SOME fruit growers who sprayed
once last spring and thereafter
neglected their trees only to find
them laden with worm eaten ap-
pies this fall are telling the editors
of their local papers that spraying
is all humbug, and that there Is
no possibility of escaping the
ravages of the Goblin moth in this
state; that the orchardist may just
as we'll sit down and suck his
thumbs for all the good he can do
his fruit. The printing of this
sort OF talk is calculated to do a
great deal of damage. 1t may
make some men neglect. next
spring. their evident duty, not
only to themselves, but to their
fellow horticulturists. Spraying
fruit trees is not a matter of ex-
pertinent at all, although many in
this state seem to think SO. The
Goblin moth, the woody aphis and
the San Jose scale, although COM
paratively recent pests in Oregon,
and still unknown in some parts
of the state, are by no means new
to many other sections of the
United States. Therefore the ad
vice of Prof. Washburn, the ear
nest entomologist of the State
Agricultural College, and the
warnings of the State Board of
Horticulture are not founded upon
guess work or as the result of a
brief investi cation upon their own
part, but upon the combined wis
dom of experimental stations and
practical fruit-growers all over the
country. The fact that apples
command high prices in city mar
kets, although thousands of BUSH
els will rot upon the ground this
fall, coupled with the close inspec-
ton and rejection by the state au-
thorities of Washington of all
orm-eaten fruit, brings the sub
ject of the determination of pests
most forcibly to the fore. One
bushel of apples free from blemish.

THE BILLION CONGRESS.

President Cleveland reduced tn
bonded debt only $341, ,396,9S9, o
exactly $13S, S,5S6,3OO less than i
had been reduced by Arthnr, will
smaller revenue at his command
yet so extravagant were the appro
priations of Cleveland's two dem
ocratic congresses, that the sur.
plus on March 4, 1889, when he
gave way to Harrison, was only
$4S,096,158.50, or only $26, ,464,-
S76.S3 more than the sum left him
by President Artur! If fCleveland
had paid as much of the debt as
Arthur did he would not have had
a surplus at all, but deficit of
$9o,OOO,OoO.
The surplus, as Cleveland left it
was $4S,O96.15S.5O. The amount
OF the bonded debt discharged un-
der Harrison up to June 80, 1891,
was $234,OO9.64O. In two years
and four months he has reduced
the per capita debt from $24.5O
where Cleveland left it, to $12.S7,
where it is to-day.
The Fifty-frst congress did not
appropriate lover billion of dol
lars" but just exactly $9SS,41O,-
139. or $170,446, ,269 more than
the Fiftieth congress. Of this
excess $25,3z1, ,9O7 was for a pen
sion deficiency which the demo-
Gratis of that congress dishonesty
lett unpaid; $22,667, ,343.5S was
for postoffice bills, three -fourths of
which will be returned to the
treasury; $780,, ,146.7O was for the
purchase of Indian lands that will
sell for three times their cost;
$14,O42,344.69 was to meet con-
tracts for naval vessels heretofor re
authorized, and $62,66S, ,536.99 to /
pay new pensions under the new
act authorized by the people in
1888. The balance went in census t
expenses, harbor lefenses and i'm
provements and Worlds fair ap-
preparations.
These facts and figures were all
set forth by Secretary Foster in
his analysis of the appropriations
of the last congress, to which he
devoted his speech before the re-

A LINE TO The PLATE.

One of the first and most important results
of the passage of the Ocean Mail Service Act
will be the establishment of an American line
with the River Plate ports. One of the pro-
posas Of the PostmasterG General calls for
steamers of 5000 tons to run from New ork
TO BuenoS Ayres, touching at MontevideO on
the outward course, and arriving in eighteen
DAYS. These steamers are to sail once in three
weeks and to make seventeen voyages year.
In returning from Buenos Ayres and Monte
yideo they are allowed to stop at Santos and
Rio at the contractors option. The voyage
from Rio is to be made in sixteen days. Bids
for this service, we are informed by Mr.. Hughes,
will be made by the NewYork and Cuba Mail
Line. If the bids are accepted three ships,
exceeding 5000 tons each and capable Of max
ing 16 knots, will be built for the service.
These will be vessels superior in every respect
to any steamships now under the American
flag
This result will be highly advantageous to
American commerce. European nations have
monopolized the trade of the Plate countries
owing to the lack of direct steam communica-
ton with New-York. American exporters have
been compelled to ship their goods by sailing
vessels, or else to have them tranSShipped at
Hamburg or Rio with increased transportation
charges and serious delay. The mail service,
moreover, has been very bad, requiring any
where from thirty to forty days. With direct
steam service by 16-knot ships mails will 90
down in eighteen days, and there will be n
rapid development of trade. When our staff
correspondent was in Montevideo last year he
asked one of the leading American merchants
what effect the establishment of a direct line
would have upon his business. The reply was.
alt will double my sales the first years Ii
will be a great gain for National prestige to
have the American flag seen in the waters OF
MOntevideo and Buenos Ayres, now crowded
with the merchant fleets of maritime Europe.

its energy and enterprise are rlvalled by othef

hearing upon the development OF American

master General will be justified in accommodate
ing himself to the requirements OF the existing
lines and of any new corporations which may
be formed
Extreme fussiness in minor details will de-
feat the main object Of the measure, which IS
the improvement of the commercial marine
The bill offers premiums, too small by third,
for the construction and operation OF vessels
caoable of making II, IA, 16 and 20 knots at
sea under sx-hour trials. So long as vessels
of these classes are provided, it is of minor I'M
portance whether all the details of the proposals
are complied with. Whenever an American
line presents a reasonable case for modifying
the requirements in non-essential points con-
cessions may properly be made. The proposals
are tentative, and there should be large de-
gree of official elasticity in the conditions I'M
posed upon contractors What the Nation
wants is a commercial marine worthy OF Its
maritime traditions, its industrial enterprise and
its new and popular navy.

PROGRESS OF RECIPROCITY.

RumOrs respecting the negotiation OF Reci-
procity Treaty between the United states ana
Santo Domingo are confirmed by "The World"
The agreement, it states, was signed in WASH
ington on June 4, has received the approval OF
President Heneaux, and IS TO go into effect on
September l. The treaty follows the general
lines OF the agreement with Brazil, and in re-
turn for the free market for sugar, coffee and
hides provides free schedule for certain food
products, agricultural implements, railway ma
terial and other articles, and reduction OF 20
per cent on canned meats and vegetables and
cotton and iron manufactures.
American trade with Santo Domingo, While
less important than commerce with Haytl, the
richer and more productive portion OF the
island, is steadily increasing. The imports re-
ceived in the United States from the republic
amounted last year to S1,951, 013, and the eX-
ports sent in exchange to S026,651. The mar
gin, while much smaller in proportion than that
disclosed by the statistics of Brazil trade, Is
sufficiently large TO justify an equitable read
iustment of exchanges on the basis of recpro-
cal trade. Santo Domingo is the first of the
West Indian Islands after Cuba and Puerto
Rico to comply with the requirements OF the
Reciprocity amendment Its example may have
an important effect in determining tho policy
of the British Islands, which have been capri
ciously towing with the loud and fashy ad-
vances of Canada The United States Is the
best market for 4the tropical produce of the
West Indies. IT will be converted under
equitable conditions of Reciprocity into their
natural base Of supplies.

Here's a state of things Tammany leaders
are threatened with desertion of their ancient
allies, the rumsellers, unless Mr.. Croker can
make good the promises to amend the Excise
laws in their interest. The present drawbacks
to a t!our1shing liquor trade, it appears, are
simply disheartenIng. The Democratic Excise
Superintendent not only exacts genuine real
estate bond, but his Tammany associates fear
to oppose him. and official blacltmailers are as
rapacious as ever. Who can wonder that the
worm has turned? Governor Hill and his asso-
oiates it is clear, can do no less for the saloon
keepers than they have done for their masters,
the brewers. If they refuse, it will be signal
to the ginshops to object to being worked"
anv longer. The effort to avert this calamity
will possess some interesting features
