Some kinds of fruit trees have such
delicate bark that their trunks and in
some cases their branches have their
bark scaled and cracked by exposure
to the sun. The twenty-ounce apple
is especially liable to this injury. It is
a very valuable and productive variety
and this is its only fault. Henry Rey-
nOlds Of North Carolina says that the
application of tar to bark that is
scalded and cracked enables it to heal
perfectly. He finds it very valuable to
cure injuries made by the peach tree
borer, taking care to first kill the
borer. The application of the tar to
the trunk of peach trees near the
ground he finds to be the cheapest and
easiest way to prevent the deposit Of
the peach borers' eggs.

The present attitude of the goldbugs

called sound money doctrines reminds
us of the story Of the mean man who

that the forward part was his brothers.

The PhillipsbuFg Dispatch takes the
trouble to give us a word lashing be-
cause of the publication of the story
told by Governor Morrill, to Andy Felt
about the young lady who was insulted
by Atherton. 1t seems strange that
Morrill,, after setting the story afoat,
should wait several months, and after
the story had been in print for several
days, before explaining that it was
without foundation. It looks as though
the governor has allowed party pride
to get the better of his manhood, and
is sacrificing truth in defense of the
state treasurer.

Wennnnn Indians Fear

"Indians sometimes face light fire.
arms with great courage, but they fight
shy Of the attentions of any weapon
that sends a large projectile,n said Col
Onel F. A. Blake, who has had vide ex-
| perience on the western plains. "The
rush and scream of the heavy bullets
frightens them, and they prefer to
keep away from their range. To that
| not unreasonable prejudice is due the
fact that the buffalo hunters Of the
early '70s, who in following their bust
ness were constantly exposed to the at
tacks of hostile Indians, we're molested
comparatively little by them. The
long, heavy rifle, with its telescope
sights and the knowledge Of the deadly
certainty of the buffalo hunters aim,
almost invariably served to make the
red man keep his distance, and set him
temporarily free from the notion Of
scalp hunting.
"One buffalo hunter by the mans of
Murdoch, that / knew, was creeping
upon a herd on the Staked Plain when
he spied band Of Comancbes riding
toward him. He instantly leveied his
gun upon them as a warning that they
should not approach too near. Check
ing his warriors, the chief Of the baud
pointed with his hand to q buffalo in
the distant herd, then mentioned in
the Indian Language that the hunter
should shoot it. Murdoch fred as the
chief indicated and the buffalo fell.
The Indians gave q loud How OF ap-
prOval, waived their hands, turned
their ponies and swept on past the
hunter, leaving him to pursue his
shooting Of the buffalo unmoiesbed.n

The price of geld is fixed by law in
England. The Peel act of 1874 compels
the Bank of England to pay e3, lis,
and Sd for every ounce of gold of stand
ard fneness presented at it's counter.
This is what keeps gold all over the
world at SlS12, less carriage and insur-
ance, as it creates an unlimited market
for that metal. Now suppose silver
was in like manner provided for, does
anyone suppose that its price would
be less staple than that of gold?

So LONG as the American producers
are forced to pay to England an annual
interest that amounts to more than the
entire value of the American wheat
crop, the single standard of any money
metal continues a crime of far more
seriousness than murder ever can be.
1t is system that starves mind and
body, breeds acts of crime and drives
respondent and struggling men and
women to the suicides grave.

GERMANY has passed a stringent law
prohibiting gambling in the neeces-
saries Of life. Their statisticians have
proved by incontrovertible figures that
in proportion to the rise in prices of
bread stufs, made so by the manipula-
tons of stock gamblers, the increase in
crime rises in like ratio. Starvation
makes men outlaws.

1T appears that the supreme court,
after a weeks consideration, has de-
cided that rents, public salaries and
interest on bonds of every description,
are not subject to the income tax. In
other words, the very people for whom
the law was particularly made escape.
and the burden falls upon those who
engage in business. It is unfortunate
that there is a popular belief that the
courts decision was not an honest one,
but was made to fit circumstances.
But honest or otherwise, it does seem
as if the rich could not be reached by
government, and if it is a fact that
land monopolists and cupou cutters
are to go scott free of taxation, while
the rest of US are bled to death by the
assessor in one way or another, it is
high time that our system had more
vigorous shaking up than We have

~ sanctions this decision, it is an in
strument of oppression instead of an
organic law for the protection of rights
and liberties, and its real character
will be a surprise to the millions; and
with the constitution of the nation
protecting the millionaire bondholder
and preventing an equitable distribu-
ton of the burdens Of government, the
people should put forth every effort to
fill congress and every legislature with
representatives of the people to the
end that the fundamental law of the
republic be amended in the interests
of right and justice.

TIE Pennsylvania miners strike for

In the heat of the contest between
the bimetallists and monometallists
do not lose sight of the facts that there
are many more things that are inneed OF
reform. AS long as men and women
toll long hours for a mere pittance to
keep the breath of life in their bodies,
and others reap the benefit of their
toll, as long as there is extreme power
ty and extreme wealth, there will al
ways be room for reform.

The gold dollar having today pur.
chasing power 50 per cent greater than

Hens afford a profit from eggs and
flesh, and yet they excel, according to
the breed used, in either direction. He
who wishes to make eggs a speciality
should pay but very little attention to
the market qualities of the breed,
while those who wish to raise the best
birds for the market should make eggs
a secondary matter. 1t should be the
aim to secure both, if possible, but no
breed combines in itself all the re-
quirements for eggs and flesh. If we
secure a breed that comes up to such a
standard it may be lacking in some
other direction, perhaps tender when
young and not hardy. Always, how
ever, have a definite object in view
