The Chinch Bug.

The Department Of Agriculture
recommends as remedy for chinch
bugs: first, clean cultivation and
the removal and destruction of all
rubbish; next, rotation Of crops.
Sow oats instead of wheat, or when
fields have been troubled with the
insect put them into buckWheat Or
fax. It is said that sowing a
couple of quarts of flax seed
among other grain is remedy, or
at least will do some good. Roll
ing the ground after the wheat is
soWn in the Fall is recommended.
If the ground could be flooded in
May, the insect would be Destroy
ed. Overlay the ground, when the
area is not too large, with straw
and burn it. Ditching will retard
migration. Sowing strips Of flax,
clover or buckwheat around field
it is said will do some good. The
kerosene emulsion will do good
when the bugs are massing on
corn.

Heroic Act of g. Racine Girl.

RACINE, Wis, May 49, A
young lady whose name could not
be learned, proved herself hero
inc yesterday afternoon. A child
Of James Smith was playing near
the roundhouse of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway,
and was sitting upon the side track
from the coal schultz. The child
was watching an incoming freight
train and did not observe an en-
CINE backing rapidly down upon it
from the coal schultz. The lady
observed the child's danger and
called for it to get off the track.
The child did not hear her and it
seemed certain that the little one
would be crushed to death. 1t
was at this point that the young
lady displayed her courage; at the
immediate risk of her life she
sprang forward and snatched the
child, just as the engine was upon
it. 1t was just in the nick of time,
as the engine struck the lady and
threw her and the child off the
track, Although not seriously
hurt the lady was unable to rise
for some time. The child did not
receive a scratch. The young
lady refused to reveal her name.

A Shoulder Hit for Ginty.

The Marinette Star hits the nail
on the head in the following short
article:
Hoard, Taylor, and the Milwau-
kee Sentinel to the contrary not
withstanding, the gubernatorial
boom of General Ginty has come
to stay. Mr.. Ginty possesses an
avoirdupois of about $50 pounds,
and brain capacity of commensur-
ate proportions. He has, for the
past twenty-five years, been a
persistent, untiring worker in the
cause Of republicanism in the state
of Wisconsin, and has contributed
as much to the success of the
party as any other man in the state;
and is the undisputed choice of the
Ninth district republicans, who
will keep his boom rolling with a
laudable and telling vigor; not
simply that long and efficient party
service may be rewarded, nor
because he resides within the
confines of the Ninth district, but
because he is a man of brains and
possesses the courage Of his
convictions. In short, General
Ginty is just the man the people
Of this great and grand old state
want for their next governor and
the man they will have.

What a Whang is in Maine.

Lewiston (Me,) Journal: In the
wisdom Of the ages there has come
to be something in a name. A
good housewife in suburb OF
Lewiston, whose reputation is OF
thrift, and whose wits are as keen
as the razor's edge, issued cards
not long ago, it is said, for an
afternoon party at her home,
terning it a ''whang" A "whang"
is an unknown term in that vicinity
although they had heard it
employed in metaphoric or
symbolic or hyperbolic sense
many times to the country jubilee
of various kinds. The good ladies
who were summoned didn't know
what to do or how to dress, but
they went just the same, full of
curiosity, and in their most
stunning toilets. The hour was
earley-viz., I P. m.-when the
largest part Of them started. Bets
were even against the field that it
was a quilting bee, one to three
that it was rug bee, and even
against the field that it was just an
ordinary party. When they got
there they found the house in
disorder and every body scrubbing
for dear life. A "whang" is a
housekeeping party and some of
the ladies are sorry that they
didn't dress accordingly.

Yes, they are talking about
Myron McCord, Captain Upham,
Major Scoheld and various other
people, but when the convention
meets all of these gentlemen will
come to the conclusion that the
wisest thing to do is to turn in and
renominate Congressman Isaac
Stephenson, who during the past
six years has made a congressman
who not only reflects credit upon
his district, but upon the whole
state; safe, honest, hardworking

graph.
While the above is true there is
a strong and growing sentiment in
the district for a change. Most
men believe three terms ought to
satisfy the average man. We are
in favor Of change and would be
pleased to see Geo. r. Gardner
nominated.

Total doubtful.

By looking over the table, it will
be seen that if the republicans
carry Indiana, and Connecticut,
and it looks very strong that way,
they can afford to lose New York.
Or, if they carry New Yory, they
can afford to lose all the other
doubtful ones. The Democrats
cannot hope to win unless they
carry New York, Connecticut and
New Jersey, or INDIANA, New
York and one of the others.
1t may be said that some of the
States in the republican list are
close enough to be classed as
doubtful. While this may be true
the same may be said of some
of the ones in the democratic
column. West Virginia and North
Carolina are very close, and II
would not be surprising to see
them go republican.
Certainly the prospects for re-
publican success are very bright.

are free to enter the lists, it is
impossible to understand how
profits in any particular industry
could be kept at an abnormally
high figure. Unless the free-traders
mean that the term monopoly used
by them shall apply to the nation
as a whole the charge has absolute
ly no foundation. If they mean
that protection gives to the
American people a monopoly of
their own markets, protectionists
will admit the fact, and defy any
economist to demonstrate that it is
business of the statesmen Of one
nation to legislate in the interest of
the people of another nation.
If there were no other evidence
to disprove the absurd charge that
American manufacturers, under
the cover of the protective tariff,
are, making unreasonable profits,
the simple fact that there are
plenty of American capital seeking
investment at so low rate as 3
per cent. per annum should serve
as a complete refutation 1t is
simply incredible that keen men
would be content to receive such
small returns on their money if
the field of manufacture offered
the fabulous rewards of which the
free-traders are constantly talking.

The friendship Of most men is
like some plants in the water
which have broad leaves on the
surface of the water, but scarce
any root at all; like lemons cold
within, hot without; full of express
sions, empty intentions; speak loud
and do little; like drums and
trumpets, and ensigns in battle,
which make noise and a show,
but act nothing-mere friendship
in pretense and compliment, that
can bow handsomely, and promise
extensively, and speak plausibly,
and forget all. But a true, real,
active friend whose words are the
windows of his heart,-the notihers
of his affections, such a friend is
rare and hardly to be found

LORD SALISBURY'S PLANS

To forecast OF the Tory Cabinets policy
piven by our regular London correspondent
Yesterday explains Mr.. Parnells change OF
tactics. His abandonment Of obstruction was
"a startling surprise to his followers, who rccog-
nized in him the inventor of this most effective
cxpedient for forcing Irish questions upon the
attention OF English legislators. IL he had
obtained secret information Of the course to be
nnrsued by the Government in amending tho
rnles Of procedure, he would have been shrowd
enough TO foresee the futility of obstruction
in future. 1t is safe TO conclude that he has
altered his Parliamentary tactics in order to
adapt his policy to new political conditions.
The contemplated change Of rules will arm q
bare majority of the Commons with absolute
mower to close debate and to compel divi-
sion at midnight Obstruction will be imprac-
ticable il these drastic reforms are introduced.
Mr.. Parncll is discreet in discerning the newt
able effect of tho proposed rules. He makes
virtue Of necessity in urging his followers
to abandon obstruction.
The Tory Government in proposing these
changes aims TO secure control Of the proceed
ings of Parliament in order to carry Two great
measures during the approaching session. One
is local government bill of democratic
character and the other London municipalities
measure essentially original with the Minis
tcrs. Mr.. Gladstoncs second Government
made preliminary studies In each
field but did not succeed in working out IN
detail its crude projects of legislation. Lord
Salisbury. with the aid of the previous-question
rule. ought not to find it difficult to secure the
r,pa nj
eminent reform. He can take Sir Charles
bikes scheme as the groundwork and build
,lpon it to the satisfaction Of Conservatives
and Liberals alike. 1t is most unlikely that
the introduction Of such measure Will cause
discussions in the Unionist ranks With the
London bill he cannot hope to be equally sue
ccssful. The project of converting the Eng
lish metropolis into four municipalities IN
place. of one is one that will be certain TO OK
cite much adverse criticism. Probably the
Premier intends to have it introduced for tho
sake Of making n pretence of legislative IN
dustry and thereby facilitating the passage OF
the new rules Of procedure. 1t will be brought
forward only to be dropped before the end OF
the session.
Mr.. Gladstone has declared that Home Rule
has the field and that English reform measures
are hopccssy blocked so long as that question
remains unsettled. Lord Salisbury is making
strenuous efforts to remove the block and to
lcgslate for England without reference to Ire
lands demands. Ifhe can succeed in carrying
out his plans he will dull the edge of one or
Nr. Gladstonc's kccncst arguments for Homo
Rule. He will prove that Parliament Is not
reduced to a state of organized powerlessness.
but that it can devote itself exclusively to
English interests. Meanwhile coercion with
Balfour behind it will be good enough law for
Ireland

Will CPITLCI2M

A naval correspondent asks in another col
umn some pertinent questions in relation TO the
Atlanta. He seems to suspect that the snip
il to be sent TO the West Indies in order TO
nrevent Senator Chandler from finding out too
tnuch about the ship and what the officers IN
the Brooklyn Navy Yard and elsewhere really
have to saw about her. What has seemed TO
us hard to understand is the delay in putting
the vessel into dry-dock and ascertalnlng the
extent of the damage caused many months ago
when She scrpcd tie rocks near Newport.
If the Department had spent less time in listen
inc 70 detailed explanations of the best method
Of rebuilding the vessel. and had taken prompt
action IN having the damages due TO Dad sea-
rnanship made good. it would have been more
buSincsslke and efficient. If, moreover. IL
had rcmcdied the original defects III the
mounting of the guns and impaired SIKH ana
energy to the Ordnance Bureau 1t might nave
had ship ready for important service IN inc
West Indies that could in an emergency IRE us
battery As it is, even if the damages caused
bv the grounding do not prove Serious inc
Atlanta will be sent to Santo Domingo win
some Of its guns as useless as pea-shootcrs
This does not seem to us a sensible or business
Ike method of managing the Navy.
Senator Chambers resolutions, calling 1or
information respecting the changes ordered IN
the Roach vessels, are hailed by the Democratic
press as declaration of partisan warfare on
the Navy Department. If this were True IL
would be no more than species OF retaliation
In kind, for Secretary Whitney spent The first
two years of his term in partisan warfare on
his predecessor and Mr.. Roach We do not
believe. however, that Senator Chandler, hepre-
sentative Golf or any other Republican lcsis-
lator has any idea Of settling old scores with
Secretary Whitney. They want new Navy
and are patriotic enough to drop partlSanshlp
and to be grateful to him If he succeeds IN
binding better and faster ships than are now
ailoat At the same time, Senator Chandler
who has had practical experience in the Dc
partmcnt and understands the needs OF the
service, naturally wants to have access to all
the facts in relation to the old and new con-
tracts. 1t is most fortunate circumstance
that there are now two prominent Republicans
in Congress who have recently served in the
Department Of the Navy. They will be intel
Iigcnt but not, we are sure, partisan critics of
Secretary Whitney's administration.
