MAKING AN ISSUE.

There is an evident purpose on the part
Of the Democrats TO make political capital
out of the refusal of the Republican House
to pass a free coinage bill. a record Of the
ayes and noes will show that a large ma
iority of the Democratic members voted to
concur in the Senate free-eoinage amend
ment This record will be used to convince
the voters that the Democratic party is the
real friend of silver. THE CALL has al
ready explained the evident motive of the
Democrats in voting for free coinage.
They thought if they succeeded in passing
the bill it would probably encounter a
Presidential veto. They could then appeal
to the country on the issues thus created.
The Democratic party would be represented
as the friend of silver and the Republican
as its enemy. The fact that dnring the four
years of Mr. Cleyeland's administration
the Republicans had hard work to prevent
the suspension of the Coinage Act, which
requires the coinage of at least 100000
worth OF silver each month, would not be
dwelt upon. The other fact, that either
Mr.. Cleveland, Mr.. Hill or MI Whitney,
al New \ ok gold men, is pretty certain to
be the next Democratic candidate for the
Presidency, will not be considered good
Democratic campaign material. The real
friends Of silver may be classed under two
beads-the fTee-cOinage men and the adYo-
Gates Of an increased coinage, which will
restore silver to it's old relation to gold.
The CALL has explained the inevitable
Consequence of free coinage while silver is
at a discount. Silver will be the money Of
trade, but gold the money in which future
obligations must be met. If any man
has bought homestead OF lot on which he
intends to make homestead on partial credit
he will find by looking at his contract that
he has agreed to make all future payments
in gold. There are practically no excep-
lions to this rule. All notes and promises
to pay Of any kind or description specify
gold as the medium of payment. The effect
of this agreement will be that the parties
who have signed these evidences of in
debtedHess will have to buy gold to make
payments with. Wages will bo paid in
silver, and it would be hard on the wage
worker to have to pay 20 per cent, more or
- less, for all the gold needed to keep his
promises. Money-lenders who have issued
these gold contracts would profit by free
coinage, but the debtor class would be
losers. If. however, the Republican policy
of restoring silver to its old ratio TO gold as
preliminary to free coinage prevails there
will be no loss on either debtor or creditor
side

THE NEW YORK MOVEMENT.

Leading New York journals are deyoting
a good deal of space to the non-partisan
movement recently inaugnrated in that city.
The conviction is general in political circles
that it will not amount to much, but the
politicians, nevertheless, keep a wary eye
upon il. An objection is made in some
quarters that there are too many eleIgymen
in IT. Clergymen. it is urged, are not practi-
cal in their methods and are too much accus-
toned to having things their own way in
church matters to be good fighters. 1t will
be admitted. however, thai in the manage
ment of their own business affairs the aver
age. clergyman is not deficient in ability.
What movement of this nature most wants
is character. 1t must inspire the mass of
voters with confidence in its integrity of

purpose. This done, it will not be neces-
sary to beat the bosses at their own game.
With a ticket in the field which inspires
confidence the main business will be to see
that there is fair vote and fair count.
There are enough voters in any city who
prefer an honest and economical municipal
government to corrupt and eXtravagant
one to vote down the cliques that find pro-
fit in such practices as have made the New
York movement necessary.

A BETTER WAY.

The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette says
that the evils to which the modern system

thought that the country might be the bet

come under the head of heroic treatment,
but the patient is not yet low enough to war

than the ordinary variety grown out of
doors in summer. They are not able to
stand strong sunshine, and wind soon
mars the beauty of the leaf. They must
be kept in the house, or some sheltered
place. For outdoor culture they are
worthless. The bulbs are small A six
or eight-inch pot is quite large enough
for most specimens, as they do not have
many roots. They delight in soil or turf
chopped fine and mixed with leaf-mold
and sand. They must have good drain
age. If that is given, there is but little
danger OF overwhelming them, but unless
it is provided, they decay quite easily.
Care must be taken to shower them daily,
as the red spider attacks them in dry
air and soon Injuries them SO much that
the foliage turns yellow and drops. Asa
bulb does not produce a great many
leaves, it is quite an object to retain all
that are produced as long as possible
In fall when the foliage ripens and dies
away, the bulbs can be taken out of the
soil, wrapped in paper, and stored away
in some dry, warm place till March or
April, when they should be potted and
started into growth.
They are extremely effective plants to
use as table ornaments. Few are more
suitable for this purpose. A group of
them, with ferns or other similar nlants
to hide the pots containing them, will
make magnificent decoration for the
center of a table, especially if arranged in
q pyramidalform.

Solutions for Plants.

The following suggestions from Robert
j. Halliday, Baltimore's leading florist,
are worthy of consideration by amateur
plant-growers:
Lime water.-To quarter peck of un-
Stacked lime add twenty gallons of water
or in this proportion. 1t will be ready
for use in ten hours, or as soon thereafter
as it becomes clear; be careful MOTTO dis
turb the lime at the bottom OF the barrel;
it is the water that is needed and not the
'whitewash. Water with it occasionally;
also syringe with Or dip plants in it
often.
Tobacco water.-Get three pounds of
tobacco stems, put them into afour bar
rel of water, and it will be ready for use
in ten hours. Syringe or dipyour plants
in this solution to kill green fly. etc., or
you can secure from most seedsmen to-
bacco soap, which will answer the same
purpose as stems.
Whale-oil soap.-This is intended for
mealy bug, scale, etc., and must be used
with caution. Six ounces of soap to five
gallons of water; full directions are with
each package.
Camphor will kill ants and not injure
your plants; take camphor the size of
peanut and dissolve it in one quart OF
hot water.

Venus Fly Trap.

In Golden Gate Park may beseen some
very fine specimens of Dionea muscipula
Venus Fly Trap. These plants are ma
tives of the North Carolina swamps, and
are easily grown in damp sphagnum moss.
Darwin and other writer's claim that
these flowers not only catch but devour
insects. The first claim is easily substan-
tiated, but the latter is at least doubtful.
After careful experiments, continued thir-
ty days, the writer has been unable to
detect either by weight or microscope
anything that would justify the theory
that the plants derive any benefit from
the death OF their captives. On the other
hand, they seem rather to suffer from a
sort of nervous exhaustion" when liv-
ing insects too soon replaced those
which had died.
Aside from all ingenious theories, the
plant is of extreme interest, owing to the
irritability displayed by the stipulary
fringes on the winged leaves. The la
nina of the leaf itself is divided by the
midrib into two nearly semicircular
halves, each of which is fringed with stiff
hairs This leaf somewhat resembles a
miniature rat trap. When one Of the
halves is touched by an insect. the two
divisions are brought together with
a quick spring imprisoning the intruder.
He is closely held till death relieves his
sufferings, when the leaf, no longer being
irritated by it's movements, slowly opens
of it's own accord. The plants grow to
height of two and one-half to three inches,
and the leaves all spring from a common
base-Pacifc Rural Press.

AN EMBLEM FLOWER.

It's meet nations symbol be
One OF Gods fragrant flowers;
They catch the sunlight of His SMILE
And drink His crystal showers.
They bloom in lowly glade and glen,
And on the mountain heights,
And in their prismed petals hold
The rainbow's radiant lights.
The lily tells of sunny France,
Cornaower Of Fatherland;"
The thistle and the heather-bells
For Scotland's glory stand;
While England claims the royal rose,
And wears it on her shield,
And shamrOcks. green as emerald,
Fair Erin's meadows yield.
That makes our landscapes gay,
A blossom bright to name us in
The nations great bouquet.
And seek it not mid close-cut rows
OF fragrant dollhouse flowers,
But be its tender tintings known
In mead and rustic bowers
A flower there is that blooms for all,
For rich man and fOrNpoor,
Upon the Western prairie wastes
And on the Northern moor.
Like Gheber true it greets the sun
Where all the East is red,
And DER the Southern cotton-f1elds
1t shakes it's golden head.
Then be our symbol rich and rare,
This flower so blessed of Heaven,
And let our sweetest songs and thoughts
HencefOrth to it be given.

1t lies like sunshine in the land,
And seems with sunshine blest!
The fairest land on earth is ours,

An echo in our halls.
We brook no despot's iron heel.
No laws save those of God;
Then over us let freedom wave
Her wand of golden rod.

Fancy Caladiums.

These gorgeous foliage plants are
perfectly adapted to this State, and for
growing in tubs or large pots on the
verandah, or in any partially shaded To-
cation, are most admirable. The bulbs
of several distinct varieties, planted in
one pot or tub will produce q gorgeous
display calculated to arrest the atten-
ton of the least observant. The conn
mon green-leaved. caladium fourishes-
anywhere in the open ground, and in
moist and rich locations attains a great
size. The following is from the Ladies'
Home Journal:
A correspondent asks about these
plants and wants the difference between
them and the common caladium used in
tropical gardening explained.
The ordinary caladium-C. esculentum
has gigantic foliage. 1t is often three
or four feet long and foot and half
across, thrown up on stout leaf stalk,
several leaves being produced from the
crown of the plant. 1t is not particular
ly beautiful, but on account of it's mas
siveness, it is extremely useful inproduc-
ing tropicaleffects, especially when mixed
with cannas and similar plants having a
fine, large foliage.
The fancy caladiums are most delicate
in habit ofgrowth. In fact, none of them
have very large foliage, but it is wonder
fully beautiful. Some are green, veined
with purest white, giving alace-like effect
as the veins cross and recross each other.
Others have pink veinings, while some
have blotches Of pink or crimson scatter
ed irregularly over the leaf, looking ex-
actly as if some one had splashed paint
over them. In some, pink, white, pale
yellow and pure green are curiously
mingled in veinings, blotchings and
splashes. The effect of group of them,
when we'll grown, is exquisite, and We
have few more effective plants for sum-
mer use. No conservatory orgreen house
should be without them. They take the
place of flowers.
In every way they are more delicate
