First Jew In America.

A Jewish paper tells us that the first
Jew to come to America was one of
Columbus's sailors. His name was Louis
de Parres, and his chief qualification
seems to have been that he understood
all the Semitic languages. He and

A Mushroom Which Grows on Trees.

A New Zealand mushroom, which
grows on the trunks of trees, is likely
to become an article Of expectation to
England. 1t is exported in large guam
titles to China, where it is used in the
preparation of soups. Its botanical
designation is Hirneola polytricha.
When dry, the mushroom becomes
shriveled up, and is as hard as horn;
when wet, it is soft and elastic, almost
subgelatineous. It grows in compact
gregarious masses. The exports average
over 100 tons year, worth probably
not less than $3.50 ton at the place of
shipment, and much more in China

A large proportion of the diseases which
cause human suffering result from derange-

cure the diseases caused by their derange-
ment, including Constipation, Indiges-

and a host of other ailments, for all of
which they are safe, sure, prompt, and
pleasant remedy. The extensive use of these
PILLS by eminent physicians in regular prac-

which they are held by the medical profess

STICKING TO SCANPS.

President Cleveland manIfests not little
anxiety about his Cabinet and the other
officials who are tarTed with the telephone
scandal. According to reports, he has been not
unwilling to change more than once, but has
beer dssuaded by the urgent appeals OF
party friends, or by the pressure OF leading
Southern Democrats. He has been told that it
would not be good for the Admin istration or
the party to abandon any of its friends when
"under file." Other Presidents have had that
idea, and it did not bring them credit. On the
contrary, it stained noble lives
When the President has done right, he has
received credit from his political opponents.
His Administration in financial matters, for
example, has received unstinted praise TO
his defence of the country against the dangers
resulting from silver coinage high honoi has
been ungrudgingly given. Can he not under
stand that he disgraces and destroys HIMSELF II
he identifies his Administration with a set OF
men who have been trading on their oficial
influence. The miserable pcttifogging of the
BOYLE report, the President may be sure. does
not deceive the people in the least. Stock was
given to certain prominent Democrats, because
of their prominence in order to secure their
powerful influence. Public recommendations,
by Garland and others, enabled the company
to sell rights and pocket large sums of money.
But that was not enough. The power of the
Government of the United States was wanted
TO make the job appear more promising. Car
land and GoOde, the master holding the stocks
and the man doing the work, lent themselves
with other high officials of the Government
and leading men of the party to this undertak-
ing and they have dragged the Administration
ana the party into the courts TO conduct
prosecution for their private gain.
President Cleveland came into Office as a
reformcr. OF course, the few spiteful votes
that turned the scales in New York, as he well
knows, would have been cast for Hubert O.
Thompson as readily as for his friend in order
to defeat the Republican candidate. But
behind them was great number of votes cast
by men who really believed Mr.. Cleveland
ready and able to Danish corruption and
jobbery from public affairs. 1t is the plain
truth that but for this notion, he would never
have had chance in the party convention.
He may rest assured that the Democratic party
is not going to shoulder the load of this tee-
phone scandal in the next Presidential cam
paign. President Cleveland can go into
history, if lie chooses, as the President who
prOfesSed to seek reform, ana DlOught about
him the most shameless ring of plunderers that
ever infested the public Offices. Or he can
claim the thlnKs of his own party, and the
confidence of the public, by turning out every
man who has been guilty of participation in
this scandalons job 1t is for him to choose,
and he may be sure that Republicans, who
care much for the success of their party, but
more for the reputation of the country, would
rather not see him drag the American name
through the mre.

THE GLADSTONl -B1LFOUR LETTERS

The correspondence between Mr.. Gladstone
and Mr. B.iour, printed in THE 1EIBUNE's
cable letter yesterday, would have been help
ful to the Liberal canvass if it could have been
published fortnight earlier. 1t discloscs the
fact that al offer was made soon after the
elections of last year to aid the Conservative
Government in settling the Irish question
Lord Randolph Chuchil's assumption that
there was nothing in Mr.. Gladstone's letters
to Mr. Balfour to indicate definite policy
and that the tclms employed would have Gov
cred measures of coercion as well as Home
Rule is not sustained by the evidence. If Mr.
Gladstone had had coercion in mind, he would
not have opened negotiations with the COnsel va
tive Government. That was the lock on which
his own Ministry had been wrecked, and to
which Lord Salisbury had given wide berth
Coercion had been abandoned by the Govern
ment Lord CainarvOn had adopted concili-
atOIy policy; Lord Spencer had been halshly
criticised i'll the House of Commons by Con-
selvauve Ministers for enforcing the Crimes
Act /; and there had been an open alliance be-
tween the NatOnalists and the Conservatives
in the elections. 1t would be irrational to sup
pose that MI. Gladstone seriously proposed a
leyersOn to coercion under such circumstances
and Offered his assistance in carrying meas
ues which majority of his own patty would
be certain to condemn. Besides he distinctly
referred in his letter To Mr. BllfOur to propo al
" ior settling the whole question of the iutme
government of Ieland.' Coercion would have
implied a return TO Lord Spencel's Crimes
Act. 1t could not have been regarded by Nj.
Gladstone as basis for settling the Ilish
question
Although the letter it>ef was vague in its
terms, neither Mr. Balfour nor Lord Salisbury
could have been at loss TO understand Mr.
GladstOne's meaning. Already rumors were
i'll the air that the Liberal leader had become
convert to Home Rule. Statements of hi,
views, unauthorized but generally credited,
had appeared in the London press and Her
