MJriads of Army Worms
Philadelphia Record

The army worm, in millions and my.
riads, is moving from almost every omar
ter toward Philadelphia. In Delaware
and on the eastern shore of MARYLAND II
has appeared in countless thousands
and is overrunning the country from
Kent county, Delaware. and Caroline
county, Maryland, to such an extent as
to fill the farmers with great alarm.
Large numbers are moving north, and
some Of them have got into Newcastle
county as far as Wilmington. They at
tack timothy fields and destroy every
leaf on the stalks In the fields
where there are mixed grasses they
eat up the timothy without disturbing
the others. Fields of young corn have
been stripped to the ground, and even
the stalks of tough, well grown corn
have been destroyed by the devourlng
millions. Fortunately, the wheat is be
yond their reach, and no harm has been
done to the ripening grain. At points on
the Delaware Railroad and the branch
Pennsylvania roads the restless masses
of insects have ia crossing been encoun-
tered by trains which have been detain
ed, because the engines in passing
over those on the rails have
crushed them into a slippery mass.
On the Delaware and Chesapeake
Road recently a special train, which
had stopped to avoid collision with a
drove of cattle, was started again with
difficulty on account of the large num-
Der of worms which were crossing the
track, it being impossible to get the
wheels of the locomotive started fer
some time. Reports from New jersey
and Upper Pennsylvania say that tho
army worm is also sweeping over large
sections of country, destroying the hay
and damaging the young corn. The
west, and as those from Delaware and
Maryland are moving north, all of them
may meet somewhere near this city.

Oddities Of AnnOrtiOnment

WASHINGTON Correspondence Baltimore Sun
If the new apportionment of members
OF the House was made according to the
number Of voters in each State, instead
of according to population, some States
would either fare better or some other
States would fare worse For instance.
Maryland. which has 292, 100 voters, is
entitled to six Representatives, while
Alabama, with only 259, 1874 voters, is en-
titled to eight Representatives, and Cali
fOrnia, which has 329, 1902 voters, or
nearly 100, 900 more than Maryland, will
have the same number of Representatives
in the next House, six. Mississippi with
only 5000 more voters than Maryland,
will have one more Representative.
South Carolina, with 26, 900 less voters
than Maryland, will also have seven Rep.
resentatives Maryland before the first
census was assigned six members of the
House. Under the census of 1890
her membership was increased to eight.
In 1900 it was increased to nine,
and remained at that figure
until 1880, when it was reduced to eight.
In 1910 it was reduced to SIX, and in
1860 to five. In 1870 it was increased
again to six, which figure is retained under
the census of 1880, 60 that Maryland
now, after the lapse of a hundred years,
has ths same membership in the House
of Representatives with which she
started. Old Virginia, under the appor-
tionment of 1890, had nineteen Repre-
sentatives; under the apportionment of
1880 the two Virginias will have fouz-
teen Representatives Virginia, uader
the apportionment of lab, had twenty
three Representatives. the same number
as Pennsylvania. From 1890 to 1910
Virginia had more Representatives than
any other State. New York started, in
1890, with ten. and under the appor-
tionmept Of 1880 she will have thirty
four. The largest number Of members

The Mecklenburg Declaration of indie.
pendence is a document containing four
resolutions, said to have been adopted
by committee of citizens of Nee. len
burg county, NC, who met at Char
lotte on May 20, 1875, and passed these
resolutions declaring themselves to be "a
free and independent people. There has
always been much Obscurity surround
ing the earlier history of this celebrated
paper, but its authenticity was indorsed
in Wheeler's History of North Caro-
lima, and Bancroft evades the question.
1t is now claimed that it was clumsy
canard, which made its first appearance
in the Raleigh Rtgtster in 1919 John
Adams wrote to Thomas Jefferson con-
corning it, expressing establishment that
he had not before heard of it. eff had

son replied in a letter, in which
he announced his disbelief in
the commences of the Mecklenburg
paper. Lately discovered evidence, &C
cording to the New York Sun, corrob-
crates this view, and the famous Meek
lenburg declaration passes into history
as one of the hoaxes common in the
early years of the nineteenth century.
There Is possible basis of fact for the
story, nevertheless. On May 81, 1775, a
preamble and twenty resolutions breath.
ing of revolution were adopted by a
county committee at Charl Ute, and these
resolutions were published in the South
Carolina Gazette of June, 1775. A copy
was forwarded to the Secretary of State
at London by Governor Martin, accom-.
panied by letter vigorously denouncing
the 'horrid and reasonable publication :"
But these resolutions were wholly unlike
the Jefferson declaration of July, 1776,
whose language the spurious Mecklen-
burg document follows literally in many
sentences

4 SETTLED QUESTION,

The congress of the United States
seems to have wonderful time wrest-
ling with the Mormon question. 1t
gives these able law makers world of
trouble. Yet while the introduction Of
resolutions, and denunciations have
been going on for years, this stencil in
the nostrils all civilized people, this
moral ulcer, this open violation Of all
laws of decency, is allowed to go on at
the will Of the perpetrators, and the ma.
ton seems powerless to abridge or
check it. All the punishment offered
up to the present time being SIMPLY a
refusal to admit Utah as state, while
their constitution does not forbid a
man having a dozen wives If he wants
them. What do they care whether
Utah is admitted as a state or not. 1t
is nothing to them; hence this is no
punishment. But the lower house of
congress has hit the nail square on the
head this time, and Mormonism is
knocked into cooked hat. And that
simply by introducing resolution de-
claring a man Ineligible to seat in
Congress ifhe practices polygamy or
bigamy. And inasmuch as every wo-
man, man and child in Utah expect to
be members of congress, that of comse
settles the matter and Mormonism will

before being taken from the court

As predicted in The Wing of Wed.
nesday last the visit to Quincy of Mr.
L. D. Tuthill general superintendent Of
the St. Joseph & Western division oi
the Union Pacific railway, and Mr..
Lowell Judson, president of the pro-
posed new road, which is to be built
from St. Joseph to connect with the
Q. M. & P. division of the Wabash,
will probably result in railway changes
which will prove of the highest impor-
tance to this city. These gentlemen
made tour of inspection over the Q.
M. & P. road, examining the line critl-
cally, and both were highly pleased
with the condition of affairs as they
found them. 1t is now stated that it is
probable that the Q. NJ. g. P. will be
leased to the Union Pacific company,
as the Union Pacific is desirous of Sc
curing an eastern outlet of their own
for their immense business. The road
now practically terminates at Fl Kear.
ney, where business is turned over to
other lines. 1t controls the St. Joseph
& Western from Fl. Kearney to St. 10.
seph, and when the new lines is built
to St. Joe to the junction OF the Q NJ.
& P. the lease of this road would give
them line to the Mississippi river at
Quincy, and to the east over the Wa.
bash. Mr.. Jay Gould, who controls the
Wabash, is also largely interested in
he Union Pacific, and it is stated that
he would not be averse to the new Or
Ter ofthings, which would make to
Union Pacific and the Wabash a great |
line, via Quincy. In
he event OF these changes the Wabash
rill at once build their line from the
ast into this city.

A BRUTAL EXHIBITION.

That men should in the heat Of
anger take pleasure in Furnishing each
other physically is nothing more than
We nigh. expect. But when men train
for weeks preparatory to hand to hand
combat, in which they are to pound
each other until one or the other, or
both are carried from the ground ex-
hausted, almost killed, there is some
thing radically wrong, not only in the
parties engaging in such a rencoun-
ter, but in the condition of society
which encourages such an inhuman
and brutal practice and in the laws of
country which will tolerate a violation
of every principle Of humanity, civiliza.
ton and decency. We talk of the
morbid tastes of the people OF Rome
who filled the amphitheatres 70 witness
the combats between the gladiators
and wild beasts, but how much super
ior were the thousands who focked to
the scene of the fight between Sullivan
and Ryan on Tuesday last. We may
talk of our superior refinement and
civilization and all that, but while such
scenes as that are witnessed among us,
the claim can't be established.
