There are millions of these trees in Flor
ida, but they are being rapidly thinned
out. Some inventor has discovered pro-
cess by which the heart leaves of the tree
are turned into paper. They are said to
make a parchment equal to the parchment
of the olden time. There WAS q shipload
of these hearts at Jacksonville awaiting
transportation to the manufsctory. Each
heart represented tree. The heart is in
the top of the trunk. From it the palms
arise and radiste. AS the lower ones fade
and drop, a new layer appears at the top.
When large trees are transplsnted, signs
of decay are apt to appear in the heart.
The new leaves turn a sickly yellow, and
the fbsis are loosened. The water leaks
into the heart and It dies. At such times
1t can be drawn out of the tree like a cork
from q bottle.
The native call the tree q cabbage tree.

POLITICAL CoNGKUITY,

Yesterday morning we had something to
say concerning the desirability of keeping
the New Haven postofiee free from psrti-
san politics, and among our remarks was
the following: "But they (the Democrats)
say we must have q Democrat. The New
Haven postofioe can be made O powerful
political machine to further the interests of
Democracy In Connecticut. Therefore We
want it." Then came the esteemed Regis
ter, and did then and there, apparently
with intent to break the peace, say that we
made the aforesaid remarks knowing them
to be not a statement of fact
Let us see. "But they (the DemocIats)
say we must have Democrat" Is there
anything false about this remarki Do not
both the Monticello Democrats and the
Register Democrats say there must be e
Democratic postmasteri If they do not
we should be glad to hear from them.
But having read in both the Monticello
paper and the Register that Democrat
must be postmaster we are bound to be-
lieve that both mean what they say, and
that both correctly represent the sentiment
of their respective wings, or gangs, or what
ever they are. We have made no mis-.
statement of this fact unless the Register
has, and we therefore feel safe 80 far.
1.-THE New Haven postofice can be made a
powerful political machine to further the
interests of Democracy in Connecticut.
Therefore we want it." Is there any mis-
statement herei Did not the Monticello
paper say on Monday, May %: "This city
ia the hub Of Connecticut Democracy, and
whatever may tend to place the local fed
eral machinery in harmony with the ma
tional administration ought to be accept
able to the majority of our citizens. The
postofics is, of course, the handspring of
this machinery, and 1t would be
entirely foreign to all conception of
political congruity that 1t should con-
tinue to be manned by a Republican" !"
What does this meant Is this good Demo
cratic talk, or only Monticello talk. If 1t
is the former, the Register can't very fairly
accuse us of misstatement. If 1t Is the latter,
and If Monticello talk isn't considered good

If the Democrats don't want grip on tina

cally congruous" we have been deceived
and deceived by Monticello Democrat
If we have been we hope to have the assis

LABOR CONTRACTS.

AAnVES SVN nAoASs
In London the Court of Appeal has just
decided a case which is interesting to
tLabor and Capital" A man named
Temperton had q contract to furnish q
certain quantity of dressed stone, and en-
ploysd stons-cutters to do the work. He
had refused to subscribe to the rules of the
stone-cutters' union, and that organization
ordered the mon away from their work.
The men obeyed the order and Temper
ton was unable to complete his con-
tract. He sued the trades union for
damages, and procured . Judgment for
FL, $50, the amount of his loss. An appeal
was taken and the judgment was affirmed
by Lord Justice Copes, who said: The
broad principle is that If man induces
one of two parties to contract to break
the contract, intending to iujure the other
or to gain benefit for himself at the e1-
pense of the other, that person commits an
actionAble wrong. A contract oonfers up
on the parties to 1t certain rights, and 1t
imposes upon all the world the duty of re-
specting that contractusl tie.
This IL in line with the decisions in the
Ann Arbor and the Georgia cases. The
law as announced by the courts in these
cases was that An employe must stand by
his contracts. He must not abandon his
employment at q time or place 80 that
damages will be caused to property or
danger to life will be incurred. An en-
ginesr must not leave his engine in the
middle of his "run" to burn out and
be destroyed, obstructing travel and the
of business and endanger-
ing other trains on the same track.
He may leave his employment at
the end of his ''run, or of the day, week
or month, according to the terms of his
contract with his employer, and 80 as not
to cause damage to property or danger to
life. A railroad telegraph operator must
not leave his instrument when the trains
within his district are running in all direo-
tions, and collisions are liable to occur by
his "strike." He must give due notice
and be sure that all Ia safe and sound be-
fore closing his circuit and abandoning his
post
These decisions do not infringe upon the
rights of employees. Employees can strike,
but they have no right to break contracts
Or injure property.
