A mUcH-NEEDED APPROPRIATION.

The Horticultural, yiticultural and
other societies recently petitioned the
Board OF Regents of the State University
TO create a chair of Entomology, and the
Board has complied with the request but
as it has no means for carrying on this
branch OF science it becomes necessary to
ask the Legislature for an appropriation of
at least s., 600 annually for the support of
Professor This is highly.importan
matter, 1t affects very large interests
all over the State. 1t involves researches
into the insect pests which are proving
such serious drawbacks to the progress of
viticulture, horticulture and agriculture
generally. 1t is desirable that the phyllox-
era, scale bug, codling moth, ETC., should
be attacked scientifically, and without
delay. Whatever assistance the State can
give to this project it is in duty bound to
extend. All who are interested in the
industries above referred to will do well to
Join the RECORD UNION in urging upon the
Legislature the necessity of inserting the
required appropriation in the appropria-
ton bill. Time is an element OF the first
importance in such proceedings, and there
fore the money should be made available
az once. The sum asked for is mere
triAe, but very great benefits are to be
anticipated from its application under

SECRETARY KIRKWooD's ALLEGED DIS
QUALIFICATION.

A Washington dispatch states that Sec
rotary of the Interior Kirkwood will prob
ably have to resign his Cabinet position,
for the singular reason that he is altogether
too conscientious in the performance of his
official duties. 1t is said that he actually
refuses to sign any paper which he has not
read, and that as a result his desk is loaded
down with piles of documents which he
cannot find leisure to go through, yet
which he will not do anything with until
ne has examined them. If this is the case
Secretary Kirkwood is certainly in very
bad way. In the past we have had Secre-
taries OF the Interior who were so ready to
sign papers they knew nothing about that
occasionally they became parties to serious
frauds upon the government. To the I'M
initiated it would seem that Mr.. Kirk
woods resolution was very wholesome
one, and that in fact it was the only prin-
ciple upon which he could transact the
business of his Office intelligently or faith
fully But it appears that such positions
necessitate the blind acceptance of great
many things, and that whoever attempts
to grasp the whole work of department
will be defeated by the rapid accumulation
of business, for the settlement of which
there is not sufficient time. If, however,
Secretary Kirkwood has made an under
estimate of his work and an overestimate
Of his capacity, it should be easy to rectify
this mistake without resigning. 1t
would be pity to lose Cabinet officer
who appears at least to have set out with
such clear and sound ideas as to the extent
Of his responsibility, for his view on the
subject is evidently novel one at Wash

The latest reports indicate that Earl
Beaconfield viii in all probability re.

he VIII make use of the warning he has re-
ceived, and withdraw from public life.
Should he fully recover, however, it is a

that he will keep on in the old grooves IN
I'll, like nearly all veteran statesmen, he
dies in harness. As rule retirement

Ii the blood be thin and watery the whole
system is impoverished. The flesh is fabby,
the muscles lack hardness, the nerves are
relaxed, the internal organs but imperfectly
perform their functions, the brain is inert.
and, in short, the entire body is only half
alive. The stomach is mainly responsible for
this wretched condition Of the human machine
Stimulate and tone that organ with Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters, and marked change
for the better will soon be apparent. The
result Of improving the digestion with this
potent and genial tonic will be the conversion
OF the food into rich. pure blood, and as the
blood is the raw material from which flesh,
muscle, brain, bone, and every membrane,
tissue and ligament of the body are manufac-
tured, all these eomponeEts of the material
frame will be gradually regenerated and in
yigorated. This is sound doctrine and is
sustained by the logic of facts.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.
IN THE POLICE COURT PROCEEDINGS, AS

IN THE POLICE COURT PROCEEDINGS, AS
published in the Bee of April 9th, man who
was arrested for cruelty to animals, claimed in
extenuation that he was horse breaker, and the
cruelty practiced was done in carrying out the
system as taught by sRoF TAPP. 1t seems strange
that such plea should be allowed, when thousands
of the best people, not only of this city and county
but OF the State and country at large after witness
ing the performances of PROF TAPP, have I'M
hesitatingly asserted that his system is not only
the most effective, but the most humane and
merciful system ever practiced in the handling of
wild and vicious horses. The "TAPP SYSTEM, .
is so far from recognizing any cruelty, that the

mons, whose threat was cut from ear to ear,
her little boy four years old, whose brains
were dashed out on a rock, and Mrs. Emily
Parker, the mother of Mrs. Simmons who
seems to have been strangled The first
thought was that John Simmons, husband
and father, who has had a bad reputation in
the place, was the murderer; but sheep
herder, named Phillips, was arrested last
night on suspicion. A pair of suspenders,
known to have belonged to Phillips, was
found tied around Mrs. Simmons legs, and
his gun was found near her with blood upon
it. These facts and other circumstances
seems to show that Mrs. Simmons, and per-
haps her mother, was outraged and then
killed.
NEW ORLEANS, April 16th.-On Sunday
evening terrible tragedy occurred at Bayou
SQUIRREL, Herville Parish, one hundred miles

states that a number of negroes had been en-
ployed there, cutting timber for j. o. Torrey

bling, Cube Austin and Elijah Wall quar-
relied. Next day eight of the men-among
them Austin and Wall-went in boat to the
supply store, three miles away, where whisky
was freely drank. The quarrel was renewed,
and Austin drew knife and drove Wall
from the camp, threatening death il he came
back. Wall went to negro cabin, forclely
secured shotgun, double loaded 1t, and, IN
ambush, awaited the appearance OF the boat.
