Why Harrison Is Unpopular.

I was talking to one of the great leaders
of the republican party, writes a CORE
spondent in the New York Press, a few days
ago, and l asked him:
"How is it that so many practical politi-
clans are opposing President Harrison,
when all of them praise his administra-
tion?"
HE has" said the great man. cautiously,
"a very grudging way Of conferringa favor.
so that the recipient of it feels hurt while
his material a of craving is satisfied.
The president has not learned the grace to
selve over the refusal of an office nor the
cordially to make the giving of it 8 pleas
ant remembrance. Therein, I think, lies
his chief disability. At least, that is what
keeps alive the first disappointment which
almost always attends q new president.
The odds are always against q winner.
and a president must d%isappoint more
people than he can crafty in two OF
three years. for the simple reason that
there are ten times us man favors asked al
there are places and fayors that he can be-
stow. Before his election the boys have
turned in for him in the hope of receiving
favors: after his election they do not all get
what they want and they vote the president
a failure and want somebody else. 1t is al
ways co.
The tone in which this leader spoke was
that of conviction.
"The president has made no important
mistakes in policy. He has been true to
the record and platform made and ex-
pected. Choosing a cabinet minister here
or there stirs up some discussion. The
trouble with tho president has been in ius,
those things the mugwumps admire, anG
yet he is farthest removed from q mug
wump. He Is without the popular temper
ament, the taking ways, the adroitnsss anc
the tact of the politician, and our peopl.

perhaps from their temperament, like tn,

GRATED HUMAN FLESH.

The Operation Successfully Performed by
a Baltimore Surgeon.
BALTIMORE, Feb. 25.-The rather unusual
surgical operation of grating human flesh
on the body of an injured man performed
over q month ago at the Maryland Univer-
sity hospital by Drs. L. McLane Tiffany
and Frank Martin, IS proving very success
full. The patient WAS VIM. Valentine, who
had the skin torn from his arm, shoulder
and neck by being caught in some machin-
cry at the South Baltimore Car works.
where he was employed. He was taken to
the Maryland University hospital for treat
ident to DR.. Martin, the resident phvsi-
clan, that the wound would not heal over
BY growing new flesh, After consultation,
it was determined to try the opera
ton of grating. The mans father
in-law went to the friends of young
Valentine, and soon eight healthy men had
volunteered to aid the sufferer by allowing
the removal Of pieces of skin from their
arms to be placed on the wounds of this
friend. This operation was performed by
Drs. Tiffany and Martin. Valentine soon
began to improve, and a day or two ago
wars able to leave the hospital and rstnrn to
his home. The major portion of the skin
placed on the wound has adhered and is
unite with the flesh beneath, aud a part of
the wound on the shoulder is still uncov-
cred by any skin. The man visits the hos
pital daily to have his wounds dressed.
HIS physicians are now meditating another
operation of a similar kind. Should 1t be
determined upon, it may a place the
latter part of the week. "

CONCERNING THE TRADE DOLLAR.

To the Editor: Will you be kind enough
to answer the following questions through
the column Of your valuable paper?
For what particular purpose was the
trade dollar issued and why was it at a dis
count and does it contain more silver than
the standard dollar? CONSTANT READER.
Demersville, Feb. 20.
When silver was demonetized in 1878
what is known as the Bland act creating
the trade dollar was passed, and went into
effect tho following year. 1t was a silver
coin containing 400 grains Of fine silver and
was issued for the sole purpose, as its name
implies, for use in foreign trade. This
trade was confined exclusively to the orient
and in particular to the countries Of China
and Japan. 1t was necessary to have a sill
yer dollar of this value for exchange with
the silver coins of like value in those coun-
tries. When silver was remonetlzed IN 1878
the coinage of the trade dollar was sus-
pended. It was at a discount because it
never had legal standing in this country as
a coin and was valuable only for what sill
yer was in it. At the time of the remoneti-
zation the present standard silver dollar of
1921 grains was created and there was no
Longer use of the trade dollar for trade pur-
poses,
