TIE PATTI CRAZE.

Evidently the people at the East are
very much amused at the excited state into

mans have been bled at a lively rate be-
cause they were unfamiliar with the
resources of modern operate campaigning,
and of the inexhaustitle ingenuity of Mr..
Manager Mapleson in particular. The New
York Post in an amused tone editorially
refers to the crush at the doors of the
Grand Opera House at San Francisco, the
filling of every niche of that spacious edi-
fee, and the arrest Of Mspleson for per-
mitting seats in the aisles, and his release
on bail. 1t adds, with caustic humor, that
it was grave mistake to let him out on
any terms, for SO long as he is at large, and
is granted unrestricted freedom of speech,
the city is in constant peril" From all
which we conclude that the New Workers
are quietly laughing over the ease with
which skilled manager has worked the
San Francisco public up to the highest
pitch.of operatic.frenzy, by methods against
which the more experienced fasteners are
nearly proof-in short, they evidently be-
lieve that the arrest of Mapleson was but
shrewd advertising dodge.

is low complete. Kelly could have no more
absolute power as Mayor than he now has
as "boss" The new system cannot work
more vicious results than the old, even if
bad man becomes Mayor. As the New
York Post puts it: "No measure has passed
the Legislature of recent years that is more
full OF hope for good popular government,
and more full of gloom for the Johnnies
and Mikes, than that just signed by Mr..
Cleveland. 1t means that the city has en-
tered upon a new lease Of prosperity it
gives at last an opportunity for rational
system of city government, instead of the
patchwork of jobs private bills and
deals that have hitherto passed under
the name. 1t might well be celebrated
with the ringing of bells and firing of
cannon, in memory of the liberation of a
great capital from most disgraceful and
humiliating oppression"
The rings and political mandarins
have in all cities their seat of power in the
old form of political machinery. 1t is now
proposed to cast it aside and try better
methods to give the will of the people ex-
preston. AS has been well and forcibly
said, cities are not in need of political
management. "What an inhabitant of a
great city wants from his local government
is not platforms or issues, or vigorous
foreign policy. OF all this he can get plenty
elsewhere" What he wants is business
ability, common honesty and fair economy
in administration. Whenever legislative
power becomes an instrument for the de-
feat of good government, it should be linn
tied, and the people should take to them
selves the trusts heretofore reposed in
elected representatives. The city govern
ment of the future is dawning, and we
sincerely believe it will shine in the full
effulgence of purity in an early high noon.

TIE MARCH OF MUNICIPAL REFORM

The municipal reform entered upon in New
York is of the highest importance to the
whole country, The people of the entire
nation will scrutinize the operation of the
Roosevelt bill with keenes. interest. The
first bill, now law, gives the Mayor OF New
York city sole appoir ting power, and the

THE HEssIAN FLY IN CALIFORNIA.

George W. Watson, living st Maps
| Junction, states that ne first noticed the
ravsges of the Hessiap fly in field near
the California Pacific Railroad, about four
miles from Vallejo, nearly six years ago
also, that it appeared at Naps Junction,
seven miles from Vallejo, one year later.
/ MIR. Browniee, residing at CrestOn, eleven
miles from Vallejo, on the California Pa.
cific Railroad, noticed it on his premises
| four years ago. There are other localities
reported, but all the infested lands may be
bounded within the following lines Com
mencing at Vallejo and extending line to
Bsnicis from thence to Cordelia; thence
to Napa City thence to Browns Valley,
and then to Vallejo. The boundary lines
inclosipg this area will probably be from 40
to 30 miles. 1t must be understood that 1t
is not meant to state that all the wheat
fields bounded by these lines are infested
| with the Hessian fly but the lines are
given from points where infested fields are
reported in their vicinity. The wheat.
growers in the vicinity of Napa Junction
have had their crops seriously damaged
since the pest made its appearance. Some
of the lands infested in past years are sown
in oats and barley this season. A field be-
longing to Mr.. Higgins was sown to wheat
last year.
TIE CROP WAS SERIOUSLY DAMAGED
By the fly this season it is sown in bar
ley the laIve can be found on many Of
the barley roots at the present time. Mr.
Brownlse lost his crop of wheat in 1881 /;
had fair crop in 1882, but in 1888 his
crop on 800 acres was totally destroyed. A
careful examination made this week of a
part of the infested district shows that the
pest is spreading rapidly and as it has
been noted by Professors Riley, Thomas
and others that unusually wet seasons were
followed by an abundance OF the Hessian
flies, it may be expected that this pest will
spread rapidly around the infested districts
during the early part of the coming sum-
mer months. In order that the natural
history OF the Hessian fly may be fully I'm.
derstood, the agriculturists OF the infested
districts should carefully watch and keep
data of the first appearance of the
flies in the fall or spring months ;
also of the appearance of the Sec
ond brood, which is probably in April.
This insect, as a general rule, passes
through two generations annually. 1t has
been mentioned that the first brood de-
posted their eggs upon the leaves of the
young wheat plant. The eggs Of the Sec
ond brood are deposited on the leaves of
the wheat during the latter part of the
spring and early summer, and are nurtured

vidual perversity, or the hard and un.
favorable conditions of modern life. Green
went down in comparatively early life, be-
cause. his delicate physical organization was
unequal to the task his intellect imposed,
and because SO much of his energy was ex-
pended in efforts to better class of man
kind that really could not fully appreciate
his humanitarianism-as popularity defined,
But we are not agreed with those who at
tribute his early physical decline to the
hard conditions of modern life Modern
life stimulates genius, and is quick to rec
ognize 1t. We can find nothing in Green's
life to indicate that he was unappreciated.
Recognition of his powers came as timely
as could be expected. The world is not slow
to welcome high intellectual worth. For it is
not to be expected that it will drag genius
forth, when it purposefully hides itself
from view. When it presents itself for its
due, it generally receives quick recognition.
This age is more ready in that respect than
those in which the great intellectual lights
| of past centuries burned. If Green vast
some Of his earlier years in the expendi-
ture OF his abilities upon the betterment
of class of people who did not discover
the great jewel of his worth, it was not
the fault of an apprecistive world,
for no sooner did he claim its at
tention, than he received the
heartiest approval. There are lives
wasted because of mis- direction of genius,
but surely the world cannot therefore be
charged with these failures. Neither can
it be Justly laid at the door of mankind
that many great minds overleap the
bounds of physical endurance. 1t is ad-
mitted in the criticism referred to that
Green, from early youth, was of delicate
physique, and while more than Jealous in
historical studies and researches, so mod.
est and retiring was he that he could
scarcely be induced by intimates to trust
his Short History of the English Peo-
pie " to the press. Yet no sooner was it
sent forth than it met with universal
favor, and the Communications and rewards
of his genius could scarcely have been
more ample. From that day there was no
lack of appreciation. Few modern books
have had such victory. His subsequent
works but augmented his popularity, and
in remarkably brief time he was the sub
iect of intellectual plaudits wherever the
English tongue is spoken. That his ASST
duty exceeded his physical capacity testi-
fed to the fine grain of his powers and the
demands of his great genius. Bat how
can it be said that the world is at fault for
his decay? Genius very often is i'll mated
with the material part, and seldom indeed
can the world equalize the disproportion.
In the case of the historian, Green, the
world Of intellect has nothing with which
to reproach itself, and if material aid :"
did not afford him earlier the means by
which to manifest his genius, it is very
difficult to see why it should be charged to
want of appreciation, since too retiring

AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATIONS.

There is before Congress a Jain the old
bill for the establishment OF agricultural
experiment stations. The bill should pass,
and California should have one or more of
the stations. Indeed, if the law is en-.
acted, it may be taken for granted that
one of the locations will be made in this
State, for the reason that no test of agri.

be of the slie htest value to the agricult
