Hexagona1 Folding Fumigator.

For spraying to kill San Jose scale
on Long Island a new form of fumiga-
tor has been devised which possesses
some advantages over all other forms.
This is hexagonal in form, with sides
hinged to allow of folding into compact
form for transportation and storage
and with removable top. In operation
the box is held rigid by the top and by
braces at the bottom. Two sides and
part of the top swing back easily to al
low of placing the fumigator about the
tree to be treated. The hexagonal form
avoids waste space about the tree.

AVOIDING THE ROCKS.

Everyone who Is interested in seeing
the best conditions brought about in the
Philippines cannot but view with graf
ification the progress which has been
made between Civil Governor Taft of
those islands and the Papal See, in their
negotiations regarding the disposition
of the enormous land holdings of the
Catholic church in that archipelago.
The conferences which have been held
at Rome have been particularly harmon
ious if the best reports from there can
be believed although for a time there
were rumors of dissension.
Owing to the general ignorance which
prevails regarding the Philippines it is
impossible to give any definite figures
concerning population or even size;
those matters were completely neglected
while Spanish sway existed, and Amer
lean rule is too young to elucidate them.
But it is conservatively calculated that
one-ninth Of the area of the country is
under cultivation. The lack of facts
itself is perhaps one OF the factors
which has baffied the negotiations re-
garding the church possessions but, al
though the terms are not published in

cans, it is known that they will
be satisfactory generally to both parties

monious relations will have been re-

and years. and under such conditions
that they never have been put to their

completed and it is a pleasure to know

SAVE OUR STREETS.

At the last meeting of the city coun-
ell, an ordinance was passed granting
the Vinewood Park Railway company
the right to tear up the asphalt pave
ment on Seventh street, Quincy street
and Fifth avenue. and replace the same
with brick along the right of way
granted to it on those streets.
This is in no wise different from the
treatment accorded the city railway but
that does not make it right. 1t outrages
the city and the property holders on
the streets affected. 1t was question:
able action from legal standpoint, but
an unquestionable catastrophe to the
public
The original franchise ordinance of
the company provided that the COM
pany should pave it's right of way with
the same material used on the streets
over which it passed. When the oft-
Gals of the company had time to study
over their hastily railroaded franchise.
they found that it would cost consider
ably more to put back the asphalt than
it would to repave with brick So after
long consultation of legal authority.
they decided that they would take the
risk OF amending their franchise by the
passage of a separate ordinance, and

the concession desired, and sealed its
consent to the ravage of several Of the
finest asphalt streets in town.
1t is no excuse to argue that the old
city railway was allowed to pave its
right of way on asphalt streets with
sandstone blocks and that it would not
be right to force the new street railway
line to do otherwise. If it were possible.
the city council should compel every
street car line in town to pave its right
of way with asphalt, on streets where
that material is used. Unfortunately,
the lawyers say that this system OF
amending franchise ordinances by
means of a separate ordinance does not
work both ways. The council can leg
islate away its rights, but it can not
legislate them back again.
The paving of Quincy street caused a
number of property holders on that
street to become bankrupt. It crippled
many others financially SO severely that
they are just getting on their feet again.
It was a costly piece of work. Now
comes this railroad. and without regard
for the rights of the people who paid
for the asphalt pavement, propose to
tear it up and not only lay a car track
down the street, but replace the asphalt
with brick. Why does not the council
prevent such havoc?

Our trade balance for the last Il
months-excess of exports over imports
was only $4,000, 600, against 1854 0oO,-
600 the year previous, proving, contrary
to popular opinion, says Henry Clews,
that national prosperity is not incom-
patible with a declining trade balance
This year, however, we are likely to
see the current turn again in the other
direction. as large corn crop will pre-
vent the deficiencies shown last year
and bring our exports back to their
former level. This is of great impor-
lance in the foreign exchange market
and will do much towards axerting any
monetary stringency in this market
during the fall and winter months In
all probability we will experience firrner
rates for money before long. Crop and
business demands will soon set in, and
bank reserves are low both here and at
the west. Fortunately, Europe is able
and willing to loan freely in this mar
ket. the amount of foreign money en-
ployed here in loans being unusually
large; and our bankers are depending
upon the good harvests to pay back
these loans-another instance of the
special bearing this year of the crop sit

HORSES Amp Auronos11rs.

While the automobile may never en-
tirely supplant the horse still there IL
abundant evidence that 1t has come to
stay Already the eastern papers are
gravely discussing problems arising
from the use OF horseless carriages and
how they may best be removed. The
following is from an editorial In the
New York Journal:
The movement of the auton obile clubs
throughout the country to educate the
horses of the communities through
which they travel to be accustomed to
tie new vehicles win do much to solve
the problem.
Contrary to the view OF some Of thu
drivers, every man who rides in q mo-
tor car Is not an enemy of mankind
or horsekind. either. In fact, most OF
them drive as much as they use their
new vehicles. The auton obile Is now q
feature of the roads, and there is no
way it can be kept of them, nor any
real reason why anybody should make
the effort.
1t will not be long before horses are
as accustomed to automobiles as they
are to bicycles, which once were as ter
rifying to them as the most exagger-
ated type Of motor carriage il now.
The automobile outlaw who sends his
machine along travelled roads at tor
speed, regardless OF the rights or safety
of other travellers. must be dealt with
of course. but he is really not so num-
erous. and nobody desires his suppress
sion more than do the men who obey
the laws in their motor carriages, a.
they do elsewhere.
AS vehicle for getting from one
place to another, on business or pleas
ure, the automobile has its place on tbs
highway as well as the family carriage
or the farm wagon; as a racing ma
chine there is no place for it excep
speedway. and when the distinction
is fairly understood there will be M
more automobile question.

TRIBUTE TO MAcKAY oENIUs.

The death of a rich man does not
often cause widespread sorrow but that
of John w. Mackay this week was an
exception. The following tribute APP
peared in the Salt Lake Tribune:
Plenty of men are rich; of them all
we know not one such man as was Mr..
Mackay. In face and bearing, in hand
and foot. he was imperial as Caesar.
but in his life and his mingling among
men there was not one imperious look
or word or gesture unless some base
nature expressed a doubt of his integ-
rity and he heard of it. If every graz
cious act of his life could be converted
into a flower they would garland his
bier with glory never seen around
death couch before; if his impulses
could take material form they would
fall in benedictionss on every poor mans
home; they would steady the hands of
every high officer of our government,
for love of his adopted country and
solicitude for its welfare with him were
grand passions.
The newspapers will give long ac-
counts of his career and of the work he
performed, but none of them will give
any clear idea of him as he was; of
the alert brain, the great heart, of the
superb character that he bore, of the
courage that never faltered, that no
misfortune could daunt, of soul SO
self-sustained and high that there was
never room in it for dependency or one
trace of false pride.
He started out with a belief in the
omnipotence of honest labor he believed
that it was capital enough for any
healthy man in this country. He was
favored above his fellows, but to the
last he chung to old faith and worked on
and on When last seen by the writer
of this, last January, he was planning
the laying of "a cable across the Pa
cific. and with his old quiet confidence
he gently said: '"I have had some ex-
perience in ocean cabling and believe
can do the work better than the gov
eminent can, and with better material
than the government will be liable to
USE"
Intense and strong as he was, after
all his highest attribute was his affec-
ton for those he loved. The accidental
death of his eldest son a few years
ago well-nigh broke his heart. He has
never been quite the same since His
cards like his heart have been fringed
with black ever since. He was Il years
of age but only little while ago he
seemed perfectly well, said he was well
and surely was nursing hopes that were
altogether high. He looked good for
vet a score of years. and the news of
his death is a mighty shock. But his
fame was bounded full. If summoned
to final account he can with clear eyes
say: 'I began on earth with nothing 1
accumulated many millions, but I dealt
with it as a trust to be accounted for
and in the gaining of it I kept my hands
clear; look at them in this clearer light
and see If they carry one STAIN"

Every honest man believes he is right
and that is why he doesn't agree with
the other fellow who holds different
views. They sometimes decide to act
together but that doesn't make both of
them right or both wrong in their opin-
ions. The only true conversion comes
from a change of heart. This is true
in politics as well as in religion.
