WASHINGTON From our Keelr Correspondent. WashiiiRtoti, D. C, April 20, 190.S. The instruction of Delaware's delegation for judge George, Gray and the outspoken opposition to Mr. Bryan in the New York state convention have aflorded renewed hope to the anti-Bryau Democrats, who predict that they will experi ence little difficulty in cornering the necessary third of the conven tion to prevent th nomination of the great Nebraskati. The Delaware platform is also a source of satis faction to the Democrats in Wash ington, especially its arraignment of the Republican party for having, by its iniquitous tariff, enhanced the cost of living out of all propor tion to any increase of wages which the common people of the country have enjoyed. , AH the indications point strongly to the tariff plank as being the fctronsrest in the Democratic plat form, regardless of who may be the nominee of the Denver convention The absolute unwillingness of the Republican party to lower the tar iff bars, even where they are obvi ously fostering outrageous monop olies, and even the inability of the Republicans, despite the fact that they have two thirds of the entire Senate, to ratify any reciprocity treaty because of the influence of the protected interests will be dwelt upon and it is believed that with the difficulties which confront every householder in his efforts to provide properly for his family in times of "Republican prosperity" the appeal will not be in vain. The people of the United States owe a debt of gratitude to John Sharp Williams and the Democrat ic minority in the House which stood out valiantly against Presi dent Roosevelt's four battleship programme in the naval appropria tion bill. The House has author ized the construction of two battle ships at a cost of approximately $6,000,000 each and the Democrats maintained, with a show of reason which for once seemed to prevail with their Republican colleagues, that it would be criminal to sacdle the American people with double that sum for naval construction and all the subsequent expense which two additional ships would entail. When it is realized that the modern battleship requires a crew of ap proximately i.ooo men, it is easily appreciated what a heavy expense each additional ship means to the country. Representative Tawney, chair man of the committee on Appropri ations, predicts that there will be a deficit of $150,000,000 next year but that has not prevented the passage by the Republicans of a widows' pension bill which increas es the annual cost of pensions by $12,000,000. Last year the pension list cost the country $140,000,000 and now with $12,000,000 added, the cost will be brought up to ap proximately $150,000,000. It has been pertinently remarked by Dem ocratic statesmen that if the Re publican administration is sincere in its appeals for a more liberal pol icy with regard to the army and the navy it should demonstrate at least a slight degree of conscien tiousness in distributing the peo ple's money in the form of pensions and not spread it broadcast for the sole purpose of insuring Republi can votes at elections. The President has cast a bomb shell into the camp of his partisan friends in Congress by vetoiug the Rainy River bill and in so doing announcing a policy wholly adverse with everything which in the past has stood lor Republicanism. Mr. Roosevelt announces that he will approve 110 bill which gives away valuable special privileges to private concerns and demands no return to the people and places no limitation on the recipients. Heretofore, the party in power has distributed such special privileges as the right to , How's This?

Mr. Roose velt points to the immense value of these privileges and the thousands of dollars which it is necessary to tax the people in order to improve the waterways of the country and pertinently asks why the private beneficiaries should not pay an ad equate return for their privileges, such returns to be expended on the waterways, and he clearly intimates that there must be some such pro vision in every measure of this character which is to receive his approval. Moreover, he insists that every such grant must be limited so that it shall revert, in time, to the government that future genera tions may dispose of it as they may see fit and for the best interests of the community. Had this policy been pursued from the foundation of the Government the returns would by uow be sufficient to meet all the expenses of the national government. Congress is preparing to adjourn on May 16 with scarcely a third of the legislation recommended by the President enacted and the Presi dent declares that he is too good a party man to precipitate fight in the Republican rank? by interpos ing obstacles to the programme of the majority in Congress.

Another notable art feature of this magazine is a full-page reproduc tion of William Balfour Ker's painting, "Memories." An aged Civil War veteran is carrying his company's colors in a Decoration Day parade, his eyes almost closed in reverie.

It In an Interesting tale that comes from Madrid, to the effect that the ycuthful King, the buoyant and Im pressionable Alfonso, la grievously henpecked. HU wife, Victoria, Is a granddaughter of the late and good and great Queen Victoria, and doubt less the younger Queen Inherits from the elder certain of those forceful personal qualities which did so much to steady the Kngllsh ship of state. It la tlways aid to see one so young and care-free and lrrldescent as was Alfonso In his boyish bachelor days brought up, ahort, In spite of his crown. If reiorta are true, then no more for li'm tho primrose pathof Jalllnnce cr any other path except the s.ralght and stony one. No more the free and easy fandango danced with choice spirits, no more the merry bull-fight, for the ycung Queen, his dearly loved better half, and more, has set her generous Anglo-Saxon foot down upon these pastimes hard and fast. Alfonso must now be good and dutiful, or Victoria must know the reason why. It seems that she has offended about half his kinsfolk and two-thirds of his olj courtiers. Not only Is she prudent I manage ment of the King, but cautious In her outlay of the household expenses. She has as good as told a score of regular foedllngs at the palace to put on their old hats and to away to eat. Her patrician nose Bhe has turned up at the national sport, therefore offending many of the gay est patrons of the bull ring. She "alls bull-fighting "butchering," and absolutely refuses to lend her royal presence to the sport. She went once and almost started a family feud by holding her hands over her eyes when the torreador, In ell the glory of his pink sash anu knee breeches gave the bull the grand kibosh with his polished rapier. It is a pity to see a jaunty young man like Alfonso XIII. gradually blirtvel until he Is nothing more than h timid married man with enough re. spnnslbllltles upon his shoulders to sink a ship. But such is life, the world over. There are crosses even In tho King busluess. Odd Doings of Kurtliworrrm. Ever since Darwin wrote his re markable book on earthworms, the general public has taken an Interest In those lowly creatures. Every body has observed thousands of them on the cement walks during and after a rain; but the true cause o: these remarkable wanderers Is cot often written about. The fact Is that earthworms can move about only when the ground and the grass lb vet. The truth of this Ls easily shown by placing an earthworm on some dry sand, when the dry grains will stick to its slimy skin -nd make it helpless. All living things are endowed with the instinct to move and spread over the earth. Human beings, higher animals, and birds prefer to move about In fair weather. To the earth, worm and other lowly creatures like frogs, salamanders, slugs and land snails, rainy uays are the only days for traveling. When the sun conies ou' and dries the roads and the meadows they withdraw Into their hiding places. As earthworms can. not see clearly, they crawl about In an aimless sort of way. If they hap pen to get on a board or cerrit walk, when the sky clears away they aoon die and shrivel up. When a dry season or winter ap proaches, the earthworm burrows deeper into the ground. At depth varying from six inch'), to two feet each worm colls up In a 11UU ball. By the aid of secretive slime It makes a rate of dirt around Itself, and In this state it remains dormant until abundant rains or the spring thaw ct.Ha It back to more active life , TT TT FR tl ti , .

Surface Ready to Show the Farmer Remedr The coddling moth must go. State Economic Zoologist Surface Monday announced that he was ready to begin public demonstra tions of up-to-date spraying for the destruction of this fruit growers' pest. The demonstrations will be held at the orchards maintained by the State in various cou ities. Dr. Surface says the coddling moth damages the apples, pears and quinces of Pennsylvania to the ex tent of a quaiter million dollars a year. He said; "Means to kill this pest are so simple and cheap that it is a won der that our people have not risen against it long ago. Any arsenical poison will do the work. The trees should be sprayed as soon as the blossoms fall and shortly thereafter. Don't spray when the flowers are blooming. The moth bites only what are known as the 'pome' fruits. It does not attack 'stone' fruits, like peaches. "Our apple crop is so valuable that we must proceed against the moth, and I hope that the spraying will be the means ot sav ing thousands of dollars a year to our fruit growers. "lam also planning a series of experiments to see how late trees can be sprayed for San Jose scale with safety. I will use some of my own trees for this demonstra tion." Sound Advice. Anne Steese Richardson gives some pertinent advice to girls look ing for employment, in the May Woman's Home Companion. "Tell the employer," she says, "what you think you can do, not what you have done at home or in school, nor why you need the position. He wants to know whether you can write legibly, spell correctly, figure accurately and are strong enough to serve him so many hours a day, so many days a week. If this man has his own and his employer's in terests at heart he will regard you as he does a bolt of fine silk on the shelves' outside his office. This sounds almost brutal. It sounds as if you were no better than the dry goods upon the shelf. Well, when you get right down to facts, that employer is taking just as great a chance in hiring you, an untrained girl whom he must train at his firm's expense, as he is in buying a bolt of silk that may or may not find favor with the firm's custom ers. If you do the work, he is glad to pay you the money you need. If you cannot do the work, then perhaps for a second he feels sorry for you, but he argues that a charity organization to which his firm contributes should look after your case. A store, factory or of fice is a beehive of industry, not a refuge for incompetents in distress."
