Senator Cameron Defines his Exract
Position.

Position.
Special to the Philadelphia Press.
WASHINGTON, March 12-Senator
Cameron of Pennsylvania said to.day
that he was very much annoyed at the
repeated publications continually ap-
pearing in the newspapers with regard
to his views and position on the presi-
Dental question he had but one post.
ion; had never expressed but one
opinion, and did not think he should
find it necessary to change either.
Without attempting to deny in detail
every struggling paragrah purporting
to express his views, he would say
generally and finally that he was in
favor of General Grants nomina>
ton to the presidency and had no
second choice. His confidence that
Grant would be nominated on the first
ballot was as strong as human conf
dence conld be, and he believe that
the contest would be practically set
tied long before the convention met at
Chicago Maine and Ohio might cast
complimentary votes for their favorite
sons, but enough states would 60 there
instructed for Grant to make the con-
test useless, and be anticipated that
the first ballot would carry nearly all
the states for Grant. Senator Came
ron further said he had never thought
for moment or listened to suggest
ion as to what he would do ''if Grant
were out Of the way" because such
an event was impossible. Nothing but
death could prevent Grants nomina-
tion now. The senator expressed the
hope that his views would be mis-
understood to mean anything except
that he was confident of Grants NOM
nation, and founded his confidence
upon information that was not all
known to the public,

year, the DAILY CHRONICLE will
take an active part in the vigorous
discussions Of all political issues
involved, and will, az the same
time, keep its readers fully posted
on all the important events of the
day. 1t will do whatever is honest
and legitimate to promote the sue
cess of the Republican ticket,
placing fidelity to the intere sts Of
that party above any personal aims
or privata ambition. To this end
it will favor the selection of good
men with clear records, per-
sonal and political, for standard
bearers in the coming canvass, and
when such are selected, it will do
everything reasonable to secure
their success. .t .........+...
In State politics, the CHRONICLE
will support no man for any Office,
from Governor down to constable,
who is not in favor of paying the
State debt upon terms satisfactory
to the creditors Of the State. II
will oppose the efforts of repudia-
tionists to drag the entire State
down to their low and degraded
standard, first, last and all the time,
and even though the repudiationists
should be successful, it will continue
to denounce them and their infa-
nous schemes. t.r.
The WING AND CHRONICLE will
be published weekly, as before, and
will be made up from the issues of
the DAILY CHRONICLE. 1t will con-
tain a choice selection Of miscella-
neous matter each week, together
with editor ais, telegraph and local
matter. Especial attention will be
given its columns, and everything
that could be Objectionable in the
family circle will be carefully ,ex-
Guided. 1t will be the object Of the
publishers to make it welcome
visitor into the families Of the
country. . .'-
It's market reports will be carefully
revised every Tuesday and made as
nearly perfect and reliable as pos
sible. a#".a
The Agricultural columns Of the
WING AND CHRONICLE shall receive
close attention, and will be i'm
proved all the time. In this depart-
ment, the views of practical farmers
on topics of interest will be invited.
The proprietors of these two old
and well established journals will
spare no pains to keep up and add
to their established reputation, and
are confident that they will make
them worth many times more than

Cabbage Worms.

Last year our cabbage garden
swarmed with white butterflies, and
by fall most of our cabbage had
been destroyed by green worm,
and this spring the same garden IS
infested with armies Of what APP
pears to be the common cut-worm.
They march down the rows Gin
which are sown cabbage, onions,
radish and lettuce just below the
surface Of the soil, and destroy ev-
erything before them, In a few
minutes | scratched out over two
hundred of them with my fingers.
Are the two worms identical ? Is
there any remedy ? Would like
some information in regard to them
through the columns OF the PRAIRIE
FARMER. Respectfully yours.
W. 4. W.
HUNTLEY GROVE, Ill,
Ans:-They are not identical. The
first mentioned is the cabbage worm
so generally known. Many RENE
dies for the pest are recommended:
as drenching with hot water, with
weak I've, with decoction of elder,
sprinkling with salt, with saltpetre,
busting with ashes, powdered lime
black pepper, cayenne pepper mixed
with plaster, meal sawdust' and
road dust Others have children to
catch the butterAies-large white,
not yellow-with nets These are
first seen about the last OF May. a
small bed of ladishes hare and there
will attract the butterflies, when
they can be caught. Another cure
is to pick off the worms by hand.
Boards placed among the cabbages,
raised couple of inches from the
ground, will serve as a place Tor the
worms to change to chrysaIids,
when these can be destroyed once
a week. Fortunately it has an in
sect enemy that punctures the skin
of the chrysalis and lays within a
number Of small eggs, which hatch
out into little white maggots, which
eat the inside entirely out, and SO
ends the green worms career almost
as soon as begun. Against this
formidable antagonist the cabbage
butterfly and its destructive proge-
ny may in the time wholly disap-
pear.
The other insect is a sub.errane-
Gus caterpillar or cut-worm. There
are many species of this family,
which the eutomologists have group
ed under the term Agrotidians,
signifying that they are found in
the fields; thus the parent insects
are called rustic moths. The cat
erpilIers of the Agrotidians are
smooth, shining, naked, dark-color
ed with longitudinal pale and black
ish stripes, and a few black dots on
each ring. Some arc ashen gray
in color, with a brown head. The
color of the moths of the different
species varies very much. AL
though no description of the worm
accompanies our correspondents in
ouiry, the brief mention made OF ii
its habit of destroying tue tender
roots Of plants, together with its
appearance just at this time-indl-
cate that it may be the AgroStiS de-
vaStator. The most efeetual way
to get rid of the Worms although
it requires much patience and per-
severance-is TO dig them up. They
will be found not far below the sur
face nor from the roots of the cab
bages or other plants which are in.
tested. The liberal employment Of
salt has sometimes been found USE
