or What Does NOT Constitute or
fensiye Partissnship.
Washington Special TO the Pittsbttr0 CONNER
cidt- Gazette.
Postmaster General Bissell was called
upon to-day by the Kentucky delegation in
congress and asked to define what would
constitute offensive psrtisanship" when
used In connection with removals from Of.
fee.
why - he replied, with laugh, IL cans
not undertake TO make specific rule cover
ing that question. Give me an instance of
what you would consider an offensive par
tlsanship."
"Weli," spoke up one OF the delegation,
there is in my district a postmaster who
campAiRned for Harrison and made speeches
all over the district. He spoke from the
same platform with me in joint debate.
Now, is not that good case of offensive
craftsmanship
was he fair ia debateP' queriod the Post
master General Ia return.
Eyes, sir"
Then IL was not offensive partisanship, y
replied Mr.. Bissell, providing the post
master did not neglect the duties of his
office. This is a country Of free thought
and free speech, and would not remove
any man simply because he discussed the
political questions Of the day in a free and
fair manner"
Continuing, Mr.. Bissell gave the delega-
ton some points which he would regard as
offensive partisRnship In postmasters. First,
one who would turn his office into political
headquarters; second, one who would ma
nipulste the mails in the interest Of his
party; third, one who would collect and
solicit funds for the use OF his party, and
fourth, one who would use the position to
coerce patrons OF the office into voting as
he wished.
Mr.. Bissell stated that no doubt there
were other points. But he would take up
each case brought to him and decide it upon
It's merits. And he ad vised the delegation
not to support charges Of this character I'M
less their proof was absolute.

Tanninl Walru3 Hides.

One Of the largest hides ever tanned
has just come from the taunery Of a To-.
cal firm. It is eight feet wide aud four.
teen feet long aud weighs 100 pounds.
1t Is one OF dozen or more walrus hides
brought to this city i've yeats ago by a
whaler from the Arctic.
Twelve years ago experiments were
made on the hide Of the walrls, aud it
was conclusIYely proved that it couI be
tanned. Then cane the question of a
market FOR the leather whica was seldom
less than Al inch in thickness. Local
silversmiths found it an excellent sub.
stitute for the old -style emery wheel, aud
from the first it was success, used as
a means Of polishing silverware and sur.
facing precious stones. Oace a use was
found for it the price advanced until in
1890 it had reached s. a pound. Other
firms commissioned captains of whaler5
to secure hide, for them, and with COM
potion the price of the tanned hides
rcceded to So a pound, at which figure
it is now quoted in the Eastern markets.
The green hides are enormous ard
cumbersome, weighing from 500 to 700
pounds each. Tnc process of tanning
them is the same as that uSe1 for ordin.
airy leather save that the walrLs hides are
laid away for six months out Of the
twelve and it takes FIVE years to
complete the process Of curing. The
average run Of the hides in thickness is
from three to four inches when green
When tanned they run from two to thre,
inches in thickness.
The hide spoken Of in the opening OF
the article is two inches in thickness
near the edges and in the center is over
four inches thick. The neck is Mt leas!
six inches thick aud has been perfectly
tanned. San Francisco Chronicle.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
PUMPKINS AS FOOD.

Many farmers grow large crops OF
pumpkins and fiud quick sales for them
at good prices. But we DO not intend to
give an account OF the profit in this veg
etable. We desire to call the attention
of growers of it to the saluable proper
ties which it contains as food for stock.
Carrots are considered to 10 the best
food Of its kind for stock, and imme-
diately behind it comes the pumpkin.
This is sufficient, and we can readily see
the value Of it as food for stock. When
prices are low it is better to feed all the
surplus pumpkins to the cows. The
milk will not only be of richer quail
ity, but the quantity will be greater.
To the other stock it is an agreeable
food, but the result is not 50 plainly evil
dent as in the case OF the COWS. Amer
