pen.,en Appropriations.

Tho unchecked growth of pension appropriations cannot much longer be tolerated unless thes people are pre- pared to mortgage the country which was saved to the pensioners. Just after the close of the war in 1866 the pension appropriations amounted to $l5. 600, 900. In 1876. ten years later
 they anounted to $28 GOO, 900; in 1886 they had risen to 63. 900, 900; in 1888 they had mounted again to 4s0. 00O.- 900; and three years from that time the department estimates require dou- ble that enormous amount The amount we are asked to spend on pen- sions is to be more next year. accord ing to Secretary Noble's report than the entire cost of government for any two years before the war. The appro- priation asked for is nearly half the expense of maintaining in the field during the trying year of 1862 all the Union armies. And according to the report furthermore. the facts contra dict the hopes expressed by the Sec retary. There are already over 6U0. 900 pensioners and 800, 900 others are waiting to have their claims passed upon, while 400, 900 of those who already draw pensions are seek ing increases. The patent truth is that as now administered. the pension system is the opportunity for claim agents to debase patriotism by calling upon every man who served in the war, if only for few days. to make demand on the treasury for a gratuity.
 The secretary's estimate ought not to surprise the American people, Presi- dent Cleveland's course toward pen- sions. one of the most courageous and patriotic steps in his administration.
 was made the object of successful partisan attack by public plunderers at Washington. and they have availed themselves of the chance their victory gave them. The claim agents under Harrison's administration. have .in- creased from $50 900. coo to $I60 GOO. 900 the annual appropriation for pen sions. and Corporal Tanner has been splendidly vindica' ed.

This has been a contest between men. not between principles The friends of Hon. Roger c.

To Destroy Tree Borers.

How to keep borers rabbits. sheen and mice from killing trees with q wash made as follows: Fresh lime slacked with soft water (old soap studs is best). make the wash the thickness as to wash house or fencing. Where one peck of lime is used. while hot add one-half gallon crudo carbolic acid. costing 90 cents. one-half gallon gas tar. costing 10 cents and four pounds of sulphur. Stir we'll
 For summer wash leave gas-tar out and add in place of it one gallon of soft soap Wash the last of May or June.
 If the miller has laid the egg which produces the borer this wash is death to the egg. and millers, moths and beetles will not deposit their eggs in tree thus washed. The wash described will prevent both apple and peach tree borers.s Wash the trunk and limbs as far as the rough bark goes. A man or boy can wash 200 to 500 trees day with 30-cent fiat paint brush.
 To keep rabbits and sheep from girdling wash late in fall or about the time of frost as high as they can reach. would not neglect my trees for fifty times its cost
 A weak lye is a very useful and per fec:ly safe tree wash. Also old soap suds that stands few days after clothes are washed will keep the bark smooth and the borers of if trees ara washed two or three times in summer season. If one pint of crude carbolic acid is added to fifteen gallons of old soap studs or lye. 1t will keep insects of for months.
 Many other washes will keep insects from killing trees. but some are in- furious to ti ces instead of beneficial

CENT POSTAGE.

Meet This Party BiIi With the Free De-
 livery aIsriy Demanded.
 When the Republicans built their national platform in 1888 they said: We demand the reduction of letter postage to cent per ounce" And they gave this demand all the em- phasis of a separate plank and para graph It is Certainly very explicit and unequivocal demand and when the Republicans came into possession of the legislative and executive de- partments. as they did on the fourth of March. 1889. the demand took on the character of pledge. The Re- publican Fifty-frst congress came and went and the pledge was not re- deemed But now that tte house is Democratic by a comfortable majority. and it is no longer in the power of the Republican party to do what It agreed to do without Democratic cooperation. Senator Cullom steps boldly to tho front with bill to reduce letter post age to cent
 Possibly the Republican senator from Illinois thinks it is because his party failed to do as 1t promised in this matter that the people gave it such an unmerciful clubbing last year. A more probable supposition is that he thinks that he can make little capi- tai for his party by introducing his l. cent postage bill just at this time He knows that the measure Is impractic- able at present because the treasury is not in condition to spare $l6. 900, oe0 or more of postal revenue. There fore he reasons that. the Republican senate can pass his bill with certain ty that the house will not concur He can then go before. the people and lift up his voice saying: We promised you 1-cent postage and we tried to give it to you. But those wicked Democrats over there at the other end of the capitol wouldn't let us. :"
 We'll the Democrats can afford to let the Republicans have all the capi- tai Mir Cullom can make for them in that way. says the Chicago Herald Every body knows that the late Re- publican billion dollar congress was so reckless in its appropriations and it's slashing of revenue taxes that this congress can not afford to take the risk of creating deficit of S16. 900. : 900 or more in the postal service. It will be quite safe therefore. for the house to take Mir. Cullom's bill if the senate shall pass it and drop it into the waste basket giving as sufficient reason the fact that the senate has no right under the constitution to origi- nate a revenue measure.
 There is a thing that the people want far moro than they want 1 cent postage and big deficit and that is free delivery in the country. They would undoubtedly prefer to pay lit tie higher rate of letter postage--say 2k cents an ounce or , cents for two stamps. if it is necessary in order to cover the cost of free delivery than to have free delivery denied and the rate reduced to 1 cent But the higher rate is not necessary. Experiment has pretty fully demons rated that free delivery will pay at the 2-cent rate through increase in the sale Of stamps. The Democratic house. therefore. can meet Mir. Cullom s party-capital bill which the people do not demand with free delivery bill which the people do demand.

 should give better attention to this matter.
