More Democratic Reform.

The Democrats of the House, in search
of material for campaign document,
passed "a resolution the other day calling
upon Sec'y Chandler to communicate all
possible information relating to the in
vestment of the Indian Trust Fund by
former Secretaries of the Interior. Not
withstanding the hot weather, old Zach
set about the work, and, although he is
not yet half through, he has opened up
mine of Democratic rottenness that is
panning out with extraordinary richness.
Under the law which was passed in 184t
the Secretary of the Interior was directed
TO invest the money held in trust for the
benefit of certain tribes in United States
bonds, but the Statement of the Democrat

prepared, and upon which he is bringing

Secretaries invested largely in Southern
State bonds, old canal and turnpike stock
repudiated bonds, and other truck which
was comparatively worthless, and much
Of il never negotiable. In this way of
Democratic Investment over tpO million of
dollars were placed, Mr. Buchanan's Secre-
tary of the Interior, Jacob Thompson,
being responsible for one half of the rob
berry. With principal and interest, the

Locality Of the War In Europe.

THE war between Servia and Turkey
brings places which have hitherto been
little known of, into importance. Nicsic

ated in Southeastern Herzegovina, near
the Montenegrin frontier. The level
country in its envrUhs is inhabited chiefly
by Musslilmans, the town containing u

is surrounded by wall six feet thick
and twenty four feet high, built of stone.
The armament consists of twenty old
fashioned guns The barracks will ac-
commodate 800 men, and the hlockhouse
2, 800 more.
Widdin is a fortified town in Bulgaria,
ON the right bank of the Danube, 40
miles east-southeast of Belgrade. 1t is a
powerful position, being surrounded on
the land side by morasses, and defended
by strong citadel, by walls and forti-
fed island in the Danube. 1t has always
played an important part in the Turkish
contests, and Is called by the Turks "The
Virgin Fort, from its never having been
taken. 1t is in communication with the
Black Sci, at Nigh water, and has popu-

John Hunjades against Mohamed II. from
July to September, 1856, was taken by
Sultan SOlyman in 1921, and retaken by
the Imperialists in 1858, from whom it
was again taken by the Turks in 1890. In
1716, Prince Eugene besieged it and cap

its Notifications were demolished, and 1t
was ceded to the Turks 1t was retaten
in 1889, and restored at the peace of Reich

Turkey In 1920 the Notifications were
restored, In 1867 it was surrendered to
the Servians by the Turks. The town has

Hon. S. M. CulIom in Chicago.

The first outdoor political meeting of
the season was held in Chicago last Satur-
day evening, near the site of that glorious
old wigwam of 1860, in which Abraham
Lincoln was nominated. Not less than
10000 people assembled and listened with
enthusiastic attention to the addresses
The first speaker was Shelby NJ. Cullom,
our next Governor. His name headed the
list of advertised speakers. He Is not
simply or mainly conspicuous by virtue
of his position. He is statesman of
large acquaintance with the National and
State affairs, and an orator of noble DOW
ers. Of the other invited orators from
abroad none had promised to come except
Col, Ingersoll, and he telegraphed that,
owing TO severe sickness, he could not be
present but would make it all up to us be-
fore the campaign closes. Mr.. Storrs fol
lowed Mr.. Cullom in one of his mastery
efforts. DIR. Dyer, Mr.. Larned, Hon. A.
l.. Morrison and Col. Ricaby each made
brief and well-receiyed addresses AT a
moderate estimate there were 1000 peo-
pie present, Notwithstanding the oppres
sive heat which prevailed. Alderman
McCrea presided, his remarks upon tax
ing the chair being pertinent and felici-
tous. ll atI ~.
Mr.. Cullom is well acquainted with
both of the candidates upon the National
Republican ticket, having served with
them both in Congress. He vouched for
their absolute purity and eminent ability.
Each has marked individuality, hut they
are thoroughly harmonious OF their op-
ponents Mr.. Cullom well said
The Democratic party could have scarcely found
two men who had less sympathy with each other
~ principle and In feeling upon the great questions
DeIore me country To-day than the two men they
have seiected for President and President u
the United States. There s only one common
bond existing between these two Democratic
nominees, and that bond II that both alike were
anti war men during the % eat struggle through
whlch this country was passing during the late
war Tor the suppression Of the rebellion. hose
two men agreed In that plain proposition that they
were not IN sympathy with the Republican party
having control Of the Government In crushing
out the rebellion, as 1t did during that long
struggle. 80 -
The speaker then observation-disclosures
the war and reconstruction record of the
Republican party. Referring TO the de.
mand for reform, he said the party was in
favor of it, but he fitly add:
Not that sort Of reform that would come from
the hands Of man all his life engaged in schem
ing, IN speculation, In connection with great rail
road corporations; not that sort OF reform thai
would come from the hands Of q man who was
charged years ago by the last Democratic NOMINEES

preparation, the Government is out for
both principal and interest,
Sec'y Chandlor's tabulated statement
shows a very neat instance of Democratic
financiering, but il is not of that particular
sort which the Democrats will want TO use
as campaign document. They struck u
very peculiar bonanza, which panned out
the wrong way when they ran over little
Johnny Davenport; but in this case the
development is much richer, since Sec'y
Chandler has already unearthcd Demo
cratic robbery of five millions, and is not
nearly through yet Still, with what
Tilden knows of ballot.box stufling and
with what the party knUws Of stealing
form trust. funds, there is an eminently
cheerful prospect of purity in the Demo
cratic administration. The Democrats
made several lusty and vigorous howls for
reform in their platform, but they did not
howl for reform in the practice Of stufiing
ballot boxes or stealing electoral votes
We do not remember that there is any
howl in the platform for reform of the
practice of stealing millions from funds
held in trust for Indians .-Chtcdgo TfD

Harmony and Work.

The prominent central fact in the situa-
tion is, that there are no sore heads nor
sore hearts left in the Republican party
All bitterness is eliminated; all difference
healed. The Liberal Republicans and sup
porters of Greeley have returned to the
fold, and will work and vote for the elec-
tionof Hayes and Wheeler. Not one of
the prominent candidates whose names
were presented at the Cincinnati Conven-
ton, and who was unsuccessful, has any
feeling hostile to Mr.. Hayes, but without
exception all heartily wish for his success
Nor will they remain passive spectators
and inactive factors during the campaign
but will earnestly labor for the success Of
the ticket. The political signs of the times
are exceedingly favorable, and the nomi-
nations are regarded as very fortunate; but
we need, beside unity and harmony, an
other most important element of success
action. Every Republican should be suf-
ficiently interested in the result to labor
for success, and go to the polls and vote.

Curious Natural Cisterns.

In the rough granite country back from
Mossamesdes, on the west coast of Africa,
are some very remarkable natural cisterns
The country itself is peculiar, huge single
rocks rising out of the nearly level plain
in some places, and otherhills of rocks, in
several of which deposits of water are
found at the very top. A recent traveller
visited one of these and describes il as Il
natural tank with narrow entrance, con-
tanning some 300 or 400 gallons exquisiteiy
clear and cool water II was covered by
vast slabs of granite, from which the rain
drained into 1t during the rainy season,
shading the water so that it could not be
seen without torch, and so protecting it
that the sun cannot evaporate it during the
dry season. THUS bountiful store of
excellent water is preserved, while there
was not n drop TO he had elsewhere for
miles A still more remarkable cistern
of this sort is that of the Pedra Grande or
Big Stone, some thirty miles from Mos
samesdes, huge rounded mass of granite
rising out of asandy plain. on the smooth
side of this rock, twenty or thirty feet
above the plain, is circular pit about ten
feet deep and six feet across The rain
fall on tn rock above the pit drains into
II filing IL completely every rainy season,
The walls of the pit-which is shaped like
crucible narrowing gently to the bottom
are perfectly smooth and regular, the in.
closing granite being of the closest and
hardest description. The cstern will
hold several thousand gallons of water.
Near by are smaller pits of similar char
actcr. Their formation Is unexplained.
The water OF this strange well furnishes
the natives and travellers with an abundant
supply during the dry season, consequently
il is u noted halting. place

Removing the Bark from Bodies of
Apple Trees.

WE have frequently seen the entire bark
stripped from the bodies of apple trees,
with advantage to the trees. In few in
stances we have done it with our own
hands. But it was performed at a season
of the year when new layer of wood was
being formed outside of the stem, consist
ing of material for both wood and bark
This remains on the tree when the bark
leaves it. The exposure to the air and
light Immediately hardens the outside and
all the functions go on as before, through
the agency of this thin, fresh bark There
is doubtless one advantage now possessed
by ii over the old, hard, scaly surface. 1t
is we'll known that green bark performs,
to certain extent, the same functions as
leaVes--an example which Is furnished IN
the stock on which graft is set. The
stock has no leaves of itself and all the
work of supplying it with food is done by
the leaves of the graft. But the bark of
the stock performs the finishing process
and converts the new wood into its own
kind or variety In a similar way the
fresh, new bark of the peeled tree assists
the functions of the leaves and does some
thing more than the leaves alone would do,
and in this way positive benefit is re.
ceived from the operation. Whether II
would do to repeat it often it is quite
doubtful. The best time in the summer
can he determined only by experiment
but it should be doubtless when there is
most vigor of growth. II will be under
stood that the Whole success consists IL
not scraping or injuring the enewsurface
