From Springfield.

| Payne, the stubborn witness, on the house
and senate having passed Il bill defining the
power of the two houses to compel witnesses
to testify, consented to answer the questions
of the Bradwell printing committee. His
answers were of no great Importance, the
drawn from other witnesses.
The evidence Of the committee fills about
200 pages of manuscript, and as it reveals a
good deal of roltonness IN the printing ring,
Bradwel moved that IL je printed. Objection
being made TO the cost, Bradwell expressed
the opinion that if the evidence was placed
in the office of the secretary of state it would
not stay there two weeks, Nobody resented
this rather rough fling at the Secre.
tary, but as the ring is opposed to having the
evidence printed, they frightened enough OF
the members by exaggerated statements of
the cost, TO vote down Bradwell's motion.
AGRICULTURAL BOARD
An incNcusabie piece of extravaganza was
the appropriation of $4,000 by the house on
Monday TO the State Agricultural Board. The
board has 81 600 now in Its treasury, yet has
increased none OF its premiums and lowered
none of its SHINING charges at annual
exhibitions. The BILL however, cuts off one
of their chief sources Of revenue in prohibit
ing the board from renting booths for the sale
of whisky Or beer.
DOUGLAS MONUMENT.
The bill approprating $4,000 to complete
the Douglas monument at Chicago has passed
the house, but has twice failed to get con-
stitutional majority in the senate, where a
motion to reconsider and pass it is still pend
ing.
RAILROAD LAW.
Petitions are being sent in from various

Daniel Webster, like Thomas Jefferson and
all the fathers of the republic" WAS a hard
money man, and though, in 1923, he favored
recharter Of the bank Of the United States
he did so on the ground that some sort of
paper money was necessity, and as the
paper of the bank OF the United States was
always convertible into specie, and could
never be issued to an amount TO bring it below
par, he considered such a form the least
Objectionable paper money could take. But
as to an infated currency, or paper money
not at all times and Immediately convertible
into specie, this was his idea;
A disordered currency is one OF tic greatest
of political evils. 1t undermines the virtues
necessary for the support Of the social system
and encourages prOpensities destructive OF It's
happiness. 1t wars against industry, irugality,
and economy; and 1t fosters the evil spirits Of
extravaganza and speculation. Of all con

This is the most ctfectual of inventions TO

Apples in Massachusetts,.

Complaints come from Massachusetts
that the young fruit is falling from the
apple trees. On this subject the Spring
field Republican says "There may
be enough left upon the trees to make
fair return, if they were safe and cer-
tain to mature in good condition. Un-
fortunately the fruit already upon the
ground contains within itself sufficient
larve of insects injurious to vegetation
to insure not only the ruin of this years
crop, but OF next years, too. Anybody
who will examine these little apples
with a iack-knife will find inside of
them and devouring the seeds the larva
Of the apple-moth, tiny, pinkish
worm not more than one-half inch
long. The egg from which this worm
grew was laid in the blow of the apple,
almost as soon as the apple was set
after blossoming. The larva eats the
seeds, and soon pushes out of the apple
to find new nest, usually under the
scales of the bark of the tree itself,
whence it issues as moth in season,
according to Trimble, for another raid
upon the fruit this year it will get
back, at all events, to spend the nine
inclement months under the bark scale,
whence it will issue next summer to re-
peat the process. The remedy is first
to pick up the apples as they fall and
treat them in some way to destroy their
inhabitants second, lest some of the
Larvae have already left the apples, to in.
tercept them on their way up the trees.
This may be done, according to the
same authority above mentioned, by
binding the tree two or three times
around with hay.withes, in which the
worm innocently nestles, and where it
may be found and killed by removing
the withes occasionally. Now is the
time to do it. Most of these fallen APP
pies also bear the mark of the curculio,
q little crescent-shaped discoloration
with a dark dot on the concave side.
Careful fruit, growers jar these insects
off the trees upon sheets III the early
mornings of June and kill them one by
one. The best that can be done now is
to lessen the next generation by de-
stroying the apples in which their eggs
are planted, if the worm has not already
bred and descended into the ground. A
drought like that of last summer is
supposed to endanger those insects near
the surface of the ground by parching,
but there is manifestly no lack of them
this year. The curculio, it is we'll
known, ruins the plum completely, and
it destroys the natural beauty and much
of the flesh of the apple and the pear.
Little can be done in battling with
either of these pests, unless whole
neighborhoods viii combine to pursue
the warfare"
