soon after the fruit is set. Earring the
trees and catching the fallen insects
upon sheets spread upon the ground is
the only effective remedy. Plant-lice
often appear in great numbers at the
ends of the branches of cherry, pear
and other fruit trees. If these can be
bent down and dipped into strong
soap-suds, the insects may be killed.

THE NATIONAL PARK,

There is a deep seated feeling in Montana
that the great nation is belittling itself in
the eyes of the world in its short-sighted
and parsimoniOus policy in connection with
the National park of the Yellowstone.
The proposed appropriation of the petty
sum of $40, 600 is wholly inadequate to the
accomplishment of any improvement not
only, but absolutely insufficient to maintain
the improvements that have already been
made. According to the report of the en-
gineer in charge, Lieut.. Kingman, at least
hundred miles Of new road should be
built and hundred more improved during
the ensuing year. The fact is that
the park should have an appro-
priation not only for its material improve
ment but to establish a court there with
territorial jurisdiction. AS it is now, all
offenses must be tried in the Wyoming
courts, en:a ling great hardships upon
tourists who may technically transgress
any of the rules of the park. As Congress
man PAYsoN, of Illinois, and others can
attest from their own experience. To ac-
complish all that is necessary, Mon
tanlans think an appropriation of q
quarter of a million dollars would
not be too much for the next year. Then
but comparatively small appropriations
would be necessary. Through the par
simonous policy of congress last year Supt.
WIER, the best superintendent the park has
had since the first. Mr.. LANDLORD, of st
Paul, was forced to resign and the reserva-
ton was turned over to the military
for police protection. This was {
false step. 1t is an idea repug
nant to the free American citizen ant
his guests from abroad, that he shall be
confronted by federal bayonets at every
turn. There is a flavor of martial law
about it which is not popular. The general
government has spent many millions Of
dollars to little purpose. now may it not
spend few hundred thousand dollars tx
open up the natural attractions of the grea
National park?

ARTFuL SENATORS

1t is said that the compromise interstate
commerce bill. now pending in both houses
of congress, has drawn to Washington the
lar gest railroad lobby seen there since the
days when passing land grant bills in the
interest of corporations was the favorite
diversion of congress. Of course the Or
ganization of this powerful lobby has but
one meaning. 1t is to compass the death
of the proposed bill. The senate postponed
the consideration of the bill until after the
holidays. Several state legislatures meet
early in January, and senators who are seek
ing re- election desire to defer action on the
bill until the election is over. If they
voted for the bill it would place them in an
awkward position before the corporations,
to whom many of them owe the seats they
now occupy. If they voted against the bill

Kissed twice. This country can put up with
a good many insults, but when it comes to
kissing the warbling linnet of the sage
bush the insult act is being overdone. The
polite Parisians explain that 1t was because
she broke so badly in her last aria. The
apology is not accepted. The right to break
is constitutional with the American song
stress. If it wasn't we would soon have
no singers. 1t is evident that the critical
Parisians do not understand our PLAN, DEM
