May "a, 1890.
The past week has been an unevent-

commerce is concerned. Speculation

been formed between the large job
Ding and importing houses and the

one-fourth of a cent on all sales to the

small amount it is about 1925 600 to
the consumer each month. This can
be saved to the different State Elk

Take string beans, for IN stance. The
commission man sells for IS to 5O
cent per bushel crate, which is less
than freight charges, yet the consumer
here in New York pays 10 to Is

from Sl25 to $3.50. So you see
the cost in distribution is far in eX

fact at present prices he receives moth

consumer, the laboring maa OF this
CITY, pay an enormous price. l ce'

the producer a fair return for his

sohRY EoR HIM.

The Morning News is troubled in its
mind again about Sussex county affairs.
That sensation did not 'pan out" to suit
the great expectations Of the Republican
machine who mistake political tricks,
personal Misrepresentation and various
sorts of petty frauds for genuine poll
tics.
The crowd Of machine workers in Sus-
sex are men of small mental calibre and
less character Their aims are low and
their methods are puerile when not
fraudulent.
1t is astonishing that Mr.. Sperry, Of
the Morning News, could have been led
by the nose into the silly little plot OF
those Bacons and their ilk to at
tempt to manufacture campaign cries
out of any material which that idealess
crowd Of political tramps in Sussex could
invent. It can only be explained by the
fact that the Republicans Of the opposi-
tion wing--the weak wing which doel
not tiop in harmony with the Higginl
wlng-are nervously laundering abou
to establish themselves as leaders.
In this state or mind, being ignored b
the Higgins crowd, they are so sensi
lively solicitous to do something tina
they are ready TO lend their aid to an
folly.which seems to offer them chanc
to be great men in the party.
Thus it happened that, after startin

1t is pity that Mr. Sperry did nj

Long Lived Tortoise.

At a recent reception at Lambeth palace,
the official residence of the archbishop Of
Canterbury, Professor Flower showed the
tortoise of Archbishop Laud, which he
brought from Fulham TO Lambeth when he
became archbishop, and which lived lS0
years, and during that time saw out eight
archbishops. 1t would have lived probably
many years longer but for the carelessness OF
the gardener, who dug it out Of its hole one
winter and did not find it another. Its shell
had been preserved, and was in the palace,
but from being much Knocked about had lost
some Of its parts Professor Flower got the
archbishop's permission to look it up, and
have the inscription, which was almost OBJ
liberated by time and iii usage, deciphered,
and have it placed under a glass case, with
its history properly engraved on silver
plate. The tortoise at Peterborough cathedral
was a still more wonderful one even than its
Lambeth brother for it was known to be
over lsO years old when it died, also from an
accident, and Bishop Jeune had its she'll pre-
served, with an inscription narrating its age
and history.-Once a Week.

He has not been disheartened by the
squelching OF the forgery boom he at

now booming the negro exodus. He says:
A new black State should be made out
Of the Indian Territory and Oklahoma.

dent Harrison to favor it. all the discon-
tented negroes in the southern States
can migrate to the new State and practi-
cally govern themselves. do not think
the white people Of the South will object
The Field Marshal is exploiting this
as a new solution OF the race problem.
He argues that it would give the negro
race chance to learn how Ito govern
themselves and be a place Of refuge for
them. Halstead and the politicians Of his
class claim that the negro race, in the
South, is ialready capable of governing
the white race. Now If they could only
learn to govern themselves, in addition,
they would be the most accomplished
people In the world From what ever
motives Halsteads advocacy springs,
whatever arguments he may use in favor
of his scheme, matters very little, Senators
Butler and Morgan will advocate any
sort Of exodus that will relieve the

neproanelng Power ol the I.lver.

A scientific fact Of great value, and one
which should bring comfort to legions Of that
large class of persons who are weary Of the
caprices Of an erratic or tardy liver, has late
ly been established Experiment has proved
that large portions Of theliver can be removed
without serious disturbance to the animal
functions of the human body. The explana-
ton of this curious fact seems to be that the
liver has a wonderful power of reproduction.
Ponfick found that, within a few days Of the
removal of portions Of the liver, the work of
its reproduction began, and that it proceeded
with great rapidity to completion. In GER
tain cases he found that within a period OF a
few weeks as much was reproduced as had
been removed and this amounted occasion
ally to twice as much as had been left be-
hind These Investigations have an interest
altogether outside Of that which is absolutely
scientific, because they cannot fail to inhu-
ence the development Of abdominal surgery,
if it is understood that large portions of the
liver may be removed without serious danger
to life. -Pittsburg Dispatch.
