ARSENIC in vineyards.

A report has been submitted by Professor
Rising, State Analyst, to the Viticultural
Commission, concerning the application of
arsenic as an exterminator for grasshoppers
and concerning the danger to the public
from the use of fruit grown in orchards and
vineyards where the remedy is used. Pro-
fessor Rising found that arsenic had been
an effectual check in the vineyards near
Fresno. Between 5000 and 1000 pounds
of the drug had been used in that vicinity
not 10000, as has been reported. The
arsenic was applied in thick paste, and was
laid either on shingles or on the ground. It
was not used in the form of powder. From
his observations. Professor Rising arrived
at the following conclusions
1.-THE general conclusion which | draw
from observation and experiments is that
there is no probable danger from the use of
grapes from the vineyards that have Wis
tied in the case of the wine made from
them, none whatever; and so slight in the
case of the raisins as to be entirely left out
of account 1t would be well to caution
vineyardnen TO be very careful TO gather
up all the arsenic that has been put out
In subsequent report l will advise in re.
gard to the disposition of the arsenic so
gathered up"
The Professor has been requested to re-
port not only upon the disposition to be
made Of the arsenic after it is gathered up,
but also upon the probable changes that
may take place by possible combinations
with the elements of the soil, with special
view of .ascertsining whether it will re-
main in soluble form in the soil, or
whether if, by any application TO the soil,
it might be rendered insoluble also, as to
the probable danger of percolation and
distribution, by mixing with the soil
water and to what extent il might become
dangerous TO the public.-ES. F. Bulletin

The Rev. DR.. r. A. Holland Of Trinity

IT comes from Democratic sources that
there is much dissatisfaction already deveI-
oped over the methods of the newly reorgan-
lied Democratic Civilservice Board. A Wash
ington special to the Louisville Courier j our
nal says that "the Civil-service Commission
has beenrunning at loose ends for some time,
and its true character is coming to be pretty
well known. Through many and divers
sources complaints are frequently heard and
received by public men here about the method
of examination pursued by. the Civil-service
Board. Civil-service reform in any shape or
form is hateful to the Democratic party, and
some way or other will be found to root oat
the last remains of it. No sooner had the
Democratic administration been installed than
it became necessary to change the personnel
of the board, and now the attack is made
against the newly appointed administrators
Every candid man must admit that the Dem
ocratic party is alien soil for civil service re-
form, and that, to the present time, there is
not the slightest indication that it has taken
permanent root in the organization.

The New York World has had correspondents
in Georgia and Kentucky reviewing the situa-
tion and the result OF their labors will be pub

mountains where ''moonshine" whisky and law
lessness abound, but that in other sections,
where the people have won their fight, crime has
been gradually lessened; that prohibition
gained its first victory in the State in Built
county, twelve years ago. and that county,
which then one of the most lawless, is now
one Of the most orderly counties in the State;
that the sentiment Of the State is rapidly ceas-
ing to be merely for temperance and has taken
firm stand for prohibition, the prohibition vote
in the State being 39,3o5. out OF total of 277,-
600; that the prohibition workers have declared
that they mean to submit to the coming Legs
lature general law placing the issue squarely
before the people, aud that plans are being con-
Sidered to nominate full State ticket in 1884,
Judge Fountain r. Fox, the head Of the Prohi-
bition party in Kentucky. is quoted as saying:
''If the Legislature does not adopt our Law it

THERE has been a gathering of the Cimri in
the vicinity of Pittsburg, which was very sue
cessful indeed One of the features was the
award of prize for the best poem on General
Grant and the account states that "the aged
and venerable D. Cadwgan, the adjudicator
of poetry, announced the result Of the adjudica
ton on " Cadfridog Grant,, or the ode to
Grant After commenting in complimentary
manner upon the general excellency Of the
poems, he announced the one of highest merit,
that of Rev. D. Davis, of Parisville o. The
very pretty ceremony called chairing the bard,
was then performed, D. T. Evans taking the
place of the Rev. Davis, who was not present.
The ceremony consists of passing the bard be-
meath TWO swords, one held on either side of him,
and their points meeting above his head to the
poets chair. This ceremony among the Welsh is
equivalent to browning with laurels. The first
two verses of the successful poem read:
"'Du Ivy tn DIR VT Unol Dalaethau

Rhoed Grant ddewrfron eu givron gorau,
40 dan ingaedd croydon angau!

It will be conceded, we think, that this Welsh
poem is very far in advance of most of the
English verses produced upon the same theme

grade, have the right to assassinate, then any
man or gang Of men may consistently claim
the same right. The acquittal of these scoun-
drels would incite others to like deeds and no
mans life would be safe. It is a perversion
of justice and wrong upon the people to
step between these men and their deserts. It
were well for the people of New Orleans and
of louisiana were they to rally around the
plucky preacher who has the moral courage to
speak out against this Gripping of the law in
order to allow miscreants to escape.

JUDGE FORAKER. will be inaugurated on
Monday next, the 4th instant, as Governor of
Ohio, and on the same day the Legislature
will convene. Then the trouble will com
mence. Considering the Infamous and dis
graceful prostitution of the Democratic Su-
preme Court in the interest Of fraud and
forgery, the Republicans should use every le-
gitimate power to circumvent the crimes by
which it is attempted to defeat the will Of the
majority as expressed in the recent election.
The Republicans have clear majority in the
lower house, and not a day should be
allowed to pass until the men from
Hamilton county, who hold stolen seats
on fraudulent certificates, are ANONYMOUSLY
expelled and the rightful representatives
seated. The scoundrels who quietly receive
stolen goods should not be allowed to enjoy
their possession a moment longer than is
necessary to kick them out under the orderly
forms Of law. The Democrats have major
ity in the Senate by virtue Of the Supreme
Courts corrupt decision, and it is possible
that justice cannot be administered there
speedily and without delay; but it is the ex-
pectation that Judge McIlvaine, who is still
incapacitated from active service, will promptly
resign the four weeks that will remain to
him that his successor, already elected, may
be appointed to ell the short vacancy, and en-
ter at once upon the duties of his Office.
With the Supreme Court thus purged, way
will be opened to do equal and exact justice
between the representatives of the people and
the representatives Of crime. When The two
houses of the Legislature are purged of the
men who hold seats by crime, and Hon. John
Sherman is reelected to the United States
Senate, the Legislature can settle down to
other business But the first duty is to see
that the Democratic party does not enjoy the
usufruct of fraud and forgery for single
unnecessary hour.

The canvass of the House Of Representa-
tives upon the silver question gives lab Dem
ocrats and SO Republicans who are opposed to
the suspension of compulsory silver coinage,
and 80 Democrats and 81 Republicans who
are in favor of it. In this list all the Demo
Gratis from Indiana, and two Republicans, are
put down as favoring the continued dumping
of silver dollars into the Treasury vaults at
the rate of two million dollars month. Two
Indiana Republicans are reported to be in
favor Of the repeal of the compulsory law.
1t is hard to understand why the
most devoted friend of silver should insist
upon continuing compulsory coinage. Ger
tainly nothing is to be gained by such a
course, and there is very much to lose. The
Journal believes in the two metals, gold and
silver, and does not want to see monometalism
Of either kind forced upon the country.
The present administration is remark
ably hostile to silver, more so than any
of its predecessors, and it can and will do
much to discredit it, especially if Congress
concludes to continue the law compelling the
Secretary of the Treasury to turn out from
the minis specified number of dollars The
best thing that can be done to ease the silver
glut and to avoid possible financial disaster,
is to pass bill repeating the compulsory
coinage clause, and leave it with the admins
tration to coin so many dollars as may
be necessary for the healthful con-
dition of trade and to keep the
two metals in joint and concurrent circulation,
and then to withdraw all the bank notes be-
low S. denomination so that the subsidiary
coin, the money of the people, with which
they do their small current business shall he
silver. These measures ought to be tried be-
fore anything else is done. Unless some ease
ment is given by the action of Congress, it is
quite within the power of the hostile Demo
cratic administration to still further discredit
silver and bring about possible stringency,
for which it will and can hold Congress re-
sponsible. Give the discretion to the admin
istration, and then let the President and Sec
rotary work out the question in their own
wav

AN incident happened at the tomb Of Gen.
Grant, on Saturday, that suggests an easy
way Of raising the money needed to build
monument. 1t is related that Mrs Grant and
COL Fred. Grant visited the tomb, bringing
with them wreath of flowers to place upon
1T. When they had gone, white haired ex-
soldier from Galena, H., begged permission of
Officer flaming which was accorded, to kiss
the wreath left by Mrs. Grant Another
gentleman, from San Francisco, was affected
to tears, and asked to be allowed to cut some
blades of grass near the tomb. A lady offered
ten dollars for flower from the wreath, but,
