SILK Worms. In Germany.

Germany is still trying to cultivate silk
worms, according to a report received at
the State Department from Consular
Agent Harris at Eibenstock. The severity
of the climate has made all attempts of
this sort failures in the past. 1t has been
found that the question Of climate was not
SO applicable to the worms themselves as
to the mulberry leaf, and a substitute for
this plant is being looked for. 1t is stated
that in Crefeld In 1900 10000 worms were
fed with black hellebore, with the result
that silk fiber was attained. though great
ly inferior to that produced by worms
fed on the mulberry leaf

A FEATURE Of the Republican
~ platform that will forcihly APP
\ peal to the taxpayers and vot-
crs of Cecil county, is the plank
regarding the management of the county
roads. The Democratic party completely
ignored this all-important question at its
County Convention. whereas the Rrpuh-
Leans on Tuesday gave it special attcn-
ton, demonstrating that they are alive
To the best interests of the public. Good
roads mean general prosperity. From
the amount of money that is annually
expended in Cecil county, it is only rca-
Sonahlc that our public highways should
make Il better showing than they do.
The management of roads in Cecil
county for many years past has been
very lax, there being no definite system
as to their control.
The Republicans now propose to make
roads of Cecil county Il special depart
mcnt of government. and in the plan
outlined in their platform, model some
what after the very excellent system
adopted some years ago in Delaware,
namely, the management of roads by
districts. and their construction and
maintenance by workmcn who are skilled
and competent. \ dollar spent by the
county on the roads should secure one
hundred cents worth in return.

hands of TIE syrdicates, and with
drawn from actual settlement by
the pioneer settler, than by this pro-

SENATOR HEIIFELD is taking
quite an interest in the pardon of
Paul Corcoran, the convict dyna-
miter in the pen at Boise. Senator
DUBOIS also 1avors the pardon of
the Occur d. Alene dynamiter. The
dynamiters represent that there are
5000 votes at stake and Dubois has
become so soured at the Repu oli-
cans that he would stop to 40 alii-
ance that would win a few votes
" nile Heitfeld would grasp at any
old thing to secure reelection to the
senate. The state pardon board
consists of Governor Hunt, Secre-
tary of State Bassett and Attorney
General Martin. Bassett who is a
creature of Senator Dubois favors
pardon; Martin, opposed; and the
Governor is neutral, so the rumor
goes. 1t is said the Governor is
not certain of those 5000 votes.
With characteristic Democratic
logic he figures that they ale all in
