NEED FARMERS. ADVICE

1t is strange that here in Washington at
the headquarters of chronological and tree
culture learning no way can be found to
prevent our shad De trees from being destroyed
by caterpillars.
1t is claimed that the devasta ton of this
pest is confined 10 the English elm, but OBJ
servation shows that other shade foliage is
being attacked, and that eventually the
trees themselves must suffer unless some
means are devised TO kill the caterpiIIars.
One OF the principal attractions of Wash
ington is her delightfully-sl streets
and avenues. Lined as they are by ma
ture's beautiful sentinels they are thorough
fares Of loyeiiness such as few other cities
can boast. Perhaps the authorities realize
the Importance of protecting this arboriaI
beauty, and possibly they are poweriess to
check the work of the worm. But at least
they should make a vigorous effort, and If
necessary seek assistance from outside
sources.
Let this appearance Of jgnorance on the
part OF those in charge OF saving our trees
be upheld with the appearance at least
OF a desire TO reHder efficient service IF
departmental science finds it impo ssfi,le

public, and perhaps one. OF our Virginia or

LYDECRER'S HOLE IN THE
GROUND.

The people Of the District will soon have
discharged debt which they should never
have been called upon TO pay. The Ly-
decker tunnel, otherwise known as the hole
in the ground, was undertaken against the
judgment and wishes OF the taxpayers and
when 1t ended, there was nothing TO show
for the millions Of dollars expended, save
that big hole in the ground, which. up to
this time, has been of no earthly use and the
future availability Of which is still prob
lematical.
However, somebody had to foot the bills,
and upon the District was settled one-half
Of the amount it had cost TO dig the hole.
From the surplus revenues Of the District
the Indebtedness has been repaid 20 the
United States until only about fifty-six
thousand dollars remains due. This Will
be liquidated in the course Of the next fiscal
year, and then the hole in the ground viii
be unimcumbeTed To debt-and water.
The examination recently made by an
officer OF the Engineer Corps OF the Army
was 10 determine whether or moi the tunnel
can Yet be utilized for the purpose it was
intended TO serve, that is TO increase the
city's watersupply y,aconsummationde "a devoutly
to be wished. If it should turn out that the
hole in the ground is stiIl e..od for something,
the taxpayers of the District will be en-
titled TO remark that sweet are the uses OF

HOWELL EDMusDs JACKSON.

The Intelligence OF the death of Asso-
ciate Justice Jackson, OF the United States
Supreme Court, win cause regret in Wash
ington, where he was well known and
highly esteemed, but DO surprise.
Mr.. Jacksou's health had been most
delicate FOR long time, and it is not
improbable that the effort he made TO be
present at the rehearing OF the income tax
cases taxed his vitality so severely as to
have hasteued the end.
The deceased jurist's career was honorable
in the highest degree. 1t vas such as
might have been expected from man ofhis
mental attainments and elevated moral
character. No higher tribute could have
been paid to his Integrity than his appoint
ment TO eminent judicial positions by both
a Democratic and Republican President and
his confirmation though himselfa Democrat,
by Republican Senate.
His service or the supreme bench was
but brier-about two years-but it gave
him the opportunity 10 prove that he was
obedient 10 the dictates of duty, even though
health and life itself paid the forfeit.

IT'S ONLY a QUESTION OF TIME.

IL II DNL La Qt ES11ON OF TIME.
The Chicago University, which, at the
request OF Millionaire Rockefeller, has just
discharged Prof Bemisfor aenouncing trusts
and rnonoPolies, is destined 10 become the
center OF education for sons of money kings
who do not believe in the-rights OF labor.
One OF its faculty, Prof ]. Lawrence
Laughlin, now in the chair OF political
economy, is on record as favoring monopoly,
and II his colleagues are Of the same way OF
thinking the Chicago University is sure to
be popular with millionaire monopoly mag
mates. Here is what Prof. Laughlin SAYS:
The managers wages ire payments
OF exactly the same nature as any labor
er's wages. ltmakes no difference whether
wages are paid for ma anual or mental labor
The payment 90 capital, purely a such,
known as interest with insurance for

Us? To the conclusion that the lab0rer, if
he would become something more than
the Garner OF wages in the ordinary sense,
must himself move up ia the scale OF la

il has long been conceded that men rule by
brain force; that power, position, riches
and influence are the results OF superior
intellect 1t is also well known that strong
minds are frequently misdirected, and
Instead OF benefiting the world are made
instruments OF injury and oppression Itis
this latter species or mental strength that
induces men TO monnpOlize wealth 10 the
detrinlcut OF their less fortunate brethren.
Actuated by TIE same brain energy that
caused tyrant kings and robber barons to
plumber the people a few centuries since,
corporation nIRgnates are now preying upon
the public in less bioodthirsty but nearly
aE destructive manner
Manual laborers, as Prof. LaughliD des-
gnates working people. cannot rise in the
scale of humanity when weighted down
by monopolistic managers. Peopae who

AN OFFER TO SUBSCRIBERS.

Enteprsing readers require progressive
Journalism and the day OF the slow-moying,
opinionated newspaper has Joined fortunes
with the canal boat and the stage coach.
Its bright, sprightly successor, with i'm
proved facilities for news gathering and
cheaper methods Of publication, has become
the popular faTorlte and the old fogy
journal is thing OF the past. A few years

Times has commenced the publication af
morning and evening editions, which arede-
Hyered by carrier to all parts Of the city
not later than $50 o'cluck a. m. and $50
O'Clock p. N. each day, except SUNDAYS,

twenty-paEe edition. This method of fur
nishing readers with the fullest and latest
Information on All topics, foreign, do
mestic, and local, twice each day, is GER
tain 10 be immensely popular. II enables
them to follow up subjects in which they
are interested without waiting twenty
four hours for tie less enterpTising daily,
and every up-to-date reader will take the
bi-daily Times SO as not la be behind the

The most satisfactory feature Of tins
new departure is the cheapness OF its SER
vice. 1t costs only FIFTY CENTS A

begun its naturally consistent work OF per-
scouting employees for uniting with or

charged for affiliating with the Railway
Protective Union, and it is generally un-
derstood that the remainder of the en-

Before wage eaFners comprehended the

easy for employers opposed to organized
labor to hold them in check. But that
time has gone by and any effort nowadays

revolt There is nothing TO be feared
from organized labor If employers are in

About Katherine Aliens Arrest
Katherine Alien, an inmate of house No
406 Thirteenth street northwest was
locked up at the Twelfth street police sta
ton, about lao O'Clock this morning by
Policeman Fiather and Kilmartin on sus-
picion, the case involving serious criminal
elements.
The arrest grew ont of the decidedly sus-
picious actions of the young woman earlier
in the night About 10 O'Clock she eni-
ployed Hackman Wright to drive her across
Long Bridge.
Upon reaching point midway across the
bnD6c, at Tie chanael, where the water is
quite deep, she called 10 him TO stop,
which he did. She alighted, and taking
a box which she had with her, told him
it contained the dead body of an infant
Then the woman wanted to know if there
would be any danger of discovery if she
dropped the box overheard lit that point
The box, a fancy oak affair, had a spring
catch, and Wright told her it would float
and that she had better not throw it over
there. He told her OF place nearer the
Washington side. She agreed and he drove
her back
AT the point mentioned by Wright there
was no marsh, but-dry ground. She threw
the box and contents over the rail
The hacknan afterwards returned to the
flats, where the box had been thrown over
and recovered it. The box and its contents
were then taken in charge by Policemen Kill
martin and Fiather, who took it to No. l
station house and will notify Coroner Ham
