standing desire of President Cleveland
and agreed to retire. He will go upon
the retired list at the close of this
term of the Supreme court, if he keeps
the promise he made recently to the

nation that the name of Justice
Fields successor has been practically
agreed upon in the person of Judge
Erskine M. Ross, whom President
Cleveland in his first term appointed
on the United States Circuit Bench in
the State of California. Judge Ross
nomination will be satisfactory to
Justice Field. Senator White brought
about the reconciliation between the

MECHANICAL INSECTS,

There is an English insect something
like our bee, except that it is rick
violet in color, which well deserves its
name of carpenter bee. By the aid of
n ch1sel provided by nature this bee ex-
cavates a home in any piece of timber
that suits it's purpose.
Not only do wasps make paper, but
even cardboard. In South America
there is species of wasp that manu-
features a cardboard SO smooth and
firm that it may be written or drawn
upon, and it is in one way superior to
the article made by man, as it is water
proof
Some large beetles are as good as cir
cmar saws. They seize a branch or
twig with their deeply-toothed jaws
and whirl around and around until the
twig is sawed off. They have been
known to saw a twig as large as an
ordinary walking-stick in this manner.
There are other insects that use saws
which are much better made, finished
and sharpened than the finest ones of
steel. With these the little workers
undertake jobs that, proportionately
no man would dream of attempting.
The saw-hy, which owns the neatest in.
strument of this sort, cuts a perfect
groove in wood

All Ready for the Result.

After tomorrow the political atmoS-
phere will be cleared and the result of
the greatest battle of ballots that the
world has ever known will be recorded
1t is almost certain fact that every in
telligent citizen has already decided
upon which side of the contest he will
array himself, and anything that may
be said or done between now and to-
morrow evening will not have much in
lluence on the average voter.
Since the day Bryan was placed in
nomination, the country from one end
to the other has rung with the praise
and condemnation of the two principal
nominees for president, and the plat
forms upon which they stand have been
lauded and assailed with such vigor as
the country never saw before.
1t has been, in reality. campaign of
education in so far as it was possible to
make it by those who accepted the
declarations made by the Democratic
party at Chicago. The press, public
speakers and individuals who have up
held that platform have met every issue
honestly, fearlessly and openly, and
have defended their own side with argu-
mentS unanswerablc
On the part of Bryan and those who
are with him, there has been no evasion.
no subterfuge, no double-meaning
phrases nor glittering generalities used
in expressing their convictions. Every
speech, whether delivered by the great
leader or by the humble backwoodS
stump-speaker, as well as the editorials
of the press of the new Democracy, have
been straight, explicit and of the kind
which could not be misunderstood.
About all that can now be done is to
get the voters to the polls and await the
verdict. That it will be favorable to
the cause espoused by William Jennings
Bryan is the only estimate or prediction
that the TRIBUNE can make. Our faith
in the ability of the majority of the
American voters to discern upon which
side their interests lie is too strong to
allow us to think that any other result
is possible.
The odds against the Democratic can
didates are tremendous, in fact they are
fearful to contemplate. 1t is claimed by
the Democrats and conceded by the Re
pubicans, that the allied monied powers
and monopolies of the civilized world
are working necessarily and using every
known means to accomplish the defeat
of Bryan and Democratic candidates for
congress.
Notwithstanding this, the TRIBUNE
cannot believe that the American work
men and farmers will disgrace the noble
title of American citizenship at a time
when its privileges and all it represents
are in greater danger than any time in
the history Of the United States. That
American manhood will rise in its might
tomorrow, and with a majority so large
as to surprise the world, will crush the
representatives. of putocracy and self
interest, is the fcrvent hope and sincere
prophecy of the TRIBUNE.

FLOWERS FOR FOOD.
OandeiioHs and Nasturtiums Make Very
Dainty Salads,

There is nothing new in the use of
howers as ediblcs, they are eaten va
riously in various parts of the world,
and in many cases form a really impor-
tant article of food. In India, for in
stance, the bassia tree blossoms are held
in high esteem, in spite of their sweet
and sickly taste, while the flower buds
of capparis spaosa, a plant which
grows on walls, etc, in the south of
Europe, are picked in vinegar in Italy
and form what are commonly known as
capers. The ordinary cloves of COM
merce, familiar to all housewives, are
the uneXpanded buds of a small ever
green, cultivated in several parts of
the East and West Indies.
In our own United States MANY a
humble cook has discovered the value of
the green dandelion as a vegetable. The
first shoots only are fit for food. Later
they become bitter and stringy. Cut
OIL the roots, pick them very carefully
and wash well in several waters, then
put them in a saucepan of boiling wa
ter, add tablespoonful of salt and
boil and hour. When done, drain and
chop fine, then fry them with table
spoonful of butter, salt and pepper to
taste, stir until thoroughly heated and
serve with an egg or butter sauce.
Another method of treating dande-
lions is to wash the leaves through sew
eral waters, then chop them into small
pieces. Beat an egg, add half cup of
cream to it, stir over fire until it
thickens, then add piece of butter the
size of walnut, two tablespoonfuls of
vinegar, salt and pepper to taste. Drop
in the dandelion and stir over the fire
till they are wilted and tender.
Salads of dandelions and nasturtium
blossoms are made and served exactly
as one would serve lettuce. Choose the
best and tenderest shoots, wash and dry
them thoroughly, carefully cover them
with French dressing and serve i'm
mediately.-N. Y. Journal.
