The following vigorous open letter was addressed to William L. Wilson, M. C, by Henry Carey Baird, of Philadelphia, Feb. 2d, tending to show that political economy, as taught in schools and col leges, is a lamentable failure when tried in practice : "By the papers of this morning I see that on the passage of your tariff bill you were actually carried in triumph on the shoulders of two dignified national legislators. In my opinion, this triumph of yours will be short lived, for yon have committed a, great wrong against the American people, and I would not for a million of dollars be in your place with all of your responsibility upon my con science. "When, too, it is considered that Pres ident Cleveland, Vice-President Steven son, the democratic United States sen ate, the democratic house of representa tives, Mr. Speaker Crisp, and Mr. Wil son, chairman of the committee on ways -and means, all owe their present posi tions and power to the fact of the over throw of our institutions during the past twelve or fifteen years in at least eight of the states lately in rebellion, this con duct of yours and your followers in the house of representatives at a time when the people of the United States are in such dire distress, such a state ot des peration, seems especially atrocious. .'For more than six and thirty years I have been an ardent student of economic questions and an observer of economic facts, and long since did I make up my mind that of all the institutions in the country the college was the one which exerted the most pernicious influence. The culmination of your work, a college president, seems to confirm, justify and finally clinch this judgment of mine." Let none but the best men be nomin ated, and then Oregon will give the country such an object lesson in June that the Cleveland party will groan in anguish of spirit. There is a mortal authority against which Gladstone is powerless, and that is his physicians. The grand old man has seryed his, country too faithfully and long to allow him to have his way, and perforce he has been obliged to keep his bed by the pill-rollers. Every republican ought to get in and join the McKinley Club, and when there are no clubs 'organized should go to work and form one. There is not a pre cinct in Oregon but the republicans ought to organize and get in and show their colors and .down the Wilson free trade worshippers. Pulverizing the Grover power is the watchword. CURRENT PRESS COMMENT. Lillian Russell again denies her re ported engagement to Sandow, the strong man, and Sandow is non-committal. Miss Russell, by the way, is in fringing upon one of Mrs. Frank Leslie's copyrighted, advertising expedients. Pennoyer is out as, a full-fledged pop ulist candidate for president. As Mr. JPennoyer owns a sawmill, he has the ad vantage of being able to say a great deal and saw wood at the eame time. Here's hoping Sylvester will get his party nom ination. Spokane Review. The chief embarassment the Rebub licans had to contend . with tinder the Harrison Administration was a $105,000,- 000 surplus. The chief embarrssment the Democrats have to contend with nn der the Cleveland Administration is a $75,000,000 deficit. . The foot ball mania has seized upon the women, a game having been played between the members of the fair sex at San Francisco the other day. The spec tacle was decidedly novel, such a display of hosiery and underwear never before .. having been witnessed outside of a dry goods store. Mr. Cleveland's reign over the demor cratic mudsills and administration cuck oos is drawing swiftly to an end.- With all the advantages upon his side he has been twice whipped in fair combat by a man who brought to the encounter only his lance and the superior cunning of his brain.' Reverse the. conditions put Hill in the White Honse and Cleveland in the senate, and the contest would not be worth passing interest. THE COCOANUT TREE. it Furnishes Food, Shelter ' and Employment to. Thousands. ' some Interesting Facts Concerning- the Bearing; or the riant on Planta tionsIts Principal Products. " . This palm does not grow spontane ously on Key West or on any of the other Florida islands, as the violent north' winds' which often prevail in winter reduce the - temperature of southern Florida too' low for this heat loving tree, although when planted and cared for while young it grows to a moderate. size on the keys, and some times bears fruit; otherwise the nuts which are cast vipon those shores by the gulf stream would have produced plants that would gradually have cov ered them, for it is in this way that the cocoanut has been able gradually to spread over all the sandy coral shores of the tropics of the two worlds. The place of its first home is uncertain. It was believed by the younger Candolle to have first appeared on some of the islands of the Indian archipelago, whence it was carried either by ocean currents or by man to the southern coast of Asia, "east tropical Africa, and to the islands and shores of Pacific tropical America. Undoubtedly it was brought by man to the West Indies and Brazil after the discovery of America by Europeans, although it has now so spread, through the action of ocean currents" or by the agency of man, that it has every appearance of being in digenous on the shores of east tropical America. The cocoanut palm, says Garden and Forest, is a magnificent plant, well named "a prince of the vegetable kingdom," with tall, slender columnar stem eighty or a hundred feet high, and rich pale yellow-green leaves which are thirty or forty feet long, and flutter and rustle with every breath of wind. The cocoanut grows only near the shore, where its roots, penetrating the sandy soil, may drink freely from clear underground springs. Of all trees it is the most useful to man, furnishing food, shelter and employment to hun dreds of thousands of the hurnan race. In tropical countries, especially in southern India and Malaya, the cocoa nut supplies to whole communities the chief necessities of life. Every part is useful; the roots are considered a rem edy against fevers; from the trunk houses, boats and' furniture are made; the leaves furnish the thatch for houses and the material from which baskets, hats, mats and innumerable other articles are made; the network of fibers at their base is used for sieves and is woven into cloth; from the young- flower stalks a palm wine, called toddy, is obtained, from which arrack, a fiery alcoholic drink, is dis tilled. The value of the fruit is well known. From the husk, which ' is called coir, commercially, cordage, bedding, mats, brushes and other ar ticles are manufactured. . In the tropics, lamps, drinking1 vessels and spoons are made from the hard shells. The albumen of the seed contains large quantities of oil, used in the east for cooking and in illuminating; in Europe and the United States it is often made into soap and candle3, yielding, after the oil is extracted, a refuse valuable as . food for cattle, or as a fertilizer. In some parts of the tropics the kernel of the seed forms the chief food of -the inhabitants. The cool, milky fluid which fills the cavity of the fruit when the nut is young affords an agreeable beverage, and the .albumen of the young nut, which is soft and jelly like, is nu tritious and of a delicate flavor. As might be expected in the case of a plant of such value, it is often care fully and extensively cultivated in many countries, and numerous vari eties, differing in the size, shape and quality of the fruit, are now known. The cocoanut is propagated by seeds; the nuts are sown in nursery beds, and at the end of six or eight months the seedlings are large enough to plant. The plants are usually set twenty-five feet apart each way in carefully pre pared beds filled with rich surface soil. Once established, a plantation of co coanuts requires little care beyond wa tering, which Is necessary in its early years to insure a" rapid and vigorous growth. In good soil the trees usually begin to flower at the end of five or six years, and may be expected to be in full bearing in from eight to twelve years. Thirty nuts from a tree is con sidered a fair average yiela, although individual trees have been known to produce an average of three hundred nuts during a period of ten years. An application of manure increases the yield of the trees, although probably the value of the additional crop ob tained in - this way is. hardly large enougn to justify much expenditure. ' Olass Blowers. Many attempts have been made to supplant the glass blowers by ma chinery, but up to this time none has attained commercial importance. Either the cost of production has been found to be higher than by the time-honored - method or the ware pro duced was not of a quality up to the" demands of the market.. This is more especially the case in the kinds of bot tles used to contain effervescent drinks, which must be capable of with standing a pressure of several atmos pheres without failure. - This, in fact, is the critical point in the. automatic manufacture of bottles, since the dif ficulty ' has always been" to obtain a distribution of the glass forming the walls of the bottle as uniform as in the handiwork. The attempt has been made to press the body and bottom separately and to unite the two by fusing them together, but the bottles made in this manner were very heavy and of poor appearance. The bottle machine invented by Ashley, in Eng land, aroused much interest arid was .much talked of, several companies be ing formed to engage in bottle manu facture by this method, bat none, if they " still survive, has succeeded in putting any great amount of ware on the markets of the world. . MACHINES FOR BUSINESS. An Office .Containing Appliances for Rapid ' Communication. .- "The desk of' a business man nowa days is quite a mass of machinery," said the manager for a commercial firm to a Washington Star writer. "Ob serve this one of mine for example. "To begin with, here - is a phono-1 graph, into which I dictate all my let ters. Afterward a young woman who acts as my amanuensis takes the cylinders and copies them off. For communication '-. otherwise than by writing, I have at my hand a small stand which supports a telephone. It is ornamental" and movable. I put it out of the way or set it in front of me, according to my convenience. "With this little instrument I can talk from my desk: with all the world. It is a long distance telephone", and with it I can call up Boston as easily as Baltimore. Besides, I have at my other elbow a similar contrivance for communicating with the various rooms under my superintendence in this building. At a moment's notice I can make connection with any one of them by sticking the plug into the proper place In this circuit board. "My desk is a center to which ever so many wires run for a score of dif ferent purposes. Some of them fur nish me with electric lights. Others give power to my electric fan. Over head you will notice a clock, which at noon every day is corrected by elec tricity from the naval observatory. Sly office is a nest of machines and wires, the latter, reaching out to the utter most ends of the earth. For, by means of this telegraph sounder at my left hand, I can transmit, intelligence to Europe, to India, to New Zealand, or to Ilong Kong. It is not without rea son that this is called the age of me chanical civilization." - McClnre's Magazine. ( 'A more notable magazine in the names of its contributors than the March McClure's, has rarely come from the press. Kipling, Herbert Spencer, Robert Louis Stevenson, Conan Doyle,- and Octave Tbanet certainly make a. list that it is hard to equal. - And what is more to the point, the contributions are quite as distinguished as the contribu tors. In fresh ness and importance of imformation Miss Ida M. Tarbell's ac count of the scientific method of identi fying criminals in France must be pro nounced the leading article of the num ber. It is illustrated from photographs especially provided by M. Bertillou, the inventor of the method. ' The subjects of the "Human Documents", portraits are Andrew Lang, J. T. Trowbridge, and Renan. - Mrs. Emily Thorne, who resides at Toledo, Washington, says she has never been able to procure any medicine for rheumatism that relieves the pain so quickly and effectually as Chamberlain's Pain Balm and that she has also used it for lame back, with great success. For sale by Blakeley & Houghton, druggists. Another Mystery Solved. A Southern- man says that the Rev. Mr. Jasper of Richmond, who believes that "the sun do inove," is the author of an original and unique explanation of the story of Jonah and the Whale. It is as follows: "Dat country war a sea shoah, an' de hotels dey was named after de . tings ob de sea. Dah was de Sailors' Rest, de Mariners'' Retreat, de Seafaring Man's Home an' a lot ob sich places, jest as yo' kin fin' 'em at Nor folk now. Among dese places was one called 4e Whale's Belly Jonah come along an' he didn' hab no scrip in his purse. He stayed dar tree days, and when de landlady found he didn' had no money she spewed him out. It is gib to us to show how when we don't treat a man right kase he's pore we may be kickin' an angel unaware. " ' O. W. O. Hardman, Sheriff of Tyrel Co., W. Va., appreciates a good thing and does not hesitate to say so. He was almost prostrated with a cold when he procured a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. He says: "It gave me prompt relief. I find it to be an invalu able remedy for coughs and colds."
