developed quite rapidly But no one need think he can rush into ginseng culture and make a fortune in one or two years Setting few roots or sow ing few seeds, and giving it no turth- CT attention, will never develop ginseng culture on a paying basis. It won't spread over your ground like weeds
 To my mind the business is best suited to the small farmer and market gardener. s
 A Chinaman came to Boston few years ago wanting five hundred tons of ginseng-he succeeded in getting about four hundred pounds. This is the way we are supplying the demand. The ex- ports of ginseng from the United States during ten years, lSSp-1891, amounted to nearly eight million dol lars-an item of some importance. This valuabl source of income will soon be thing of the past, unless an effort is made to develop its cultiva- tion, as the wild plant is fast being ex- hausted in this country.
 Ginseng is native in China, Tartary and Korea. It has been cultivated in Korea for hundreds of years. It is a royal monopoly, cultivated under li- cense. and the value of the crop is esti- mated at five hundred thousand dollars a year.
 am often asked how can we get started in ginseng culture. My advice to all is to go into the forest, gather the wild roots and transplant them. A year for few years will give a good start

to business and beginning to feel the results of the stagnation throughout the country which has been the inevi- table outcome of twenty -thFeesyears of the gold policy-a policy not of laws but of men, a policy of administra- tion not made by the laws, but by die tation of great interests. A policy which has sacrificed the productive in- terests of the country to those engaged in promoting the floating of great debts.
 People talk about the silver craze" ," the "greenback craze and all sorts of crazes, but The Financial News ar gues that the country is suffering the natural results of the bond craze which has run up to S2O,0OO, 900 ,O0O, under financial policy which has cut down the earning power of the people, restricted their exchanges and reduced to zero the net earnings of producers. It is out of these net earnings alone that good business can be made for our vast railway system-half that of the world-and at the bottom every dollar of debt created on railways and on every other interest of the country, must be paid out of net earnings of producers. No net earnings means no pay. The quicker the country drops the business of educating itself on a theory that a continuation of the pol icy of further piling up interest bear ing debt on terms which restrict our power to earn money to meet interest and principal, or that fastening upon ourselves a policy that cripples our powers of production and exchange is good thing for existing securities, the quicker we will get on the road to better times, to conditions which i'm prove the incomes of 75, 5,OOO,OOO of peo- pie, and then we can improve the in- comes of all their institutions.

THE REAL ISSUE IN ARIZONA.

The three political parties have in their National conventions declared for statehood for the territories If these conventions were dn earnest Ar. izona ought to be admitted at the next session of congress.
 But notwithstanding the declaration of the conventions the people must bestir themselves if they expect ad mission. We will not be admitted without an earnest effort. In order that no mistake be made in this re- spect it is about time that a suitable man was selected for delegate to con- gress who should make it his sole and only duty to see that the territory is admitted. But he should not be com pelled to work unaided. He should have the assistance of a good and strong lobby composed of representa- lives of all the political parties. That is the way Utah and other states have secured the passage of their admis- sion bills, and we believe that the next congress will certainly admit Arizona if the people go at it in sys- tematic way.
 One of the greatest booms Arizona could have at present is statehood, and with the people united on that issue alone 1t ought to win. It is under stood that Delegate Murphy will not be candidate for reelection, so it is likely that the next delegate will be @ new man, but after all ia new broom sweeps clean," and if it is understood that statehood is all that will be asked or expected of the next delegate he will succeed providing he possesses the energy and ability necessary to accomplish so important a work
 Arizona has no voice dn the presiden- dial contest, so that the views of the people of the territory can have no eff feet upon the result. But we have a voice in the selection of a delegate and can have great influence towards se- curing an early admission to the Union of States.
 If some of the energy that Is being wasted on the National campaign was utilized in local affairs it would be better for all concerned.
 A silver Republican is just as good as a silver Democrat and could prob ably come nearer securing the passage of a bill through the senate. where the silver Republicans hold the balance of power. than any other man.
 The local issue is statehood-it can not possibly be anything else. Now let us drop National politics long enough to attend the matters nearer home. Then in the next presidential contest Arizona may have a voice.

 John Moriarty, known all over east ern Maine as Barney Kelley's Giant" died in Oldtown hospital recently of typhoid fever, says the Lewiston Even ing Journal. He has been for nearly two years employed as construction hand on the Bangor & AroostOok rail road, and later on the new Ashland branch, where he became sick.
 Moriarty stood 6 feet 9A inches in his stocking feet, and generally weighed 24O pounds. Had he been fat his weight would have been enormous. But he was very lean. "Why," said Barney Kelley. you could feed the giant on porterhouse steak and eggs and he wouldn't gain a pound; but he was an awful tough mani"
 His arms were very long and he had hands as powerful as the paws of a gorilla All over his body the muscles stood out in Jumps and cords. and his strength was immense. lie could do as much work as two ordinary men, and on that account his services were al- ways in demand at more than common wages. He was especially serviceable as a derrick man-he could turn the heavy crank all day without tiring An ax was like a toy in his hands. a cant-dog like a walking stick. He could up end and shoulder small log or piece of timber that two ordinary men could barely lift, and in every department of hearty manual labor he was a very Hercules.
 Many stories are told of the giants mighty strength. Once, when two saucy woodsmen "guyed" him about his towering height, he seized them by the shoulders, one in each hand, and knocked their heads together till their teeth rattled-e-and they were two good sized men.
 At another time some toughs came into a barroom where he was and pro- ceeded to ''clear the place out" Mori- arty took them, two at time, and pitched them half way across the street as though they were so many ninepins.

 Improper and deficient care of the scalp will cause grayness of the hair and badness. Escape both by the use of that reliable specific, Halls Hair Remover.
 There is no scarcity Of preparations for the hair, but unquestionably the one which ranks highest in point of merit is Ayers Hair Vigor. It is made from the choicest materials and on strictly scientific principles. It does | not soil nor become rancid by exposure to the air, and is as perfect a substi- ute for the oil supplied by nature, in youth and health, as modern chem 1stry can produce. It softens and stim- ulates the hair and scalp, revives and strengthens weak and disordered tis- sues, restores the original color to faded and gray hair, prevents the for nation of dandruff, cures humors which destroy the hair-roots, renders the skin healthy, moist, and active, and the hair soft, silky, lustrous, and abundant. Gray hair, one of the most noticeable indications of age, may he postponed for many years by the daily and faithful use of this admirable prep- aration. Give it trial. Gentlemen as well as ladies prefer Ayers Hair Vigor to any other dressing and consid- CT their toilet incomplete without it.
