Reciprocity.
There is a bottom.ess gulf
between Cleveland and the Sena-
tors of his party.
The Farmers Alliance of
Maryland is after Senator Cor
mans scalp.
MIR. Cleveland favors free
trade and free whiskey, but it
seems that he draw the line at free
silver.
Kyle, the Farmers AL
lance candidate, was elected to
the United States Senate from
South Dakota, Tuesday.
THAT cyclone cavorting
round in Alabama must have been
trying to make connection with
Jay Gould who was in the same
vicinity.
The 101 democrats in the
illinois legislature continue to
vote for Palmer. The last ballot
Wednesday evening gave Palmer,
l0l; Streeter, 90; Oglesby, IL;
Lindley, l. No election.
The reciprocity treaty with
Brazil goes into effect April l, of
the present year. 1t is estimated
that our exports to that country
will be thirty millions of dollars.
Last year they were less than six
millions of dollars. This Is practi-
cal craftsmanship.
Another letter from the
pen of W. Fl. Swift is published
In this issue of the GRAPHIC. The
letter published last week has
caused no little comment. The
one published this week is equal
ly as interesting. Both make
mighty good reading, Don't miss
them.
The financial condition ol
the country is improving every

not strange that conservative mer

adopted as a compromise.
There have been seventeen
bank failures in Kansas within
thirty days. The cause assigned
is the extreme and unreasonable
antagonism to capital manifested
In that state, which causes capital
lists to call in their money and re-
fuse to let it out again. The
bronchos in the Kansas Legislature
are likely to prove more disastrous
to the state than have the blight

-Henry Watterson's letter

South Florida is flat and cover
ed with small pine trees, scrub live
oak, with cabbage palmetto go to 10
feet high near the swamps. 1t is
a solid bed of white sand mixed
with decayed vegetation. The land
has to be heavily fertllized to
grow anything here. The orange
trees have to be fertilized every
year. In some places they can
raise from to l5 bushels of corn
to the acre.
South Florida is covered with
beautiful lakes in the central por-
ton, varying in size from l to 40
miles in width. Okechobee is the
largest. The water in the lakes is
clear and full of fish. The Black
Bass predominates. 1t is great
sport to catch them.

southeast of Fort Meade. [ went
for bear, but could not find them
as they hole up at this season of

and among other game killed a
deer, and panther which measured

Remarkable cures of Catarrh effected by the
use of Ayers Sarsaparila are conclusive
proofs that this lOathsOmc and dangerous
disease is one of the blood, needing only
this searching and powerful alternative to

The following will show the
weak point in the "drop-a-nlckel-
in-the-slot-machine," as we'll as
the ingenuity of the American
youth: IAN ingenious youth in
Iowa tied a thread to nickel,
dropped the nlckle in slot ma
chine, got what he wanted, then
withdrew the nickel by the thread,
repeating the operation until he
had made clean sweep of the re-
ceptacla's contents He was ar
rested on chargo OF theft, but
the Judge who tried him held that
he had committed neither bur-
glary, larceny nor robbery, nor eve n
obtained property under false
pretense. He had merely done
what the the inscription on the
machine told him to do-dropped
a nickle in the slot and had kept
on doing it. Nothing was SAID
about leaving the coin where it
was dropped. This decision will
probably ahate nuisance. ."-Ex.

Speaking of sidewalks the States
man expresses the following senti
ments: The failure to build proper
sidewalks makes place m object Of
ridiculc. The attempt to get along
without sidewalks is ridiculous and
prcposterous, and not the least alb
surd feature Of it is that the people
pnnics themselves while heaping dis
comfort and Inconvenience upon the
visitors. No place can expect to be
regf .dcd as modern that does not lay
walks upon which people can move
about dry shod, in fact people who
might settle there to.engsge in bust
ness are turned away, Not that a
business man is governed in his action
by the mere question Of sidewalk,
but in its absence and in the primeval
system Of recording time be sees 4
spirit that he hesitat<s about attaching
his fortunes to. If we are to progress
We must shake off the appearance OF
old fogyism and show in every possible
way that We are a wide-awakc, push
ing community.
