it frees the plant from all insects, as it con-
tains no arsenic it can he used on any
plant or vine and will not burn or blight
it. 1t keeps the vine green and thrifty
giving the potato a chance to mature,
which means more starchy potato less
liable to rot. Practical tests prove that
the extra yield Of marketable potatoes
more than pays the entire expense. The

CONSTITUTIONAL REFORM.

(Continued from First Page.)
 constitutional convention is one of re-
 spectful insistence that there is a dig
 nified and self-respecting difference of
 opinion between them which is at least
 debatable. It appears to the associa-
 tion that it is not only a proper sub
 jeot for discussion before the legisla-
 tive committee on constitutional amendments, but a necessary subject for legislative action; that a gross wrong will be done cause of nlomentus importance should this responsibility through mistaken judgment be treated without respect for the rights of hon orable controversy.
 It is the conservative and mature judgment of this association that a convention called according to the pro- visions of it's resolution authorizing it, is the only practical means of securing an adequate compilation and revision o' the constitution. Whereas in a great majority of instances, and under ordi- nary circumstances, the amendment process of change is both safe and pru- dent. a situation and condition have arisen where thoroughness of work and comparative quick achievement are de- manded in the interest of good govern ment. These results are impossible un- der the amendment process made so, on the one hand, by the variety of work to be done, incidental to both compila- ton and revision and on the other hand by the substitution of biennial for the annual sessions of the general as- sembly.
 The intimation of his excellency that "there is ability enough and to spare in this assembly" to formulate a new con- stit11tion to be presented as a blanket amendment, to the general compliment of which this association assents, is ac- cepted as proof of the ability of the people to organize constitutional con- yention of equal ability. fitted to dis charge the same duty and with greater dispatch. The situation would be im- proved if the present governor and gen. eral assembly were in position to guarantee the confirmation of their work of compilation and revision by a governor and general assembly elected two years hence. 1t is not pretended that such authority resides in them, while it is vigorously contended that a constitutional convention can guaran- tee the immediate consideration of it's

 Alderman Baldwin, who is a member of the park board said that the land which 1t was proposed to overflow was park property under the control of the common council had no power to act. Finally, however, unanimous consent for the consideration of the resolution was given and it was adopted.

Trouble Americans

After sixteen months service with
the United States army in the Philip
pine Islands Dr. Harry Finkelstone
has returned to the States and is now
the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Levin F.
Nelson. of No S17 Van Buren street
DR.. Finkelstone went from America
in the Spring Of 1899 with the nhird
Cavalry. sailing from Alaska. Upon
arriving in the islands he was assign
ed to General Lawtons brigade. which
had just commenced the movement TO
Northern Luzon. which resulted in
the capitulation of the garrison there
and the occupation OF the province by
the American army on December 1.
1899. A prolonged stay there gave DR..
Finkelstone an opportunity to study
the business inclinations and the men
tai possibilities of the native Filipinos.
These qualifications he declares are
limited. He says the islanders are alb
solutely unfit for self-gOvernment.
There are a few of the natives. how
ever. who having obtained a degree OF
education. believe themselves capable
of self-government. But their degree
of enlightenment is mere supericialty.
Beneath their veneering of American
ism are to be found the craft. cunning
and deceit Of the Malay These char
acteristics are combined with the de-
sire for power and domination over
others. It is these Filipinos Dr. Fin
kelstone says. who hope to obtain
control Of the government with its
vast opportunities for loot
and keep alive the hatred among their
people against Americanism. and
many Of the natives in the provinces
garris0ned by the American army are
satisfied with the practical freedom
they now enjoy ana would lay down
their arms were they not continually
threatened with death as a punish
ment for their submission.
The doctor says the rebellion has
been stamped out. Small bodies of in
surgents who are called from homes
and farms day after day do harass the
American army. but this would not be
the case. the doctor says. If the
American Government would enforce
more strictly the laws of warfare Too
much leniency is shown the natives.
he says. and just as soon as they are
convinced that the insuurection must
end just that soon will the natives lay
down their arms.
While in the islands Dr. FinkelstOne
formed the acquaintance of several
prominent Filipinos who are anxious
for the close Of the war in order that
American ingenuity can improve the
commercial facilities of the islands.
Already ice plants have been built in
many Of the provinces and particu-
larly in those where army hospitals
are. ice being a necessary principal to
the treatment Of typhoid fever On
the way home General James II. Will

Railway company yesterday with the
assistance of 900 hurrfedly hired labor
ers. whose services were required TO
remove the distractions which strike
sympathizers placed on the tracks all
over the county.
Some fears of renewal Of the strike
are entertained as a result of the action
of General Manager Siiliman in dis
charging Dispatcher Charles Powell,
who refused TO run a car during the
strike The car mems executive com
mittee, however feel that their union
is not warranted in actively interfer-
ing between the company and one of
its officials. and the majority Of its
members favor being content with
simply petitioning the company to re-
instate Powell. Some Of the members
are in favor Of demanding his reil-
statement. This matter will be dis
cussed at the meeting of the union next
Sunday.
The company lost $1,000 a day in
fares during the eight days the strike
was on and another $4,000 in its futile
efforts to run cars with imported men
