New Raspberry Pest A raspberry pest, which is com paratively new, haa appeared, and ia liable to do considerable damage in different sections of Pennsy Ivanir. Raspberry canes, girdled by this pest, bsve been received by State Zoologist Surface, at bia office in Harrisburg, and in reporting on their condition, the Professor said: "They have been girdled by an insect known aa tbe raspberry-cane borer (Oberia bimaoulata). The thing to do ia to out off the twigs juat below the lower punotnre and burn them. . This will cause the plant to throw out aide branches, and tbe damage will not be so crest. It ii a comparatively new pest in this State, and lu some sections is entirely new It would be well for all rasp berry growers to onlte for its sup pression by catting off and bnrning jbe injured branobes at this time of the year, as there is praotically nothing else that can be done to I check its development and prevent its spreading." The Plum Gurculio A well known Philadelphia attor ney having a country place, sent to Professor Surface, the State Zoologist Harrisburg, specimens of peaches and apples which indicated, as be express ed It, that the trees seemed "to re quire some treatment'.

NEWS FROM WASHINGTON President Tsft hss wn his fight f r tsrift revision downward. . The stand pat" forceaof the Senate and the House have gone down to defeat. The unholy alliance between Speaker Cannon and ex representative Lit. tauer has come to naught. Tbe cor porations of the country are to be made to subject their affairs to the c ear light of publicity. Justice ia to done to the Filipinos. The people will receive some benefit from a gen uine tariff revision and the Republic n party, unless tt'a new leader William Howard Taft has demons! ra. and a capacity tp pithstatid the influence of evil and. present a solid oppi gition to the powerful prenmre exerted by lobbies of the protected in terests. Thee arc toe resulia ot tbe agreement on the tariff bill which has finally been resched by tbe coh ferrees and which remains only to be confirmed, as it unquestionably will be, by the Republican majorities In the two houtes of Coiurps. It required a letter from the Presl d -nt to the conferrees, in which, in simple but straighttorward terms he declaied that if tbe rate on rough lumber was placed above $1,25 a thousand feet aud the. rates on women's gloves were increased a bove the Dingley law he would "re ject" the bill, to bring the conferrees to their senses and Induce them to provide for that measure of revision downward which Mr. Taft deemed essential When the time came to write the lettet the President did not hesitate to take the step, however, and the result is one of which all Republicans may well feel proud. The number of reductions contained in the completed bill is far greater thafi is generally supposed or than the public has had an oppertunity to discover. Chairman Payne baa pre sen ted the reea'ts In an effective manner. He shows tbat the dot lea bsve been lowered on $5,000,000 worth of goods used by the people, while they have been increased on $850,000 worth. To arrive at this comparison he takes the year 1905 as a basis of comparison which ia entire ly consistent with the position he has taken- alt ahrttg THsf trieffguresW 1907 do not present a fair basis of comparison for the reason that that was a decidely exceptional year. Mr. Payne shows, moreover, thtt the In onascs fall on $579,000 worth of Inxuries, which constitutes two thirds of all the increases. In further exemplification of his contention that the bill constitutes genuine revision of thn tariff, Mr. Payne points out that In a number of instances the duties were so high as to be prohib itive, that, therefore, there were no Importations and in calculating the reductions now and taking the im portations oi any year under the Dingley law as a basis It is impossi ble to show how much the people will be benefited because the reduct ions made will greatly increase the imporaation of those goods which are necessities, so that 'figures made year hence, for Instance, would ahow a still larger percentage of decrease on goods used by the people. Tbe reductions In the metals schedule should benefit every citizens of the country for everyone uses metal ia sane form, from a penknife to a plow. The rate on iron ore ia de creased from 40 cents to 15 cents a ton; on pig iron from $4 to $2 60 a ton, on scrap Iron, which b need to work over into metal articles which do not require the highest grades of wrought iron, from $1 to $1 a lo l eto The Department ol State is watch ing with the keenest Interest the progress of events in Spain. Fortur- ately thereare few American interests in the unfortunate country, which is lorn with internal diaser sioas aud gravely menaced by a forelirn war. Of course American - officials aannot with propriety voice publically their opinion regarding the affairs of a friendly nttion but It is no secret that the opinion ia held in Washington hat most ot the riots, arson, bomb throning, etc are merely the work of anarchists, mauy of them foreign ers who have no interest in tbe war in Morocco, who believe they see in the present situation an opportun ity for unlimited loot.
