and never fails to make the best speech

few men in public life who are parlia-

THE contest for Representative Nc.
Kinley's seat will very likely come up
among the first, because that gentle

prospect of soon Ousting him, the mer-

We believe no such stuff. If Major

IA will be because the facts in the case
entitle him to il. Otherwise he Will be

have anything to do with the matter,

make the people believe any such thin

III Mr.. Mckinley was elected to Con-
Rress from this district. he ought to be
allowed to take his seat. And he will.
If he was not elected, the Republican
party cannot afford to be misrepresented
by him in Congress, nor by any man,
Republican or Democrat, who is not the
choice of the people. Such stuff as the
above being constantly sent from Wash
inRtOn to the Cleveland papers, Will not
have the effect intended, for 1t Is not a
question of sentiment, but of right. 1t
Is humiliating, at least, that Republi-
can majority of $500 must be reduced to
a majority Of one, or that Democrat

lean has no ill feeling toward Mr.. Nc
Kinley, but it discourages any siekly
sentiment to keep him in his seat. If he
rs elected, there is no occasion for such
nonsense being continually telegraph
ed and published; if not entitled to the
seat he ought to get out or be fred out.
The conviction out this way among the
better class of Republicans IS that an.

TAX reform Is the Democratic shibbO-
leth for the Presidential campaign of
1884. Instead of the general govern
ment taking a hundred millions or
more from the people each year, more
than is needed for an economical admin
istratiOn, the Democrats propose that
this money shall remain with the peO-
pie. Governments derive their just
rights from the people, and surely have
no Just right to Oppress and rob the peO-
pie, or give others license to do 80. All
this is just what the Republican party
in power have been doing. The Repub-
lican party must go.

Delicious Coffee.

In coffee growing countries, where
the berry makes short journey from
the bush to the mouth, this process is
not necessary; and in the mountains
of st. Domingo, the native darkies
make coffee in very quick fashion
They take the fresh berries and parch
them for few minutes, then crush
them in a mOrtar-and for each per.
son put a tablespoonful of fragrant
fragments into a conical-shaped bag,
the exact number of coffee cups full
of boiling water is measured out and
poured twice through the bag. This
completes the process, and the result

But some one comes forward with
an air of authority and says: Take a
coffee cup of the best Java coffee,

is as clean as the cup you drink from,

For these reasons the Courier-,J ournal
believes that the south ought to raise
instead of buy its food-a policy,
moreover, which will enable it to pro-
duce cotton cheaper.
Another plan to be pursued, if the
south is determined to drive Egyp-
tian and Indian cotton from the mar
ketS of Europe, is to increase the
yield of the staple to the acre rather
than increase the acreage. Cotton, as
general thing, costs so much an acre
to cultivate; if the yield can be in
creased the cost of the staple is very
materially reduced, and at the same
time no land is taken which should
be given to grain.
That the yield per acre can be
greatly increased by improved modes
of agriculture and by using select,
improved and prolific seed, which
bear a finer and better staple, has been
proved by experiments in Georgia
and other states. If such a policy be
pursued the south need not be afraid
of seven or eight million bale crop,
since she can raise it at cheap and
profitable rates, and without decreas-
ing her grain product; but the policy
which gives the whole south to cot
ton, yielding a quarter or third of a
bale to the acre, is suicidal and means
the continued impoveriShment and
the final bankruptcy of this entire
section.

The Production and Consumption of
Mnnl

The United States Economist, in
regard to wool, remarks that few
things in the civilized world are more
astonishing than the increased con-
sumption of wool. This is best shown
by the statistical account OF the pro-
ductlon which, in the year 1880, was
320,OOO,OOOpounds in weight, and in the
year 1851, had raised to 1926, 10000
pounds. In this extraordinary aggre-
gate, Europe is set down us prOduc-
ing S0S, 10000 pounds, South Amer
lea and Mexico 174,000,OOO pounds,
the United States 185,0O0,0O0 pounds,
Australia 255,O0O,OOO pounds, Africa
100000 pounds.
Of this crop England controls abso-
lutely the Australian, South African
and English wool clips, making Alto
gether larger stock of wool than is
controlled by any other commercial
power In the world. This is the
cause of her long continued suprema-
cy in the manufacture of wooden
goods. She commands "a unlimited
supply of the raw material, and the
product of the British Isles alone eX-
ceedS that of all the United States.
Nevertheless, our own progress in
this business has been truly marvel
GUS within the last twenty years, un-
der the vast domestic demand created
by the enormous growth of the Amer
lean manufacture of wooden fabrics.
In those lines of industry we are now
able to supply ourselves entirely
with nearly all lines of staple goods.
Whether we ever shall become as sue
cessful in the production and expor-
tation of wool as Of cotton, pctro-
leum, lumber and grain, the future
alone can disclose; but we have all
the elements that are requisite for
great success in that line, as in the
production of breadstuffs and provi-
sions. Like all other elements of
northern agriculture, the production
of wool in the United States seems to
be going rapidly and steadily farther
and farther westward.

who has critically examined the
Egyptian obelisk says that it is made
of concrete granite broken in pieces

lime. If his theory is correct it dis
poses of the engineering difficulties
that were supposed to have been sur
mounted by the Egyptians in quarry

durable stone like that in the obelisk
the wonder ceases.
List, the composer, has been sup
posed to entertain the same enmity
for the Jews that was eyinced by
Wagner, but in letter just published
in a Hungarian newspaper he denies
that such is the case, and says that
Meyerbeer, Heine and other Jews
were long his warm personal friends.
He also speaks of various services
that he rendered to meritorious Jew
ish artists, and of aid that he gave to
numerous Jewish benevolent institu-
tions in different countries during his
long public career.
