A Statement Showing the Work ol the Two Governors Du Ing the Year 1809. The statement of the pardons and commutations granted during the past year has been issued in pampblet form, and embraces tho work of tho two Gjvernors. In transmitting tho state ment to the L -glalature, Governor Mc Bweeney saye: " In accordance with tho mandate of the constitutl >r, I beg to submit bere-wlth the pardons and commuta tions granted bv me from June 3, 1890, to the 31st of 'D.cember, 1800, Inclu sive. Albo tin so granted during the same year up to June 3. ly my pre* decessor, the lato Gov. W. 11. Fllerbo, a< prepared and tubmittod to m i by his private secretary, Mr. W. Boyd Evans. "I have observed that It was not customary, at least for some of my pre decessors, to submit the commuta tions, at d it seems not to bo manda tory by the constitution, but 1 have thought best to keep tbo record com p ete, and, therefore, submit both, w.th my reasons for my action. 11 It Is not improper to state that, in consequence of the long illness of my predecessor, there was an accumula tion of petitions for pardon when 1 came Into office. I took them and acted on them promptly as they wore presented, and hav exercised my right and the duty imposed by the constitution to extend clemency In such cases as my judgment led mo to believe were deserving." The pardons granted by the late Gov. Ellerbe number 14, and the com mutations were four in number, three being mui d.-r (a tes t n J one a rapo case, all being granted upon strong show ings. Gov. McSweenjy has granted 34 par dons, the most notable cases being those of WbitUeld Mv roll and A. R Fowler, the armleBS preacher-forger. In severel of .ho cases convictions 1 nl been allowed on the understanding that pardons would be seoured. There were 34 commutations, two being simply a transfer from prison to chain gang?in the case of Fowler and Pons. The total number of pardons granted during the year was 48, and the com mutations foot up 33. QEN. DABNKY H. MAUIIY DKAI). He Was a Confederate Soldier and a Man of Unswerving Principles. Gen. Dabney H. Maury, who was a gallar S Confederate soldier in the war between the States, and who was at one time minister to Colombia, died at an advanced age at Peorla, 111., last week. Gen. Maury is particularly re membered in history for his gailant defence of Mobile Bay. The remains weie taken to Frederlcksburg, Va., for Interment. A special from U'ehmond, Va., says : Since the war, Gin. Maury, whose death In Peorla, Illinois, Is announced, had lived s qdet, retired life, much of which was spent here with his daugh ter and with his other children. His face and form were familiar to tue people of this city, to many of whom a -fie-was will known. Ho was a born soldier and took the liveliest interest In all military matters. Although past four-score years wbea the war broke out between this country and Spain, the old Confederate commander mani fested the deepest interest in all of the movements ot our army in Cuba, and let- r on in the Philippine IsUnds When asked about the hostilities soon after the declaration of war Gsn. Maury said he was too old to take any active part In the field. With spark ling eyes he added, though, if the gov ernment had any use for his services, and if he could render any to his coun try he was ready to be assigned. Tho distinguished toidlor was a man of the strongest principles, whlob he showed In every walk of life. There was noth ing that could swerve him one hair's breadth from what he regarded as right and honorable. As r.n instance o' this about 1895 he was offered a po sition as one of the managers of the Louisiana Lottery, which lad been made vacant by the then rect nt death of a well-known gentleman. He was at Lexington, V?., when the proffer of this place came to him. Whi n inter viewed by a correspondent as to wheth er he would accept it Gen. Maury de clared very positively that he would not. The position carried with it a salary of something like three or four thousand a year, and then promised to be for ten years. Gen Maury was with Iout means and the salary of the posi tion tendered would no doubt have been acceptable. He, however, prompt y ly declined it. Gon. Maury took the deepest interest in all Ex-Confederate matters, although he atu nded but few of the reunions. ? After a debate on tl e Philippine question between Edward M.Sheppard and ProfoiHor E.

C. THE MORALITY OF TRUSTS. President Medley, of Yale Unlver-1 Slty, in a recent address at the eonvo- j cation of Chicago University, pointed out some of tho evils of the present day, among thcin the growth of trusts and political dishonesty. He said that imperialism meant a great change for us ; that eompclion is no longer the controlling spirit of business, but great combinations of capital have grasped the country, and it will be difficult to control them. Personal morality is higher in America than iu England, but in business and politics we are much debased. His speech in part is as follows : ??An unusually well informed foreign critic, Mr. Muirhcad, has recently pub lished the opinion that (he standard of personal morality iu America is decid edly higher than in England, that of commercial morality probably a little lower, and, and that of political moral ity quite distinctly lower. There is reason to think that in this view he rcpreseuts the consensus of opinion of well informed observers on both sides of the Atlantic. The causes for this condition of things demand serious at tcution. A failure to carry into poll lies the same kind of ethical standard which is applied in matters of personal morals implies as a rule that there is something in a people's political con dition to whose understanding it has not fully grown up. Such a failure implies a defect in public judgment rather than in individual character. It indicates that we do not know what virtues must be exercised for the main tenance of organized society as well as we know what virtues are necessary to harmonious living of individuals among their neighbors. "Organization iu business, in local politics and iu nalio nil politics has brought with it an inequality of oppor tunity and an unfairness of conditions in which the game of life in competi tive business is giving way to trusts. The lewn meeting has been supplant ed by the organized municipality. The old federation of Slates, with Strong traditions of home rule, has become a centralized nation, reaching beyond its borders to rule over the nations less civilized than itself. ?'Under those circumstances it be comes impossible for the comn unity to rest complacently in that egotistic mor ality which seemed sufficient for a gen oration earlier. We can no longer rely upon competition to protect the consumers against abuse when indus try has become so highly organized that all production is centralized in the control of a single body. It is no lon ger true, in the sense that it was fifty years ago, l h it each man may be left free to manage his own business and that the community will find its work best done as a consequence of such freedom. Commerce and industry are no longer to be regulated as games where we have nothing to do hut to applaud the most skillful player when he wins und rest in the assurance that his triumph is in line with the best in terests ot the community as a whole. That which was once as a game lias now become a trust, not merely iu the superficial and accidental sense in which the name 'trust' is now a.iplisd to all large combinations of capital, but in a profouudcr sense -as a trust exercised on behalf of tho public, which it is in the power of thoso who control this cnpitul to use well or ill at their pleasure, without adequa'c ro ? straint fiom nny quarter. Where com petition is thus become a remote con tingency and where Inw is almost nee essarily inadequate unless it be made so strict as to forbid tho good no less than the evil in private business enter prise, a new system of ethics is a mat ter of vital necessity for the American people?a system which shall treat tho director no longer as an individual pursuing private business of his own and with tho rest to resent tho sugges tion that he should conduct it unsolf ishly, bnt as having more responsibili ties to his stockholders, Ids working men and to tho consumers that pur chse his goods or bis service. In tho absence of such an ethical ndvanco no political or legal solution of the so. called problem is likely to bo estab lished. ?'Until there is a fundamental reform in tho cod;; of political ethics which tho community imposes upon its mom bors, public trusts will bo no more nd cquntel) controlled than private ones. Nay, tboy aro likely to bo ovon less nd 3-uitely controlled, because a public of cial, holding his power as a tool of a ring and acknowledging no alliance to staudnrds/jylior than thoso which have made Iiis organisation successful, is more firmly inlrenclu d in authority than the president of any private cor poration, however extensive or power ful. Until such a change is made the socialistic idea of reforming abuse of private trust by the substitution of public trust will be but the substitution of one set of masters for another. "If this difficulty is felt in interna tional affairs, where those who suffer arc at any rate citizens and men of ac tion, with the power to make their protests heard even where they cannot make their resistance successful, much worse will it be in dealing with colo nies and dependencies. Under an im perialistic policy our government can not remain what It was. It must grow cither worse or better. It cannot re main a game iu which the struggle for success is as far as possible disassocia ted from the moral sense of the partic ipant?. It will involve cither a direct breach of trust or a direct acceptance of trust. "Our own experience with problems other than these and the experience of England with this particular problem both warrant us iu the belief that wc shall move toward a better solutbn rather than toward a worse. "A country which has in so many of its parts passed in a single generation from the lawlessness of frontier life to the extreme of legality, may readily in a generation more pass from a State where CDiceptions of public duty are bounded by legality alone to one where they arc inspired by n moral obligation which will carry into the conduct of public a Halts the principles ami the sentiments which wo recognize as pri vate ones. AMERICAN COHN. There is no more wholesome cereal than American corn, none that can be made into a greater variety of palatable forms. For ten years pa$l efforts have been made to introduco our corn in Europo and make it popular among the masses there. It appears that the peo ple of several lOuropean countiies are at last beginning to appreciate corn. England and Germany take a large quantity of it cvory year and recently two large steamers were chartered to take cargoes of corn from Philadelphia to It aval m northern Hessin. Though Hussia is the largest wheat growing country of Europe, millions of its peo ple have never tasted flour. They live largely on rye and other coarse food products. 'There should bo a great market for our coin among this class of people. If they can only be Induced to try it we believe that many of them will be glad to give up their tough black bread lor corn-bread, which is sweeter, moro digestible, more nu tritious and quite ns cheap as the kinds of bread on which they now mainly subsist. While the people of Europe have been slow to accept corn as a food article there is reason to boHeve that their prejudice against it is weakening and will, after a while, he almost overcome. Large quantities of corn are now ship ped to Europe for brewing purposes, and its use by European brewers is in creasing rapidly. The prospect there fore of a great trade in coin with Europe is fine. This means much for the United States, as corn is the largest and most valuable of all our crops ami grows mere generally throughout the country than any other. There is hardly nuy limit to the pos sible corn production of the United States and we stand ready to meet any demand that the world may make for this noble grain.?Atlanta Journal. Scientific men say that honey is a much more healthful sweet than sugar, ami has many valuable properties. It is nutritive, and when used freely with bread makes an excellent food for chil dren. It is laxative, and may he used advantageously in place of medicine by persons of sedentary lives. Itcitig also tho daintiest and most delicious of sweets?an extract of blossoms?it is hardly possible to cat it to an injurious extent. It needs no digestion,as sugar docs, and even acts as a digestive aid. Recent experiments by tho experts of the fish commission in Washington have demonstrated that genuine pearls of high quality may bo ^rown in aquariums, fountains, fish ponds, and in many other pools of water which can sustain mussels, oysters and other m dlusks that emit nacre, the beauti ful iridescent secretion of which pearls arc made. OA.0TOHXA, Bmts Um Th? Kind You Haw Ugn Boutfrt PECAN NUTS IN TEXAS. A corespondent of the Chicago Kc cord says that Texas is the greatest pecan nut growing Slate in ihe Union. It is estimated that two-thirds of the pecan mils that are marketed come from this State. The valleys of all the rivers and creeks of this part of the Slate arc covered with pecan groves, and Austin is said to he the largest pe can market in the United States. It is here that the commission men aud reg ular pecan nut buyers from the East make iheir head-quai tcrs dining the harvesting season and direct the ship ment of the delicious mils to the North ern and Eastern markets, where Ihey cummaud good prices at all times. This season hut very few cars are being shipped for tho reason that the To: is crop of pecans is almost a com plete failure. The prices for the nuts ate high, and the owners of pecan groves who arc so fortunate as to have a good crop are netting a hiir income from the nuts. It was not until a few years ago that Texas came to he known in any great extent in the pecan mar kets of the country. This fact was due principally to the lack of railway com munication with the outside markets and the inability to get the nuts to market. The mils had but little value at that time and no effort was made to preserve the forest of pecan trees thai covered pails of the southwest and west Texas not many years ago. Now that it is known that there arc big profits in marketing the nuts the own ers of producing trees arc careful to have them f-parcd the woodman's axe and much attention is being paid the Industry. In some localities orchards of young pecan trees embracing thous ands of acres, have been planted with in the last few years. They thrive with out irrigation. They begin hearing when about nine years old and continue to produce lor an indefinite peiiod. Il is known that some pecan trees which are still yielding several bushels each good crop season were full grown and bearing not less than 50 years ago. The beautiful polish possessed by the pecan nuts found in the markets of Northern and Eastern cities is not a natural condition. When gathered, the surface of iho shell is rough. Nuts sent to the market in this condition do not command the higher prices, and in order to make I hem grade better it is usual for them to undergo a polish ing process before final shipment is made. 1'ecan polishing mills have been established at a number of places in this section. But few of them are run ning this season owing to the short ness of the crop. Another industry that has recently increased tho demand for pecan nuts has developed during the last few years. Il is thai of using the kernels of the nuts in the manufacturing of confee lionery of various kinds. About nix years ago a confectioner of New York city chanced to visit a small candy store in San Antonio tun by a Mexican He found there a kind of confectionery which the Mexican called "pecan can dy." It pleased his taUc so greatly that he entered into a contract with the Mexican to furnish him a large quan tity of pecan kernels for use in the manufacture of this new kind of caudy in his New York establishment. The extraction and shipment of ker nols, which was begun in a small way, only six years ago, h is grown to mam moth proportions, ami many people are engaged in the bublUCDS. Machin ery for the extraction of the kernels has been invented and placed in suc cessful operation at San Antonio and large shipments nre made each season to confectioners in New York city, St. Louis, Chicago and other cities of the country. The kernels command a high price, and good profits arc derived by those employed 10 that branch of the pecan business. The Mexicans on the Hio Grande border store large quantities of pecan nuts for winter use. They make a line flour out of the kernels, and this is used to make the most delicious bread, which is only eaten on festival occas ions. The nut enters into their Christ um? enjoyments to a very large extent, being used in Ihn preparation of vari ous kinds of choice dishes. Tho unusually largo wheat acreage is culling a considerable figure in the year's prospects, and if tho crop comes up to expectations, it will help out ihe mid-summer situation wonder! oily.? YorkvilU Inyuirer. OA8TOHIA. Bmu-i um _/) itio Kind You Haw Always Bflqgjtf DROUTHS AND TIIKIR REMEDY. It has been our experience for near ly bnlf a dozen years lhal wells, springs and small streams g> dry in midsum mer and autumn in many places. We have a spring and branch that never went dry but once in forty years, ac cording 10 my own personal knowledge; yet it has been bone dry live times in the last five or six years. There is manifestly a reason for tins change, and that reason I am anxious to discover. Wells have go:ie dry in the same period that had afforded unfailing drinking water for more than fifty years. I am in tent on securing information, and uiuess the water supply is sinking deeper?as the land is more thoroughly cultivated, or the clearing up of timbered lands has kept the soil so dry, that the usual wat er veins arc dried up or evaporated, I can lind no good or sufficient reason for this deficiency. It may reach a place where artesian or deep bore wells will become a necessity, or the reselling of bare, worn-out soils with trees forest trees ?may restore deposits of Water for tho supply ot customary spr springs aud wells among us. Tins ques tion isalieady a serious one to rural fanners. Well-digging, such as will lind and guarantee good drinking water, is become, a lostart in this country. 1 do not forget that the work is like, the majority of the workmen who pro pose lodig wells?very unreliable. The majority of farmers are not able or willing to go down in the newly dug wells to sec if the work is done well or otherwise; and it may be that sorry work will account for many sorry wells, but that does not account for the dis appearance of springs, which makes so many streams go dry these di>ys. I had attributed tlie lack of water to long-continued drouths, such as we have had for several weeks back, until we had almost continuous rain last fall, ai.d the worst winter for freezes and Hoods ever known iu the history of the coiinti v. I mean the winter of IS'.IS 00. Yet the tame recurrence of failing springs and wells took place at the close of the year. Iu this connection I remarked anoth er phenomenon that may throw some light on this subject. The most of the land that was cultivated in cotton and corn in the year 1800. that I was ac quaininted wi'.h, was level, keep-plow ed, long cultivated soil. The, dry spells of two months or more that fell on us in the spring caught the seed in the ground, and theio it lay, struggling up with half a stand, alter frequent replantings. There was a small field near by net in half-grown peach-trees, also worked in cotton. On that tract, the seed came up promptly, grew off well and came near making a hale to the aero. Those little peach trees cast a trifle of shade on the sun baked soil during alt the drouth time. Again, we began sowing turnips in .Inly, the weather torrid and very often diy for weeks. WhetO we towed in I he open places the seeds would genni Date, hut polish under the hot sun. In my garden 1 have a couple of cherry trees. Where the shade, of the trees fell on the ground sown iu turnips we had a line stand, and made mammoth turnips. Where the shade was not the ground had to he. resowu three or four limes to get any plants. I sowed seed alongside tomato vines. There the stand was good, demonstrating to my mind the value of shade on laud where you want damp ?eil. It has convinced me that tree-plant ing has become a necessity where the soil bar, been for a long liino bare (and unless fertilized), much impoverished, especially where constant drainage to lower lcvols exists, and no moisture re mains in long drouths. I believe springs must he. encircled with growing trees, so that their roots may pontraie the soil deoply and keep open the veins in the earth where the water col lects and feeds the spring. Philadelphia is trying the experiment of beautifying the city by planting trees along Broad street, from Moyn mensiug avenue to the northern termi nus of the thoroughfare.

Crude petroleum is not a rccogulzcd Insecticide ami lias not had a place heretofore lu tho list of materials ree* ouimcndcd for the destructiou of in jurious Insects. Tho Now Jersey sta tion's experiments recorded in bullctlu 188 therefore possess du element of novelty, and their apparently doubtful nature adds interest to the outcome which is thus summarized: Since January, 1808, nearly 4,000 trees of the ordinary orchard fruits other than cherry have been treated With crude petroleum, either undiluted or mixed with from DO to 7? per cent of water. The trees varied from stock Just out of the nursery row to old trees in full bearing. Not a single case of Injury to any tree treated in winter has been observ ed. On the contrary, in a number of WSCS the oil seems to have acted as a Stimulant, and the sprayed trees have shown greater vigor and better foliage than those untreated. In no ease has there been any Injury to frint buds, but on this point the ob servations are Incomplete, no early winter treatments having been made In hearing orchards. Applications made after .lan. IS have In no way less ened the crop of apples and pears tin year following, and applications made In March have not injured the fruit buds in pencil and plum. Crude petroleum is not suited for a summer application, either pure or di luted, because of Its choking effect on foliage and Its persistence. This, however, Increases its value for winter work as compared with kerosene. The latter acts at once or not at all and evaporates very soon after It has been applied. In fact, to avoid Injury, It must be applied In such a way as to favor rapid evapora tion. Crude oil does not evaporate readily. It Is penetrating, and, If ap plied with a brush half way round a branch, will often sonic round the branch completely. It remains as an oily or greasy surface coating for many weeks, and no scales can set on this coating within a month of the application and live. It does not or dlnnrily penetrate through even the surface layer of hark. I nder the most unfavorable circumstances. If the out er layer is penetrated, the Inner layer remains healthy, and there Is no pro gross!vo Injury. It does not seem to Interfere with hark functions, and young trees painted with the oil In creased In size quite as rapidly and freely as those untreated. Crude petroleum will kill the perni cious scale In winter whenever it comes Into sufficient contact with the Insect. It Is a contact insecticide and will not Injure what It does not touch, hut, liberally applied, It will soak through masses of scale, no matter how densely set, as nothing else will. A minor advantage is the fact that It gives a greasy, brown color to the bark, making It easy to see exactly how thorough the application has been. It seems a fair conclusion that the crude petroleum tiled is an Important Insecticide for winter application on orchard trees. It Is fully as effective against seale Insects as kerosene and Is harmless to the most tender varieties and on the youngest trees. Therefore It Is pecul iarly adapted for employment against the San Jose or pernicious scale. As tin' oil remains on the surface for a long time. It makes no difference whether It is put on undiluted or mixed with Wtttor. If mixed with wa ter, tho latter evaporates and leaves the oil, so that tho material In contact with tho tree is as much undiluted as If the water had not been apppliod with it. If it Is put on undiluted, a line no/./.le should be used not only because better distribution can he secured In that way. but because of the saving of ma terial. It will be just as well, how ever, to use an emulsion sprayer and mix with from 00 to 7u per cent of wa ter. It will then be possible to use a no/./.le of larger capacity or, better, a group of line nozzles, and the material can be applied until everything Is drip plug. A gallon of emulsion containing i!f> per cent oil will give a better coat ing than one (pun t of oil undiluted. On trunks and branches n summer application Is as safe ns one made lu winter, and small trees or larger ones not generally Infested can he summer treated If application to the 'oliage is avoided. In some experiments at the Alabama station with fertilizers for cotton kalnlt used alone was most profitable. Cottonseed meal used alone was sec ond In point of profit. A combina tion of both kalnlt and cottonseed meal afforded a larger yield than either alone, but the cost was also greater, gl' lug to this combination the third place as regards profit.

Thut is the challenge of the old marriage service. It is the challenge of church and state, mid rarely is an swered. But if that chal lenge were offered to Science how often would she forbid the banns, in the interest of woman's hc n11 h and happiness. 'I Itousands of ha ppy maidens who have looked to marriage as the consutu tn a t i o ii of their earthly happiness, have found it a blight to the body, a martyrdom to the mind. The irreg ular and painful pi riods of maidenhood were looked upon as a pan of the common lot of woman, and SO, neglected. Wife hood brought with it debilitating drains, and the trial of motherhood h it an Inflamed and ulcerated condition of the womanly Organs, Then followed the slow decay of body and mllld ; the one tormented with pain; tin other irritable, or despondent.
