a writer in a French horticultu-
raj journal relates this suggestive
experience: "After sunset place
in the center of my orchard an old
barrel, the inside Of which | have
previously well tarred. At the bot.
tom of the barrel place lighted
lamp. Insects of many kinds, at
tracted by the light, make for the
lamp, and while circling around 1t
strike against the side Of tffebarrel,
where, meeting with the tar, their
wings and feet become SO clogged
that they fall helpless to the bottom.
In the morning l examine the bar
rel, and frequently take out Of it ten
or twelve gallons of cock-chafers,
which / at once destroy. A few
pence worth of tar employed in this
way will, without any further trou-
Bile, be the means of destroying In
Vulnerable numbers Of these insects
whose larv@ are amongst the most
destructive pests the gardener OF

1t is well that the subject of the
reckless destruction of forest trees
is receiving attention in various
parts of the country. Last year
about $50 square miles of pine for
est was cut down upon the head
waters of the Mississippi and its
tributaries. Illinois has made ex-
periments on which to estimate the
cost of planting and cultiyating
trees. According to the kind of
tree it would cost from $40 to $3.50
per acre. Many land-holders in Ne
braska are planting trees. In some
parts of Western Canada so great
has been the destruction of forests
that considerable rivers have near
ly dried up from evaporation, leav-
ing little to be seen along their
course but barren sand-banks. 1t
was one of Walter SCOTS odd char
acters who said to his son "When
we've naethin' else to do, Jamie, be
ave stickin' in a tree; it'll be grow
in when ye're sleepin'". Few
things are easier than to plant trees
except, indeed, to refrain from cut
ting them down indiscriminately.

The Third Term.


The Baltimore American sustains our
view on this question. 1t closes an able
article on the subject as follows:
"The agitation of the subject has pro-
duced scarcely a ripple en- the surface of
politics, of which, indeed, the people de-
sire very little this year. Fully surfeited
with the exhausting struggle of last year.
they are quite content to give all such mat
tiers the go-by for the present. Three
years from now will be soon enough to en-
ter into serious and earnest discussion Of
the next presidency, and at this moment no
man is wise enough to predict what will
be the leading questions of the next cam
paign, nor upon what issues it will turn.
The contest of 1872 very nearly obliterated
the old party definitions and wiped out the
existing lines of division, which, according
as events determine, NAV or NAV not be re-

there is nothing reasonable in the aspira-

entirely novel to the history of the United
States, and an innovation upon presidents,

Direct Election of President.

Senator Thurman, of Ohio, made a
speech on. the Fourth Of July warmly advo-
eating reform in the mode of electing
President. In so doing he was consistent in
his profession as Democrat, and showed
that he had studied events, as we'll as books,
enough to keep up with the progress Of
affaiTs.s We are glad to note this substan-
tial gain to the cause of political recon-
struction. 1t must gain ground rapidly
with the general education of the people.
We present to-day the absurd spectacle
of republic, modelled after monarchy a
hundred years ago, and still clinging to
these old abuses. With matchless and
stupid obstinacy we hold on to the
most awkward and cumbrous politi-
cal machinery and listen patiently to
the silly boasts that tours is the best gov
eminent the world ever saw.''
Senator Thurman ably exposed this arrant
humbuggery. Let us have direct election of
neutrality-suspicious., presidents, SEN
ators and all other officers as far as possi-
BILE. Let every mans weight in the nation
count as much as every other mans. /, No
more rotten boroughs like Nevada and
Florida to overthrow the representative
principle. That is what the people will
shortly demand. That is true ,Ieffersonian

No More Labor Strikes.

We are glad to note that the threatened
difficulties between master builders and
their employees, in England, has been
averted by mutual agreement.
The organization of a board of arbitra-
tors from both classes was fortunate
suggestion Of Lord Litchfeld, and will be
of immense value to the industrial inter
ests of the world if generally adopted.
Strikes and lock- are barren ex-
pedients, barbarous in spirit and
method, and no permanent good can
come of them. The true interests of
employers and employed are always
harmonious. Patient study and mutual for
bearance are necessary to discover the
peci,e arrangement that will do justice to
both parties. This can only be attained by
submitting differences to common tribu-
nal composed ofthe best men of each class.
We hope to hear no more of strikes, but let
all causes of quarrel be submitted to the
best men of the capitalists and laborers.
Our sympathies are now mostly with
labor, because it is the weaker party and
lacks the sinews Of war. Because also by
centuries Of misrule and unjust social ar
rangements it has been robbed of its fair
share Of the fruits Of toll.
The colossal fortunes of civilization, which
only curse their owners, measure the wrongs
which labor has suffered. Yet we know
there is a better way to remedy the wrong
than by force arbitration and fraternal
cooperation these are the glorious new
words that are full hope for the fut ure.
