OFFICE IN TRIBUNE BUILDING.
TUESDAY. JUNE z, 1893.

Cruelty to insects and animals is a
trait often noticed in the young, es-
pecially the boys. An airgun in the
hands of an active little fellow who is
bent on sport is a terrible object to
the little songsters that nest in our
trees and cheer us with their melody.
1t is common sight to see MANNED
and wounded birds hopping over the
lawns. We overheard little fellow
the other day boasting that he had
killed seven birds during the aftar-
noon. This war of determination is a
disgrace, and should be discouraged.
In most cases it is only thoughtless-
ness. When the boys fully realize the
wanton cruelty of this useless slaugh-
ter they will be more careful. With
an airgun in their hands it is a great
temptation to shoot at everything that
moves or stirs about in the trees, and
the amount of street lamps and win
dows which have been broken lately
go to show that there is also tempta-
tion to shoot at other objects when the
young mischiefs believe they are Sc
cure from detection. The nuisance has
become so great in some parts of the
city that there will probably be de-
mand made before the village council
to prohibit the use of airguns, inside
of the corporate limits. Perhaps the
best method of insuring the safety of
harmless creatures from the lingering
savage instincts Of ouryoutb, however,
would be the organization of a few
bands of mercy, who with kind words,
deeds and the distribution of literature
could soon bring the young people to
a realization of the wrong in harming
the little creatures which fill our trees
with music.

Penalty of Wit.

There is no more unhappy man than
he who is described by injudicious
friends as extremely witty" Better
for THAT man if he be subject to the
charge of parricide. For gradually he
becomes conscious of his reputation
and tries to live up to it. If u man Of
true wit delivers himself of one good
speech month, he is doing admirably,
and the potentially of his speech will
be constant source of amazement.
Few are willing to be thus self-6on-
tanned. They wish to strike 10 every
ten minutes. They fail to see the ne
cessity of a background of seriousness.
They degenerate quickly into aggres-
sive monologists. They are peevish, If
laughter is not hair-trigger affair.
And If there is no more unhappy man
there is also no greater bore than your
wit of the first magnitude. When you
see Mr.. Dazzler working his mind in
corner at the club, sitin another room,
or go home; there will be no chance OF
converse tion-which being interpreted
means that You will have no oppor-
tunity Of exploiting your own ability.

Prevent
Pneumonia

Prevention is always better than
cure, even when cure is possible.
But so many times pneumonia is not
cured that prevention becomes the
natural act of that instinct of self
preservation which is the first law
of nature" Pneumonia can be pre-
vented and is often cured by the use
Of Ayers Cherry Pectoral.
"Some years ago had severe cold and
was threatened with pneumonia. could
neither eat nor sleep, and was in wretched
condition. procured bottle Of Ayers
Cherry Pectoral and took it according to the
directions, and at the end of fifteen daysw a.
as well and sound as before the attack.
have recommended it in many cases Of pneu-
monia since, and have never known it to fail
in e6ecting cure"
JOHN HENRY, St. Joseph, La.
II was attacked with cold that settled
on my lungs, and defed the skill of my ply
sicians 80 that they considered me incurable.
At last began to use Ayers Cherry Pectoral
and was entirely cured after having taken
two bottles"

Those popular, Songs.

The city council Of Mankato, Kan-
has at heart the interests of the peace
loving citizens of the town, and that
is what has p-omptedit to protect them
from the torture OF having 10 listen to
the strains of every song which be-
comes popular enough to be whistled
or sung by people who have no regard
for the peace of mind of others. In
1894, when after the Ball. was being
inflicted on the country Mt large, and
Mankato was getting her share of it.
the city councilmen rose in their wrath
and decreed that any person who sung
OF whistled the too-familiar tune
should be fined so cents for each and
every offense, the act Of such singing
or whistling being characterized as
public nuisance. After that the resi-
dents of the city had peace, but now
the council has been compelled to get
out its blue pencil again and cross from
the list of songs which may be rendered
in public the much-abused one which
sets forth that "There'll Dc Hot Time
in the Old Town Tonight" AS re-
suit of this ordinance it is expected
that the town will be fairly quiet until
some other song becomes SO popularity
as to be nuisance.

Bailey Of Texas on Teller Resolution

Does one of you believe that if the
bonholder owed the government I'M
der similar contract he would not
exercise his option (pay in silver)?
If it is right that he should exercise
his option, as he would, we believe
the government has the same right
with their positions reversed.
We are ready to meet you on this
issue-the issue that the money
which is good enough for the people
who produce the wealth is good
enough for the idlers who spend it;
that the money which is good enough
for the poor is cool enough for the
rich; that the money the laborer re-
ceives for his toll and the merchant
for his wares is good enough for the
bondholder, and, by the Eternal. he
shall be compelled to take it.

Roman princes and I know their pre-

dividually anxious to preserve the
priceless art treasures that have been
accumulated by generations of their
ancestors, but their poverty will compel
them to sell them. Other countries
richer in money will in the end procure
by purchase the treasures of Rome and
rob the city of much of it's attraction.
Possibly there is some consolation in
the thought that Rome's loss will be
some other cfty's gain"

A great opportunity has been lost
by the Pioneer Press and it's echoes
in overlooking the recent employ
ment of about $4,000 men in New
England who had been without en-
ployment all the winter and they and
their families on short rations, in
consequence. Whether this employ
ment is is TO continue is not in any
manner dependent on the Dingley
tariff. but against the necessity that
called for this labor Dingley's state
and all New England needed protec-
ton that human laws are impotent
to provide. All this was the result of
the great storm that swept the New
England coast and states one week
ago. 1t gave employment to $500
men in Boston 20 remove the snow
from the streets in the west end, in
addition to 1000 horses, $50 snow

carts. The damage to the city of

pairs is estimated at 81, 400, 000

The passage of the Teller resolution
by the U. s. Senate, declaring for the
the free coinage of silver will have
the effect of still owering public re-
spect for that branch of Congress. 1t
only emphasizes the idea that too
many of the states are merely rotten
boroughs from which two Senators
come who represent nothing in the
matter of principle. DEBORAH Re.
publican.
This ''rotten borough" talk comes
with poor grace when applied as in
tended to Western states as contra
distinguished from such Eastern
states as New Hampshire, Rhode Is
land and Delaware, and Vermont.
According to the conception of such
criticism based upon population ey-
cry one of the original thirteen states
were "rotten boroughs" and yet they
were clothed with full statehood by
the founders of the republic. The
Senators from these rotten bor-
oughs" of New England measured
by the standard of such logic as the
Republican uses in this squib repre-.
sent no principle but greed.

1t will be observed from the ioreeo.

1t will be observed from the iorego.
ing that most of the Western nurseries
are free from the pest, and in most of
the cases where it has been found are
IN the orchards. Doubtless this has
occurred from infested stock, sold by
agents from more eastern states or
ordered direct from catalogues sent
out by eastern parties whose stock is
infested.
While 1t is not known to exist in
Iowa is may benz some of our orchards
and where parties have received treas
and plants from the East in the last
Few years. 1t will be we'll to examine
such stock, lut do not think that every
inset you find on YOUR trees is the
"San Jose Scale" You will probably
find many. but the most of which are
single brooded and may be easily con
trolled.
Prof. Osborne says: "While the
San Jose scale is distinguished from
other scale insects with great difficulty,
there are certain characters which
can he seen with the naked eye, or a
common hand lens, which will enable
one to determine whether any par.
tlcular infection is likely to lie of this
species or some of the common, widely
distributed form. rhe San Jose scale
is near!y circular, rather flattened, land
possesses small nipple like psoml-
nence very near tue center. 1t is not
more than one.six,eenth inch in di.
ameter, and scales newly formed will
be much smaller. On the other hand,
the common oyster shell bark. louise
and the scrufy scale are more elonsat.
ed and have no central elevation.
Such scales may be disregarded, but
Ill any case where scales approach the
appearance of the San Jose scale, as
shown i'll the accompanying hgres, the
only safe way is to submit specimens
to competant entomologist FOR deter.
mination. Specimens sent for deter.
mination had best be first soaked in
kerosene to make sure that no living
individual can escape, and with this
precautlon they may be simply rolled
i'll paper and inclosed in a envelope"
He speaks of treatment which we
will here omit. 1.-The mos. essential
point at present is to prevent the IN.
PRODUCTION on nursery stock from in.
tested localities, or, if it has been in.
troduced in that way. to know it at
the earliest moment so as to DESTROY it
before it can spread"

The headline fiend of the st. Paul
Pioneer Press of Saturday last uses
these head lines over a two column
article, not single one of the state
ments made having particle of cor
rectness.
Failures grow less, very low rate
of business notwithstanding last
month the failures throughout the
country were smaller than in Janu-
cry of any previous year of which
there is record--Surprising gain is
shown in most departments of manu-
facture and trade-Iron industry in
good shape"
The statement of the smaller
amount of failures than in any Japu-
airy of which there is record being
untrue should have been stricken out
by the responsible editor, Mr.. Whee-
lock, because to him it's untruth must
have been apparent. A record kept
and which is accessible to the Pioneer
Press, shows the business failures per
year, when the country had an album
dant supply of legal tender paper
money, though not dollar of either
gold or silver was in circulation, to
have been less in each twelve months,
than the bushes failures of January
1893, and but about twice as many
for any of those years, as for the last
week in January 1898.

OUR CANDIDATE IN 1900
That Pension Howl.

The Times says 'the present raid
upon the pension list of the nation,
led by Harper's Weekly and its demo
cratic colleagues throughout the
country, seeks to convey the impress
sion that the pension list is honey
coined with fraud" Harper's Weekly
is one of the leading republican pa
pers of the country, the New York
Sun following its cours e upon til e sub
ject is likewise a republican paper.
Instead of a political attack as the
Times seems to think, it looks more
like a financial question. The failure
of the Dingley bill as a revenue pro-
Queer inspires the attack upon the
pension list as also through the Loud
bill upon the newspaper press of the
country. More millions than the en-
tire pensions, more millions than the
deficiency of the Dingley bill COM
bined, are cheerfully squandered oa
the corporations and the mail service
without one word of protest from Mr..
Loud or his political associates. In
this connection to show how it is
done were it not confidential we
should like to publish letter TO the
Editor from our Congressman.

During the first % days of December
$3, 100000 in national bank notes were
retired, the limit allowable in any
one month, else the amount would
have been much larger. The reason
given is that interest is so low. by
reason of the superabundance of
money" This indicates how much
bankers know about the science OF
money. Money is now so scarce that
the profits of business will not
warrant paying any but very small
interest; and the more money now re-
tired the lower will go rates of in
terest to business men.

Beware
OF the Knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfe1d, Mo-,
writes: "For six years have been .
sufferer from scrofulous affection Of
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, D. c.,
Springfield, ILL.,, and st. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After six
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to a re.
moval of the gland. At this critical mo-
ment friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside deep-rooted preju-
dice against all patent medicines, I be,
gan its use. Before I had used one bot
tie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had only used your SIS. long ago.
I would have escaped years of misery
and saved over $1so."
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. SIS. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root Of
the disease and forces 1t out perma-
nently.
