They Are Certified To BY Judge
Shepard, of Chicago.
The following letter concerning the
character and attachments of the new
Chief Justice, written by Judge Henry
NJ. Shepard, of the Superior Court of
Cook county, ILL.,, fully justifies the
confidence which President Cleveland
has earned, as regards his filling
the offices of executive appointment
and control with men of unquestioned
capability and honesty:
SUPERIOR CoUET OF Cook COUNTY ILLl
CHICAGO. May 5. 1888 !
To E. H. Perkins. Esq. New York:
MY DEAR SIR-I do not know that
you need my assurance beyond what
the press has given in relation TO the
character and capacity of Mr.. Fuller,
who has been named by the President
for the exalted position of Chief Jus
tice, but am aware that men having
great interests at stake are always SO.
licitous about everything affecting the
national faith and integrity, and it
may not be uninteresting to you to be
further assured concerning him.
My acquaintance with him extends
over more than twenty seven years,
and ever since 1864, when l became
his law partner, / have known him
more intimately than have any other
living man. In all his personal rela
tions he is, the embodiment of honor
and integrity, and professionally he is
as able as any man at this bar. and he
is well fitted by temperament fer the
Judicial office. I have no Gou t that
in learning he is fully equei TO any
member of the Supreme Bcnea, aud
that he will sustain himself with great
credit. He is as astcourageous i'll his
convictions as he is able io the asser-
| ton of them, and nn all Government.
| tai questions he is certain to be wise
and prudent and TO have full regard
| for the traditions and precedents Oi
the law as laid down by the great court
over which he has been called to pre-
side.
There is nothing rash, experimental
or sensational in him. Although his
abilities and versatilities might almost
stamp him as a genius, he is without
the eccentricities often accompanying
such gifts. Both the Government and
the people will have in him q careful
| painstaking, learned and fearless man
at the helm. Here at home there Ii
no exception to the unanimous expires
sion OF confidence in him
| Yours, HENRY M. SHEPARD.

ton. Harmony and enthusiasm pre-
vail. Nothing but Endorsement of
Cleveland and his Administration is
heard, and the only strife will be as to
who shall have the honor of voicing
the sentiments and confidence of the
Democracy of Ohio, as delegates to the
st. Louis convention, at which the
next President of the Republic will
be named in the person of Grover
Cleveland. That the work of the con-
vention will be well done, is manifest,
and it needs no gift of prophecy to
foretell the issue in the battle, vital in
its results to the harmony and frater.
nal fellowship essential to the coptin-
ued perpetuity in strength and mate
r.al development of the country, SO
alspiciously inaugurated by the party
which is concerned in National rather
than sectional interests aud welfare.
THE State Grangers of Nebraska,
Indiana, Illinois and Pennsylvania
have sent to Congress strong petitions
asking for a removal of the tariff on
iron, lumber, salt, sugar, wool and
wooden goods. In one of these petit
tions it is stated that in the six years
from 1880 to 1885, eighty.seven of the
richest agricultural districts in Illinois
suffered an actual loss of population
and $50, 100000 ON their corn crops,
showing that the farmers not only
made nothing in this period, but lost
their work. 1t is further stated that
farms are fast passing under mortgage
and their nominal owners being re-
duced to the condition of the Irish
tenantry-a condition which grows
out of the policy of compelling lands
men to pay protection duties for thu
enrichment of manufacturers. It i!
unjust, they say, to force farmers tt
sell their crops in open market il
competition with similar crops raiseG
by cheap labor in other parts of tn
world, while manufacturers are pro
tected from competition by protective
duties of 25 to 100 per cent.

Wool.

A circular is being sent out, signed
by many of the leading wool dealers
in this section, to which is appended
the following bill, In which they give
notice that any one discovered prac

are discovered, we will hold them
strictly responsible under the law"

our farmers, and not one farmer in a
hundred knows that he is taxed upon
his clothing at all. Don Piatt. who is
farmer in Logan Co. O., tells us
that every thing the farmer buys,
from the cradle he is rocked In to the
coffin he rous in, is augmented to twice
it's value by this Tariff Mr.. Piatt
was asked by the farmers to give them
his opinion about u tariff on wool. He
told them, if he had freedom to buy in
the cheapest market and if govern
ment would see to it that he was
charged a reasonable rate upon ouI
public highways called railways, he
would undersell any man on the globe
with wool. Farmers make a grave
mistake when they clamor for q. tariff
on wool, and no good government will
pay any attention to their din. What
right have they to tariff on wool, il
it is to make the price of clothing
higher for the farmer who grows
wheat? Free trade is what is required
to get better price for wool. Free
trade would put stop to shoddy. ]
have been told that for every pound OF
wool made into clothing in America
three pounds of shoddy is used for the
same purpose. Judge Black tells us
that America is the only nation that
makes shoddy into cloth, and that
enough shoddy is not to be got in
America to supply the demand. Shod.
dy is therefore imported, and pays no
tariff What the farmer requires is a
tariff on shoddy, rather than wool, if
he wants to get higher price. To a
tariff on shoddy I do not object. I
hold that making shoddy into cloth
and sinking grease into butter should
be made criminal offences.
Is q tariff on iron and steel rails q
benefit to our farmers ? If high priced
iron is good for America SO would high
priced wheat be, In it just aud right

AMERICAN CULTURE.
fhe Ripening of Literary Tastes In tho
United States.

fhe Ripening of Literary Tastes in tho
United states.
There was II time when all Americans
looked habitually to London as the
crime source If all higher training.
That time is long passed; a generation
OF Americans have now leal ned their
scientific methods in Germany, their
art criticism in France While America
has changed. England has also changed.
The reverence givcn the London of
Coleridge and Mact.siay, of Darwin
and Carlyle, can hardly be claimed for
the London which takes seriously such
literary representatives as Rider Hag-
gard and Oscar Wilde. 1t is sixty
years ago since Heinrich Heine-surelv
no Puritanic observer-pointed out
That the English were already seeking
to be light and frivolous, and endeavo or
ing to creep into the monkeys skin
which the French were gradually
stripping or" 1t is impossible for us
to revert to the old colonial tradition
of English dependence, and equally
impossible to revert TO the still earlier
attitude OF the noble savage. Happily

foundations of American literary train
ing already date back two hundred and
nifty years, without including our
common share in all the English
literature which pl coded that period.
The real foundations are broader than
English litcraturs, broader even than
the ocean, the forests and the prairies;
for they are as broad as tho soul of
man. As FOR books. the invention of
printing has given to literature this
enormous advantage over plastic art.
That you may easily carry with you in

models of the skill YOU seek. When
John Harvard endowed the first
American college, in 1888 he placed in
its library, not theological books alone
---as we are apt to assume-but Homer
and Horace, Epictetus and Isocrates,
Juvenal and oliny; books to have read
which is. for purposes literary,

of all cosmopolitan culture having
been thus long accessible to Ameri-

ceeoa-Nut culture in Florida.

II Is probable that the cultivation of
the coeoa-nut for profit viii always. in
Florida, be confined TO the region on
the Keys and mainland south of tn.
Caloosahatohie river, though the palm
will continue to be grown for its great
beauty, or chance crop of nuts, in
protected spots, even as far north as
the latitude OF Tampa and Cape Canav-
eral. Tho cocoa-nuts produced In
Florida are u tribe smaller than those
OF the tropics, aud are not CONSIDERED
so valuable for seed, hence most of
those used for planting are procured
from Central America, more especially
from the Bay Islands (Utilla Banaco
and Bnatan) and mainland OF Hon
duras. The nuts that have not sprouted
on the voyage are sometimes planted
In nursery beds and transplanted when
a year or eighteen months old. Only
small per cent. fails TO germinate.
though sometimes the sprouts are a
year or more in appearing. The dis
lance apart at which they are planted
varies from fifteen TO twenty-five feet;
twenty feet liz the usual distance. The
only cultivation given on the Keys is
the occasional cutting ofthe weeds and
underground in the spring and fall
There is popular saying that bear
ing cocoa palm will produce one nut
for each day throughout the year. but
this is little overdrawn, the best
trees producing about two hundred
nuts per year. -Amerisdn AgricUitirist.

The Value of Apples,

Speaking of apples, Prof Faraday
says: There is scarcely any article of
vegetable food more widely useful and
more universally liked than the apple.
Let every family in autumn lay in from
two to ten or more barrels. and il will
be to them the most economical invest
ment in the whole range of culinary
supplies. raw, mellow apple is di-
gested i'll an hour and a half while
boiled cabbage requires five hours. The
most healthful dessert that can he
placed on the table is baked apples. If
taken freely at breakfast, with coarse
bread, and without meat or flesh of ANY
kind. it has an admirable effect on the
general system, often removing consti.

In putting up pears, ounces, cit
rons, cherries. ETC.. many housekeepers
prefer to boil them until tender, as they
will harden if put directly into very
rich sirup. When tender the fruit
should be carefully transferred to a
platter. and the water or sirup it was
boiled in used, with the remainder of
the sugar and enough more water to
maintain the proper proportion, to
make the richer sirup. When the strip
is quite clear the fruit can be added
and boiled slowly a shorter or longer
time. according to the variety.
