few, and his general course so far has indi-
Gated that, as rule at least, faithful officers
will be allowed to serve out the terms for
which they were appointed. 1t may be that
all this is to be changed now and that the

forthwith. 1t is difficult to see, however, If
the President really intended to make a con-
test with the Senate what has been gained
by postponing it until December, especially
as by SO doing he has already alienated con-
siderable number of the leaders of his party.
1t is difficult to understand too what he has
made by playing the hypocrite month, for
this certainly he has done, If he intends, now
that the Senate is out of the way, to begin
clean sweep. Our own opinion is that
with the men who prophecy a general re.
moval of Republican Office holders, the wish
has been father to the thought. We have
seen nothing in Ceveland's conduct SO far
to convinced us that he 10 a hypocrite. We
are inclined to hold better opinion of him

now expecting clean sweep to begin. Tie
developments of the next five months will
show whether we have estimated him too
high or they too low.

Cleveland and the Offices.

The adjournment of the Senate leaves the
President absolutely free to do as he sees fit
with nearly all the important officers until
next December. He can remove all of them,
except such as come within the provisions of
the civil service law, summarily, without
cause, and appoint his political friends in
their stead, and the appointees will hold
their offices without question until the Sen
ate Ieassembles. Then, however, the cir
cumstances of the removals will have to be
laid before the Senate, and that body may
confirm Or reject the appointments as it sees
fit.
The course of the President for the next
few months will be watched with interest,
inasmuch as it will show pretty conclusiyely
whether or not his professed devotion to the
principle of civil service reform is sincere.
The "hungIy and thirsty" are hoping that
the Presidents devotion to that principle
will now wane. Indeed there have been
plenty of prophets who have said "Wait un-
til the Senate is out of the way and then the
clean sweep will begin" Up to the present
time the President has shown remarkable
power of resistance to the demands of his
party. Outside Of the offices whose incum-

1t looks as if the Maine legislature rather
overdid the oleomargarine business. Oleo-
margarine is not very nice stuff for delicate
palates perhaps, but it is quite as good as
much of the butter that is produced in the
country. There is no reason to believe that
when properly prepared 1t is detrimental to
health. Its sale, however, is doubtless
detrimental to country butter makers, and
this is probably the secret of the passage of
the stringent law in regard to it. After
Tuesday, the sale Of oleomargarine is strict.
ly prohibited in this State. We suspect,
however, that very much of it will continue
to be sold. The difference will be that its
sale will now get into the hands of unscrup-
ulous dealers who will sell it as butter, not
as oleomargaIine. Unless a large force of
officers is appointed to specially enforce the
law 1t is likely to be habitually violated.

THE OLD SCENES ARE WILDLY recalled.
Philadelphia Press
Twenty years ago the nation was witness
ing stirring events about Richmond, which
eliminated finally in the surrender of Apo
mattox on the 9th OF April Then the name
of the modest soldier who led our armies to
victory and crushed gigantic rebellion was
upon everybody's lips, and the evidences of
peoples love were showered thick upon
him. Those scenes are recalled wildly to-
day as the nation watches by the bedside of
the old hero as he struggles bravely with the
King of Terrors.

We hardly think the fact that the Rev.
ar. Munson failed to obtain glass of lager
at any of the saloons he visited on FRIDAY
can be accepted as conclusive evidence that
they have all shut down on the liquor bust

none of the saloon keepers know him.

The influence of the rum shops in politics
is aptly illustrated by conversation recent
ly reported in one of the Boston papers.
One man asked another why on Democrat
was elected over another in strong Demo-
cratic district. The answer was that III i,
successful man had two rum shops, while
the defeated man had only one. Perhaps
this will justify the laying down of general
rule applicable TO municipal politics. The
man with two full-sized and well regulated
rum shops can only be beaten by the man
with three.

The "rum war" goes on apace and it is
currently reported that most of the lower
class OF liquor shops are closed. The Argus
says Mr.. Timothy Twigg and Mr.. Martin J.
Fiaherty no longer deal in bottles. This is
encouraging. Still there is reason to believe
that there is yet very much rum sold in
Portland contrary TO law. Marshal Andrews
undoubtedly knows well enough where it is
sold. His work will be far from complete
until these places are visited officially.

The New York Post objects to the appoint

mission because he took part in the Fenian
invasion of Canada in 1864. It's Mugwump

that as loLg as the Post is not squeamish
about the appointment of man to foreign
missions who took part in the attempt to de-
stroy the Union it ought not to object to
Mi. Roberts. The point of the Republican
seems well taken.

were in 1915 when be evolved his celebrated
scheme OF finance in his letter of acceptance.
Nobody ever understood that, not even Mr..
Tilden himself we suspect. But then there

who had to be conciiated. And they always

The King Orange.

4 correspondent wishes to know what
kind of orange is the so-called king
Orange" and its general characters
tics? This orange was introduced from
Cochin China into California by an or
ange grower of Riverside, California,
who had college mate as American
Consul in Cochina. 1t was with much
trouble that the King OF that country
could be pursuaded to allow the removal
OF the trees. Some OF the fruit had been
previously sent on and pronounced SUI
perior to anything ever brought to Cali
fornia. The tree is very thorny and the
spurs grow in different way from any
other kind, the limbs grow more upright
and do not spread like other oranges.
We hope to get some fruit this year from
our trees and will then be able to de-
scribe them better. There is an orange
in Siam also called the king" that is
described as having a transparent, green
skin when ripe, and pink pulp that
can be seen through the skin, and OF a
most delicate flavor. The fruit is in
such high esteem that it is perqui-
site of the royal family and subjects are
not allowed to eat of it. Any one find
ing one Of these trees growing on his
premises is obliged to give notice to an
officer at once or be decapitated. We
very much doubt if the King orange that
we have is the same. If not, perhaps
some Of our orange growers who have
friends in Siam may inquire about it.

Washington Letter.

1t looks as if there viii at last be gem
uine retrenchment and reform in the
Government offices of Washington. Even
that usually serene, imperturbable body,
the United States Senate, has caught the
infection. 1t has become alarmed at its
own extravaganza and has decided that
its contingent fund, as well as the secrets
of its executive sessions, must be pro-
tected. Committee who had done
nothing all winter, desired to employ
clerks, stenographers, messengers, and
to travel about the country all summer,
stopping at this pleasant place for time,
then at that; the expense OF all to be
paid, OF course, by the public. From
time to time the Senate has granted
these privileges to large number Of its
committees. Other committees asked
permission to sit during the Congress
sional recess, with similar favors, until
the contingent fund was threatened with
exhaustion. Senators grew frightened
at their own prodigality, held caucuses,

Soan Berries.

The Botanical name of the Soap Berry
is ISdpindus Sdponaria. The seeds are
easily polished, and were formerly used
for vest buttons, tipped with silver. The
Catholics use them for rosaries, as they
are clearly, and will last for long time;
in fact the more they are worn the better
they get. A small drill is necessary to
make the holes, and strung ON wire they
can be made into crosses to hang to the
necklace. The Jacksonville jewelers.
make handsome ornaments from them.

The Roses.

Mr.. J H. Foster, of Tangerine, gives
in the Semi Tropical the following infor-
nation about growing Tuberoses:
"While 1 was in Eustis few days ago
placing tuberose flowers and bulbs on
sale at Ferran, Moore & Bros. had
many questions asked me in regard to
raising the flowers.
In this climate it is best to SO manage
as to not have the bulbs bloom till late
in the fall, when the weather is cool. In
the heat OF summer they "blast." At
the North the season is short and they
have to do all they can to force the
flowers along or they will be caught by
the fall frosts.
There it is necessary to plant large
bulb; here large bulb would have to be
planted as late as June or it would bloom
too early. Here the smaller sized bulbs
planted during A pril and May will bloom
in the right time in fall. Enrich the
soil literally. The smaller the bulb the
earlier the planting should be done and
the larger quantity of fertilizer should be
used. Plant the lower end of the bulbs
fully six inches below the surface.
Place them erect; ten inches apart is a
good distance. raise only the double
Pearl. The common double and Italian
double and single grow too tall and don't
look so nice. Respectfully,
]. H. FOSTER.
