The Trees are Dying.

The effects of the great Easter
freeze are now showing in the forest.
Many Of the trees then were al
most green with leaves and after the
freeze they looked like torch had
been stuck to the branches. Many OF
them put out" again and looked like
they would grow; but since the hot
dry weather set in they are dying
The woods are now dotted with the
dead leaves on giant oaks and tall
hiclkories 1t is feared that the
worms will get in the timber and de-
stroy a large part of it. The insects
will get in the dead timber and if they
go from it to the green they will do
great damage.

Steamers in the Branch of the Ameri-

About 325 of the stemmers employed
at the stemmery of the Richmond
branch of the American Tobacco
Company here, struck Saturday morn
ing because the company decided to
pay them by the weight of the stems
instead of by the weight of strips
taken from stems. The strikers, who
are all negroes, claim that the effect
of the change will be to reduce their
wages, but the company deny this.
The latter say that their object is
not to cut down wages, but to prevent
the nesting of stems in the weighing
boxes and secure the loose tobacco
that sticks to the short pieces Of stem.
They offered to let the strikers try
the experiment for week, and If they
were not satisfied to go back to the
old system, but the offer was refused.

carry out its contract with Newark. The
company sold that city something It did
not own. When it had done so, it found
that the owners of that thing wanted
a very large price for it. To escape pay
ing that price, they had this law passed
so that Newark was enabled to seize on
the authority of the State the thing that
the company had pretended to sell it, the
company just paying the incidental exT
penses. This was a beautiful arrange-
ment.
BY inserting the word heretofore, in
the law-"where any such board has
heretofore carefully contracted etc.
the company made the power available
only by the City of Newark. hat being
the. only city which then had a water
contract on hand. This exclusiveness
was designed. The company wanted to
gobble Jersey CITY some day, but was
not ready just then. If the law We're
made generally applicable, some other
company might come in and make a
deai with Jersey City to take advantage
of it.
This is just what the present promo
tiers of the law wanted to do. They raise
a specious cry about Jersey City being
benefits of the statute. 1t is a dis
elimination, they say.
So it is. 1t discriminates against Jer-
sey City in that If prevents contractors
from selling it what they do not own.
The affirmative proposition behind the
bill is just this:--If it is passed, any
contractor can sell it a Water system,
without owning one foot of land or one
gallon of water. but the city will be in
land and the water for herself. 1t may
be possible to conceive a more monstrous
act of legislation than this, but certain
" it passes our imagination.
The bill confers upon the city no direct
or unconditional power. If it's own ersi-
neers should draft a plan of water sup
ply and it should raise the money TO
carry out the plan itself, this bill would
afford it no power, no privilege, no aid,
no advantage of any kind.
This is the whole story of Judge
voorhis' water bill, without favor or
prejudice.

STURGEON WAR LIKELY.
Dclawaress Legislature May Shut Out
New Jersey Fishermen

I}'tf wi " tfr ''ff' Sfb 's'NS
PENNSVTELE, Dec. 20, ts9f.-A stur-
eeon war is imminent between the fish
ermcn on this side of the Delaware River
and those on the other side. The trouble
has arisen out of the determination of
the authorities in the State of Delaware
to discriminate against the Jersey fish
ermen by excluding the latter from fish
ing on the Delaware side Of the river.
it is said that a bill win be introduced
in the Delaware Legislature this winter
with this end in view. The Jersey fish
ermen have stated that in the event
of such a measure being taken, they
will retaliate in like measure and that
they will test the law to it's full extent.
The New Jersey Sturgeon Fishermen's
Association, which is conducting the
fight, has employed counsel to help test
the law, if passed. The question is an
important one, as there are now about
5000 persons who are engaged in the
sturgeon fishing industry annually. 1T IS
claimed by the Jersey fishermen that
Delaware eannot pass such a bill. as 1t
is directly in opposition to the Consti-
tuition of the United States, which states
that one State cannot discriminate
against the residents of another State in
the matter of Interstate commerce.
