TIE BLACK WORMS.
They Have Reached HALEY In Force,
and are Making for the Upper
Country.

They Have Reached HALEY In Force,
and are Making for the Upper
Country.
For some days past reports have
been heard of the presence of new
worm along the bench close to the
foothills, between Silver Creek and
Bellevue, and few days ago, Mr..
Taylor, who lives at the HALEY race
track, has noticed few here and
there in his garden. They are about
four inches long, generally black, but
with yellow ''stomachs," if such they
can be called, have round, fiat heads,
and sort of little horn sticking up
about an Gig nth of an inch FROM the
end Of the tail; they have a multi
tude OF legs or creepers. They are
exceedingly sleek and fat, and float
on the water, although they avoid
bitches, etc, as rule. They do not
attack anything about ranches or gar
dens except tame rose bushes, which
they puncture and kill. To keep
them off Mr.. Taylor has surrounded
his rosc-bushes with sheets of tin,
which they are compelled to go around
as they cannot crawl up. They never
60 out Of their course, if they can
help it, and climb over haystacks,
barns and houses, crawling up one
side and down the other.
Yesterday they appeared in large
numbers on the race-track, and it is
impossible to walk there without
trampling many of them to death.
There must be millions of them, and
they have come along the track, Just
like ordinary tramps, marching in a
solid column wide as the ground
turned or plowed over while the rail-
way was building. They have also
roamed to the foothills, from the track
east, but the Haley town ditch de-
fected them from their course. and
we probably owe it to the ditch that
the town has escaped their visitation.
Yesterday, when they began crawl
ing over the house, Mrs. Taylor at
tempted to sweep them off with a
hroom-an exercise which she kept
up for a few minutes; bus as they
kept coming in greater numbers, she
finally closed up the doors and win
dows, and abandoned the field. As
the worms dropped from the house
they curled up in a small coil, and la,
there on the ground, as if stupeticd.
They have kept coming to-day, and
there seems to be no end of them
But as they move right along, and prob
ably travel three or four miles day
two weeks ago, it will be remembered
the TINES reported them near Sho
shone) they will doubtless keep or
until they reach the upper country
where they will either freeze to deatl
in the mountain SHOWS, or cross the
Sawtooth range into the Salmon rive
. valley.

Cleveland's innocent soul greatly; but

When lady holding high social

her husband, sees charge of indecency
published against strange gentleman, and
enters upon personal private correspond

his signature confidently conveyed, the as
surances that in one instance at least he
has been guilty of irregularity in the exer-
else of the sexual instinct, but has arisen
from his liaisons with mind so free from
guile, with purity so unsullied, as never
to have seen any living woman whom he
had reason to suspect was in any way
bad - and when the husband uses part
of that confidential correspondence in po-
litical speech, the whole affair is so redo
lent of indelicacy, not to say indecency,
that it is a consolation to remember that of
course they are all in the Democratic camp.

MORAL SENSE IS so Dull

That they cannot perceive the degrade
tion of his crime, and it is the shameless
yillainy Of San Franciseo's political bosses
that is answerable from this wretched state
of public feeling. Is there no remedy
for this p YOU will ask, Yes, there is.
Let the people arise, and, putting aside all
of party feeling, record their votes against
every man who has bowed the knee to Hig
gins and wallowed in the Buckley slough.
II were better that San Francisco were
governed by forty men picked at random
from the jail, than that the honor,
decency and manhood of the
people were longer debauched by the in
famous practices of these political scoun-
drels It is awful to contemplate the equa-
nimity with which our officers announced
their belief that there were 1000 fraudu-
lent names on the register. Every one be-
lieves that to he true, every one knows who
caused them TO be put there, how they will
be used, and who will pay for them. Yet
the hangman's moose is idle, and the toll of
the Vigilante's bell is not heard in the
city. OBSERVER.

ONE thing about the Ohio October cleo
ton must have struck all thoughtful men
the decadence of the Prohibition vote
Temporary it may have been, but GER
tain it IS, that the Prohibitionists went
back to the party of their original love
some to the Democratic and some to the
Republican. The Prohibition vote indeed
was so small as actually to cut no figure in
the fight. What does the fact indicate =?
That the Ohio Prohibitionists have re-
solved not to waste their votes in 1884, and
that in the November election the st. John
and Daniel ticket viii not bring out the
real strength ofthe Prohibition element in
Ohio.

statement of nothings, non-commital and
general, formal and hollow. All the Queen
said the country knew; knew all her Gov
eminent had done and proposes to do in

matter, and exactly what she proposes to
do in the matter OF the franchise And
the country need not be very iar-sighted to
forecast just what viii be done in the

The franchise will be broadcned it must

testing dignity they will come down and

House of Lords will remain, perhaps not

1t it very gratifying to the friends of
American systems to find such critical
journals as the Chicago Current standing
up courageously against the pro-Chinese
sentiment of the East; sentiment based
upon the false assumption that every sort and
manner of people in all parts of the world
have an indefeasible right TO come into
this country whether we wish them or not.
The Current, referring to evils to be appre-
hended from continued importation OF
poor and ignorant people, says; The
press cannot to quickly give this matter a
conspicuous place in its discussions. The
working people in America are the most
intelligent set of laborcrs to be found
When they shall be asked to step down and
out of what they have supposed to be their
heritage, on account of the hungry cry for
work of an over-populated continent, there
will simply be a season of anarchy
The REcoRD-UNIoN enjoys the gratifying
reflection that it has steadily maintained a
protest against the free hospital idea and
has for years urged that the policy of this
nation regarding immigration must en-
brace the restrictive feature, and just to the
extent that will protect the States from the
influx of three classes. o. That are public
burdens from the outset (2) That dispos-
sess the American workers by reason of
ability to live according to standard not
possible of recognition by an American cit
izen who does his duty TO American soci-
ETY. {3) That are criminals and outcasts
for other than political crimes.
The Current further on in its article says ::
The United States, starting with all the
inventions, and with no safety valve of UNI
occupied foreign territory, confronts this
question, namely Can the population of
America keep its present privileges after its
territory shall become entirely occupied?
1t cannot do it. Already it has begun to
pay higher prices for its meat. Fifty years
from now, with uninterrupted immigration,
it will be meat once week for men who
really need meat the oftenest, after the
fashion OF western Europe. Self-preserya-
ton is the first law OF nature, rs well as
individuals Where would America be in
A. d. 2GO0 without the Chinese Restriction
Act? Should not our statesmen look to
the East as well as to the West?
