DR.. Anderson and the CottoI
Worm.

EuWOT CtttkcV.- We uo0 tuc piCd -
ure the other day of hearing DIR. E.
II. Anderson explain his cotton
worm theory before. the Farmers
Club. As your reporter Of the pro-
ceedings of the Club, was careful
to excite without satisfying the Gu
riosity of your readers in reference
to this theory, it viii not, perhaps,
be- unacceptable to them to learn
what the theory Is, and also the
Doctors plan for preventing the
worms invasions.
The Doctor holds that ssheat and
moisture are essential conditions
for the propagation OF the worm =
that under ordinary circumstances
the egg from which the worm pro-
Deeds would not hatch but when
heat and moisture TO an unusual
extent prevail, we have the most
favorable conditions, both for the
batching of the egg and the growth
of the worm. Now when the farm
er piows his land while wet, aud
under a hot sun, he brings about
these very conditions; he raises an
artificial steam, and invites the
worm to..a feast. This accounts for
the fact that the worms always
make th. ir appearance in wet spots.
The farmer in Its hurry cannot
wait after the rains for the drying
Of the whole Geld, but pushes his
blowing while the low spots are
still wet. He thus unwilling y
produces the crop of worms, whose
future progeny is to lay waste his
own, and surrounding. fields"
This theory of the Doctor is en-
tireIy independents of that mystic
rioqs queation OF the Information of
the insect, which still puzzles the
entomologists. It is not affected,
whether the first egg has by some
misrepresentation Of aecidents
been preserved during the previous
winter, OF whether the chry sails or
the moth has escaped the rigors of
that season, or whether finally the
insect entirely. perishes each winter
in this climate, and the moth mis-
CRATES to US from lower ATTITUDES in
the spring. The FIRST eggs. come
from what soui &c they may, must
find favorable surroundings, or else
there will be no first crop aud con-
sequentIy no succeeding crop of the
worms.
The preventive of course is, do
not pillow the land while wet.
1t is true that the beat gener-
ated by plowiug the land while
wet, may be checked by continued
rains, yet. as We never know that
the raius will. continue, it il best to
pillow only when the land is in good
condition. YEA.

The Chicago Times says the republicans
are beginning to be seriously alarmed as
to the success OF their intended projection
ist display on TO- morrow in Chicago.
Committees were out all day Wednesday
canvassing the city for funds, and endeavor-
urers to shut down their establishments
and compel their men to march, bat with
out receiving such encouragement as was
expected. The business men and manu-
facturers. as a rule. were of the opinion
that the cause of protection would scarcely
be benefited by any unnecessary agitation
and many of the heavier ones declared
that the state of their business was such
that they could not shut down witout fail
to fill the orders which they had on hand.
Few were willing to coerce their demo
cratic workmen into taking part in re-
publican parade. and most of them were
of the opinion that their men would not
submit to any such dictation. The com
mittes which had in hand the work OF col
Iectipg the sinews of war reported but lit
tie that was more satisfactory, they having
only succeeded in raising $500. 1t is be-
ginning to be quite evident to the repubG-
can managers that however such scheme
may work 10 a little Hoosier hamlet. where
the manufacturer owns his workingmen
body and SOU. it will act but indifferently in
a great city like Chicago. the workingmen
of which are the most independent and en-
Iiahtened of their class 10 the universe.

WhaEiE M cans.

No man, we presume, will NOW question
the ultimate purpose of the Republican
party as constituted and controlled since
the'treaty of Mentor. 1t is the election
of Garfield as placeholder for Grant and
the assumption by the latter of 40 inde6-
mite term. beginning on the fourth of March,
1885. What means Mr.. Conkling's tall
plume in the thick of the fight. which only
the other day was so conspieuously absent
If il means not this? What means the
sudden charge of the Old Guard all along
the liner What means the tremendous
outpouring of the money of rich third
termers? What mean the grand recep-
tons of Grant. the great parades in his
honor, and the loud hyming of his praises
By the Republican press2 How does he;
TIE rejected of Chicago. becoHss ic the
passing of moment the central hgure of
the conflict, with the attention of the
nation directed toward him, Instead OF
toward the cheap Credit Mobilierist. who
received the nomination and is still the
national candidatei
It is all as plain as tho sln at noon.
The eouspirators do not even attempt to
deny tho bargain completed at Mentor By
Garfield. Grant, ConklIng, Cameron. and
Logan. Garfield has sold out the men
who nominated him to the men gainst
whom they struggled, and he has formally
agreed to deliver the country TO the third
term conspirators in 1884.
And what does the third term imply
| The masses of the Republican party
| thought they understood what it implied.
and firmly believed they had strangled il
at Chioago The Germans, the lndepen-
dents. and the plain working people
thought they understood it. and they gave
clear notice that they meyer would submit
to the outrage. 4 third term of GRAFT as
president i'm plies not merely the humilis-
ton of the nation under the sway OF infa-
nous men like Belknap, Robson, Williams
and Babeoak. These are evils which
might be borne. until corrected By a
majority of the people With free ballot in
their hands. But 1t implies the end of
free elections 1t implies the presence of
the federal power in civil or military form
at every poll. It implies imperialism,
''strong government" standing armies.
