1SS3-4 shows that all the railroads in Arkansas were valued by Gov ernor Berry at S6, 552, 9S5.13. The same identical property was val ued by Governor Hughes, as shown by the Secretary of States's report for 1So5 i at S14,- 704, 63S. .7s, an increase of over eight million dollars. Not only that, but we find in tue Secretary of States report that the second year Berry was governor he re duced the assessment of the Iron Mountain more than $500. 900. The main line of the Iron Noun tain was assessed by Governor Berry at S6, T96 per mile: now 1t was assessed under his (Davis) ad- ministration, at S22 300 per mile, or nearly five times as much as Governor Berry had assessed 1t. Senator Berry had stated in q re- cent letter to him through the public press that truthful state ment of his Gerry 's) official record would be beneficial. He challeng- ed the senator or any of his friends to dispute one word of the record he had given.
 Do you know,' said he, that since l have been your governor the increased valuation placed up- on railroad property for taxation amounts to more than fifty million dollars. And do you know that since 1 have had the honor to hold this office 1 have caused to be col lected and turned into the school fund, the city treasuries, the coun- ty and state treasury, more than a million dollars in actual cash in ex- cess, not of Governor Berry y ad- ministration, but in excess of the administration of any governor that ever served the people of Ar kansas! When you compare 1t with the administration of Cover nor Berry the result is simply ap- palling.
 He was not preiudiced against the railroads, but 1t was better to care for the little fellows, upon whose shoulders had always rested the burdens of the government.
 Two years after it's admission into the Union Arkansas issued two million dollars in 6.per cent bonds, and the national govern ment bought some of these bonds. The state defaulted in payment of these bonds, and they continued in full force and effect as just debt which the state owed the gov

ernment up to the time Clarke be- came governor. By an act of the legislature Gov. Clarke was au- thorized to settle with the govern ment and went to Washington City for that purpose, but when this settlement was proposed Tn Congress to be ratified, an amend ment was offered by Mr. Mickle- john that the claim could not be settled until certain controversy between Arkansas and the Iron Mountain railroad over the owner ship of some swamp land should be settled. In other words, he said, before Arkansas was allowed to pay an honest debt, she must surrender 273, GOO acres of land to this same railroad company which Berry had exempted from taxation while he was governor. But when this amendment was introduced Berry was then in the senate, and speaking upon the amendment Senator Berry used the following language (which Davis read from the Congressional Record.) MT. President, much as l desire to have this settlement made, much as 1 should like to see the old controv- ersity ended, yet if that should be brought about and 1t should put $500, GOO into the treasury of Ark ansas, 1 would not yield to this insolent railroad company, who seek by blackmail to interfere with legislation in the Congress of the United Statf ,"
 But Clarke left Washington to come home and in few days a change comes over Berry, and he not only consented to this steal, but took an active part in passing the amendment. Senator Berry has been in the senate P years and 1 challenge him to point to one law or bill that bears his name which ever became law. And if he has not accomplished any thing in the twenty-two years of his young manhood, how can he expect to accomplish anything in his declining yearsl What the senate needs today Is more fresh young blood, coming direct from the people.
 He then took up the Hatch anti option bill introduced in Congress in 1894, which sought to place a prohibitive tax on gambling on the products of the soil, and show ed from the Congressional Record

EFFECTS OF PROHIBITION
John Hindman Says Total Prohibition Would Put Thousands of People
 Out of Employment.
To The Newark Journal:

To The Newark Journal:
 Please have patience and give me space in your columns to con tinue my discourse began q few weeks ago. in regard to the ad- vantages derived from spirituous liquors by the human family. In the former parts of my discourse 1 have had to be as brief as possi ble, because all that might be said on the subject would be too volum- inous for the columns of d small newspaper. What l have written on this matter, l have written without bias, or the intention of being biased. l have written as 1 see from my standpoint. l intend to try to be reasonable in all things. We will now proceed to enumerate part of the position that the manufacture of alcoholic liquors occupies in the industries of our country. l then leave the subject to the minds of my fellow citizens for them to decide wheth- CT or not we could dispense with that amount of labor without det- riment to our common country.
 In the first place, there are en- gagged in agricultural persuits, in the United States, 100,3S1, ,765 people. And of farm labores, I, ,4I0, S87, making total of H. 1926 people who are actually engaged in agricultural persuits, embracing nearly one fifth of all the inhabitants of the country. And, according to statistics, there are something over 2S, ,000,0 ,000 women and children depending on this persuit for living. We will now proceed to enumerate some of the farm products that are con- sumed in the manufacture of alco- hoI and it's products. These fig ures are based on the census of 1900. In that year there were 16, 565, ,S04 bushels of corn distill- ed. Of wheat, 17, ,419 bushels; of barley, log, 115 bushels; of rye B. 952, ,333 bushels: of malt 2,623, S29 bushels and of molasses 2,962, ,691 gallons. And of malt liquors there were produced in 1900, 39, ,330, ,849 barrels, consuming 49, 163, ,561 bushels of malt; of hops 39, 330,- S49 pounds and S,426, ,271 bushels of corn. Knock the above all out, Prohi, then talk of ruined homes.
 We will now proceed to enumer- ate some of the trades and domes- tic service that would be injured by total prohibition. There are 600,0 ,000 dray-men and teamsters, whose business would be reduced one fourth. There are 126, 133 glass workers and potters Re- duce one-third. Coopers, g, ,200. Reduce one half. Copper work CTS, &, 1S5. Reduce one-eighth. Al coholic liquor establishments D. $50, employing 9,S26 men and paying in wages S2S, ,005, 404. Tot al annihilation. Bar tenders S8,- 317. Saloon keepers, S3, 746. Both the above would be totally out of employment. Dealers in l liquors and wines, 13,205. Total. Brewers and matters 20, ,962. Total. Distillers and rectifiers }, 144. Tot al. In the wine industry there were engaged, in 1900, 1,507 per sons, whose wages amounted to s446, ,055. Total. All the above occupations to which the word total is annexed, would be put entirely out of existence by the success of prohibition.

GOVERNOR DAVIS SPEECH
Brief Synopsis of Governors Address in Which the Records of Himself
 and Berry Were Discussed.

Governor Jeff Davis, candidate for United States senator; W. F. Kirby, candidate for attorney gen eral; David l.. King, candidate for governor: W. A. Oldfield and $. Brundidge, candidates for Con- gress, addressed the people here at the picnic Tuesday.
 A speakers stand had been erect ed for the occasion, and a large crowd gathered around to hear the speakers, but the ineessant din and noise made 1t very unpleasant for both the speakers and those who wished to hear them.
 Governor Davis was introduced shortly after one o'clock by Sena- tor Jno. A. Hhikle, and spoke for two hours and five minutes.
 As the senatorial campaign be- tween Governor Davis and Sena- tor Berry seemed to be the chief topic of interest, The Journal made no effort to get a synopsis of the other speeches, but presents below brief sketch of the goyer- nor's talk.
 Governor Davis began by stat ing that he was candidate for Uuited States senator, and said that he was not definitely advised that Senator Berry was Il eandi- date, but assumed that he was, and would treat him as such until he was advised to the contrary. He began with the finances of the state and showed that there was now surplus of over two million dollars in the state treasury, with ,ofl., sl0,000 outstanding indebted ness. The state owed S65,00O when he was eSeted governor, and despite the fact ' 1t was pre- dicted that the stat''' ould be ruin ed and go to the bow4gows if he was elected, the state had prosper ed as 1t had never done before. Property values had increased. the states's indebtedness had been paid off and the population of the state had increased 25 per cent. The condition of the states charita- ble institutions had been bettered, additions built to them, and the State University we'll provided for and its usefulness increased. His own record as governor was dis cussed at length, and every official act of hls life, he said, was an opp en book, subject to the inspection of the people.
 Senator Berry's record as gov ernor was then discussed. Senator Berry went from the circuit iudge's bench to the governors office in 1883, after having served eight years as circuit judge, and 1t must be presumed that Berry was familiar with the law, yet, as gov ernor, Berry approved an act pass ed by the legislature to exempt from taxation the embankments, tunnels, cuts, ties, trestles and bridges of the railoads. In other words, he said, more than two thirds of the railroad property in Arkansas was exempt by this act. but Governor Berry signed and approved It.
 Governor Hughes, who succeed ed Berry, told the railroad com panies that the act was unconstl- tutional. and that they must pay taxes. They went into the courts and our supreme court sustained Governor Hughes.
 Governor Berry was chairman of the State Railroad Assessment Board and we find, he said, that the secretary of State ssreport for

When to Cut Alfalfa.

To get the most out of the alfalfa crop 1t should be cut when in full bloom, and this time covers about week. The man that has . large field to cut must keep in mind the fact that he must be- Kin early to get the hay down before the heads get too old. A good many exper- iments have been made to discover the very best time for the cutting in rela- ton to the digestibility and greatest amount of nutritive contents. Too early cutting gives good degree of digesti- bility, but too little nutriment and late cutting give large nutritive content but too little digestibility.-Farners Review.

APPLE TREE BoRERs.
There Are Two Kinds of This Pest as a General Rule-often
 Three Are Found.

Two kinds of borers are usually mentioned as troubling apple trees, although there are often three kinds. especially in the neighborhood of oak timber, writes F. C. Pellett in Fruit Farmer. The two kinds usually mo- ticed are round-headed and fat-headed apple tree borers. The third is much larger than either. and more destruc- tive. It is known as the prionus or E!ant root borer.
 The round-headed borer works near the base of the tree. at or near the uurface of the ground. This species requires three years to reach maturity. The fiat-headed borer more often at tacks sickly trees, and is especially likely to enter at points injured by sun scald. thus not only boring about the base. but also about the trunk. and sometimes larger limbs. The prionus Is . larger borer. about the size of a mans little finger. IL usually works uear the timber. sometimes being troublesome on the outside rows and not bothering in the interior of the orchard Nothing is known that will reach this fellow. as the tree is gen srslly in a dying condition before his preseace Is suspected It often begins work in the tap root. and bores up into the tree. I have seen young nursery stoch with the entire heart eaten out sy this insect- only the bark remain lnr. and have had Rome beauty trees tr years old cut of hy it.

STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT.

 ptner members of the gourd family are particularly subject to the attacks of these insects, but they also infest corn, peas. beans and other crops and when appearing in large numbers are most difficult to combat. says the Prairie Farmer The beetle hiber- mates and in the early spring deposits It's eggs on the ground. the larvae from which burrow in the earth and destroy the roots of the plant. To get rid of the pest the planting of trap crops of early squash is recommended. these being either sprayed or dusted with arsenical poisons, SO that by the time the main crop is planted and above ground the insects will have been de- stroyed. Paris green may also be used pn the crops infected with much sue cess.

About the only remedy we use Is to dig out the larvae with a sharp knife or wire. By giving the orchard thorough attention once or twice a year they can be kept in check.
