The fungus may be looked for from
the time of Towering till the fruit is
mature, says Prof. Pammel, of the
Iowa Agricultural College. Much may
be done by removing the diseased
plums from the trees in the autumn.
have made observation on this fungus
for a number of years, and am certain
that it is much more troublesome where
mummied plums remain on the tree.
Some years ago l observed the fungus
upon the flowers. 1t attacked the
petals, stamens and pistil Soon the
whole branch became affected with
this blight. In few days not a single
healthy flower remained on the tree.
1t was also noticed to start from certain
parts of the tree. / soon located the
cause in the old monilia-attacked
pluns which were hanging on the
trees. In quite number of cases the
starting point was thus found to be in
these old diseased plums. The object
lesson is plain-remove all of the dis
eased plums in the fall HOrticulturists
often overlook this important point in
the treatment of diseases. Rubbish
heaps containing the spores of fungi
are too often neglected. They should
be burned.

Anything that may serve TO throw
an unfayorable light on the Mckinley
administration will be suppressed by
the Republican Congress. This has
been proved by the action of the Sen
ate. which rejected by party vote Il
resolution calling for the facts CON
corning the negotiations of the treaty
under which Spain received $20,000.000
for the Philippines.
Mckinley has professed an earnest
desire to turn the Philippine matter
over to Congress. but that body cannot
act intelligently without knowing all
the facts In refusing to call for this
information. the Republican Senate ex-
presses preference to going it blind
rather than to bring to the public
knowledge facts prejudicial to the adj
ministration.
1t is quite evident that in the begin
ming Mckinley was in favor of securing
for the United States simply coaling
and naval station at Manila. What was
it that changed this intention? If the
inquiry as to negotiations preceding the
treaty of Paris could be pressed the an
swer might be found. 1t is alleged that
the hand of England was busy in this
matter. and that Great Britain, for pur-
poses of selfish interest, wanted TO en-
tangle this country in Oriental politics.
Doubtless this charge is susceptible OF
proof. but that proof will not be forth
coming.
Censorship began before Otis made it
odious at Manila. 1t still exists, and
Mckinley, protected by his partisan
Congress. rests contentedly behind the
screen of secrecy and does the bidding
of England careless OF the interests of

Brigham ii. Roberts was excluded from

should be excluded or expelled. by a vote
of 26S to so, thirty-six not voting. just
previous te this vote had been taken

ity of the special committee investigat-
ing the case, declaring that Roberts was
entitled to be sworn in, and that then he
should be expelled. and it had been de-

votes was due to the desire OF those who
changed TO have Roberts disposed of III
some way, and who felt that ii they could
not get rid of him by the constitutional
method they would adopt what Judge DE

The debate preceding the vote was en-

speakers closely.
Cheers and hysterical applause from
the galleries and hearty handclapping on
the floor of the House greeted the final
decision. Roberts was not present TO

THE NEW ENDLESS CHAIN.

The war taxes which the Govern
meat is collecting from the people are
piling up in the treasury many millions
of dollars more than the expenditures.
In order to prevent shortage of cur
rency and consequent stringency and
panic the Treasury Department has
been depositing the money with such
banks as place in the hands of the
Treasurer United States bonds to Sc
cure the safety of the deposits. The
banks pay no interest TO the Govern
ment for the money. but when they
loan 1t to anybody they exact the full
legal rate and as much more as the
state of the money market win permit.
The banks get the interest on the bonds
which they have placed with the Gov
eminent, and they also get the interest
on the money which the Government
deposits with them and which they
loan out
The National City Bank OF New York.
which belongs to the money trust head
I'd by the Rockefellers and is nick
named THE Imperial Bank" is the
principal channel through which this
manipulation of the internal revenue
receipts is carried or. The deposit of
the surplus receipts with the banks
may be necessary as temporary ex-
pedient to avoid the locking up of the
country's currency. Though it is evil
in that it gives unearned profit to mon
ey combinations. it may avoid the
worse evil of disturbance and panic
But granting that excuse to be valid. is
it not the duty of the Government to
lessen the taxes which are drawing
needless millions from the business com
munity and locking them up? Neither
in the Presidents message nor in the
reports of the Cabinet officers is there
any hint to Congress to lower the war
taxes. And so it is intended to continue
system which necessitates that the
Government shall draw many millions
from the people. shall deposit them in
pet banks without interest. and shall
enable the pet banks to loan the money
back to the suffering public ut interest.
There was complaint of an endless
chain which operated on the treasury
gold reserve a short time ago. The in
genious money trust administration has
invented an endless chain which works
at the pockets of the active business
man. He pays his money to the Gov
eminent in high war taxes. and has the
pleasure of borrowing it back again
from some bank upon paying interest
for it. The same iobbers who worked
the endless chain to get gold outeof the
treasury are now working the new end
less chain to get interest out of the
people.-Denyer News.

that the question had been settled by tnc
vote Of the House. He did not know
what form the action would take. but
was of opinion that the State of Utah

Growing Turnins.

At a farmers institute in New
Brunswick one speaker told how he
succeeded in growing 1000 bushels of
turnips per acre. He took a poor piece
of ground in the fall, and after he had
plowed it he put on thirty tons Of
manure to the acre and narrowed it in
He wants no manure plowed in unless
it is to be plowed up again in the
spring, harrow lightly and furrowed
two feet apart about two inches deep.
In the burrows he strewed $50 pounds
of superphosphate to the acre. He
uses two pounds of specially selected
turnip seed to the acre. When they are
two inches high he thins them to IS
inches apart. After this he keeps the
horse cultivator running two or three
times week between the rows. As
he grows them principally as a succu-
lent winter food for his stock, he sows
early, that they may have time TO

Epps of NIipratory wild Birds


1t will surprise many people to know
chat some of the most important migra-
tory birds are now in process Of cxtinc-
ton because of mans cupidity, not in
killing them. but in destroying their
eggs. and thus preventing their exist
ence. All of them breed in the Arctic
regions. where in summer there is the
greatest abundance OF insect and fish
life on which to support themselves.
Man has found these breeding places,
and so long is he can secure fresh eggs
he finds ready sale for them at profit
able prices from photographers, who
use only the aibumen for making the
films on which their pictures are taken.
1t is true If there We're not this supply
photographs might be dearer than they
now are. But If this use of their eggs
means the extinction of many migra-
tory species of birds. such use of them
ought to be prohibited by law.-Ameri-

well will not return till Monday from

lief of the anti-imperialist managers,
from their contact with the sentiment
of the country, that a majority of our
people are opposed to the Presidents

leadership to make them come out and
express themselves. The capitalistic
class are regarded as, in the main, too
far gone in favor of Imperialism to
make any stand against il or TO be any
reliance of the movement against it.
But the reliance is upon the mass of the
people and when the case is put before
them, they are expected to overthrow
the administration. One factor which is
expected to count for much is that of
competition of foreign cheap labor with
the labor of the United States. if inn
perialism wins, as set forth by Bout
well in his speech in Washington. With

will be absolute free trade and free in

New York City is ono of the most god
less places in the world, according to fig
ures made public by Miss Helen T.. CLARK,
director of the Evangelical Band, with
Headquarters in Mott street On Man
haitian Island, she says, there are near
ly $500 people to every Protestant
Church. Only about Z per cent of the
population are members OF Protestant
churches, and that is a loss OF about per
cent since the census of 1890. There
has not been an actual loss in numbers.
but the difference in percentage is due 20
the steady stream Of foreigners, 1000 a
week, who keep rushing in.
Only 80 per cent of the population in
Manhattan had even one parent born
in this country. in Greater New York
there are 100000 persons without any
religious adiiiation ut all. In making this
calculation. says Miss Clark, | exclude
those who have affiliated with any relg
ious body, Protestant, Catholic, Jewish.
Buddhist, or what not. Thus. down IN
our neighborhood there are 10000 ltal
ians, hut the Catholics do not claim to
have more than 5000 Of them in their
churches.
In one former ward in Brooklyn there
is population Of $4,000, and lot sin
gle Protestant church or mission. In our
East Side Hebrew quarter, in a popuia
ton OF more than 100000. only nine
