GIVE THAT EYE A REST.

An Iowa citizen temporarily residing
in Washington called on Leslie Morti-
mer Shaw, the prospective secretary
of the treasury, during the recent Wis,
it of that gentleman to the capital. He
recalled the unusual daily publication
in the Iowa newspaper and that it was
intended to advertise the governors
presidential boom. He was greeted
as an old acquaintance. Governor. >
said he, addressing Mr.. Shaw, isn't it
about time that motto was taken out
of the Des Moines Register The
governor didn't understand. why,
mean that legend that they have been
printing every day for some time.
continued the visitor sit says, Keep
Your Eye on Shaw 1t was all right
while we were talking of nominating
you for President, but, now that you
are to have the custody of 100000,
900 or 100000 of the governments
money, it's about time to take that
sign down. People will think we
haven't confidence in your integrity

No negro is in either chamber OF
Congress. The first colored man elect
ed was J. Willis Menard, of Louisiana,
but he was never allowed to serve.
Revells was admitted to the Senate to
fill the seat made vacant by Jefferson
Davis resignation. Two other ne
groes served in the forty-first Con-
gress-Joseph H. Rainey and Jeffer-
son D. Long. The forty-fourth con-
gress was known as the BLACK Con
gress.'' B. x. Bruce represented
Mississippi in the Senate and seven
men of his race served in the lower
house since then, few colored men
have been elected, but there is none
now in either house of congress, and
there is less prospect of an election OF
colored man to this body than at any
time since the close of the war.

LAcEYs PLAN TO PROTECT MIN
ERS.

Congress has no right to regulate the
coal mines of the states, but it does
control the mines of the territories.
Mr.. Lacey has a deep interest in the
affairs of the territories and during his
session submitted a bill for the protec-
ton of miners, which bill was favora-
bly, reported on and presented to the
house on Jan. 81. Mr.. Lacey urged
the Importance of the proper ventila-
ton of coal mines and offered an
amendment providing that the manag-
ers of mines should employ shot firers
to fire shots therein:
In this amendment MI. Lacey sug-
gests not only relief for territorial mi
ners, but gives the cue to state au-
thorities. 1t is urged by mine cper-
ators ,aat the great majority of acct
dents that happen, are due to the care
lessness of shot firers, who are chosen
out Of the mass of miners to do this
part of the business. Now, if Mr.. La
Gays suggestions are carried out OF
embraced in state law, the shot hrers
will ne chosen by the managers them
selves who will be responsible should
any accidents occur.
This is a plain, common sense meth
oil OF arriving at responsibility ano
avoiding risks from the efforts o.
reckless or incompetent shot firers
Mr.. Lacey does not assume to dictate
to the state authorities what shoult
be their course, but he certainly hal
pointed ut what ought 70 b. done b.
those who are in charge of mines il
the territories.
The Iowa legislature has now tn
matter of safety of miners under cor
sideration it can do no better tina
to adopt the Lacey nlan SO that9th
managers themselves may appoint tn
shot firers, who would necessarily b
experts.
Under a law of this kind Their
would be no difficulty in fixing the II
sponsibility in case of accidents.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the

rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when 1t Is entirely closed deafness is the

Then the history of the state was
opened wide and the newcomer was
told how Grant had called Belknap for
secretary of war, how Hayes had call
ed McCreary for the same portfolio,
how Garfield had called S. J. Kirkwood
to the interior department and Kirk
wood was continued by Arthur until
he quit against Arthur's protest.
Arthur then said he couldn't get
along without an Iowa man in his
cabinet and he made Frank Hatton
postmaster general. If it had not
been for Indiana and Ohio, Harrison
would have had an Iowa man in his
cabinet. Mckinley called James Will
son, whom Roosevelt retains. And now
Roosevelt calls in Leslie Shaw.

LANTANA DESTR0YERS
DISCUSSED BY
PLANTERS OF ISLANDS

The Planters Association and Ha-
waiian Live Stock and Breeders Asso-
citation came together In Joint meeting
In the hall above the Offices Of Castle
& Cooke at o'clock yesterday after
noon for the purpose of hearing the
report Of Prof. r. c. L. Perkins on the
subject Of "Lantana." The report was
as follows:
The following report dealing with
the Importation OF insects and other
enemies Of lantana cannot be consider
ed more than a preliminary sketch OF
the subject. because the work itself
is still far from being finished and
II must of necessity be a considerable
time before the results of what has al
ready been done can be ascertained.
Naturally for much Of the information
contained herein. have drawn upon
the letters written to me by Prof. Koe-
belle, with whom have been in con-
slant correspondence since the begin
ming Of his work In Mexico, and to
whom | have from time to time put
many questions not only on matters OF
Importance concerning the treatment
OF the material forwarded by him and
Its condition on arrival here, but also
on matters Of general interest, such
as the effect OF the insects on the fan
tana In Mexico, the abundance Of the
plant, the nature OF the country where
Il grows best, and SO on.

| | had hoped that In Mexico there
might be some bird which would feed
on the unripe berries and In this way
! get ahead Of the dove and mynah, but
there appears to be none.
1t is quite clear that while the dove
and mynah remain abundant and eat
the lantana seeds freely as they now
do. no destruction OF the plant unless
universal can ever check 1t. Even
though many acres are cleared con.
slant vigilance will be needed to de.

lands and dropped by these birds

Thus In orizaba It is comparatively

fungoid diseases. There It grows

along the partly rocky hillsides and
along well drained roads but Is not nu-
merous, often half a mile without a
single plant. On a very steep rocky
hill 1t was found most numerously, a
plant every fifty yards or SO.
| In the dry district of Morelos. It Is
found in the same scattered manner,
a plant to about 500 yards, growing
| with other trees which are familiar
here, the algaroba and the glue bush
! acacia farnesiana.) In a six mile
walk along a river not a plant was
found, but there other kinds of Lam
tana we're noticed rarely. In quite
open grassland only three or four
Z plants were found, and It was noticed
that 1t was here eaten by the goats.
In the best locality a plant was found
every hundred yards in a half-mile
square, growing three or four feet
high and generally the top nipped on
by cattle.
In some ways unfortunately. the rain
this year in Mexico was unusually late
so that at the beginning OF Mr.. Koe-
bele's work, from June EDWARDS. the
outlook was not very promising. On
the 18th day OF August, after rain had
set In. he writes of Morelos: THE
place has now become very interesting
latter two months absence) and take
more hopes" At the same time the
information gathered as to the best
localities for the lantana and the
knowledge of the habits of some OF
the insects before the best season COM
menced was certainly well worth find
ing out in advance. In September see
ing that Koebele had not acquired an
extensive knowledge of the localities
! for lantana and had seen a good deal
of the insects attacking II, I wrote to
obtain his opinion as to whether 1t
was certainly these that checked the
plant, so far as he could ascertain.
His answer OF October was: Most
positively the various insects keep the
lantana in check In Mexico: no young
plants are met with, II must be ex-
ceedingly rarely that they come up"
! In a letter written October IA. Mr..
Koebele gives me list OF what he con-
sidered the most important insect enc
mics of lantana. This list consists
OF twenty-three different species, to
which may be added Two fungoid
growths which attack the plant. These
however, b. no means constitute the
whole number OF enemies, those which
attack the foliage In general being en-
tirely left out since Mr.. Rochelle con
slders them OF little Importance. On
this one point we are inclined to diff
fer as II seems to me that some OF
these are likely to thrive especially
well here. and few plants can stand
repeated defoliation at certain seasons
OF the year. Nor dyes the list include
those insects which we think will
prove dangerous to the vegetation, nor
even those OF which we are suspicious
and which require experimenting with
before they can be released Some OF
these In reality may eventually prove
; to be of great service.
