IT is utterly untrue that he has ever used any
threats or inducements of any kind to influence
the votes OF Senators-Nelc York Tribune
The Pres ident declared that the votes
Of Senators on the Robertson case would
be regarded by him as a test of personal
and political friendliness. So said the
Trt5Dgte,s Washington correspondent.
Now, the personal enmity of a President
is considered by some Senators as some
thing TO avoid. Every Senator and every
writer on the New York Tribune must
know very well that the President is in
tno mood to tolerate any freedom on the
part of Senators in their votes on the
Robertson nomination. He is as intoI-
Grant of negative vote as any of the
Democratic Senators were of SEN
ator AIahone'S vote against them.
To whatever extent the President can bv
patronage impair the strength of anv
Senator who dares to vote independently
of executive control on this case, to that
extent it will be done. OF this what bet
ter proof isrequired than the Withdrawal
of the five New York appointments Was
it no offer of an inducement to have it
given out that he would perhaps renomi-
nate them if Robertson was confirmed? ? |
Was it no threat to declare that if Rob- |
ertson was defeated he wanted their |
places for other people? This was the
explanation given in the Tribune and |
other organs. If Senators could /
be sure Of not incurring the hostility of
the Executive, does any man believe there
are dozen who would vote for Robert
son? Are there five? 1t is useless to
deny the truth. The President has, by
open and fragrant usurpation of power,
sought to destroy the indeDendence of
the Senate.

I" Do YoU want to make Roscoe Conk-
ling the next President?" said President
Garfield 10 a Democratic Senator. "Of
course not" was the reply. The Presi-
dent then explained that to aid in the
defeat of Robertson would have a tend
eacy in that direction. He did not say
whom he thought Robertson's success
would make the next President. "E. Y.
s. Will look out for that.

the organization and the occurring of the

On Tuesday next the Legislature will

81 looked up and there stood Jim
Kendrick, with his months pay in his
hand. He took out from the roll of bills
a $40 note and held it out to me.
Il knew he had sickly wife and two
or three children, and that he had hard
time of it himself to pull through from
month to month, so l said, half ashamed
of the tears that were streaming down
my face: Indeed, 1 cannot take the
money. You need every cent of it your
self
Indeed, you will take it, man, said
Jim. You will be all right in few
days, and then you can pay it back.
Now come home with me to supper and
see the babies; it will do you good
81 took the bank note and accepted
the invitation, and after that went to his

and gradually lost sight of him. l had

Hendricks little girl here will not want

Then turning again to the child,
whose blue eyes were wide enough now,
the engineer said to her:
"I'll take you home with me, Bessie
dear. when we get up to Wayne. My wife
will fix you up, and we will write and
find out whether those Vermont rela-
tons really want yon or not. If they do.
Mary or 1 shall go on with you. But if
they don't care much about having you.
You shall stay with us and be our little
girl, for we have none of our own. You
look very much like your father, God
bless his memory"
Just then the eastern train whistled.

Frank vanished out of the car door and
went forward to his engine, wiping his
eyes with his Goa. sleeve, while the con-
ductor and sympathetic passengers could
not repress the tears this touching little

Monster Growth.

About three weeks ago the local of the
Union gave notice of a mammoth pie
plant that is now growing on the prem
ises of j. w, Higgins in Sherman's adj
dition. We stated at the time that the
largest leaf of this plant. grown from
seed put into the ground on the Goth of
last April, measured seventeen feet in
circumference. Our contemporaries
criticised us as though we were the lin
cal descendant of the celebrated Baron
Munchausen, and had inherited all the
leading traits of our noted ancestor.
or as a truthful journalist. Yesterday
we measured that leaf in the presence of
two witnesses-Mr. Higgins and DR..
Port. It's circumference was twenty-one
feet and nine inches. The shape is some
what the shape of palm leaf fan, with a
smooth edge, and not full of deep seal
lops as has been surmised by those VINO
had not seen it.
Mr.. Higgins, who was formerly an
Iowa farmer of the old school, has many
other ''big things" growing alongside of
this pie plant. We saw a beet of six
weeks growth that measured B feet l "a
inches in circumference, and a turnip,
of the same age, foot IL inches in CIR
conference. We also saw a small bush,
transplanted last spring, that bore a
ounce which measured 11H inches in
circumference; fig cutting, planted
about the same time, is bearing fruit.
Besides these there were squashes, water
melons, muskmelons, tomatoes and flow
ers, all growing in tropical luxuriance.
The man who wrote little book entitled
Give Acres Too Much must have seen
a duplicate of Mr.. Higgins, place. The
amount of truck" ON that lot of 100x2OO
feet is something simply amazing. San
