Necessity for Trim ming Trees.

"One of the largest items in the list of
annual expenditures is that of trimming
trees, and of necessity, in justice to the
trees, 1t must continue to increase. There
are thousands of trees the streets, and
particularly those planted near the curb
ing, that have attained stage in their
development and environment that necessi-
tates trimming, and in very many cases
severe trimming, if they are to be pre-
served Trees planted at the curbing of
modern street are existing under conditions
far less favorable for their welfare than
similar trees planted in an open field.
surrounded as they are in very many
instance, before the numerous cement side
pavement, they naturally often suffer from
lack of a sufficient supply of moisture at
their roots. The roots cannot maintain a
growth previously made during the exist
ence' of conditions more favorable (as, for
instance before the numerous cement side
walks were laid), and large limbs die back
toward the trunk and present an ugly and
neglected appearance. The only remedy Is
judicious trimming, and the entire amount
of annual appropriation would no. be
sufficient to complete the work Of this
character that needs to be done through
out the city.

DISTRICT TREE PLANTING
REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT
OF PARKING.
More Work Done Last Year Than I'm
Any Previous Season In
Fifteen Years.

The report of Freeman Lanham, the SUI
perintendent of parking, showing the work
done under the supervision of his office for
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1901, was
submitted to the Commissioners this morn
ing In the course of his remarks he safd
"A total of 3, l25 trees were planted on
the public streets Of the District, being 96s
more than were planted during the pre-
vious fiscal year, end more than have been
planted in one season in the last fifteen
years. These consisted of 9S3 sycamores,
SG3 soft naples, 491 Norway naples, 2oS
sugar naples, 22S American lindens, 122
American elms, So salisburias, 75 pin oaks,
Il willow oaks and 8 tulip trees.
'Of this number 2.767 were planted at
public expense, and in accordance with in
structions received, in filling vacant spaces
in existing lines Of trees previously plant
ed; 35S trees were planted at the cost of
individuals under the permit system, the
trees being furnished by the District and
the expense of preparing the tree boxes,
tree holes and planting Of the trees being
at the cost of applicants The order or
June 80, 1900, requiring all existing gaps
to be filled before attempting to plant new
lines permitted this work to be done In
far more systematic manner than ever be-
fore, and accounts for the increase OF the
number planted.
"A portion of ground, consisting of about
five acres, on Iowa avenue, having been
allotted to the parking commission for use
as a nursery, has been fenced, put under
cultivation and planted with 1000 young
trees. Large seed beds have been prepared
and sown with the seeds of the varieties of
trees considered most desirable for street
culture, and the seedlings are now doing
well.

will carry a crew Of 40 men, each of
whom will receive $35 q month in
wages. That makes 80, 200 q months
Eli, 900 for the five months she will
be in commission. The wages of
Capt. Barr and the first and second
mates will aggregate for those five
months $4,000; the tender will cost
81. 900. Uniforms for the men have
already resulted in an expenditure OF
81. 900. and there is the cost of feed
ing them, to be considered. This
makes $25, 900, and her sails and
spars and overhauling and other par
ticulars viii easily cost another S25.-

1t will thus be seen that, all in all.
$3.50, 900 is a conservative estimate of
the cost of defending the cup this

PLATFORM VIEWS OF SENATOR VEST.
Senator Vest. of Missouri. out
lines the issues upon which the dem
ocratic national campaign of 1904
should be based on as winners that
will command the respectful atten-
ton of the entire party and the special
interest of the Missouri organization.
According to Senator Vests views the
first plank of the democratic plat
form should be a declaration for a
graduated income tax, the second
should voice an unrelenting opposi-
ton to trusts, the third should be a
declaration against Imperialism and
the colonial system And upon these
three issues as the most important to
the people of this country the demo-
cratic fight should be made. The
Missouri senator does not believe that
the money question will legitimately
figure in the next national campaign.
The rapid and abnormal production
of gold, he believes, has at least tenn
porarily removed free silver as q po-
litical issue.
When Senator Vest makes an utter
ance on the subject of party policy it
represents the honest thought of
man whose democracy has never been
questioned. Vest, as the St. Louis
Republic says, could not be anything
but democrat; his very tempera-
ment forbids. He has been a demo-
crat and q bimetallist all his life.
During the course of public career
extending over more than genera
ton of time his services to the demo-
cratic party have bseu of tremendous
value. Not once in all those years
has he swerved in his allegiance to
democratic principles. Ii such n
thing as authority is born of long and
arduous fighting for the democratic
cause, that authority rests with DEM
ocrat Vest. Soldiers of q few years
service in the party may well defer
to this veterans advice.
1t will be advisable for the demo-
Gratis of the country to thoughtfuny
consider this latest expression from
Senator Vest. A tremendous duty
and responsibility have come upon
the democratic party in this crisis of
the nations history. The response
bility should be accepted and the duty
performed in the truest democratic
spirit

THE COST OF DEFENDISG THE CUE


The exact sum of money paid for
the Colum bia, in 1899, is not kno wn.
but the sum has been estimated at
not less than $3.50. 900. says a writer
in. Frank Leslie's. Without a doubt
it cost over $685. to carry her
through the season; probably the sum
was much greater than this In the
first part of the season her owners
paid SO 600 for three suits of sails.
And then there was the Defender,
which acted as a trial horse to the
Columbia. 1t cost just $50. 200 for
her to be trial horse, but it was
paid witt out groan- And now for
the present season:
1t will have been noticed that the
construction of each cup defender has
cost infinitely more than it's prede-
cessor. The fact is, the Herreshoffs
have charged several thousands OF
dollars for each minute of extra speed.
Following those deductions the Con-
stitution has unquestionably cost not
q cent less than 5000. 600 to build.
She has large tender, the steam boat
Mount Hope, and crew of 6S men.
She has three or four suits of sails.

Outside Of the 5000, 900 spent on her
