Harriaon and the Chinese.

Harrison's friends in the east are using
his votes on the Chinese question to gam
him the support Of the capitalists and the
manufacturers, while in the west and
among the working mon they are trying
to obscure the record.
On his way home from Chicago, ex-Col-
lector Robertson declared that Harr1son's
vote on the Chinese question would gam
him votes in the eastern states.
On the other hand, The Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette finds these votes
troublesome in Ohio, and says;
'The Democrat. journals and speakers
are wasting time in attacking Gen: harr1,
son about his Chinese record, as they call
it. His Chinese record consists in taking
due care of our treaty obligations, while
looking to measures to prevent the Chi
nese from overwhelming the Pacific coast.
The Californians are satisfied with the
record of Gen. Harrison. California is as
| certain to go for Harrison as P~ennsylva-
MIA or Oregon"
Perhaps when the record of Gen. Harri.
son is fully given, it will be found that
the Californians are not SO well satisfied
as they seem. The idea of the CONNER
cial Gazette appears to be that If Califor'
mia is satisfied with Harrison's votes or
the Chinese question, Ohio need not dis
turb herself. We reproduce from The
Philadelphia Record, for the information
of u Republican friends, a statement Of
Gen. Harrison's votes on the various
measures designed to restrict Chinese i'm
migration:

are orange red. and near the tips of the
latter there is a dusky zigzag line in the
form of the letter w, supposed by the
superstitious to indicate war. The eyes
are red, the rings of the body are edged
with dull orange, and the legs are of the
same color. The wings expand from W
and one.half to three and one-quarter
inches.
In its many years Of underground life
this insect does more or less damage by
feeding upon the roots of plants, but its
manifest injury is when in the perfect
state the female deposits her eggs IN the
twigs of fruit and other trees, where
punctured limbs, as a rule, languish and
die soon after the eggs are Matched. The
| eggs are of a white color, about one-twelfth
of an inch long and taper at each end
The insects Matched out are grub like III
form and are covered with little hairs,
They soon find their way to the soil,
into which they descend to where the
roots are most abundant. The only change
to which they are subjected during the
long period of their subterranean contine
ment is an increase of size and the more
complete development of the four small
scale like p~rominences on their backs
which represent their future wings
When the time arrives for them to ISSUE
from the ground they come out during
successive nights in great numbers, come
up the trees, fasten themselves to thu
same with their claws and proceed to cas-
off their skins. A long rent appears Il
the skin of the back, and through thi
the cicada pushes itself, and withdrawing
its legs and wings from their separat
cases, crawls away, leaving its empt,
pupa skin.
Within a fortnight after their fna
transformation the females begin to la
their eggs, and in six weeks the Who'll
generation becomes extinct. Such are i
brief the general habits of this remark
able insect, which passes seventeen year
of it's life in the soil and at stated period
appears for a short time to life abov
ground.

Farmers have often noticed on the
breasts and forelegs Of horses minute vel
low specks. These are the eggs of the
horse bot fly. These eggs are licked oil
where laid from irritation and, passing
through the stomach, hatch, and the
Larvae, then pass their lives until ready
again to transform, when they are eX'
truded with the faces, The attachment
to the stomach, is by mean of the hooks,
where it sucks liquid n~ourishment from
the food of the horse. They do not eat
through the stomach, as often supposed,
having no means for so doing; neither do
they cause serious disability, unless in
such quantity as to take the nourishment
so indispensable to the well being of the
horse, or in case they accumulate in such
quantities in the stomach and bowels as
to considerably interfere with the process
of digestion.
The maggot, being mature, let's go its
head to the coat of the stomach, passes
out of the intestinal canal, falls to the
earth with the excrement, makes its way
to the earth, whence it, in about Sly
weeks, transforms and issues as the per
feet fly, lays its eggs upon the ends OF the
| hairs of the horse and dies.
Once the insect is lodged in the stom
ach, little can be done. When they exist
in large quantities, strong purgative'
nay possibly dislodge them. They nevel
eat through the coats of the stomach
The hole sometimes found in the stomach
Of the horse infested with bots is caused
by the action of the gastric juice of tn
animal acting upon inlamed and suppl
rating surfaces. The preventive is t.
carefully clip off all eggs found. Watcl

End Of a piscreditablo Episode.

The vote in the senate on the nomina-
ton of Melville w. Fuller, of Illinois, to
be chief Justice of the supreme court of
the United States, brings out in strong
relief the humiliating fact that the SEN
ators to whom, by reason Of their years,
experience and ability the country assigns
the honors of Republican leadership in
that body, are the very nell whose adora-
ton of their partisan fetch is most sla-
wish and abiect, and who with the least
apparent reluctance give up to party
what belongs to mankind" The nomf-
nation was confirmed by the aid of such
Republican members as Farwell, Cullom,
FRYE, Hale, Cameron, Quay, Davis, Jones,
Mitchell and Riddleberger, while h Mes
tors of the party in the senate, the coll
script fathers of Republicanism. like Sher-
man, Edmunds and Hoar, prostituted
their better impulses and Of justice
and fair play with as little conjunction
as If they had been men utterly incapable
of lofty and honorable action.
The attempt to prevent the contirma-
ton of Mr.. Fuller is one OF the most dis
creditable episodes in the history Of the
United States senate. 1t recalls wildly
the criticism made by o profound and dis
passionate foreign philosopher who, cal,
culating the chances of the perpetuity OF
the republic in the light of the violence
of it's political factions, declared that the
rock upon which the ship of state was
most likely to go to pieces was the rock
of p~artisanship. At no time during the
many months which have elapsed since
Mr.. Fuller's name was sent in have
Messrs. Edmunds and Hoar and their Re
publican colleagues constituting a major
fty of the judiciary committee given tn,
least thought to the considerations whicl
should have chiefly influenced them. A
no time have they weighed the nomina
ton with reference to it's intrinsic merit
or with respect to the interests of tn
court and country. At no time have the.
paid any heed to their highest obligation
as senator's or sought to discharge thei
duty in. the spirit of honest and patriot
public servants.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Fifteen Full Grown Bison and Seven
Calves COrraIled by Texas Cowboys.
G. J. Jones, of Garden City, Kan, bet
ter known throughout the southwest as
Buffalo" Jones, who started with a
party of seven last April to capture alive
the only remaining herd of buffalo on the
plains of Texas, has successfully accom-
plished his purpose, and the shaggy haired
captives are now made acquainted with
civilization and the comforts of q well
kept ranch a few miles from Garden
City. In starting out to capture the am
mails Mr.. Jones calculated that he would
find about one hundred animals roaming
over the plains between the north and
south forks of this Canadian river, but he
found upon arriva there that the number
had been greatly overestimated. There
were hardly two o all told, and these
so scattered that it was with the greatest
difficulty that he and his party of ex'
perienced hunters corralled and saved
from destruction the small herd.
The story of the hunt and the manner
of capturing them has been told from
time to time by dispatches brought 10y
the carrier pigeons sent with the party
a total of fifteen old b~uffaloes and eve
calves were secured and have been care
fully watched by Lee Howard and other
of the party, while awaiting the arriva
of the tame herd owned by MI. Jones
which was used as the guide for the wilt
animals in the. trip north. Mr.. Jone

The Umbrella Was Safe.

office on Washington street. A country
visitor did not wish to carry the dripping
head protector within the precincts of the
Office, and there it remained for fully half
On hour without molestation. Hundreds
were the questive glances cast at the
tempting article, and occasionally some
pedestrian unsupplied with such protec-
tion would advance a step o. two toward
it, but would then draw back and go his
way, evidently thinking it was a trap.

Conclusions About Ensllage.

Professor Henry, of the Wisconsin ex-
pertinent station, who has been investi-
eating the silo system, sumS up his con-
illusions somewhat as follows: l. Even
though ensilage made from Indian corn
has no more feeding value than the same
amount of material dried into good fod-
der, the difficulties and expense of curing
and caring for the dried folders are such
that ordinarily the silo is preferable. 2.
The usual waste from feeding dry fodder
is very considerable, while for ensilage it
need be none at all. 3. Feed can be more
compactly secured in the silo than in any
other way. L.. Husking, cribbing and
grinding corn are useless operations for
The most part, and are expensive and in a
measure wasteful; nothing is added to
the value of the crop by any of these pro
:esses. 5. For the northern corn belt
smaller varieties of corn will give nearly
or quite as much feeding material as the
large varieties, with less labor to handle
them. Lastly, the clover crop is a very
promising candidate for ensilage, and the
Farmer who tries it for the silo will bt
well pleased with the results.

To Keep chinch Bugs from a Corn Field

To Keep Chinch Bugs from q Corn Field.
A great many remedies and p~reventives
against chinch bugs have been suggested
and published from time to time, the
most of them emanating from good au-
thorities, but very generally so difficult
and impracticable in their application as
to be of little general use. In their mi
grafton from one field to another, at the
time they first appear on the side of a
field of corn and before they have entered
it, cut five or six rows of the corn and
clear the ground, then pillow a strip OF
land eight or ten feet wide, leaving a deep
furrow in the center of the strip, with
the perpendicular side of the furrow to-
ward the field to be protected. Into this
the bugs will fall, where straw may be
thrown on them and burned. Or the fur
row may be covered with some of the
stalks that have been cut while they were
green, by laying them across it, when the
bugs will crawl under them into the fur
row and remain there in the shade long
enough for the stalks to dry and BIZ
