AT THE RUINED CORAL STRUCTURE.
There is an old ruined coral structure on
Turnetie Cay, and Ward gave the Judge
minute directions how to find the treasure,
taking his measurements from this as n start
ing Vent art died before reaching nor, and was
buried ut sea.
80 impressed was Judge Davidson with
this story of old Ward that he took passage
MS soon rs possible for Panama, crossed the
lsthmus and went to Belize.
Turneife Cay is forty miles from the town
and he hired n bOatman to take him there.
There are no inhabitants OF the island,
which is n low bit of sand covered with CO.
coanut palms and other tropical vegetation.
There is n little settlement of negroes ON
CalahaSh Cay, 400 feet away. and with them
he STAYED while he conducted his operations
on Turneie Cay.
THERE WERE THE SKELETONS, SURE ENOUGH.
Following the directions given him by
the old sailor, he dug up the sand at the spot
indicated and exhumed two human skele-
tons.
He was unable to dig further because the
fact were III the water.
1t was evident that if these were the skele-
tons OF the two dead pirates placed there rs a
CHASTITY guard over the glittering gold,
quicksand of which the island is composed.
and that to recover it would require a littlO
engineering skill and appliances which the
Judge did not possess and which were not
there obtainable. He therefore carefully
concealed oil evidences of his work, and re-
l~uctantiy left the spot and the country and
returned to his home in Honolulu.
Happening to casually mention the story
of the treasure while in New York on bust
ness in the Autumn of 1887, this expedition
resulted"
ON THE TREASURE ISLAND.
After narrating the above Mr.. Horne re-
turned TO the main narrative.
We'll, / lett the Judge and myself on the
treasure island after having satisfied ourselves
that nothing had been disturbed.
I'VE found ut once that the removal of the
specie could not by any possibility be effected
secretly. 50 that the fitting out Of the Marin

LUMBUs and quite a list of men
of parts and enterprise have given
that century a reputation worth
a dozen of those previous. Civilization
took a new start when the potato came.
Picture what it would be now if the po-
tato were eliminated. There is nothing
TO take its place. What would have be-
come of ireland in its critical passages
had there been no potato? For several
centuries it has had no rival in its be-
nefcent and broadening sphere, and a
greater calamity could hardly fall upon
ChriStendOm than to lose the potato. 1t
has furnished the starch for a grander
civilization than the world ever knew
before its advent, and its distillation has
enlivened the heart and made merry
many mortuary seanee. That old monk
did a great work for the world and pos
terity. and yet there is probably not a
variety of potato now known that bears
his name. But he had no thought of
being a philanthropist-possibly only
thought of speculation, and has 10
large claim for gratitude.

TANNER, and said good deal more
than he wanted to get into print. He
was emphatic in his Endorsement of
TANNER, and characterized Secretary
NOBLE as an obscure nobody. only

But report was published, and the
governor at once gives an explanation

TANNER, and reminding the president
that he pledged himself not to use
apothecary's scales in weighing pension
claims, and insisting upon continual
ton of TANNERS policy. lie also re-

taking the stump for FORAKER. He
will not be apt to let that mouth do any
great amount of work for his beheaders.

:mnGE REA5s CHANCES.

Not only the old soldiers of this sec
ton, but the entire people of the North
west would be gratiied to see Judge
REA. of Minneapolis, receive the ap-
pointment of pension commissioner.
The resolution of Endorsement for
Warded by the st. Paul veterans to the
president Saturday night is an honest
expression of Northwestern sentiment
yet there are reasons to fear that this
substantial Endorsement will be of no
avail. There is little reason to doubt
that the president has committed him.
self to the Massachusetts man, and yet
not so decidedly but that his purpose
might be changed 50 as to give the ap-
pOintment to Judge REA in certain
contingency. Unfortunately, that con-
tingencY is not likely to occur, because
of the factional troubles among the
Minnesota Republicans. 1t is a
house divided against itself, with
the inevitable result of such a division.
In their fight for separate control of the
federal patronage, the two Minnesota
senators have already lost a splendid
opportunity to give Minnesota posi-
ton of influence under this adminiStra-
ton, with the probability that another,
and the best opportunity of all, is about
to slip by. The disagreed senators are
still further embarrassed by the fact
that the Minnesota member of the cab
met is jealous of both of them and anx-
i0us to thwart them in every movement
they attempt to make. More than that,
the Minnesota delegation in the lower
house of congress are all apart-eVery
fellow for himself, without regard to
who else can SWIM. 1t is this I'M
fortunate division among the Re
publican leaders in this state that
gives a hopeless aspect to Judge
REA's chance for appointment. If our
Minnesota congressman were agreed on
the matter of SpOilS. and would make
strong pull all together in supporter the
efforts of the old soldiers to have Judge
REA appointed pension commissioner,
there is very little reason to doubt its
accomplishment. But it is asking a
good deal of the president to ignore the
senators and the representatives from
this state in so important matter. Still,
if the president had the nerve and the
wisdom to do it. he could accomplish a
great thing for the country by over
looking the factiOnal fights of the Min
nesota delegation, and Immediately
inviting Judge REA to Washing
ton to take charge of the pen
sion bureau. Although of a differ
ent political faith, the GLOBE is not
afraid to risk Judge REA in any posi-
ton that requires administrative tact,
executive ability and pronounced hon
esty. He possesses all these qualities
in an eminent degree. He is friend
of the old soldiers, and yet we do not
believe that he would render any deciS-
| ions for buncombe.

SORGHUM SUGAR.

Secretary RUsK is visiting Kansas to
inspect the operation of the government
experiments in making sugar from sOr-
ghum cane. That is one OF his hobbies,
and he will evidently be slow 70 see any
doubtful features. He hopes to sig
naliZe his administration of the depart
ment by the establishment of great
sugar industry, one that will result in
the production of enough sugar for
home consumption without importation.
1t is an attainment greatly to be de-
sired, but there would be more hopeful
ness if the effort were directed to the de-
velopment of the sugar beet, as this has
been made so great success in Europe.
The sorghum plant cannot be grown
to any advantage where there is
danger of early frost. Some $1,000
acres of sorghum have been grown
in Kansas this year. and the secretary
has the theory that on two square miles
of land 100000 pounds of sugar can be
extracted by new process being tested,
and the cost brought down to the cheer
full figures of three cents per pound. 1t
is hoped that this will prove more than
a theory The experiment there last
year cost the government $4,000, and
the information in regard to the results
is quite contradictory. 1t is asserted to
be most promising success by some,
and others assert that it is failure and
waste of money. 1t is expected that the
secretary will give the matter thorough
personal inspection, and it is to be
hoped that if the results are unfavor-
able he will try what can be effected
with the beet.
