The decided Blaine color of the
convention of republican clubs at Gin.
cinnati suggests a decided green tinge
to the thoughts of Uncle John Sherman.
Chicago Times.
If President Harrison really
wants to learn who is the republican
favorite he should propose three cheers
for James G. Blaine at the close of one
Of his rear-platform speeches. But, OF
course, the little man never mentions
the jingo man.-Sioux City Tribune.
The boys who cheered for "Cieve.
land and democracy" while Mr.. Har.
rison was in Texarkana were better
fed than bred. Texas is anxious to be
polite to it's presidential guest, and it is
no more courteous to mention Cleveland
and democracy in his presence than it
is to throw holy water on another emf
nent republican.-St. Louis Republic.
Republicans express with delight
the opinion that the spring elections in.
dicate that republicanism is reviving.
Do the republicans realize the condi.
ton of affairs when they clutch at the
returns of town election to assure
themselves that ''the grand old party OF
patriotism, purity" ETC., ad nauseam, is
reviving il the north?-Chicago Times.
Secretary Foster, confronted with
the empty treasury, which Reeds reck.
less congress depleted is scheming hard
to make both ends meet when 3,00O,.
900 AZ per cent. bonds fall due in Sep.
tember. So far he is basing his plans
upon the idea that the holders of the
bonds shall keep them at a lower rate
of interest, per cent.-Louisville
Courier j ournal.
At every point in his journey
throughout the south President Har-
rison has been received with warmth
of welcome that ought in some degree
to thaw the ice out of him. His recep.
ton has been as sincere as it was
gracious and should convince him that
the people of the south are as devoted
to the republic as the people of any
other section of the country. He should
be now convinced of the unwisdom of
any attempt to chain down the grow.
ing and prosperous south or to check
its development with any such meas.
ures as the force bill. There is for the
president in his southern trip an op.
portunity to broaden and elevate him.

MIR. Blaine's friends are much
amused at the manner in which Mr..
Harrison in his peram bulatory ad-
dresses from the rear platform of his
palace car and on other occasions,
takes care to claim credit for himself
in connection with the reciprocity
movements of this administration
They also point out. with many shrugs
of their shoulders, the somewhat sig
nificant fact that in all his addresses
the president has not once had the gen.
erosity, justice or temerity, according
as one views it, to mention the name Of

Blaine's friends draw is that little

COVERING THEIR TRACKS.
a Palpable Fraud Contemplated by Sec.
retary Foster.

a Palpable Fraud Contemplated by Sec
| retary Foster.
Reports from Washington and the re-
cent visit Of Secretary Foster to New
! York point to state of affairs in the
| treasury that causes some solicitude to
| the department officers. 1t is an easy
matter for the president to laud the
generosity of congress in his southern
speeches, but further north. at Wash
ington, the presidents subordinates
are finding it hard to make both ends
meet. The billion dollar congress has
begun to strain the treasury's resources.
1t is frankly conceded that in Sep
tember the government will be unable
to meet it's debts. In that month fifty
two million dollars of four and half
per cent. bonds will become due and
the treasury will not have enough
money to pay them. Secretary Foster,
accordingly. proposes to take the law
into his own hands, override congress
and devise a temporary malSeshift to
conceal the deficit OF the ffty-two
million dollar bonds which come due
in September abont One-half are held
as the basis for national bank note
circulation. The banks are willing to
keep these bonds even after they are
due, provided the government will
allow even a small rate of interest.
Without the shadow even of warrant
of law Secretary Foster proposes to ex-
tend these bonds tor number of years,
reducing the interest to two per cent.
While the scheme may have merit as
financial device, it is palpablc fraud
on the people. First, it will deceive
them as to the actual state of their
treasury. The people are entitled to
know what money congress has voted
into and out of the treasury. Secretary
Fosters financiering covers up that
knowledge. Second, it is an unlawful
exercise of power by the secretary of
the treasury. BY what warrant does
he assume, independent of congress, to
refund one dollar of the public debt?
What right has he to stop payments for
the sinking fund, as it is announced
that he proposes to do? Measures to
accomplish both Of these purposes were
before the late congress, and every in
telligent democratic newspaper then
pointed out that they were made neces-
sary by the extravaganza of congress
itself. The republican majority failed
to pass those measures, they ran away
from Washington without making the
usual statement of the total appropria-
tions, and the republican party now
calls on the secretary of the treasury,
in violation of law, to cover up and con-
ceal the havoc wrought by congress.
the republican party will go into the
next campaign with deficit in the
treasury staring it in the face.-AlbanY

Faith and Hope are twin sisters and

be mistaken for one another, because
between them there is this clear differ

TEE ODD CoQUINA ROCK.
A Peculiar Conglomerate Composed
Almost Entirely of Shell Is.

A peculiar Conglomerate Composed
Almost Entirely of Shell Is.
From Natures Realm.
In many instances these shells are in q
nearly perfect condition, but generally the
conglomeration is mass of disintegrated
substances; sand, gravel and crushed shells,
held together by natures cement of the
long ago, and which Is not now manufact-
ured. In many parts of Florida this rock is
to be found plentifully about the coast, and.
to an extent, inland. TIE building of the
early settlements were composed of the
coquina, and about st. Augustine many
still remain as evidence of Spanish enter
prise. Old Fort Marion, which was begun
as early as 1868, is a massive structure, made
entirely Of this rock.
At Eau Gallie, ON Indian river a condi-
ton exists which has not as yet been satis-
factorily explained. The bottom near the
shore is Of coquina rock, and for long dis
tance perforations may be seen beneath the
surface Of the water, and at times the
water forms in little eddies over these min
nature wells. They vary in diameter from
6 TO Is inches, and extend down quite dis.
lance.
Much speculation has resulted from the
findings Of these Singular shafts, but the
most reasonable theory Is that they are
places left vacant by decomposed palmettos
which were once growing on dry ground.
The land sunk and was finally enorosched
upon by the sea; in due time the taad,
gravel and disintegrated shell substance
was borne in by the action of the waves
filing the space between the trees, aud to Q
depth differing in various localities 1t il
well known that the cabbage palmetto is
very serviceable used as pile, being EN-.
ployed almost universally for that purpose
| IN Florida, az it will Withstand salt water
action for long time.
After a certain time nature completed the
work of qualification by means of her
cement, and at last the decomposed trunks
were entirely removed by the action of the
waves, thus giving the singular appearance
Of these cylindrical spaces
That this theory is correct seems more
| probable from the fact that, in some Sec
| tions, evidently formed by the action Of
| nature, the same holes are observed above
the water line as are seen beneath the sur
face. The coast of the state has had several
upbeavas and subsidences, and some scient.
lists have demonstrated as many as five.
