The Park of a Thousand Flowers

Tanist in a few hours can see the but
tercups unfolding into full blossom.
This undoubtedly is due to environ
ment, nature having taught the flow
ers Of the high attitudes to adapt them
selves to the brief season of warmth.
"Indian paintbrush, thick clusters OF
pink bells or the manzanita, wild lilac,
azaleas along the river bank, dogwood,
lavender shooting stars and many 9TH
ers appear in early spring. In June
comes the gorgeous Mariposa lilly, va
rying in color from white to deep
red and resembling a cultivated tulip,
Then there is the Washington lily,
throwing its large white blooms high
above the chaparral Lupines reach
their prime in August-there are so
many different kinds in Yosemite that
some Of them never have been CLASH
fed. You can see them in acre
stretches in the meadows, looking like
miniature forests, topped by brilliant
petals. The hrewood also grows in lux
uriance
Monkey Flower" and Elephant
Head"
Comparatively rare among the flow
ers of Yosemite, and as beautiful as
any orchid is the mentzelia, or blazing
star, yellow petals, orange center, with
a fringe of long stamens, giving it an
exotic appearance. Curiosities among
the parks flowers are the yellow
monkey flower and purple elephant
head, the former taking its name from
the plaintive and humorous little face
out line on it, while the latter sug-
gests the Tapping ears and long trunk
of an elephant.
Another interesting plant is the
quinine bush, the bitter leaf OF which
IS used by the Indians as medicine. :"

they never produced above 10000 tons
in a year this shortage aided them IN
the ho1d-up. From that they. Tell to
10000 tons. Testimony before the ways
and means committee showed that the
Americans invested rs millions, while
in the first three years OF operation
government statistics show that they
harvested 48 millions from potash
alone, to say nothing of the other
chemical products sold. Now they
come to congress asking and rece1v-
ing a tariff tax on imported potash, SO
that they may further rob the Amerl-
can user of fertilizers.
Crisp Makes Reply.
Col. Myron M. Parker, of Washing
ton, their attorney, testified that 81
millions were invested in the American
works, but Judge Charles r. Crisp, OF
Georgia, member of the ways and
means committee, showed that half OF
this capital was in cement, sugar and
molasses plants which happened to
produce a very small amount of potash
as by-product. Judge Crisp came to
the house of representatives from a
sick bed to make a fight against this
iniquity perpetrated under the guise OF
furnishing pap for another infant indus
try already bloated up with the farm
ers' dollars. He showed, if this tax
were not added, the farmers would be
in position to get potash cheaper than
ever before, as the war had taken about
half of the potash deposits from the
Germans and had placed them in the
hands of their rivals, the French, who
are already shipping potash to New
York and selling it at SIS despite the
fact that war time prices are not yet
reduced to normal. The competition
thus arising would naturally rebound
to the benefit of the consumer were it
not artifcially choked by this action
of the republican congress: Judge
Crisp's eloquent appeal for free pot
ash fell on deaf ears.

BY LLOYD GEORGE
Premier Asks Confidence Vote
in Motion to CenSure
Next Monday.

LONDON, Oct. ~ ASSOCIATED
Press). Prime Minister Lloyd George
proposed to the House of Commons
to-day that it set aside next Monday
for discussion on the motion OF
Unionist members OF Parliament
condemning the present negotiations
with representatives OF Sim Foin
Ireland. He said he hoped there
would be vote on the question.
Mr.. Lloyd George. in making the
proposal, declared:
mo Government can conduct neso-
tiations of that kind without know
ing that it has the support OF the
House of Commons, from which it
derives It's authority"
Just before he made the proposal
~. Lloyd George was asked whether
the Irish conference was still pro-
cceding, 10 which he replied in the
affirmative.
Mr.. Lloyd George introduced his
proposal with this statement:
"As it is evident that there is a
section of the members of the House
who have serious misgivings regard
ing the conference which now is pro-
ceedipg between representatives OF
His Majesty's Government and repre-
sentAtives OF Sim Fein members from
ireland, think it is essential that we
should know where we stand as i
Government before we so very much
further"
This statement evoked great cheer
ing.
DUBLIN. Oct ~. Requesting
newspaper reporters to leave a Sim
Fein convention here to-day, E9mon
De Valera said;
This is a meeting in miniature
OF the nation and this is a critical
time for the nation.
We who are responsible for the
nations policy" he continued, want
to have a free expression from the
representatives of the nation We
feel they would be hampered in their
expression and that we should be
| hampered In giving the advice we
| have to give if anything we said
should be open to Misrepresentation
outside. We have representatives,
OF the nation at present acting in be-
half of the nation in London, and
we do not want. IL we can possibly
help It, to cut in upon their work"
LONDON, Oct. 81 Omitted Press. -
The results OF the Irish peace con-
| ference at Downing Street will be
submitted to Parliament, Lloyd
George told the House OF Commons
to-day, as its sanction is required to
any settlement. But II would be i'm
possible to conduct negotiations II the
attitudes Of the negotiators were
reported during the conference.
Sir Hamar Greenwood joined the de-
! bate. The Government, he said
would not tolerate, does not intend

WASHINGTON, oct. II Copyright.
1891. Harding's speech at
Birmingham advocating political and
economic equality for the negro was
the talk Of the town to-day.
Southern Democrats privately de-
nounced it and predicted that the hopes
of the Republican Party for white
Republican vote" had been absolutely
dashed to the ground. Republicans
commended the utterance as Lincoln
csque. They called 1t a courageous
speech delivered as it WIS i'll the
heart of the South itself.
Irrespective OF the merits OF Nj.
Harding's doctrines. there are certain
interesting aspects 30 1t from po-
ntical viewpoint. Republican candi-
lates have in the past spoken of po-
litical equality in their campaign
speeches without creating much OF d
ripple. Mr.. Harding said virtually
the same thing In his Presidential
campaign, as he sad at Birmins-
ham-it pleased the negro voters and
was hardly commented upon at the
time. But as President no one has
zone quite as far in recent years in
handling the negro problem as had
Mr.. Harding. Theoretically Repub-
leans anG Democrats have admitted
upon occasions that true democracy
means political equality, but in
actual praytico both parties have had
their controversies about granting
that equality.
For several months the leaders OF
rhe Republican Party have been
planning a real campaign to break
the Democratic hold on the Solid
South" Some nave advocated that
the way to do 1t is FOR some state
nent TO be made which would assure
the whites in the South that they
could vote the Republican ticket
without fear OF negro domination
This has indeed been advocated by
those Republicans who hailed from
She South and who knew that some
such utterance was necessary before
the whites could be persuaded to de.
scr. the Democratic standard. On this
other hand, Northern Republicans
who have been helped i'll recent years
by the influx of negroes into theiI
Congressional districts have feared
that such u statement would be re.
garded as hostile by Northern
negroes.
Mr.. Harding has tried n com
promise. He declares he does no
believe In social or racial equality
