A Voice From AndaIusia.

Out of all the turmoil and ill-feeling
now being manifested with regard to
the complications growing out of the
Cuban imbroglio, there comes from
the Infanta Eulalia, of Spain, through
the New York World, message of
good will to the people of this country
which is like breath of Spring after
ternpests of Winter. She writes.
Sweet remembrance of the affec-
tionate reception given to me by the
people of the United States when /
went to their country, representing
my own at the festivities in honor OF
Columbus, lives and ever will live in
my heart.
During those festivities strong
proofs of mutual esteem were given
by both countries.
II became convinced, and still am
persuaded, that never, never should
that traditional friendship be broken,
much less should peace be disturbed.
Being apart from affairs of State,
l can only pray God fervently that
cordial relations between the two
countries may never cease.

MAY CAUSE A COLLISION.

Having become a renowned duck
hunter, President Cleveland delivered
an address at big missionary meet
ing in New York the other night, and
IN the course of the same referred to
the great West as being afflicted with
vicious and criminal elements. F" He
said in substance that persons who
bear good regulations in the East and
who were true Christians under the
influences prevailing there, retrograd-
ed-backslid-frequently when they
went West and that 1T was a very
good thing to send missionaries to re-
claim them. Now he confronts a
new condition. The Star oil Empire
has halted-stopped dead still-and
is reckoning to Perrine's comet to
halt in ITS mad career and with its
light and luminous caudality switch
the White House occupant till he
changes his mind.
Westerners claim that they are
just as good as any down-easter that
lives and BANKED sight better than
all who entertain such extraneous
ideas about them.

Behold How Brethren Dwell in Unity.

The friends of sound money need
keep their eyes open when it comes to
selecting delegates to the Davis con-
vention. There will be strong eff
fort made and some sly methods used
by the Populistic element to send free
silver men to the Chicago convention.
II the issues must be met let us meet
It and silence the quacking of the
cheap money advocates. No man
should be permitted to vote for dele
gates to the Davis convention unless
he pledges himself to vote the ticket.
-Martinsburg Statesman.
The great mogul has spoken; now
let all the earth keep silence. If the
delegation to the Chicago convention
comes from the people they will be
for free silver, despite the office-hold-
ers. We will now venture the pre-
diotion, and the Statesman may put
it in his pipe and smoke it, that if
West Virginia does not send a silver
delegation to the Chicago convention,
the State IS as assuredly Republican
as If the election was over and the
votecounted. That the farmers should
be prosperous, is of infinitely more
Importance than that Bower should
have the Martinsburg postofice. It
is OF no use to mince matters; a con-
dltlon confronts us, and the only way
to remove an issue is to meet it hon.
estiy and squarely. The State and
National Democracy is assuredly beat
en- before the fight if the Cuckoos are
to be the leaders and through conven.
ton manipulation defeat the will
OF the majority of the people. The
ONCE holders party whip, which cir
cies their heads la that of the bull
drivers of the plains, has lost its crack.
er. There is no such thing as Cleve-
land democracy, except in its prototype
Sherman Republicanism. The reason
We cordially despise Clevelandism is
because it is identical with the most
corrupt Republication. To be read
out of the Democratic party by the
oihee-holders of this mugwump ad.
ministration is something like hypo.
ciits reading the Christians out ofths

A NEW FRUIT TREE PEST.
Prompt Action Necessary to Prevent
its Spread.
THE SAN JOSE SCALE.

THE SAN JOSE SCALE.
Last spring 4 notice was sent from
the Experiment Station to all of the
newspapers in the State, warning
farmers and fruit growers of the dam
ger of introducing into West Virgin
ia, the San Jose Scale and other fruit
tree pests on fruit trees from New Jer-
sey nurseries. We have now to an
nounce that it has been introduced in
this manner, and is becoming estab-
lished in at least three sections of
the State; namely, in Monongalia
County near Georgetown; in Brooke
County near Wellsburg; and in Ber-
kelley County near Martinsburg. In
formation obtained from the parties
sending infested specimens from these
localities, shows that the scale was
introduced in the Spring of 1894. on
fruit trees from the nurseries of Will
liam Parry, of Parry, N. ].
It is OF the utmost importance,
therefore, that every one in the State
should make thorough examination
of the trees, to determine whether or
not the Scale is present
The San Jose Scale is a minute,
waxy, dandruff-like scale, adhering
to the bark on the branches and twigs
of the infested trees. On trees that
are badly infested the twigs have e
dirty appearance, as if covered with
ashes. Upon close examination with
nagnifying glass the smaller scales
will be found to have a dark eye-like
spot in the center of the upper surface,
while the larger ones will have a
light or bright golden spot in the
same position.
This is one of the worst fruit tree
pests known, and its appearance in

fruit industry Of the State. If any
thing is found that resembles the
above description, specimens of the
infested twigs should be sent at once
to the Experiment Station for anthem
tic indenti6cation, and If on examina-
ton it proves to be the true San Jose
Scale, a circular letter will be forward
ed to the sender and to his county
papers, giving full instructions for
the application of the best known
remedies for the destruction of the
pest.
The presence of this insect in West
Virginia should receive the prompt
attention of every one who is in any
way interested in the future welfare of
the fruit industry Of the State.
By prompt action upon the part
of the owners of infested trees and
trees that are in danger of being in
tested, the Scale can be kept IN check
with comparative little expense and
loss. neglected, enormous loss will
result and the pest will get beyond
control. A. d. HOPKINS,
