African Pumpkins,

The African pumpkin," or gamhen, is very different from the well-known American fruit of that name, being 9 tree with a short but abnormally thick trunk, but it is of the pompion family, to which belongs the melons. The trunk grows about fourteen feet high, with diameter of from three to six feet. The rind is white as chalk and perfectly smooth, and the clumsy trunks among the green shrubbery look more like marble columns than anything else. These plants attain a wonderful age. Wellstedt reports having found at Kad- hub, not far from Tamarid, in the bark of gamhen trunk an Arabian inscrip- tion bearing the date of 1640. The wood is not solid and compact like that of the trees we know but full of sap, and cuts like turnip. A penknife is sufficient to cut 8 stairway into the trunk of ganshen, over which the flowers on the top can be reached.

MUCH ADO OVER NOTHING.

Democrats throughout the country
have taken great delight in parading the
flop of Wayne MacVeagh and his open
esp ousal of the cause Of Cleveland and
his free trade Democracy. However
much of criticism MacVeagh may merit
from Republicans for his desertion of
the party that made him all that he is
and has honored him far beyond his
deserts, nobody for an instant quest ion
his privilege of allying himself as his
fancy or whims may suggest, And
since Mr.. MacVeagh has made so con-
spicuous figure of himself it may be
well enough to consider HIM, in passing,
from the standpoint of citizen and the
estimation in which he Is held by his
neighbors. Here IS what the West
Chester, Pa, Record has to say Of him
and his acrobatic feat:
''As will be seen by his in another
column the Hon. Wayne MacVeagh, at
torney general under the late President
Garfield, has signified his intention to
vote for Mr.. Cleveland since he
represents tariff reform" Protec-
ton as exemplified by the Mckinley
bill is more than he can swallow.
Ever siuce Dir. MacVeagh tried
to get the nomination for congress in
Chester county and didn't, his Repub-
licanism has been very dubious aud his
selection by Mr.. Carried TO represent the
Republicans of Pennsylvania IN his cab
met was always regarded as about as
keen a satire OIL Pennsylvania Repubh-
cans as had ever been perpetrated by any
former president. Mr.. MacVeagh was
born and bred Democrat, was for the
Union during the war which made him
a Republican also district attorney, but
when he couldn't get TO be the member
of congress he had no further use for the
party. We publish his letter
without any fear of is influencing or
pervertinG any Republican votes and
more as a matter Of diversion for our
readers, who may probably be interested

THE ANSWER TO WHAT DID ITpn

To the Editor of the Eagle.
In an editorial in your issue of October
10 you say:
"From 1883 to 1883 Kansas was won
derfully prosperous. Farm lands ad-
vanced in price, and nearly every town
in the state experienced boom. A lull
came, which, together with the failure
of the corn crop in 1888, made radical
change in the condition of farmer and
merchant alike. Out of this depression
grew the Farmers Alliance
You ask "What Did IT," 1t was
Cleveland's tariff reform administration
that did it. He announced in one of his
first addresses to the people after his
Inauguration the following as his policy
in regard to the tariff:
"Put everything possible on the free
list, and reduce the tariff on all dutiab bic
articles to the lowest possible point"
Cleveland's cabinet officers Were all in
favor of this policy. Manning, his sec
rotary of the treasury, made all his de-
cisions and rulings in a line with this
policy. At the first session of con-
gress under Cleveland's administration,
the Morrison tariff bill was introduced
and near the close OF the session was
passed by the house. This bill proposed
TO make a sweeping reduction OF about
twenty per cent. on the duties on all
imported articles. FortuneIy for the
country 1t was defeated by Republican
senate. At the beginning of the second
session of congress, Mills of Texas, pro-
posed new tariff reform bill onite
similar to Morrison's; this was aggitated
and discussed for another session, and
was likewise defeated by Republican
senate.
The effect of these measures was to
distroy confidence, which is an absolute
necessity TO business prosperity. When
confidence is destroyed money is hoared.

county in each state. The corn crop

farmers Of this state, for those of Iowa,
Illinois, Ohio, New York, New England

The loss of the presidency is not the
only danger that threatens, with its evil
consequences, the stability of our econ
omic system in the defeat of the Repub-
can presidential electors. The states
that elect anti-Republican electors is
liable to elect legislatures OF the same
political complexion, and these in turn.
at least those Of them that shall elect
United States-will elect senators of
like faith. The defeat of the Republi-
can party in a majority of the states
would mean the turning over of the leg
islative and executive departments and
their complete subversion from pres
ent beneficent governmental policies. 1t
Is serious matter.

years we would have to submit TO his
vetoes and insults, for we could have no
legal redress. If he had been elected In
1888 instead of Harrison the disability
pension law of 1890 could not have been
passed, as he would have vetoed it.
Every soldier who draws pension un-
der the law of 1890 should remember
that he is indebted 10 the election of
General Harrison in 1888 for that law,
and further that the election of Cleve-
land will endanger its stability. They
would amend il in such a way as to cnt
off from the pension rolls three-fourths
of those who are drawing pensions I'M
der it. This was talked of when con-
gress met. but the belief that General
Harrison would veto the bill deferred
them from attempting 1t. Tie desper-
ate fight they are making against Pen
sion Commissioner Raum Is made be-
cause he is granting too many pensions
TO suit the ex-rebel brigadiers who con-
troll the present lower house of congress.
Ii the Republican senate had not mate
rally increased the appropriation for
the present year many pensions would
not have been paid for lack of funds in
the hands of pension agents to pay them.
Soldiers should take warning from the
fact that the speaker OF the house
and the chairmen of most Of the in-
poriant committees in congress are from
the south and were on the wrong side OF
the fight during the war. Northern
Democrats would not stop paying
pensions, but we must remember that
they have very little infiuence ia CON
gress. 1t is the southern wing OF the
party that controls congress when it is

than anything else that endeared Mr.
Cleveland to the southern heart. This

In an interview at Kansas City, where
he went to speak to the packing house
employees in the interest of the Populite
ticket, in referring to the reason why he
had left his own distric. and gone into a
distant part of the state, Jerry
Simpson rung in the agricultural
phrase OF his ''crop was laid
by and he had little time for recre-
alton" Jerry was right; his crop is laid
by, but the cultivating has been done by
Chester Long, and he will gather the
harvest of votes next month. The fact
about Jerry's leaving the district is that
he and his party realize that he is COM
pietely done for at home and hope to use
him to some advantage in some of the
doubtful districts, where they think they
have some show of success. But the
situation up in the Second district is as
hopeless for that party and its candidate
for congress as it is in the Seventh.

The excuse set up by Simpsons mana
gers for declining Mr.. Longs challenge
for joint discussions through the district,
i. e., that they didn't propose to have
Simpson draw crowds of people for Long
to talk Republicanism to, was specious,
insincere and demagogical. The chal-
lenge was declined because they knew
Jerry dare not stand up before
the public with Mr.. Long to
show up his record and expose
his vulnerable career as legislator and
alleged political economist-in a word.
they knew Jerry couldn't stand Chester's
pounding. In this connection it is worthy
of note that other candidates of that
party for county offices flock to Mr..
Longs appointments to get the benefit of
the crowds that turn out to hear him,
and thus avail themselves of the pres
ence of voters that they fail to secure at
their own appointments.

are as important as any. Our friends of
the party need not be told that, beyond
considerations of party, state or national.

this being true, it is essential, beyond
