Political Notes.

Eighteen democratic papers in Indiana
have bolted Tilden and declared themselves
for Cooper and Gary, while the republican
press in the State is unanimous for Hayes.
Prof. William Everett, one of the faculty
at Harvard, and the talented son of Edward
Everett, publishes letter ON the duty OF
independent voters, and in conclusion says
he "aees ANYTHING but comfort in the pros
pect offered by the Democrats, and feels
no hesitation in resolving to vote for Hayes
and Wheeler"
Concerning Tilden, the Boston ADDER
tiser remarks: "What Mr.. Adams can see
to admire in such career is incompre
hensible to many who sympathize with him
in his distrust of parties and his dislike OF
party leaders"

Few persons, says the Houston, Texas,

fruit trade of H luston and Galveston. The
average receipts of apples alone at Houston

received as much. Six Car loads q day for
100 davs would be 7S0 car loads of apples az,
say $500 per car, 1924, 900, the value of ap.
pies imported into pexas last season. Be
