The Pope's Encycllcal.

A summary of the pope's encycli-
cal to the American bishops shows
that the pope exhorts all Catholics
to do all in their power to encourage
the progress of the university in
Washington, as well as the North
American College in Rome. AS re-
CARDS the apostolic delegation
to the church in the United States
the pope says that it was instituted
with a view to drawing more closely
together the bonds between the
Catholics of America and the Holy
See, without in any way curtailing
the powers of the bishops. He ur-
ges the American episcopate to put
an end to strife and to instill the
idea of the unity and perpetulty of
marriage among the faithful and to
inculcate among the people the
civil and religious WRITES. The
pope calls upon the bishop to turn
aside the workingmen's associations
from law-breaking and violence and
urges them to teach newspaper men
to respect religion and trnth, and
toreprove those journals which pass
judgement upon episcopal acts:
finally to turn the Protestants to
Catholicism by charity, by instruc-
ton in the doctrine Of the Catholic
church and by leading exemplary
lives.

LORD RAEDoLPH CHURCHILL,
who has lately died, was married to
an American girl. At his death
the Queen Of England sent letters
of coincidence to his mother, the
Duchess Of Marlborough and his
sister, Lady Wimborne, but wilfully
ignored the statesman's wife, Lady
Churchill. This little incident is
in line with Victoria's policy.
That she is an upstart and vain

The policy of the present admin

over 100000 in running down
what were termed to be fraudulent

by waves of disturbed conditions

likely to enter period of fuctua-
ting weather, embracing the re-
naming portion of the month,
which may merge to extremes of
heat and cold, attended also by
other disturbances of an intense
character, tornadoes and cyclones

the north and IN central parts high
winds and thunder storms followed
by extreme cold. On or touching
the goth a wave of summer heat
will likely spread over all sections,
which about the 22d, or dates
touching it, will be fanked by a
wave of disturbance, much intensi-
fed, that may embrace several days
attended by storm paroxysms before
the disturbance is fanked by the
northwest winds. The last disturb
ance of the month will be about it's
close, which will pass over to March.
A portion Of March Is quite likely
to impress the most of us that sum-

cations are that the I'd and Sd

S declared by President Cleveland.

"S oOOi"lOu Wy AOoluOAO iOsVAoAN'
The report of the commissioner of
pensions shows that during thefEar
there we're 1914 persons conyictd of
fraud in connection with pension
cases in the bureau of the United
States.
A careful analysis of the these
1914 convictions shows that but 80
of them were really pensioners.
The others were claimants, attorneys,
sub-agents, impostors, etc. We have
therefore 80 pensions at cost of
100000, being $10,256 for each
conviction, to which mu st be added
the courts fees of commissioners
marshals and witnesses, which will
swell the amount to perhaps double
that contained in the appropriation
of 100000.
A question we wish to PROFOUND
as political one is, Is this a credi-
table showing to the Democratic
administration when no less a per-
son than the president of the United
States declares that "thousands of
neighborhoods have ySAeis .sgslll
known fraudulent PENSIONERS
that with the machinery Of the
governments in his hands, his sub
ordinates fully and thoroughly
equipped at an expenditure of nearly
81, 900, 700, he is only able to find
80 frauds, not beng even one to each
state of the Union as a result Of a
whole years work, with a great
government of rs, 100000 Of people
behind him, inviting and assisting
him in the enforcement Of crime.
What we suggest under the circum-
stances is that President Cleveland
had better either cease charging that
the neighborhoods of the United
States "haye their we'll known
fraudulent pensioners" or else he
had better make a satisfactory
showing, through the work of his
departments, in discovering who
these frauds are. The Republican
record is better than this, where no
charge Of fraud was ever publicly
made.
We have only to add, as a further
criticism, that there are now &c.,
asa pensioners on the roll. The 80
frauds discovered by Grover Cleye-
land and his commissioner of pen.
sions last year show that there is
but one fraud discoverable in every
$4,000 pensioners upon the -oll.
If any such record can ever be
questioned or made the subject OF
basis of fraud, we would ask, then
for basis of percentage allowable
in any great system, when testimony

The Republican View.

The Republican view of the van
ishing gold reserve is that the reve-
nues of the government should be in
creased. That an overplus over
expenditure, however small, should
stop the drain. The present treas
ury management has largely lived
on borrowed money, and this evil
dence of mlsmanagement is about as
alarming thing in the eyes of good
financiers as the scandalous freedom
with which railroad investors have
been feeced.
The representative of the Roths-
childs has been in Washington and
presumably his argument consists
in the offer of taking all the balance
Of new bonds that may be issued
and not desired or required by our
own people. This will stop the
drain of gold, to be sure, but the
policy of borrowing should never be
resorted to, Republican leaders say,
except in the case of absolute neces-
sity, such as war or rebellion. The
practical way is to increase all du-
ties 10 per cent, and place the same
rate on all articles contained in the
free list. A drawback of 5 per cent
might be allowed on imports brought
in in American vessels. The meas
ure need only be a temporary one
until such time as Will show a sur
plus beyond reserve limits.
The Republican programme will
probably be determined along the
lire of tariff, and there are many
Democrats who would prefer such
policy to that of increasing the in

OF all the points in strawberry
culture, none has received more
attention and downright hard
thinking than the matter of fertili-
zing the crop, and none has been
less satisfactorily answered. Hun
dreds and hundreds of dollars have
been spent for commercial fertili-
zers, nitrate of soda, dissolved rock,
hardwood ashes and complete spe-
clal strawberry of the best makers,
but never in single instance has
there been enough difference so that
one unacquainted with the facts
could distinguish the fertilized
from the unfertilized places. To
determine these matters once for
all, was the reason for making so
great a difference between the APP
plIcations on the east and west sides
of plat No. 2 mentioned in the
previous article. (Readers will
remember one side had one-half ton,
other side one and a half tons and
center nothing Of $35 fertilizer. If
any Of The REPUBLICAN readers,
who think they haYe done their
duty by their land when they have
given it sack Of SIS fertilizer,
wish it we will ask Sweet & Shack
ford to tell us about their $50 ex-
periment.) At the present writing
there seems to be little difference.
If so, it will appear later. Two
substances in this line have always
given very decided answers: Stable
manure uniformly gives increased
tops, learlier runners, larger and
softer berries, which hold their size
to the end better, and one can dis
tinguish across the field where 1t
has been applied. The other is
sawdust. One winter the entire
crop was covered except a few rods
with so loads per acre of fresh saw
dust, oak and hemlock. The first
of the season, its i'll effects were not
so apparent, and the crop was about
as good as where it had not been
mulched, whereas it should have
been better; after picking it was
thought best to pillow up the patel
and put in drilled corn for fodder

PLANTING TREES.
Twenty Rules to be Observed 10 Insurs
success.

Twenty Rules to be Observed t. Insure
Success.
The following twenty rules are self
evident to most tree planters. who, for
want OF attention. break some of them,
and reminders arc therefore often use
fu!:
!. A valuable sort is worth more than
merely handsome tree.
9. Good, healthy, bracing roots are
Of more Importance than q symmetrical
ton.
s. The roots should b long and
strong enough. ami the top made light
enough. to Obviate any stalking.
4. If the roots of tree are frozen,
and then thawed out of the ground or
in contact with the air, the tree will
be killed.
5. If frozen roots are thawed in COM
ractly-pressed mellow earth, the tree
may be made to live.
8. Manure should never be placed in
contact with the roots when setting
out the tree, but used for a mulch or
top-dressing.
z. Trees should always be set about
rs deep as they stood in the nursery,
or two or three inches deeper, to allow
for the settling of the earth.
g. Spread out the roots nearly equally
on all sides, SO as to brace the tree
we'll.
Q. Avoid particularly any small cav
ity next to the roots, but fill compactly
against them on all sides with fine,
mellow earth.
~. A small, thrifty tree with copious
roots when set out will be good bear
ing tree sooner than large one with
mutilated roots.
IL. Watering in dry weather crusts
the surface and does not reach the
roots.
IL. Young trees should not be set in
. grass lot or among any crops of
sowed grain; but the whole surface
kept clean and mellow.
13. Shriveled trees, before planting,
may be made plump by covering for
several days, compacity. with moist,
mellow earth.
IA. II newly set ones suffer from
drought mulch the ground about
them. and frequently sprinkle of
shower the stems and branches.
Is. The roots extend as FAR from the
tree as its entire height; clean and
mellow cultivation should therefore |
cover . circle twice as wide as its |
height.
16 As a general rule cultivation |
should be continued for six. eight or |
ten years from planting, after which |
closely grazed or lawn-mowed grass
may be permitted with frequent top
dressing.
II. The amount Of manuring or top
must vary with the vigor Of
the tree; young trees should grow two
Or three feet yearly, and bearing ones
one foot or more.
IS. Keep an eye to the future shape
u the tree. and t&mely remove small.
