seriptiye Of the effects Of labor troubles

Planting Trees for Timber.

Prof J4azenby, of Carroll University,
says: "To make timber plentiful, and to
render our climate more genial, we
must reclothe all rugged, broken land
and rocky crests, in fact every acre that
is no. cultivated or is cultivated at loss
with valuable forest trees.
First.-All ravines and steep hillsides,
all land too rocky to be thoroughly
cleaned of stone and plowed, should be
devoted to trees
Second Protecting belts of timber
should be planted wherever buildings,
orchards, gardens, etc, are exposed to
cold, sweeping winds.
Third.-The banks of streams, ponds,
open bitches, etc, should be so planted
with trees that they will be protected
from abrasion by floods and rapid cur
rents.
All public roads should be belted by
graceful, stately trees.
We should preserve, improve, and ex-
tend our existing forests by keeping up
a constant succession of young growing
trees of the best varieties. To do this
i is first neces sary:
First To allow no stock to run in
yoodlots for purpose of forage. This
hnnld hs q xule iR9exible and relentless.
Second Young growth in forests
hould be thinned moderately and judi
iously. Worthless varieties should be
ut out and valuable sorts should be
trimmed up so as to grow tall, forming
runk rather than branches
Third .-Timber should be cut with
intelligent reference to future growth
1aluable trees that YOU wish to propa-
ate should be cut in the spring. Those
hat you wish to extarminate should be
ut in August.

The speech of Mr.. McComas. The only
Republican emc'ssessrSvrss. " from
MARYLAND in the House Of Congress
Tuesday was one Of the very best made
on the Republican side during the en-
tire session of Congress When Mr.
McComas concluded he was surrounded
by his political associates on the floor
and was kept busy for some minutes re-
ceiving their congratulations When in
the course of his arrangement of the
Democratic party for its Management of
public affairs he charged its leaders
with design to stide civil service reform
the colloquy between him and Mr.. Ran
dali was interesting, and The chairman
of the committee on appropriations found
the member from Western MARYLAND
alert and vigorous and fully able to take
care of himself When he said in Ma
ryland, as elsewhere, the ciyiLservice-
law had been weakened and evaded,
Mr. Compton asked him to cite one in
stance Mr. McComas said every other
democrat from Allegany to dorchester
was talking about it. and if Mr. Comp
ton had time to spare from listening in
the lobby to the appeals Of bis con-
stituents to get tLcm office, he could
read in the Baltimore Sun how the
civil-service-law hal been eyaded in the
Baltimore postofice, Mr.. NeComas
claimed that all the promises Of DEM
oeratic reform had been violated; that
the expenditures of government had
been increased since the advent Of the
present administration; tina. there was
d iicit ofS22 600 600 Between estimated
revenues aui Tue actual appropriations
for 1887, and declared it was mockery
for the tariff thinkers to talk of cutting
down the surplus revenues under sucb
circumstances As said above, spsech

Republican standpoint.
