Growing Disposition of American to
Live onthe Government.
oThe horseleech hath
daughters crying, give, give,�
Americans appear to grow more
disposed to illustrate the proverb
by living cn the government. Of
course the whole theory of rota-
tion in appointive and non polit:
cal officers is that the party in
power has a right to pay for the
private services of its followers
out of the public treasury. A re-
cent Goyernor of the S:ate of New
York put his pract*ce in its bold-
est form when he approved a cor-
rupt public contract so as to pay
expenses. ~he
ordiaary state of mind as to pen-
siohs is similiary low. A_ few
months ago a distinguished sol-
dier, diplomat and statesman de-
f-nded the action of a man who
was drawing a pension for total
disability while an active member
of the United States Sennte.
¢he law,� said he, omakes nodis
ri: ection; it does not re*ogsnize th.
posibility of :nental labor ~by a
man physically disabled.� oBut,�
it was objected, omight not the
Seu. tor look at the matter simply
is an honest man?� oYoa might
ia well say that I have noright te
tiepension that idraw,Treplied the
yeveral. The discassion ceased
16 this point; but the wouder re
mained that men of: wealth and
station aud public spirit should
tuke paymenat-for their own gali-
~antry. There is no effeciive pub-
lec sentiment even against ncto-.
rious persion frauds. In what

teemed who gave information

Canaigre Instead of Cotton.
_ The Mexican Financier has an
interesting dvseription of the
again and stil. drew her. pension?)
icanaigre crop, wich is becoming
important iu Texas, Arizona and
New Mexico. In the Peeos Val-"
ley, Tex., farmers are goingT out
of cotton into eanaigre with de-
cided profit- The plant will grow
almost everywhere in the cotton
belt, and may become an import-
ant paying crop further east than
Texas. Cultivation increases th«
product to some thirty tons. of
green roots, which shiink to some
eight tons when dry. The roots
yield from 23 to 33 per cent. of
tannic acid, while oak and hem-
lock bark yield only from 8 to 10
per cent. Prices of dried canaigre
rxot range from $25 to $30 per ton
in the rough. In Europe ~from
$50 to 880 per ton is paid, it is
stated, anil the demand for ex-
ceeds the supply. The crop per
acre is said to be worth trom
$175 to $225, while the cost of
planting and cultivating is about
the same as that of a sweet- potato
crop. The tannic acid from
canaizre is said to be exception:
ally vaiuable for tanning upyers,
fine saddlery and fancy leathers.
It is used also as a dyestuff. It
deseryes the attention of our
farmers, who can obterin useful
suggestions as to its cultivation
from the Agricultural Depart-
m3ut at Washington.

~DonTt Slander These Good Women.
A lady prominent in the KingTs
Daughters has requested the
REFLECTOR to correct an erro-
nious impression that has been
made concerning their order. It
has been told that they solicited
the Hi!l Theatre Co., which play-
ed here last week, to donote a
portion of the proceeds to them.
This does injustice to the noble
ladies. They did not know that
they were to receive a portion of
the proceeds until it was so pub
lished. The fact is that when it
was first announced that a portion
of the proceeds were to be given
to the public school] fund, some
one suggested that as that fund
was derived from sources of tax-
ation and had already been con-
siderally augmented by recent
entertainments, the money would
serve a better purpose to be used
in charitable work. Acting on
this suggestion it was decided
that a part of the proceeds
should goto the KingTs Daugh
ters to be used as they deemed
best in relieving suffering. When
the money was tendered them cf
course they acvepted it, aud there
is DO question but what they will
lo more gcod with it than if it
hud gone to the schovul tund.
fhe KingTs Daughters are doing
a bobje work and should be
onccuraged, rather than hindered
by insinuaticus. "
