Curiosities OF Canned Fruits.


A correspondents has submitted to US for
examination a living creature which he
states was obtained from the inside Of a
timed pineapple. Tie fruit had been
boiled at Singapore previously to timing it.
and was then imported TO this country. On
the tn being opened our correspondent was
somewhat surprised to find living insect
of strange and unknown appearance, in
habitlng the inside OF the pineapple. On
examining the insect we found il TO be the
laTya Of some beetle, the species of which
could not be accurately ascertaiued. conse-
quently IL was impossible to say with cer-
tainty whether its natural food was yege-
table or animal material IL Is quite
possible. however, that the statement Of cur
correspondent regarding the cooking Of the
pineapple may be correct, for the fruit
might have been imperfectly or incom-
pletely cooked. In that case the tempera-
ture Of the interior mightnever have reached
so high degree as 70 cause coagulation of
the living tissues or Of the structure of the
egg or larya. The power OF many insects
and mites 10 resist both high temperatures
and the action Of many poisons is well known
and exceedingly remarkable.

WILL HELP THE REPUBLICANS.

The fact that times are reasonably good
all over the country will make a difference
In favor of the Republicans Of thousands
of votes in the close States. Prudent busi-
ness men do not want change in policy
when the one in force is working we'll.
The fact that the Mckinley tariff has
stimulated manufacturing industries in the
Eastern States is indisputable. The free
trade papers have testified TO results II they
have refrained from attributing effects to
the right source. When managing politi-
clans canvass a distrust on the eve Of elec-
tion they find large percentage of the
voters who cannot be placed. The rule is
to give each party one-half, with reasona-
bic allowances for third or fourth parties
This rule is fair, but it does not always
produce accurate results. In most elee-
tions the silent vote goes largely one way.
1t is controlled rather by conditions than
by fixed ideas Of policy. When times are
good it sides with the existing administra-
ton; when times are bad it rolls over to the
opposition. This year times are good.
The actual conditions and the outlook were
never better. There is no demand for a
change. Probably four-ffths of the vote
that in estimates is divided evenly between
the two parties viii be recorded for Har-

realize that ii is directed against system
which has enabled the Southern Pacific
Company to control State and city politics

time in seeming control For many years
the Southern Pacific Company so pulled the
strings that it was as potent IN the conven-
tion of one party as Of the other.

AGAINST INDUSTRIAL PROSPERITY

Free trade has never done anything for
this country. 1t has been tried two or three
times and turned out TO be a failure. La
bouchere, one of the ablest political writers
of England, recently declared that were he
an American he would favor protection,
because it bad done vastly more for tine
United States than free trade had done for
England.
But to-day every free-trader in England
and every free-trader in the Democratic
party are practically leagued for the break
ing down of American industries. They
all seek the abolition of protection. Every
British free-trader is interested in the elec-
tIon to-day. Every English newspaper
that has any influence has expressed its
hostility to the system of protected indus
tries In the United States. 1t was so four
years ago; it is so to-day. Then and now
the British free-traders contributed money
to help along the party that had pronounced
against protection in the United States. q
vote for Cleveland to-day is vote for free
trade. A vote for Harrison is a vote In
favor Of the prosperity and enlargement Of
all the industries on which millions in this
country depend fer support. These toilers.
who are creating homes for themselves, are
asked to take the British side of the ques-

NOT A HIGH STANDARD.

Mr.. II. c. Dibble says the work of the
last session of the Legislature was ''of the
highest order Of efficiency and merit. The
laws passed were as rule useful and wise !;
the finances were extricated from confusion
and brought to an economical basis" This
estimate Of the work Of the last session of
the Legislature does not inspire much con-
fidence in Mr. Dibble's judgment. When
there was danger that the proceedings of
the Senatorial combine would be exposed
the power of the Southern Pacific Company
was appealed to to suppress the investiga-
ton. Why this anxiety to cover up work that
was as a rule of the highest order of
efficiency and merir"?

SENATE AMENDaNNr NO. IL.

The Kelly Crimmins morning organ ad-
vocates the constitutional amendment
which makes the Lieutenant Governor an
inspector of State Institutions, including all
which are supported in part or entirely by
the State. While competent inspector of
State institutions might be useful official,
the conditions under which Lieutenant
Governors are nominated do not hold out
much hope that competent Official would
be secured In that way. Generally there
are two wings to q party, and the one
which fails TO nominate the Governor is
soothed with the Office of Lieuteu ant Gov
ernor. The nomination is then given to an
aspirant who will be servceable to the
party bosses. Inspectors of State prisons,

CONKLING AND BLAINE.
The Abiest Stump Speakers the Rspub-
lican Party Has Ever Produced.
Kansas CITY journal

The Ablest Stump Speakers the Repub-
Iican Party Has Ever Produced.
Kansas City Journal
The undoubted sentiment of the party
with which Blaine and Conkling have been
identified is that since the days Of the war
the ablest stump speakers that party has
produced are these two men. Mr.. Conkling
has made thee speeches upon the stump
which are historic. One was in the
Academy of Music in New York at the
opening of the national campaign Of
1872. Coukling was then only 43 years
of age. He spoke for nearly four
hours, and probably the speech is to be
accepted as bis finest achievement upon
the stump. Notwithstanding the great
length of the speech, the vast and brilliant
audience seemed unaware Of the lapse of
time. The speech was afterwards printed
in pamphlet form and circulated by hundreds
OF thousands as campaign document AT
terward Mr COnkllng made another nota bic
speech in Philadelphia, regarded by many
as even abler than the New York address.
In the fall OF 1880 he maze three speeches
In Ohio under such extraordinary circum-
stances that the event became traditional.
General Garfield himself mas expressed the
opinion that these addresses, together with
that one delivered by General Grant at the
same time, were the turning point IN the
campaign for the presidency.
Blalne,s style oil stump-speaklng ls en-
tlrely different from that which character
lied CoDkling. Blaine was earnest, impas-
stoned, enthusiastic, incisiye. ConEling
was impressive. magnificent brilliantly
rhetorical. sarcastic. and werds came from
his lips IN superb rhythm and delicious
melody Conkling inspired respect, ad-
miration and intellectual approval Blaine
commanded affection and that quality
which, when displayed in a soldier, would
lead an army TO follow In a foriorn hope.
1t is rather curious fact to note that,
notwithstanding the political influence
which capacity On the stump gives to him
who possesses il. only three Of the Presid-
ents elected since the formation of the
government had any gift of this sort-Lin-
coin. Garfield and General Harrison.

NoN-PAKTIs AN JUDGES.

The difference between a Non-Partisan
candidate for judicial position and candi-
date nominated By a boss is that the former
has no master while the latter has The
former is in position TO do what he
thinks right, while the latter is hamrered
by the condition under which he was nomi-
mated Unless a man is naturally vicious

he finds himself in position TO deal out
justice to his fellow-meD. Probably nine

A SILLY COMPLAINT.

The Kelly-Crimmins morning organ says:
The difficulties encountered by Republicans
and the outraCes 10 which they were subjected
while registering at the City Hall are matter OF
general knowledge.
The FIVE members of the Board of Elec-
tion Commissioners were Republicans and
three were candidates for reelection. They
had the election machinery in their own
hands. Under these circumstances COM
plants that Republicans were not given a
fair show seem silly. The only Repub-
licans that experienced any difficulty In reg
isterIng at the City Hall were of the
suffers variety. And in spite of all efforts
to check them some 5000 succeeded in get
ting on the register
The morning call., 1892-11-08
BUYING VOTES.

There is such thing as the purchase of
legal votes. The difference between the
suffer and the legal voter who sells his
vote is that the latter has right to vote
while the former has not. Both commit
crimes, but their punishment is TO be
reached IN a different way. Traffic in votes
is felony, and may be punished as such
upon proof The buyer is equally as guilty
as TIE seller. 1t may be more difficult to
prove the fact Of a transaction in votes
than the fact of false registry. but the law
provides the same penalty for one as for
the other. The present outlook is that any
1000 or 5000 votes the bosses may be able to
purchase will not affect the result The
on-Partisans are too far ahead.

ELLERT OR O'DONNELL.

Both the old parties profess to be afraid
OF the election of O'Dounell. This fear is
an admission of their weakness. Last time
ODonnell polled 1900 votes under condi.
tions much more favorable to an independ.
ent candidate than prevail this year. No
one expects him to poll the vote this year
he did in 1890, when he was the only man in
the field that could be called anti-boss. But
1900 votes Will only elect IN case the four
principal candidates for Mayor run nearly
abreast of each other. If any one runs
much ahead Of the other he will be ahead

on the safe side all who are opposed TO

NOT MUCH OF A LIE.

The Kelly-Crimmins morning organ asserts
that voters who had lived in their respect
I've precincts for years were warned by
Democratic and Non-Partisan Supervisors
to refrain from registering under penalty OF
arrest" The organ ought to do better than
this ON the last day OF the campaign. A
warning to voters who have lived in their
respective precincts for years would have
no possible effect. 1t would be waste Of
time and stationery. The only warning
that could have been served TO men who had
clear right to register in one precinct
would be not to attempt to register In any
other precinct.

offender convicted it is reasonable to as
sumo that very few men will take the
chances. There has not been in recent
years such desperate effort made to stuff
the register nor such resolute measure
taken TO guard against suffers. The people

MUNICIPAL POLITICS.

In voting for municipal officers no citizen
owes any obligations to either of the old
parties. Nom Partisans recognize no such
obligation. They divide on national ques-
tions, but are unit here. They have no
party but that one which stands as a bull
wark against all the corrupt elements of the
city IL they find candidates who are
leagued for corrupt State legislation it is
their duty to defeat them If possible. If
they find the same men working to per-
petuate the rule Of rings and thieves in
this city the duty of the citizens at The polls
ought to be plain enough. The issues in a
municipal election are entirely distinct
from those Of national election.
