They have certainly made extraordinary

There is much silly twaddle going the
rounds that the three hundred Republi-
cans employed by Samuel Bancroft, Jr.
are mutually pledged to support him for
Congress,
The proposition that Samuel Bancroft,
Jr., owns the elective franchises OF his
employees is preposterous. With party
lines as tightly drawn as they are at
present It is safe to assert that Mr.
Bancroft will not run twenty-five votes
ahead Of the ticket In his own hundred.
His Republican employees do not owe Mr..
Bancroft their elective franchises. He
has become Independently rich from their
labor while they continue to work for
him ten hours day for from SIS to $40 a
week.
They owe him nothing but an honest
days work. They may rest assured
that when their labor becomes unre-
munerative to Mr., Bancroft he will not
consider himself under any obligation to
them

Queer Plant in Ecuador.

Some years ago the state department
at Washington received, through the
minister from Ecuador to the United
States. specimens of a plant known as
cundurango, found in the province Of
Loya. in Ecuador. to which marvellous
qualities in curing cancer were as
cribed. The physicians in South Amer
lea experimental on this substance and
reported most marvellous cures. Its
virtues are said to have been discov-
cred by accident. An Indian had been
suffering fearfully for long time from
internal cancer. and his wife undertook
to relieve him by shortening his life by
poison. For this purpose she selected
the cundurango. making decoction of
the bark. To her astonishment the
first dose seemed to benefit the patient.
and by continuance of this remedy he
was completely cured in a short time.
