they be forced by the law to protect themselves? Must We believe that the Massachusetts farmers are a lazy lot content to idle away their time while the wild carrot invades the farm? Has farming reached such a low ebb that the law must step in and fine those who do not make war on the weeds? We dis like to think this. but We do not know what other interpretation to put On the proposed wild-carrot legislation. Why not go step further and pass a law compelling farmers under penalty of fine to house their moving machines in winter and their sleds in summer?
 It is to be hoped that the legislature of Massachusetts will not have to pur- sue the wild carrot with frequent and large appropriations, as it has the moths.

3HEGERMaNs IasHAS-TUHG.

Dr. Morrison, the we'll known cores pondent at Pekin of the London Times, usually knows what he is talking about, and therefore it is of some ac- count that he is greatly exercised over the German policy in Shan-tung. He complains that hitherto she has used her influence to preserve monopoly and keep the door shut against all but Germans, Now she is extending her interference to purely domestic affairs. She insists that China shall, before appointing a governor, submit his name to the German legation for ap- proval. When Hu Ting-kan was ap- pointed in october as acting governor, she protested against the appointment because she had not been consulted. Now, in the case of the appointment of Yang Shih-hsiang as acting governor, she repeats the protest. because her approval was not sought. China has replied that these officials were only acting governors, thus allowing, by im- plication, Germany's right in the case of actual governors. Baron Mumrn, the German minister, insisted that be fore proceeding to his post Yang shih- ihsiang must go to Pekin and see him. Yang Shih-hsiang declined, and asked Baron Mumm to go to Tientsin Bar on Mumm promptly refused, where upon Yang shih-hsiang, with charac- teristic Chinese evasion, visited tenn pie near Pekin, where he had a long in terview with Baron Mumm after a luncheon given by a Chinese official.
 Of course it won't do to have Germa- ny have more power and influence in China than England has, and it is not likely that she will have.

ORDER NO. 7s.

The Senate has just disagreed with the President, and the House has just agreed with him. Saturday the House passed the Pension Appropriation bill, carrying $1SS, ,25O1OO. The minority, led by MT. Underwood, made an intellectual effort to reduce the aggregate Of the appropriation so as to exclude pensions allowed under "order No, 7S." which, it was stated, would involve about s4 4,5G0,- 900. It was contended that the order was without authority of law. The minority insisted that the majority should bring in service pension bill. MT. Grosvenor defended the order, and incidentally reviewed the course of the Democratic candidate for the Presiden- cy in the last campaign. MT. Robinson sought to add section to the bill giving a service pension. which amendment MT. Grosvenor characterized as bun combe." MT. Benton, of Missouri, de- clared that the majority had decided against a service pension bill last year because they did not want to add $SS,- GOC,0OO to the appropriation. The bill was passed in the form in which it came from the committee.
 So Order No. 7S is all right so far. It will probably continue to be all right.

MORE TRoUBLE THEBAY STATE

More trouble in good old Massachu- ,setts. A bill has been put before the legislature there to prevent the spread of wild carrots. It provides that every person or corporation owning lands within the Commonwealth shall cut down or otherwise destroy all wild car- rots growing thereon, or growing in the highway adjoining the land, often enough to prevent their going to seed. Any person or corporation who neglects to comply with the requirements of this act shall be fined not more than five dollars, nor less than one dollar for each and every day of neglect.
 If Massachusetts must fight wild car rots as we'll as the brown-tail moth and the gypsy moth she will indeed have her hands full. The action concerning the wild carrot menace moves the calm Springfield Union to these questions: But if wild carrots are such menace to the peace and prosperity of our farmers, why don't they cut them down of their own accord? Why must

TO B ETTER BALTIMORE.

Baltimore feels that she must be up to date, Therefore she is going to have Municipal League. Governor War field, of Maryland, speaking at dinner of the Merchants and Manufacturers Association a few weeks ago, made a strong plea for the entire divorcement of municipal affairs from partisan poli- tics. The proposition was received with enthusiasm by the business men of the city who sat about the tables. They haven't stopped talking about the speech yet, and they have been acting as well as talking. The city newspa- pers have shown publfc-spirited desire to help along the movement. It has gone so far that preliminary steps have been taken to form an organization to be known as the Municipal League, and a committee of five prominent citizens was appointed at a meeting last week to arrange for a big general meeting and to prepare plans for the leagues work.
 It is announced that it is not the in- tention of the league to make nomina- tions. It will simply pass judgment upon the men nominated by the politi- cal parties, and make recommendations to the voters. Records and qualifica- tions of candidates will be investigated, and 1t is hoped that the influence of the league will turn the vote against ul- worthy men.
 Success to BaItimore's Municipal League. New Haven's Citizens League is in good working order. ~

if he could be sure of the identity of the foe of tips and tipping. Well, I guess yes. I had him spotted for fair before ever seen him.
 According to the boys story Tubbs tossed quarter and penny on his tray and bade him bring his cocktail and a morning paper.As he was about to depart on his mission, the boy as- serts, he was halted at the door by Dr. Tubbs. who, after an apprehensive look up and down the corridor, said to him:
 "And boy you may keep the change.
 Did the boy fall in his tracks from heart failure? He did not, but sped down the stirs three steps at a time and stood before the clerks desk.
 t"'W'at did yer get from him?" asked derisiye chorus. ....
 "He give me dime; that wat got,' answered Housky, with triumph in his tones. ..5 ;.,t
 It was long time before his story was believed by his fellows, but when they finally gave it credence the glad tfdings spread through the house, and there was hope. s..... ....... xsa
 When Dr. Tubbs strolled into the dining room for his breakfast he was greeted with sweet smiles from all the waitresses within sight. There was a silent struggle to win him to their re speetive tables. Dr. Tubbs never break lasted nor dined anywhere in all his travels with as much attention from those who served him as he did that morning. His every want was antici- pated. Did he chance to lift his eyes from the immediate business of the moment there were at least three alert waitresses at his side, agree to satisfy his wants. Prince of potentates could not have had more instant attention. When he arose, waitress, busy at other tables, pauser for the moment and i craned their necks. But Dr. Tubbs, with gracious smile of thanks to the waitress at his table, strolled from the room, and beyond that there was noth- ing doing" As he was seen disappear ing through sthe dining room portals the storm broke. ..., .gz5 .e @
 "'The mean, hateful thing said the waitress who had hoped most ardently. T don't believe he would tip his hat to a lady" fsa ss, 3EaH
 "He'' sputtered another. Why he wouldn't even tip the scales when he got weighed" 3.
 And this was the sole satisfaction they got from the visit of Dr. Tubbs. The boys, walters chambermaids and all declared that he was Jonah, that either his pernicious principle or his presence was responsible for the most lamentable falling off in tips that they had ever experienced. And when Dr. Tubbs went back to Jefferson City a sigh of relief went up from all the de- pendents of the house. The porter, in his excess of joy. even volunteered to tote" the statesman's grip to the car.
 In the mean time the fate of tfle an ti-tipping bill hangs in the balance be- ing only less important in the public eye. of Missouri than the choice of a Senator. And Dr. Tubbs, embittered by his experiences and the attempt to blacken his anti-tipping fame, is more determined than ever that the tip shall be banished from the State.-NeW York Tribune,

RENTING THE GLASS TRADE.
What May be Wrought in that Direc-
 ton by a Clever Invention.

What May be Wrought in that Direc- ton by a Clever Invention.
 At an opportune moment--when the glass industry of England is going from
 bad to worse--a remarkable invention
 has just been patented which, it is
 hoped will enable England to regain
 much of her lost trade. The small man
 rfaetures of glass have been practical ly wiped out owing to their inability to
 stand the strain of paying workmen
 for the long hours in which no work can be done.
 But to explain. The materials of which glass is composed are put in what is technically called @ pot, and this pot, or crucible, is placed in a furnace. But up to the present these pots have been so fashioned that workmen have to wait IS hours and longer before the metal can be drawn for practical purposes.
 In some cases even as long as AS hours has elapsed, and it is common occur enee for workmen arriving in the early hours of the morning with intention of
 working the metal melting in the pots over night to find that they have to
 wait for a few hours before they can commence. All this means lost money The new invention prevents this loss of time, and like all clever devices it
 is simple. The inventors, Messrs Jules
 Lang & Son. have thoroughly tested it. and have produced glass beautifully clear and as refined as it is possible to
 be. The Lang pot, by an ingenious
 arrangement, permits an uninterrupted flow of glass, and thus the work can be kept going day and night.
 The pots that have been in use hith- erto have not given the results ex- pected of them owing to their compli- cated structure and because their prime cost, and cost of maintenance have been very considerable. The inn portance of the new invention thus less in it's continuous flow of metal it's economy, it's relatively small cost and ease of construction. It also insures a fine glass or crystal, because of the fa- cility in avoiding the entry of air while drawing off the glass.
 The Lang pot holds a ton of glass, and it is placed in the furnace in such manner that only two necessary openings-the mouth and the arch opening-can appear. With this pot a small manufacturer will be able to
 hold his own against foreign conpeti- tion, and the coming year should wit
 ness a great revival in the English glass industry. Without extra coal a
 manufacturer can produce three times
 as much glass with the Lang pot as with the older method.-London Mail.
