4 SOUND RESOLUTION-THE WAGES

The Democracy of Illinois, at is recent
convention in Springfield again asserted It's
right 10 be considered the friend and watch.

earn a livelihood lin the sweat Of their brow"
BY resolution adopted at that convention
they have declared that wisdom points out
and justice demands that the men who work
our mines and operate our railroads and
great manufacturing interests should be
protected to the extent Of their wages
by first lien upon the property Of their
employers. Had such Il law been enacted
years ago the hardships and suffering en-.
dured by the laboring and working classes
would have been avoided. The working
classes depend upon their daily earnings to
supply themselves and families with ,he
neccssarics Of life, and when they are

OUR DISTRICT-DUTY OF DEMO
Gratis.

In 1876 eight of the Congressional dis
,ricts of Illinois returned Democratic men,
bers TO the national house Representatives.
In this district the majority was only
twenty votes. Mr.. Hartzell. the Demo
cratic candidate, running ahead of hi
ticket The Republicans carried it for their
presidential electors and State ticket
From this statement We are lead 10 the
conclusion that the Democratic candidate
this year may not secure very easy victory.
This conclusion will I've rendered more in
evitable when the fact is recalled that Col.
Wiley (paradoxical though the statement
may appear put himself, without his own
knowledge, to a great deal of trouble TO de-
feat himself How he did this We need not
state but ii is generally admitted now, be-
lieve, that he was the weakest candidate the
Republicans could have nominated. The
closeness of the district-the doubt which
hangs about the result of the contest-may,
if properly taken advantage Of by Demo
Gratis, I've converted into an element of
strength and success. The duty of Demo
Gratis is plain. They should enter the con-

and popularity in his own party is conced-
ed; one who is able and willing to make a
thorough canvass. The national admins
tration Of affairs is on the eve of passing
into IT, hands of Democrats; and this
is being FASTENED to contamination
by the disintrcgation of the rotten old
concern that has planted fraud in the most
exalted position of the republic and earned
an historic infamy for the corruption and
abuses which have sprung into being under
its protecting ggis. No time could be
more favorable for Democratic success in
this district. With a man broad enough
in his views to comprehend the changes
going on in public sentiment; with inteli-
gcnce enough TO understand the causes and
events producing them, and with ability
enough to impress clearly these causes and
events upon the public mind, the Democrats
need have no fear Of the result.
Throughout the district a thorough or
ganization should be had, and to effect this
an early canvass must be made. Any one of
half dozen Democrats might be mention.

the wild bees have filled some hollow
tree, Their sting cannot hurt him, and
they and their stores are entirely at his
mercy. In u forest known to contain
bears, the hunters examine NIL the hol-
low trees, till they discover II wild bee
hive, A branch Of the tree is then
chosen, directly above thehole; if there
Is no such, stout peg is driven into
the trunk. TO this peg u strong cord is
fastened, and 70 the end Of the cord II
hcnvy stone or Il cannon ball is slls-
pended, at about half II foot from tile

comes upon the treasures Of honey.

of the tunnel, which is near the bark.
The beetles soon emerge and cut their
way out. After careful examination,
Prof. Cook reaches the following practl-
cal conclusions; !. Trees kept green
and vigorous, are safe from attack. 2.
Trees burned or cut in August are free
from injury during the same season,
but should be sawed or got into the wa
ter the next spring. 3, Trees cut or
killed before August will need attention
the same season, and if killed in June
are liable to serious damage. 4. Trees
can be saved, either by peeling of the
bark, or by immersion in water. 3.
Cutting the bark from off the top Of the
logs only will be eilectual, rs i causes
the bark to peel of. Dampness will
not destroy the borers, but if exposed
to the hot rays Of the sun they die at
once. 8. Pceing off the bark not only
secures against the attack Of the borer,
but helps to ensure against fire, in case
u little pains is taken to remove the
bark shost distant from the logs.
