A Plant Box.

1t is much easier to take care OF mum
Der of house plants, if they are in one
box, instead OF several flower pots.
Take wooden box as long as the win
dow is wide, about six inches wi lie and
six inches deep; put four strong legs on
it, long enough to make it as high as
as the window-sil, and then put
small castors in the legs and line the
box with zinc, and your stand is COM
plete.
Fill the box with good soil and set
the plants in carefully, and they will
not stop growing.

ease, and on very cold night can be
rolled into the middle OF the room and
covered easily.-The Household.

A Few Desirable Vines.
Forest.

Antigonon Leptopus-this vine is in
digenous to Mexico, and it grows luxuri-
antlg 10 the southern part Of he United
States 1t IS perennial, and If the top is
cut down by frost it soon comes up
again. Ii the seed is sOwn in damp,
sandy place they terminate very easily.
1t is tuberOus rooted and the older the
tuber the greater growth the vine makes.
1t is OF such vigorous habit of growth
that in short time it forms perfect
screen. It's racemes OF pink flowers are
truly beautiful 1t will adapt itself to
almost any kind Of treatment but if it's
wants are catered to it will pay for the
kind treatment. A sunny situation, a
rich soil, plenty OF water meet the re-
quirements Of this vine.
1t does not make much growth until
the third year and after that it grows
wonderfully. When this vine is once
planted it is there to stay. Many door
could be secured from the sun by this
vine, and beauty and comfort would be
combined. 1t must be given plenty OF
room for growth, as it climbs over
everything within it's reach and uses the
same for trellis.
Star jessamine-this is one OF the most
desirable vines; it's foliage and snowy
white blossoms are truly beautiful. In
blossoming time it is a mass OF lovely
white flowers. 1t blooms in the spring
time. There is q fine specimen OF this
vine in this place, and the Waltham
queen rose with it's blossoms OF rare
beauty, mingling with the wax-like bios
SONS form pleasing contrast.
This vine is easily prOpagated from
cuttings in damp sand. They make rapid
growth the second year.
Grand Duke jessamine belongs to the
same genus of plants. The flowers are
large and very double.
Yellow jessamine is an indigenous vine
and is found growing in the hammocks.
1t festOOns the trees and shrubs and
makes the hammOcks bright with it's
FURNISHED gold blossoms.
Ipomea, or moon flower, is a rapid
climber and it's white blossoms are very
attractive. trellised piazza covered
with blooming brown flower is a pleas
ing sight. There are several varieties OF
this plant, and all are very attractive.

Palms at Federal Point, Florida.

One of the most beautiful and inter-
esting gardens in the South, GER
tainly the most beautiful in Florida,
is that of Mr.. f. II. Hart. at Fed
eral Point, Florida. This has been
for several years famous for its magnii
ceant ms, bat it is equally rich in
ornamental evergreen shrubs, such az
Michelia fuscata, Tibouchina (Plerom y
Benthamiana, Brnnsfalsia and many
others.
The garden and orange grove are To-
C tied in the fl vt woods, with clay sub
soil, and they are artificially drained.
n large number of plants thrive luxur-,
iantly in this soil. An acacia dealbata
had attained height Of twenty-five feet
in few years. 1t was not damaged
materially by the great freeze of Jan
uary, 1886, but died in 1887, apparently
without cause. A large and Cense
specimen of Podocarpus Nageia is rev.
elAtion OF beauty to the lover Of plants.
Araucarias are usually not successful in
Florida, but }3cimen OF A. BidwlIlls,
one of the most striking species, has al
ready attained here a height OF thirteen
feet. Bamboos also do well and Bam-
bu "a argentea stricta IS thirty feet high.
But the most important feature of Mr..
Harris garden is the collection of Palms.
All the species tried by Mr.. Hart grow
well, with The exception Of Washington
MIA flifera and the Braheas, which do
not appear to find favorable conditions
of soil and climate, although they are
hardy enough. Frost is the only draw
back in growing nearly all the Palms,
and only the hardest will survive anex-
ceptionally cold winter. Corypha aus
trails is generally hardy, but all the
large specimens on this place succum ed
to tn , four days continuous freezing i'll
January 1886. Mr.. Hart says that
Palm dean hardly be fertilized too much,
and the more fertilizer and water they
get the faster they grow. They will
thrive under the application of nitro
geneous manures in quantities suffice Mt
to kill most other plants. 1t is we'll
known that on the Riviera and in Italy
a cart load or more OF stable manure is
applied to each large specimen Palm, and
that the plants like such treatment is
proved by the large and healthy spec
linens seen there.
Most of Mr.. Harris Palms are
planted about in the orange grove
and on the boarders and head
lands, and they receive the same treat
ment as the orange trees. In order to
show what immense growth they make
in very short time on this famous
place, S hall only mention that Cocos
plumosa, set out as pot-plant not six
years ago, now stands twenty-five feet
high, with a cylindrical, ringed trunk
ten inches through. Among measur-
m ents made of some of the specimens
in this large collection were several Lat
anias divisional fourteen feet high one
of these was in bloom when [ saw it on

What Il Tariff Should Be For.

The Chicago platform announces the
true purpose of the tariff and of ali i'm
ports and taxes; that is. the raising of
revenue for the necessities OF the govern
ment. The amount sought to be raised
should be limited to those necessities, and
economy should be studied in the admin
istration of the government. When the
purpose in view is not to raise necessary
revenue, but TO help certain branches of
private business, it is prostitution of
the taxing power, liable to be grossly
perverted, being practically without
limit and only governed by the needs and
desires OF the protected class or classes.
The Democratic party will prepare
schedule of duties upon imports which
will have in view the raising of revenue
to meet the expected necessities of eco
nomical government. 1t will proceed with
proper caution and endeavor to carry out
its policy with due regard to the general
welfare OF the United States. 1t will in
Congress reform the tariff and place it on
a revenue basis as authorized by the con-
stitution.
The Democratic party has not and can
not have any such absurd object in view
as the ruin OF any branch of American
industry. All the sneers and charges
that make this denial necessary are as
silly as they are malevolent. But the
common good, the needs of the nation.
the benefit OF the United States will be
kept in view, and if that involves less en-
richment to some fostered schemes and
protected enterprises, the country will be
considered as paramount, and private IN
terests will neither be assailed nor placed
above the public welware.

A New Utah Commissioner.

The President has at length taken
action in reference to the Utah Commits
SION. Commissioner ALVIN @. SAUND-
ERs has resigned, and Colonel II. c. LETT
has been appointed to succeed him.
There are now three Democrats and two
Republicans on the board.
1t was hoped and expected that the
President would see the propriety OF
making clean sweep of that body and
appoint a full board OF Utah residents.
1t is not improbable that he will do SO
yet. While he understands the need of
full change he is very considerate OF pub
lie opinion and what was expected of the
commission when it was organized under
the EDMUNDs act. And he win not take
this extreme though needful step without
full elaboration.
The appropriation made for the commits
sion by the late Congress has a condition
attached that all future appointments
shall be from residents of the territory.
That does not signify that removals shall
be made to clear the way for such ap-
pointments. But the spirit of it is evil
dent, and it is in accord with the policy
laid down in the platform of the Demo-
cratic party at the Chicago convention.
It is not unlikely, then, that further
changes may be made in favor of residents
of Utah. If any of the old board are per-
mitted to remain, Gen. McClernand will
be the most acceptable of them to the ma
jority of the people of Utah. He is not
only sound Democrat but staunch and
! fearless supporter of justice and equal
rights, and he cannot be bulldozed or
bought. He also fully understands the
Utah situation.
The appointment of Col. LETT will be
well received by his friends and by The
public generally. He is fully fitted for
the post and will bring to it the force Of
an acute mind. good business qualifca-
tons, a thorough appreciation Of what is

The Outrage at Tintic.

The dynamite outrage at Tintic is the
natural elimination of the policy pur-
sued By the striking miners. From the
first they have manifested disposition to
prevent work being carried on at the
Bullion Beck unless they performed it,
and that at their own price.
When they found that the company
would not pay more than g. day for
miners and 90 for laborers, and would
net keep the mine closed, they used all
the lawful means at their command to
induce the new men employed not to go
to work. In some instances they went a
little beyond the line OF law and propri-
ETY. in that particular.
After they found that persuasion, ridi-
cule and threats would not answer
their purpose they began to resort to
violence. The shooting OF young HYDE
was an indication of their sentiments.
The assault, which was settled by inHict-
ing fine upon only one of the persons
engaged in the affray, sprang from the
same source. And now the attempt to
blow up buildings in which it was sup
posed workingmen were lodged, caps the
climax of lawless resistance to non
unionism.
The Miners union Of course repudiates
responsibility for this murderous violence.
We do not assume that the union ordered
or perpetrated the crime. But in the pay
ing of the fine of the convicted defendant
in the assault case the parties who are
guilty of the latest outrage no doubt felt
some degree of encouragement.
| THE HERALD has maintained the posi-
ton it assumed at the beginning of this
dispute. That is, it is more reasonable
and for the interest OF the miners to accept
the temporary reduction announced by
the company, with the promise of re-
turn to former prices when the mine
should be in paying condition, than to
fold their hands in idleness in the vain
hope of thus forcing the rate OF wages.
Also, that while they had the right to re-
fuse, they had no right to prevent other
persons from laboring at eny price that
might be agreed upon between workmen
and employers. We also yentured the
prediction that hands would be found to
work at the figures offered, and that the
Union miners would be greatly the losers
in the long run.
| This was not because THE HERALD be-
lieved in low wages, but on the theory
that they are better than none. All these
months the miners have been idle. What
they have drawn from the union does not

suitable.

WITH THE new asphaltum streets, now
would be good time to agitate reform
in the width of vehicle tires. The wheels
of all draught, wagons without springs
passing over any public highway and
carrying loads of 5000 pounds or less
should have tires not less than three
inches in width, and wider in proportion
as the load goes beyond that weight.
There ought to be an ordinance for this
or something like it. 1t could
be made prospective SO as to apply only
to wagons constructed after the adoption
of the system. In some cities, where the
license system prevails, bounties are given
after the passage OF an ordinance OF this
kind to those having the wheels OF their
vehicles changed at once to conform to
the new law.

THE BRAZILIAN government has sent
representative to China to employ
100, 600 Mongolians to work in the coffee
plantations OF that country. The Wash
ington Post, we see, thinks it would be a
masterful stroke of policy for our state
department to intercept the agent at San
Francisco and propose that he engage
the Cinnamon on these shores instead OF
going for them to the fowery kingdom.
But why should not Brazil take up with

and colonize there 100, 600 of our Southern
negroes? The blacks are quite as well

begin 10 compensate them for their losses.
They were wrong in the start, not that
their labor was not worth all they asked,
but because it was evident they could not
get it, and good policy would have de-
cided that they had far better accept the
terms than remain idle
Here is where we think they have had
bad advice, and where the union leaders
have been responsible. 1t was unwise to
reject the proffered wages under the cir
cumstances; it was wrong to try to pre-
vent other workmen from accepting the
terms. And the offense that has just been
committed is the natural result OF the
whole mistaken policy and improper
feeling.
We hope it will be established that the
Union is clear from responsibility for the
dynamite doings, morally as well as le-
gally. For if the wrong should be
traced to the organization it would pro-
yoke very strong public feelings against
the Union and materially damage all such
associations in these parts.
The true policy of these societies is to
maintain reason and justice and fully
sustain the law and the rights of man.
While seeking the welfare of their MEM
bers, obtaining good wages with few
hours of toll, they must not interfere
with the freedom OF others, nor take a
step toward the destruction of any hui
man rights, or moral dynamite will be
brought to bear upon them until they
are effectually burst asunder.
