the title Of "The First Attorney General
of Kansas"
Pittsburg Kansan (Pop.): Due credit
should be giVeE to Attorney General
Boyle for this new proof Of his deVo-
tion TO the cause of the people. He has
proven himself an indefatigable worker
and his success in this case (the scrip
and screen) Is but another proof OF the
Soundness Of his judgment on purely
legal and technical issues.

determination to sue on all default

FL Dorado Advocate (Pop.J Attorney
General Louis G.. Boyle has proven be-
yond peradventure that he was, Of all
other able Kansas Populist lawyers, the
right man for Attorney General when
the new Popullst laws were to be con-
tested in the courts. He is ever active,
abundantly able, brilliant, and rs loyal
a friend to the reform cause as Kansas
soil has produced. Mr.. Boyle is not
thirty years old, but his remarkable
ability, his undaunted courage and ac-
tive mind have caused "older heads
TO seek political seclusion. He undoubt-
edl! has a bright future before him.
Kansas City Star Qnd.): Attorney
General Boyle, of Kansas, has won an
other victory in the courts, IN his de-
tense Of the laws passed by the last Leg
islature. District Judge Simons, at Fort
Scott, Saturday, decided that the acts
regulating the coal mining industry are
constitutional, and may be enforced.
Attorney General Boyle has done tre-
mendous amount of hard work in press
ing suits for the enforcement Of laws
passed by the Kansas Legislature, and
objected to by corporations, and he has
gained the respect and the admiration
Of great many people who are not in
sympathy with the party to which he
belongs. He is a very important men,

Norton Champion (silVer Rep0: The

weeds of currency reform and bouquets
for Cuba. Thought we had the best cur
rency on earth.

ments Of facts, and short on platitudes

how to make two blades of grass grow

Hutchinson Bee (silver Rep.); When
the President, at the behest of the bank

Frost Protection.

Orange growers of California have
the same enemy to contend with as
their co-laborers i'm Florida frosts
and freezes. The following clipped
from the Riverside (Cal.) Press and
Horticulturist shows how the grow
ers of California are endeavoring to
find a method to save their crops and
trees from damage by frost. The ar
ticle contains many suggestions that
will be of interest and value to the
people of Florida.
Desiring to obtain reliable data as
a guide to action by orchardists in
preventing injury from frost, the
Riverside Horticultural Club, after
considerable discussion over the vari-
GUS theories presented, appointed a
committee, of which j. FL. Reed was
chairman, to institute a series of
practical experiments with the appli-
ances made use of in the valley for
that purpose.
Securing the assistance of an eX-
cellent crops of helpers, and carefully
organizing the work to be done, Mr..
Reed arranged for a thorough test
of the differentmethods and fixed up
on Saturday might for the first tests.
1t proved peculiarly fit for the in
vestigation.
Eight different plats were Laid out,

three different occasions the officers
came struggling in from forty-five to
siXty-five minutes late. The meeting
had been advertised to hold sessions
on Friday afternoon and evening, but
just at noon the business committee
through it's chairman, a Virginia gen
tleman, announced that a brief ses-
sion after dinner would conclude the
convention. At this, Mr.. L. A. Good
man of Missouri, got up and made
vigorous kick, expressing his objec>
tions to coming 700 miles on as boot
less an errand as that of the King of
France, who marched up the hill and
back again. Others joined in the pro-
test, and the society against it's will
was forced to carry out the letter of
it's promises, although the spirit in
the form of numerous papers did not
materialize, as the would be writer's
had forgotten to send them. AS your
readers perhaps know, the venerable
Berckmans declined reelection, and
C. L. Watrous of Iowa was chosen.
Why genealogical society should
90 to state which does not now and
never can produce a fair share of
fruit, was not explained. The gen.
tleman is in every way competen,
and worthy but his task of devising
ways and means to attract to the So
ciety general and enthusiastic
membership from all over the coun>
try is a Herculean one which many
would be glad to see accomplished,
but few believe will be.
The society still believes that its
catalogue which scarce a hundred
persons a year read, and still less take
any stock in, is of great value to the
nation, and so in lack of funds it's ex-
ecutive officers have arranged to have
it published by the Department OF
Pomology at government expense.
This will result in more general diff
fusion of the knowledge it is suppos-
ed to contain, and is a good move. 10
further this move Prof. Taylor of the

Department was made secretary, and
as he is both learned in pomology
and vigorous worker, the society
will not suffer at the hands of it's
most important ohcer.
just what place the American Po-
biological Society can be made to fill
in the future is a perplexing ques-
ton. 1t has been proposed to make
it delegate organization from State
societies. This would be a nice thing
for the delegates, provided lively
places were selected for meeting; but
[ cannot see what a congress of del
egates could do for pomology which
each delegate could not do better at
home under local requirements of eli
mate and environment. The three
national societies of Seedsmen, Flor
lists and Nurserymen attend to about
all that is necessary in the way of
special horticultural legislation and
reduced freights, so the only way in
which a national horticultural con-
gress would be of value is already an
ticipated. There are lines as yet COM
para lively untrodden in which the
masses are as yet untaught. There
is a wide field for horticultural edu-
catian and for impressing the masses
with the increased value, of homes
surrounded with all that horticulture
offers; and if the American Pomolog-
zeal Society can devise a system
which will popularize the artistic use
of trees and flowers around homes,
and the practice of fruit growing as a
recreat ton, it will have abundance of
work. Primarily this work of educa-
through the influence of local socie-
ties, but if a national organiza ton
could undertake the work of estab-
fishing such societies in every coun-
ty, it would do a work as useful and
lasting as that done by the American
Pathological Society IN The first quar-
ter-century of it's existence. The So
ciety is now too old and decrepit to
travel upon it's shape" and some
thing must be done if it would keep
up with the procession in this rapid
age. Of course the good it has done
will live after it, but this will not
long delay its demise if it neglects

society were back numbers.
The next meeting l attended was in
Washington the year before the Co.
lumbar Exposition, and there was
good deal of time spent in planning
and discussing in reference to MAX
which would acquaint the world with
the immense genealogical resources
of the country.
The worthy President Berckmans
presided with great dignity over
about forty delegates, representing
twenty states, and l have no doubt
he saw more plainly than some upon
the floor the homogeneous elements at
that meeting made up the American
Pathological Society. 1t was laugha-
BILE to hear a talkative clergyman
from Florida interject his orange ex-
perience into a discussion of Russian
apples, and vice versa, have an Iowa
nurseryman give his option as to the
profit Of growing the LIE Conte pear
in Southern Georgia.
The last meeting of this society
was held in September of this year
at Columbus, o., and was interesting
chiefly because two members who
had been with the society from the
start were able to be present and
take part in it's deliberations. For
forty-eight years, Prosper L. Berck-
mans and Geo. w. Campbell had been
with this society and watched with
it the wonderful development Of the
fruit industry of the United States,
and they seemed to be the only re-
naming links of chain which
stretched from the days Of Johnny
Appleseed to those of Hale and Well
house and score of others who
count their orchard trees by the fifty
or hundred thousand.
There was great lack of interest i'll
this meeting, and the two dozen mem
hers from abroad did not seem to
take very rosy view, Of the present
condi ton of the society. 1t was eX-
pected that the meeting would be in
the vicinity of Cleveland, and the
horticulturists of the northern part
of the state were chiefly instruments
al in getting the meeting in Ohio.
Just why the few horticulturist ait
the capital finally insisted on having
it there, I am unable to state, but it
was certainly unfortunate.
Columbus is only famous for the
fruit it consumes, and this year about
all the fruit in Ohio of any beauty or
value grew along the lake. The cleo
trio roads centering in cleveland
gave cheap means of reaching that
city, and I have little doubt the local
attendance would have been consid-
cradle and the members from abroad
would NOT have had to d'iscoursed ito
empty chairs. This of course is only
interesting now as it bears upon the
future of the society. I have no doubt
the meager attendance had an inf1u-
ence in deepening the impression
ciety was about run out. Whether "a
contrary impression, and galvaniz-
ing of the feeble body into few
more years of spasmodic action, would
