UJIY TO PARTY DONE
TO COUNTRY NOW.

We ,t the following editorial on
the election from our esteemed CO \
tenpora the Sa EN- Time s. Register.
We endor,e every word of it. 1t has
saved us a good deal Of trouble, f r it
is hard for defeated editor to write q
leader, and Brother Dennit has struck
the keynote. Now, let us all go 10
work, and let politics alone for season.
We will pick our flint and Try them
AGAIN four years hence:
&C. he greatest political campaign in
tie history OF this country is at an end,
and we are profoundly thankful for it.
The candidates representing our prin-
ciplcs ard ideas have gone down in
defeat before powerful foe, but when
we consider that it was the will of the
majority Of the peopls of this great
county, it is our plain duty, as good
CITIZENS, to yield to that majority as we
would bave had them to do had the
result been reversed. We earnestly
hoped for the triumph Of Mr. Bryan
and The principles he so valiantly
fought for. A large majority of the
people, however, preferred Mr.. McKin-
ley an hi ideas of government. He
was the candidate Of the Republican
party, but he is for the next four years
to be The President of ALL the people |
OF this Countrywide greatest and
grandrst under the sun.
"The Times-Register feels that 1.-THE
Republican party is the willing tool of
monopoly-that it is monarchical in
its tendencies, AID it is the refuge of
Use no favor and receive special
nieges at the expense Of the masses.
A these features are repugnant to
our ideas of government, and contrary
g. the spirit of Democracy. MiIharism
end imperialism are as distasteful to us
now as they were before the election.
er ! we cannot enter into the spirit of
publicauism in the slightest degree,
bat the will of the peoples the law of
the Republic, and in that sense we feel
It our duty to uphold, as far as we may,
the han of the President henceforth
in the discharge of the duties to which
the people have called him.
"This is our country. and it is bigger
than any man, or any party. Let's do
our pant during the next four years to
inspire the President with sense Of
loyalty to the Republic, and of inter est
in the masses, and let him feel that in
any necessary conflict with hostile foes,
come whence they may, he will have
ths cordial support OF al The people,
without regard to party, and at the ,
end of lis four years service again we I
shall exercise our prerogatiye as free 7
people, of calling him to account for
any shortcomings in his stewardship.
"The Democratic party will live on
Ind on, because its principles are the
fundamental principles of our free in
'tituiJns. It will triumph again be- r
-ause the Republican party must COL n
apse, d miaated as it is by selfish
masters. but the county will grow and q
prosper, despite Republican policies, il

Some curious stories about the prescrip-
tions of the late DR.. Gruby, a physician
whose name is widely known because.
among other reasons he was the doctor
present at Hene's death, are tod in the
German Medical Weekly. He was rather
of a mystic and believed much in the
power of suggestion" when he began 10
practice medicine; his prescriptions were
extremely odd and original; they were VI
a dietetic-hygienic character-exercise, abb
stnence, occupation-and, knowing that
such simple advice was seldom oOeyed.
DR.. Gruby mixed it with a little comedy
for each patient. One prescription was
only a little aromatic gum water, to-
gether with an order to walk every morn
ing before sunrise from the Bastilie and
the Madeleine the patient at every sixty
eighth step to crack a grape kernel be-
tween his teeth. Another patient was
ordered to mount his dining table three
times a day and bend his body backward
for seven and a half minutes at a time.
One prescription was to swallow two raw
eggs with exactly forty-seven grams of
salt every evening. nervous idler was
ordered to take an apartment Of four
rooms on the fifth story of a house. to
have the rooms papered In a different
shade of green, each with different pat
tern. the patient himself choosing both
apartments and papers and superintend-
ing all me MOEh. Al Nilt enc OF lOuT
weeks the patient called again on the
doctor, as ordered and was found al
most perfectly cured.
Dr. Gruby was consulted by many dis
tinguished people besides Heine; Georges
Sand, Marshal MacMahon, Dumas the
elder, Daudet Thomas Chopin, and List
were among his patients Alexander Dtl-
mas related that, being afflicted with In
somnia. he consulted Gruby. who ordered

assuring him that he was sure to sleep
on the return journey. Dumas said that
was nonsense, and left in a hum. but soon
after. being near St. Lazarle at the time
mentioned he entered the train, and
with such success that when ne again
arrived al st. Lazaire the ticket porter
had to rouse him from a deep sleep.

Two Kinds of widows.

Washington Letter in Lesles Weekly.
Some grewsome tales come from the
war and navy departments apropos of the
removal from Cuba to this country OF the
remains of those killed in the recent war.
Not long ago widow of one of the VIC
tins of the battle of Santiago called al
the navy department. II wish" she said
ITO secure the remains of my husband,
who was buried in Cuba, which l under
stand to be among those soon to arrive. .
The official to whom this request was pre-
ferred asked her to consider, suggesting
It was much better that her husband.
the nations hero. should lie at Airing
ton among those who fell with him in bat
tie, where his grave would be always
cared for, and where she could visit IT
from time to time, but whether she visited
IL or not, others would Jeverently lay
wreaths upon the mound.
II know" she admitted, I'VE should be
grateful for the care bestowed upon the
graves of our dear ones, but / desire
oh. so much!-that the body of my hus-
band shall lie beside the remains of my
children, in the little cemetery at home.
My parents lie there. / shall be laid to
rest close by them, and l should be hap
pier to know that what is left of my hus-
band was there near us" No argument
that Mr.. X. advanced awaited to move the
determined woman

mate OF Cuba wood decays very rapidly,
and the collins holding the remains of
those who died were found, in many an

bones all fallen together. While we know
that In each grave six were buried, we
cannot establish the Identity OF the bodies,
so Il would you see. be quite impossible
for me 20 separate the body of your hus-
band from those OF the five comrades
with whom he was buried" The heart
broken widow paused for a moment in
deep thought. Would you mind" she
said. giving me one OF the six? / will
lake my chances"
Another woman, It is said, wrote to the
war department, asking " the remains
OF her husband. who had been killed in
Cuba, would be brought to this country.
as she was most anxious that they should
be buried in the family plot In the local
cemetery. Receiving a prompt answer IN
the affirmative. with the assurance tina.

ORANGES ARE IN BLOSSOM.
Prospects for Fruit in Section
Around Orlando.


Orlando, Fla. April 1.-The fragrance OF
orange blossoms again fills the air, bring
ing present pleasure to all and breathing
of promise of increased revenues to the
grove owners. Many of the groves are
booming freely. Others have not suf-
ficiently recovered from the damaging eff
fects of the freeze of five years ago to
bloom; while Others still, are gradually
succumbing to the after effects of that
shock, and are making progress toward
final death
Experienced packers and buyers of
oranges estimate the output of fruit for
this county, of the present year at $4,000
boxes. Some have placed the estimates
higher But the figure named is conserv-
alive, and will doubtless be reached. With
fruit selling at 50 to 81. 50 per box this will
bring in quite a sum of money although
but pittance compared to the $7500O0-the
annual income for the last few years prior
to the calamitous cold wave.
The pineapple men are happy None of
the pineries of this section were in the
least injured by cold during the winter
just passed. The promise of. an abundant
fruit crop is good and as the plants are
in prime condition the fruit should be ex-
ceptionally large and of fine quality.
Just now there is unusual interest in the
pineapple industry, and there are many
who would be glad to engage in the bust
ness, but are deferred by the scarcity of
plants. Growers are months behind with
their orders, and there is much ground all
prepared and covered that is awaiting
plants for setting. These will take every
plant that can be produced between this
time and next September or October Ow-
ing to this scarcity, prices OF plants are
stiff and there has been an advance in
place of the great falling off predicted a
year or two ago. The pineapple men are
