The Penn's Grove record., 1897-07-30

Careful estimates denote that the
Delaware peach crop will not exceed
100000 baskets this year as against
100000 baskets last season. The fail
ure Of the crop will be a heavy loss to
the growers, and the disquieting feat
ure is that it is due to the %curculio. a
pest which seems to have got atop of
the Delawareans. So far as consumers
are concerned they will doubtless be
supplied from other markets; but there
is no assurance that the pest which has
rayaged N State may not carry its
depreciation into others, now that it
has got the peach taste in its mouth
unless the agricultural scientists shall
promptly step to the fore with a cheap,
effective and practical means Of COM
batting the common enemy.

One thing that vas done while the
new tariff law was before the confer
ence committee is surf to be widely
commended. That is the insertion of
a clause prohibiting the manufacturers
of tobacco or cigarettes offering any
sort of a prize or premium with tleiI
goods. The only pity is that a similar
law could not be made to apply to
everything else, for there is little doubt
that the introduction of lottery meth.

PROOFREADER'S ERRORS.
Some Humorous Incidents That Are the
Result of His Oversight.


Result of His Oversight.
No newspaper worker has to contend
against greater obstacles than does the
proofreader, and. when everything i.
taken into consideration the average ex.
cellence of his work Is little less than mar.
velous.
His errors of omission may easily be
pardoned. Whenever the type calls lovely
young bride "bird," the offense may
lightly be overlooked, since the meaning
is not entirely obscured. But the proof,
readers errors of commission belong in q
different category. Whenever he attempts
to straighten out the tangled meaning OF
something he doesn't understand, the re.
suit is something to make the judicious
grieve.
At the conclusion of the Ii Hung Chang
festivities in New York and just before the
distinguished Celestial left for China by
the Canadian route wrote paragraph,
saying, "Before Ii Hung Chang goes back
to China he ought to see the United
States" 1t came out in cold type, ali

before going back to China" Simultane-

is cruising about Oahu in search of
opium smugglers.

The Company known through
out the world as the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO

Having met with the highest sue
cess in the manufacture and sale Of
the excellent liquid laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, it has become import
ant to all to have knowledge of the
Company and its products. The
great value of the remedy as medi-
cinal agent, and of the Company's
efforts, is attested by the sale of
millions Of bottles annually and by
the high approval of most eminent
physicians.
The California Fig Syrup Co. was
organized more than twelve years
ago, for the special purpose of
manufacturing and selling a laxative
remedy. which would be more
pleasant to the taste and more bene-
fetal in its effects than any other
known. In the process of manufact-
uring, figs are used, as they are
pleasant TO the taste, and healthful
in their tendencies, but the medicinal
properties of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination oil
plants known to be incidentally lax
alive, and to act most beneficially.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then
laxative or other remedies are not
needed. If afflicted with any actual
disease one may be commended to
the most skillful physicians, but if
in need of laxative, then one
should have the best and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup Of
Figs stands highest and is most
largely used and gives most general
satisfaction.

A Fleeting "Reminiscences.
BY ADAM JAY.


Why does Columbia employ
Her great resources to destroy,
The little Kingdom Of Hawsii2
Methinks | hear the base reply
OF "heeting "reminiscences"
Oh, land OF Freedoms Starry flag
Woulds't use your power great
to drag,
A captive nation in your train,
And hope the outrage to explain
BY "heeting reminiscence"
Is this the sequel to the tale
That turned the checks OF tyrants
pale
That advertised to all the world,
"This flag for freedom is unfurled7"
Oh, heeting reminiscence!
How reads that document sublime
Whose characters defy fierce timei
"All men created equal free"
Can plunder weaker liberty
For feeting reminiscence.
The blood that flooded battlefield,
The sword that valor's hand did
WELD
Are memories forever past.
Traditions lore has proved at last
A feeting reminiscence.
Since Freedom ceases to inspire,
What motive actuates desire,
What purpose noble and divne7-
And echo answers saccharine,
The sweetest remiuiscence.
Westward the course of Fresdom
tends
To bolster sugar dividends
"Innocuous desuetude"
Lulls, honor, faith and rectitude
To feeting "Reminiscences.

1t is very significant incident
that the Grand Army refused, no
matter for what reason assigned, to
indorse the annexation of Hawaii,
Notwithstanding President McKin-
ley's presence at the gathering and
the fact that he has made it an Ad-
ministration measure. 1t shows that
the great masses Of the plain people
of the United States are not stand,
ing in with the politicians at Wash
ington who are preparing to take the
plunge into Pacific Ocean enterprise.
The shrill and shrewd workers from
Honolulu have succeeded in making
more noise in the land than any
real backing in public opinion en-
titles them to.
The members OF the local camp
of the G. A. r. ought to send that
sterling patriot, Alfred Steadman

BACON URGED TO VISIT HAwAlI-THE
SENATOR REFUSES AND DECLARES
HIS OPPOSITION TO ANNEXATION,
ATLANTA, September 10.-A speci al
from Macon says: United States
Senator Bacon, who opposed tbs
annexation Of Hawaii at the last
session of the Senate, has received
a letter from Minister Thurston ask
ing him to visit Hawaii and to see
for himself. Mr.. Thurston adds
that if agreeable to Mr.. Bacon, the
entire expenses OF his journey to the
islands and back will be borne by
the Hawaiian Government. Senator
Bacon has declined tho invitation,
stating that his opposition to annex
alton is basic, and that his accept
ance OF courtesy by the Hawaiian
Government at this juncture might
be misconstrued. Senator Bacon
has also received letter from Sena.
tor Morgan urging him to go to Ha-
waii.
After the clumsy attempt made
by our "best government TO influ-
enoe Commissioner Blount, in 1893,
a cautious man would have been in
clined to let gentlemen from Geor-
gia pay their own expenses; but not
so with persona non grata Thurston.
Upon the publication of the above
telegram newspaper men called up
on Mr.. Thurston to explain and he
declined to talk. Call down your
hoo.doo, Mr., Dole. or gentlemen will
be afraid to meet your agents. The
telegram makes matters extremely
awkward for the Senator from Ala
bama; but he is too old politician
not to have defense ready.

Mr. Ballou is reported to have
stated to the visiting members of
Congress that the lands adjoining
Pearl Harbor, selected by Admiral
Walker for the proposed naval sta
ton would he decided to the United
States for the consideration of one
dollar, provided the channel is
dredged out within two years. We
doubt that Mr.. Ballou has been cor
rectly reported. 1t would be sur
prising news indeed to learn that
the owners OF the lands adjoining
Pearl Harbor would be willing to
give away one foot Of their property
to the United States or anybody
else. Mr.. Ballou should have stated
to the Congressman that the title to
the portion OF Pearl Harbor picked
out by Admiral Walker is very
clouded, and that the transaction
suggested by the host of Mr.. Nor
gan Of Alabama would involve the
Government OF the United States in
a very costly and annoying lawsuit.
