the Transvaal, where a firm engaged iu the coaching business between Pretoria and Fort Tuli, in Mashonaland. have actually eight zebras in harness and four of them regularly employed in drawing acoaoh. These animals were capturned by the lasso, and in a few months four had been so trained that they, were perfectly .quiet and willing in harness, while the others are. becoming habituated to restraint and will in time be fully under control. H. .Stephens, who gives an account of the experiment in the Field, says Messrs. Seedesberg are thus far satisfied and will endeavor to substitute zebras for mules in dragging their coaches. These very graceful striped quadrupeds •re no doubt fleeter of foot than the mule and perhaps as swift as the horse, but there is an important superiority over both that they possess. They NIJoy absolute Immunity from that very fatal ailment of South Africa vaguely called horse siokn«ss, whioh in a single night In low country kills a horse or mule turned out on the veldt. The loss from this cause is a heavy item in the expenses of a South African livery stable. It is found that the zebra does not kick and is gently amenable to the rein by having a soft mouth. A tendency to bite is the one vice they have, but this they cease to practice when not afraid of being hurt.
It is the intention of the Arm to attempt cross-breeding with horses. The result will be awaited with considerable Interest. Anew hybrid of hopeful stamina and qualities for harness or the saddle may confidently be expested, and perhaps the somber nnconthness of the cross between the horse and ass will be overcome and replaced by graces of form and charms of color. It seems strange that it should be left until to-day to essay the domestication of the zebra. The horse and ass have so long been pressed into service that the original habitat of both is disputed. They either come from Asia or Africa. But the fossil horse is also found in America, and some of the types go so far back in geological time as to suggest that the horse had its origin on the American continent. But when Columbus landed the horse was unknown and all the troops of wild coursers have descended from domesticated breeds which have escaped from control. South Africa produces not only the zebra, but the quagga and the dauw, congeners which might also prove of use in crossing. Both have been domesticated, but the experiment has not been carried to practical utility. The opportunity to introduce the quagga as a hybrid or pure bred has almost been lost, as the animal is either extinct or very scarce. The dauw is adapted to life on the plains and still roams in great herds north of the Orange river.
GREATEST MENACE TO FORESTS.
Making of Paper from Wool r«D*«i Wholesale ilestraotlon of Trees.
The extensive use of wood in mak tng the cheapest grades of paper offers one of the serious obstacles to forest preservation, says the Philadelphia Telegraph. In the last two or three years the growth of the wood-pulp in dustry has been enormous, a dozen great mills, each manufacturing from fifty to three hundred tons of pulp a day, have been built on the Hudson river, to jed principally on the Adirondack forests. The wood chiefly used is spruce, and the especially disastrous effect, of the industry on the forests results not only from the extreme demand for the lumber, but from the fact that while the demand is especially for trees of thirty to thirty-flve years growth, the young trees are also cut. In 1881 the capacity |. of.the pulp mills of the United StateB was about seventy-two thousand tons per annum. The present capacity is seven hundred thousand tons.
And in this remarkable growth the Industry has been accompanied by these three desirable things: Increase

We hope the good people of Crawfordsville will continue to push the temperance work on until every saloon in that town and surrounding towns will be a thing of the past. The law requires a man to be of good moral character before he can obtain license for the selling of intoxicating liquors. Did you tiver hear tell of a man being of good nornl character that would sell his fellow beings a drng, causing him, prob ably, to shoot down his best friend or go upon the street reeling and cursing?
No! Then, how under the sun can he obtain license? If any of the correspondents can answer the above quest-ion ive would like to bear from them.
