It is claimed that the people of
the United States ate 173.000,000
bushels of apples last year. We
have over 200,000,000 apples trees
in this country. The physicians
say that it is one ot the most
wholesome of all fruits, and the
good digestion of the American
people is due in no small degree
to the fact that we are a nation
of apple eaters.

appears to us thrt in time the helms

ashamed of the fact that Howell
pays no attention to his denuncia
tions. Tile Constitution perhaps
feels that it is the mastiff that
does not have to heed the yelping
of the small pack.

Mrs. Julia O’Toole has been the
subject of much press comment
because a supreme court in one of
our northern states reversed a de
cision of a lower court because the
former held that Mrs. O’Toole was
“good looking” and had therefore
unduly influenced the jury. This
is the first American woman
whose beauty has been put on re
cord in the Supreme court decis
ions of any of our states, ^Though
Mrs. O’Toole has lo«t some money
by the decision she has gained a
victory from a beauty point of view,
Castro’s resignation of the pres
idency of Venezuela was unani
mously rejected by the National
congress of that country. Castro
must be a billionaire to be able to
bribe every member of the legisla
ture. The politicians in this
country know better. They only
pay out enough to gain a bare ma
jority and thus save coin and at
the same time lessen the sem-
blance of bribery. There is a lot
for this bold bad man to still learn.

The Irish leaders are willing to ac
cept the bill with a few modifica
tions. They believe that the a-
mount allowed the land lord is too
much. If the bill is passed, and
it is believed that it will, it will be
a long stride towards home rule
for Ireland. A consummation de
voutly to be wished.
The arbitration board of the
strike difficulty in its award gave
to the miners a number of conces
sions and it is claimed by the Un
ionists that the award is a recog
nition of their organization. The
board took a middle ground in ma
king its awards, giving to each
side some of the things demanded.
It is probable that this middle
course will keep down the trouble
in the anthracite fields for some
time though of course neither side
is thoroughly pleased.
The Irish Land Bill has recent
ly been introduced in the house of
Commons in England. The bill
provides for the loaning of money
to the tenants on the estates of the
landlords in Ireland with which
funds the tenants are to buy the
land on which they live. The
money is to be loaned by the govs
ernment at a small rate of interest.
it gives us the ague to think
about it. The gove r nor of New
York is to be sent by the state to
attend the dedication of the build
ings of the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition on April 30and May 1
and 2. The trip will cost $50,-
000.00 and the state of New York
foots the bill. Since we can’t
afford an exhibit to this great fair
we think it well for the legislature
to pass a bill forb.ding the pub
lishing of any such extravagance
by papers of this, our empire state
of the South.
Secretary ot War Root has ig
nored the charges made by Estes
G. Rathbone against Gen. Wood,
in which it is alleged that Gen.
Wood received presents from Span
ish gentlemen who were conduct
ing the demoralizing gambling
game of Jai Alai. We think that
in ignoring the charge the Secre
tary of war has done Gen. Wood
an irreparable injury. While we
do not believe that Gen. Wood is
guilty of taking a virtual bribe, if
he is guilty he should be brought
to justice and if as we believe, the
charge was brought against the
soldier through malice, it is only
due him that he should be entire
ly exonerated and every stigma of
doubt removed from the public
mind. It is believed by all in au
thority that the presents accepted
by Gen. Wood, were from persons
who were not interested in the
game. At any rate the friends of
the distinguished soldier hold that
it in no wise affected any legisla
tion which might h ave had any
bearing upon the promoters of the
gambling scheme.
The New York World, discuss
ing England's financial scandal,
says: “That Whitaker Wright,
now under arrest in this city, has
as shareholders in his burst bubble
of corporation finance, Premier
Balfour, the Earl of Warwick and
a score-of lesser lords and notables
as exclusively shown in the World
yesterday, will shock the British
public, but less than if it were not
accustomed to the spectacle of
noble earls acting as guinea pigs
and long lineaged viscounts scram
bling for Lombard street commis
sions. A deeper wound is felt in
the fact the King’s physician, Sir
James Reid, and even his own
brother, the Duke of Connaught,
are caught in the same failure.
Thus is not only one near to roy
alty, but royalty Itself implicated,
with however innocent motives,
in an enterprise that at its best
could only have been reckless
gambling, that at its worst has
impoverished thousands. It can
not tail to harm in public estima
tion in and out ot England ,the
dynasty and monarchy.”
