WHISKY KILLS FEM.

A man named Roberts in Louisiana claims to have discovered that whisky will kill the boil weevil on cotton, and he is claiming the $50,- 900 reward offered by Texas.
 Whisky has been killing men for a long time and we do not see why it should not kill the boil weevil es- pecially if you can get them to drink enough of it.
 Mir. Roberts claims that whisky is a poison to pests, kills them almost immediately, and diluted with water will drive them off the cotton plant. Evidently the boil weevil is not as tough customer as many had sup posed. or as some men are, but it is encouraging to know that it can be put to some good use.
 Cotton growers should be warned not to apply the whisky internally to themselves and then sprinkle the bottle. diluted with water, over the plants, Such course might result in causing them to see two of the pests where there was but one, and hasten the destruction of their cot. ton or the owner thereof.
 MT. Roberts is reported as arrang- ing to apply the diluted whisky with spraying machine.

OPPOSED TO LONG MARchEs,
Gen. Md Caskey In His Annual Report Says Effect on Re-cnlistments Wnl be Disastrous.

Washington, ~ept. ,.-Lone marches in the infantry branch of the army as provided for In recent orders per taining to annual camps of instruc- tion, are disapproved by Brig. Gen. William S. McCaskey, commanding the Southwestern division. in his annual report to the war department. The recent orders, he says, will have de- cided and disastrous effect upon re- enlistments.
 Commenting upon the general dis satisfaction, Gen. McCaskey says:
 "The practice marches as now or dered and the prospect of a repeti- ton of this summers long encamp- ments and the extended marches in- cident thereto, are looked upon as an unnecessary hardship. American sol diers are thinking men and reason to the effect that while any hardship that is necessary will be endured, those not necessary will be evaded. It is believed that the infantry sol dier upon re-enlistment will be founo in the coast artillery.
 T am of the opinion that camps of instruction as now conducted are too long In duration. Three weeks in camp should be sufficient Marches sSould be less than 100 miles. Any thing beyond this is unnecessary and is disapproved of by the majority oi the officers and men whom have interviewed on the subject"

"A JOHN BROWN OF TODAY. !"

William Allen White, editor of the Emporia. (Kas.) Gazette, one of the most influential Republican papers in that state, in an article under the above quoted caption referring to a Republican meeting recently held. among other things says:
 ''This is a queer world. If Vice President Fairbanks and the honor ables who are congregated this hot August in white shirts and high hats at Osawatomie really admire John Brown as much as they claim to,why don't they cut loose from conven- tional traditions as John Brown did, and stand as John Brown stood against the wrong, even though governments and the forms and traditions of the world of society opposed them? The whole world knows that it is wrong for one man to make other men work for him, who has not honestly obtained the money with which to pay them. The whole world knows that when man gets money without giving society adequate return for that money ir the shape of real service tc the peo- pie the man has stolen the money The whole world knows that even though the money is stolen legally it is held immorally and that the thief is s thief in the sight of God and man We today Know it of men who gam ble in stocks, of men who water stocks, of men who operate in tn, crooked paths of that part of higf finance which rests upon cheating and lying and chicanery."

Two Policies.

As a pendant to the great naval display at Oyster Bay comes the report that the Dread- nought, the largest fighting vessel in the English navy and in world, is defective in construction and does not measure up to her theoretical strength.
 Only seven months ago the huge vessel was launched. She was put in commission last week and starts on her career a dis appointment.
 A 'great naval program" is sure to be disfigured with such disappointments. We have sew cral powerful fighters on the stocks, but there is no assurance that they will not be obsolete within a year after launching. Indeed, modern experiences proves that vessel begging to be obsolete as soon as her keel is laid, How soon the process will be completed depends upon the rapidity of invention.
 We have plenty of money for such sieves, and we pour 1t in with lavish generosity. But when we need money for purposes of domestic improvement the word is it costs too much; there is no money.
 It seems poor policy-$l00, 000,. 900 year for policy ot destruc tion, and cheese-pariug economy for the constructive policy of pro gress.

We are not on the aggressive; we are on the defensive; cur action was made absolutely 'neces- sary by the concerted action of com mission men in al the markets where by they arbitrarily raised the prices for handling our produce.
 We have organized our Co-opera- tive Commission company to protect ourselves against this action We do aot expect to attack: we expect only to defond our own rights. We will buy and sell live stodx at the same prices and under the same conditions that the exchanges handled them be- fore the edict was issoed from a na- tional meeting of the live stock men In Buffalo that the commission charges should be uniformly advanced at all the markets"
