IMPEACHMENT.

New Nation.
Mr.. Cleveland has furnished two
distinct and adequate grounds of i'm
parchment, on account of breach of
his oath of Office to carry out the laws.
One count relates to his open and adj
mitted failure to buy four and a half
million ounces of silver month as
required by law. The otlier count
relates to his failure to take the first
step TO carry out the Geary Chinese
law, which should have been enforced
since Juiy l.
Mind well, these charges are not
based upon any assumption of the
righteousness of these laws. But they
are laws, and the President is sworn
to carry them out whether he likes
them OF not. and he has not done SO.
If this sort Of thing is going to be toll
Grated. we might as well discontinue
Congress for good and all, 'and send
to Russia for a car.
We venture predictions: IF Presi-
dent Cleveland does not change his
course he will be impeached before he
gets through his term of office, and
the House of Representatives elected
in 1894 will do it.

A writer in the Vermont Chronicle
protects his fruit trees from mice with
strips of lath or cid barrel slaves tied
around the stem. They cost little and
last several years. Early in spring he
passes around among the trees and cuts
the cord used in tying and often finds
many insects, which are quickly de-
stroyed by rubbing two pieces together.
This contriyauce thus answers Il double
purpose-excludes tho mice in winter
and becomes a trap for insects after
ward. The lower ends Of the llths are
pushed slightly into the ground, and The
tying near the top makes them secure.
Two smart boys have applied the strips
to from 500 TO 400 trees in day. In re-
gions where mice are abundant it is well
worth while to protect Young orchard
trees this way before the advent OF win
ter, or else with the c1nical mounds Of
smooth, compact earth u foot high,
which the mice will not ascend under
snow.

Vol. XIII.
WATTERsoN's Wall.
There's a People TO Condemn, God
to Punish.

Editor Henry Watterson, of the
CoHtfe,' Formal, in a two-column lead
er, reads the riot act to those South
ern Senators who have obstructed the
silver repeal, and predicts disaster for
the Democratic Party.
He says: "The spectacle of the ex-
ira session. and more particularly the
scenes of the last few days and nights,
are enough to call the dead to life in
the defense of the beleagured interests
and the departing glory of the South;
clique of Southern Senators serving
a combine of silver mine owners, us
ing their experience and such wits as
are left them, to obstruct the will of
the people as it was never DISTRACTED
before, precisely as il their own dear
lives, or their own dear dollars were
at stake"
Again he says:
perhaps the inmolation of Grover
Cleveland may be retribution upon the
Democratic Party for nominating and
electing him President perhaps it may
destroy the party outright; perhaps it
is even the will of God for evil to come
to pass that good may follow; but the
guilty ones will not escape. That is
one comfort amid the desolation that
has developed Democratic opportuni-
ties, and the irretrievable disgrace
which has fallen on the Democratic
party in having approvingly submit
ted to the wise rebulle ola Republican
statesman and that statesman, John
Sherman"
OF the platform pledges upon which
the Democracy came into power, and
the stubborn, betraying fight within
the ranks now urged against them,
Mr.. Watterson observes
1--WE see the official head of the
Democratic perty ruthlessly insulted
without a word of reply or defense
from Senators, who, holding Demo
cratic commissions, are quick to rush
to the aid of the mine owners in mean
ly insulting their Democratic col
leagues. We see the organization and
discipline Of the Democratic party
blown to atoms, not by intellectual
dynamite, or the combustion of great
ideas, but by most questionable train
of deprecated dollars laid in the dark
ness, and it is much to be feared i'll the
corruption of few silver mines. That
is what we see.
And in conclusion:
"When tariff reform is beaten, when
| the resembling Of the Federal election
laws is beaten, when Democratic vic
tory is converted into Democratic OBJ
loquy and defeat, and when the bust
ness interests of the country, detached
from healthy intercourse with the
commercial world, are relegated to a
plague stricken comradeship with
those nations-to wit, Mexico and
Central and South America-whose
monetary, like their political condi-
tons, are in a state of chronic distem-
per, then will these Southern and So
called Democratic Senators, learn in
sober earnest that there is people 10
condemn, and a God to punish, alike
the faithless and the incapable"

In a sequestered room in the Capt.
toll, away from public haunts, there
gathers every day handful of South
ern statesman who have taken upon
themselves the task of revising the
tariff The interests they are dealing
with, according to olIicia estimates,
are about as follows:
Capital invest 500l 0J1 009
Annual value Of prOducls.......... y,DJi, 0Oj oOt
Number of persons employed. O0jU,0gl
Estimating the number directly en-
ployed in manufacturing and mining
at 700, 600, we have, directly and in
directly dependent upon their wages,
certainly 1000, GOO, possibly 10000, e.
900, of men, women, and children
When the magnitude of our manuiac-
turing industries is fully realized we
can better understand how a threaten
ed change i'll the policy which brought
many branches into existence and un-
der which all have nourished should
occasion such widespread ruin. Prob
ably 90 per cent of these great inter
ests are located in the large cities and
towns of the country, and it is these
centers of industrial activity that will
suffer most severely from the contem-
plated changes.
Who are the leading spirits engaged
in this work of destruction Where do
they come from2 What has been their
particular training and experience
qualifying them for the delicate task
they have undertaken? To begin with
they are provincial statesmen Of the
Southern courthouse type They come
from Villages and small towns, where
the principal industries are petty law
squabbles and post-ollice politics, and
where primitive grist mills and the vii
lage smithies are the only object les
sons in the way of manufactures. And
this is the school in which these tariff
reforners have received their training
A majority of the eleven Democrats
on this committee and those taking
most active interest in the prepare
ton of the bill come from small towns
and crossroad places in the South. For
instance, the tariff views of the chair
man of the committee, Hon. William
l.. Wilson, are imbibed from a place
called Charlestown, w Va, popula-

BEES M WINTER.
The Principal Causes Of Heavy Losse
How 60 Prevent Them.

The Principal Causes Of Heavy Losses.
How 60 Prevent Them.
Agoodly numbero Of apiarists expressed
themselves concerning the cause and
prevention Of winter losses Of bees in the
columns Of The American Bee journal
recently. Professor A, J. Cook laid the
losses to poor food and severe cold and
suggested as preventive good food
and a good cellar or thorough packing
NJ. Maxim believes that tho principal
sluse is dampness and want of ventila-
ton. He says, "Since I have given my
bees plenty of ventilation at the bottom
of the hive lose scarcely any bees"
G. w. Demaree wrote: Long, cold
winters are the causes of loss. When
the winter is open and moderate, never
lose any colonies, but when long, hard
winters overtake the bees some colonies
perish" His remedy consists in protect
ing the bees every season as though ev-
cry winter was severely cold.
Mrs. L. Harrison said: sThe cause of
SO many bees dying last winter was the
severe and long continued cold weather.
In cleaning out hives where bees have
died foul air appears to be one factor.
The weather was SO severe that bees
could not clean house, and the dead ac-
cumulated, closing up the entrance.
We hear of bees coming through in good
condition in old hives split from top 10
bottom. | cleaned out hive that hal
contained a very large colony and was
well supplied with honey, The hivewas
close, well painted one, with new mus
lin, and the cap filed with dry maple
leaves. The entrance was so clo.gel
with dead bees robbers could not enter
J. L. Pond writes: lit is difficult to
say generally what the principal reasons
for heavy winter losses are. So many
factors enter into the problem that each
case is an in9 Yidual reason for winter
losses in my own loeaiity-Massachu-
sets. / can suggest nothing that has
not been made public in textbooks and
bee Journals for years Study themear
fully, and you viii get about all tie light
there is on the subject"
Mr. Dadant saidthat the causes Of loss
are long confinement and unsealed honey.
He advised keeping the bees in well
sheltered place where they can have a
flight at every chance. He believes that
the colonies that winter best are those
that have fight when it seems sure
death for bees to venture out.
An apiarist writing from Canada said
"0ur losses in Canada during the past
winter were light. a light honey flow,
or honey flow which breaks oil early,
| believe, usually precedes heavy winter
losses. l have great faith in the state
ment that bees viii winter with reason

stores, have good queen and are kept
in proper condition during winter. The
rules of health and life are as fixed with
the bee as any other animal"
