Many of the huropeau newspapeit
severely denounce the I'nited Mates for
its action in the peace congress. They
evidently do not like the example set by
America first, to soundly tlitashiug
ibeiiencmy and pay liiin millions for the
fun had in doing it. Spain never did
such a thing in the whole course of ber
iiatioiial existence, and she has con
(iii'ied many cutiutries. Neither did
France nor Germany, but both those
countries seem to have forgotten de
mands made upon the former by the lat
ter at the conclusion of the Franco-tier
man war, and that was not so Terr long
ago, either. According to history the
usual custom of Kurupeau nations has
I coii to conquer a nation aoJ then make
it pay roundly for the labor aud ex
pensu of so doing. France can vouch
for the truth of this assertion.
I'iseiiseiiig agricultural resources iu
our new possessions, Secretary Wilson
s.iyj: "In the territories recently
brought under the control of the I'nited
Mates government, agricultural inter
J ests urgently call for atteutiou by this
department. Hawaii and the West In
dian islands depend almost exclusively
for their prosperity upon their agricul
tural productions. It behooves the de
partment, therefore, to place itself at
the earliest moment possible iu a posi
tion to extend to the agriculturists of
those territories which have come under
the I'nited Mates dig the services and
be tit fits which it renders to the farmers
of the I'nited States.
"The increased trade relations which
maybe looked for between the I'nited
Mates and its insular dependencies,
moreover, render the conditions of agri
culture iu the latter, aud the character
and extent of their productions, matters
of profouud iuto est to the people of the
I'nited Mates. In the interest of our
own agriculture not only must the ag-
ricultural resources of these islands then
i,e studied cloeelv and intelligently, but
the dangers which threaten agricultore
in these territories in the form of plant
diseases and insect pests must be made
the sutject of special investigation, with
a view to provide agriculture there with
preventive or remedial agencies, and
also to secure our own agriculture from
the possibility of their introduction into
this country. It is . urgently necessary,
Uierelore, that congress should, as
speedily as possible, provide a fund for
the use of this department in making
such investigations as may le necessary
into the agricultural interests and condi
tions iu Hawaii, l'orto Rico, Cuba and
the l'hilippiues."'
After quoting an article from the a
leui tatcsmau wherein it stated that
in bidding ou a contract for 1000 tons of
irou piping for Glasgow, the local firms
were under bid several hundred pounds
by a l'hiladelpuia company, aud then
when all bids were rejJcted, and new
bids solicited, the l'hilidelphia firm was
again the lowest bidderr and secured a
portiou of the cci t act, the Review
says :
This news Leui shows how unneces
sary the "protective" tariff of the re
publican party is. Here we have Amer
ican manufacturers going into the very
home of the European competition and
successfully defying it. Why then do
then do these manufacturers desire this
high tariff duty maintained?
The answer is easy. It in to enable
the home manufacturers, who have to
pay their employes better wages than do
the European firms, to develop the re
sources of this country to such an ex
tent that they can compete with the
old world manufacturers on their own
ground. We ask tba Revipw, or any
free trade paper, if it ever heard of an
American firm under bidding an Eng
lish or iScotch iron manufacturer before
the building up of that industry in this
country by reason of a protective tariff?
Again the Review reprints an article
on the tin plate question from that
rabid free-trado journal, the .Chicago
Tribune, and facetiously or iguorantly
remarks:
Here we have a leading republican
paper giving its readers some genuine
democratic tariff arguments that are un
answerable. The Review thcu concludes as follows:
Tho utter usoluseuess of a "protec
tive" tarill' upon our products should be
apparent to every person possessed of a
modicum of seuee.
After reading the arg union ta of thti
Review it is painfully apparent that
every person not possessed of even "a
modicum of sense, " is not dead ytt.

"Why an applicant lor a janituiship in

Referendum Carried.
A Sioux Falls, D., despatch says
The elate of South Dakota is (ho hut
in the union to adopt the referendum.
The adoption of this proposition at tue
recent election, came in the nature of a
surprise. The returns show that not
more than 00 per cent of the voters cast
their ballots on the amendment. The
majorities for the Republican caudidate,
with the exception ol Governor, ranged
between 3000 and oOOO, aud, as the sen
timent of the party was to a great eteut
opposed to the initiative and referen
dum, it was expected it would not car
ry.
The populists indorsed it iu their plat
form and advocated it from tho stump
before the Omaha platform was drafted,
wherein the.lNational party made the
referendum one of its issues. The resol
utions committee of tlie republican state
convention suggested the careful study
of the plan by republicans with a view
of securiog Intelligent action thereou.
As a result of the adoption of tin ref
erendum at the recent electiou, au es
pecially interesting condition of affairs
exists at the present time. Lee, the
fusiou candidate for governor, has been
elected, while the necessary two-thirds
majority in both brauches of the Lgie
lat ure to carry a measure oer the gov
ernor e veto.
Under the provisions of tho initiative
and referendum, if any law ib passed by
the legislature objectiouable to the peo
ple, a petition mav be circulated, and
if 5 per cent oi the voters sign U the act
must be submitted to the eople for rati
fication before it is spread on the stat
utes. It is therefore eyidout that the repub
licans will experience some difficulty in
enacting iuto law bills which the gover
nor may veto.
End of Algcrism.
KeWcw of Boric" .
The most urgently needed reform is
the absolute divorcement of the army in
all of its departments from politics. It
is absurd to expect the same thorough
efficiency and preparation found in
other departments of the public service
unless the Bame methods are used.
Military service is certainly as important
as civil service more so in the time of
emergency. Its administration ought to
be conducted with the same siugle eye
to efficiency, and no department of the
array should be more exempt from
political influence than the staff. This
points at once to the most urgent reform
viz., make the commanding general the
real working head of the army,' instead
of the secretary of war. No good results
have come to the service by the extension
of the secretary's powers in Grant's first
administration. Most of the evils
of the service can be traced to the fact
that the general commanding has since
that time been practicallyd deprive of his
proper functions, and tho real head of
the army baa been a politician, usually
not versed in military science. Pro
motions in the eeryice should never de
pend npon political influence in any tie
p&r!2i, sor should !h? rco?i!!i!en'J?.
tions of a politician carry any weight in
the military service more than they
would in those offices filled through the
civil service examinations alone. The
restoration of its proper functions to the
office of the general commanding, as
Grant exercised them when he was
commander-in-chief, would be a long
step in the right direction. It would
put the administration of the army iu
the hands of a soldier, aud that would
be an origin of all other necessary ad
ministrative reforms.

that also have double office to perform,
They assist I ho in dii roots to keep their
hold In Iho ground and conduct food lo
them. Fourth, Ihn fiber roots that
come out from the others like hairs, and
epii'Ully from the small outs. They
assist the other roots rmaewhal In their

It to take up the moisture aud nitrogen
aud deliver it to the other roots lo be
taken up as food by a valvular or capil
lary procora to Iho tree to form lbs
trunk, lop slid leaves, and with these
properties together with the alkaline
and sacharinn constituent lo produce
the liuit.
The Iravr are termed the lungs ol
tho tree. They locelve th oxygen and
hydrogen bout Iho air, shade the tender
pulpy growth nl now twig through their
growing season, preventing thtlr shrivel

Tho leaves havn 1 In n finished their mis

other salt ol the earth lo entlcb the
soil for next year's growth.
Tree that annually drop their leaves
are called deciduous Iree on thai' ac
count. Fruits from mot ol Ibis class
contain acetic acid and will make vine
gar. The term vinegar originated In
England, a product mado from the vine,
tirst called vine gar. Acetlo acid Is that
product iu its purosl aud strongest state.
Tho clssa of fruits called citrus Irult,
such aa tho orange, lemon, lime, etc.,
contain only citric acid aud will not
make vinrgtr. Tho most ol this class of
fruits, together with the banaua, palm
aud other like trees are tropical or semi
tropical trees and for duties assigned
above, retain their leave the year
rouud.
The tree glows mostly from the outer
suifaco. The soft, pulpy matter be
