EX SPEAKER Tom Reed takes no pains
to conceal his contempt for the recipro-
city humbug. In recent interview he
declared that reciprocity arguments
are "attcmpts To carry on commerce by
diplomacy" and that "the commercial
world can only do business on great COM
mercisl principles, not on correspondence
between state departments" There is good
deal of truth in this, and it not only makes
war against Blaine's reciprocity scheme.
but also against McKinley's Chinese wall
policy. The fact that it was msnifestly
inspired by jealousy and hatred of Mr.
Blaine in no wise detracts from it's force.
However, it has moved the Globe DEM
ocrat to indignation, and that rabid ex.
ponent of Blaineism declares that Reeds
''sneering reference TO a scheme which is
converted into law by a measure which
he himself su pported is an imputation on
his party loyalty, and the ignorance
which it displays is reflection upon
his knowledge and resources as q states
man"

Those persistent perennials, quack
grass and Canada thistle, can usually, on
land not too rocky or not set with trees,
be got rid of in a single season, says
American Cultivator. Continual plow-
ing, SO that no green thing appears above
the surface, makes an end of them, and
all the more quickly if the soil be rich
and the growth vigorous. To partly kill
patch Of either quack or thistles cannot
be much advantage, for whenever the
ground is cultivated again they soon be-
come worse than ever. Many farmer
thinks he has entirely cleared his land Of
these pests, only to find after a year or
two that his work has all to be done over
again.

A Pretty Dish.

The following is very pretty dish for a
company tea: First make good lemon jelly
in the usual way. If you have no tried
recipe, the directions on the package of
gelatine can be followed. Into some pretty
little teacups put few fine large straw
berries. Turn the jelly over these while
it is still just warm enough to dose. When
you wish to serve the jelly, invert each in
dividual mold into sauceplate, and around
the base of the jelly pour little rich sirup
made with fresh strawberry juice and
sugar. Keep as cold as possible till served.

A Good Clover Catch.

Heard's Dairyman tells of a method
employed by Wisconsin farmer on very
sandy land during several years of drouth
and whereby he has never failed of a
good catch of clover. He first soaks his
seed for two days, then takes it to th
barn floor, and for every bushel of seed
he mixes with it a bushel of land plaster
by shoveling the two together until each
seed is coated with shell of plaster.
The plaster seems to retain the moisture
in the seed until it gets firm roofing. and
his marked success gives evidence Of
merit in the plan.

Attention has recently been called 10
the failure of large manufacturer of
wool hats. At the time of this failure,
it was stated that the high duty on wool
and other materials was the main cause
of it. The effect of the tariff on the
wool hat industry may be seen from the;
statement that it now costs under the
Mckinley law $5.52i to manufacture

There are so many beautiful willow rock

that one can easily select a varied and
satisfactory assortment. Bamboo is now
wrought into tables, desks, bookracks,

Among the novelties in screens are those
of green glass for fireplaces, painted with
yellow daffodils, chrysanthemums or mi
mosa. Other screens in green velvet are
decorated with quaint Indian designs
painted in yellow, with draperies of soft
yellow silk as trimmings.

tho order of $50. Tie conyfr,tion
was called to order by the chair
man and Immediately went to
work A committee was appointed
on a platform. which was presented
to the convention in the afternoon,
read section by section, and adopt.
ed as their principles. 1t embraced
about all the former declaration of
principles adopted at the quarterly
meeting in April, 1891, with the
additional sections:
10, And we also demand of our
council measures of such charac-
ter as will justly and legally settle
the citizenship question in the
Cherokee nation, especially Of
those claimants who were here
prior to 1886.
II. That we demand that next
council pass such laws as will make
it impossible and impractical to
monopolize the public domain and
eslcp Tho universal leasing Of all
our lands east and west Of 96o.
y. And that we further demand
of the next council such legislation
as will abolish the wholesale brib.
cry and debauchery Of our cleo
tions, and thereby make it possible
for honest and pure men 70 obtain
Office
13. Lastly and in conclusion, in
view Of the enormous extravaganza
and corruption Of the present adj
ministration, and the enactment OF
class legislation by our council and
senate, approved by our chief, we
see no security in perpetuating our
present form OF government except
by alloting our lands in severalty,
and retaining our present tribal or
ganization. Therefore we pledg
ourselves to support no candidates
who will not pie dge Themselves to
carry out these demands

WHAT poFs "a Mean ?

There is one thing in connec-
ton with the Liberal party move
malt that we do not quite under
stand At the Bluejacket meet
ing and throughout the upper dis
triots Mr. Bushyhead and his fol-
lowers have advocated allotment /;
that has been the keyn note Of The
campaign thus far and it has,
without doubt, brought strength
to their cause Men that have al
ways opposed Mr. Bushyhead are
now for him. solely on account Of
bis advanced position on the al
lotment question But what puz-
zles us is that their party organ,
the Telephone, is saying very
little about that vital question and
indeed their platform and Mr.
Bushyhead's letter Of acceptance
could be construed almost any way.
Is it possible that they are afraid
of the issue in other parts of the
country? Now an allotment side
show for The upper districts is not
what we are advocating We take
no such narrow views Of the ques-
tiou as thoi, but believe that in it
lies lhe only remedy for most Of
the evils we arc suffering, and that

alike
