TOM REED ON THE MESA GE.

ssOne can hardly fail TO be impressed
by the resemblance between the mes
sage Of President Cleveland and that
of the last Democratic president who
addressed a congress Of his party in
1857. While the disaster is not the
same, the expression Of sorrow is very
similar. Mr.. Cleveland has set an ex-
ample Of short, single topic messages;
but, while this message is impressive
it is far from being adequate to the
occasion. While my votes in the past
show plainly that [ agree with much
that he says, I should not be doing
Justice to my own sense of truth If
did not record my entire disbelief in
the idea that the message states the
underlying cause of our disaster. The
cause of our misfortune is plainly
this: Utter uncertainty reigns in
finance and tariff, and in everything
on which business can be based. Ii
YOU remove one element Of uncertain
ty there remains all the others. You
cannot readiust the economic princi-
pies which govern a country without
disaster, especially if that readJust-
ment be violent and involve the wa
ges and salary Of every citizen.

Peculiar Plant Lice.

Livingstone tells of u species Of aphis,
or plant louise. which inhabits the fig
trees of Africa, which constantly distil
water until it forms in great puddles on
the ground underneath. There seems to
be some contention among naturalists
as to whether this insect distils it's wa
ter from the sap Of the plant which it
infests or the atmosphere. Livingstone
found some of them at work on a castor
bean plant and set about making an ex-
pertinent. When first surprised at their
work, distillation was going on at the
rate of one drop every 81 seconds, OF
about 81 tablespoonfuls every "a hours.
He destroyed the bark of the plant be-
low them, and although it is known that
sap must come from the earth they were
actually distilling drop every five sec
onds, the flow being 13 times greater
than it was the day before. He then cir
died the plant so deeply thatit dried and
froke off. Still the little colony Of insect
wonder kept at work, regularly distill-
ing one drop every five seconds, while
another colony on green twig only
managed to distil a drop every II sec
onds.-St. Louis Republic.

a Funny Thing About Tips.

ito be on our guard against the cholera
T. e medical profession is united in the
belief that the scourge Will break out
az ain this summer not only in Europe,
but in this country. The germs OF the
disease have lain dormant during the
winter, but so soon as they are revlvltied
by the sun the death roll will begin to
be called, and all the resources of mod
err science will be called ON to combat
the plague 1t is admitted on all sides
that we are in jeopardy; it is admitted
cannot begin too soon.
There are various methods of meeting
the situation, most of which are In our
own hands That the most strenuous
efforts are necessary cannot be ques-
toned. But it has been suggested that
the clergy should unite in offering up
prayer to Divine Providence that this
calamity may be averted from us. With
o full sense of the gravity of the occasion
and after the most earnest reflection,
have decided that I for one can offer no
such prayer | will not pray that this
city may be spared from the cholera
when see that the city itself is making
no effort to guard against the danger.
eff the cholera makes havoc among
us, it will be because our streets are
dirty, our water is impure, our drainage
is filthy And whose fault is this? 1t Is
your fault, it is my fault, in that we do
not see to it that our city government is
rightly administered and that polite
clans are not permitted to use its fran
chises for their own ends. And our
lethargy is all the more unworthy in that
it is selfish For the cholera, if it comes
will not place us in danger. We can
avoid 1t. we can leave lne CrOWuoo
CITY and betake ourselves comfortably
to places where pure air and good water
will free us from apprehension.
But if you should go where go, into
the dwellings of the poor, you would
realize what calamity is impending
over the great mass of the inhabitants OF
the city, and how empty, yes and worse,
it would be to pray that the cholera may
be staid from entering homes which
our neglect has left to stand amid sur
roundings which must breed the very
pestilence that we seek to escape."-

Forming Squares.

1t is remarkable that recent tactics in
the Soudan, when we formed squares to
resist the rush of our fanatical oppo-
nents, are simply a copy of those which
Napoleon was compelled to adopt in that
part of the world nearly century ago
The Mamelukes, who We're his most dan
gerous antagonists, were better trained
and better mounted than any cavalry he
had to bring against them, and, more
over, greatly outnumbered the French
squadrons. He was obliged, therefore,
to rely entirely on his artillery and in
fantry, and these were formed into
squares, with the guns at the angles, just
as our troops were drawn up to stem the
rrlshes at Ell Teb and Tamai.
At Ulundi our formation was the same,
and, like us ON that occasion, we read
that Napoleon placed his baggage and
cavalry in the center of the square, and
when the foe was beaten launched the
horsemen to the pursuit just as we loose
our squadrons on the Enthusiastically
Review.

Sandwich Island Girls.

The women of the Sandwich Islands
attire themselves in the hololzu. The
tropical climate makes loose, flowing
gowns a necessity. The young girls
wear wreaths Of wild flowers around their
brows and decorate their bodies with
chaplets of green leaves. They do not use
gold jewelry, but ornament their toilet
with the floral beauty of the tropics.
They are fond of outdoor life and live
most of the time in the groves. They
sleep in hammocks under the trees and
have their dances and feasts in the grot-
toes of the forests. They have little huts
in which they dwell during storms, but
are rarely found in their cottages except
in rainy weather They build grass
matched houses and cover their roofs
with rushes and have wide porches in
front of their doors to keep off the heat
of the sun.
They like to be near the sea. SO they
can battle in the waters of the ocean.
They become expert surf riders and can
scale the breakers in the widest storms.
Like sea gulls they ride the tossing rollers
and smile at the oceans 1naddest winds.
In their little boats they sail over the
blue bosom of the Pacific and cruise many
miles away from their island shores.
Their 1ittlecrafts cross the channels from
island to island and visit all the ports III
the archipelago. They are not afraid OF
the ocean solitudes, but are ut home on
it's watery wastes and find delight III its

The Springfield Republican thinks
that the tariff war between Russia
and Germany will probably result in
an increase in our exports of bread
stuffs to the latter country. The new
duties on all imports into Germany
from Russia are practically prohlbi-
tive on many articles, and almost SO
on gram They are more than 80 per
cent higher on breadstuffs from Rus
STA than on the same from this coun-
trv.which is a considerable advantage
in our favor. The tendency for the
last few years has been toward larger
purchases of American grain. We
sent to Germany less than 1000, 900
bushels of wheat in 1890, over 5000,
600 bushels in 1891, and 23,O65,795 in
1892. During the same period, from
various causes, imports from Russia
fell off from is, 900, 900 bushels 1890 to
e.417. 147 last year. We also sent l.
OOo.OO5 bushels of rye to Germany in
1890, over 1000, 900 in 1891 and 1882, )
325 in 1892.

Thoughtful citizens will inevitably
draw a contrast between Mr.. Reed
and Mr.. Crisp, which will be anything
but favorable to the representative of
the Administration. Mr.. Crisp, like
Mr.. Reed, has been unanimously re-
nominated by his party associates.
He can fairly be held accurately to
tipify his party. Mr.. Crisp is fatally
unsound on the money issue. He is
equally unsound on the tariff issue, as
the great Northern commercial and
manufacturing interests regard it. He
is irresolute, cratic, unable to formu-
late vigorous policy or to adhere to it.
In other words, he is precisely what
Mr.. Reed is not. The business men of
this country irrespective of political
affiliations, would breathe considera-
bly, easier if they knew that the man
who is to be at the helm of the Nation
al House of Representatives in the
coming crisis were Thomas B. Reed of
Maine and not Charles F. Crisp of
Georgia.
