The Big Fellow" :"

The Hon. Timothy -. Sullivan is slated
for further service in Congress. lie is
better known as the Big Fellow "a
sobriuuet bestowed by his admiring con-
stituents, and having reference as we'll
to his warm and generous nature as tn
his physical proportions. He is a giant
both in size and sympathy. His heart
and wallet arc in close connection. and
when tho former is touched the latter
Immediately opens. Naturally, he is
very popular in his bailiwick. where many
men are accustomed to both the ups and
downs of fortune. When they strike
the downs they turn to the big Fellow,
and never. it is said in vain.
1t has been several years since Mr..
Sullivan retired from Congress. He did
so in a fit of something like disgust. At
any rate he was quoted as saying as he
swung himself aboard the train for home
that he would rather be "a hitching post
in New York than a congressman i'll
Washington"
The reason for this feeling may have
had its root in the fact that the republi-
cans at the time were in full control in
Congress. and had shown Indifference to
Mr.. Sulivan's claims upon attention His
talents for legislative work low in the
scale. and he never took the floor in de-
bate. The result was that. unless point
ed out by the guides, whose business re-
quired them to know everybody, Mr.. Sui
livan passed unnoticed
A change seems impending. The DEM
ocrats already have the House, and are
figuring on adding both the Senate and
the presidency to that valuable posses
sion. In which event, the Washington
atmosphere will show Improvement for
democrats; and Mr.. Sullivan is on the
alert. Very likely he is hoping for better
opportunities under Mr. Clark than he
had under Mr.. Cannon, whereby a hitch
ing post in New York will lose some OF
its old-time charm and value.
And yet a national democratic triumph
will disappoint the people if it takes on
to any great degree a Sullivanesque hue
and meaning. The Big Fellow" is a
good fellow in his place and way. His
frienus have every reason to like him.
He remembers his own in the time of
trial. and looks out for the boys at all
times. Such spirit makes for popular
ity everywhere. and Mr. Sullivan is en-
titled to what has come to him as the
result of possessing it.
But with such a man as Mr.. Wilson in
the presidency and such a man as Mr..
Clark in the speakership of the House,
the party will be held to accountability on
their level: and Mr.. Sullivan does not
grade with them either student OF
government, or a practical man of politi-
cal affairs.

Becker's Profits.

\ not unnatural suspicion attaches TO
those plethoric bank accounts which have
been discovered to the credit of Police
Lieut.. Becker of New York and his wife,
Becker. whose salary was something like
s. 800 a year and whose savings dur
ing the past nine months aggregated at
least S1.GUb. There are only two pos
sbilities in case of this kind. Either
the man made" it in speculation, or he
got il in graft. Which is the more piaus-
ible? To make" money in speculation at
e.lc rate Of. say, sl2O.OOO year. regularly
and uninterruptedly. means a remarkable
run OF good luck. or an unfailing source
of "inside information 1t means such
close devotion to the business of buying
and selling stocks on margin that the
player of the game has no time for any
thing else. Any amateur speculator who
takes an occasional f1ier in the market
knows what even such casual indulgences
signify in the matter of time and con-
sideration. But Becker was no "piker,"
no mere occasional customer in the
street if his bank books can be accepted
| as evidence of the regularity with which
| he saved" money. He must have been
| a veritable plunger and one can hardly
see him attending 10 his police duties in
| a manner satisfactory to his superiors-
he was only lieutenant and had a GER
tain formality Of routine to observe-and
simultaneously playing this Wall street
game on the scale which would have been
necessary to pile up winnings at the rate
of at least $4,000 a month. Such an ex-
PLANTATION of the remarkable savings
that have been found to his credit is too
/ severe a tax upon the imagination for a C.
ceptance. Furthermore, if this money was
made in what for the purpose OF the
case may be termed honest speculation.
why was II scattered among SO many
banks. and even under assumed names.
| with every evidence Of a desire to conceal
| the fact Of such exceptional prosperity

The Most Serious of Orchard Pests.

Professor A. L. Melander, entomol-
ogist at the State Agricultural Expert
ment Station at Pullman, has prepared
the following statement and recon-
mendations for combating this insect
in the orchards Of this state.
The woolly aphis is one Of the most
serious of orchard pests. It occus
both on the roots and on the branches
Of apple trees. The form above
ground can be easily killed by spray
ing. A spray Of tobacco, such as the
black leaf dip, one part to sixty-fve
parts OF water, or a kerosene emulsion,
or even a combination spray contain
, ing these two mixed, will easily kill
the aphis on the branches. To make
sure of thorough work, the spray
should be applied with Bordeaux noz-
zles and driven with considerable pres
sure. It is necessary to wet through
the wool Of the insects. If the spray
ing can be thorough, the ordinary sui
phur lime spray will destroy the aphis
above ground.
For the root form there is no salts
factory treatment. Placing ground to-
bacco around the uncovered roots, or
wetting the ground with the tobacco
spray, sulphur lime, or kerosene emul-
sion will kill of a small proportion Of
the root aphis, but is never likely to
give complete satisfaction. The root
aphis does not penetrate deeper than
Is inches below ground. In giving a
root treatment it is best to uncover as
much of the roots as possible before ap-
plying the insecticide. Banding the
trees with tree tangle-foot applied over
band Of cotton will keep the root
form from migrating up the trunk to
locate on the branches. In that way
the branches can be kept free from the
woolly aphis.
When the woolly aphis attacks a
tree the tree is poisoned, swellings &C.
cur even during the first year Of attack
and the tree, as we'll as of the fruit, is
materially stunted. The root form causes
gall like swellings, preventing the root
action and in the course OF few years
causing decay Of the roots. After a
few years the tree is so undermined
and weakened and that it is practically
killed.
The woolly aphis is one of those in
sidious pests which should not be per-
mitted to gain a foothold in the or
chard.

party hero, James G. Blaine; and from
the first ballot he showed more than
three times the strength OF that other
party hero, General Sherman, of Ohio.
Yet in the almost unprecedented strug-
gle Of thirty six ballots, the great Grant
was unable to overthrow the prejudice
against the third term which Washing
ton had so firmly established in the
hearts and minds OF his countrymen.
Thirty-one ballots were taken in that
memorable contest before the name OF
General Garfield of Ohio was even men
toned, and then there was but one in
that whole convention who mentioned
him-but one who voted for him. For
three succeeding ballots he had but
one vote, but on the thirty-sixth ballot,
in spite of the fact that Grant was two
votes stronger than when he started,
the tide Of the opposition united upon
Garfield, and in that thirty-sixth ballot
he was made the party nominee; and
again the third term proposition was
fixed by the American people to be an
established principle and not mere
bugaboo.
In 1888, on the first ballot, General
Sherman led in the republican conven-
ton, while General Harrison was fifth
in the list. And on the eighth ballot,
Harrison had gone from fifth place to
first and secured the nomination.
Taft is as likely to fail on the nomi-
nation, in spite of all his federal patron
age, as was Blaine in 1876. And
Roosevelt is as sure to fail in his quest
for the third term as was Grant through
all his thirty-six ballots in the conven-
ton of 1880.
What then? These are progressive
times. The people demand a cour-
ageous and progressive man. Many
honest and earnest men, fettered with
the chains of partisan prejudice, will
hold to the course Of party precedent
in defiance of the spirit OF progress and
the eternal truth that new occasions
teach new duties. Some dishonest
and cowardly men, drawn by the lure
of patronage, or shrinking from the
lash of the party machine, will do the
bidding of their master.
But in the crisis OF the day there
stands ready, as always, in times OF
stress in this American republic, man
to lead in the battle for newer, wiser,
better things. That man is he who
steadfast to the cause of democracy, to
peoples government, has for twenty
years been unafraid to defy both prece-
dent and machine rule, believing that
the government of the people could
not be taken from the people, and
that the government which belongs to
the people must and shall remain with
the people. His chances to-day are
better than were Hayes in 1876; bet
ter than Garfelds in 1880. And he
has real issue, a great issue, an ct
ernal issue, the peoples issue. His
position before the convention is not
unlike Lincoln's in 1860. Fight on,
LaFollette, fight on.
