RAISE Nurs.-M,y George Ruedy has
on exhibition in the window Of the store
room north Of the Gazette Office, the
branches and leaves Of q number Of nut
trees raised BY him in his hill nursery.
The varieties shown are the shell bark
hickory, thick shelI-bark hickory, Peru.
Wan, English and Japanese walnut, jap
sness chestnut. hardshell almond, black
walnut, Russian almond, American hazel
nut and English 1lbert. He also shows
= few samples Of the fruit OF the English
walnut, which he regards a. the most
certain Of successful growth in the Pa
louise. The display has attracted a great
deal Of attention, and 1t Is hoped has sug-
gested the truth and force OF Mr..
Ruedy's constant sermon to intending
fruit growers, to leave the planting Of
trees whose fruits do not develop to their
best here, and raise something that other
people do not raise asd the product Of
which has always . ready market. Mr..
Ruedy explains that though all nut trees
are oil tender growth, by proper care they
can Be acclimsted, 90 that even the rigors
Of our winters will not affect them, and
be has in his nursery evidences Of the
truth Of this statement, several Of his
walnut trees having acquired steady
growth for several years. --Colfax Gazette.
DEnocRAcY's TAsK.--Meantime, there
are other great issues to be discussed and
momentous public matters to be decided
the silver question was not party ques-
ton, and all efforts to make 1t such proved
II vain. The great political and econo-
mic probleFhs with which congress has
~ 70 deed are party issues. The reduc-

otettive" discrimination from our
bedules and the establishment OF
lrcial liberty on the principle Of a
Exchange Of commodities; the reduc-
In public expenditures, and the cut.
hg down, a. far a. possible, Of the
Obligations incurred through the wasteful
lextravagance Of the shameless Reed con-
gress; the checking Of the power OF com.
mercial and corporate monopolies, in so
far as the federal government is able to
do so--these and other great issues which
divide the two leading political oraaniza-
tons in this country, demand the at,en-
ton Of congress. Facing these grave ques-
tons in unity, courage and determine
ton Of spirit, let the Democracy give
back to the nation the realization Of it's
hope and its promise. Spokane

VICTIMS OF AssAssTSs. We have neye,

tory. Booth was mad. Guiteau crank
Laurent was fanatic, Balthazar Gerard
and Rayaillac were brooding maniacs.
The killing Of Caesar was almost the only
purely political assassination in history,
since the organization Of society on q
political basis. Palace plots and dynastic
murders do not count. The murders Of
Henry Nv and William of Orange take a
deep shade Of political motive from the
character Of Philip II, who was capable Of
employing fanatic instruments to remove
his enemies, but Philip was little mad.
too. No politician Of sane, clear mind
and intelligent grasp of the lessons Of
history and the laws Of action Of the
human mind. ever employed assassina-
ton as an agent, however unscrupulous
and whatever the temptation. 1t is hard
TO believe II Of the killers of Caesar. They
were men of affairs, some of them; bu,
they did the maddest deed in history,
though ages have worshiped them az
