instance, his fares while travelling,
carriage hire, hotel bills, etc., in
distinction from those enumerated
in the other four classes of legal ex-
penditure which cover the more
general expenses of the election
and may be for the benefit of all the
candidates of the particular party.
The object of the law requiring the
statement, being the obtaining of
information by the Government as
to what has been expended by the
candidate, with view to prevent
ing improper expenditure, we may
not presume that. the Government
would seek to know from the cam
didate that the fee has been paid,
for it must have been paid to the
party seeking the information. 1t
is in the public treasury. This
statement is, by the statute, to be
"open to inspection by any one
without fee or reward and this
would aid the deterrent effect of
the statute. But the payment of
tax which the law requires would
neither interest the public, nor
have any effect in preventing the
improper use of money during cleo
ton campaign. We therefore hold
that the candidate is not obliged
under section 40 to make state
ment that he has deposited the
statutory fee with the request for
his candidature.
Is the defendant, on the evidence,
punishable for not furnishing a
sworn itemized statement of his
expenses? We think not. This is
a penal enactment and must be con-
strued strictly. GA penal law can
not be extended by construction.
The act constituting the offense
must be within both the letter and
the spirit of the statute" Lair VS..
Killmer, % n. j. L., 522. A fail
ure to make a return that no ex-
penses have been incurred is not
punishable by the statute, no provi-
sion having been made for such a
case. t" Unless the proper meaning
of the language of the statute brings
case with its letter, the rule of
strict construction forbids the court
to create crime or penalty by con-
struction, and requires it to avoid
the same by construction. End

Undoubtedly the defendant could
have avoided arrest and prosecution
if he had made a return to the
Minister that he had incurred no
expenses, and, not having done SO,
there was probable cause to believe
that the statute had been violated.
But proof that no expenses have
been incurred is complete defense
to the prosecution.

To THE EDITOR: Please state in
Rural Press the best known means
for killing blight and scale infesting
fruit trees, more especially oranges,
lemons and lines?
We have a species of grass nut,
imported here from the Coast, which
it is impossible to exterminate by or
binary lcethods. 1t is a great nui-
sance to us, as 1t will kill out any
other grass with which it comes in
contact. Can you suggest a means
for discriminating ite
Could sticks of buds of olive and
orange be successfully sent from the
Coast to Honolulu for purpose of
budding native stocks? IF 80, inform
me of persons who could supply
same. Yours truly,
JOHN EMMELUTH.
If our friend had read his Rural
little more carefully he would
have already had a scrap book full
of scale remedies. He is probably
aware that for the red scale, which
is now our worst foe on citrus
fruits, the gas remedy, which has
been fully described in our col
umns, is best. Probably, howe
our correspondent desires washes,
to use on small scale. The fol-
lowing formulas are prepared by
Mr.. Alex. Craw, with the prices of
the materials in this market:

We presume the ''grass nut" i'm
ported from this Coast is the
"chufa." 1t can be killed out in
dry soils in this State by blowing
up in the hottest, driest time of
the year. How to handle it with
Hawaiian conditions, we do not
know. Will someone tell?

can easily be sent to Hawaii, if
properly packed. Probably any

THE NATIONAL CONVENTION.

In the National Democratic Conyen-
tion each State is entitled TO twice as
many delegates as it has Senators and
Representatives in Congress. Accord
ingly State has twice as many votes In
the Presidential Convention as ii has
Electoral votes. The number OF dele
gates who will attend the National
Democratic Convention will be exactly
goo. There will be SIS from the States
and IL from the Territories. Under
the time-hOnOred two-thirds rule, the
votes Of 500 delegates will be required
10 nominate. The manner in which the
delegates are chosen, however, is not
uniform throughout the country. In a
number of States four jelegateS-at-iarge
are chosen by State Convention, while
the other delegates are elected by Con-
gressional district conventions. In
West Virginia each of the four Con-
gressional districts by its conven-
ton elects not only two district
delegates but also a delegate-at-large,
and no State Convention is held for the
purpose Of representation in the Nat
ional Convention. In New York the
entire delegation is appointed by State
Convention, though the district dele
gates are actually named by the men,
bers from the several Congressional dis
tricts.
In New York the State Convention
may adopt a unit rule for the delegation.
This rule declares that the entire vote
shall be cast as the majority shall di-
rect. In other words, when the delega-
ton consists of - members 81 may de-
termine not only how their own votes,
but also how the votes of the other 35
shall be cast. But in most OF the States
the unit rule is unknown. In some States
the custom prevails of instructing the
delegates, while in other States they are
usually left free to act as they see fit.
Recent presidents in the State Of New
York are not in favor of binding the del
egates by special instructions.
In Republican National Conventions
the same differences formerly existed,
but ia recent years the unit rule has
been abolished. and while delegates at
large are appointed by State Conven-
lions, district delegates are now chosen
BY district conventions in all the States.
Uniformity in the system Of representa-
tion in the National Conventions is GER
talnly desirable, and it is entirely prob
able that sooner or later a uniform sys-
TEN will be adopted by the National
party.

RALFuUR,s BIG BLUNDER.

BA1FoUR has introduced his Irish
local government bill, the provisions Of
which were published in yesterdays
REGISTER Simultaneously were pub
liShed a few expressions of the wide
spread indignation the Introduction of
the bill has caused.
The government is pursuing a bold
and ill-advised course. The Conserva-
tive forces are weakened and the meas
ure will meet with summary treatment
at the hands of the Liberals. The press
OF England and Ireland, so far as heard
from, is about unanimous in condemna-
tlon Of BALFoUR's policy.
But, strange to say, GLADSTONE re-
mains TO be heard from. He has yet to
give a decided expression of his opinion
of the measure. With the conscious
ness Of almost certain victory at the
general elections to sustain him, Mr..
GLADSTONE should not have adopted a
temporizing policy. Aggressiveness
means the expression of confidence
among the leaders in eventual success
and will do much to inspire the rank
and file Of the party. SALISBURY can
scarcely maintain throughout the year
this uncompromislng attitude toward
Irish legislation. He will, undoubtedly,
have cause to defect from the course
marked out at Exeter, in which he said:
The first step in concession will soon
lead 70 others, and eventually place pro-
tectionist, impecunious Ireland IN the
hands OF the priests, who, in all our quar-
rels with Spain, America and France, in
variablv fought against US. What could
the world think Of US if we displayed such
weaknessi If we fail in this hour of our
trial. the flowers Will be plucked one by
one from our diadem Of empires, and we
will slowly re0ede from the great position
handed down 70 US by our fathers. l APP
peal TO YOU TO make every effort to divert
such a GROWING calamity anG disgrace.
The reception BALFoUR's bill has
met shows that the government has
not taken into the calculation the fact
that the English people have some
common sense aud not altogether
obliterated sentiment in favor of justice
TO Ireland.
1t is now in order for the govern
ment to crawl from under.

Edirraont Iadsr.
The Parkersburg Sentinel is wrong
There is no disposition on the part OF
the Democrats OF this section to do away
with the valuable public services OF
Congressman Wilson. If he wants to go
back to Congress ne will meet with
little or no opposition from his party.
1t is no disrespect for Mr.. Wilson TO say
that he is the strongest man in West
Virginia to-day for Governor. No
man stands as high with the people
of all sections as ne, and there is a
general call for him to make the race.
What man can say that the people have
no right to make their own selection,
and Mr. Wilson would hardly decline
the nomination. But to say that the
present demand for his nomination for
Governor is the result OF wish to get
him out Of Congress is doing violence
to the facts. 1t rather springs from an
admiration for the man by the people,
and from their knowledge of his fitness
ard availability. 1t is early yet and no
one can predict what the result OF the
convention will be, but one thing ap.
pears to be absolutely certain, and that
is the people are going to make the NOM
nations this year.
