A Republican Mania.

The suicidal mania affected the re-
publicans four years ago when they de-
vised the Mckinley bill, the Sherman
law and the force bill. Their defeat
in 1890 counted for nothing, and in 1892
they came up smiling, insisting that
the people did not know what they
were about before, and reasserting
their old claims to be the friends of
American labor and the only people fit
to govern the country. They were
beaten again, but have learned moth
ing. Having precipitated a panic of
the worst kind, they admitted that the
Sherman act caused the trouble, but as
soon as its repeal was effected straight
way denied what they had before as
serted, and are now relying on plain
mendacity fo- future success. They
manifest disposition to put up Mr..
Mckinley, one of the chief authors of
the prevailing distress, as their candi-
date for the presidency. The mania
for self-destruction is evidently still
strong upon them.-Louisville Courier
Journal

Gov. Mckinley paused in Chicago
long enough the other day to declare
that the Coxey movement on Washing
ton had no political significance. 1t
shows that the Mckinley law, de-
signed to make millionaires and
tramps, is "still talking"
Herald.
There is no loss of vitality in
democratic principles, and there can be
none as long as the teachings of Jeffer-
son are accepted and a great political
party remains to revere his memory.
Temporary adverse majorities of false
and delusive issues are not a test of the
genuine and lasting faith of the peo-
pie. The majorities will come right as
a clearer intelligence prevails in the
popular mind, and as the progress of
truth is accelerated by appropriate in
strumentalit' es.-Chicago Herald.
There is significance in the re-
ply of the citizens of Tell City, Ind, to
a Mckinley interlocutor that distance
cannot blunt or partisanship distort
out of its meaning. The inhabitants
of that town are either manufacturers,
workingmen or merchants, all interde-
pendent and most of them of Swiss de-
scent Formerly they voted the reppb-
lican ticket to man. Recently poll
was taken of the town, and, notwith-
standing the depression and general
unrest which have been stimulated to
the fullest extent by republican calam-i
ity howlers, the invariable answer was
that protection had done nothing to
raise wages or maintain them, and that
public faith in the principle Of tar1h
reform had suffered no change since Its

QUEER PLANTS USED AS FOOD.

Little-Known Vegetables and Edible In
sects Found In Prairie Sections.
At the department of agriculture in
Washington. hidden away in an obscure
corner, is an odd sort of exhibit of
queer foods eaten by out-of-the-way
people. There is loaf of bread made
from the roasted leaves of a plant al
lied to the century plant. Another
kind of bread is fl ON a dough of juni-
per berries. These are relished by
some tribes of Indians, while others
manufacture cakes out of different
kinds of bulbs. The prairie Indians
relish dish of wild turnips, which
civilized people would not be likely
to enjoy at all. In the great American
desert the ''screw beans" which
grow on mesquite bushes, are utilized
for food. Soap berries furnish an
agreeable diet for some savages in this
country, while in California the cop
per-colored aborigines do not disdain
the seeds of salt grass. Also in Cali
fornia the Digger Indians collect pine
nuts, which are the seeds of a certain
species of pine-sometimes called ''pin-
ions''-by kindling fires against the
trees, thus causing the nuts to fall out
of the cones. At the same time a
sweet gum exudes from the bark, serv-
ing the purpose of sugar. The seeds
gourds are consumed in the shape of
mush by the Indians of Arizona.
In addition to all these things, the
exhibit referred to includes jar of
pulverized crickets, which are eaten in
that form by the Indians of Oregon.
They are roasted, as are likewise grass
hoppers and even slugs. These delica-
cies are cooked in a pit, being arranged
in alternate layers with hot stones.
After being thus prepared. they
are dried and ground to powder. They
are mixed with pounded acorns or ber-
ries. the -four made in this way being
kneaded into cakes and dried in the
sun. The Assiniboines used a kind of
seed to stop bleeding at the nose.
Among other curious things used for
food are acorns, sunfower-seeds, grape
seeds, flowers of cat-tails, moss from
the spruce fir-tree and the blossoms of
wild clover. The exhibit embraces q
number of models representing grape
seeds enormously enlarged. 1t is &C
tually possible to tell the species OF
grape by the shape of the seed. There
is a jar of red willow bark, which In
dams mix with tobacco for the sake of
economy. This, however, is only one
of thousand plants that are utilized
in similar fashion. -Washington Star.
