The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1880-03-27

The parishes Of 0uachita, Richand and
Caldwell have been visited by a plague which
threatens grave injury to the crops from gnat
similar to the buffalo gnat, which has visited
these parishes in swarms during daytime.
They do not attack human beings, but assail
horses, mules and cattle.
The effect on the horses and mules has been
to give them n collie and gravel, apparently
poisoning the entire system, causing death in
about six hours from the time they are at.
tackled, The animals walk about apparently
in great agony until they drop dead. Cattle
are affected in a similar manner, only the
effect is not so severe, but frequently causing
the animals to rush into the streams and
drown themselves.
This plague appeared first in Columbia,
Caldwell parish, covering an area Of about six
miles. The area affected has gradually in.
creased at the rate Of about eight miles in
tweniy.four hours, until it has reached Bayou
Macon and TeRsas on the east, aad as far
north as Monroe and RayVille. The loss of
stock has been simply frighiful, aud has for
the present stopped all farming operations in
the sections afflicted, AS iour-hiths Of the ami.
mails attacked die.
The losses in Caldwell parish will now reach
$4,000 and the loss in Ouachita is not less
than $50, 900. The gnat resembles the ordi.
nary house fly, about half the size, black in
color, wings large, extending beyond the body
No preventive has yet been found, except
by stabing the stock and making smoke
heaps A large number of planters and farm.
ers are in New Orleans renewing their supply
of stock. The extent Of this evil can be sur.

How Strong win They Make III

We should like to submit fairly TO the Grant
men, including the great capitalists aud pow
erini corporations al his back, the following
plain question;
What is the change you propose to make in
our form OF government when you get the
power?
That some change, and that a radical one,
IS contemplated, there can be no Doubt Ii
Is the sole ground upon which yon put Your
support Of this successful soldier iOr third
term Of the Presidency; the sole ground upon
which you ask the people to violate the whole.
some precedent set by Washington, and TO
reverse the rule that has obtained for nearly
a century.
But what is the change to be? Will your
government resemble the present one in any
essential particularsY Will you retain the
forms Of the Constitution and only abolish
the substance? Or will you do away with
all pretence Of popular government? Will
your chief magistrate be called President, and
be inaugurated for life? Or will he be re-
elected at stated periods, under the auspices
OF the army, and at elections under the ex-
elusive control Of the central authority
Thus far you have informed the people
only that the government must be made
stronger that is, the authority Of the ruler
must be increased, and that OF the laws and
the people diminished Senator Sharon
and others say explicitly that the people
must be controlled by force; that local dis
turbances, such as labor strikes, must be
met by the grapeshot Of the central gov.
eminent and that all disputes between
workingmeu and capitalists must be settled
in favor of the latter by the Federal sword.
Col. Scott promulgated similar views soon
after the riots OF 1871; and this is evidently
the drift and purpose of the loud demand for
strong government. They say It is necessary
for the protection Of the rich, and the rich
must and will have il. 10 that end a large
standing army is required, an army to be sup
ported by thesweat Of working people, against
