MISCHIEF MAKERS.
Republicans Who Are working In
directly For the Democrats.


Not since the election Of James Buch-
anan have there been enough Demo
Gratis In the United States to elect
president. The Republicans who twice
elected Grover Cleveland TO the proud
position of president Of the United
States We're of that same element
which seeks to creep into our national
affairs today-the tariff rippers. But
the Cleveland Republicans learned
their lesson, and they will rush in no
more where wise men are lOath TO en-
ter. The Massachusetts papers which
are agitating tariff revision today are
working indirectly go almost directly
for the welfare of the Democratic par
ty. There are doubtless those among
them who do not care and who would
wear the JOseph's coat of mugwump-
ism without hesitation IL only the
sacred interests" of Massachusetts
could be thereby conserved. They are
as deaf to argument as they are bla.
tant In their campaign for tariff re-
vision. They are like mad bulls. the
tariff being To them as red rag They
do not stop to reason. but attack the
protection fence in blind anger.
They talk of changed conditions"
and Of keeping the tariff constantly
adjusted to a shifting wage scale. II
their plans we're carried out capital
would not be invested. and much of
what Is now invested would he with
drawn from the field of too many
chances, as was the ease in the stiI
well remembered Cleveland regime.
Mr.. Cleveland is good citizen. but
the country can never forget the ruin
and disaster which followed his elec-
ton TO the presidency ana that pur-
blind application of Democratic tariff
ripping principles which scared the in
dustry Of the nation like the appllca-
ton Of a white hot ron-Portsmout

FIGHTING THE RUM EVIL.
Some Practical Suggestions by
Prominent Physician

fFobainent physIctnu.
DR.. l. "A. McSwain in paper on al
coholic insanity, read before the Ten
nessee Medical association, offered the
following suggestions:
"The children of drunken and de-
bauChcd parents ought for obvious rCa-
sons to be taken away from them and
placed in decent homes or removed TO
industrial institutions provided by the
state. This would check their hercdi-
tary tendencies to drunkenness and
therefore reduce the number being
raised up TO become burden to the
state in the way Of paupCr5, criminals,
lunatics.
Young people who in early life con
tract the pornicious habit Of drinking
should also be removed from the temp
tatiOn Of their environments ana placed
in institutions in which they should be
taught some useful employment and
restrained from vicious habits.
"The drinking man as soon rs he be-
gins his spree, before he Is crazed by
1t, should be taken into custody, not
as mere nuisance. but ms Il dan.
gerous man or one likely to become So
because of insanity in the lnciplcnt
stage.
THE confirmed drunkard the chronic
alcoholic subject, should on no account
be allowed to exercise his personal lib
crty In the pursuit Of decisions which
result from prolonged exccsscs"-

VANITY VERSUS VlNOSlTY.
Temperance womnn's Clever Way of
Gaining Male Converts.

One Of the practical, sensible and
shrewd members Of the Women's
Christian Temperance union says her
method of combating the love of strong
drink Is not to appeal to the sense Of
fairness in II man addicted to alcohol
or to paint n picture Of the misery Of
his wife and children. but to attack
what she calls his vanity nerve.

nothing else will" said this dscovercr.

pretty woman's attention because he
cannot see far enough. Throw out
few remarks as to the effect OF alco-
hol on the optic nerve, and he will pay
attention, though pretending not to.

The Effects
OF Spraying
Demonstrated On An Orchard
In This Valley by an Expert,

Mr. c. a. Hickenlooper, Secretary
Of the State Board of Horticulture
has Just returned from Cache Valley
where he has been investigating the
results Of experiments conducted by
T.. ID. Ball Of the Utah Experiment
Station, on the effects Of spraying and
banding for the coding moth in
apples
1t is a well known fact that this
pest for years has been one of the
greatest draw back to the apple indus
try. In fact 1t has totally discourag-
ed great many Of the fruit raisers in
this state.
The methods followed by Mr.. Ball
are as follows: Through spraying
with Paris Green as recommended in
bulletin 10 of this Board, of which
Prof Ball is an advisory member. In
connection with the spraying he has
also bandaged the tree with strip of
burlap to catch what larva might
have escaped the poison. The beauty
OF Prof Balls work is that it is not
merely theory but he has demonstrat-
ed it on commercial scale In the
orchard of Thos Smart of Logan,
where great part of this work has
been done there are over four hun
dred trees and Mr.. Smart says that
previous to Prof. Balls taking his
orchard for experimental purposes in
the spring or 1904 il was the exception
to have any apples free from worms.
A careful estimate has been made of
the fruit on the trees and not less
than % per cent are free from worms
Mr.. Hickenlooper spent over an hour
in the orchard and failed to find
single wormy apple, This fact dem
onstrates the thoroughness of Prof
Balls first spraying. The surprising
feature of this experiment was the
fact that some trees which were hid.
der by thicket on one edge of the
orchard were overlooked in the spray
ing and on these trees every apple
had fallen off through the excess of
worms and these had as much fruit
on as the Others in the beginning.
The same was true of an orchard i'm
the immediate vicinity that had not
been sprayed. In this orchard Mr. |
Hichenlooper found the fruit nearly
all on the ground and what little was
was left on the trees was badly infest-
ed with cooling moth
Mr.. Balls results are corroboratcd |
by the practical in this part of the
state. Mr.. VIM. Gibbs has small |
orchard OF - Ben Davis trees that he |
thoroughly sprayed once as soon as
the petals of bloom had fallen, at a |
cost OF Sl.7J, and he secured from that |
one spraying about 80 per cent of APP.
pies that are now on the trees free
from worms and are loaded at the
present writing. Also ID. NJ. Camp
bell, who has large apple orchard on
Providence Bench, has sprayed his
trees three times and bandaged them
during the summer and it is estimat-
ed that he has 0S per cent of Ben
Davis free from worms and from 80
per cent TO % per cent of these varie-
ties free from worms while his neigh
Dor who did not properly spray has all
the way from one to sixteen worms in
most of his apples. In fact we found
very few in the orchard that was free
from worms horticultural Bulletin.

A compilation of figures brought to-
gether during the review of court
martial case where an officer of the
army had been sentenced for dis
missal for being intoxicated while
on duty shows that since 1890 there
have been but seventeen cases sent
to the war department for review
wherein an officer is charged with
intoXication. This list includes only
regular army officers. The total was
SO low that even officials of the
war department who follow courts
martial closely were surprised. There
are about $500 officers in the army
The figures show that in 1890 there
were no such cases, four in 1891, two
in 1895, one in 1890, two in 1900, one
in 1901, four in 1902 and another two
in 1904.

TOOK THE SHEEP BACK.

an English exchange. A farmer in
the Peak district, having purchased
small flock of sheep in the Low.
lands. drove the flock the whole way
from Scotland to his farm in Derby
shire with the aid of collie dog
which was lent to him by the Scotch
farmer from whom he purchased the
sheep. when you get to your home
with the sheep" said the Scotchman.
"let the dog FIJI his belly; then tell
him to go home" The Derbyshire
man duly arrived at his farm with
the sheep, and was so pleased with
the collie dog and its performance
that he decided to keep it a few days
before sending 1t back. One day he
was away from home during the whole
of the day, and on returning in the
evening he found that the Scotch col
lie was missing, and also the flock of
sheep. In few days tidings came
that the dog had arrived at his Scotch
home and had brought the sheep back
with him.
