on the part Of designing politicians
to abrogate the referendum amend

naught. The people are getting
wiser than they used TO be and
they will hardly stand for any

appears. As a matter of fact mos,

SOME FORMS OF
SMALL GRAFT.

0NAaVk@AN bAsaN fsN'N y
for the year ending June 30,
1904, is good reading for the man
who Is interested In the won.
drous ways of his government. The
tariff Is undoubtedly beGe6ceht
and holy thing without which no
working man could possibly get
work, but the collection OF revenue
under IL at some Of the ports Of
entry seems somewhat expensive.
If the departments that the pub
lie cannot get u line on are run
on the came generous lines as the
department of customs, which is
set out in the secretary's report,
the appropriations could be reduced
one. half and still leave money TO
build a transcontinental railroad
aud dig several canals.
For illustration, we find in this re-
port that last year it required the
services Of twenty.six able. bodied
men at the port cf Brownville,
Texas. TO collect s4,S50.66. For
the years work the twenty.sIx
men were paid $32,004.59. A very
profitable year--for the collectors.
To spend thirty thousand dollars
to collect four is triumph of de-
partment management that should
challenge the admiration Of any
body.
But Texas does not stand alone
in her great usefulness to the work
ing man aud his desire to yet work,
A glance through the report shows
other states much nearer the seat
of high civilization doing what
they can for the workingman also.
The following ports, for instance,
are close competitors in absurdity:
III Castine, Maine, 1t required
six men ut cost of "a 400 to col.
lect s692.S4.
III Waldoboro, Maine, it required
seven men ut a cost of $6.T5l.59 TO
collect 81, 1,362.60.
In Frenchman's Bay, Maine, II
required five mem at u cost of $3,'
6O6. .65 to collect $323.S4,
In Machias, Maine, 1t required
five men at u cost Of S4,31l.47 to
collect $7S4.35.
IN Saco, Maine, 1t required two
men at cost Of $430 to collect
$l3.40.
All of which goes to show that
Maine is doing the best she can,
considering her rocky coast and
the difficulty Of making landings.
Il will be observed by footing the
columns that the government there
spent $i9,499.7i in employing
twenty-five men to collect S3,l27.'
O3. The reports of the local hu'
name society do not indicate thai
these men were over-worked, Al
Nantucket, Mass, and half doz'
en- other places, these conditions
are identical with margin slight
ly more or less.
But, excepting only Beaufort
South Carolina. it is the custom
house at Annapolis, Maryland--al
most on the back steps of the capi
tol--which should be the mark o
special pride to the treasury de
partment. At Annapolis the de
partment kept three strong men a
work the whole year, at a cost o
81, 1866, to collect $14.
Beaufort, South Carolina, how
ever, stands in a class by itself
It's service as a port of entry las
year was SO unique and distinguish
ed as to win for it public mention
in congress. At Beaufort two mer
received $1,509.2S for collecting

The Kent News says: The currant worms
have again put in their appearance and are
eating the leaves from the gOOseberry bushes.
They are the easiest Of all insects TO control.
The remedy is right at hand on. perhaps,
every farm in the county; and II applied
promptly you also get rid Of them for many
years to come as you destroy the next years
brood. Dig up some polk root,put in a large
vessel and boil them; use the water,or rather
the polk root tea in either a sprayer or a
water pot, spray your bushes well and you
will have no more trouble with the currant
worm. The gooseberry crop is such a valua-
bic one to the ones who are lucky enough to
have the bushes that promptness is abso-
lutely necessary.
