LEGAL TENDER COIN.

The act of 1878 destroyed the lt-

Bland act in 1878 restored the legal

the silver dollar the unit of value.
No one can doubt thu right Of any
citizen under the constitution to
make a contract to pay an obliga-

could to pay it in Il given amount
of wheat or corn. The constitution
prohibits any law that shall abro-
gate the right of contracts. Simply

SUCCESSFUL SPRAYING.
Take Time Enough to DO the Work
Thoroughly and Regularly.

Thoroughly and Regularly.
Fungous diseases ofseveral kinds
have spread all over the country,
and, unless checked, destroy the
fruits of apple, peach, pear, plum
and cherry trees and of vines and
berry bushes. These diseases can
be.checked, and their effects de-
stroyed, by thorough spraying.
This has been proved beyond
doubt, and the only question now
is how to do the work in the most
thorough manner. l believe we
have not been in the habit of be-
ginning soon enough in this matter.
No doubt the scah, blight and other
forms of fungous disease begin to
develop very early in the season,
and are at work long 5efore they
make any visible signs. 1t is my
opinion, and my experience last

h Democratic Senators were nearly
unanimous yesterday in their caucus ac-
ton looking to the advancement Of the
compromise shape. Inc single exception
was found in Senator Hill. whose soil
tary may was recorded against the
resolution to introduce amendments only
through the Finance Committee.
Senator Murphy was absent from the
caucas. Whether his absence was in
ducnd by Mr.. Croker Is not known. But
It Is certain that ne was out driving
with the Tammany boss while this most
important meeting of the Democratic
Senators was being held.
Thus the great Empire State was throt-
tied at Washington when the question OF
the relief OF the business of the nation
from Its paralysis and the rescue Of labor
from its suffering was under discussion.
This betrayal OF the State by It's rep
resentatives In the United States
Senate. this treason to the De-
mocracy, was made the more
marked by the fact that at the same
moment the voices Of the most promi-
nent Democrats in New York were
raised at a great meeting In his city
demanding prompt and favorable action
by the Senate on tariff reform.
