calculable benefit to the territory:
IF the Indian Territory isto put
up half The expense of her World s

THE l F OF SEEDS.
Some Were in Good Condition HUM
dreds Of Years After They Had
Been Put Away.

For the benefit of those who often
desire to know how long seeds will
keep well, we take the following from
an old table, which was made for
homegrown seeds, saved with care:
Parsnips, one year; beans, one to
two years; borage, cress, balm and
satisfy, two years; corn, nasturtiums
and peas, two to three years; garlic
and onions, three years; lettuce, leek.
savory, spinach and turnip, three to
four years; caraway, margoram and
rutabagas, four years; f%ennel, five
years; parsley and peppers, five to
six years; carrots, cabbages, celery
and radishes, six to eight years;
beets, cucumbers, mangel-wurzel,
pumpkins, squashes and melons, eight
to ten years. Much depends upon
how ripe they are when gathered and
how they are kept. If placed in a
nearly air-tight metal box, they will
keep much longer than if left ex-
posed to air, dampness and the ex-
tremes of heat and cold.
Melons and rye have been known
to grow when 40 years old, sensitive
plants at 60 years and kidney beans
at 100 years. There are now grow
ing at various places in this country
berry vines from seeds 1,7O0 years
old, also various grains found in
Egyptian tombs and supposed to be
at least 1000 years old. Another inn
portant point is that many seeds are
improved by a certain amount of
keeping. Some gardeners will not
use melon, cucumber or squash seeds
until three or four years old, claim
ing that new seeds produce more vine
than fruit while older seeds produce
correspondingly less vine and more
fruit. Celery seed also does better
at three years, and cabbage seeds
from two to three years old are said
to make less leaves and solid
heads.

IT IS ON A STRING.
Free CoaI from the Republicans VIII
BE Only n Temporary Sub
sidence of Graft.

Didn't we give the people free
coal last winter when they were
freezing? Didn't we make coal cheap
by taking the duty off when the price
got too high? Isn't the republican
party always ready to relieve the suf-
fering people?"
These are some of the boasts we
will hear during the next campaign.
No, the republicans have not given
us free coal. Reluctantly, when mass
meetings were being held, when the
press was almost unanimous for free
coal, when investigating committees
were putting impudent questions to
the trusts and were probing for bot
tom facts and when the winter was
half gone, the trust leaders in the
senate and house considered it wise
to still the clamor somewhat by pre-
tending to give the people free coal.
A bill was fixed up and jammed
through both houses of congress in
one day, giving practically no time
for debate, and absolutely no time
to amend by putting other trust arti-
cles on the free list.
The duty of 81 cents per ton will
continue in force on bituminous coal
which is practically the only coal that
will come in. A rebate, however, will
be paid by the treasury department
to the importer which will reimburse
him for the full amount of the duty
paid. As, however, the secretary OF
the treasury made another anarchis
tic ruling which has nullified the law

placing a duty on bituminous coal,
when he telegraphed collectors of
customs to admit all coal imported
on or after 18th instant free OF duty,
under the act of 18th instant" coal
will virtually be free for n year
and prices will most likely fall much
more than the amount of the duty.
1t may, however, be February before
enough coal can be imported to sup
ply the demand and break the trusts
prices.
One year from now, without any
discussion in congress, and without
any agitation of the tariff question,
the republicans hope, the rebate will
cease to be paid and the trust will
continue it's graft temporarily sus-
pended in Difference to the over
whelming sentiment of a freezing
people. The trusts are still supreme;
only their political agents in congress
have become a little frightened, that's
all. They expect the people to for
get all about SIS coal before the next
campaign. Will they?

Each square inch of the human skin

these tubes, although wonderfully

A start at Least

The passage of the free coal bill
(for one Year, by both branches of
congress, was notable for the fact that
the democrats in the senate did not
offer a single amendment, but joined
with the republicans in pushing the
bill to an immediate vote. The demo-
Gratis at least deserve credit for do
ing something which the republicans
have said all along they would not
do. 1t is now demonstrated that a
tariff bill can be brought before the
senate and quickly passed, notwith-
standing that under the senate rules
a tariff bill is subject to endless amend
ment. 1t must have been a distress
ing moment, however, to a number of
old tariff reform wal horses to see
this free coal bill slip by without
proposing free everything else. Their
self-restraint was admirable, and a
shivering nation chatters out it's

THEY ARE HAVING TROUBLE.
vergence of Opinion on Tariff
and Trusts

Senator Dolliver, of Iowa, has
fallen foul Of Senator Aldrich, of
Rhode Island, over the Iowa idea
and the tariff and trust skeletons in
the republican closet were exposed
to full view in the United States
senate. This family row of the re-
publicans is a peculiar one, in that
both sides claim to be ardent protec-
tionists, but the Dolliyer faction
wish to smooth the rugged protec-
ton wall off a bit with a slice of
reciprocity-whatever that may be.
Aldrich and the ultra protection
republicans are utterly opposed to
any modification of the extreme
rates of duty that were dictated by
the trusts, when the Dingley bill was
being i%ncubated. They deny that the
rates were increased, even beyond
the demands of the trusts, so that
reciprocity dickers could be made
with foreign countries. Aldrich de-
clared that it was Infamous to
link Dingley's name with any such
purpose. Dolliver championed the
Iowa idea, that the tariff shelters
monopoly, and loudly acclaimed fol
reciprocity. He also said:
Il do not intend to sit quiet in this
chamber while it is said to be in
famous that anybody should have
the notion that a tariff schedule once
framed could not be honorably mod
flied by sensible trade negotiation!
