KIN the Moths.

Steadily tho people are besinning to
see the necessity OF killing the insect
pests that produce the crawling worms
that destroy cabbage, cotton, corn and
grapes. A single moth can produce a
thousand worms. Hence the necessity
OF making dead shot at the moths, II
work which the electric light is doing.
The HERALD was the first journal to rec
ommend this light "a tho most potent
method of killing these pests and saving
the fruit. The Sacramento Record
Union has walked up to the Importance
OF the subject, and in recent number
says;
"For several weeks after the electric
lights were put up in this city the side
walks under the street lamps were night.
ly covered with large black water
beetles. Attracted by the light, they
would assemble in large numbers, and,
coming in contact with tho electricity,
they would drop dead on the walk. For
several days past but few OF the beetles
have been seen. Whether the electric
light has "got in its work" so etfectually
as to exterminate that class of bugs, or
whether, like certain styles OF ladies
hats, they are out OF season, is not
known. For weel, past the crop of
bugs killed off by these lights has been
almost entirely OF the class known as
millers. The lamp at the Eldred House,
one block from the State Capitol, it is
estimated, kills nightly at least 5000.
That at the State House also kills large
number. If this light would capture the
Goblin motn in the same manner it would
seem that the question of its extermina-
tion is solved"
Col. Rowland, Manager Of the electric
company, has been sending from time to
time specimens of the moths that are
killed by the electric lights in this city
to MIR. Matthew Cooke, the eminent en-
tomologist OF California, to (which his re-
ply, a few days since, was published in
the HERALD. Since that time Col. How
land has sent other samples and has re-
c,ived the folio wing reply:
SACRAMENTO, June 2tth, 1854.
| Col. C. II. Howiomd.

HARD times, with q vengeance, are
pretty sure to be Incidents of the next
six months. On the principle that it is
nm ill-wind that blows nobody any good,
the Democratic party, in the approach
ing election. may well look to be the
beneficiary of this state of things. We
no more ascribe the existence of the
present distress to the fact that Republi-
cans fill the Federal offices than We as
cribed the late flush times to the same
cause. But the fact remains that the
man whose withcrs are wrung generally
passes his misery to the credit of the
party in power. There were only three
interruptions to Democratic lease of
the national administration which lasted
substantially for sixty years. One was
the fact that, in 1924, there were three
or four Democratic candidates in the
field, resulting in the defeat OF Andrew
jackson although he was the over
whelming popular choice. The second
flowed from the celebrated panic OF
1897, which h resulted in the famous "hard
cider" campaign of "Tippecanoe and
Tyler too" The third was the putting
of Martin Van Buren, in the field to bea,
Lewis Cass. We might add that the
panic 5f>sS57>was followed by the Re.
publican triumph of 1860, alt ough
other causes entered into the disaster.
We think, therefore, that we are justi.
