Republicans Prevent Discussion.
Since the adoption of the Reed rules
the Republicans have allowed but
scant time for the discussion of impor-
tant questions. They often bring up a
proposition, rush it through the com
mittee at break-neck speed. adopt a
rule allowing a few hours for debate
and dispose of 1t before the people ut
large know what is going on. When
the Reed rules were adopted they We're
defended on the ground that they We're
intended to cut off filibustering. but
they are now used to prevent the delib-
Grafton necessary to intelligent action.
While the Democrats are powerless
to secure sufficient time for debate so
long as the Republicans are disposed
to deny their request they ought to
register a protest every time an AT
tempt is made to summarily dispose of
important measures. The Democrats
have a right to demand a roll call and
on roll call they can vote no, thus
throwing upon the Republicans respon-
sibility for any unreasonable curtail-
ment of discussion.
The time allowed for debate on the
Philippine tariff was grossly made
quate. and IN view of the time wasted
by adjournments and recesses, the linz
itation was utterly ineXcusable. Other
bills will be pressed involving the vel
fare of the whole country, and the
Democrats ought to see to it that there
is ample time for debate or at least
compel the Republicans to bear the
odium that must ultimately fall upon
those who prevent a thorough discus
sion of public questions. If the Demo
Gratis agree to a rule which allows too
limited a debate, they then share re-
sponsibility with the Republicans;
when they resist the rule they compel
the Republicans to bear the response
bility alone. A resolute and persistent
opposition on the part of the Demo-
cratic minority viii force the Repubi-
cans to give more time to debate than
will be allowed if the Democrats sur
render their contention on the theory
that a contest is useless.
No effort is useless which calls pub
lie attention to vicious measures; no
debate is proftless which informs the
public in regard to those measures

less noticeable among batistes and Swiss
muslins. A novelty in linen batiste IS
embroidered by machine in silk of differ

with Persian stripes in silk, plain satin

These are in linen color, but there are

Value of Liauia Manure.

Every farmer shouiG know the value
of liquid manure. The Pennsylvania
station publishes the result of their
tests, showing that the urine of cat
tie contains half the nitrogen and
of the potash as original
ly contained in the food. Surely this
valuable plant food, which, if returned
to the soil is capable of producing
about half of the original crop, Is worth
saving. Liquids can be saved by
means Of absorbents, straw, leaves, etc.
Many modern barns are now built
with manure cellars under them for

DESTROYING FonI Brood .

At The annual meeting of the Ontario
Beekeepers' Association at Woodstock.
ont. Professor Harrison of the onta-
rio Agricultural College at Guelph, de-
scribed a new and simple method Of
destroying the germs Of foul brood. He
placed comls containing larvae dead
from this disease. capped cells of
brood. ana cells of honey, in a box
which was alright except Tor small
hole az top aud bottom. Then small
alcohol lamp was arranged with the
reservoir NJ the top containing forma-
lin. and connected by a rubber tube
with tse bottom Of the box. This con
veys 20 the box the formaln vapor
produced by the hSat Of the lamp.
when the box is 50 completely filled
with tormallu that the gas issues free
ly from the bole in the top, both holes
are tightly closed for one heur Pro
fes>oc Harrison has been unable to OBJ
tain any signs of life from foul brood

Mr. Hoard's main contention Is that

not progressed. He Is in the rear, and

The Trusts Have Cinched Cuba.

The Trusts Have Cinched Cuba.
1t is stated that shortly after the
Spanish American war agents Of the
sugar and tobacco interests were sent
to Cuba to pave the way for the alb
sorption of these two principal indus
tries Of the island. The sugar beet
men say this acquisition has steadily
progressed and is now so advanced
that the output can be controlled in
case Of a reduction in the tariff on
these two products.
The beet people intimate that it is
part of the plan of the trusts to per-
NIT q falling off in the price of sugar
when the American market is opened
for Cuban sugar. This, they say,
would cause many of the young beet
sugar factories to collapse. AS fast
as they fail it would be the policy of
the trust to buy them. When this buy
ing up had advanced sufficiently to
control the beet sugar output the price
of sugar might be gradually raised.
The beet people say that with con.
JIOl Oh llp output VI DICl SuS'tA nv
trust could fix the price of sugar at
will. and a reduction of the tariff
would in reality mean an addition to
the profits of the trust.
1t is pointed out that it would not
be necessary to own all the sugar land
of Cuba to control the product. The
larger plantations would have to be
acquired, the smaller plantations could
lie controlled through ownership of the
sugar factories, which are practically
the markets for those not rich enough
to own their own machinery. The
trust is said to be in position to take
charge of the warehouses and the COM
mission business at Havana and Mat
auzas, which would give practical con
troll of the output of the island.
The beet sugar men say that the
plans of the tobacco trust to control
thar product are even more complete,
the trust options on the larger planta-
tions being reinforced by control Of
the Havana commission houses. This,
il is asserted, would enable the trust
to fix the price of Havana tobacco
and have the reduction in tariff as a
trust profit.-New York World.

Stated briefly Admiral Schley's appeal
to the President asks that the dissenting
opinion OF Admiral Dewey be approved,
