Bananas are perhaps the only non
stimulating article of food that can grow
on the taste like a seductive tonic.
Habtues would rather forego their
daily bread and would hardly miss pota-
toes, peas, or appless as long as they can
eat their fill of the musa sapientum- And
of that sweetmeat of natures retectory a
minium of culture will here produce a
yearly crop Of 25.OO pounds an acre
enough to feed a family of gluttoms the
year round. The Cuernavaca variety
produces a fruit from ten to fourteen
inches in length, and single bunch often
contains more than 800 of such fruit.
After a banana garden has once been
set cut and got well rooted. subsequent
work for tsn-acre orchard does not re-
quire more than a weeks labor per year
1t simply consits in gathering the ripe
punches and cutting of the stem of the
palm-like parent plant. II left alone, that
stem will slowly wither; but II cut off
close TO the ground the root stock pro-
duces new shoots, which can either be
transplanted or suffered to grow up in
stu, to ripen their crop in the course OF
the next year. Maupertais enumerates a
dozen different reasons IN support of his
theory that man was originally a native
of the northern tropics, but to me the
best proof always seemed the circum-
stance that those regions comprise high
lands combining an abundance of ba-
nanas with a complete freedom from
insect plaques and climatic diseases.
Banana planters have superior facili-
ties for bee-culture, for the flower petals
of the musa drip with abundant honey,
but in Mexico that abundance betrays it
self chiefly in butterfly swsrms, which
naturalists are apt TO recollect, together
with the myriad' of glittering Iriscrows
that compete for the gleanings OF the
south Mexico banana country.-Dr. Felix
L. Oswald in Chicago Times

"Oneninr the RnnLsn

Under the head of "Opening the Books in
the campaign textbook issued by the Demo
cratic National committee we find the state
ment that the treasury records show that the
thefts of the Republican party from the
United States treasury, including over 81
nO,OOO defalcations, amount TO S25. .OOj, 900,
or sl,0OO000 per anuum during Republican
control of the government If any have
been careless enough to believe this it is time
they were undeceived. The alleged record
in this campaign book is compiled from the
treasury books containing the list of all defal-
cations, disputed accounts and amounts due
TO individuals the record covering the period
from lII9 to 1854.
The treasury books show that the aggre-
gate of defalcatiOns and disputed accounts
from 1889 to 1854, is S26 OOO, 900, over one
half of which belongs TO the period before
1861, the year the Republicans came into
power. The aggregate of these defalcatiOus
and disputed accounts from ISL to 1884. is
Sl2, ,SgS, 41d, and it is more than probable that
fully one-half of this does not represent
money stolen, as it was inevitable during the
great civil war, with hundreds of thousands
of soldiers in the field, that ere should be
many disputed accounts between the govern
ment and its quartermasters, paymaSters and
officers in the field, occasioned by the loss Of
account books, death of officers, and confu.
sion of accounts incident to war times. Or
the Sl2, Sl3, isG above referred to, s. ,2OO. .9S4
is charged 20 President Lincoln's term or the
a - Ia. of,-il a,,I
to Andrew Johnson's administration.
But if the amount lost and stolen during
the Republican administration, from 1861 to
ISL were 81. SG', 4T6, as charged, how would
this compare with the record of the Demo-
cratic administration The treasury books
from which this record were made up show
that the amount of defalc atoms and disputed
accounts from 1889 to 1861 was over Sl3, ,OOO.-
O1l. The total receipts and disbursements of
the government from 1889 to 1861 aggregated
81, 800, 10000. In handling this amount the
Democratic and other administrations lost or
stole 81 30 for every $1,000! The total re-
ceipts and disbursements of the government
from 1861 to 1850 amounted to S3l. .j9S. 900.
0JG, seven times the amount handled from
the foundation of the government TO 1861
And in that time Sl2, 500, 4;6 was lost. stolen
or tied up in disputed accounts, or less than
forty cents for each 81 900 received and dis
bursed!
But 70 be even more exact we give the
losses, under each administration, on each
$1,000; Washington 81 -, Adams 81 50. JEFF

chanan S3.Sl, Lincoln 76 cents, Grant "A
cents, Hayes, Garfield and Arthur, less than
one cent Thus by the Democratic campaign
book it is proven o the intelligent man that
the Republican party has handled the public
funds with greater honesty and efficiency
tn IN any other administrations have ex-
hIbited.

Ihave often noticed how apt people are
to go on journey heller skelter and trust
to luck to bring them through all right in
the end. They have a general idea as to
where they want to go and what trains
they want to catch, but apart from that
they leave the matter in the hands o. the
conductor and Providence. The conse-
queuce is that in many cases they take
the wrong trains and invariably miss con.
nectiOns. Then they abuse the railroad
company and all appertaining to it. They
never think that few inquiries made be-
forehand would have saved them a heap
of trouble and generally any amount Of
profanity. But Of such is the travelling
public, and l don't suppose that any
preaching that may do will have any
effect on them, and they will go on miss
ing connections and objurgating the rail.

THE COURSE OF TRUE LOVE.

Good night, my sweet one" he said,
And lingering kiss he threw,
Then through the lawn he sped
And quickly lost to view
But her father had watched it all,
And an awful swear he swore
As he took his gun from the wall
And through the bushes tore
And the lover mcOnSciOuSly
Walked to the garden gate:
lie thought of his sweet Marie
Who soon would be his mate.
Then he felt grip on his pants
And he heard fathers breath,
Like flash he was over the fence
And escaped a certain death.
But his coat he left on the fence.
And his pants in the bull dogs Jaws,
And rs he hurried thence
He simply said: Good Laws,
Tomorrow I'll 90 To the sale
At J. NJ. knote'S bargain store
And buy a suit without fail
For the suit that the bull dog tore"
When Marie saw bin next day
In his elegant five dollar clothes,
She threw him kiss cross the way
And loved him more for his woes.

On the 10th of September, 1856, John
Mcbride democratic candidate for the Office
of secretary of state, is reported TO have
made the following utterancc TO an audi
ence of miners. at Buchtel, Ohio:

The very least any patriot or good cit

such an utterance to any class of men
anywhere, is that he is a very unsafe man

America (or in their opinion As announced

ance Of Mcbride is most dangerously indis-
Greet. Ii is an utterance that he had no
right to make, as citizen, and by making
it he proved himself disIoyal to the princi-
pies and policy of the Knights of Labor.
Mr. Mcbride is the official leader Of the
democratic party, in the campaign now
upon it, and although he was denounced
months ago by the Mansfield Shield and
Banner and the Steubenville Gazette, as a
dangerous demagogue, he was, in face of
all this, nominated at Toledo, with the pur-
pose of securing votes of honest law-abid
ing republican wOrkingmen. Shall such an
unholy purpose be accomplished? We
doubt whether all democratic worklngmen
will support him.

According 10 the array of figures grouped
by Mr.. Munhall, an English statistician and
free-trader. protection seems To work very
well in the United States; that is 10 say,
very well for the American people. Mr.
MulhaIl gives the relative annual growth Of
the wealth-producing capacity of the world
as follows: United States, SS25. 600, 600;
France, $3.50. OO0 900; Great Britain, $685.
coo, coo; Germany, 5000. 900, 900; other
countries. ST25. 900. 900. From these figures
a correspondent of the Boston advertiser
shows that 1.-THE people of this country,
only 4 = per cent. of the population of the
globe. produce more than One-third of the
entire accumulated wealth of the whole
world" and that conclusive argument in
favor Of protection is presented in the fact
that France and the United States, both pro-
tective countries, produce 10000, 900 and
$500, 900, 900 respectively more than free
trade Great Britain. Hadn't We better let
a little better than well enough alone?

Gen. J. Warren Keifer was discovered at
the Fifth avenue hotel. New York, on Mon
day. by a special correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Commercial Gazette, and inter
viewed for the benefit of that paper. He
said that Ohio would go republican, this
fall. by majority that would surprise the
democrats: that the prohibitioniSts would
fall behind their regular vote, by 5000; and
the republicans would gain five congress
men. The General thought, also, that lndi-
ana would go republican. We quote from
the interview, the following:
What is the issue the republicans make
in0hiO:"
The chief one will be the tariff. We object
to Morrison's bill. especially TO some of the
articles he has put on the Tree list, wool being
one. Then President Cleveland's veto Of So
many private pension claims will be severely
criticised. He has vetoed more pension claims
than nearly all the republican presidents put
together. Ii seems to me he has violated the
spirit of the constitution by the abuse of the
veto power. He has antagOniZed a large and
potent element and the elections will prove
how the people repudiate his action. But We
have grand attack 10 make, one that We have
not had a chance to invoke in twenty four
years. We shall proceed TO pick the dem
cratic administration TO pieces as they have
will be an easy matter. The whole course Of
the administration Is open 10 censure. and
great many democrats who are thoroughly dis
gusted, will join in the attack. Then We shall
attack the outrageous violations OF the law in
the high-handed way the democrats have com
mt,ed frauds with the ballOt-bON. In Cincin-
matt the frauds were giaring and many voters
were distraRchsed. The democrats north are
initiating their southern brethren in ballot
box Sturng. We shall also touch upon the
fact that in the south the republicans are pTac-
ucally disfranchised, and have no way of
properly demanding their constitutional pre-
negatives. We shall not want for war ma
terial"
How are the presidential candidates boom
ing out west?''
"Well, am John Sherman man out aud
out. He is a candidate, and will have Ohio at
his back. Governor Foraker is very popular,
and is a possible presidential nominee in ISIS.
