The endorsem ent given Albert Schef-
fer al the hands of St. Paul's Democracy
demonstrates but one thing, and that is
that the gang of political bosses which
for the last ten years has played the
most conspicuous and demagogic part
in the politics of that city, is as well
versed in scheming as it ever was.
Scheffer did not receive their support
because he may merit it out of general
considerations, because he was the most
available candidate for the Office of
governor, but simply because he would
be the best dummy for their purposes.
Well do they recognize that the Ger
mans OF st. Paul, and for that matter
OF the whole state, stood manly together
at the last elections, and it is this union
they fear, which they would use for the
furtherance of their own unworthy ends.
By endorsing Schefer they are moder.
ately sure of gaining the entire support
OF Ramsey county's independent Ger
man voters, and these they must have
to carry their own ticket. With Schef.
fer as the leading man the secondary
nominees would not meet with that op-
position otherwise directed against them.
If scheffer correctly rates the stand
ing of the tricksters, he will steer clear
OF their support, and thereby uphold
the banner which floats Independently
over the masses of his united country
men. 1t is he who can now best
strengthen the cause of these voters,
which have succeeded by united efforts
to break the chain linking together the
democratic bosses of St. Paul's politics,
and it is he also who can lower by the
course he will adopt in the Immediate
future the esteem in which the German
voters are now held Whichever course
he will take, Albert Scheffer must bea1
in mind that he dare not commit him
self to q clique which exerts itself tic
gain the support and then to abuse it.
of the independent voters of Ramsey
county.

Already the effect of democratic free
trade legislation is beginning to be felt.
AS consequence Of the placing of wool
on the free-list the wool-market is sad
ly demoralized, as is proven by the fol.
lowing report from New Brunswick.
The New Brunswick Hosiery COM
pany is going to shut its doors. This
will throw 800 men and women out Of
employment. Notice has been given
each employee that from July % the
mills will be closed fora few weeks.
The reason is the removal of the tariff
on wool as proposed by the Mills bill.
John N. Carpenter said they are OBJ
liged to shut down on account Of the
stagnation in the wool trade caused by
the uncertainty produced by tariff legis-
lation.

How does this, from Senator Frye's
speech, strike the venerable advocates
of democratic tariff.ideas
AT Stuttgart, an important manu-
featuring point, there is an immense
corset factory, and the wages actually
paid were not one-third of those in a
like concern in the United States. The
entire product was shipped to this coun-
try and inyoiced at one-half its actual
value. Hon. Chas. P. Kimball, for
merly democratic candidate for COVER
nor of Maine, received the appointment
from Mr.. Cleveland to the consulship
at that city. Three months after his
arrival he wrote me: II came here

As mentioned in the Herald, of last
week, DR.. Edwards, of LIE Sueur
county, was nominated for Congress,
at Mankato, by the Prohibition party.
He is a young man of fine appearance
and pleasant manners and is most pop
ular where best known. Last year he
was president of the Southern Mime
sofa Dental Association. He is well
qualified for the position to which he
has been chosen and in in every respect
worthy of the peoples choice. His OPP
ponent, John Lind, is also an honorable
and upright man, as we believe, and if
he were not in favor of continuing the
drink traffic, under the license system,
his candidacy would be acceptable to
all except the Bourbon element of Eng
lish free traders. With the present no.
minees the people have little to fear.

ABOUT CROCUSES.
Their Intimate Connection with the SAT-
from of Commerce.

from of Commerce.
None of our yellow crocuses are Of
European origin; they come to us from
the East, and appear to be compare
lively recent importations. Cloth of
Gold, for instance, is a native of
Turkey and the Crimea, while the
original home of the large yellow GRO
Gus is Asia Minor. Many other kinds
have no doubt been produced by the
ingenuity of the Dutch gardeners,
always skillful in their treatment of
bulbs. The chief interest of the crocus
lies. however, in the fact of its con-
nection with the saffron of commerce.
Twice in the course of history this lat
ter drug has enjoyed a popularity
which seems strange to us-once under
the Greeks and Romans and again in
fffoNo during the fifteenth and six
teenth centuries. Saffron itself is moth
Ing more than the dried stigmas of q
certain purple crocus which blossoms in
the autumn. 1t seems originally to
have been brought from the East. Its
name in any case is Eastern, being, it is
said, merely IL change of the Arabic
word zahtwan. The Greeks and the
Romans, it is true, knew nothing of
this name, but always used the term
crocus for saffron. The undoubted
TACT, however, of its having, on its re-
appearance in Europe, been i'm
ported from the East, confirms the
tradition or notion of its Oriental
origin. 1t was, strangely enough, the
scent which formed its chief attraction
for the ancients. They regarded it as
the most delicious of perfumes, and en-
deavored to introduce it on every pos
siDle occasion. The floors of their halls
and mansions, as also of their theaters,
were strewed with it, and Pliny in one
place recommends that the saffron
should be bruised. in order the better
to diffuse its fragrance. Its flavor was
also greatly appreciated, and Beck
mann says that sin the oldest work on
cookery which has been handed down
to us, and which is ascribed to Apicius,
1t appears that saffron vas as much
employed in seasoning dishes as for
perfume. "-Cham6er'S Journal

The Gray-Hair Fuller.

Possibly the most unique method of
earning living known is that adopted
by big, rosy, twenty year-old blonde,
who finds engagements with women
just lamenting their first gray hairs, to
weed out, so to speak, those obnoxious
reminders of advancing years. The
gray-hairpuller is gentle in her methods
of treatment and makes periodic visits
at intervals of few weeks, spending
from half an hour to two or three
hours, letting down the hair, combing
it out and spying for tell-tale silver
threads. She eagles an innocent-look-

A Story of the Great Wars of To-day.
When the Grand Duke Alexis, of Russia,
visited the United States he was captivated
by the wild life of the far western plains,
and took great fancy to the cowboys, who
reminded him of the famed Cossacks of his
own country. There were three cow boys
of whom he became so fond that he in
vited them to visit him in Russia One of
them was Jacques Dardeville, from New
Orleans; another was Robert Macy, from
Nantucket, and the third was Rory O'Brien,
who came from Dublin when baby. They
ali had nicknames DaTdevlle's being

and OBrien's Little Bricks" from his
small stature and gamy qualities in a row.
These cowboys liked the Grand Duke SO
well that they resolved to accept his invita-
ton, and as soon as they could get ready,
they went to Russia, and hearing that
Alexis was in Moscow, they fastened thith-

WORMS IN HORSES.
How to Expel the Two Kinds which Are
Most Common.

Intestinal parasites are seldom, il
ever, found in healthy animals, and
their presence are invariably due to n
deranged state Of the digestive organs
and to an impoverished condition.
Worms are found in more or less guam
all horses, and some of these subjects
appear to enjoy the very best of health.
We do not believe that these parasites
are rs often source of annoyance to
horses as are generally supposed by
horsemen; that they occasionally in-
terfcre with the health there is no
doubt, but those cases are rare. Bad,
unwholesome food, neglect and abuse
produces a deranged state of the di-
gestive organs, and as result i'll
health. which condition is favorable To
the development of worms. OF the
different species Of worms which are
occasionally met with in horses, there
are two kinds which are quite common,
namely: The lumbrici, which is about
ten inches long, pointed at each ex-
tremity, and is very similar to our
common earthworm. They are found
in the stomach and large intes-
tines, Treatment: Give spirits of
turpentine, half-ounce, beat up with
two or three eggs, every morning for
week, then give the following cathar-
tic; Linsced oil, one pint; powdered
aloes. six drachms; oil of male fern.
one drachm; sulphuric ether. two
ounces; mix for one dose.
The dose of the above medicine
should be regulated according to the
age, size and strength of the subject.
For colts under two years old we
should give, instead of the above, areca
nultin half-ounce doses morning and
evening for two or three days; this
should be followed up with full dose
of linseed or castor oil 2. The other
species are known Ms ascarides They
are from one to one and half inches
long, white and thread like. and are
invariably found in the rectum. The
proper way to eradicate this species is
by injections of common salt ard wa
ter. spirits of turpcntine and oil. or
solution of tobacco. Subsequently a
course of mineral and vegetable tonic
medicine, supplemented with good,
wholesome. nutritious food, will be
necessary to improve the geael al
health of the patient San Fra,.csscs

pied by Jas. L. Curtis, manufacturer OF
gloves and mittens; Barnetts ticket
office, and Bickford & Francis, leather
manufactory. There was strong wind
from the south, and the flames rushed
through the building with amazing ra-
pidity. A general alarm brought the Ore
department TO the scene, and herce
struggle for supremacy between
the flames and the fremen fol-
lowed. Famed by the gale the
flames spread to the frame building
on the west, No. 65, occupied by Julius X
Fleischman, ticket broker, and the upper
floor by the family of Henry Baum, con-
sisting of Baum, his wife and six chill.
dren, who were with difficulty rescued.
on the east, the fire took hold OF the Van-
dsrbilt building, a four story brick struc-
ture, containing the ticket offices OF the
Michigan Central road. The upper floors
were occupied by tenants, who all had
narrow escapes.
In half an hour after the fire was dis
covered, the two upper floors OF the Cur
tiss building fell, and five minutes later
the side wall went down, crashing through
the frame building on the west. The
Vanderbilt building also crumbled into
ruins.
The wind drove the flames In solid
sheet across the street TO the buildings on
the north side. On that side were the
Washington block, occupied by the
Express and Matthews & Northrup's i'm
mense printinr and lithographic works.
The VIII ANS building, adjoining on the
east, was four.story structure, devoted
to the manufac iure Of leather, except the
two upper floors, which were leased to
Einsfed & Emig, manufacturers OF
boots and shoes. The cornices of these
buildings caught, and 1t seemed for
n time as il there was no
saving the structure, but a fortunate
change in the wind enabled the flremen to
confine the flames TO the eastern part Of
Nos. 40 to 50. and to the Williams build
ing, which were gutted The east walls
Of the Williams building fell and part of
the front.
The total loss, as far as can be estab-
ished, will be about $3.50, 900. Bickford &

,nce Of $50, 600; the Curtis building was
valued at $50, 900; insured for $4,000. By
