On to the Shell Game.

Slayton Herald.
The man from Mobiles county who is
supposed to represent the Murray Mobiles
county Republicans in the state senate
still continues to attract considerable at
tention from this part of the state at
least, not because of the large number
of pounds of avoirdupois which he carries
around with him, but because he, on ac-
count of little enmity engendered by
the fact that a Democrat had discovered
some if his practices, had caused that
capable Democrat, John E. King. to lose
a position to which he was appointed
and for which he was eminently fitted.
Even loyal Republican papers have aris-
en- and censured this tax dodger for his
action in causing Mr.. King to be dropped
from the state board of equalization. Po-
litical preference is all right. but such
acts on account of personal spite seldom
benefit the man who resorts to them.

1t is not impossible that there may be
split among the manufacturers them
selves on the tariff question. The natural
resources of this country enable some
of them to easily meet all foreign compe-
t1tion, the tariff benefits them only in
a measure, while it greatly increases the
cost of nearly everything they need in
operating their factories, and it also in
creases the cost of labor by increasing
the cost Of the necessities of life If the
tariff were removed these manufacturers
could produce their goods at much low
er price, which would enable them to
more than make up in foreign markets
what they might lose at home.

Fifty years ago the American people
celebrated Washingtons birthday by
fighting the battle Of Buena Vista, Mex
leo. A great many Americans at the
time were denouncing the Mexican war
as criminal aggression" but it was
fought to a finish just the same and who
will say that it was not for the well
fare of humanity? We certainly gave the
conquered ''greasers' a better govern
ment and more liberty than they would
have enjoyed under the Mexican flag.
In fact, we made them American citizens,
and if that isn't good enough for any
body, let him rise and say so. Calling a
war criminal aggression has but little
effect Nearly all wars are that. Caesar
and Alexander have been dead a good
many years, but the spirit of conquest
still permeates the entire white race.
And by the way, wasn't it Democratic
administration that carried on the Next

Gathering Cloves.

Cloves are now cultivated in many
of the tropical regions Of the earth. A
clove-tree begins to bear at the age of
ten years and continues until it reaches
the age Of seventy-five years. There
are two crops a year, one In June and
one in December. The tree is an ever
green and grows from forty to fifty
feet high, with large oblong leaves, and
crimson flowers at the end Of small
branches in clusters Of from ten to
twenty. The tree belongs to the same
botanical order as the guava. The
cloves, which are the undeveloped budss
are at first white, then light green, and
at the time Of gathering bright red.
Pieces of white cloth are spread under
the trees at harvesting time, and the
branches are beaten gently with bam-.
DO sticks until the cloves drop. They
are dried in the sun, being tossed about
daily until they attain the rich dark
color which proclaims them ready for
shipment. In this country and In Eng
land they are used almost wholly as o
condiment, but in France they are used
largely in the manufacture Of certain
liquors; and to some degree they are
employed in medicine for their tonic
properties.

The end of the troubles of Miss

courtship of Mr.. Dean and Miss Howell

widower of 4S, and each was well stu
ated with regard to worldly goods.
Mr.. Dean frequently visited Miss How
ell in Scranton, and story was soon
circulated that they were engaged.
This was violently opposed by Miss
Howelrs brother. Franklin Howell,
who instituted proceedings to have her
declared lunatic. How these pro-
ceedings finally collapsed in the face
of the testimony of expert physicians
from Philadelphia was told in the pa
pers short time ago. In answering
the questions of the marriage license
docket in court, Mr.. Dean had placed
on the records mention of the fact
that he was divorced from his first
wife in Cameron county In December,
1879, and his second wife died Cd

The Great Pitts Last Words.

The last words of great men are al
ways sacredly treasured. and there Is
reason for the belief that in instances
the words are polished and changed to
suit the occasion. Various dying senti-
ments have been ascribed to the great
William Pitt, and Disraeli was fond Of
telling story which he heard from an
old waiter at the house Of commons.
Late one night, said the waiter to Dis
raeli shortly after he entered parlia-
ment, was called out of bed by mes
senger in a post-chaise shouting to me
outside the window. What is it,"
said. You're to get up and dress
and bring some of your pork pies down
to Mr.. Pitt at Putney." So went, and
as we drove along the messenger told
me that Mr.. Pitt had not been able to
take any food. but had said, II think
could eat one Of Bellamy's pork pies"
So was sent for post-haste. When
arrived Mr.. Pitt had passed away.
Them were his last words: 81 think I
could eat one Of Bellamy's pork pies. -
