It is reported that the author of the
Wilson lull ia a very sick man. If he
liad to bear all the suffering which hix
Tariff measure has brought on the people
'A the United States he would make an
1 Hort to undo what he has done.
It would be very gratifying to the ad
ministration if some one would kelp it
let go of the Hawaii matter. It is safe
to believe that the next time Mugwump
Qresham wants to do something for
suite be will be more careful than he
was in his action in this case.
Some idea of the financial situation in
Colorado may be formed from the fact
that the cities of that state, or rather,
four of them, offered the pittance of
1240,000 to have the Corbett-Mitcliell
fight take place in that state. That
amount of cash would go a long waj
toward relieving all the heedy in the
domain over which the celebrated gov
ernor. Wait, holds sway.
About the hardest slap that has been
pivea to the president was in the refusal
of the senate to confirm J. Scott Harri
son to be surveyor at Kansas City. Th
appointee is a brother of ex-President
Harrison and his appointment was op
posed by the Missouri senators aod Sena
tor Vest filed a protest, but it was of no
avail. It came up in the senate and the
members from that state related tbe
circumstances and it was disposed of
without a vote being taken.
The Chicane Inter Ocean, that great
republican newspaper, has not suffered
by the recent era of financial depression
but has gone right along adding to it
foundation stones a largs and substan
tial circulation witti a stride that under
the circumstances is truly wonderful.
Atone time additioos to the subscrip
tion list were coming at the rate of 800
to 1,100 per day for the daily issue, and
as high as 1,500 per day for the Wttkly
Inter Ocean. The result of this is to
place it easily at the head of the great
Chicago newspapers. It is certainly a
good, clean family newspaper of the
highest order.
The conditioo of the unemployed ia
the cities of the east seems to be going
from bad to worse. In Chicago, in spite
of ail the efforts made, it is said to be
out of the question to supply the need
of the applicants, and a few days ago it
was feared that an attempt would be
mad by the hungry crowd to take pos
session of the supplies by force. There
up pears to be no desire to do violence,
but men and women cannot be expected
to quietly starve and see those dependant
upon them perish for want of food for
which they have willingly labored and
for which they are still willing to labor
if given the opportunity.
The bill to repeal the .sugar bounty
has passed the house. An amendment
was offered by Meiklejobu to substitute
the provision of the McKinley bill and
in hid remarks be cited the fact that un
der that law the investment of f 150,000,
600 in Louisiana, (15,000,000 in Califor
nia and 110,000,000 in Florida had been
made aod that the Wilson bill was in the
interest of the sugar trust and against
the interest of the consumers, but it was
no use aod the bounty must go. Dave
Mercer also took a hand and "stood up
far Nebraska" in good shape and showed
that Bryan did not always get the facts
before making an assertion as to the
rights of congress. So far no report has
been found of where Kern has don any
thing in the way of making a record,
except for being the first member on
each payday to call for his salary.
The interest in the culture of sugar
best in northwest Nebraska is on the
increase right along. The arrangement
for planting some hundreds of acres) of
beats in Sheridan county is said to be
completed aod now the work is under
way ia Dawes county. The product is
to to swat to the factory at Norfolk and
a freight rata of two dollars per ton is to
to made and the beets are to to paid for
at Uss rats of five dollars a ton, delivered
at the factory. If the people of Dawes
cooaty caa grow beets at that price the
yeopU of this locality can also do so as
the rate of two dollars a toa freight was
made a couple of years ago and there ia

Omaha Bee.
- Acordiag to a buii.ua of the agricul
turel experiment station, prepared by
Prof. Bessey of the University of Neb
raska, the Euasian thistle, which is at
tracting considerable attention from the
authorities at Washington both in oca
grass and out, has already made note
worthy inroads into this state. Origin
ating somewhere in eastern Europe or
western Asia, it has been known and
dreaded for many years in various parts
of Russia. Its introduction into the
United States dats at least fifteen years
hack, when it was disdovered to be
growing in South Dakota, having been
brought tliere, it is supposed, in flax-seed
that bad been imported from Europe.
The Rutkiao thistle that has made its
appearance in Nebraska must have come
by way of South Dakota. Of the twenty-four
counties from which information
of its existence has been secured, the
greater part of them stretch along the
northern boundary of the state, al
tliough scattered traces of the weed are
to be found as far south as the Kansas
line, and it has very probably reached
other counties from which no returns
have been made.
The natural mode of propagation of
the Bussian thistle is by the winds rol
ling it along with its innumerable s
in all directions. The mature plant is
described as more or less spherical in
shape and consisting of many elongated
branching twigs, which grow outward
and upward from the root At first red
dish, it bleaches out as the seed npens
and finally becomes almost white. The
larger specimens are from two to three
feet in diameter. Each twig and branch
s covered on all sides by hard, stout
prickles, sharp and irritating to the
touch, the prickles being in threes. The
teed rests upon the upper side of the has
of each three prickles, about ten in num
ber to the inch, and reaching into the
thousands on every well-grown plant.
The root breaks off in Hie early part of
winter and leaves the branches free to
roll away, scattering the seeds promis
cuously 00 iU path. It seems to have
been aided in its spread by securing a
footing in stock cars, for it is upon this
theory that its presence in South Omaha
nd more southern points upon various
railway lines is explained.
Of ceurse this weed, like other similar
weeds, can be exterminated by destroy -
ng tiie plant before the seed has ripened.
Farmers will only be consulting their
own interests in keeping it off of their
elds, but it must also be destroyed
where it appears along the highways or
uncultivated lands. The Nebraska stat
utes as they now stand enjoin it upon
the land owoer to mow down the Cana-
ian thistle growing upon his premises
and adjoining highways, and impose
penalties upon those who knowingly
suffer it to spread unhindered. The
Russian thistle demands at least the
same heroic treatment A general on-
laught cannot check the troublesome
pest
How the 3 stater Grows.
The nutmeg-tree somewhat resembles
our hardy pear, and seldom reaches more
than thirty-five or forty feet in height.
The flowers are pale yellow, and are
very similar in size and shape to lilies of
the valley. The leaves are large, aver
aging six inches in length, dark green,
polished on the upper surface, and gray-
sb beneath. As leaves, flowers and
fruit are all richly odoroos, the atmos
phere in the neighborhood of a nutmeg-
i-o ve is constantly laden with a delight
ful and characteristic perfume. 80 per
sistent and penetrating is this perfume
hat it is readily perceived on ships pass
ing twenty miles off the coast
The fruit is round, and about as large
a moderate-si xed apple; or, to be
more exact, nearly three inches in diam
eter. The outer portion is a thick, fleshy
rind, very similar to that which sur
rounds the hickory-nut Inside of this
s the husk, a sort of rough, thready sub
stance, of a brilliant scarlet when nrst
pened, but soon changing to a yellow
ish brown as it dries on exposure to the
air. This dusk is the mace 01 commerce.
When this is stripped off, there is left a
hard, thin, dark brown shell, covering
the seed, or nutmeg proper.
The outer rind splits into two nearly
equal parts when the nut is ripe and is
thrown away as valueless; but in some
parts of the Moluccas the rind is peeled
off in its green aod juicy state, and
made into a species of sweetmeat with
honey or sugar. The writer has been
permitted to taste this preparation , aod
well, she cheerfully donates her share
to the deserving poor. From "The Nut
