Current Comment.


from the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Inc extravagance Of the congress which
mas Just closed Is far beyond the record.
Administration Journals defend this on
the ground that the country Is growing,
and that the federal expenses grow with
II. rms Is a radically false proposition.
The federal establishment is growing out
or all proportion to the growth of the
country. There Is Il constant establish
ment of new and useless offices and COM
missions. an annual robbery of vast di-
mansions In public buildings. an unnatu-
raj growth and encoura cement of the fed
eral judiciary and a tendency in federal
taxation to promote private interests
rather than keep sufficient funds in the
public treasury

Administration War on Reed.

from the Indianapolis Sentinel.
There is a strong movement on foot
among republicans to change the rules
of the national house Of representatives
and deprive the speaker of the arbitrary
power which has been exercised by Mr.
Reed. There is no question as to where
this movement originates. It comes from
the administration, which Mr.. Reed has
deliberately thwarted on several occa-
sions and which he has most grevously
offended by his refusal to recognize as
members of the house gentlemen who
hold commissions from the president.

ton of breaking away from the old

seriously complicate Canadian politics,

emily much stronger in proportion TO

Strength in a Mixture of Races.

From the New York Times.
The real American, no. the average, but
the typical American. is the complex and
combined resultant Of the many races
that nave come to this continent for the
last four centuries. His mother land"
is the world. 1t is precisely this fact that
has made possible the unexampled
achievements of the past, and it enables
US to look to the future with sober. but
confident. courage. The energy, indie
pendence and aspirations Of the strongest
in each of the nationalities that make up
the American nationality belong to it by
inheritance and development.

dissolution will be the wisest act of it's
existence. 1t has done a good many
foolish things. The Cuban people alone
and not all of them-haye taken the
assembly seriously. 1t exaggerated its
powers and was puerile throughout
The failure of the Cuban assembly does
not necessarily confirm the belief of
many Americans that the Cubans are
inherently unfit for self-government,
but it does go to show that that "stab
government may be a long way off.
There is every reason to believe that
many months, perhaps years, must
elapse before Cuba will be in a condi-
ton to organize a government fit to deal
out justice and enforce law and order.
The traits of character needed for such
work have been trampled upon by
years and years of Spanish cruelty and
misrule and 1T will take time to educate
the Cubans to right conceptions of a

Against the Grocer.

Justice John had quite a number OF
cases To engage his attention yesterday

and disorders.
The continued case Of Mr.. J. ". Han
cock a grocer. charged with blocking
the street and refusing to move when
instructed 10 do so by an officer Mas
heard. The case had been called some
weeks ago, but was continued to get Wit
nesses. Mr.. Hancock had added interest
10 the case by preferring charges against
Oncer Clarkson OF overstepping his duty
and handling him roughly. The folice

street. and that he refused TO move when

only knew how TO properly care for their
trees. In Virginia. said Mr.. Koner,
spraying a tree was a thing almost uIs
known. And yet, in other States, not
nearly so well adapted TO apple-growlnS
az virginia. this method OF preventing
disease In trees was the rule, and the
man who didn't avail himself of 1t was
an exception; whereas, in Virginia, the
reverse was the case.
The Departments Of Agriculture IN
those States, by means of farmers inst-
tutes and bulletins instructed the grow
er i'm the process Of spraying so mat ne
secured the best results. liberal ap-
preparation TO the Virginia Department
OF Agriculture would enable it to give
similar instruction to the fruit-growers
here. and the amount would be many
times returned to the farmers in the IN
creased value of their orchards. The
fruit would then be more salable and
command much better prices. As 1t was
now. the Commissioner said he did not
think that one farmer in fifty sprayed
the trees i'm his orchard. and the result
was 30 or 40 per cent. of the apples were
scarcely fit to be placed on the market
and II they were offered for sale the
prower received little or nothing for
them.
Mr.. Koiner is an advocate Of the farm-
ers keeping more livestock, and has been
distributing a new grass seed which has
been tested in the Western States, with
the finest results. The third supply of
this grass seed arrived yesterday and
those who apply for it will be promptly
provided with lot.

companions. They went to the James
River Division of the Chesapeake and
ohio tracks In search of some apples.

there, but the boys declared they were
further up the track He refused to go
any further from home. but the other
boys continued their search. He noticed
some corn scattered about on the floor
of a bOx-car near him. He thought OF his
chickens and went into the car for the
corn. While he was thus engaged an
engine, in shifting, struck the car and the
far closed the door. which was furnished
with an automatic latch. and Jones found
himself locked in. He endeavored to get
out. but could not. He called. but no
one heard him, and ne was very much
frightened. In short while the car was
taken up by the train and carried west
ward. When the car was opened, at 3
O'Clock Tuesday morning, he found him
self at Gladstone.

him what he was doing there, and he
told his story. He was allowed to 60
but no one offered TO help him get back
home. He boarded the first freight home
ward and came as far as Sabot. From
there he came by another train to Lor-
raine. The operator at this station gave
him something TO eat. and he caught an
other train which landed him in Rich
mond yesterday morning. He was very
hungry. having had little to eat since he
left Richmond.
His mother. Mrs Mary Jones, is over
joyed to get her boy back. The boy says
he will let box-cars with automatic fast
enings alone after this.
