FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE II. 1890.
Burdette on the Blackberry.

Burlington Hawkeye.
The greatest enemy the blackberry has
is boys. Five boys from town can eat
more green blackberries in day than
would ripen in a week. For many years
the great desideratum has been a hardy
berry that could resist the premature on
slaught of boys from town. 1t is great
desideratum still. The Schneider, vari-
ETY. that was invented by an Iowa hortl-
culturist, is the nearest approach to 1t. IL
is bred from perfectly green persimmon
crossed with a dOgwood tree, and still 1ar-
ther propagated with hybrid OF worm
wood bush and wild crabapple. 1t Is not
a perfect defense but there are very lew
boys who care to eat more than a quart OF
them. Nobody else, however, can 20 past
the field where the Schneider is growing,
without being attacked by Asiatic cholera,
and this tends to weaken the partial sue
cess this hardy berry has achieved. linen
there is a bug-I do not know the name
of it-that crawls over the berries now
and then. When you eat berry that has
been glorified by visit from this bug,
YOU lie down in the briars and pray
Heaven to take you home in just about
three seconds. And if you live you can
wake up in the night, along in the middle
VI HchG "lulCI, dhu ohuAASA 10 wv s'sSe>~
that berry.
When your blackberries grow too thick
ly, you will want to thin them out. TO this
end, you must kill some of them. This
can be done by digging we'll where the
plant stands; then turn the farm upside
down and let it dry out thoroughly for a
couple of years, then turn it over, upside
down. and start brickyard on the back OF
it. 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 it, and IT
isn't likely that there is any.
If you want to devote about forty acres
of ground to the cultivation of blackber-
ries, 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 on the other side
the road will bring civil action against you,
and try to collect damages for destruction
of his two fields of wheat by a raid OF
blackberry vines.
1t is not known just at what season ol
the year blackberries ripen. The black.
berry has never been known to ripen. II
the hucksters and boys should all die in
June, it is probable that the berries woulc
ripen some time in July or August. But
they have never had a chance to see What
they could do at ripening.

AMERICAN CORN IN RUSSIA,

1t appears from recent article In the Lon
don Examiner that England Is not the only
nation affected by American competition.
The Russians are complaining deeply of It..
For some time past the struggle between
them and the people OF this country for the
supremacy of the European corn trade has
been a severe one, but now, 1t is said, the
Americans have so far developed their
strength that they have actually commenced
carrying corn to Odessa, which, to an Eng
lishman's mind must resemble shipping coal
to Newcastle. Very recently an American YES
sci is reported to have touched at Odessa
with corgo Of corn for the famine stricken
people Of the Caucasus. One would have
naturally supposed that as corn is as abun-
dant as dirt in the interior of Rus sia, 1t would
have been cheaper to have exported the grain
from Odessa instead OF bringing 1t all the
way across the Atlantic. But this does not
appear to be the case, owing to the excessive
freights demanded and the corrupt system of
substituting the railways Of Russia and the
steamboat communication In the Black Sea.
During last fall the provincial papers of Rus
sia frequently complained that thousands OF
tons of corn were rotting along the side of
the southern railways, owing to the absence
OF proper granaries to protect 1t from the
weather and the inadequacy of the rolling
stock to transport 1t to the sea.

Can murderer claim property willed to
him by his victim? This question is now
awaiting an ans wer by the English courts.
It will be remembered that one De Tourville
murdered his wife In the Austrian Tyrol In
1876 by hurliDg her over precipice She was
wealthy, and had left O will giving her prop
erty to De Tourville In the event that she
died childless. The murderer was tried In
the Austrian courts, his guilt established,
and he was sentenced to death. For some
reason the sentence was commuted to Inn
prisonment for eighteen years. AS De Tour
Vile La still young man, 1t is not unlikely
that he will live to serve out his term, and, II
the courts so decide, to enjoy his blood
bought wealth. His wife's relatives claim
that he is not entitled to derive benefits under
the will to which he gave effect by an infa-
nous crime, and have carried the question
before the English tribunals-De Tourville's
wife being an English woman and her prop
erty being In that country-for determine
ton. The case naturally excites some In
tprast.

THE TARIFF ON PAPER.

The arguments to be- used In favor of re-
ducing the tariff on paper bring to mind
the forcible language Of Thomas H. Benton
In his heroic war against the tariff on salt.
Mr. Benton referred to Its great necessity to
mans sustenanoe and health, and to the uni
versatility OF It's supply; referred to the words
OF the Savior, wherein he said to his disciples,
Eye are the salt OF the EARTH" he alluded
also to a custom of the ancients, who regarded
the eating OF salt at ones table as bond OF
perpetual friendship. Benton declared the
tariff on salt as equivalent to tax
on air or water, and stigmatized 1t as
a crime against God and humanity. This
tariff on articles used In the manufacture of
printing paper is direct blow at the art
preventative OF all arts" clog upon intel
lectual progress. and seriously interferes
with the freedom of the press. 1t is with
great satisfaction. therefore, that we observe
that the House Ways and Means Committee
has reported In favor Of placing on the free
list some OF the articles used In the manufac-
ture of paper and reducing the duty on
others. As might be expected, Eastern man
ufacturers oppose any reduction, while West
ern and Southern members are almost unani-
mously In favor Of the reduction contem-
plated Now let the Western and Southern
members join hands. for once at least In be-
half OF their mutual interests.
It is curious fact that the very manufac-
turers who declared that the price OF paper
would not be materially affected by the re-
moval of the tariff on the articles entering
into the composition OF paper. are the very
ones who now enter the lists most tiercely to
prevent the passage OF the bill. 1t Is good
measure, necessary measure, one affecting
vast number OF interests, and which there
can be no good reason urged against. We
trust the Louisiana Representatives In Con-
gress will give the bill their most earnest
snnnnrt and thereby earn the thanks of their
entire constituencies. The paper manufac-
tories In this country have been coining
money out of the newspapers and publishing
houses for years, and 1t Is time now that the
interests OF the consumers and the OF reading
public ct large should be consulted.

1t Is something unusual for month to go
by without some addition to the British EN-
pire. This has certainly not occurred since
Beaconsfield has been In power. The latest
addition to highlands domain is the island Of
Rotumah, In the Pacific ocean. The soil lie
fertile and the country thickly settled. The
island was annexed @ few weeks ago by Sill
Arthur Gordon, on the ground that the two
hostile factions into which the inhabitants are
divided were Strengthening each other, and il
was the duty of civilized power like Great
Britain to step In and prevent this slaughter
by annexing the island.

OUR ZOE SUPPLY.

The DEMOCRAT, some days ago. commented
on the action of the Louisiana Ice Company
la putting up the price OF Its artificial pro-
duct from $40 to So per ton and congratu-
lated the community upon the fact that the
Crescent City Ice Company had declined to
advance the price of Boston Ice beyond $40
per ton; and we are now gratifed to an
nounoe that the former company has recon-
sidered its action and reduced the price to
the old figure.
This evlnces a regard for public opinion
which is highly commendable, and we trust
that, Notwithstanding the attempt to COM
bine on the part OF tue Ice dealers North, In
order to put up the price Of Ice during the
coming summer, our citizens will be enabled
to secure an ample supply at the reasonable
rates that now prevail. The ice crop, 1t Is
true, Is not 80 abundant as In ordinary, years,
but recent freezes In the regions where most
of the natural ice consumed In New Orleans Is
procured, have enabled the Ice gatherers to lay
Ia all the stock necessary to fill their orders for
the South. Most, 1t not all dealers In the South
ern cities, where ice Ia more Of a necessity
than a luxury, have had the foresight to con-
tract for their supplies In advance, and there

that may be made at the North, and I'VE do
not believe 1t possible that there can be any
combination among the dealers In this city,
inasmuch as the amount on hand and to be
received and manufactured will be ample for
all purposes. We learn that the superintend-
ent of the Louisiana Ice Company has gone
North to contract for the delivery Of a large
amount of natural Ice. In order to have an
abundance for any possible emergency, and
to provide for the contingency of the INSULT
Client supply of tho manufactured product.
The time, we suspect, Is not far distant
! when improvements In the method Of making
artificial Ice will enable every city in the
South to provide It's own supply at rates even
lower than those now charged, but 1t Is quite
possible that the natural ice will always be
useful as a check upon the manufacturers
who would, we're there no importation of ice'
be free to put up prices as they chose. We
shall, therefore, be glad to see both Industries
thrive, inasmuch as competition is the life Of
trade and the best protection Of the public
against exorbitant rates.

Mr. James Cochrane, OF New York, has q
grand plan by which he proposes to convert
New York bay into fresh-water harbor.
Artificial dams with locks are to be built at
the Narrows and at Throgg's Neck on the
sound shutting out the ocean tides and turn
ing the upper bay and rivers into fresh
water lake, with level five or six feet above
than present level at high tide. Mr.. Cochrane
thinks that this would flood the Jersey flats,
thus redeeming them from insalubriousness,
secure uniform and sufficient depth OF
water In the harbor, wash out the channels
and furnish large mechanical power. The
plan would cost several hundred million
dollars, drown out a large portion of New
York and render 1t inaccessible to vessels In
winter, as the bay would be one solid block OF
lee Other wise the plan is D promising one.

money,

The New York World gives some interesting
figures concerning the cost of parliamentary
elections In Great Britain. or the 652 men,
bers of Parliament only 1877 were elected at
the last general election without opposition.
The money spent on the elections In the other
districts was for England and Wales $2.112,-
$50, Scotland $597,40O and Ireland $403, 400;
total $3.112, 100. The most expensive district
was North Durham, which cost the four cam
didates that contested 1t $14t.000. The aver
age amount spent In each English district
was 5000, $4,000 for each conservative candi-
date and $40, 800 for each Liberal candidate
A Scottish nj. 2. needs $1,000 to be elected,
while In Ireland the cost la only $2655. High
as these prices may appear In this country
they are small as compared with the cost OF
Parliamentary elections half century ago. In
1859 1t cost Lord Spencer $350,000 to be elected
from Northampton: In the fight between the
Duke Of Portland and Sir James Lowthes for
M. ?. OF Westmoreland, In 176S, $450,0O0 was
spent; while In 1901 the cost OF the election
In Yorkshire was $75O.000. Even as late as 1866
one candidate alone spent In Yarmouth $780,
900, and was thrown out for bribery after
election. The mnst costly English election
on record was that which took place In York
shire In 1907 between Viscount Milton, Wing
Hon. Henry Las celles, Tory, and Wliber-
force, the great an lavery leader. Over
81, 800, 900 was spent II his election. 1t must
be remembered that this sum In it's purchas-
ing power was fully three times as great as
1t Ia to-day.

THE DIPLOMATIC HUMBUG,

During a discussion of the consular and
diplomatic appropriation bill In committee Of
the whole, Mr.. Blackburn, of Kentucky
made vigorous assault on the ministers
plenipotenttary," asserting that he did not
believe that the country had any interest to
be- protected or promoted by continuance of
the diplomatic system. There was. h. said,
no earthly use for a minister at any capital of
Europe. Did trouble arise with Spain, the
minister resident was ignored, and Mr..
Gushing, of Massachusetts, must needs be
sent as special envov to settle matters. Did
complications arise with Great Britain, it was
not the minister resident that settled the diff
fculty, but a tribunal Of arbitrators con-

The old row has again broken out In that
Pittsburg church. The Woodside and anti
Woodside faction had another pitched battle
on Monday. The immediate cause OF the diff,
ficulty was the election Of trustees. When
the anti-Woodsiders reached the janitor'e
house, which they had selected as the place
for the election, they found the Woodsiders
already in possession. An attempt to assert
their rights preoipitated a conflict, and the
police had to be called In to separate the com
batants. The Woodsiders remained in pos
session of the field, and their claim for first
blood Is allowed.
