THE REPUBLICAN party is responsible not
only for the dsorderly strike in Cleveland,
but for all the other strikes that occur in
this country. It persists in its opposition to
any abatement in the high tariff, adopted as
a war measure. That tariff not only reduces
the purchasing value of wages by increas.
ing the price Of the necessaries of life, but
induces the importation of foreign labor;
and those'two consequent effects of pro-
tective tariff combined are highly conducive
to all manner of labor strikes.

LoCUsTs ON THE PACIFIC CoAsT.-Cali-
fornia and Oregon are liable to occasional
ravages of three species Of locusts, the most
dangerous of which is che great Rocky
mountain locust, whose ravages several
years ago came near starving out the people
oftwo or three Western States. These locusts
are remarkable for its power of flight, and
travels in dense swarms high up in the air,
darkening the sun or filling the sky with
the glistening light of their wings. Obser-
vers have stood on the highest peaks OF the
Rocky mountains and straining their eyes
upward have seen the sky filed with clouds
of these tiny, soaring insects, so high as to
be barely observable. These insects, after
devastating one region, rise into the air to
look for fresh fields and pastures new.

THE MORNING republican organ OF Wash
incton, which is also the Washington organ
of the Mahoneites, says" federal interference
with State elections is virtual denial OF
the right of local self government" ana
Yet the same paper was the Washington
organ of that republican President who after
his nefarious bargain with General Malone
not only availed himself of his accidental
position as President to order federal inter
ferance with State elections" but was auda-
cious enough to proclaim that the "whole
power of the federal government should be
thrown in favor Of General Malone IN the
Virginia State election! Fortunately Tor
Virginia, Mr.. Arthur is not President now,
so that her next State election will be held
without federal interference.
