HAS ENJOYRR HTNISRLF.

A great many rich people have not en- joyed themselves thoroughly the past winter. They have been affected by the general depression and gloom. They have seen their own fortunes shrinking. And they have been obliged to notice that many of their fellow men and women have been suffering. This has made them thought ful and they have been less gay than usual. But there Is one rich man who has had a pleasant winter in spite of the hard and sad times. He is Nathan Strsus, of New York, who early in the winter opened g store in Grand street and sold coal, sugar, coffee and tea, bread and -four at cost to the poor. His store is now closed, but since Decem- Der 30. when it opened. he sold more than 6,G0O tons of coal and 21S tens of sugar, with 333, GOO pounds of bread, 235. .O00 pounds of -four, 7e, GOO pounds of tea and 52 900 pounds of coffee.

THE PROGRESS OF THE PRANU,

A III n nv" GSS oR U
 This is not such an unohsritable and malicious world as it seems to come. But it does run to extremes. This tendency is seen when @ person or @ thing who or which has been rather despised and re- jeeted Is suddenly blown upon by the wind of popular favor. When such e change comes the wind of popular favor Is apt to blow fully as strongly ss the other wind did. When such Q wind is blowing toward a person 1t Is interesting to notice how many virtues and graces that person has which could not formerly be discovered and how friendly and sppreoiative the kind old world is. And 1t Is the same with things as with persons. Popular favor makes strange changes in the reputation of some things. Take, for instance, the tomato. which not many years ago was looked upon as unfit for food, ss provocative of cancer, etc., etc. Now it moves in the midst of the best Society and graces alike the banquet halle of the nobility and the kitchens of the poor. And 1t is also now considsred geod for the blood.
 We are moved to these reflections by contemplating the progress of the peanut. The peanut has been mildly disreputable. It hss been most at home in low society, and though it's merits have been dimly perceived by some of those who make public opinion they have not trumpeted them, but have contented themselves with steslthy recognition of them. Now, however, the wind of popular favor is changing, and soon nothing will be too good to say of the peanut. It will be openly recognised ss the friend and helper of man, and its early career will bs looked on as are the youthf ul eccentIicities of men and women who become popular fsvorites after being come. thing else. Already 1t Is we'll established that there Is more to the peanut than has been thought And as we were among the earliest to see the change in the wind and get on the right side, 1t gives us pleasure to see our sagacity vindicated. The latest is that the peanut has extraordinary nutri- tive value. A comparison of the five leguminous articles peas, white beans, lentils, sofa beans and peanut grits - shows the food value of q kilogram of these, ss measured
 in units of nutrition, to ascend in the or.
 der given from 1, ,720 for the first to the re.
 markable figure of 8. lS4 for the last men
 tioned. A comparison of twelve principa, animal and vegetable food materials dem onstrates that the cost of 1 900 units O, nutrition in peanut meal is only thre'
 cents, making 1t by far the cheapest of th'
 list. From its richness in protein and 1t
 low proportion of carbohydrates this foot
 Is said to bs especially adapted to the us of persons suffering from obesity.

EVERY THURSDAY MORNING. Single Copies 5 cents.

A CURIOUS SCHEME.
 That is an interesting and unselAsh scheme which the leading Republican papers of this State have been cordially invited to advance. They have been be- sought to help boom the circulation of New York papers in Connecticut in the interest of the Republican party. Of course they will not swallow this bait. They are doing all they can for the party In their own columns, and doing 1t quite as we'll as any outside pspers could. And they are entitled to support in their work from the Republicans of the State. The moro support they have tEe more effective they will be. And 1t Is better that each of the Republican papers of the State should be efficient and infuen- tial in fits own locality than for New York paper to be spread all over the State. The echeme is a curious one, and doesn't take into account the local interests of the Re- publican party in Connecticut, nor the in- terasts of the Republican papers which are doing good work for the party, and which deserve all the support they are likely to ook

Heavy consignments Of fruit trees
and shrubbery have lately been ship
ped in for the farmers around Prince
ton. Some very fine specimens Of ap-
pies were on exhibition at the county
fair, and as to the smaller fruits, es-
pecially in the berry line, there is no
part of the Northwest that excels this
region. Black berries, raspberries,
strawberries, whortleberries and many
other varieties thrive and yield most
abundantly. In some localities, the
raspberry is cultivated and gives a
good remuneration to the gardener.
Many farmers cultivate the luscious
strawberry, and always find ready
market at good prices. !Currants,
and gooseberries thrive we'll and yield
well. Throughout the country, there
are many fine rows growing, and every
year, the farmers are identifying their
home surroundings by starting in with
such valuable shrubbery or adding
yearly to what is already growing. A
caution for the buyers is the selection
of company who sell just what they
represent and send out nothing but the
very best varieties. That should be
carefully considered, and the purchase
of good goods, the object.

VICTORY.
huked.

The returns from all the States
in which elections were held, Tues
day, show a falling into line by
maiorities that demonstrate the
feelings of the great mass toward
the political work Of the party who
have held the reins for the last two
years. Minnesota stood true to
her interests, and rolled up Re-
publican plurality for her honest
old governor that will exceed the
most sanguine expectations. The
entire entire State ticket is elected,
and the next delegation to con-
gress will be seven Republicans.
The legislature is all right, and as
sures the election of a United
States senator. Populism has re-
ceived a stunning blow, and this
hydra headed excrescence from
the lowest dregs Of political abor-
tons will never again be factor
in a political campaign. Anarchy,
revolt and ruin, are the underly-
ing principles of this, the worst
political party that has ever ap-
peared on the field. of political
action. 'sWhen comes such
another?" Never, perhaps, in polit
ical annals, will there arise another
such a piece of crankism
It is finished. The good sense Of
the true American citizens has as

THURSDAY MORNING. The death
knell of Populism and crankism
has been sounded in Minnesota.
Gallant Knute Nelson and entire
Republican ticket is elected by
from twenty-five to thirty-fve
thousand majority. The intelli-
gent Democrats contributed not a
little to the grand result. Mile
Laos county did her duty and
added 100 to Gov. Nelson's plu-
rality. Despite the fight made
against Nelson and Dunn by the
pine ring and their parasites, these
two candidates lead the ticket.

The Election in Mile Laos.

There were over. 1900 votes
polled in Mile Laos county, 491
of which we're cast in Princeton.
This is an increase of 400 over two
years ago. The Republican State
ticket, especially the Republican
candidates for governor and audi
tor received a splendid endorse
ment. Nelson's plurality over
Owen will be almost 700, and
Dunn will have $50 more than
Biermann. Towne will have a
plurality of 500 over Baldwin.
The legislative ticket was badly
slashed in this county, especially
in Princeton, where Frank New
