FRUIT CULTURE.

The time is past when farmers can
raise good fruit without taking some
measures to meet the insect depredations
and fungus diseases that are now so
prevalent. The advantages gained by
the use of insecticides and fungicides
have been SO long and thoroughly tested
with the Goblin moth, aphides and other
insects, the black spot Fusiclartinm
dentriticum) which is quite prevalent in
some portions of the state-grape rot,
mildew, etc., that they are no longer an
experiment and the can be recommend
ed and relied upon without reserve.
The apparatus for spraying is simple
and can be operated by any one, and the
cost of the pump and material is nom
insl.
A few boxes of apples or pears saved
by its use in a single garden or orchard
will meet the expenses. If large ma
chine is needed for large trees a number
of ueighbors may operate the same
Pumps are made especially adapted to
this work and may be obtained at our
hardware stores. The most important
part of the whole apparatus is the noz-
zle, for upon this depends the efficiency
OF the work. 1t is absolutely necessary
to have very fine spray to do good
work, as all the foliage and fruit must be
thoroughly wet but not drenched 1t is
a lamentable fact that many of our
gardeners and orchardists, will still aver
that their trees and fruits are free from
pests of various kinds year by year, and
at the same time they are unable eto bring
to our markets single box of ripened
fruit, which is free from worms. The
truth is, every orchard about us is in
fected more or less, and only those who
will fight our insect enemies may expect
their orchards to be munerative.
Our orchardists ahould wake up to the
fact that it will soon be too late to save
their trees if they continue to cry. as
they did last year, that orcharding, in
Oregon, is failure, notwithstanding the
fact that sound apples were sold in this
market the past winter at $3.50 box.
The future outlook in prices for all
kinds OF fruits is encouraging, and the
few progressive men will fight against
the fruit pests, and find it profitable
business.
We have good and wholesome state
law which requires every abiding
citizen to cleanse his trees, fruit, fruit
boxes, ETC., and imposing certain penal
ties for the failure to comply with its re-
quirements. If you are too lazy to do
any or all these things, cut down your
trees and leave them at once and do not
allow them it to infest your neighbours
trees by spreading millions of their fun
gus spores in the air, and millions more
of insect pests, as they is sure to do in a
few weeks.

Expensive Portraits.

The ladies of Gotham are very good to
the gentlemen of this place. They are
presenting them with miniatures of
themselves exquisitely painted on ivory
Time was when simple photo, card size,
was good enough for anybody's best fell
low. Then a cabinet must be bought
for him, or panel nearly as large as life
and as natural as the camera could make
it. Now it costs twenty-five dollars to
give ones likeness to ones divinity, for
it must be upon the finest of polished
ivory and so beautifully tinted that none
but real artist can do the work.
= The most approved ivory hkenesses are
no larger than the pictures of George
Washington upon our postage stamps
And they are designed to be fitted within
locket which IS to be worn upon the
watch chain. Twenty-fve dollars is the
very cheapest sum for which the ivory
likeness can be obtained. They used to
cost fifty dollars, but an artist who
makes speciality of them says, 'sThey
cost no more than twenty-five in Lun-
non: And so one must pay no more
than that in this country.
Another dainty personal gift is like
ness of ones self painted upon coffee
cup which is to adorn the bachelor
quarters of ones best love. If painted
by an artist who understands china
painting. the colors do not change in the
firing, and the effect is as lovely as could
be desired
Still another way of giving ones like
ness to ones best boy is by having it
painted upon the inside of the case Of his
watch. This method possesses one ad-
vantage over those previously mentioned,
namely, that of endurance Seasons
may wax and wane. Time. may come
and time may go, but as long as the
ticking of that particular watch goes on,
just SO long will the dainty, smiling
features look out from the inside of the
golden cover. Nothing can erase it and
nothing can cover it up save another
picture painted over it. And shame be
upon the artist who could be prevailed
upon to do so ruthless deed.-New

sympathy with sun.rine.

Unless there be some sympathy with
suffering there will be nothing done for
its relief, and the ties of human brother
hood will be quickly sundered. IF it is
a blessing that we are unable to feel the
full. force of another's sorrow, it is no
less blessing that we have the capacity
of feeling part of, it. And this capacity
usually needs development rather than
restraint. For few who may grieve
unwarrantably for their fancied insensi-
bility there are multitudes who are sadly
deficient in sympathy and never grieve
at all about it. 1t should never be for-
gotten that all social happiness, all mu-
tual benefactions and all true benevo-
lenee are founded on the presence of
sympathy. Were it not for this we
should be miserable and misery giving
egoists. ts.-Nev York Ledger.

THE MINORITY REPORT.

The minority report of the Legislative
Committee to investigate the Bardsley
scandal does not leave much of the major
ity report worth mentioning. Indeed, that
striking example of political whitewash
was nearly done to death by the Gov
ernor's message, but it was reserved for
Fow and Skinner to give it the coup de
grace
The minority first score point by show
ing that, while the majority committee
spent the greater part of the present year
in refusing to investigate, they have as a
result of the few meetings held recently
jumped to the conclusion that the Audi
tor General and Treasurer are "wholly
free from blame" That it was not the
business Of the committee to reach either
this or the opposite conclusion, but only to
submit the evidence to the Senate for its
action the minority makes quite clear.
Beyond that, notwithstanding the eff
forts of the majority to keep from
investigating, they were not able
to prevent enough testimony from coming
before them to lead to a very different con-
clusion. The minority cogently point to
the admissions of Boyer and McCamant
that they knowingly left money in Bards-
ley's hands in violation of the law, con-
trarv to the oath of Office and in detri-
ment to the interests of the State The
view of public Office which exonerates
such conduct is most effective in condemn
ing itself.
Placing the majority and minority re-
ports side by side will show the lmpossi-
bility of ignoring the evidence or white
washing the recusant officials

THE NEW NAVAL, POLICY.

The class of vessels to which it is re-
ported Secretary Tracy intends TO direct
the chief expenditure is interesting from
many points of view. The class the Sec
retary will recommend the next Congress
TO spend the largest sums on is the
smaller gunboats of from 1000 to 1,2OO
tons displacement
The fact that in constructing the i'm
menSe ships modelled on the type of the
European naval vessels expenditures are
proceeding on the line of hazardous and
costly experiment has often been pointed
out in these columns The great vessels
that were but year ago regarded as the
cynOSure of our naval productions cost

cessful demonstration of new form of
amored vessel, like the Monitor in 1862, OF
as the whaleback barge may well be in
this decade, would make them nearly
worthless.
On the other hand the serviceability of
the small gunboats is beyond question.
During our civil war they demonstrated
their usefulness; and it is pertinent fact
that where the navy is needed for the pro-
lection of American citizens, as in China,
the ability of the small vessels to ascend
the rivers makes them really more ef-

OUR TARIFF AS VIEWED ABROAD.

1t is impossible for those who see the
superior value of home market to under
stand why there should be any opposition
within this country to a protective tariff
upon articles which can be produced by
our own people. The politicians seeking
office-men whose interests are more con-
cerned in the emolumentS and honors of
official position than in substantial and
productive industry-Should run after an
igHjS fGtoaJS now and again, is not surpris-
ing; but that the actual producers of the
country, who include all but the Office
holders and ofice-seekers, will be misled
by the sophistry against protection is not
to be believed.
Anyone in doubt may read proftably the
communication which appeared in a
Manchester paper the day after Harrison's s
election three years ago, which The Dis
PATCH reproduces this morning, because
Of it's pertinency to the Ohio canvass. The
extract from Alexander Hamilton's report
TO Congress in 1889 showing how internal
competition ultimately does away with
monopoly, and reduces prices for the home
market to a minimum of a reasonable
profit on the capital employed" is as true
today as it was when written. Its actual
application has been shown in the reduc-
tion of price of steel rails, plate glass,
and other protective commodities. 1t is
as THE DISPATCH pointed out last week
The correct answer to the complaint of
Mills, Carlisle and Campbell, when they
urge that the tariff iHures only to the ben
eft of the manufacturers and that it is
reponsible for the long list of multi
milliOnaires.
One gratifying result of the Ohio can
vass will surely be a general grasp of the
merits of protection by all classes of our
people. When this is demonstrated, the
Democracy will quickly enough drop the
anti-tariff hobby which was most indis-
creetly thrust upon that party by Mr..
Cleveland at the suggestion of such poet
and doctrinaire statesmen as Watterson,
Carlisle and Mills.

Mr.. ROBERT WATCHoRN, who has been
going over the industrial system of Great
Britain, makes curious complaint about
the laws of that country providing for the
safety of operatives. He thinks that safety
is unnecessarily provided for by law, the
rigid enforcement of the requirement of
safety lamps in mines being in his opinion
supererogatory. Inview of the Hill Farm and
Mammoth mine disasters, it is sufficient to
remark that while q miner may perhaps
have the right to blow himself up in order to
avoid the bother of safety lamp, he has not
the right to blow up scores of his fellows
The English laws enforce the precaution

which the pertinent fact that ten of them

the~number of these vessels, encouraging
the developement of new ideas in naval

their tonnage is about the average OF

that large portion of them could be built
so as to pass through the Ohio river and

such vessels in commission, and with the
canal built and the rivers improved, the

of war with Great Britain; send squadron
of them to the lakes and maintain both
naval and commercial supremacy on those

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

Editorial Comment Upon the Causes Given
for the Extra Session-It Is Now the
Turn of the Senate to Do Its Duty in
the Matter.
Philadelphia Public Ledger. Repl
The message which Governor Pattison
yesterday sent to the State Senate, convened
in extraordinary session, is remarkable,
most ofall, for the grave matters which are
the subject of it, remarkable for the cfrcum-
stances which demanded it, and remarkable
for the clearness, directness and forcible-
ness with which it presents the evidence
Wh1cn mas been with such careful, sagac1ous
Judgment and judicial skill gathered and
compressed into an indictment as notable
for It's comprehensiveness as for its over
whelm1ng array of inculpating facts. cir
cumstances and documents. 1t should have
been, under our laws, impossible for the
Chief Magistrate of the State to frame such
an Indictment: the circumstances de-
mand1ng it should have been similarly
impossible of realization, and it should
have been impossible for the Governor,
or for any one, to arraign with such
conciseness and directness any public SER
wants who were elected to high position of
trust and responsibility by the deliberately
exercised will of the people. But the in
dictment has been-had to be-framed, as
the circumstances fully warranted it, and
the arraignment of the Auditor General and
State Treasurer had to be made, in view of
the mass of testimony produced
which rendered the making of it an impera-
tive duty. There is little in the matter of
Governor Pattison's message which is abso-
lutely new; it is the masterful, honest, fear
less manner OF the reformulation. the group
ing, the placing in natural sequence, the
binding together as whole of old matters,
unfortunately familiar enough to the public
through the published proceedings of in
vestigating bodies, which make 1t of such
great and common interest, and which give
1T character, dignity and impressiveness.
Through every paragraph of it there shines
clearly as truth itself the light of a high
official duty done, of public spirited purpose
fulfilled.
