The same principle prevails in the
selection of the species which are sub
mitted to his treatment Here, also, the
result depends chiefly upon the num-
bers. He tries all kinds of berries
and numerous species of Towering
plants. Some Of them soon prove to be
promising and are chosen, others offer
no prospects and are rejected.
The total number of the species he
has taken into his culture amounts to
$500. The list of the introductions of
last year shows 500 species, mostly
from South America and Australia
Formerly he often made excursions, in
order to collect the most beautiful
wild flowers or the best berries of
northern California, but for several
years he has had no time to spare for
this work. He has two collectors, who
collect only for him, and many CORE
spondents who send valuable bulbs
and seeds from time to time.
One of his collectors travels in Chile,
the other in Australia, preferring the
regions in which the climate CORE
spends best with that of Santa Rosa.

CYNICAL, MISCHIEV0US AND
MASTEFUL.

The passage of the ''dollar day"
pension bill is discreditable to- the
House of Representatives. If its'fn-
teptended bene6ciaries preserve that
spirit which took them to the front in
1861 they will regard it as an insult,
for passed on the eve of Presi-
Dental campaign, it is designated as
nothing less than bride for their
votes. Are the meu who were once
willing to give their lives in the SER
vice of the ration SO changed that
they are ready 10 have it tacitly as
sumed by Congress that their suf-
frages may be bought for few dol
lars apiece of additional pension
mopsS every month?
Re refuses to believe that
Shi0 viding for the wholesale
handing out OF money to every vet
er an, practically irrespective of his
peeds and of whether he actually saw
any service or not. represents the
sentiments of the old soldiers. We
can believe they do not wish to see
their comrades without means of sup
port because of age or disability. No
one does. The country has exhibited
unparalleled generosity toward those
who fought its battles. Its expendi-
lures for military. pensions surpass
those of all the great countries OF
Eur ope taken to gether. Throughout
the purpose has been kept il mind to
prevent restitution to relieve need, to
take care OF suffering, and except
ional liberality. But in This bill
'every such consideration is thrown
aside and the payment provided is a
mere gratuity, mere "hand-out" of
unexampled dimensions, offered with
uuconcealed cynicism just when the
old soldiers are about to cast their
votes in Presidential election. The
am cunt of the pension $50 month to
be bestowed without discrimination is
unprecedented. Who ever heard of
pensions, where no injury is shown
and DO extraordinary need exists, far
exceeding the pay for the post form
erly held by the pensioner far ex
ceeding any old age pension paid
anywhere by any government ? The
last years of those who defended the
cou ntry in the CIVIL War should not
he passed in misery and in want.
Every case OF need should be relieved,
if it has not already been relieved by
the liberal general pension laws and
the energy of Congress in passing
private bills. But the granting of a
practically undiscriminating peaions
Of $40 . month would be demoraliz-
ing precedent.
The cost would be prodigious. Es-
timates- vsry. Perhaps in the FIRST
year not more than $50, 200, eco or
$40. 600, 600 would be added to the
pension bill, but that would be be
cause of the inability OF the Pension
Bureau to pass upon all the claims in
one year. When the work is CON-
pleted the cost, according to esti-
mates. furnished to the Committee by
Fisher OF the Interior Department
will be nearly $40, 900, 900 a year. And
this from Congress which is pledged
to economy.-New York Tribune.

The House of Representatives
acted hastily in passing a resolu-
ton which was insulting to Rus
STA and abrogated the treaty OF
1882. Russia treated American
citizens as it did her own citizens
and those of other countries. We
cannot dictate to Russia as to the
laws governing her own citizens
ny more than Russia can dictate
to the United States.with referen-
e to our own domestic laws. The
ident will doubtless manage
dffair so as not to give an
nessary of a front to Russia.
