A MINISTER'S VIEW OF Mr. BERKLEY s
DTII

BILL.
Mr.. Editor. VIII You permit
me to say word concerning the
very remarkabl- bin recently offer
ed in our Legislature by one W ".
Berkeley. Not that | consider it
worth serious remark, bat. as u
matter Of pleasant p istime, should
ike to su)mit ittie problem that
would arise in nv own case, if il
were possible Tor Mr.. Berfeley'>
unconstitutional bill to become u
Law.
In my own congregation there
are over twelve hundred persons
who "habitpally attend" The sprvlc-
es Of the church, According to Mr.
! Berkeley's maryelous Bill, | aa. 10
d pastorily visit each Of these persons
twice a month. Now. allowing for
time Of going, for brief conytrsa-
ton and prayer, as the bill directs,
it would. eYen in the most econon-
zeal use Of The time, require at least
fifteen minutes TO visit each inai-
vidual; or, in other words, fur per
sons might be visited per hour.
Leaving out OF the calculation the
Sundays when the preacher is SUP
posed to be fully occupied with his
pulpit work. we have, say. twenty .
six visiting days in each month.
To visit twelve hundred persons
twice in twenty-six DAYS would re-
quire about ninety three visits per
day- It is, then, only matter Of
arithmetic to determine that. if ]
can only visit. upon an average,
four persons per hour, it will re-
Qgire twenty-three hours and a
quarter to complete the daily round
Of visits; leaving about three quar-
terS Of al hour IN the twenty-four
to pay the extra visits TO the sick.

be would doubtless be called upon
to oiiiciate at my funeral before the
first month Of attempted obedience
to bis law should expire
After all, who knows but that
this Is the ultimate object Of the
bill. 1t may be that its author
considers ministers Of the gospel in
the light Of public nuisances. and
could think Of no mrre eTcctual
way to rid The country Of their
pestiferous presence than that pro- /
posed in this ohimerical bill.
But | would respectfully suggest
that some member Of the LegisIa-
ture, who has in his bosom the
milk Of human kindness" move TO
amend Mr i3erkeley's cruel bill. by
empowering that gentleman to in
vest himself with wagon load Of
cartridges and a good Winchester

ers Of the State.
That, in my Judgement, would be
a much more humane way Of dis
posing of these troublesome mem
bers Of The Commonwealth than TO
compel them TO commit Wholesale
suicide Really, MIR Berkeley should
offer just one more similar bill. and
then he could afford to retire from
public life al ininitum, having

The vote in the House-2l5 to
9O-againSt the free coinage sub
stitute for the House bond bill
makes it certain that whether the
Senate passes the free coinage sub
stitute or not, free coinage is as
dead for this session as the Reed
tariff bill, and that brings forward
the question, what is this Congress
going to do anyway? It looks now
as though the republicans would
spend the time lot devoted to pass
ing the res ular appropriation bills
in making moves for Or against the
various presidential candidates, and
that the final result of the session
would be the appropriation bills.

sound Money.

Judge H. n. Northup of Portland was
listened to by large audience at the
court house Iast.evening. He announced
his platform to be sound money, protec-
tion, the restriction of foreign immigra-
ton and an open river from the Inland
Empire to the sea. Judge Northup's
utterances bear the impress of sincerity
He is OF the opinion that free coinage of
silver will be calamity that if adopted
will be most generally deplored. twill
drive gold out of circulation, because it
will then be the more valuable metal.
He is therefore the true bi-metallist and
the silver champions are the mono
mrtallists. He exposed the plan of a
minority in the senate to block tariff
legislation until the financial question
is settled, and believes the American
people are therefore forced to pronounce
fret upon it. Another principle of i'm
portance advocated by Judge Northup
was the restriction of foreign immigra-
tion, and his remarks on that score
seemed to be universally appreciated.
His speech throughout was received
with marked attention, very few leaving
the hall during his address of nearly two
hours' length. Many who could not find
seats stood up during the whole even
ing. Judge Northup was followed
in a short speech by Mr.. Lydell Baker,
who is a fluent speaker and orator, and
who entertained and gave expression to |
the same views as Judge Northup.

ofren one spraying will accomplish the
work, but if rains wash 1t off 1t is better
to spray two or three times.

Spraying Apple Trees.

The best-time to,spray apple trees is
just after the blossoms fall, and while
the blossom end of the young apple
stands up. The spray of poison then
falls into the blossom end of the apple
where the miller lays its egg, and when
the egg matches and the worm goes to
feeding on the fruit it gets a dose OF
poison with the first mouthfuI, and that
kills it and saves the fruit. That is the
whole secret of the success of spraying.
