The grangers will find that their robin
bill will not Aaze smooth passage
through the Legislature, as the proposition
to slaughter these birds will be strongly
opposed by the Auduboa Society of this
State. Already this society have sent out
circulars protest ng against the passage of
the bill, and the DEMOCRAT must acknow-
ledge to natural inclination toward their
side OF the case. OF all the birds that
come, none are more welcome to us than
the robin. Is may be fact thas our losg
association with him has preiudiced us in
his favor and made us not a competent
judge, but we love robin-red-breast not
withstanding his ravenous appetite for
cherries and berries, and should regret to
see him the target for promiscuous slaugh-
Ter. In another place in this paper we
print the Society's protest in full

VIM. C. Whitney, Secretary of the Navy
under the first Cleveland administration,
and father of our modern American Navy,
died at his home in New York on Tuesday
while under the surgeons knife for appen-
dicitis Ex-President Cleveland paid this
tribute to MI Whitney's character and
attainments.
The news of Mr. Whitney's death has
greatly shocked me- As think of him
my mind, passing beyond recent years,
dwells upon the days of my association
with him in high officia duty and recalls
the time when I had the opportunity 10
enjoy his unreserved intimacy and friendly
companionship Our relations have nevsr
changed, but the exigencies of life have for
hidden recent close intercourse.
Mr. Whitney had more calm. forcefnl
efficiency than any other man ever knew.
In work that interested him he actually
seemed to court difficulties and to find
pleasure and exhiliaration in overcoming
them. His conquest over the obst Giles he
encountered in undertaking to build up
our navy afforded him greater delight than
the contemplation Of the great results be
achieved in his Department Of the Govern
ment. His Judgment was quick, calm and
astonishingly accurate; and, when it was
called into action, his mental p0ise was
so complete that neither passion nor irri-
tation couId lead it astray.
While / remember all this with admira-
ton and affection. recall with more ten
der sentiment Mr. Whitney's devotion to
his friends, his extreme consideration for
all with whom he came in contact, his
thoughtfulness for the ease and comfort OF
others and his ready impulse to help those
who needed help. l mourn the death Of a
friend Of whom it can be trutlfnlly said
that in his character were combined mental
traits of a high order and loving qualities
Of heart that grappled him to his friends
with hooks of steel

Pruning should begin to be consid-
cred in January. according to one Of
the authorities Perhaps it is best to
prune fruit trees in March or April.
but grapes, eurrants and raspberries
can be pruned in January. January
and February are good months in
which to prune peach trees. Thin out
the peach trees well. taking care to re-
move all dead wood. If you have much
pruning to be done in apple. pear or
plum orchards You will do well to util-
lie the warmer days that occur in
winter.

The talk'of the day is the vigorous and
brilliant maiden speech of Senator Stone,
Ex-Governor of Missouri, in denunciation
Of the Presidents conduct concerning the
Panama canal. He said he had justified Sc
cession and rebellion and taken active part
in the dismemberment of sister republic;
and added, l am willing to believe it is due
more to impulsiveness, and to that volcanic
irrepressible love he has for things eruptive,
tragical, lurid, and sensational, than to any
other cause. take no pride in seeing my
country strut before the world like swag-
gering bully on the stage"

Pubic parks, it seems, are not popular
at Woodbury.. The city council has asked
the donor Of large tract of land intended
for nse as park to take back his land, as
the city doesn't want it. The inference to
be taken from this action is that the land is
undesirable for public park OF that
Woodbury's councilmen are very short
sighted. .
The Post Telegram is mistaken. The
donor has asked the city to return the
tract of land he gave several years ago for a
park It wasn't of great value at that
time, but is worth something like fifty
dollars front foot now. It is fair to pre-
sumo if the park tract was just as va u
able now as it was fifteen years ago, its re-
turn would not be sought.

Plotting Soil For AzaIeas.

All the azaleas and rhododendrons
need extremely firm potting and do
best in compost Of peat. with a little
loan and leaf mold, sand being added
in proportion to the lightness Of the
loan used. No manure is needed or is
desirable for these plants. but liquid
manure or SCOT water in thin, clear
state may be given once or twice a
week when they are in growth or
swelling their buds.

The New Jersey Trolley System.
[From the New YORK Times.

II the directors Of the Public Service Cor
poration Of New Jersey, which has absorbed
practically all the trolley lines Of the
northern counties Of that state, imagine
that public dissatisfaction will be appeased
by the enforced resignation of General
Manager Wheatley they are mistaken. So
far as we can learn the fault was not with
General Manager Wheatley. He was a
competent and experienced man and prob
ably did the best he could with the re-
sources at his command His successor
can do no better unless yerv different
policy is adopted by the board of directors.
The recent public confession of President
Thomas N McCarter that the service is
bad in every respect must have been ex-
tremely humiliating for one in his posi-
ton. It was a plea Of guilty to the inn
parchment of himself and associates, and
to sacrifice Mr. Wheatly is as futile as the
act of the mother who, when pursued by
wolves, threw her child out of the sleigh to
stop the pack, Indeed, it is an extremely
dangerous proceeding unless the directors
are prepared to give the new general mana
ger much better cooperation than they
gave the old enc.
As the matter stands, the constituent
companies Of the merger are threatened
with the loss of their franchises for de-
liberate and persistent neglect to perform
the obligations of their respective charters.
Nothing but temporary injunction,
granted on an ex parte motion, retains the
authorities Of one municipality from cut
ting down the poles which carries its wires
In other towns the cancellation OF fran
chise privileges is threatened, A corpora
tion which finds itself in this position
needs much more thorough reorganization
than will result from throwing over its
general manager, whose worst offense is
probably that he has carried out his instrc-
tions too faithfully. 1t has strained the
public patience to the breaking point and
has only itself to blame for the bitterness
of the public condemnation which has been
visited upon it,
