The Forepaugh Show.

Arrangements have been completed for
the exhibition of the old Adam Forepaugh
Shows in Portland on Tuesday, July 81.
This is about three OF four weeks later than
their usual date in Portland. They were
here the last time on July 4. 1892. Last
year they were in Chicago and the West,
and did not show anywhere in the East ex-
cepting in the cities of Philadelphia, Balti-
more, Washington and Pittsburg. Young
Adam Forepaugh had trained horse show
a few weeks in the East, but it had no
connection whatever with the great shows
that made the name of Adam Forepaugh
famous, 1t is understood that he is this
year trying to keep his little show alive
somewhere out West.
1t is no longer a secret that the Adam
Forepaugh shows are owned by Mr.. James
A. Bailey. owner of the Barnum & Bailey
shows. He bought them from he estate of
the late Adam Forepaugh only few days after
the death of the great Snowman. Since he
has owned them they have been quite con-
spicuous for their character and complete
ness as they have beeen for their magni-
tude. Mr.. Bailey's fame and fortune have
been made by advertising only what he
actu1ly exhibits, and that fact of ITSELF
so contrary to the usual character of cir
Gus advertisements, has made him the for
tunate possessor of the two greatest shows
in the world, for it is a well known fact
that none of the foreign countries have
show that in any way compares favor
ably with either the Barnum or Forepaugh
shows. In these times of worry and indus
trial trouble a day of diversion will be well
coined by everybody, and Portland has al
ways found the Adam Forepaugh shows to
be depended upon for that

also the thornapple and the shad bush,
which, from the woodlands edge, fling
out their white. hammered welcome to
spring and SUNNI r. The witcd haze,
too, is a shrub, towering in bleak
November, when every other member
of the vegetable kingdom has fulfilled
its functions and prepared for winter,
whose yellow petals, crooked and
twisted, will impart weird interest to
the expiring days Of foliage and flower
ing. And the list might be indefinitely
heightened and every selection add to
the adornment of grounds and the in
struction of the pupil of arboriculture.
That a tree or shrub may live and
thrive should be the aim of the planter.
So care must be taken in uprooting and
replanting. The best substitute for
nursery-reared stock is found in the
seedlings which have survived the dan
gers of chance sowing and grown to a
lusty childhood along the fence rows
and by the roadsides. Trees from three
to five years old are more likely to live
after transplanting than older ones, as
they can be removed from the earth
with less injury to the roots, which
should be carefully protected from the
sun and from cold drying winds. Allow
the native soil to cling to the roots, and
as soon as removed from the ground pro-
tect them with wet sacking or with
moistened moss or straw. Dipping the
roots in a thin mud of rich soil before
the tree is set out is also recommended.
The holes for the trees should be care
fully made, the richer surface soil
thrown out by itself and carefully
packed about the roots laid in a natural
position. Through the finer fiibrous
roots the young tree will receive its
nourishment, and the mellow and richer
soil should be carefully packed around
these by hand. Water should be freely
applied at the setting and throughout
the season. Want of sensible care in
uprooting, in replanting, and in nursing
during the first summer make the diff
ference between life and death to the
transplanted subject; and the person
who uproots fine young tree and
transfers it to new and unfavorable
conditions is bound by every considera-
ton of duty to stand by his ward till
it has survived the dangers of the
change and can again take care of itself.
Unless Arbor Day, in the matter of tree
planting, can be observed intelligently
and humanely, it had better be not OBJ
served at all.

Mr.. Gallinger of New Hampshire addressed
the senate at length in opposition to the
pending tariff measure. 60 The house
elections committee decided the contested
election case Of Thrasher against Enloe
from the eighth Tennessee district in favor
OF the latter, the sitting member The sem
ate bill to rectfy the Boring Sea act was
also passed.
SATURDAY.-In the senate, the workmen's
delegates in the galleries had the pleasure
of hearing Senator Quay read their petitions
and memorials and plead the cause of pro-
lection. The tariff bill was again taken up,
and Senator Dolph of Oregon continued his
speech in opposition to it. 60 Nothing of
public interest was done in the house.
MoNDAY.-In the senate, Mr.. Aldrich of
Rhode Island presented the memorial of
delegation OF working women against the
Wilson tariff bill. He said many of these
women, who are engaged in textile manu-
features, had visited the capitol for the pur-
pose OF presenting a respectful protest
against that bill, and had asked an opportu-
nifty of submitting their views to the finance
committee. He believed that those women
fairly represented the opinions of more than
two millions of the wage-earning women of
the United States. The majority of the
finance committee had declined to give
them hearing, and then they had asked
the minority of the COMMITTEES to- do So
The minority had heard them, and the
hearing was very important and interest
ing one. Mr. PETER, the Kansas populist
again made an effort to get before the sem
ate his resolution for a select committee to
give hearing TO the CoXey army, but was
not successful Mr.. Washburn of Mime
sofa then addressed the senate in OPPOSE
ton to the tariff bill. - The time of the
house was taken up in considering measures
relating to the District of Columbia.

The Tramp Breeders of the Capitol.

The mobs of tramps, bnmmers, beg
CARS, and deluded men now converging
upon Washington, Selling trains, and
living, like invading armies, upon the
fears of the country through which they
pass, are dsgracing the reputation Of
the American people for good order,
industry, and common sense. The re-
sponsibility for them rests very largely,
we are ashamed to say, upon the dem
ocrats in congress and the titular dem
ocratic administration. There are fools
and cranks and knaves of the avowedly
populist party who have encouraged
these performances. But the respon-
sibility for these present disgusting
bebauches of vagrancy rests not with
the licorice-tongued semi-socialists and
the wheel-brained populists, but with
the democratic president and the dem
ocratic congress. The populist party
has either died or been merged into the
democracy. For months the supposed
representatives of the democracy have
been intoxicating the duty of fning the
rich for the benefit of the poor, and
making it lawful for one class to prey
upon another. The tramps and bum
mers have heard the lesson eagerly and
they are striving to apply it. No Won
der that they are rushing on to Wash

managed, with conspicuous ability, in
terests far more difficult and complex
than, in these times of peace, enter into
the administration of the affairs of YER

ing will qualify and equip him for the
successful administration of the duties
of the office to which he seems destined
to be chosen.
The status of the canvass for the Office
of lieutenant governor, for which
there will be sharp contest, is sub
stantially the same as last reported in

present time can be fairly said to have
decisive or promising lead. Who

ter of the lieutenant governorship and

kins will fabricate the convention and
the spectators will settle down to the
enjoyment of the oratory the state
committee promises to provide.

ArbOr Day Proclamation.

In accordance with a custom becoming
universal among our sisterhood of states,
do hereby designate Wednesday, the 9th
day of May, in the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and ninety-four, as
Arbor Day.
Our people, and especially the teachers
and scholars of our public schools, are
urged to SO observe the day that its results
may be felt with each succeeding year. The
formation of village Improvement societies,
in the smaller as well as the large commu-
mites, will do very much toward making
our state yet more pleasant, attractive and
healthful. Nothing is more prejudicial TO
the material interests of the state than the
destruction of our forests, while nothing is
more conducive to the beauty of the land
scape, the charm of the home, or to the fu-
ture value of the soil, than the iudicious
planting of trees and shrubbery. The Gull
tvation of forests-extensive, far-sighted
arboriculture-has become in many states
a settled policy that our citizens would do
well to emulate. Bare slopes and hill-tops,
parched and dry in the hot summer sun,
would thus, in time, be again covered with
the growing vegetation, which would shelter
and sustain the lessening rills that feed our
failing streams; while the wanton fire and
careless axe should be guarded against, the
care and protection of the flower, plant and
tree encouraged, that, in our waving pines,
the insignia and traditions with which our
state has come down to us may be perpet-
uated to later generations.
Given under my hand and the seal of the
state, at Brattleboro, this seventeenth
day of April, in the year of our Lord
one thousand eight hundred and ninety
four, and of the independence of the
United States the one hundred and
eighteenth.
