AN ecOo MILE FENCE.
The Only Method Left TO Fight Rabbit
Pest in Queensland.

James Watson, one q the largest land
owners Of Victoria, Australia, says jack rc5
lsts are so formidable that the Australian
Government IN building fence Of wire net
ting 5000 miles long TO divide New South
Wales from Queensland and bar the pests
out. They have not yet got into Queensland,
and the government is moving heaven and
earth 10 get this check OF them. Prior To
this hundreis OF methods have been tried.
Apples mpregnated with arsenic have oeen
cut and scattered over the country. In this
way the increase in some portions has been
stoppet, but il is not radical enough. Be
sides, the cost is too great. IL takes ten
bushels Of apples for every 600 rabbits. There
are millions and billions Of the pests, and
there are no. apples enough TO feed TO them.
Phosphate Of oats succeeded for while, but
the phosphate coon lost its effect.
Australia is paying no less than sl25 ,O0C
per year to keep the rabbits down on what is
known as crown lands. The government
paws ten cents q pair for all that are killed,
and expert men make from $50 10 go per
week at it. The government still keeps
standing its offer OF 500 600 TO any man who
will hit on something TO efectually eradicate
tho pests Lands out in the rabbit district
have greatly deteriorated in price. Many
places where taree or four years ago land was
worth $50 an acre won't bring s..
Watson says he started a cannery, killing
and canning rabbits and sending them 70
England. The first rabbits were taken over
from England only ten years ago and were
introduced for sporting purposes, nobody hay-
ing any idea they would spread so rapidly.
A man from South America a couple Of
months ago brought two dozen skunks that
IL thought would settle the rabbits but pc
pie are dubious about them, for skunks in
crease very rapidly too and If allowed 70
gain foothold probably the last state will
be worse than the first.
Mr.. Watson says the Australians are
anxiously looking for some invention or
remedy that Will put quietus on rabbits.
II must come soon or many Of the great in
dustries in the colony will be raralyzed.
The 600 mile fence which is being made
to keep rabbits out Of Queensland Is the
greatest enterprise Of tho kind ever begun IN
the world is construction is attended with
great cost but it is deemed wiser 70 undergo
this expense than let the pests override tho
entire country. Francisco Cor New

Now, while the discussion is not on
the recent evils of trading candidates The
politicians should consider the necessity
OF dedica,ing one day 10 the election OF
President, so that the people may use
their votes without the possibility Of
having the greatest office of the country
subjected 10 the ordeal OF skill in trading
and gambling between few local rings
The States can decide 1t for themselves
by putting their local and Congressional
elections on different days from the Pres
iden,ial election, or Congress can do II
BY declaring that the Presidential cleo
ton shall not be held on the same DAY
with any other election.

that the Southern returning boards are
engaged in an organized conspiracy 10
defraud Republican candidates for Con
gress of their election in Louisiana, North
Carolina or anywhere else. The fact that
these boards are Democratic is certainly
not Of itself conclusive against their
honesty any more than the fact that Re

one instance have proved scandalously
dishonest, is proof that they are all Of
that character.
We fear that some of our Republican
friends are exhibiting an injudicious

North, which is calculated 10 cast cloud
over the fair prospects Of the incoming

SPEECHES GALORE.
Lots of Talk Promised in Con-
greSS This Week.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-SenatOr Stew
art has expressed his intention of press
ing the bill for the admission of Wash
ington Territory to vote as early as
possible. 1t has been the unfinished
business on the legislative calendar of
of the senate for several weeks and will
probably be disposed of without much
further delay. Senator Turpie will ask
that the regular order be laid aside
Tuesday to give him chance to
make speech in reply to
Senator Chandler, on Southern po-
litical methods. The bills for the
admission of North Dakota and Mon
tana are on the programme for cOnsid-
Grafton after the Washington Territory
bill is disposed of. A number Of
speeches are expected during the week
on the presidents retaliation message.
Tomorrow will be Individual suSpen-
sion day in the house, and under the
rule an attempt will be made to pass
the Hooker resolution authorizing the
president to suspend the collection OF
the duty on cotton bagging during the
existence of the trust. Mr.. O'Neil, of
Missouri, is also DESTROYS of an Oppor-
tunity to call up for passage his contract
labor bill. The retaliatory bill is the
special order fer Tuesday,, and its con-
sideration may run along for another
day. The remainder of the week will
probably be consumed in the effort to
act finally on the conference reports on
the appropriation bills which remain
undiSpoSed of, namely, the Sundry civil,
Notifications and army bills.
