maple, elm and mountain ash.
The beetle will attack perfectly
healthy trees, but has a decided pref
erence for weak and sickly ones. A
tree infested with this insect can be
easily detected by little careful OBJ
servation. The trunk and larger

SHERIFF'S MISFORTUNE.
Great Calamity Which has Fallen Upon All Concerned Seek. ing Relief From

The Montgomery County Herald last Monday at Mount Ida, by which another Arkansas sheriff will be added to the list of delinquents when the time rolls around for settlement with the State and county, unless the bondsmen succeed in making good the amount of the deficit, said to be $l 800 Hon. G. Witt, one of the bondsmen, was in Little Rock the latter part of the week in the interest of Sheriff Geo. A. Tackett.
 This is indeed a sad calamity, when the present deplorable and financial condition of the people is taken into considera tion. resulting from the disastrous drouth of last year. Ii no leniency is extended by pushed desperately, as it is general. y conceded it is an extremely hard task to raise the funds needed by Sheriff Tackett to replace the amount of the destroyed public revenue.
 Sheriff Tackett makes the follow ing statement of the unfortunate and rather peculiar accident which caused the deficit:

DECLINE IN SILVER.

NEW YORK, May 22-The New York Jomaot says Silver bullion has just sold at 60 cents per ounce, the lowest point it has ever touched, except short period in 1891, when 1t sold at 58 cents per ounce.

TIE PACIFIC RAILWAYS AND THE CONDITION OF THE COUNTRY AT THE TIME
 THEY WERE BUILT
Eleven States Could Not Reach the East Except by Water Now all Have
 Railroad Com
 munication.

snecial Correspondence.
 WASHINGTON, May 24-In opening the discussion upon Pacific Rail- ways. we should take into oconsidera- ti0n the condition of the country at the time they were chartered. The broad expanse of country lying be- , t4=ss;.ii | lie Missouri Riyer ant! the Pacific Ocean was at that time known as the Great American Desert. The fertile States now cm- hracing he Dakotas. Nebraska, Kansas and Colorado on the east; the mountain States, Utah, Idaho, and Nevada; and the coast States, Washineton. Oregon, and California, were N ilh..at means of transporta- ton to the markets of the world, eX- cepting what might be transported around Cape Horn by sea. For the purpose of opening up this vast and fertile area, it became the slogan of all political parties to encourage the
 building of a Pacific Railway, and when the bill was presented in Cong ress. it was not Il party measure.
 The Government granted for 20 miles on each side of the proposed track, alternate section of land 10
 1he railway. and in addition thereto,
 gave them $30.000 per mile, which
 was secured by a second mortgage
 qn the track and franchise of the
 road. The manner in which these
 railroad bonds were issued, was that
 when ten miles of the road was
 built, and the iron laid then $500, GOO
 in bonds was issued to the Corpora
 tion and this issue of $30, ,000 was
 made a lien hpon the roadbed and
 franchises of the ten miles then and
 there completed. There are no bonds in existanee, or ever were, which had a mortgage securing them upon the entire road. but each bond is secured
 by it's identical ten miles of the track. It can be seen readily tnat in fore
 closing the mortgages to enforce the
 payment of these bonds that Q dis ~inct and separate suit must be made upon each mortgage for each ten miles of the road. Ordinarily in giving mortgages for the construc- tion of railway or any other pur- pose. the mortgage reads SO as to cover the entire object mortgaged, and when a default is made in a part it means default of the whole, and the mortgagee can enforce the pay ment of part as well as the whole. The law granting the franchises to the corporations which the Pacific Railroads was granted to two Com panies. First, the Union Pacific Company which was to commence It's operations at Omaha, and build west; and the other, the Central Pacific ompany, which was to com . mence on the Pacific coast and build
 east to the point of junction; this ,k was to terminate the respective mileage of each line. This arrange ment made quite contest in the Construction of the roads, SC much

taken steps, would possess, In other hands,
very high potential strategic consequence,
the former being on the Mona Passage
and tho latter on the Anegada Pas
sage, as Kingston and Santiago de Cuba
are on the Windward Passage; and certain
ly superior navy, resting on the two latter
points, could greatly harass the path to the
Isthmus. Our lack of useful harbors on 80
great portion Of the long Florida penin-
sula is disadvantage.
On the whole, tho most striking "single
position" in the Caribbean Sea Capt. MAHAN
considers to be Jamaica. But when the
size, position, and products of Cuba are re-
garded, this really becomes preponderant,
because 1t brings both "quantity and quail
ity." Capt. MAHAN fingers upon the compar.
ison between these two islands, mainly to
make it still clearer that Cuba possesses the
greater advantages, and indeed has mo
military rival among the islands Of the
world, except Ireland" He does not add
that Cuba ought never to be held by a
naval power hostile to the United States,
but that conclusion may suggest itself.

England's Trade with Germany and
Belgium.

The denunciation Of the British CONNER.
cial treaties with Germany and Belgium,
which was brought about by Sir WILFRID
LAuRIER, provoked for time not single
dissenting voice. Those Conservatives who
are more or less avowed protectionists
approved the act as the first step to-
ward the creation of a commercial union
between Great Britain and her colonies,
which would be protection in a new
guise. The Liberals were equally pleased,
inasmuch as they regard commercial
treaties of any kind as alien to the spirit
of free trade. Now, however, that the tre-
mendous proportions Of the trade affected
have begun to be considered, not n few
thoughtful Englishmen seem disposed to
view the new policy with misgivng as
being, at best, leap in the dark. One of
these is the well.known statistician. Mr..
NJ. G. MULHALL, who has compiled some
striking data relating to the subject for the
Contemporary RerieD.
The total trade between Canada and the
rest of the British Empire falls short, it
seems. of $1OO,OOO,O00. On the other
hand, the commercial dealings between
the British Empire on the one and Ger
many and Belgium on the other have an
annual value of 1896, 600. 900. No one can
examine the figures showing the trade rela-
tlons between Germany and the British
Empire in the last ten years without recog.
nizing that Germany Is n powerful factor
in the development of British commerce.
Tie value OF British trade with Germany
In 1855 was about 1910 1000 900; in / s85
1t had risen to $41O 1000 900. In other
words, British dealings with Germany had
increased In single decade 90 per cent,
while the whole trade of the British
Empire had risen only ID per cent. 1t is
also to be noted that Germany buys
from British subjects 80 per cent. more
than they buy from her; consequently, IL
there were any ground for jealousy, on the
old theory of the balance of trade, it would
be on the German side. Only by the United
States is Germany surpassed In the amount
of traffic with the British Empire.
We pass to Belgium, which, as Mr.. Null
HALL points out. is one of the most pros
porous commercial nations in Europe, her
foreign commerce being equal to 800 per
inhabtant, against $50 in Germany, and
500 in the United Kingdom. These fig.
ures aye the more surprising for the reason

navy OF her own, about 20 per cent. of her
commerce being carried on by means OF
British shipping. She is said to pay British
] shlpowners about So 500, 900 year to do
the larger portion of her carrying trade.
| No less than 80 per cent. of her total
commerce is with the British Empire. The
aggregate value of Belgian trade with
British subjects In 1878 was $143, ,5OO,-
900; in 1898 1t had risen to 1884,
100000. There had been. in other
words, gain of % per cent. in twenty
years. The relative magnitude of the di.
rect trade between Belgium and the United
Kingdom is brought out by comparing the
dealings with Great Britain of various
countries per head of their population.
