said that metropolitan banking opin-

chamber OF commerce. Those bankers
who favored this policy could offer no

THEY COME JUST THE SAME.

German newspapers, particularly those
inspired" by the authorities, are intent
upon trying TO check emigration to the

people intending 10 expatriate themselves

How effectual their efforts are may be

PROTECT THE TREES.

WashingtonianS remember with feelings
of regret the devastation OF the cItys beau
tiful shade trees last year by the onslaught
of the caterpillars. Entire streets We're
denuded of foliage. and the little pests in
vadcd even the gardens and parkings of
private homes. 1t is reported that there
is danger OF "A similar visitation this year,
and the park commission should take
early precautions to stay the threatened
ravagcs. Ii the funds its disposal are too
limited to admit of energetic and compre-
hensive action, the commissioners should
at once ask Congress for the necessary ap-
preparation. Last year hundreds of trees
were killed by the insects this year means
ought to he cmplo yed to vethe others from
like fate.
The parks and the shade trees are the
pride of the city, and every stranger visit
ing Washington is loud in admiration of
the grateful green that greets the eye at
every turn. In no other city is there such
a showing of rus iu urbe." 1t forms one
of the distinctive features OF the capital in
the spring and sumner and serves to at
tract people from other places to take up
their residence here. 1t would be worse
than folly, therefore, TO disregard
the lesson taught by last years expert
ence. Not only the park commission, how
ever but individual citiZeus, should give
their attention % the trees and seek To pro-
tect them from the attack of the caterpil-
lar or any other hurtfuI bug or insecu.
