THURSDAY, MAY 2, 1880.

A New Hampshire paper makes the
assertion that one third OF the product
II the farmers labor is destroyed by
insect pests, and 1t is very probable
that there ID more truth than fiction in
the statement as the number aud va
rieties of insects seem to increase
every year. This paper suggests that
IL fires are lighted at night, thousands
upon thousands OF these pests could be
destroyed by tier well known ten
dency TO fly into flame. This p an
might prove successful in destroying
some OF them, but the most eilectual
means is to encourage the propagation
OF insectIvorous birds and prevent their
destruction. Some years ago this
farmers of certain section in France
conceived the idea that their iruit
crops were injured by the birds, and
they forthwith set 10 work 10 txtermi-
nate them. Guns, traps, and other
appliances were used, and their eiloIts
were crowned with success, but it was
not many years before they found that
their crops were destroyed by insects.
and farming became SO Improbable
that many were obliged TO quit it.
Birds are the farmers best friends, and
unless there is a cessation in the war
fare which is waged against them our
farmers may have similar experience
to those in France.

1t Is evident from the tone OF the
leading papers OF the South that the
race problem is not yet settled, and it
is scarcely likely it will be during the
days of the present generation. When
the negro Was q slave he was treated
more as an equal by the Southern
people than he now is. Then he WAS
mere chattle, to be bought or sold,
punished or rewarded at the will OF
his master, who in the majority oi
instances seemed to thin9 that he
owned him, soul and body. Now he
Is no longer slave, but stands on the
same footing in the eyes of the law US
his former master. And right here is
that which causes the trouble, as the
ex-slavehOldeIs cannot, it seems,
realize this fact, and therefore are
unwilling to accord 10 their former
slaves the rights Of citizenship with
which they have been invested by the
Constitution OF the United States. Ii
will no doubt take years to overcome
this prejudice, but the day will surely
come when the rights OF the colored
man will be as July recognized in the
South as they now are in the North.

The train on which Presidcn, Harri-
son passed through this city last even
ing, on his return to Washington, is O
triumph of modern railroadng. Tho
nine Pullman and private coaches com :
posing it, are indeed palaces on wheels,
and fitted with every convenience that
skill or ingenuity can suggest. There
is not crowned monarch on the face
of the earth who travels on such q
train, and yet on ordinary occasions
nil of these cars, with the exception OF
the private couches, are open for all TO
to travel in who can and will pay
their fare. This magnificent train was
run from Jersey City to Washington
at rate OF forty miles all hour or a

event occurred, the Centennial Of
which has just been celebrated, such
an achievement would have beer
pronounced impossible, but in this age
nothing scemssurprising, much less
impossible.

The present year will be memorable
for its storms, heavy rainfalls and ap-
palling disasters by floods and electri-
cal disturbances. The cause of this is.
and probably will remain, a mystery,
but there are those who attribute these
storms to the multiplicity of electric
wires. They claim that these wires
draw the storm to the earth, on the
same principle that Benjamin Franklin
drew the lightning from the clouds with
his kite and silken string. 1t is diff
cult to say whether or not this theory
is correct, but if it is, it is another ar
gument in favor of putting all these
wires underground, where it is probab-
able they may not be dangerous. Still,
if they cause storms and electrical dis
turbances above ground, it is possible
that they might cause earthquakes if
they were buried, so of the two evils it
is hard to say which to choose.

Honors to Edison.

Queen Victoria has complimented
Thomas A Edison in such a way as we
believe no American was ever compli.
mented before. She has sent him her
photograph, by a special messenger,
and also extended to him a warm
hearted message cOngratulating him
upon his many wonderful inventions.
France has also honored hia in an ex-
traordinary manner, but in each case
the honors are richly deserved. During
the many hours and days he has spent
IN his laboratory he has been perfect.
ing inventions that are of the greatest
use to his fellow man in every part of
the civilized world. His patience and
energy have accomplished wonderful
things for mankind, and if his life is
spared to the three score and ten allotted
to man it is difficult to predict what he
may discover or invent. Therefore
all the honors bestowd upon him are
well earned and we'll deserved, as he
is one of the greatest men the world
has ever produced.

Money in the Eiffel Tower.

The business of the Eifel tower is
immense. NJ. Eiflel calculated that
when everything was in working
order the gate money would be $4,000
day. Since the lifts have been in
operation he is thought to have aver
aged more than this. 1t costs a franc
to enter the tower, two francs to get
up in the lift to the second floor. and
four francs to the top. On any one of
the ordinary full-prce days, more
than 10000 people have paid admission
and, with the increased prices for those
using the elevator, the entire receipts
exceed $4,000. The original cost of
the Eiffel tower, all included, was a
little less than 100000. The pro,
prietor has to keep it in repair and
hand over One-fOurth of his gate money
to the exhibition. 1t is estimated that
1t will be half paid for when the exhi-
bitiOn closes, and then it will remain
certainly three years more, and per-
haps ten.

New York Under Fire.

New York City has certainly sue
ceeded in calling attention to herself.
says the venOmOus Springfield RepuJ-
I'ca" by putting in a belated claim to
the Worlds Exposition in 1892. Chi
cago is especially offended at the me-
tropolis. She has her own ambitions
in this line, it is true, but she is out of
all conceit with New York for even
claiming the honor of the Worlds
Fair. The Chicago Tribune explains
the situation in few simple words:
Chicago is getting ready to expand
its lungs and say so loudly that it will
be heard from ocean to ocean. that
this city wants and will have the
Worlds Fair of 1892. Chicago claims
1t as a matter of right, not as a favor"
In reference to New York, this
organ of the West says:
I'm American cities like New York
have no right to claim an American
celebration. Congress will set aside
the pretentions of that city when it
appears before a committee with n
wooden model of a memorial rch, a
sketch of a statue of ChristODher
columbus, an appeal to the country
Tor funds for the Grant monument. and
a subscription list showing that a guar
anty fund of $4,000 has been raised
for the Worlds Fair"
IL is, in fine, as the Tribune puts it.
the West versus the thin fringe of
people on the Atlantic board" The
Chicago Times sees many disadvan-
tages in New York as an Exposition
site. Visitors would find themselves
surrounded by European customs.
and constantly confronted by Europe
an ideas There would be nothing
new for them in New York, nothing
Western, nothing republican, nothing
democratic" And, moreover, the
Nation at large would be humiliated
by the means adopted to raise an ex-
hlbition fund-the lotteries, ice cream
festivals, bazars, subscriptions by hired
men and servant girls, and so on. In
word, New York would undertake
"as usual to panhandle the Nation"
Cincinnati, Philadelphia and Boston
papers join in the fusilade. 1t is quite
clear, however, that all these attacks
are prompted by an unworthy feeling
of Jealousy. New York cursed as it is
with its saloon government, is yet the
foremost city of the Continent. 1t is
centre of intelligence, wealth and en-
terprise-and We predict that these
will combine to make the Exposition
of 1892, in Van Cortlandt Park, the
greatest Exposition which the world
has yet produced Yoakers Statesman.

Thanks for Our Weather.

Bad as our weather has been, there
is abundant reason to be thankful.
Thankful, for instance, that our
weather is not like that endured in
Souther Russia, where, for the first
ten days of July, the thermometer
never registered less than 144 degrees
III the sun at noon, and on more than
one occasion rose to the almost intol-
cradle pitch of 13O degrees in the
shade Day after day the record was
the same. Never shower or even a
passing cloud. The air absolutely still
without even a morning or evening
breeze. The nights differ from the
days only in being dark instead of
light just as sultry, just as oppres-
sive. Surely, General Humidity's
most vicious onslaught has not given
us such suffering as that.
