Paris Green for Colorado Potato Bugs.
To the Editors ofThe Boston Journal:

To the Editors Of The Boston Journal:
Will you oblige me by publishing
these few lines on Paris green for pota
to bugs, in reply to several correspon
dents. Paris green (luown by valie
ty of other names), is Il fine powder
composed of arsenic, copper and acetic
acid, and contains about half its weight
of arsenic in semi-soluble form. Five
or six grains of this irritant metallic
poison are sufficient to cause death in
an adult, and the least quantity is dele
terious to health. 1t is dangerous to
inhale or to handle it in any quantity !;
and this is the material that is used on
potato plants.
1t is said that this is the only efficient
destroyer of the beetles known. and it
has been used in the West for this pur-
pose, without recognized injurious eff
fects. Nevertheless, the danger is much
too great to permit its use by New
England farmers. 1t is not known that
the arsenic or copper is absorbed by
the plants; they may be; but assuming
that they are not, then the dangers at
tending the common mode of digging
and gathering potatoes, from the adhe-
sion of PARTICLES of the poison, in soil
upon which it has been scattered; the
danger in distributing it and in placing
it in the hands of the wOrkmen and
the danger to animals, such as poultry,
hogs, sheep and even dogs, who may
venture into the fields, make only part
of list of dangers that may be readily
brought to mind. And when we add to
this that the effects of metallic poison
ing may not be observed for months
OF years in some eases, there is certain
ly reason for saying that the indiscrim-
mate use of Paris green on these plants
may be more disastrous in its results
than the loss of several crops of pota-
toes. | cannot suggest any harmless
chemical agent that will drive off the
bugs, but do not use Il metallic poison

THE REPUBLICAN REVOLT
The Leading Republican Organ Of Io'0a on
His Hdudulency.

The action of President Hayes in indi-
rectly but none the less surely, recogni-
zine the Nichols mob government in
Louisiana by the withdrawal OF the
troops, justified the worst fears Of all
earnest minded Republicans. In doing
this the President has done what two
thirds of the party believed he would not
and he could not do. In taking so ex'
treme a step in diversion from the old
time Republican policy, and in the be-
travail Of the constantly reiterated princi-
pies of the party, the President forces
upon every member of the party the ex-
treme duty of now deciding whether he
is simply Hayes man from policy, or
whether he is Republican from princi-
ple. The Register chooses that which
seems TO it the only course OF honor. we
have no excuse to offer for this action
an action we can look at in no other light
bnt as being the final abandonment OF
the legal government OF Louisiana, and
the deliberate Republican abandonment
and BETRAYAL of the long suffering. heroic
and noble Republicans of that State, who,
at the peril of their lives, and with many
Cf their brethren murdered before their
ewes, still had the courage and devotion
to win the victory for the party in the
nation at large as well as for themselves
at home, We prefer, in their honor, to
express ourselves as being in sympathy
with such sacrificed and abandoned men
of courage, conviction and honor, rather
than with The Administration, which,
either from mistaken motives or judg-
ment. or from present cowardice, or from
past contract or bargain, coldly and re-
morselessly cast them of when forced to
the choice. We prefer to say that we
honor the betrayed people in this In
stance far more than we can honor a
Federal Administration which lends its
strong arm in aiding a menaclng MOB OF
the White Leaguers to overpoWer and
bear down State Government legally
chosen by the fair majority of the people
of that State.
Nor can we see that President Hayes
has not, in this action, vitiated his own
title to the Presidency by using the vest
ed power in his hands to the downfall of
government chosen by the same vote,
and the same kind of a vote by which he
was made President. AS we have said,
this result confirms the worst fears which
all ardent Republicans have had. 1t also
confirms the theory that the Register
has all the time held, that the Electoral
Commission bill was the beginning and
origin of the evil which now has come.
1t would seem to us now to be absolutely
proved that the Electoral bill was found
ed on bargain which pledged away in
deliberate barter the legal rights Of the
Republican State governments of South
Carolina and Louisiana .-De8 Moine8 Reg

STARK COUNTY.

We see by the Stark County Democrat
that Mr.. John McGregor is candidate
for Clerk of Court. Our friend John, if
we remember right, was the candidate a
few years ago, and was defeated, sharing
the same fate then of the Democratic
ticket. Now that there is a chance, the
Democracy of Stark should give John an
other opportunity, which we have no
doubt they will. They owe this much at
least to the staunch old Stark County
Democrat, that has unfalteringly main
tanned the flag of Democracy in adversi-
ty as in success. John is we'll qualified
for the position, and has done meritori.
GUS service for the good old cause

FRED. DOUGLASS has created a stir at
Washington, in consequence of the attack
on the citizens of that city, in the lecture
which he is delivering at different points.
The National Republican of Thursday
morning, in long editorial review of the
lecture, administers severe rebuke and
concludes as follows:
In the name of justice and decency we
demand the removal of this slanderer
from the position he holds. 1t is posi-
ton too intimately connected with the
business people of this community to be
held by such one. The most abject
apology could not condone the offense,
and all men of respectability here, white
and black, should brand him, as he de.
serves, as an Infamous slanderer, by treat
ing him with contempt. A man who
would thus deliberately y villify whole
people should be forced without the pale
Of respectable society. Certainly no gen.
tleman here can recognize him in the fu-
ture, for his shameless assault was level
ed at the aggregated community, white
and colored, and not at Individuals
Douglass is he whom Hayes, as an act
Of "justice to the black community" ap-
pointed Marshal of the District Of Co.
lumbia, and then refused to permit him
to administer the hospitalities of the
White House. m

GEORGE FEssLER, ESQ, our county treas
urer, has been favorably spoken of as a
candidate for Treasurer of State, and urg-
ed all over the State as a very suitable,
worthy and competent gentleman to be
placed in nomination for that position by
the Democratic State Convention when
that body shall assemble. 1t will be
seen by card in this paper that Mr..
Fessler withdraws his consent as to be-
coming candidate at this time, and re-
commends another Stark county gentle
man for the position. We take great
pleasure in also speaking word for An
thony Howells, Esq, who is a prominent
citizen Of Massillon, in this county, and
Democrat worthy Of all consideration
and regard. We hope to see Mr.. How
ellis nominated for the position, and shall
do what we can to secure it; and there
after, if successful, to promote his elec-
ton. We are confident Mr.. Howells's
name on the State ticket would help our
county ticket, and be popular nomina-
ton everywhere.

The New York Republican Legislature
after several months hard work, got up
new charter for the metropolis. 1t is
now before Gov. Robinson awaiting his
approval. Delegations are urging for
and against the new measure for the en-
iightenment of the Executive. A prom
inent citizen said the measure was neces.
sary to prevent the city being governed
by corner groceries. The Governor re-
piled that it would be a good thing to
have the saints conduct the government
if we only knew who the saints are. He
believed they might be found in corner
groceries as well as in wealthy mansions,
and if the people Of wealth took no inter-
est in the government of their own city,
it would be their fault if they were not
governed to suit themselves. This hints
at an important secret of municipal mis-
government.

THE armyisto be reduced to 25,OOO men.
This is not much of a reduction, moth
ing to what it ought to be. There are
too many interested spectators as yet to
get the army down to where it ought to
be, When we get a full fedged reform
Democratic Congress it will be reduced,
and millions saved. The party in power
have been needing and using the army
for political purposes, and the late Sec
retary of War, Be.knap, as we'll as other
political spectators, wished it large, to
make money. AS our U. s. Constitution
requires the military shall be subordi'
nate to the civil power, we need but a
small army in time of peace.

POLITICAL ITEMS.

We see there are fourteen candidates
for the Democratic nomination Of Sher-
III In Coshocton county.
The Louisville Courier. Journal, speak
ing of the proposed revival Of the old
Whig party, says. ut was most re-
spectacle old party, and II is dead; dead
as door nail; dead as a mackerel; dead
as the bull-rushes round little Moses on
the banks Of the Nile"
The New York Times, chief organ OF
the scheme by which fraudulent Presi-
dent was counted in, has no faith in the
proposed resurrection of the defunct
Whig party by that fraudulent President.
1t seemsto think that lift were resurrec-
ted it would prove bigger fraud in the
way Of success than Hayes is himself,
and he IS more than the Times is willing
TO bear without agood deal of grumbling.
"Father Wade" and "Uncle Bill Al
len" can beat any two men in the United
States on straight swear, when they are
excited.

of the Board of Education OF the town of
Berea, absconded the other day with

The whisky ring, according to the
Pittsburgh Chronicle, has concluded that
President Hayes is not first proof.
When an indignant Cleveland editor
told the President that Ohio was going
Democratic, he replied that he knew it,
If Boutwell, had any war paint he
would put it on now. His brother.in-law
has been removed from Office by SeCre-
tary Sherman. We suspect Mr.. Bout
we'll has no war paint any more.
The struggle for the control of the Su-
preme Court of South Carolina has been
postponed by the election of Associate
Justice Willard as Chief Justice. His
promotion still leaves a vacancy on the
bench, which will probably be filed next
week.
The application of Governor Emory,
of Utah, for additional troops at all the
posts in that Territory, gives a color Of
probability to the stories of mediated
resistance to the United States authori-
ties by the Mormons. The Indians are
quiet, and now the other fellows begin
to betroublesome.
Ex-President Grant is announced to
sail for Europe Thursday of this week.
He goes for an indefinite time, limiting
his plans only by his pleasure in the
matter. He sails from Philadelphia.
The New York World says Mr.. Noyes

Drexel, Morgan & Co., bankers, made
a proposition to the Secretary Of War to
furnish money at 6 per cent per annum
to pay the army from the 1st of July till
the army appropriation should be passed.
The War Secretary remembered he can
not enter into such contract without
violation of law.

WE took occasion two weeks ago to
copy currency article from the Cadiz
Sentinel and comment thereon, claiming
that government has no right to disturb
values, that the Constitution gives no
such power to Congress. The Sentinellast
week gives our article and comments at
length, We shall not take up space with
our friends long article. 1t would seem
the Sentinel favors an irredeemable, and
hence deprecated paper currency. We
are not aware that any Democratic states
man, or any Democratic National Con.
vention ever failed 10 condemn all such
robber schemes. The party opposed to
the Democracy has been the party of all
such frauds. The Democratic doctrine
has always been, that Congress has no
Constitutional power to make money
plenty or scarce. Our Government was
instituted to establish justice, maintain
domestic tranquility, provide for the
common defense, promote the general
welfare, and secure the blessings of lib
erty."
The history Of this country, as we'll as
the history of many others, are full of
frightful lessons of the evils and suffering
that result from an irredeemable and de-
preciated paper currency, Whether done
through general government paper or
State bank paper, the ruin and disaster
were the same. The rise and fall in val.
ues within the last few years, and the
ruin and prostration in consequence, vim
dicate Democratic teachings and policy
and the wisdom Of the Constitution. The
Democracy on this question are unit
now, as they ever have been.

Our dealers in Canton, with whom we
have conversed during the past week,
say business is much worse this season
than year ago. And how could it be
otherwise? In Canton a very large
number of our laboring men and mechan-
les had nothing to do through the win
ter and now, though work is more plen-
ty, wages are lower than ever-in fact
down to starvation point. Flour, too, is
high, meat continues high, potatoes also
high while most other neCessaries re-
main at good figures. At the rates at
which labor is paid, it is all that most
working men can do to provide food to
say nothing of raiment and other dry
goods. The opinion among business men
seems to be that we have not yet reach
ed the bottom of this calamitous condi-
ton. At all events there seems to be no
immediate prospect of "better times"
We must have full return to honest
government in all departments, espec-
tally the White House head. We cannot
have fraud there. Therei is a conscience
in the American people that will make
them loathe all such.

CLERK OF COURTS.

John McGregor, the junior Of this pa
per, being a candidate for the Democrat
ic nomination of Clerk of Courts, the
editor deems it not improper to have a
word with our friends.
The special interest that every good
Democrat has in making nominations
for offices to be filled, is TO promote the
success of and build up the cause,
The nomination and election of John
McGregor we think all will concede
would be calculated to promote this end.
Our friends who consider the situation,
and who realize the importance OF an
efficient and unselfsh party organ at the
county seat, will endorse this statement
readily.
Were there not special reasons, Mr.,
John would not be candidate for any
thing, and our true friends well know
wha! these reasons are and they also
know that they take their origin in de-
voton and sacrifices to the Democratic
cause.
He would be glad, if business and cir.
cumstances would allow, to travel the
county generally, and see and converse
with many or most of our friends, and
review with them the Democratic trials
of the past, when gloom overwhelmed
US and disaster stamped out ruthlessly
honest government and Constitutional
rule.
John is now 80 years of age, and
since he was able to do anything, to car
ry and fold papers, he has labored in
the office of the STARK COUNTY DEMO
Graf; and the make up and efficiency
of the paper is owing largely to his skill
and knowledge Of the business,
We appeal to the friends who know
and appreciate these and other past SER
vices; and who would rather encourage
and sustain, than defame and crush the
paper that has had something to do in
keeping alive, and bringing victory to
the Democratic cause.
