Hope for Apple Growers.
Apple growers In recent years have
noticed largely increased damage by
the codling moth. This post appears
in tho form of a small brownish moth
soon after tho young apples have set.
Its eggs, laid on tho side of the ruit
or even on the leaves, give rise to
tiny worms which enter the young
apples and develop into full grown
apple worms.
The annual l;s to apple growprs
in the United States from this pest
alone is enormous. Such a pist could
not long esrape attention from the
scientific sleuths of the Experiment
Stations. These workers have tracked
the beast to its lair, watched its hab
its of life and devised weapons for
its destruction.
A recent bulletin by the Dela
ware Experiment Station shows that
nearly all damage by the codling
moth can be checked by spraying
with a certain arsenical spray called
Disparene. soon after the blossoms fall
from the trees. Applied to trees
It poisons the young Insects in
infancy and prevents further damago
to the crop. It ha3 also been found a
complete and effective remedy for the
canker worm, curcullo and other in
sects that attack orchards and work
great havoc therewith.
in his bulletin, Entomologist San
derson of the Delaware Station, gives
the result ot a careful series of ex
periments in which he says, "Dispa
rene proved to be very much superior
to pails green, and destroyed a larger
percentage of codling moth larvae
than has ever ben done In any simi
lar experiment. One thing which
seems to mo to make Disparene of
.special value Is Its adhesive quali
ties; in spite of very heavy rains it
remained on the tiers nil summer.
The results which we secured from
Disparene were both surprising and
gratifying."
Professor J. n. Smith. Entomologist
of the New Jersey Experiment Sta
tion, adds nis endorsement in these
words. "Disparene has proved thor
oughly ca'lsfactory and safe wher
ever used. My experience with it
has been so satisfactory this year I
have recommended It widely."
Fruit growers are to he congratu
lated that at last a etieap and effec
tive remedy for the codling- moth has
been found. The free Illustrated
pamphlet on Disparene put out by the
itowker Insecticide Company of Hus
ton anil Cincinnati Is a mine of use
ful Information and should bo In tho
hands of every progressive fruit grow
er. We understand the Missouri Val
ley Seed Company. St. Joseph, Mo.,
are now In a position to supply the
western trade with Disparene and the
outlook Is that through the general use
of this insecticide the apple crop of
the middle west will be much larger
and of a better quality this year than
tor nevi-r.il years past.

Frank W. Parry. CVniniisslobtT of tl:e
Natinral Hoard of Trade nnd Secte
:avy of the Interstate Commerce ljivt
convention. A hill has been introduced in the
Hou-e emtxiwering the Interstate Com
merce Commission to regulute rates,
and the organizations hack of Mr.
Harry are attempting to get it through
Congress. It was referred to the Com
mittee on Interstate and Foreign
Commerce, where it is now held up by
the Republican ;ienibers of this com
mittee, working iu the interest of the
rai'n.aiN. Mr. Harry Is confident that
if the bill can be gotten before the
whole House it can he passed, the
pressure in its fator being so great
from all sections of the country that
many Republicans would be compelled
to vote for it. The Democrats, of
course, are In iavor of this bill; in
fact. Hieir leader, Mr. .John Sharp
Wllliiuns, has introduced just such a
bill In the House.
In nn interview in Washington a
l'w days ago Mr. Party said:
"Many railroads object to auy and
all legislation which may seem to cur
tail their unlimited freedom from gov
ernment regulation or control. They
desire free license in the conduct of
tneir affairs. They seem to be able, in
this Congress, as they have been for
a number of years, through their con
trol of committee members to pre
vent even consideration by Congress
of any measure which does not meet
their approval. I think they are short
sighted in exercising such power
which is derived solely on account of
lack of Information on the part of Un
people generally, as to how things are
done at the capitol and 1 believe that
ht fore long, they w ill commence to
rean the harvest that they have sown.
"Ever since the decision of tho Su
preme court, which stripped the Inter
state Commerce Commission of the
power to correct rates which it may
tliul to be unjust or unlawful power
which it exercised with the most bene
llcent results for about ten years after
the law wa.i eimcted. In 1SS7 the com
mercial and manufacturing interests
of the country have been persistently
pleading with Congress to so amend
the law, with respect to the defect
found by the Supreme court, as to
restore necessary power to the com
mission. Bills have been Introduced
in the last three Congresses to this
end. In the last Congress the so-called
"Elklns law, which was hut u por
tion of the measure advocated by or
ganized shippers, was enacted. It has
produced excellent results, in prevent
ing dlscriminatnoiis in favor of in
dividuals and snipers have profited,
morally; but the principal and most
substantial benefit has been derived
by the railroads. We are now striv
ing for legislation to further amend
the law. so as to stop discriminations
in favor of localities and classes of
freight nnd prevent the exaction of
unreasonable charges.
"I believe there is no subject be
fore the present Congress which Is of
such great Importance in the minds
of the people as this question of gov
ernment regulation of transportation
rates. The people realize, more and
more every day. that the cost of trans
portation is actually a tax, which
must he paid by every man, woman
and child, upon everything that they
eat, wear or buy, and that this tax Is
Imposed under existing conditions, not
by the government, our duly recogniz
ed taxing power, but at the will of a
few men who control 'he transporta
tion systems of the country, whom
the government or tho I'nitetl States
cannot restrain in the exercise of this
enormous and arbitrary power. The
neople know that, merely upon the
principle: ' We need the money," the
railroads have, within the past three
years, made general advances in rates,
which, In lfW3. brought to the lines
operating in tho eastern and central
states, a revenue of JUJ.Ourt.Ooo more
than they received for the same ser
vice In 10on. It does not seem proper
or wise to permit such taxing power
to remain entirely outside of the con
trol of our national government. The
people realize that, In consideration
of valuable franchises and privileges
received from them, the law holds the
"common carrier "and "public servant"
subject to duties and obligations very
different from those imposed upon
ordinary business concerns, an 1 they
feel that while there exists a certain
right of control by the government
over the conduct of the "arteries of
commerce." It Is now insufficient or
Improperly exercised. This sentiment
Is rapidly nnd forcibly growing. While
a man may be exempt from, or even
evade payment of taxes on reul es
tate or personal property, he well
knows that he has got to "pay the
freight." Realizing this fact, he be-con-es
directly and Intensely Interest
ed In the subject of government regti
lutlon of traii8xirtation rates, and this
question certainly forces Itself upon
us as a ltal Issue in national legisla
tion. "As evidence of I he feeling that
now exists It Is necessary only to
point to the fact that the present Con
gress has before It concurrent return

petitioning for IMs legislation;
like petitions from over forty nation

who Is earnestly iIcmioiis of .eiving

"Since the opening of the special
session of the CSth Cong-ess. list No
ti'tiiuV?. and up to the present date,
the Congressional Record reports
niitiKious petitions and memorials
filed every day, with the exception of
three Issues. I believe, bearing upon
this subject. I'tuler such circum

should be evinced to meet an 1 solve
the question. The opposition that we
are encountering merely demon -trates
plainly the poer of obstruction
wielded by the railroads."
IN A FINANCIAL TANGLE.
Result of Republican Bad Manage
ment and Waste.
When the present Congress was or
ganized the com in it tee.-, were apxiint
ed with an eye to economy. At least
so the leaders of the Republican party
said, and it really .seemed that they
were going to try and keep down the
appropriations. It was thought to be
a good political card to play, to so
cut down the expenses of the govern
ment or to appear to Uo so. that the
oruans and spellbinders might en
large on this uiiusr.ul streak of econ
omy in the coming campaign. There
was another reason for reducing ap
propriations that could not be avoid
ed, namely, the receipts of the goterti
nient were falling off and the Secre
tary of the Treasury had warned Con
gnss there would be no surplus, and
perhaps a deficiency, during the next
two fiscal years, unless Congress was
very economical.
The statement of the conditions of
the t'nited States treasury on Feb. 24
shows an available cash balance of
$2.",1 37.0.T8. But the greater part of
this amount Is not In the treasury,
for the national batiks hold Jlti:'.
371.150. There Is also in the Philip
pine treasury $.".7S'M 1.", and Ill.SoU,
iT'i in subsidiary silver, which can
only be used to supply the banks for
small change. Deducting these three
nonmailable amounts from the sum
stated as the available cash balance,
it will be found that only $ t.'i.lo.i.L".i7
remain as the actual available cash.
It has always been considered neces
sary by former Secretaries of the
Treasury to keep at least fifty million
dollars actual balance to meet the de
mands as they fall due. so that the
present administration is facing a di
lemma thai is causing President and
cabinet considerably uneasiness. Tu
add to their financial troubles, it Is
necessary to provide fifty millions to
pay for the Panama canal. The next
step will be to issue bonds. Hut to
issue bonds just before the national
election would not jibe with the daily
boast that the treasury u overflowing
wi'h cash and that government ami
people were never so prosperous.
After many Folemn cabinet confer
ences, it was determined that the na
tional banks must repay 2" per cent
of the public money they hate on de
posit and on which they are paving
no interest and so tide over this un
comfortable financial trouble until
alter election. Secretary Shaw, it Is
stated plainly, told the President that
the national banks would not dis
gorge without some promise of future
aid from the treasury when the usual
money pinch conies at the end of the
year. It Is said he was doubtless au
thorized to assure Wall street that
bonds will ba Issued at the earliest
possible moment and the proceeds
left on d'-poslt with the favored banks
If they would repay $:;ii,Uimi,ihiij now
towards the $."i(i.imi(I.iioii for the canal.
But If the bunks repay $:!ii,iiihi,iiiiii,
and l.'Ofmb.ooii ()f the actual cash In
the treasury is added and used to pay
for the canal, it will only leave a lit
tle over $2.-.,immi,imm for current ex
penses. Hence the necessity for reduced ap
propriations and the fear of the fall
ing off in revenues, for the Repub
lican leaders feel they are financially
skating on thin ice.
The national banks will soon recu
perate from the 2u per cent call now
made on them, as the first issue of
bonds to provide money to build the
canal will probably be J lOil.OOil.iinil
and this vast sum can be deposited
with the banks until gradually needed
in Panama.
Those who imagine that the banks
will be called upon to repay from time
to time the public money they hold
will soon find that no such ordinary
business sagacity rules the manage
ment of the Culled States treasury.
There would be no graft for the
banks and no donation by the bank
ers to the Republican campaign fund
under such common sense manage
ment. A bond Issue offers the double
graft of profit on the bonds and free
cash for the banks.

HYMN OF THE WEST.
The Poet Stedman Has Written the
World's Fair Hymn and It Has
Been Set to Music.
Western folk will be charmed by
the beautiful hymn written by Ed
mund Clarence Stedman upon the in
vitation of the World's Fair manage
ment. He calls it the "Hymn of the
West." a title befitting so splendid a
production. It has five stanzas, and
IVof. John K. Paine of Harvard I'ni
veislty, has written the music, which
is no less grand. The first public ren
dering of this hymn will be on the
opening day of the great exposition,
Saturday, April ?,u, when a drilled
chorus of Gun voices will sing it.
Other musical compositions specially
written upon invitation of the
World's Fair management are a
march by Frank Vanderstuken, di
rector of the Cincinnati orchestra,
and a waltz by Henry K. Hailey of
near neighbors, I managed to read a
fw paragraphs in my newspaper.
One of them told of a remarkable
find by a Nippur expedition of the
University of Pennsylvania. It was
noth'ng less than a well preserved
and thoroughly authenticated tailor's
bill nearly o.Ooo years old.
Since bimmelstein himself Is en
gaged in the clothing business. I
thought ho would be Interested in this
ancient relic, so I told him about It
but the story seemed to make no im
pression on him.
"Hang It. man," said I. "don't you
understand? It s a tailor's bill almost
o.nuu years old."
"Veil," he answered, "vot issi It
good for? Dey cant gollect it."

One of the House Pages.
Congressman Hardwick, the boyish
looking man from Georgia, has had
the experience that has befallen o'ln r
youthful statesmen. He was stand

bring me that paper that Is lying or.

the clerk's error, the Georgian did as
requested. Half au hour later the
chair recognized "the gentleman from
Georgia." and to the surprise ami
mortification of the rending clerk, Mr
Hardwick, the beardless hoy, who
had performed messenger duty a short
time previous, arose and delivered a
long speech on the race problem in t!:g
