in January. 1884, less than two years
ago, that Governor Fostar gave place
to Governor Hoadly 1ne latter has
long held an honorable position in
every way. The Inter Ocean. has never
questioned the integrity Of Governor
Hoadly. nor heard it questioned, and
his ability is among the best But what
Is the result Of the changer When the
Democracy came into power at Colum-
bus the State Treasury had in il q sur
plus OF more than $500, 900, but now 1t
is on the verge Of bankruptcy, and,
what is more, the bonded debt OF the
State has been increased more than
$10,000,000. At the same time the
burden of taxation has also increased
beyond all precedent 1t may be said
that the Legislature has done it and not
the Governor, but the Legislature was
Democratic, the same body which
elected Mr.. Payne United States Sena-
tor. 1t is not important to separate ex-
ecutiye from legislative responsibility,
for each belongs to this same party.
As a fair sample of the itemized bills,
which go to make up the account Of the
Ohio Democracy, take the penitentiary.
Under the Republicans, with their
economical management, It was not
only self-supporting but had a surplus
Of S53, 900, but II was not eight months
after the Democrats took the reins be-
fore the surplus was exhausted and the
penitentiary was in debt $40, 900. Ohio
is a large and ,populous State, with a
! good many State institutions 10 main
tain, and when it comes to extending
that sortof pronigacy to them all 1t Is
no wonder the bonded debt has run up
so enormously.
It.can not be said that the Buckeye
Democrats are exceptionally bad. On
the contrary, they compare most favor
ably with their fellow partisans in the
country at large. Indeed, it is herein
the banner State. Take the leaders,
Thurman, Pendleton, Payne, Hoadly,
Ward and Bishop; in no other State
can the Democracy make better
showing, and the general average 0l
4 the party is on the same relative scale.
II there was State in all the Union in
which it would be prudent to trust the
Democracy that State would be Ohio.
> just now the National Democracy Is
being tested and judged by few ap.
pointments-here marshal and there
acollector a or postmaster, and for the
present no other standard Of judgment
can be applied; but in due time the
seeds Of Democracy will begin to bear
fruit OF the National kind, and then the
country will have something more ia
think about than little patronage, and
we know what answer the National Ad.
ministration will furnish to the old but
pertinent question: ado men gather
grapes of thorns or figs Of thistlesp

DEMOCRATIC RULE.
It's Significance from an Economic stand
point.

.F point.
1t is very well known thatwhen the
Democratic party turned the National
Government over to the Republicans
the Treasury was empty, with deficit
Of several millions and no credit, while
the Republican party, when its turn
came at last to give account Of its trust,
had 1854, 900, 900 to turn over, mot in
bills receivable and mere accounts, but
real money. In all finance can be found
no parallel TO this contrast
The Democrats attempted TO break
the force Of II by putting In the plea
that rebel sympathizers stole and squan-
dered the money in the interest Of those
cession they were already plotting. and
that the party as q whole should not be
held responsible, especially as that REQ
ord Ii musty with age. So far how
ever, from It's being an exceptional and
hntiquated case II Illustrates the differ
ence between the two parties. The
difference between tho Chicago Treas
ury when our latest Republican Mayor
went into Office as contrasted with It's
condition when he went out was quite
as great, only on smaller scale. And
the States which have alternated be-
tween the two parties have had much
the Same experience. Such States as
Illinois aud Iowa, which do not expert

proposed to utilize this ugly blot and
erect thereon a memorial arch In hon.

statesman made him known and
honored oil over the country. The
work is to be done by private sub.

brightest lawyers. The movement is
assuming definite form, and we hope
will be met with substantial aid BY

mired the genius Of so distinguished

ANNAPOLIS. MD, WEDNESDAY EVENING" MAY q 1885.


TuE Seventeen Year Locusts have
put ID al appearance and are climbing
the trees 10 large quantities. They
are tender jet, and have not acquired
sufficient strength to make the air
vocal with their peculiar song. From
the Sun We learn, that when the To-
Gusts frst issue from the ground and
are soft an army of ants win attack
them, and birds ofvarious kinds sprey
on them. The locust is harmless,
but persons before handling it should
be sure that the digger wasp or
"Stizzus Grandis" is not hung TO the
insect. Il is this wasp that 10 locust
years causes so many deaths that are
credited to the locust. This large
wasp about the size Of locust comes
with each return of the seventeen
year lOcusts % prey on them. The
sting Of the wasp causes death FREE
quently 10 two hours. In q short
time the female locusts will commence
laying their eggs in the young branch
es Of the trees, selecting those less
than an inch in diameter. From the
points Of puncture the limbs die out
to the tips, and hanging from the
trees through the season present a
peculiar appearance that calls the at
tention Of all to the fact that it is To-
Gust year.

A disease has lately broken out
among the horses in this section that
has somewhat bafled the skill Of our
most experienced veterinary horse
men, and several farmers have lost
valuable horses from it. Some are of
opinion that it is caused from some
poisonous substance they get to eat.
The same disease or trouble we are
told, existed during the seventeen
year locust before, which was traced
to the animals eating the leaves of
trees that were infected by the locust,
but as these pests have not made
their appearance yet, to any extent,
(only q few of them have been seen, j
it cannot be traced to that cause.

But that attractiveness, at any rate
in the winter season, is wonderfully.
great. After a few days at the best
hotel, we decided that, in order to spend:
a winter in Jamaica W4th any comfort.
it would be necessary to keep house,
and so went to look at furnished houses
in the mountains back of Kingston
To do this we had to drive 20 the foot
hills, and then go on horseback over
the narrow bride paths which led to-
the summit of the mountains. We
wound about through the mountains
gOrges, thickly planted with broad
leaVed bananas and occasional orange
groves. Perched above them on the
steep sides we saw solitary negro nuts,
matched with palm, with sides woven
Of rude wicker work. 1 had read so
often Of travellers who felt a thrill Of
delight at the first sight Of tropical
vegetation that I had come to distrust
them, and was amazed to find chat
there really was something thrilling in
the sight Of even such a mildly trOpi-
cal vegetation as we saw that day
There were myriads Of hibiscus shrubs
with glowing scarlet blossoms. pOin-
settias waved across the way like red
flags, purple passion flowers twined
along the patch, and strange orchids
and ferns nodded from its sides. Long,
thin cacti crawled over the rocks like
green snakes, and near them grew i'm
mense clusters Of pink begOnia, which
the boy with us called rock bush. 1t
was not that the vegetation, at least in
the part of the mountains which we
traVersed, was denser or finer than in
some damp northern forest, or the
flowers more plentiful, but that they
were either new or that such as we are
accustomed to see cherished in hot
houses here grow wild.
After passing for two hours through
scenery Of the widest and most pic
turesque beauty we finally reached the
summit, where the view was superb.
The mountains below US looked like an
angry ocean, and beyond them we saw
Kingston harbOr and the Caribbean
sea. In spite of all the practical draw
backs to living here, it is quite a mis-
taken theory that either an artist or a
bOtanist has completed his education
if he has not been to Jamaica.
