AN ORGANIZED PARTY.

The assertion made by the tool o
organ, that the Republican party 0
Ormsby is without platform or organ
ization, only amuses the regular Re
publicans of Carson. All the disorgan-
izatiOn trouble and confusion which the
party ever suffered came through toll
Grating few people in it who, thanks
to the determined action of the Central
Committee, are now officially expelled
in the hope that their gang and all OF
its belongings would take the same
path. The APPEAL, as long ago as two
years, warned the party against these
mischiefmakers and pointed out at the
time the sort of action Necessary to
stamp out treason and jiobbery. The
party is now better organized than ever
and has Central Committee who
clearly comprehend the situation and
its needs. The process OF thrSttling
the conspiracy to break up the organ
ization was promptly effected and the
thanks of the community are due the
gentlemen who accomplished their duty
in SO summary ana determined q man
ner. The lines of the fight are now
clearly drawn. Two tickets are in the
field. A straight Republican ticket,
composed of leading business men and
taxpayers, second ticket, put up by
discontented Republicans who captured
the Democratic convention, and are
now organizing for a raid Oh the Coun-
ty Treasury under the banner of
s.Fusion and Reform" The straight
Democrats have really no ticket in the
field, and openly deneunce the owen
ton which so openly seld itself 10 a
band of 'santi-everything" people, not
numbering over thirty votes in the lot.
Most of the men on the ticket are
making a howl about high taxes, and
do not pay any taxes except ii poll tax,
and dodge that if they can. Some OF
these men are good enough personally,
but they are not identified with the
business interests of Carson, have taken
no leading part in its enterprises and
are not considered in any way repre-
sentative men of the city. The fusion
fdur pas of four years ago has not been
forgotten by tho taxpayers Of Ormsby,
and its results still live in the records
Of the Grand Jury reports and suits in
the District Court. The county ad-
ministration during the last two years
is a marked contrast to the preceding
two years, as much a contrast as
marked the seven years of plenty and
seven years of famine in ancient Egypt
People who are not sufficiently sickened
of their experiences and to whom the
lessons of the past are lost will vote the
Fusion ticket.

House Gardening.

The love for window flowers or for
plant cabinets attached to dwelling
rooms seems to be increasing in popu-
larity from year to year. In all deco
rations,, wheth II for the dinner-table or
special festive occasions, both living
plants in pots and cut flowers enter
largely. They are expected to be pres
ent, and the welcome does not seem
to be complete without them. When
the host has them not they have to be
furnished by the florist, and are, of
course, considerable item of expense.
Those who grow them themselves have,
therefore, not only the pleasure which
flower-culture involves, but also are
able to save in some degree the ex-
pense which memorable social laws in
volve. Such considerations seldom
enter into the mind of the true flower
lover, but we can see how well the love
often reaps a substantial reward. In
advising what aspect to have for plants
one can only say that, if flowers are an
object, sunlight in winter is of great
importance; but if the room is so stu
ated that sun cannot be had, one must
be content with ferns, palms and leaf
plants. The same remark is true of a
greenhouse as Of room. Where
flowers are desired in winter all the
sunlight possible should be encouraged.
1t is this fact which makes steep pitch
to greenhouse Of the first import
ance, though there are some advanta-
ges in favor of hater roofs. In regard
to the atmosphere Of room plants, it is
often thought desirable to have it very
moist, but it is rather the gases from
the furnaces and gas burners which
make it so difficult to raise plants in
rooms. The slightest faint of burnt
sulphur is an injury to vegetation. If
one can succeed in keeping out of a
plant atmosphere these troubles, the
dryness of the atmosphere need give
little concern.

Cranky Crows.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4. The war de-
partment is informed, it is understood
unotficially, from Forts Keogh and
Ellis, M. T., that it is quite probabl e
that there will be an outbreak of the
Crows, who occupy a reservation the
size of the state of Connecticut in that
vicinity, in the spring. Even if they
shall break out next. spring it will not
be, it would seem, without casus bell
afiording adequate provocation to jus
tify their act. 1t seems from the mar
rative made to the war department by
army officers, who are of course en-
tirely unprejudiced, that under an ar.
rangement concluded with the Crows
by the interior department for the
Northern Pacific railroad, that corpora
ton is entitled to take ties for its road.

eign affairs and the house committee
on commerce relative to the question
of an interoceanic Passage ACROSS the
American isthmus is still being fiercely
waged. The members of the two COM
mittees lave had several informal con-
fereroes without being able to come to
any terms of amicable settlement. The
members of the committee on foreign
affairs pronounce the attempt of the
committee on commerce to monopolize
the important question an example OF
unmitigated cheek, while Mr.. Page,
chairman of the committee on COM
merce, blandly smiles and claims that
his committee assumed charge of the
matter before the foreign affairs CON-

result of tins deadlock will be that the
house will take hold of the question
and instruct the speaker to appoint a
special committee on the interoceanic

sCRAMBLING UP THE LADDER

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-There is quite
furry of excitement in a small way
in army circles over a renewal of the
time-bonored rumor that various army
officers of high rank are to be retired
instanter. Among them are named
the quartermaster general, the pay
master general and the surgeon gen
eral 1t is as difficult however, to get
at the presidents purposes in this re-
gard, as it is to find out in advance
what he means to do in any other mat
ter, and he has acquired the repctation
of being the hardest man to pump
that has occupied the white house in
the past twenty years. 1t is known,
however, that the friends of certain as
pirants have been pressing very hard to
secure the changes mentioned. Gen.
Rufus ingalls,, who is ambitious to sue
coed Quarterma ,ter General Meigs, has
the Grant influence strongly urging his
claims, while Gen. Sheridan, it is
claimed, is urging that Gen. Meigs, who
is sixty-fve, shall be retired, and that
Gen. Rucker, Sheridan's ther-in-law,
who is seventy, be appointed to sue
coed him.

A Decision.
GEORGE LEWIS RELEASED.

MILWAUKEE, WIS, Feb. 6--The writ
Of hdbeas corpus that was recently sworn
out by Mr.. Howard Van Wyck for the
release from the house of correction of
George Lewis, was sustained this fore
noon by commissioner Ryan. Lewis,it
will be remembered, was sent out foI
four months on the charge of carrying
concealed weapons. The ground on
which the writ was issued was that the
commitment was defective, inasmuch
rs 1t did not state the committing of
any specific crime. Carrying concealed
weapons was not in itself ground for
sentence, but a crime must be shown
to have been committed

use and Ahuse Of the Hair.

Every organ of the human body is
given to do some special service to that
body. To prevent that service, to
thwart any organ from its legitimate
business, is to injure the body more or
less. The hair of the head has 81 spec
ial and important business to do, which
it is too often prevented from doing,
much to the injury Of the possessor.
First, it is intended as protection and
covering for the head. The old adage,
"Keep the head cool and the feet
warm" has led many persons into the
mistake of thinking that the head can
be safely exposed to the cold. Keep
the head COOL" is a safe maxim if APP
Piled to the inside of the head, that is,
it meant to deter from brain-heating
drinks: it is very unwise if it meant
that the head should not be well pro-
tected from severe cold, from cutting
and severe winds. When the fashion
of removing every strand of hair from
the ears and temples, and turning it up
from the nape Of the neck, was first
adopted by women, the London Lancet
commented on the style and said it
would induce plentiful crop of neural
gia. The Lancefs prophecy has proved
to oe true. Facial pains ere quite com
mon with young girls; neither the pres
ent style of hats nor of wearing the hair
affords their heads any protection from
the biting blast.
The grand important business for the
hair is to serve as an electrical conduc-

tor, to catch from the air electricity and
convey it to the brain, and through the
brain to the nerves Of the body. This
function is thwarted by fashion. Men
cut their hair too short, womea twist
and torture, and tie up the ends of the
hair and contine them tightly to the
head. Both sexes would be more Wig
orous and elastic, mentally and bodily,
If the hair was permitted to do its part
in the human economy.

A FELLOW FEELING ON THE PART OF THE
SENATOR'S.

FELLoW-FEELING ON THE PART OF THE
SENATOR'S.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The Sherman
investigation still drags its weary length
along, and though many conflicting
statements are made as to the evidence
the committee is accumilating, no one
seems to be able to speak authoritative
ly as to what has recently been devel-
oped. Neither can any one tell wheth-
er or not the committee is friendly to
the ex-secretary, though it is known
that individual members Of it have CIV
en- him proof of their friendly feeling in
connection with the inquiry. 1t is
charged that one member of the
eommittee--a republican--has been
furnishing him daily with a
copy of the evidence taken,
which has been ofgreat service to him.
The extending of the scope of the in
vestigation to the contingent funds of
the several departments was secured
by democratic member Of the COM
mittee, who is said to be very friendly
to Mr.. Sherman, and it is charged that
this attempt to waste the energy of the
inquiry by scattering it over so much
surface was actuated by desire to
shield the ex-secretary. There is also
a sort of esprit du corps among senators,
which will initiate strongly against any
adverse report by the committee.

and resumed his place to-day in the
patent office. 1t is understood that
the road has been embarrassed by crit
lcism, on account of his decisions when
in official position. 1t is said that this
fact also made his connection with the
road embarrassing to himself, so that it
was mutually agreed that their rela-
tons had better terminate. II is re-

nation relieved the presiden. OF the diff

OFFICERS AT WASHINGTON Ho HAVE NOT
SEEN THEIR COMMANDS IN 80 YEARS.
WASHINGTON, Feb. "A growing evil
in the military serv' Je OF recent years
has been the favoritism which permits
of a privileged class of officers being al
lowed leaves of absence from their post
for years, while others, not so favored,
are kept on frontier duty during the en-
tire period of their active service. There
are officers here in Washington who
have not seen the commands to which
they are supposed to be attached for a
score Of years, during all of which time
thew have regularly drawn their sala-
ries: while there are others now endur-
ing the hardships of frontier life who
have never had lieve of absence ex-
tending over six months. This class Is
principally made up from The appoint
ments from the volunteer service, from
civil life and the few cases Of promo
ton from the regular army, and such
West Point graduates as have but little
influence on which TO draw for favors.
