Rau,n Vent Resirn

Gen. Raum, the Commissioner of Pen
sions, has returned to Washington from
his visit to Chicago. An Associated Press
reporter called his attention to the state
ments that he contemplated resigning his
Office. In reply the Commissioner said
have not said it was my intention to
resign, but I have said that | could not
undertake to administer so important a
trust as the officer of Commissioner of
Pensions without the confidence and sup
port of the President and Secretary of
the Interior, and ! now say that | have
too much personal regard for the Prcs;-
dent and too great desire for The sue
cess Of his Administration to give him
embarrassment. | had an Interview with
Assistant Secretary Chandler. WHO is now
acting Secretary of the interior. and also
with Assistant Secretary Busscy. They
both expressed to me their entire salts
faction with my administration and their
entire confidence in me personally"
The Commissioner then, said he wished
the public to understand that there is Il
coterie of men in Washington, a few Of
whom arc in the Pension Office, who have
formed conspiracy TO break down his
character as public officer and as pri-
vate citizen, and to bring tie Pension
Office into public disrcputc. He added ::
Z" | am not to be driven FROM the PEN
sion Office by these men. have devoted
my best thought and energy to its organ
ization, and the bureau is at the present
time one of the most efficient working
organizations Of the Government While
there are few persons who should be
removed for disloyalty and ineiiiciency,
the great body of the Office is composed OF
intelligent, Industrious men and women
who arc performing their duties with idel-
ity and zeal eand without partially or
tavoritism to any one. We are now dis
posing of more than 30, 900 cases month,
and / expect to see this number consd

"Then, Mr.. Commissioner, YOU do not

ded that his relations with Secretary

AN IMPORTANT MEETING.
Irotcct;onlsts Irrespective of Party to
Hold a Convention at Asheville.
iKEoXville Journal


An important meeting has been called,
TO be held at Asheville on the 22nd day of
June. The object Of the meeting is to
.rganize Il protective tariff league for the
State of North Carolina. All persons
WHO believe in the doctrine of protec-
tive tariff, irrespective of former party
affiliations, are invited to attend and par
iicipate. Hon Vim. Mckinley, of Ohio,
has heen invited, and it is thought will be
present and address the meeting.
The time is not very distant in the tu-
ture, when there will be such an organi-
zation in every one of the border South
ern States. The people of these States
arc like all other people, they favor that
which promotes their material welfare.
1t is very easy to be seen that no people
in this country are more directly concern
cd in the maintenance of the protective
policy than are the people Of the Central
Southern States. Their future prosperity
depends upon tho development OF the md
den wealth that lies concealed in their ma
tive hills ard mountains and rallies. 1hey
have seen Pennsylvania, with no greater
natural advantages, become one OF the
very richest States in the Union by this
policy. They have seen the New England
States, less adyantageously situated, grow
immensely wealthy by virtue of their
manufactures. The Central Southern
States do not want to see this henehcent
policy abandoned, just when they are
about ready to take advantage OF ii.
The people of North Carolina, with
their immense deposits Of iron, are inter
ested in maintaining protective tariit
and those Of Tennessee, Alabama, VIZ
ginia, kentucky and West Virginia are
still more interested. The meeting at
Ashevilie should be largely attended, and
the example Of North Carolina emulated
by III. other States mentioned, ana ny
all the Southern States:

That substances extracted from the
soil vary in kind and quantity with the
different crops has been the leading
fact used in support of the idea of rota-
ton. If potatoes draw largely upon
the potash, it is therefore wise to fol-
low them with a plant that uses less
potash and more of something else.
While this is strong argument for the
system now generally adopted, another
is fully as forceful. If wheat, oats,
corn, potatoes or any other field crop is
followed by its own kind for series of
years there is certain to be an accu-
mutation of the enemies of that crop.
If the wheat has an insect pest in small
numbers one year, the soil may retain
stock of the enemy ready to begin an
early and more vigorous attack the
next season. The potato beetle of the
late brood holds his place, and rejoices
if potatoes are planted there again
and so on. The truth of the heaping
up of the fungous enemies by continu-
GUS culture of crop is even more
evident. The spores of the smut, rust,
mildew or mold fall to the ground 'and
hibernate ready for greater multiplica'
ton the next year. Onions after onions
breed smut, it is said. The same is true
of corn smut Therefore, there are
many sides to the question, and when
possible rotate the crop.-Dr. Byron d.
Halstead. in Now York Tribune.

A mans occupation has great deal
TO do with making his facial expression.
Studies or scholarly professions, intel
lectual pursuits, when coupled with
moral habits, brighten the face and give
a superior look. An unselfish nature,
or love of study or arts, will make n
bright, pleasant face; but, on the con-
trary, a man may have face that does
not please any one, because of pure
selfishness. 1t may be noticed that sol
diers get hard, severe look; laborers
look tired; reporters look inquisitive;
mathematicians look studious; judges
look grave, and man whose home life
is unhappy looks all broken up. The
business often makes the face. How
often we think this man is a butcher,
this one lawyer, that one minister,
the other doctor. and so on. II is
seldom we are mistaken, for the calling
shows through the faces. And who fails
to recognize the genuine farmer the
minute one sets ewes on HMM, y.

APPLE SCAB.
A Word to Orchardlsts In Regard To Its
Cheap and Easy Prevention.


A Word to orchardlsts In Regard To Its
Cheap and Easy Prevention.
Apple scab can now be prevented so
easily and cheaply that there is no long
er any excuse for the injury it occa-
sions. We first successfully treated this
disease three years ago, and since that
time our methods of work have been
considerably improved, Briefly the
treatment we would now recommends
as follows:
When the fruit is about the size of q
pea, spray the trees thoroughly with a
solution made by dissolving five ounces
of carbonate of copper in one and one
half pints of aqua ammonia having q
strength of 90 deg. The copper may
be dissolved in an ordinary water pail.
When completely dissolved pour the
liquid into barrel, and then fill the
latter with water. A barrel of the solu-
ton made in this way will cost about
thirty-five cents, and it will be suff-
cient TO treat fifteen large trees once
Make second spraying twelve or fif-
teen days after the first, and the third
two weeks later. If an ordinary sea-
son, three sprayings will be sufficient,
but if rainy it will be necessary to make
one or two more. In applying the solu-
ton it is of the highest Importance that
the leaves and fruit be thoroughly COW
cred and this is only made possible by
using good strong force pump, pro-
vided with a suitable spraying nozzle.
Such a machine need not cost over
twelve or fifteen dollars, and where one
has a larger orchard this amount will
be easily saved in a short time.
The carbonate of copper is sold at
retail for forty to seventy-five cents a
pound. 1t can be made at home, how
ever, much cheaper; the usual method
of preparing it being as fellows:
Dissolve three pounds of sulphate OF
copper or blue stone in five or six gal.
Ions of hot water. In another vessel
dissolve three and one-half pounds of
sal soda in six gallons of hot water
When cool pour the soda solution into
the copper liquid stirring constantly
the while. Allow the solution to stand
twenty-four hours, then siphon or pour
off the clear liquid, taking care not to
disturb the sediment any more than is
necessary. After the clear liquid has
been removed, add water and stir mp
the sediment. Let the liquid stand an
other day then draw off the clear liquid
| opain Tho sediment which iS carbon
ate of copper, may then be dried and
used as already described. -Rural
