A Democratic Opinion.

A member OF the extensive edi-
torial staff OF The Republican hap
pened to meet Col. A. c. Ellis on
Thursday. Col. Ellis was for years
a leading politician and lawyer OF
Nevada, and is now pra:icing law
in this city. He used to be very
radical Democrat, but we think he
has toned down somewhat through
reading The Republican. The con-
versation turned on the Silver vic
tory in the Senate, and the Colonel
remarked that ne considered Sena-
tor Stewart hero, statesman and
patriot; that his gallant fight was
for his country in general and for
the greatest industry of his own
State IN particular, and that, if it
came to a pinch, he would vote for
Bill Stewart for President.-San
Francisco Republican.

PEAL relative to espercet has caused
a great demand Tor the seed all
over the United States.
The first article was copied ali
over the country, and the editor OF
the APPEAL has received nearly
1000 letters irouiring for the seed.
These letters were at first promptly
answered, but they came in such
| mum ers that answering was discon-
tinued except where postage was
enclosed. The writer purchased
four pounds OF the seed of w. II.
Maule, Philadelphia, and sowed it,
but it did not come up.
Mr.. Spriagmeyer informs US that
the seed must be fresh or it will
not come up. He wrote to Ger
many, ana was informed tnaI Iney
were unable to send any fresh seed
to the United States before July LIST,
and at present there was no fresh
seed in this country.
People are cautioned against pur-
chasing any seed until they have a
guarantee of Its freshness, as seed
two years old is worthless.

Lefty to the first article on e.percet |
are requested to publish this warn
ing. Herman Springmeyer Will |

The remarkable finish of American
papers places them ahead of any made
elsewhere in the world. The excellent
properties of the paper are impaired by
the addition of a mineral called agalith.
1t is a silicate of magnesia, and is fibrous,
resembling in this respect asbestos.
Large amounts of it are found in the
