HAS HE EARNED THE REWARD.

The somewhat sensational statement
is attributed to Mr.. X. w. Marston,
boil weevil commissioner for the state
weevil is rather commonplace foe
to cotton that can be got rid of with
almost no trouble and at little cost.
He has been in Texas for some weeks
investigating the weevil, In Austin a
day or two ago. according to a special
dispatch sent out from that city to the
Philadelphia Ledger. he announced
that he had found that all the weevils
can be quickly killed by sprlnkling the
plants with Paris green. Here is, III
part, what he is reported as saying:
Under my plan any negro can make
a buster in five minutes out Of a hoe
handle and piece of towel at cost
of cents, and If every cotton grower
in Texas will turn out they can poison
the entire Texas crop in two hours,
at a cost of not over 10 cents per
acre. l have poisoned my entire crop
of cotton, 1000 acres. in two hours re-
peatedly, and have poisoned caterpil-
lars and boil weevil in my cotton" If
this is correct, and it is sincerely to
be hoped it will prove so, then Mr..
Marston has a great joke on the Unit
ed State Department of Agriculture,
in addition to which he may claim the
handsome rewards offered by the states
of Texas and Louisiana for solution
Of the boil weevil problem. The De-
partment Of Agriculture. it will be re-
menbered. has said that there is no
known method of dealing effectively
with the bug. and that It will prob
ably spread over all of the cot
ton belt. Mr.. Marston's announce
ment will be received with much in
terest, though it is to be hoped the
department will not drop its investiga-
tions because of it, Mr.. Marston may
be wrong.

Couldn't Fool Williams.

A well-known citizen of convivial
habits recently emerged from condi-
ton of prolonged indulgence with a
black eye. He was still wearing this
souvenir of his halcyon period when
he encountered John Sharp Williams,
whom he knew very well.
Where did you get that black eye? 2
inquired Mr.. Williams, after greetings
had been exchanged.
The convivial one had already an
swered that question several hundred
times, and his answer rolled trippingly
from his tongue. o..
why" he said, Il was walking into
the postoffice with my arms full OF
parcels, bundles, letters, postal cards
and one thing or another, and l had
just arrived at the revolving door
when one of the parcels slipped from
my overloaded arms and fell upon the
floor. I stopped to pick it up, still
holding the other bundles in my arms
AS l did so, the door revolved and
struck me in the eye, thus creating the
Disagreement which you have no.
ticed."
Mr.. Williams listened to this expla-
nation with gravity.
But why didn't you hit the man
back?' he inquired.
The Savannah morning news., 1904-04-20

| Mr.. Bryan is making a great mistake
! in insisting that the Kansas City plat
form shall be reafirmed by the st.
Louis Convention. If there is de-
mand for the reafirmation of that
| platform the fact doesn't appear in
any of the leading newspapers of the
| country. Nobody except Mr. Bryan
| is making such a demand, though it is
| probable there are Democrats who
| think it ought to be reaffirmed. If,
| however. Mr.. Bryan should let the mat
| ter drop, it is pretty certain that about
everybody else would, so little interest
is taken in it.
Mr. Bryan's purpose seems to be to
| make those who didn't give him a
hearty support in 1886 and 1900, because
of the platform on which he stood, ac-
cept that platform now The spirit
by which he is animated isn't COM
mendable and it is causing his friends
to drop away from him.
One of his best friends in Nebraska
is r. L. Metcalf, editor of the Omaha
World. He is quoted as saying
in an interview last Sunday that
there is powerful organization OF
Democrats in Nebraska that proposes
to capture the Democratic State Con-
venton and prevent it from reaffirm-
ting the Kansas City platform. If they
should succeed in their purpose Mr..
Bryan wouldn't dare to try to have
that MA nv he
Louis Convention. Indeed, he might
not care to be a delegate to that con-
Vention.
The fact that Democrats of his own
state are organizing to put stop to
his reaffirmatiOn programme ought to
convince him beyond a doubt that he
is no longer in touch with the great ma
jority of his party, and that what he
is doing is calculated to lessen the
chances of his party for winning the
presidential election.
There is, of course, in some of the
hopelessly Republican states like Kan
sas a sentiment in favor of reaffirming
the Kansas City platform, but there is
little or none of it in states which are
depended upon to give Democratic ma
jorities.
The movement in Nebraska against
Mr.. Bryan is not surprising. Leading
Democrats in that state have thought
it folly for a long time to cling to a
dead issue like that of silver. While
they have nothing against Mr.. Bryan
personally they have no further use for
him as a leader of the party. 1t is
not their intention, if they have the
power, to prevent him from being a
delegate to the ST. Louis Convention.
but he might not want to be a dele
gate if his party in his own state
should put the stamp of it's disap-
prevail upon his Kansas City platform
programme. ~

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Indianapolis Sentinel (Dem)
says: 1.-THE administration has given
US some pyrotechnics to blind us, but
1t has not put a single trust out of
existence or benefited a single victim
of these giant criminals"
The New York World (Dem.) says:
THE decline and fall of Congress may
be explained in a single word-'com-
merctalism.' There used to be public
interest in congressional debates. The
beginning of the decadence may be
pretty accurately dated from the time,
in the eighties, when the Republican
party ceased to be party of moral
ideas, with tolerance for divergent
views on the tariff, and became the
undisputed property of the protected
interests"
The Springfield Republican Qnd.)
says: Mr.. Carnegie's hero fund of
$4,000, 900 does credit to his humani-
tartan sentiments, but 1t is so near the
border line of the bizarre in philan-
thropy that people will begin to think
that possibly Mr.. Carnegie is uncon-
sciously seeking novelties in his bene-
factions. The hero fund is doubtless
very fine, provided that there Is no
more urgent demand for benevolence
elsewhere In the world. 1t is interest
ing. however, to watch Mr.. Carnegie's
progress In the giving of money. Sur
prises certainly come from him. and.
in view of this latest act. people will
observe with an increasing curiosity
where the next $5,OOO.OOO VIII land"

Getting Back at whistler.

The late James Mcneil Whistler had
a French poodle of which he was ex-
traUagantly fond, says Golfers Week
ly. This poodle was seized with an
affection of the throat. and Whistler
had the audacity to send for the great
throat specialist, Mackenzie.
Sir Morell, when he saw that he had
been called in to treat a dog, didn't
like it much. it was plain. But he
said nothing. He prescribed, pocket
ed big fee, and drove away.
The next day he sent post haste for
Whistler. And Whistler, thinking he
was summoned ON some matter con-
nected with his beloved dog, dropped
his work and rushed like the wind TO
Mackenzie's.
On his arrival, Sir Morell said grave
ly: How do you do, Mr.. Whistler ?
1 wanted to sea you about having my
front door painted"

NEED FOR ECONOMY.

The people must be aware, if they
are paying any attention to the mat
ter, that the expenditures of the gov
eminent are passing all bounds. 1t
hasn't been so very long since we
had what was called the bilIion-dollar
Congress, a Congress which appropri-
ated during it's two sessions more than
a billion dollars. This Congress at its
present session will appropriate more
than $1,000 900, and that. too, with
out giving the country a rivers and
harbors bill and without making any
appropriations for public buildings. OF
course, these things will be attended
to at the next session when the Re-
publicans will not make an effort to
keep down appropriations, since the
presidential campaign will be out of
the way 1t is the very general belief
among we'll informed congressman
that the appropriations next session
will go much beyond $1,000. 100000. 1t
wouldn't be surprising if the expendi-'
lures soon exceeded the revenues. This
government borrowing money in time
of peace and great prosperity, would
be a spectacle that would attract at
tention the world over.
There is no good reason why the
cost of supporting the government
should be as great as it is. The truth
is, as long as there is money in the
treasury the Republicans will spend
it, even If they have to waste it. In
stead of taking from the people only
as much as is absolutely necessary
they refuse to make any reductions
in the revenue taxes and spend law
ishly all they can get. Indeed, they
are afraid of having surplus. They
know a surplus would awaken de-
sire for the reduction of the tariff.
The Democratic party ought to get
out a campaign document showing
Just how much more the government
costs under Roosevelt than 1t cost un-
der Cleveland. 1t is a safe statement
that the cost is at least third more.
A change in the political complex
ion of the administration is badly
needed. The Republicans have been
in power so long that they think they
own the government and have right
to spend the public money as they
please. 1t is certain that if the Demo-
Gratis were given control they would at
once reduce the expenditure many mil
lions of dollars a year, and that. too,
without Gripping the public service in
the least.

The Mayor and business men who
are struggling to raise a new. bigger
and better Baltimore upon the ruins
of the burned district there are being
hampered by a number of old fogies
and .mossbacks who can see no good in
any of the improvements suggested.
We fear that Baltimore, like some
other cities that might be named, is
in need of a few first-class funerals.
But the old fogy1 and the mossback
are usually not progressive enough to
die and get out of the way.
