Only II per cent of the internal
revenue which the United States pay
comes from the South, and 95 per cent
of that II per cent consists Of taxes on
spirits and tobacco. To collect this
05 per cent the government has to
fight persistently, not only against
Illicit distillcrs, but against the united
public sentiment of the South. A
revenue agent who tries to collect the
taxes takes his life in his hand, and
the killing of him is considered 40
murder. Southern congressman are
promising their constituents that if
Hancock is elected these taxes viii be
removed. This is one term of the
change" asked for. To grant it
will be to cut down the internal revenue
of the government from the South to
less than per cent of the whole
amount paid, leaving the north to pay
over 90 per cent. How does the
North like that kind of change!

John M. Oldham cries like a whipped
puppy, but as the shoe fitsso well, we
suppose he will have to .Mearit.

a democratic news paper published
at Abingdon, Virginia, sounds a note
of alarm about the political situation
in that state. 1t believes that the DEM
ocratic party is pretty evenly divided
into debt-payers and readiusters, and
that each of these factions will poll
about 10000 votes. As each has its own
electoral ticket and the prospect is that
the republicans, whose strength is esti-
mated at $1,000 will carry the state Tor
Garfield. We hope that the fears Of the
Abingdon paper will be realized. but
we shall not be at all disappointed if
the outside pressure which W j | | b e
brought to bear upon the two democrat
ic factions from this time on results in
their coalescing upon joint electoral
ticket. 1t is hardly probable that they
will carry their quarrel over the debt
question to such a length as to permit
the republicans to detach the state
from the solid south and place it in the
Garfield column.

Burdette ON the BLACKBERRY
Burlington Hawkeye.

The greatest enemy the black
berry has is boys. Five boys from
town can eat more green blackber-
ries in day than would ripen in
week. For many years the
great desideratum has been a har-
dy berry that could resist the pre-
mature onslaught of boys from
town. 1t Is great desideratum
still. The Schneider, a variety
that was invented by an Iowa hor-
ticulturist, Is the nearest approach
to it. 1t Is bred from perfectly
green persimmon crossed with a
dogwood tree, and still further
propogated with hybrid of
worm wood bush and wild crab
apple. 1t is not perfect defense,
but there are very few boys who
care to eat more than a quart of
them. Nobody else, however, can
go past the field where the Schnei-
der Is growing without being at
tackled with Asiatic cholera and
this tends to weaken the partial
success this hardy berry has
achieved. Then there Is bug
| do not knw the name of it--that
crawls over the berries now and
then. When you eat q berry that
has been & orified by a visit from
this bug, you lie down In the
briars and pray Heaven to take
you home in Just about three Sec
onds. And Ii you live you can
wake up In the night, along In the
middle of next winter, and Shud-
der as you taste that berry.
When your blackberries grow
too thickly, you will want to thin
them out. TO this end, you must
kill some OF them. This can be
done by digging a well where the
plant stands; then turn the farm
upside down and let 1t dry out
thoroughly for couple of years,
then turn 1t over, upside down,
and start brickyard on the back
of 1t. This will kill off some of
the plants. There may be some
shorter and cheaper method of
killing blackberry vines than this,
but | have never heard of Ii, and
II isn't likely that there is.
If you want TO devote about for
~ acres of ground 10 the cultiva-
ton OF blackberries, plant about
three healthy vines in some corner
Of the field, about the middle of
April. Then ABOUT the first of
May the man who owns the farm
an the other side of the road will
bring civil action against you and
try to collect damages for destruc-
ton af his two fields Of wheat by
a raid OF blackberry vines.
IL Is not known just at what
season of the year blackberries
ripen. The blackberry has never
been known to ripen. If the
hucksters and boys should all die
In June, ii Is probable that the
berries would ripen some time In
July or August. But they have
never had q chance to see what
they could do at ripening.

A Little Comb.

The very smallest comb Ia the
world, probably, belongs to a
beetle which Is itself about as big
as the dot over an in this page.
This beetle has wings which are
exquisitely fringed nearly all
around with delicate hairs, so
small that they must be magnifi-
ed two hundred times larger than
life before we can see them clear
ly. AT the base of each tiny wing
Is comb, probably for the pur-
pose of cleaning dust from the
wing. and this has to be made
nine hundred time larger TO show
that 1t has one hundred and twen-
ty teeth. 1t Is of most beautiful
segularity, and an interesting
right through microscope.

A very fashionable lady, who
fairly dotes on her children, and
is very particular about their toi-
let's, had narrow escape recently
from losing one OF her darlings. It
was leaning out of a third story
window, when ii lost its balance,
and In a moment more would
have been dashed to pieces on the
crowded pavement below. For
tunately the mother seized IL just
as it was disappearing over the
window sill. Clasping the saved
cherub to her breathless breast,
the fond mother exclaimed, as
tears of gratitude flowed from her
uplifted eyes: IF that child had
fallen into the street with that
dirty dress on, / would never.
never have forgiven myself" And
she proceeded to dress it up in
style. so that, come what might,
the family would not be disgraced.

something Tangible About railroads

The December number Of the Phila-
delphia New Northeast a railroad ex-
ponent says:
We have informally heard from
New York that negotiations were
pending and nearly concluded, betwe
the Oregon Railway and Navigation
Company and the Northern Pacific
Company, for the construction in Joint
account of standard guage railroad
dom the Columbia river on the south
side from Wallula to The Dallcs the
road eventually to be extended to
Portland.
The plan substantially agreed on is
to be to build under the Northern Pa
cities charter, to use the Northern Pa
cifc's land grant, each company to own
the right to half of the use of the road
the Northern Pacific to issue it's
bonds in aid Of construction, the Ore
gon Company to pay the entire inter
est on those bonds for two or three
years, and after that both companies
to pay the interest equally, in the
mean time the Oregon Company to
have entire use of the road; the rails
to be steel and tifty-siX pounds, the
Northern Pacific to build from the
mouth of Snake down to Wallula
where the now road begins, and, after
the expiration of the two Or three
ears term mentioned, both companies
to operate the road and share its pro
fits equally. A division of the bust.
ness coming from the territory nearly
common to the two, is said to have
been agreed on.
But it is distinctly understood by
the representatives of the Oregon Nav.
igation and Railway Company that
the Northern Pacific will not vary OF
dclayits purpose to push it's main lin;
across the Cascade mountains from til,
mouth of Snake or thereabouts
strdi9M to its terminus and seaport on
Puget Sound, TACOMA, and the pub
lie can so understand it.
The work for this Columbia river di
, vision of the Northern Pacific road viii
commence immediately. The iron ant
locomotives have been ordered.
