New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1880-12-10

Mr. Chittenden yesterday succeeded in pass
ing through the House the bill which author
ICES the Chamber of Commerce TO place Ill
the b-Treasury building a statue or group
cOmmemoratng the first Inauguration of
Washington. There Is every assurance, from
the auspices under which the movement is
made that this will be a work of which the
city may be proud, and not one of those
hideous excrescences with which personal
vanity and official ignorance cOnspire to pop
ulate our parks and public places. There is
no spot in the city historically more interest
ing and 1t deserves this commemoratiOn.

Ii was fortunate that Mr. French, the Black
wells Island missionary, who WAS threatened
with discharge if he testified before the Senate
Committee on Insane Asylums, had too much
manliness and too much of the frmness of his
principles to obey the orders he received.
His testimony yesterday disclosed some ex-
traOrdinary abuses that have come I'M
der his eye during the past few years.
The worst of these was the detention
of insane patients after they had been
cured in order 10 make use OF them as ser
wants. seamstresses, etc. Mr.. French testified
to detentious of this sort of two years and six
months respectively, and detentons counted
by weeks seem to have been not infrequent.
His outline picture of the treatment to which
patients can be, and have. been, subjected, is
more shocking by what it suggests than by
what it says. Other abuses less vital, bat
still outrageous in an institution of that kind,
are described, Much of Mr.. French's testi-
mony dealt with the past rather than the
present, but it seemed TO show sufficient
cause for a much more thorough investigation
of the BlackwelPs Island Insane Asylum than
the Senate Committee have been able to give it,

The Senate Commi tee on Municipal En-
penses strayed away from the plain path OF
duty yesterday, and became sadly mired IN
the boys of local politics. The especial cause
of debate was the expected action of the
Mayor and Aldermen to-day. The Committee
succeeded in producing some lively reading Tor
the newspapers, but 1t cannot be SAID that
they added much to their own, or the pub
lies. information about the City Government.

II appears that the people of st. Johns are
indignant because the British Government
had admitted our right 10 indemnity for the
Fortune Bay outrage. 1t would be more
proper for the NewfOundlanders to be indiG-
nant at the misconduct which has rendered
any claim necessary. When the fishery ques-
ton comes up again for general settlement,
they will find, no doubt, that England, pur-
suing the same course, will consult her own
interests regardless of colonial jealousy and
stupidity.

,Mulching Fruit and Other Trees,

gMulching Fruit and Other Trees,
Mulcling is an auxiliary IN the
hands Of an intelligent and experienc
ed fruit grower by which he is en-
abled to protect The roots of bis fruit
and other trees and shrubs against
heat an cold, drought and sudden
changes of the weather; also toscheck
early flow of sap In the spring and
thus saves tue Fruit buds from late
frosts. To use mulching to an advan-
tage requires careful thought and good
judgement. Some object must be in
view, and work in that direction phil
osophical principles. There are times
during the growing season when ths
ground becomes dry and hot. A
little of the right kind of mulching at
such times. and spread on the ground
over the roots of the trees and wet
once or twice week, win not only be
the means of saving thu trees, but
keep them in good, healthy, growing
condition. Great care should be taken
not to leach the ground about the
roots by constantly dashing on water.
Thousands of promising trees are Kill
led annually by so doing, especially
those thai have recently been trans
planted. In all cases mulch first,
and then wet the mulching Let the
ground absorb moisture from the mul-
ching. In, regard to mulching fruit and
other trees and shrubs for winter
protection, it depends altogether upon
what condition the ground is in late
in the fall. If it is hry The mulch
should be applied and kept wet until
the ground becomes properly saturat-
ed with, moisture; but if late in the
fall and the ground is as wet asst is
now no mulching is required. Fruit
trees should be mulched late in the
winter or early in tue spring when the
ground is well frozen about the roots.
and kept in that condition till freez-
ing isoyer n!the spring. Probably more
trees are killed or injured at that
season of the year than any other.
A few warm days early in the spring,
if trees are not mulched, will excite
their roots to action. and then sud
den change of the wealth r and hard
freeze is almost sure to rupture the
roots and the bark of the trees near
the surface ofthe ground. Grape roots
and the roots of rose bushes should
be managed the same as fruit trees,
The vine and rose bushes should be
taken down late in the fall, trimmed
and covered with nothing but moist
earth. Improperly done at the right
time there can be no question but
what they will meout perfect in the
