THE CUPEY. :.
A West Indian Tree That Grows from
Tree Tops. # -

A West Indian Tree That Grows from
Tree Tops -
The cupey, or, as it is sarcastically
called in the English possessions, "the
attorney" is one of the most curious
as it is certainly the most picturesque
denizen of the virgin forests of the
West Indian island, says London It'd
Bits. It belongs to the parasitical fam
lily OF trees or plants, but, terrible to
relate, it invariably with the basess
ingratitude destroys all life in the un-
fortunate tree that cherishes it in it's
early growth. The seeds are borne on
the wings of the wind, and deposited
on the branches of other trees when
they burst into roots, which are dropped
toward the ground all around the
nurse tree. In time these roots reach
the ground and strike into the soil.
From this moment the roots grow
stronger and stronger until they re-
semble lot of rope ladders thrown
over the tree. Next the parasite sends
down great cord, which twines round
the trunk of the supporting tree, at first
as though in loving embrace, but it
grows tighter and tighter, eventually
srangling its benefactor out Of exist
ence. The nurse" tree thus killed rots
to decay, and from the immense fibrous
roots Of the destroyer now springs a
great trunk, which rises high into the
air. When the cupey is full grown il
presents magnificent spectacle, for
the oord-like roots rise often to so or
60 feet, and support in midair the vast
tree itself.

The Result of the Battle.

The great battle is over. But up to
the time Of going to press we have been
unable to learn the result of the election
outside of Cook county. In Cook county
Bryan, Lind and Towne received good
majorities and their major1ties would
have been considerable larger If it were
left exclusively to the people Of Cook
county We may safely say that one
half the votes cast for the Republican
national ticket were cast by men, most
u form West Superior, who came into
the county for the purpose of voting.
Most of them hold homesteads in Cook
county and find it to their convenience
TO visit their homesteads at election time
and to vote here in order to place them
selves on record as being residents Of
Cook county, although many OF them
don't spend ten days in the county dur
ing the year.
Although the Democrat Peoples ma
tlonal, state and congressional tickets re-
ceiYed large majorities the four princi-
pal county Offices we're carried off by the
G Republicans. This result was brought
about by means which suggest the re-
mark that there is more disgrace in dis
honorable victory than in honest defeat.
The fight over the county commissions
ership in the Second district was q pref
ty piece OF business. Some OF the very
men who placed Il. J. Braun in nomina-
ton at the Peoples party county conven-
ton were the strongest supporters Of
Gust Olson, who, after being delegate
to the Peoples county convention, be-
came candidate, at the request Of the
Republicans. Those men had the power
to have nominated Mr.. Olson at the CON
vention but they didn't do SO because, as
they admit. they knew that between
County Commas Scott and Gust
Olson the latter wouldn't stand ghost
OF show, so they nominated Mr.. Braun
and then With the assistance OF several

TINS observation from the Mem
phis Commercial appeal is very APP
propriate.
The Democratic party is not yet
ready to abandon its own integrity
and National solidarity It's in ne
such distress as would cause il to
abandon its traditions and prinei-
pies and follow new flag and, il
it were looking for leadership, it is
not at all likely that 50 mercuriaI
and unstable a party as the Popu-
lites would be chosen.
As to Senator Buffers contention
that the agitation of the silver ques-
ton should continue for the next
four years, the only reply to such a
proposition is Rats with a pro
longed and laundering accent On
sonant frlcative. The country has
had enough financial agitation, and
what is needed now is neace and an
opportunity to work The Buffers,
Tillmans and other professional
agitators must go into retirement.
The sounds Of industry must take
place of the spell-binders sonorous
righteousness, 50 that the Nation
may recuperate from It's long period
of suspended activity In due time

be raised aud joined, but as long as
possible spare Us from the blighting
