The Juice OF the Tomato Plant as an
InsecticIde,

AhAO NuhSS VI NV AOutuN Vhhh MS uhA
Insecticide,
A writer in the DeutSche Ztetang says
that last year he had an opportunity Of
trying a remedy for destroying green
fly and other insects which infest
plants. The stems and leaves of the
tomato are we'll boiled in water, and
when the liquid is cold it is syringed
over plants attacked by insects. 1t at
once destroys black Oh green fly, cater
pillars, etc.; and 1t leaves behind a
peculiar odor which prevents insects
from coming again for a long time. The
writer says that he found this remedy
more effectual than fumigating, wash
ing, etc. Through neglect a house of
camellias had become almost hopelessly
infested with black lice, but two syr-
ingings with tomato plant decoction
thoroughly cleansed them.

the party leaders gave theiI best thought and
their best services to the great end OF eectine

NAV be the Interior aims of the Liberal Min

resources of common law in the effort to convict
the leaders of the Land movement The
number of counsel employed to assist the
regular staff of legal advisers is so large that
the Government is charged by partlsans of the
League with a deliberate attempt to buy up all
the eloauence in the Irish capital; and one of
tbe officials has been empowered to lease sey-
oral small buildings wherein hundred or more
witnesses can be lodged under the protection of
the police during the approaching tIlais. The
Indictment has been drawn with extreme care,
there being no fewer than nineteen separate
commits for offences of which the accused already

EOUJL REPRESENTITTON.

Anything more preposterous than The Erening
P0sfs solemn argument against the constltutionality
of making exPreslients Senators at-Large can
rarely be found. With the airs of a schoOlmaster
It tedously expounds the facts as to the organiza-
ton Of the Senate which most schOol-bOys learn
among their earlier lessons. and then innOcently
hments that THE TRIBUNE regards adherence to
these as har-spltting.
1t is a pity that so much incapacity to under
stand should be coupled with so much eager
ness to censnre. There is need of be-
Jogging the case with many words. The Con-
stitutIOn guarantees the right of all the
States to equal representation Ill the Senate.
Granted, nobody wants to interfere with it, nobody
proposes that any State shall have less or more thar
two Senators-a representation exactly eque, TO that
of every other State But there is proyso forever
forbdding the admission Of other members, not
representing any State, neither is 1t provided, as
The Post ignorantly supposes, that the
two Senators, sent by any State,
shall always have a thirteenth. thirty eighth
part of the voting power of the body. 1t is only
provided that they shall have as much as the Sena-
tors sent by any other State. This nobody ques-
lions and nobody dreams of interfering with.
Mr. Blaine was great deal too wise for any such
absurd suppOstion that of The P0st. He rested
his objection on the belief that, while the
ex-President would theoretically be sent
to represent the NatiOu-at-large, he might
on account of State pride and human nature"
represent only the State he last FROM and that
thus there would be, in effect though not
in letter. violation of tie spirit
of the provisO for equal representation. This
seemed to rs so narrow and technical a view that
we were surprised TO get it from Mr.. Blaine. We
are not in the least surprised to get it from The Post
4. til,
sidered on its merits 1t is no new notion lit has
from time to time been advocated by men whom it
is rather droll to find The Post trying
to instruct in the horn-book of constitutional
law. There are certain obvious advantages in it
