MAYOR-ELECT TO SPEAK
MIR. Jones Will Give Address at Fire
mems Fund Benefit.

Tonight Mayor elect D. P. Jones will
deliver an address between acts at the
Metropolitan operahouse. The address
will be a part Of the program Of the
benefit for the fire department.. The

Last evening Mayor Haynes deliv-
cred what is likely to be his last ad-
dress in public in an official capacity,
in which he Endorsed heartily the .ef-
a fund that will afford pensions for
children. He believed further that the
city should do more than it has and
that in revision Of the city charter a
fund should be provided, as is done by
large cities generally, for the pension
ing of retired and disabled members
of both fire and police departments, and
of their families. He had heard that
the foreign insurance companies were
seeking thru congress to prevent the
that imposes a tax upon their policies
for the benefit Of fire department. relief
funds. While he doubted that such
interference = by congress would be
found permissible, he considered this
circumstance important as showing
that the agitation for increasing and
safeguarding the relief fund is timely
as the fund depended chiefly upon this
tax at present. H. -. =. {. ~

We hope never to be guilty Of
having issued from this office a gen.
eral or popular Bulletin that fails to
call attention to the two great
necessities of all fruit growers in
this State, viz: The Protection of
our native birds and the suppression
of the San Jose Scale.
The word "San Jose" is
derived from the Spanish language,
aud consequently Is not pronounced
as spelled in English The ~" has
the sound Of "h" and the "e''
should be given the sound Of our
long "a" as in fate" Thus the
word is pronounced "san" (rhym-
ing with "pan'D "Ho zay," accent
on the second syllable.
A friend writes us that
he finds the San Jose Scale and the
Oyster Shell Scale carried on the
orange fruit. This can often be
seen, as we'll as upon apples and
other fruits, but as we published in
November, the San Jose is not dis
seminated in this manner, as it will
not multiply from ripe fruits. When
seen upon fruits It Is dead or abso-
lutely as innocuous as dead, as il
mulnplies only by giving birth to
living young, and it does not do this
until after it commences to feed
again. While it may fix and feed

presidentla Panama Mesaage

The presidents Panama message
TO congress has removed every doubt
entertained by the most skepbcal as
to the correctness of the attitude of
the administration on this question.
Nevertheless, it is seen that the
democrats in congress will continue
to oppose the canal treaty. Having
gotten themselves into a mudhole
through the false leadership of Sen.
ator German, they are 10th to admit
their position absolutely untenable
and 50 fall back into that quite nat
ural democratic attitude of opposi-
tion. Nor is the country surprised
at this astounding spectacle Of an
tagonism to the interests of the
nation the program is usual.
There is no question, however, Of
the ratification Of the treaty. In
spite of Senator Hoar's talk, he will
vote for it as will every other repub-
lican, and there are not few DEM
ocrats ready at this moment to CO.
operate individually with the repub.
licans on this great question. DIM
ocrats generally in congress as units
ara not bad. It is their party poll
tics and collective action which in
variably embody monumental
asininity and from which many un-
willing individuals would dissent if
not bound by caucus rule. A num-
Der of the Southern senators receiv.
ed explicit local instructions to vote
for the treaty and others are now
hearing pointedly from their con.
stitutents to the effect that the
South wants that treaty ratified
