BILL FOR WAR REVENUE.
A Republican Measure Which Will
Tax the Rich md Spare
the Poor.

The proposed bill for revenue to de-
fray expenses of the war will be sure
to meet with opposition from the
democrats. Yet ii must excite general
derisiou when the gentlemen who have
posed so long as friends of the poor
man" and foes of the corrupt money
power" are heard rs advocates of rev.
enue from taxes on tea and coffee, and
from increased duties on sugar, all of
which are necessaries of civilized life, in
preference to a great aggregate revenue
derived from stamp duties that will be
payable almost exclusively by the So
called creditor class. He who in dema-
gogic, popuistic and democratic ora
tory is described as 1.-THE poor man." or
zone of the pain, common people, pays
fer his clothes, his house rent, his gro
ceries and for all his necessarjes, com
forts, and luXuries, in spot cash, and
without the intervention of a bank,
and he is free from any burden of the
new revenue bill. But the money
power" which does its trading mainly
by paper, will pay a tax on every check
il draws. The hated "bondholder" also
comes in for his share of the increased
burden of war; brokers and spectators
of all sorts will pay tax on every regis
trution or transfer of stocks and bonds,
and upon every memorandum of agree
ment to buy or sell. All these things are
burdens laid on what Mr.. Bryan calls
"the money power" and they are bur-
dens from which those whom ne calls
"the plain, common people" will be al
most wholly exempt.
The tax of one to five dollars on all
tickets for travel from the United
States to foreign port is one that in
the case of steerage tickets is likely to
be bornc by the steamship companies,
and in the case of first-class passen-
gers will fall on shoulders well able to
bear it. The tax on deeds of conveyance
will fall in almost every instance on the
seller, and it will be rare that the seller
of property valued at $4,000 will suf-
fer real hardship by contributing $2C
to the government.
With hardly an item quotab!e by way
of exception to the rule, the proposed
war revenue lays new and not very
onerous burdens upon strong shoulders
and spares the sinews of the weak.
Nevertheless, democratic opposition
may be expected. 1t will, however, be
more farcical than logcai.-Chicago

agricultural experiment station devoted
to n description of "a fungous disease
Of the San Jose scale: !"
l. 1t has been definitely established
that insects are subject to diseases. 2.
Diseases of insects have been and are
being employed to destroy insect pests.
3. Some diseases of insect pests may be
disseminated artifcially with q profit.
4. This disease of the San Jose scale is
present OH at least three continents and
in many countries. In several instances
it Is recorded as an important factor n
controlling scale insects. 5. 1t is doubt
less native to Florida, as it occurs on q
native scale (Aspidotus obscurus) in our
hammocks. 6. This fungus may be
transferred TO trees affected with San
Jose scale and q disease produced among
the scales. Z. Large quantities of mate
rial may be produced in the laboratory
in a short time and at slight expense. s.
The laboratory grown material may be
applied successfully by fruit growers. ).

BITCHES AND TERRACES.

Arguments In Favor of Fall DitchinE and
Terracing.
As a general rule wells and springs
contain less water i'll November than in
any other month, the heat and dryness
Of the summer months having BY this
time produced their full effect and the
winter rains having not yet fairly set
in to replenish the earth. The excessive
drought of the past summer has intensi-
led this drying up Of the deeper soil and
the conditions are now most favorable
for locating the springs which render
land too wet. according to as high author
ity as The Southern Cultivator, which
furnishes the following timely sugges-
tions: bitches can now be laid off to
tap these springs, and as it is a compar-
ntively leisure time on the farm it is
we'll to dig them also.
Land which has been water sogged
reeds time for air to penetrate it and
produce those changes in it which favor
the growth of cultivated plants. Hence
fall ditching is preferable to spring
ditching. though in most instances
ditching is put off until spring. Where
sufficient fall can be had, these drain
bitches should be at least three feet
deep. II to be converted into blind
bitches. 1t is well to let them remain as
open bitches until spring and then CON-
plete the work. If left open, their bot
toms will naturally grade themselves
under the action of running water, and
a regular grade is very important in a
blind ditch.
In addition to the foregoing the au-
thority quoted also drops these hints
concerning terracing:
The present is o convenient season for
~terracing land. Terraclng is now so
widely practiced and SO universally adj
mitted as the best means Of preventing
the washing away Of the soil on rolling
land that no argument is needed to en-
force its adoption. Success depends upon
running the lines of terrace absolutely
on a level. Nothing should induce II
to vary from this rule except in crossing
II gully or very narrow ~ravine, when a
very strong dam should be built, with
its upper surface on a level with land
on each side of it. AS a terrace border
Of freshly plowed earth is liable to be
washed away by heavy rains it is well
to SOW these borders as soon as. they are
made with grass or small grain to
strengthen them. A border once proper
ly established should never be disturbed
again, except to raise it higher by throw
ing additional dirt upon it as the land
above it gradually fills in and rises.

Representative Shafroth, of Col orado, does not believe that the two wings of the republican party in the west can be reunited until the monetary question is settled. Western republicans are truer to the interests of silver coinage than are the adherents of the other DO. litical parties and will never give up until victory for the white metal is achieved. If the republicans would win victory next fall and in 1900 they must do something for silver before the adjournment ol the present congress.
