Pertinent Questions.

At this time at The beginning
Congressional campaign few pet
questions might be put to the !
cratic party. The paSele would y.
know if the party has lived up 10y

No excuse will suffice, as that party

these questions be answered seriauu
Has the Democratic party fulfilled
promise to Tighten the burdens Of tn
people? II so, what burden has beeo
lightened?
Has it reduced the taxes" on The
moor mans necesssries! If SO, how is
the sugar tax to be explained, which
siehes now cent for every pound o.
sugar he buys, with the prospect OF a
bigger steal later on!
Has it raised the taxes" on the rich
mans Inquiries? If so, point out the
raise. Is the lowering of the duty on
champagne and fine wines and numer'
Gus ether articles, to be considered as
favoring the rich or the poor?
Tue Chicago platform declared thai
the Federal Government has no RICH
to impose and collect tariff duties ex
cept for the purposes of revenue only.
viii any Democrat dare say that t''
German bill is party revenue bill!
The Chicago platform declared tina
the amount to he raised by tart
should be "lmited to the necessities
the government, honestly and economl
callv administered" Is not the Cor
man tariff law rather arranged to minis
fer to the trusts and combines, than
the revenues of the government?
presiden. Cleveland demanded fire
coal Is it not fact that bis torm(
Secretary of the Navy, William {
Whitney, organized a syndicate, whic
purchased large coal mines in Nov
Scotia, in expectation that coal wou
be put on the free list? And was n

Odious excise law which forced excise
boards on TO the prohibition counties
whose privilege it was to grant licenses
TO saloons and hotels.
These two odious measures cost tho
democrats the loss of the state in the
last election. But the holl.ovsr senators
who are, by the way, elected for three
years, claimed the right "a q continuous
body to organize the senate, and thus
determine upon the legal qualifications
of the newly elected senators. The strange
feature Of the case ia that though there
are but ten democrats who hold posses
sion Of the senate chamber, there are
eleven republicans who have organized
q counter senate in one Of the commit
tee rooms to the assembly chamber.
Now, while there is no question a. to
the legal right Of every senator to his
seat, still neither the senate, tho COVER
nor nor the courts have been able to de-
termine which Of the two bodies Ia the

Fruit Culture in Colorado.


The fruit growing industry Of Colo
RADIO has practically sprung into com
merCial Importance within Che past five
years. Yet twenty years ago, or longer,
@ limited amount Of fruits in still more
restricted area was successfully grown.
The peach belt on the Western Slope
was, little over eleven years ego, the
home Of the Ute Indian, and no white
man was allowed to till one foot Of what
is now occupied by productive fields and
orchards extending over q scope Of
country about sixty five miles long by
nearly ten miles in width. Il has been
proved that in attitudes ranging from
1850 to 1900 feet, all of the deoiduous
fruits flourish and yield abundantly in
that favored belt.
Results show that apples, prunes,
peaches, neCtarines, spricoIs, grapes,
Gncluding all Of the noted Cali
fOrnis vsrieties) plume, cherries, and
all the bush or small fruits are
exceedingly profitable, netting from
$500 TO $500 an acre, according to local
ity Rndskill in growing. Peach orchards
on ly eleven years old have borne eight
60 onsecutivs crops and offer an equally
good prospect for bearing again this
year. A warm trade wind or Chinook"
makes frost practically unknown between
the months Of March and November in
this locality.
On the eastern slope Of the state,
which takes in the territory lying north
and south between Canon City and
Fort Collins, and extending eastward for
distance Of over ninety miles, lies what
10 known as the apple belt, for the res-
son that the greatest success has been
attained in growing apples, though
many other kinds Of fruit also flourish
to q profitable extent. A case in point
illustrating this is the fact that one
grower in Canon City derived 1900 bar
rsls Of apples from Ave acres Of land and
they brought $500, or a trihe less than
an average Of $4 per barrel.
This is not an isolated example repre-
sentiDg the highest possible results, but
is given to show what can be done with
good average care in the right kind Of
soil. Right here it might be well to say
that clay sub-soil is very important in
the culture of apples End kindred fruits.
And without giving detailed analysis Of
soils it is q self evident proposition from
results already obtained over so large an
area in Colorado, separated by nearly 500
miles in an extreme east and west direc-
tion, that the state possesses limited
amount Of all the requisite kinds Of soil
demanded for the successful culture of
all the fruits above enumerated.
The census returns for the dscadeend-
ing 1890 shows that II, 1888 acres more Of
fruit were planted in Colorado during
that time than in the preceding decade,
with an increase of 264 per cent. in pro-
duotion. Yet the product OF 1893, 81, ,25O,-
900, was but email part Of the home
demand, and importstions to supply the
deficiency were made during that time
amounting to about s4,5O0,000, nearly
Onehsl Of which was for green and the
remainder for canned and dried fruits.
The fact that the area is limited on
which the kinds of fruit named can be

suits with the same money in tho same
length Of time, than in Oslifornia under
present conditions. An induBtrioug
prudent man, even without previous ex
peEienoe, can, with lees than 81, 600, MAXI
first payment on securing and planting
from twenty 10 forty acres Of the very
best land, that with ordinary caro- RnG
Judgment Will yield a net income inside
OF Eve years frCm date OF planting, oi
not less than $500 an acre on an average
The lgures already given show that this
is Q conservative estimate.
Illustrating the profits Of other fruits,
one man near Denver secured 81, 200 from
a single acre Of grapes, while another re-
Ceived $500 an acre from berries. Others
have received as high az $1,000 an acre
Another grower, within few miles Of
Denver, harvested from two acres 12C
barrels Of apples from tive-year.old trees
and 10000 quarts Of berries from TX
acres Of ground.
The favoritO varieties OF apples grown
are the BEN Davis, Missouri pippin,
wealthy, Alexander, Duchess Of Olden-
burgb, RsdAstrakan, Famsuse, Genitsn,
Jonathan and Wine Sag. The bright sun
and dry atmosphere Of Colorado give a
smoOthnesg, richness Of color and unsx-
Celled quality to all fruit grown here.
The prizes given Colorado grown fruit
Rt the worlds fair at Chicago are elo-
quent testamsnts that this statement ia
mot exaggerated. In pears, the popular
vsrities grown are the Bartlett, Duchess,
Flemish Reauty and Mount Vernon. OF
plums, the Imperial Gage, Early Red Rus
sian, Mclaughlin, Lombard and Shippers
Pride are the Ravorites. OtcouEse many
other kinds a-e the subject Of constant
experiment.
Though the year 1893 was the largest
on record in the matter Of trSe planting
one Arm alone near Denver setting out
5000 trees, yet for reasons already
stated the industry presents most at
tractive and profitable field to all whose
tastes arc in that direction.
Colorado is the home OF the Rocky
Mountain cherry, Buffalo berry, Red
plum, Junsberry, hucklebsrry, Red cur
rents and raspbsrries, thus showing We
are in the natural fruit belt Of the
United States. Almonds and 6gs are
also grown, but how successfully the eX-
psrimentS made have not been demon
strstsd, because 30 comparatively recent.
Our clear, bright atmosphere and Rb-
sence Of fogS permit Of sun.drying fruit
equal to svaporatsd.
Large or small planting Of the apricot
for drying alone offers q fine field for the
investor, for they command the highest
price and win for years to come. This
fruit bears very proliHcally and 1t is
growing in favor all over the world; in
fact, any OF the deCiduous fruits are At
home In Colorado and offer to the grower
quick and profitable returns.

make progress in the method of build
ing roads, not only for tn sake of bet
ter state highways, but also for the
purpose of giving advice and instruc-

At present there appears to be a
great waste of energy and substance
in patching up road beds. The tenden-
cy in most towns is to expend their an
nual road appropriation in half re-
pairing a large amount of highways,
without ever constructing even a small
amount of reallyfrst-c lass road.

most of those engaged had gathered in

down the room in his pedantic, POM

speeches of Fox and Sheridan, but say
ing not a word about Burke's.
Burke, sensitive at this omission,
and anxious for some commentator
from the great authority, could at
last contain himself no longer, and
burst out:

About the Osier Willow,

We do not doubt that the willow
crop a be grown successfully and
with profit, though prices of willow
have greatly declined within the past
ten years. 1t is important to get the
right kind of willow. The true osier
makes very long, slender shoots in a
single season and without branches.
A willow plantation in moist ground
will last for years, but care must be
taken to cut SO as to leave six to eight
or ten buds for next years growth. If
not cut down in the fall each bud on
the whole length of last years shoot
will make a short shoot and the plan
tation will be ruined, No matter how
low the price, the crop must be cut
and disposed of. 1t is likely that on
account of low prices a year ago some
plantations will be given up. The
willow is a very bulky crop and should
be grown near where it is to be manu-
factured.-Colman's Rural World.

A MIRACLE IN TEXAS.

(From the Texas Christian Advocate.)

(From the TeXaS CnrlStlan AQVOcat0.D
Our representative has made a careful in.
v~estigation of the Ii. E. Spaulding case at
Longview, which is here published for the
first time, and which will be read with great
interest by medical men everywhere. In
reply to the Christian Advocates questions
Mr.. Spaulding said: About eight years ago
while running a locomotive l contracted
sciatic rheumatism in my left side from
my hip down. 1t came on slow but sure
and in a few months l lost control en-
tirely Of thai member, it was just the same
as if it was paralyzed, l was totally unable
to move out Of my room for a year and q
half, six months Of which time l was bed
ridden. / tried every remedy suggested,
and had regular physicians in constant at
tendance on me. / was bundled up and sent
to Hot Springs where | spent three months
under the treatment Of the most eminent
specialists, all of which did me no good,
and | came back from the springs in a worse
condition than when l went. / came
home and laid fiat on my back and
suffered the most excruciating agonies,
screaming in pain every time any
body walked across the room, the only ease
I obtained being from the constant use of
opiates. After three months of this kind
OF agony, during which time my entire left
leg persisted away to the very bone, my at
tention was called to a new remedy called
DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People, by
Mr.. Allison who is now train dispatcher at
Texarkana, and who was relieved of loco
motor ataxia Of twenty years duration. At
his urgent and repeated solicitation | con-
sented to give them a trial, after taking a
few doses | began to improve. i continued
taking the pills and kept right on improving
until i was finally cured. Ny leg is just the
same size now as the other one, and l am
sure that Pink Pills not only cured me but
saved life.
The reporter next visited DR.. G.. Fl. STAINS
bury, a graduate Of one of the medical
schools of Kentucky, and a man who en-
joys the confidence of everybody in Long
view. He said Il know that Mr.. Spaulding
had a terribly severe attack Of Sciatic rheu-
matism of which | tried To cure him used
everything known To my profession ia vain
and finally recomm ended him TO go TO Hot
Springs. He came back from the springs
worse than when he went and | thought it
was only a matter of time until his heart
would be affected and he would die. ! also
know that his cure is the direct result Of
the use of DR.. Williams Pink Pills"
That is rather an unusual statement for
q regular physician to make, doctor"
- know it is, but a fact iS q fact, and
there are hundreds of people right here in
Longview who know what l say is the
truth. | also know Mr.. Allison and know
that he was relieved of a genuine and severe
case Of locOmotor ataxia Of twenty years
standing"
