VIZ GAN, AND SHOULD GAN.

The poet Young tells us that "all may do what has by man been done.' and as a general proposition it is true. In the last issue of The Cane brake Herald. published at Uniontown. is this item:
 John Pollard. residing some i've miles from town. in a northerly direc- ton, brought a wagon load of canned Ss se ss. ss cg E sws and .ooS sSS price. The tomatoes were raised and canned on Mir. Pollards place, and 1t demonstrates what could be- done if a
 What one man can do in Perry coun- ty others can do elsewhere in Alabama. and what one man alone can do com pany could do better and with more profit. Tomatoes are easily grown and are prolific crop. Canning them must be profitable If we can judge from the fact that they are to be found in all produce and provision stores. and there is never any doubt about selling them. To establish a canning factory is not large enterprise. and one could be started in almost every town and village in Alabama, and when not can ming tomatoes 1t could work on some- thing else.
 We would be glad to know how many tons of canned goods are sold in Alabama every year. referring only to home products. Of course there are millions of cans sold of fish. meats and other things not found in the State. but confning it entirely to vegetables and fruits in Alabama it would be in- teresting to know how much money is sent out of the State each year for. goods that could just as we'll as not be put up at home.
 We have no desire to injure other sections. but self-preservation is said to be the first law of nature, and in all commercial matters it is the duty of each community to work out for its own interests. Even if only tho veg etsbles. fruits and berries that annual ly go to waste in this State could be gathered and canned the total saving would be immense. to say nothing of the quantities that could be grown if
 
 And there is always a market for can- ned goods for they are on hand at time when the fresh articles are not to be had. As general thing the sea- son for green corn. for any one vegeta- ble. and for any one fruit is short, though in Alabama there is success sion lasting almost the entire year. We have vegetables and strawberries in early spring. green corn almost till frost. peaches. pears, blackberries in the summer, so that for nine or ten months of each year there is something growing that could be preserved with profit. Many housekeepers lack the ferethought or the knowledge or the facilities and time to take advantage of an overcrop, so that they may have all these things in winter as well as at any other season.
 welI-equipped cannery should no more confine itself to putting up one product than a large woodworking establishment would confne itself to making doors. It could and should utilize everything for which there is or may be demand later on. There's double money in such an industry. It will pay those who engage in it and pay those who furnish the raw prod ucts. Further. it will keep at home for our own people many thousands of dollars that are now annually sent out of the State. By all means,let our peo- ple can.

THE SENATE AND ITS CRITICS
Senator Lodges Protest Is 0pportune
 And We'll Pounded.

Senator Lodges Protest Is 0pportune
 And We'll Founded.
 Philadelphia Press.
 The protest of Senator Lodge against the sweeping and indiscriminate as- saults upon the Senate and even upon the courts which have become so com mon in the general crusade of the day is opportune and well founded.
 The past year has brought appalling revelations of graft and dishonesty in municipal government and in eonspicu- ous cases of corporate infringement. The uprising of the American people against iniquities is the most hopeful sign of the times. Indeed, the distin- gushing mark of the year is not so much the disclosure of prevalent and abhorrent practices as the universal reproduction and warfare which they have encountered. The true keynote which sounds the public character is not the uncovering of wrong. which is limited to the few, but the demon- stration of loyalty to right which has swept over the land. This manifesto ton shows that the public heart is true, and it justifies confidence in the American people and institutions.
 The condemnation of discovered wrongs has been so earnest and em- phatic that tendency has grown up in some quarters to aSsail the general machinery of government and to in clude great and vital parts of our in- stitutions in the broad denunciation. The Senate Is the special and favorite object of these assaults. If they were directed to individual members who have justly exposed themselves to criticism, no fault could be found. But 1t is quite the fashion to speak of the Senate in its unity as degenerate and perverted body which Is the tool of special interests and false to the public welfare.
 This is 8 deep wrong, and it tends. to diffuse a most unjust idea. No fair minded man can have followed the discussion of the railroad rate ques- tion in the Senate without being im- pressed with the high capacity and the true public spirit of that body. What are called the palmy days of the Sem ate will hardly show a debate of great CT penetration or higher intellectual order. Not only is the standard of ability among the chief disputants of the first rank, but the reader cannot fail to feel that they are earnestly seeking the truth and are guided by a worthy public purpose.
 No one would undertake to vouch for the purity of motive in all cases. Nor would any one assume to say that the courts do not embrace judges who are subject to improper influences. But general attack on the Senate as recreant to its obligations or on the courts Is an attack on our institutions It is an indictment of the people them selves. The criticisms woulk have more force if they were more discriminating

ne Never Got the Me.ey.

A good story is told on John h Thomas of Muskogee, a well known lawyer of that city. who was former ly Judge of the Western district. says the Kansas City Journal One night Thomas found himself in a shabby lit- tie town which had no hotel Desiring to stay all night he asked lounger in front of a grocery store where ne might find accommodations The lounger went inside of the store. which was run by an Indian. When informed that there was a man outside who wanted a place to spend the night the Indian asked:
 "Who is the fellowr
 Judge Thomas" was the reply.
 Well, if that's the fellow. he had better pay me what he owes me before asking me for any favors.-
 How is thatr" queried the lounger. 'Ts he in debt to youT
 Yes" replied the Indian when he was judge in Muskogee I was brought before him for selling liquor. I was convicted, and in sentencing me he said: T will give you sixty days in jail and s1o0.' Isgot the sixty days all right. but he never came across with the $100.'"

There are many and divers methods Of cheating. but those who resort to such practices do not as a general thing advertise their rascally ways to the public. There is an exception to this rule. however. All of us have seen weighing scales which register the cost as we'll as the weight of a purchase. and though of course the cus- tcmeF never knows whether he is get for granted. There is a manufacturer of such scales in Cleveland, ohio, who sends out the following circular to merchants and shop-keepers:
 Can you do this on your scale? Buy 20 pounds of pork loins at g cents per pound; retail them to your trade at the aame price and get your money back? We can on cur scale and make bushes amounts to SIC a day in sales, we can earn you 30 cents in fractions you don't get now. Thirty cents a day means you buy this scale every so days. How long have you been in business? How many have you bought in that time? Think of it-one scale lost every IL gives the butcher, the odd fractions to which he is justly entitled. This feature alone. In the average meat and produce market. will not only save the cost of scale in a short time. but in d large market will save cserk's hire, which saving. on the old po,tad-and- ounce scales is entirely lost"
 All this specious argument ,soolt saving the fractions to which the sell Ser is entitled is intended to cover up the fact that this firms scales are real Iy dishensst, but we suspect that they do not lose many sales by thus ad- nittinE their real object

AFTER THE MOSQUITO.

The State of New Jersey is famous For trusts. They come up as the flow CTS and flourish as the green bay tree, but nevertheless she has one trust or monopoly that she would gladly be rid of. and that is the mosquito. For long time the Jersey mosquito has sup piled an endless theme for jokers, poets and cartoonists, and the fame of her particular brand for size and ferocity bas gone abroad even unto the ends of the earth. Whether they belong to the stegomians or to any or all other va- rieties of bloodsuckers is not material. They are countless in numbers. unrival- led in size and unmatched in ferocity and capacity.
 But New Jersey has become tired of her reputation and her mosquitoes and is beginning determined and system atic war on them the first move being an appropriation of s358.o0o to provide the sinews of a war of extermination. Hereafter in that State the mosquito will be persona non grata and various other things, and like the first born pf Adam he may say: "and it shall come to pas that every one that find Eth me shall slay me" And that Is not all. for it is proposed to destroy and abolish their breeding and roasting places so that. like Noah's dove, a mos quito shall find mo rest for the sole of her foot" and no place wherein she may build her nest and deposit her eggs. It is claimed by the State ento- mologist that the draining of 100000 acres of marshes will effectually put the insect out of business. New Jersey boasts of a State Mosquito Department and 1t Is going to get busy. It is es- ximated that the work will consume some five years. and they expect the appropriation of s35o.00O to be made each year. If required.
 The expenditure of that large sum will be a profitable investment if the figures of experts are correct. They estimate the total value of all the land fn the State at one thousand million dollars. and that the contemplated work will add ten per cent to its value. This means one hundred million dollars and that will be quite handsome prof it on the investment It is a large un- sdertaixing, but the promised results are also immense, and the good that may come from the thorough exter- minatien of such a pest is beyond com putstion. We wish the mosquito State anbounded success in her battle for freedom.
