SENATOR QUAY The careful historian who weighs the acta of men as they affect tor good or evil the community or the nation, and impress themselves on the publio mind as Incentives to a higher morality or tend to lower the tone and standard of popular thought and action, will find in the life of the senator who has just passod away to rendor his account bofore the highest judgment seat something both to commend and -condemn. No human life is free from the latter quality and those who live largoly in the publio eye and whose every act is closely scan ned and whose motive are evor subject to question by his opponents must needs incur harsh judgments His friends and followers will find in his life muoh to commend and see virtue whore others find only vice. That Senator Quay was great In some qualities of mind his most vigorous enemies will admit, fie was persistent, steadfast, resource fal and a master of politics. He was a born leader of men. He would probably have admitted that in many instances doubtful means Justified the ends. From his view point there was no other way to accomplish a result whiou in hi opinion would be of great publio utility. Weighed as a statesman he Cannot be said to have ever originat ed any large publio measure, but his oonnsel was potent in shaping the trend of publio affairs. He was politician in the widest and fullest if not in the best sense of the word McKinley was a politician but his mind moved along a different plane Senator Quay was preeminently a friend to the office seeker and by means of this he built up a most cohesive and compact politioa machine in this state in whioh h was the acknowledged power. He was feared by enemies, tradnood by foes, maligned by many, loved by friends and won in a measure the respect of all for certain qualities of leadership whioh he manifested Over his acts whioh have been so luuy commented on we pass no publio judgmont. His life work is now before the student of history his motives, save as they are mani test in his acts are forever oonoeal ed, it is for us to say of the dead nothing but good. Iit each one draw from his life such lesson as may, remem boring only that with such measure of mercy as he judges he may be judged. Supervisors of the river townships will have to reoognize the fact th;it the main road is too narrow for safe traveling and in several plaoes nhort turns and wayside hushes prevent seeing ahead. Ou a thoroughfare so much used by vehicles of all kinds, including automobiles, it is Obsential to the Hafuty of the traveling publio that the way be made wider aud nil obstructions to vision removed so far as possible. A little judgment in working the roads would obviate much of this difficulty without tuy extra coat. The day has come when there id an absolute uesesolty fur this improvement and if roud offi cials do not respond to the demand there may bo trouble and expense in ature for tln.-iu. Prudent citizens of ti.e townships will ad'uit this slate Of fact and it b hooves them to ui'e vv:.s-d--iut;-. u vf tin UnitUT. It is not only a quoRtion of eolf Interest but al80 ono of imWio occasion. Automobiles will nse the ronds nd thoy hfivo rights. It is no nun to eery them or abuse the drivers if thoy exorcise proper cnution in run ning their machine. Talk against thorn will not avail. They are bore ot only to remain but to increase in number anil road conditions must bo made reasonably safe for them and those driving teams. The pru dent supervisor will see that this is done so far as may be possible. The act of 1889, repealing the first section of the fence law of 1700 which required cornfields, etc., to be enclosed with a fence ot speciGed height, removed the obligation theretofore existing to protect crrps from cattle or horses of others. If a farmer sees proper he may neglect to build fonces, save for his own purposes in caring for his stock, and also his share of line fences, and if he does 89 elect he can reoover damages for trespass by roving oat tie of his neighbors. This, in brief, makes it incumbent for every man to care for his own Btock atd see that it does no damage to the orops of others. This law, while con demned by many, is in communities generally an economy. Formerly a farmer was compelled to build and maintain fences at a great expense to protect his crops, probably in many cases the cost of the fence greatly exceeded in value the roving herds he feared, and his neighbor oould turn out his cattle at will knowing there could be no recovery against him for the fences were not of a lawful height. Now it is in cumbent for every man to be at the expense of caring for his own stock and the farmer who has no stock or keops it confined is saved the trouble and expense of building and main taining many rods of fence which serves him no useful purpose. Owing to the generous policy of the Erie offering reduced rates to those prospeoting for summer homes and the liberal advertising of the people of thissection the town never before, was so filled on Memorial day with parties seeking a place to spend the summer. All the hotels open were orowded to their utmost capaoity and many engaged rooms for the season, Both the Erie and our business men have got hold of the right end of this matter, and their oombined effort already shows great praotioal result. Look After the Post If catapillar nests appear on the fruit trees they should be destroyed. A ball of twine, or a rag, soaked in kerosene attached to a pole will enable one to burn them out. The San Jose scale infests many trees and nnlesa measures are taken to destroy the pest the trees will be killed. The currant worm is. now apt to trouble the bushes. Pow dered hellebore dusted over them is effective. A pepper box, or any small tin can with perfora tions in the bottom, can be used. The remedy is simple and cheap and no one should allow the bushes to be destroyed. Currants are an excel lent and most healthy fruitjand eaten with sugar or baked in pies are not bad to take.
