KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE ENEMY.

KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE ENEMY
This is the advice the REGISTER gives
the Democratic Committee. Our Re-
publican friends are leaving nothing
uadone. They went quietly to work on
West Virginia 4 year ago and the
strength Of their efforts has increased
in geometrical progression ever since.
Mr.. HARRISON has neatly and completely
bridged the ELKINS-GOFF schism in the
party and they have, besides all the
money they can ask, a State full Of &C
tive federal ofice-holders, who are
working tooth and nail to hold on to
the federal teat. An instance Of the
thorough and vigorous campaign the
Republican Committee is conducting is
the following circular letter from Secre-
tary DAWSON to the chairman of every
Republican county committee in the
State:
[CoDidentiaLl
DEAR SIR: I send you by this mail a num-
Der Of blanks for the enrolment OF all
doubtful voters in your county. we desire
TO have the list as soon as possible, Wltn
the fullest information about each DOUBT
full voter, TO the end that We may ADDRESS
70 him such literature as will reach his IN
GiviGUal case, and not shoot az him as mere
tOfOre ut random. As soon as you get these
lists, look over them. revise them, and
mail them 10 the committee here, and we
VIII then proceed 70 lombard each DOUBT
ful voter
As soon as I get them in shape | will
send you blanks for complete enrolment
of all the voters IN your county; out de-
sire, first Of all, this list OF doubtful voters,
which can be gotten, L apprehend, without
great trouble. Please also send me list
Of your district and county committeeman
and list Of active workers IN the several
ueighbCrhOOds of yOurcOunty men VINO can
be depended upon.
As soon as YOU know who the doubtful
voters In your neighOOrhOOd are, appoint 10
look after each one, some good man VINO
has influence with him and whose business
10 will be 70 see that he is converted and
votes the Republican ticket ~ the next
election.
Let me have these lists OF doubtful voters
gestious you may see tit to offer concerning
the conduct of the campaign. The fight IS
on, the prospects are bright, and have no
doubt OF our ability 70 carry West Viz
GINA. WM. NJ. o. DAWSON,
Secretary.
II will be seen that the Republican
managers in their "still-hunt" have al
ready got beyond generalitieS and are
already down TO the important work Of
tackling voters personally, one by one.
No one ever has charged the Repubi-
can managers in West Virginia with
being oyer-Scrupulous in their political
methods aud the result Of such a cam
paign as is outlined in Mr.. DAwsoN's
letter might be disastrous for the Dem
ocracY, if the Democrats don't get up
on their feet and do some needed work
10 counterfeit it.
HUSTLE is the watch-word the DEM
ocratic committee should adopt this
year.

JAPANESE STATISTICS.
Tho Population of japan Is Rapidly In
creating.

Mr.. Ono, a Japanese statistician. has
Just published sorne interesting figures
concerning the remarkable increase of
population in that country Juring the
present reign. and especially since 1s1e
In January. 1872, the population was
-, Ill 200: in December. 1889, it had in
creased to 40. 900. 900 Since 1887 the an
nual rate of increase has boon thirteen
in every 1000, SO that, X tlts date Is
preserved, the population will double
itself in 81 years. In England the rate
of increase is 1873 per 1000, while in
most European countries it is between
six and nine, and In France and Spain
much lower. Mr.. Ono points out that
the number of births in Japan is lower
than in most civilized countries, except
France. and that the number of illegiti-
mate children is smaller there than in
European states. He therefore at
tributes the great increase of the popu-
lation to the development of wealth
since tho restoration and to decrease
in the dcath-rate among children.
From the tables which he gives, ne in
fcrs that the national wealth has
doubled in Japan in the last ten years,
and he shows that the increase in the
population has been greatest in the
northern and southern part of the en-
pirc. and least in the centu' part-a
phenomenon due to migration from the
central provinces.

Some Wonders OF the Vegetable World In
the Governments Collection.
The department of agriculture has
an interesting collection of queer
plants. Among the most remarkable
of the plants is the lacebark tree of
Jamaica. the inner bark of which is
composed Of many layers of fibers that
intcrlacc in all directions. Caps. ruff
iles. and even complete suits of lace
are made from it. 1t bears washing
with common SOAP. and when bleached
in the sun acquires a degree of white
ness equal to the best artificial lace.
with which this surprising natural
product compares quite favorably as Ia
| beauty.
Another curiosity Is known in the
tropics as the sand-bark tree, and also
as the monkey dinner bell 1T has a
round. hard-shelled fruit, about the
size of an orange. which, when ripe
| and dry. bursts open with sharp
noise like the report of a pistol. Its
juice is poisonous.
The South American trumpet tree
might furnish band with musical in
struments. inasmuch as its hollow
branches are used for horns and also
for drums.
The dumb cane" is SO called be-
cause its fleshy. cane-like stems render
speechless anyone who happens to bite
! them.
There is also toothbrush tree from
Jamaica. Toothbrushes are made
from it by cutting pieces of the stem
to convenient lengths. and fraying out
the ends. 1t also supplies, convenient.
ly enough. an excellent tooth powder,
which is prepared by pulverizing the
dried stems.-Washingto Star.

\ Singular Palm.

The rarapee palm is cultivated by
the Indian aborigincs Of the Guianas
for its fruit, which they use largely as
food. They plant it about their settle
mcnts, and where il is found apparently
wild in the forests examination will
show that such situations were former
ly occupied by the Indians. In some
seasons the fruit is produced without
seeds, while in other seasons it contains
seeds, the variation occurring in the
fruit Of lie same trees from season to
season. When boiled or roasted the
fruit has something of the texture and
taste of 4 dry, mealy potato. 1t is pal
atable and very nutritious. The fruits,
which are individually about the size of
pigeons egg, are borne in punches of
from, forty to sixty together. There
are two or three bearing seasons in q

Van and Won.

IT is a common mistake of Americans
to think that the predicate ivan" he
fore Dutch name signifies nobility.
In the Low countries, that is, i'm the
Kingdoms of the Netherlands and of Bel
GUM. wan" has no particular mean
ing. Names with wan" are to he read
on shops a. well as on the doors of the
most aristocratic mansions. The hum.
hlcst persons have il as well as the
most refined. On the other hand. a
great number of the oldest families
are without it. In Germany won
means noble. and all persons belong
ing to the nobility have won" before
their family names. without any eX
ception. Persons who do not belong
to the nobility cannot put won" be-
fore their names, as they have no right
to do So. and would he found out Iii.
rectly if they assumed it. and make
themselves ridiculous. But i'm case of
man being knighted for some reason
or other, he has the right to- put won
before his family name. For instance
when Alexander Humboldt was
