olives.

The olive tree in it's wild state is a
thorny shrub or small tree, but when
cultivated becomes tree 20 to 40 feet
high, with no thorns. 1t lives to a good
age. The leaves resemble those of a
willow, the flowers are small and white
and grow in clusters as grapes do, and
the fruit is greenish, whitish, violet
or even black in color and generally
oval in shape. It is produced in great
profusion, SO that an old olive tree be-
comes very valuable to it's owner.
Among the Greeks the olive was
sacred to Minerva, the goddess of wis
dom. It was also the emblem of pu-
rity. A crown of olive twigs was the
highest honor that could be bestowed
upon a Greek citizen. An olive branch
was also the symbol of peace, and
the vanquished who came to beg for
peace bore olive branches in their
hands.
The American olive is remarkable
for the hardness Of it's wood. It. is
found as far north as Virginia Its
fruit is fit for use, and its flowers are
fragrant.
The fragrant olive of China and Ja-
pan has extremely fragrant flowers.
which are used for favoring tea.

Polite Erie Commuters.

A stranger who had an appointment
to meet friend in the Chambers street
ferry house, which is used by Erie
commuters. was greatly puzzled the
other afternoon by the actions of the
men who passed the ticket takers win
dow. Nearly threefourths of them
took their hats off to the ticket taker in
the most polite style.
The stranger thought that possibly
the ticket takers wife was in the box
with him, and he went back to look
again. There was no one in the box
save the ticket taker. who looked good
natured, but not imposing. When his
friend arrived, the stranger said:
rs that the president of the Erie
road in that bo4?"
Certainly not. Why do you ask such
a question:
why. every man who passes him
takes his hat off, gives him marching
salute and walks on
The friend smiled pityingly at the
strangers ignorance and said it was
trick Of the Erie commuters to carry
their tickets in the crown of their hats.
They took their hats off so that the.
agent might see the ticket. New York

A BENEFACToR GONE.

There died on Sunday last a quiet
industrious unobtrusive man who
spending half a century almost wholly
within the bounds of his forty acre
farm at LIE Crescent, yet accomplished
more of practical worth for Minnesota
than hundreds whose names have
been Haunted in the public eye in the
walks of politics and commerce. On
that forty acres John S Harris de-
voted himself to fruit raising with an
enthusiasm and intellig ence which
made him foremost of the little band
who. in the face of discouragements
innumerable- discouragements which
at one time seemed to justify the
declaration. "You can't raise fruit in
Minnesota" mot only disproved the
assertion, but he demonstrated that
fruit in any quantity and of unsur
passed quality especially apples, could
be raised and at handsome profit.
He won nearly all the prizes for
apples at the first Minnesota state
fair on fruit gathered from imported
trees. And wnen these trees, after
years of expensive nurture persisted
in dying out" he carried to F. grand

orchards from seedlings, and assisted
in the development Of new varieties
which are found to thrive as we'll here
as did the old imported favorites in
the eastern states. He did a great
deal more for Minnesota than the
traditional benefactor who caused
two bladesof grass to grow where
only one grew before" He pointed
the way whereby its coming millions

one only. His name well deserves a

TARIFF AND Trusts.

Representative Babcock, Of Wis

the tariff or manufactured steel ano

marks in a recent interview:
"The republican party is a parry OF

people is due to its aggressiveness
and it's willingness to meet problems.

we ought to meet it. | am certain

Gently, and this matter was discussed
by one or two speakers, Congressman
Mccall, of Massachusetts, was cheer
ed to the echo when he predicted
that changes in the tariff would have
to be made, and that it was best to
let such changes be made by the
friends of the protective system. l
am not an enemy Of protection, but
I know that the first principle of pro-
lection is protection of the people.
"When I see American manufac-
turers in a position where they can
charge the American people what
they see fit, and yet can sell the same
goods abroad for much lower sum,
I think it is time for Congress to step
in and reform. This is the part IF

The subterfuge of referring the
gross earnings bill to the tax commits
sion is too thin to deceive any one.
The tax commissions duty is to de-
wise a method of taxation and not to
fix rates. AS regards the taxation of
railroads tho method is fixed and can
not be changed without vote of the
people, while the rate is the only
question at issue. If members of
the legislature imagine their constitu-
ents cannot see through scheme so
thin as this, they underrate their in
telligence. Thera is an honest differ
ance of opinion in regard to the adj
Instability of passing the bill, but the
farce of referring it to the tax com
mission is not honest. If the bill is

1t will be remembered that last
harvest the complaints from farmers
who had purchased prison binder
Irvine were numerous and prolonged;
the article not only was sold at vely
high price, but it was also of very
inferior quality. Many of the farmers
who used it, or attempted to use it,
last year, announced that they didn't
want any more Of it at least while, it
was madeunder Populist supervision.
The appointment of Henry Wolfer
as warden of fhe prison was one of
the best official acts of the present
administration for it restored the con-
fdence of the farmers who had pur-
chased prison Irvine from him when
he was warden Of the institution be-
fore. AS the direct result of this,
many orders are being already re-
ceived and booked for the Irvine, and
the industry which threatened to. de-
cline into a lamentable failure under
Populist management now gives
promise of thrift and success.

Dairy and Food Commissioner Nc
Cornell has made several important
seizures of skim milk or filled cheese
in the cities the past week, the total
quantity aggregating several thous-
and pounds. This stuff had been
shipped in from Chicago, to conn
mission men here, and is not only de-
leterious as an article of food but also
works a great injury to the cheese
industry in this state. Cream cheese,
such as is manufactured at the Min
nescta factories, cannot be produced
for less then eleven or twelve cents a
pound, while the Chicago article can
be placed on the market for three
cents q pound. Itmay not be generally
known that Minnesota cheese has
captured the highest awards at all
the recent expositions, but under this
unjust competition in price with the
adulterated article, shipped in from
other states, unmolested by the
authorities during the past two years,
our cheese factories and their farmer
patrons have suffered considerably
and it would have been only ques-
ton Of time when the industry would
haye been practically killed. But we
have a dairy department now which
is aware Of sucha law prohibiting the
sale Of the spurious article on our
statute books and will enforce it.

They will visit Illinois, Massachu-

In fact the first few months of their
work will be a course of study of the
tax laws of other states. This will
enable the commission to select the
best, and to frame a code Of tax laws
which will be clear, concise, just and
equitable. Persons who are thorough
ly familiar with the working of our
present tax laws, can best appreciate
the necessity for this. In many in
stances they are cumbersome, obtuse
in their meaning, have been changed
or altered from time to time, and the
only remedy is clear new code.

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
AND THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR

h famous Danish poet, .Holger
Drachmann, spent several months in
America, travelling for pleasure and in
formation. Upon his return home he
published his impressions of America
in h Danish papers. He told the re-
porters over there hat it was very
much to the credit of the Americans
is life; poverty is DEATH He declared
"a ridiculous a~ffectation" the European
pretense that money should not be
h means OF a mans ambition" He
affirmed that educated Europeans were
utterly misguided by their mice little
primers of culture and morals" which
taught them "to look at the Yankees
as a lot of money-mad cyclists without
feeling. sentiment, and that fine brand
of s~entimentality which distinguishes
h highly developed European gentle
man." Drachmann sees that Americans
understand that money is power, nj
are not ashamed of the fact-do not
try to hide it under false pretenses, af-
ter the European mode. He rejoices.
for one, tina in America this frankness
exists. For power is what men strive
for, and why should they not strive
after money, which gives power? He
finds that this American attitude
makes for manliness.
Drachmann also asserts that the
American millionaire appreciates bet
ter than the European noble the re-
sponsibilities of his power. I'm Amer
ica," he says. Gin the heights of the
enormously rich, a stupendouS work
is constantly going on, branching out
into active participation in everything
pertaining to public life and progress,

the advancement of mankind The
sort of luxurious laZiness affected by
lively unknown in America" The
American idea is that every man able
to work shall do So. 1t is duty to get
rich if he can. a wealth means
power to do good. Weak-spined and oy-
ercultufed Americans have tried to
convince the American people that
their ideas about wealth are all wrong
that the European cant which tries
to ignore money as a legitimate source
of power is a higher and nobler con-
ception. 1t is refreshing to find a
European observer, not a manufacture
er or financier, but a poet of the first
rank, who co~mprehends, and therefore
applauds, the genuine American atti-
tude toward wealth.
