REPUBLICANS PLEASED.

There is one thing particularly
gratifying to straight Republicans in
the appointment of Mr. Spry as Unit
ed States marshal. 1t shows that the
regular Republican organization is
recognized and that it is the only or
ganization that is recognized by the
national leaders of the party. 1t
shows that the boilers and their little
side shows, like the American" party,
have no standing except in the heated
imaginations of the members of that
party. That fact has filled the side
show leaders with dismay. They had
led their dupes to believe that they
were at" Now it appears that they
were not at" at all. Their collapse
was like that of toy balloon which
had been pricked and the air allowed
to escape.
We hope Mr.. w. II. Wilkins will be
retained as clerk of the new board of

Some half-baked fellow who once
held subordinate position in the post
office, has made charges against Post
master Thomas, with view of pre-
venting Mr.. Thomas confirmation by
the United States senate. The accu
sations are simply repetition of the
old false charges which were manu-
featured year or two ago by ex-Sen
ator (then senator) Kearns and some
of his delectible associates, and which
were thoroughly investigated at thu
time and found to be without a grail
of truth. Mr.. Thomas came out o
that investigation with colors flying
while his enemies were confounde
and condemned by all decent peopl
who knew the facts. The presen
charges will not need any investiga
ton and will not interfere with MI
Thomas confirmation.

Endeavors to Keep Paper Making
= Material from Being Shipped
!. to America.

German manufacturers Ct pap+r are
urging the reichstag to impose an ex-
port duty on rags other than woolen,
with the object OF preventing their ex-
=portation to the United States. The
bill provides for an export duty of 60
cents per 100 pounds, or $12 per ton,
which, says the New York Herald. will
practically prohibit the expectation.
The New York Paper Dealers asso-
citation. has taken the matter up with
the view Of asking for retaliatory leg
islations by congress. The enactment
OF such q law would close up many
houses In New York that conflne their
business entirely to the importation OF
French and German rags, and 1t lis as
serted that as result the prices OF
all kinds Of paper will be advanced.
It is understood that France will take
the same action. Peretz Rosenberg, q
member Ct one Of the New York
houses. says: .z=..

GERMANY cLlNGS TO RAGS.

This matter is much more serious
than many suppose in its relation to
the paper industry OF this country.
The proposed duty is practically pro-
hibitive, and the matter will not end
there, for France is sure to take some
action along the same line. There has
been talk here Of placing a duty on
rags for nearly two years.
In the calendar year 1905 there were
$2.389.523 worth of rags other than
WOODEN imported into the United
States, about one-half coming from
Germany. There were imported from
Germany $3,7So,554 worth OF paper. and
the German manufacturers think that
If an export duty were placed on rags
more paper would be exported to this
country. Before rags were imported
to any considerable extent from Ger
many paper manufacturers there could
obtain rags for almost any price they
wanted to pay; but the demand from
the United States has increased so
IN the last few years that they have
had g pay much higher prices.''

They could sound the bugle charge as

we stayed at that town until pa got
good and ready to go home. He bucked

soon found he had so much money
that he could break any bank, SO they
closed up their lay-outs and began to
cell pa mining stock in mines which
were fabulously rich if they only had
money to develop them. They sailed
some mines near town for pa to ex-
anime, and when he found that they
contained gold enough in every shovel
full of dirt to make a man crazy, he,
bought whole lot of stock, and then
the gamblers entertained pa for all
that was out.
They got up dances a,d fandangos,

of him, cause he did not lose his heat.
He just acted dignided, and they
thought they were entertaining a dis

movement found devoted disciples. In
1871 some Catalan workmen an
nounced themselves as Collecti-vist
anarchists, perhaps the first example
of the use of the name by an associa-
ton. Bakunin and the Italian inciter
Malatesta exercised powerful infiu-
enoe upon Spaniards inclined to revo-
lutionary views, as time went on the
anarchist tendency grew more and
more pronounced in Spain. Spanish
anarchists have shown an unusual CO.
hesion, similar to that of a we'll Or
ganized secret society, and because of
their practical measures Spain has be-
come the real center of the interna-
tional propaganda Of anarchy. But
here, as elsewhere, there are various
groups, not all terrorists.
London is harbor for anarchists
from various lands, and rumor has it
they have pact with the British Sc
cret police, so long as the British royal
family is immune from anarchist at
tacks they not to be molested. It ap-
pears that at least an agreement ex-
lists among the anarchists themselves
not to molest British royalty as long
as anarchists are allowed freedom of
access to England and are not SUBJ
jected to persecution while therein.
In the United States and Switzer-
land, as we'll as in England, anarchists
have found refuge. These are the
three most democratic nations of the
world, and have hesitated to put re-
stra1nts on freedom of speech. Now
statesmen of these nations are consid-
ering If the time has not come when
action should be taken to limit an

once year the people get up a rabbit
drive and go out in the night by the
hundred, on horseback, and surround
the country for ten miles or SO, and at
daylight ride along towards corral,
where thousands of rabbits are driven
in and slaughtered with clubs. The
men ride close together, with dogs,
and no guilty rabbit can escape.
Pa thought it would be picnic, and
so we went along, but pa wishes that he
had let well enough alone and kept out
Of the rabbit game. Those natives are
full Of fun, and on these rabbit drives
they always pick out some man to
have fun with, and they picked out pa
as the victim. We rode along for a
couple of hours, flushing rabbits by the
dozen, and they would run along ahead
of us, and multiply, so that when the
corral was in sight ahead the prairie
was alive with long cared animals, so
the earth seemed to be moving, and it
almost made man dizzy to look at
them.
The hundreds of men on horseback
had come in close together from all

or five acres of upland, and that<ac~
cording to the we'll substantiated fig
ures OF Shaler, the cost of reclamation
should not exceed one-flfth the final
value Of the land.
The Yankee farmer has found out
that certain class of bog land can bo
turned to profitable account in grow
ing the cranberry, but when c6nsidera-
ton Is given the extent of our swamp
lands it would seem nothing has been
done in the developing of the possi-
bilities that lie therein. Shaler, writ
ing in Science in 1886, argues for the
utilization of our swamps and gives
Information in regard to the various
classes of swamps in the United States.
"These neglected districts are of great
extent and very varied nature. They
consist, in part, of land which is some-
what less fertile than the best soils,
but which in every other respect is fit
for tillage. A preliminary
study of the field has shown the re-
markable fact that we have left I'M
touched in the region east of the Mis-
sissippi districts of easily, drained
swamp lands amounting to more than
$4,000 square miles of area. The inun-
dated lands of the lower Mississippi
remain in the state in which they were
when first seen by men, while similar
areas in England were long ago won to
the state Of the most fertile fields Of
that country.
"Our American inundated lands are
divisible into several classes, deter
mined by the condition of their origin.
OF these the most important are the
tide water marshes, the lacustrine
swamps Of the glaciated district, the
delta swamps' OF the Mississippi, and
the class of wet lands or upland
swamps where the marshy condition
is due to the action of plant in retain
ing water under the surfaces of con-
siderable districts.

culture, attention is called to the fact
that marshes and stagnant pools are
the principal breeding places of mos
quitoes. Science has shown that mos
quitoes are the most common, If not
the only means of conveying malarial
germs and introducing these germs
into the human system; and that mos
quitoes are the only proved cause of
the infection of yellow fever In Italy
vast areas Of land have been aban-
doned because of the mosquito pest.
While our salt marshes do not seem
to present the conditions necessary for
the breeding of the species OF malaria
mosquitoes in this country, they are
breeding places for immense numbers
of other mosquitoes that prove a pest
to persons and to stock, in some cases
so troublesome they lower the valua-
ton Of the land.
Engineers believe the everglades of
Florida can be drained, and hero
would be added to our rich lands 7,000,-
900 tillable acres. There are 5000, 900
acres of swamp lands in Michigan, be-
tween 100000 and 100000 acres in
Minnesota, 100000 in Wisconsin. In
New Jersey and Virginia there are
large areas. Salt marshes are promi-
nent features of nearly all the states
bordering the Atlantic and Pacific.
In preparing this article We have
found it difficult to get any very recent
writings on the subject of the reclaim
ing of the. swamps, but are looking
shortly for a food of literature on the
subject. Some years ago quite good
deal was said, crusade started for the
reclamation of our salt marshes; their
value as farming lands emphasized,
and that in the existing state they
were serious menace to the health of
the people living in their vicinity.
Notable among the government re-
ports issued at the time was Shaler's
"Sea- Coast Marshes of the United
States" and Nesbit's "Tidal Marshes"
