President Cleveland and the Party He Rep
resents Largely Observation-Disclosures
tory Phrases From the Democratic Plat
form Incite Disorder.
President Cleveland course in regard
10 the strike and labor troubles has
been, and very properly, commended BY
wise statesmen irrespective of party. 1t
was a solemn duty to uphold the hands
of the president i'll enforcement OF law
in such a crisis, but are not President
Cleveland and the party he represents
largely responsible for this spirit of de-
iance to law and order and dissatis-
faction with everything which has Ii
the past tended TO produce peace and
plenteous prosperity? Are not the con-
slant complaints and vicious attacks
upon existing conditions, the violent and
unrSlsoning terms in which they have
been characterized and criticised for par
tisan purposes, largely responsible for
the feeling which now pervades many
ignorant minds?
Never was there put before the Amer
lean people in the history OF American
politics or American craftsmanship such
q series of vile, vicious and slanderous
attacks upon legislation and laws and
lawmakers as have been contained in
the national platform of the Democratic
party as adopted III the last campaign
and in Mr.. Cleveland's letters OF accept
ance and messages TO congress. The
u~tterances of these documents have not
only had a tendency TO create dissatis-
faction and unrest III the minds OF mil
lions of people who have not opportu-
nifty or facilitiesfor becoming thoroughly
acquainted with the facts, and by theiI
MISREPRESENTATION and infiammatory
statements and indirect appeals have
been of themselves sufficient to incite
distrust, suspicion, open complaint and
finally rebellion against the laws of the
country.
Here are some sentences and parts of
sentences from the Democratic platform
and from Mr.. Cleveland's own utter
ances. While they are disconnected. no
man can read them without seeing that
they not only create false and unjust
impressions regarding patriotic legisla-
ton and the laws Of the country, but
must have a tendency 10 create intense
dissatisfaction with law and existing
conditions in the minds of a class of I'M
thinking people, the very class whose
course in the last few weeks has endan-
gered peace and threatened the very
safety of our country and its institu-

n PEAR MlDGE.
The Damage Done by This Pest and the
Best Way to Hold 1t In Check.


The pear nudge is one of the insects
which have been introduced into the
United States within recent years and
are causing a good deal of injury in the
eastern states.
The adult insect or fly is described as
much resembling a diminutive mosqui-
to. It makes its appearance very early
in the season before the pear blossoms
open. The female deposits her eggs in
the latter by piercing the petals OF the
calyx. The nudge Larvae 1--we on the
substance of the pear tissue, destroying
the seed and checking the growth of the
fruit, which decays and drops IN early
summer. Our illustration shows a sound
young pear and one deformed by the pear
nudge larvae.
The great difficulty encountered in
fighting this insect lies in the fact that
there is no period at which it is within
reach Of ordinary insecticides. The eggs
are laid in the bid before ii opens, and
The young Larvae get into the heart of
the fruit before it is fully formed. The
adult fly does not feed and is hence be-
yond our reach. 1t is only after the in
jury is done that the insect goes under
ground and within reach of destructive
agencies.
As a preventive measure it is recon-
mended that the trees be examined as
soon as the pears are well set and that
every infested or suspected pear be
picked off and completely destroyed,
while if an orchard is generally infested
the following practice is recommended.
Cultivate as usuat, OF az the orchard
is in grass or clover piow under after
june 10 as o o as may be. Top dress
with kainit 600 pounds { the acre to
benefit trees as we'll as to kill the in
sects. As soon as proper, say early in
August, SOW crimson clover. This will
use up the potash not required by the
fruit trees and will store nitrogen as
we'll as occupy the ground. Early the
following spring turn this sod under as
deeply as may be proper. IL should be
done before the pear buds are developed
IN order TO head off AID destroy any
midges then in the pupa state near the
surface OF the soil. This practice is OF
the same time the best for the benefit Of
the orchard. st. Louis POST Dispatch.

United States market excess. S4,oS5.8'3,F3'
The policy of the free trade party is
70 throw our American market-worth
s11, 6O4, 973, 1877 in 1890-open to the
competition of the farmers and manu-
f~acturers of all other nations, while we
strive to secure their markets, all OF
which put together are worth 4,O30,-
973. 1877 less than u own home market.
Is it not best to retain the good home
market that we already possess, also
striving to cease buying the $7T3, 674,-
8l2 worth Of foreign goods that we con-
sumo, and t % produce these goods for
ourselves, if we can, rather than TO
throw away what we are sure of and take
chances in securing a portion OF the
smaller markets of the rest Of the world
in open competition with the cheap Ia
Dor of Europe, of Asia, of Africa, OF
Canada. of Central and South America,
and of the savage labor of the islands OF
the sea?
Such is the policy of protection. But
the free trade policy is to give our mar
kets to the cheap labor countries and to
compete with the cheap labor in their
smaller markets. We already consume
over 81, 900, 900, 900 worth of goods
more than they can buy from Us. Let us
keen our own trade first. Always vote
for protection.

Catch Questions.

If goose weighs 10 pounds and a
half its own weight, what Is the weight
of the goose? Who has not been tempt
ed to reply on the instant 10 pounds? :?
the correct answer being, of course, 20
pounds. 1t is astonishing what very
simple query will sometimes catch a
wise man mapping. Even the follow
ing have been known to succeed:
How many days would it take To cut
up a piece of cloth 80 yards long, one
yard being cut off every day.
\ snail climbing up a pole % feet
high ascends five feet every day and
slips down for every night. How long
will the snail take to reach the top of
the post?
A wise man having window one
yard high and one yard wide, requiring
more light, enlarged his window To
twice its former size, yet the window
was only one yard high and one yard
wide. How was this done?
This is catch question i'm geometry,
as the preceding were catch questions
in arithmetic. The window was dia-
mond shaped at first and was afterward
made square.
As to the two former, perhaps it is
scarcely necessary seriously topoint out
that the answer 10 the first is not 80
days, but 40, and to the second not %
days, but Is, since the snail who gains
one foot each day for l5 days on the
sixteenth day gets to the top of the pole
and here remains.-Patsb1g Dispatch.

No Comfort.

One of the first clever speeches set
down to the credit of Lord Macaulay
belongs TO his very early days, and
must have been entirely spontaneous.
When he WAS in Trinity College he at
tended "a Cambridge election, where
the mob, with the freedom peculiar Ia
British voters, were hustling the sue
cessful candidate.
Missiles of all sorts were flying about,
and Macaulay's ar,lor for public life
may have been somewhat cooled 10y the
dead eat which he received full in the
face. The man who had thrown it
apologizcd profusely, and assured him
that he had only mistaken his aim.
"The eat was meant for Mr.. Adeane, u
said he.
''Then," said Macaulay, ruefully. 81
wish you had meant it for me and hit
Mr.. Adeane ~

Meats That Are Dangerous.

Animal foods are not generally con.
ducive to good color or a fine complex
ion. Milk, eggs, butter and cheese arr
exceptions.
Meat once day is sufficient for all
children, and for all women who pre-
fer the spiritual to the sensual type OF
beauty. The school of vegetarians
may not be famous for its Venuses OI
Apollos, but it is not large contribu-
tor To the freak museums.
Many meats are positively danger
ous. For instance, only giant eonsti'
tutions have the muscular ability to
digest fresh pork. Undigested Ii Is a
fruitful source of dyspepsia, tuberculo'
sis, scrofula, gastric fever, NERVOUSNESS,
and, in fact, all the diseases resulting
from inflammation of the gastric sys-
tenn. Fresh pork Is not a safe food for
any woman To eat, unless she runs a
ranch, n steamboat, farm, or IL en-
gagged in some equally active pursuit
necessitating outdoor life and muscular
exertion. Even ham and bacon of the
choicest ''cure' need the publication
of fire. Veal is another bad meat un-
less cooked to shreds, and rare mutton
is under suspicion.
While beef is the most nutritious OF
meats properly served, ii is often 80
badly served a. To uselessly tax the di-
gestive organs. Much of the hash is
no better than stewed brown paper,
and the fried steak and corned beef Of
the average home dinner would do the
consumer far more good in the garbage
box. Foods that I'll the stomach and
foods that feed or nourish 1t are not the
same. The value OF the meat is In the
juice and nothing else counts.
That il why the trained nursery
maids who get $50 month To keep III
fant heirs of complicated estates from
dying, and 20 annulling legal dOcu-
ments, never allow the tots to swallow
a morsel of coarse meat, rs beef and
mntton are called. There is more nu-
triton i'm a piece of broiled steak the
size of a spool of thread than in a five.
pound piece of picked and smoked
beef.

Marriage Maxims.

Never taunt with pat mistake.
Never both be angry at the same
time.
Never meet without loving well
come.
Never allow a request 10 be repeated.
Let self-denial be the daily aim and
practice of each.
Never LET the sun go down upon any
anger or grievance.
Never talk at one another, either
alone or in company.
Neglect the whole world besides
rather than one another.
Let each one try TO yield oftenest to
the wish of the other.
Never make remark at the expense
of the other-it is meanness.
Never sigh over what might have
been, but make the best of what il.
Never part for the day without low
ing words 10 think of during absence.
Never find fault, unless ii is perfectly
certain that fault has been committed
and then speak lovingly.
The very nearest approach to dones-
tie happiness on earth is i'm the cultiva.
ton on both sides of absolute unselfish-
ness.

After Dinner Orators.

Lord Co!eridge had record ~ the
best English after dinner speaker who
ever came 10 America. As 4 rule, the
English does not shine pOstprandially
In comparison with the average Ameri-
can Of the same grade IN law, politics,
literature, the drama or journalism.
Most of them, in fact, are dire failures.
Coleridge and Irving are the shining
exceptions. Sergeant Ballantyne, who
came with great flourish Of trumpets
and was received with much cOrdiality
by his professional brethren, was the
worst that we ever had to endure.
Martin Farquhar Topper was insuilera-
hly dull. Toole, the comnledian, who
was considered funny on the other side,
was luguhrious here. It took several
seasons To break i'm Wilson Barrett.
Lord Aberdeen is genial, but prosy.
Dickens was the hest man who pre-
eeded Coleridge, but tn the present gen
Grafton of diners he il only tradition
aud does not count. Sir Richard Web
ster, fancy, would have shown HIM
self a good second To Lord Coleridge,
but his visit here was short, and very
few had the pleasure OF hearing him.
! had that pleasure here a. well n in
England, and he certainly has re-
markablc facility of expression COM
bined with fine vocabulary, keen
sense OF humor and a thorough knowl-

worn it in the memory of friends whom
he met here to this day.-Chicog0 In

"Yes, madam that depends some

Detective and Tramp

There was in the traiilrs appearance
suggestion of the lethargy that fol-
lows a gorging with free lunch and co
pious libations of beer that belied his
piteous story of not having had any
thing to eat since yesterday morning.
The shades of night were falling fast,
and that may have to some extent ac-
counted for the mistake of the bum in
selecting as the object Of his whining
appeal McClusky, one of the best
known of the Central Office Detectives,
who was sleuthing it along the bow
cry.
"You are shy dinner and supper for
yesterday, and breakfast dinner and
supper to-day. Come with me-" said
McClusky, and he led the way into a
greasy little beanery from the door of
which hung dingy sign announcing
regular meals, cents. Had the va
grant known what was i'm store for
him he would have never crossed the
threshold except under forcible persua-
sion. "Give this man his yesterdays
dinner said MeClusky.
A slice of boiled beef, boiled potato
two slices of bread and a cup of mud
DIV coffee We're soon set up. Slowly the
tramp attacked the meal, and Me
Clusky waited. When the dishes
were clean, the detective beckoned to
the waiter and said:
"Bring the gentleman last nights
supper"
The order was repeated. The tramp
began TO suspect something, but he
thought il the better to act his part.
Perhaps his eccentric benefactor give
him the price of a bed. Vain hope:
The supper disposed of, McClusky
ordered the gentleman's breakfast.
''See here, pardy, 1 never eats but
one meal day." the latter demur-
red.
at is not enough. You told me you
were starving, and of an officer of the
New York police forse it shall never
be said that be allowed a fellow man
to starve" And the detective display
ed his badge.
"Supposin' | won't eat?" said the
tramp sullenly.
"Then you take a ride. See?'
The trapped bum saw, and he ate his
breakfast, and then in great agony he
managed to dispose of his dinner. Ma
ture would stand no more.
''See here, pardy. | couldn't eat any
more, not if got two years for il, he
pleaded in genuine distress.
McClusky had had his fun, and he
excused his victim the supper. As the
tramp rolled torpidly out of the place
he paused at the door, and with muir
derous CLEAN in his eye said hoarsely,
"rll get even wild you for dis, you big
