Jose scale, the most pernlcious enemy
to fruit trees, The progeny of sin
gle female in one season amounts to
over three billion individuals and,
when these scales are once well
spread over an orchard, the only
remedy is to burn the trees. To dis

generally believed as not to need argu-
ment That Commissioner Evans is
right in asking that they be published,
SO that they may be at least relieved of
the dead men who are still drawing
pensions is not denied. That a ma
jority of honest old veterans clamor for
an investigation which shall purge the
national roll of homer of unworthy or
deceased members, is notorious. But
Mr.. Bliss takes the broad ground that
a pension once granted is res adjudi-
cata, and that is the end of it.
Thus, secrecy is to be preserved, and
state of things that the Admins
tration fears to have disclosed will, if
possible, be shielded from the light of
day. The Secretary and his colleagues
hope and believe in their ability to keep
the subject in the dark, at least until
after the next presidential election. So
many Senators and Members are said
to be nervous concerning their own ac-
tivities as pension agents that the Ad-
ministration considers itself we'll re-en-
forced in that quarter. Governmental
confidence, therefore, may not be with
out good foundation

starved Students.

A somewhat startling statement has
| lately been made by President Harper
! concerning the University of Chicago.
He saysthat three deaths from starva-
uon have lately occurred at that insti-
tuition and suggests that this sort of
thing results an moTal- and intellectual
| dyspepsia.
Unquestionably, il does and it ought
to be stopped, if anybody can discover
way, 1t is not TO be supposed how
ever. that this lamentable state of
things is due to mismanagemento of the
university. Those students who pay
their board at the regular college
boarding houses undoubtedly have all
from starvation are among students
who are too poor to pay for board at
the regular rates. but are so deter
mined to get an education that they
viii hire cheap room, with or without
heat, and live, like the young
ravens, on what they can pick
up by the favor of Providence.
The pluck and determination of
these young people is more to
sense But it is not altogether their
fault From time immemoriaI it has
been understood that the student was
an impractical. unworldly sort of per-
son who did not eat much. Traditions
have been handed down of students
who boarded themselves living on
oatmeal and crackers for the sake of
sweet wisdom. There are plenty of
tales of English and Scotch scholars
who lived on almost incredibly small
amounts of food and did huge masses
of work per day on it. These people
are heroic. They are. in a certain
sense. as important to learning the
pioneer and the frontier soldier are to
the building up of a nation. But there
is another side to this topic.
In the old times, when students lived
on those almost uncOnscionably mar
row bills of fare, the course required
at college was short and narrow also.
compared with what il is nov. Some
of the great scholars who were devel-
oped on the slim-diet principle did
not know so very much, after
all. compared with a modern scholar.
They were great mathematicians. or
linguists. or specialists of some kind.
And then as always. genius would
rise superior to all sorts of woes. After
ALL the greatest number OF educated
people was probably drawn from the
class which had enough to eat. There
is false sentiment which has led
many an ambitious young man and
woman astray-the idea that learning
is to be sought at the expense of
health. companionship and everything |
that makes life worth living. The df- |
pIonla becomes = fetich-in these days |

Mr.. RIiss and the Pension List

There was time, and that not long
age. when Cornelius n. Bliss. an emf

far and wide for his devotion to the
cause of good government and his
public opposition to frauds in registra-
tion and other matters Of abuse or cor

evil associations OF machine politics

In the New York Sun of Monday
| there appeared a long article signed

the New York Herald in regard to
Snain and Cuba. and relating some in
| teTesting stories in explanation. Among
other things he quotes from Ell
| HeraIdo. of Madrid, an article which
was printed shortly after the New
York Herald had shown some signs OF
fayoring the cubans by way of variety.
but had changed front again. The
organ of Senior Canaleias on Nove,n-
Der Il, 1897. said:
Several days ago the New York Herald
showed some inclination to return TO its
former policy with regard TO Spain and
the affairs OF Cuba, abandoning t..e cause
of the insurgents, in whose behalf the
Herald has made lately an active cam
paign. We can state now that the change
is beyond doubt and we congratulate the
Spanish people.
THE Herald viii return to the good
policy and never desert it, says Mr..
Bennett In a dispatch we have seen and of
which the government has also notice. Last
Sunday, according to this Commendable
attitude. the Herald published an article
protesting against an aggressive policy on
the part OF the United States toward pain.
Mr.. Bennett also has sent telegraphic
orders TO the special correspondent of the
Herald in Madrid to give all assurances to
the Spanish government of this new atti-
tude of his newspaper. Mr.. Hussey Fife,
the Herald's correspondent, has an ap-
pointed interview tomorrow to that end
with Senor Sagasta
According TO the Sun contributor, on
the day following, that is on Novem-
Der Is, "all the Madrid newspapers
talked about the conference of Mr..
Fife with Senor Sagasta. Senior Mo-
ret, minister for the colonies, was pre-
sent at this interview" Senor Moret,
is said to be ''Hispanicus," whose let
