Col. Swope and Col. Goodloe killed
each other down in Kentucky the 9TH
er day. These men were Union sold
iers during the rebellion, were members
Of the republican party, and both fell
victims to a false sense OF homer that has
become a part OF the moral outfit of the
high-toned gentlemen of Kentucky and
IN fact Of the South generally. The
tragedy is a fitting outcome OF kind OF
civilization that encourages caste IN So
ciety, and sets at defiance laws that do
away with distinctions that society seeks
to perpetuate.

The lawyers in Montana think he was
guilty Of little sharp practice in adj
mitting Montana before the settlement
of some contested election questions
that were before the democratic terri
torial courts and by the act transferring
these questions to the republican state
courts. The Brooklyn Eagle says he
FASTENED to admit Montana first, as if
to get these questions out OF the terri
torial courts before their settlement,
when the fact is. the Dakotas were de-
clared States first. A mans enemies

Any democrat who can find much
satisfaction in the recent elections ought
to be able to draw sunshine out Of GU
cumbers. And yet they do 1t. The
Argus throws out its roosters to the
breeze, and parades majorities and
gains with as much satisfaction as tho
a great crisis had passed and the coun-
try had barely escaped shipwreck. So
far as the democratic party is concern
ed no one need fear regarding its health.
1t will live until the millennium comes,
and the millennium will not come so long
as the Argus can stave il off. We are
not pleased with the returns; but our
disappoin. does not begin TO meas
me democratic joy. Small things give
satisfaction to those accustomed to
small favors. We do not look upon
the returns as indicative Of any mark
ed change in the political sentiment of
the country. Local issues produced a
falling off in the republican
vote as it has done on other occasions,
but on national questions we may look
for the old time majorities.

is now theirs may be ours. 1t is real
ly fight for bread and butter for our
selves and our children, not against the
forces of nature but against an inyad-
ing host that grows by what it feeds
upon, and in the struggle for existence
with humanity can discount the latter,
taken unarmed, at every turn. What
arms shall we use in the encounter with
this foe? The weapons of our warfare
are the same as against the potato bug.
But this new pest goes everywhere and
into everything, and it becomes an ex-
ceedingly difficult matter to apply the
remedy. Some inventive genius must
contrive a way to scatter paris green
among the clouds and be able to bring
on a shower whenever and wherever
he viii. Force pumps have already
been brought into use, but what are
these as against shade trees and orch
ards and forests? ? They count for moth
ing. II has been suggested that the
people turn out in force and destroy
the larvae in a hand-to-hand fight. But
this is easier said than done. Enough
will escape each season to furnish seed
for the season to follow. A man might
as well undertake to kill all the bed
bugs in a tenement house as to clean a
fruit or shade tree of all insect eggs.
Well, what is TO be done? We must a.
wait developments. Forewarned ought
to be forearmed. 1t may be the issue
in this ease, provided only we can dis
cover the arms we need. The discuss
ion Of remedies is now going on and it
is earnestly to be hoped that some dis
coveries will be made while the enemy
is confined to comparatively narrow
area. Let us rally to the support of
Milford. If we can do no more we can
lend them our sympathy and possibly
aid in devising some plan for the exter-
Of this pest. There is one
more insect we should like to see. We
do not know that it has yet been evolv-
ed. That is an insect chat will eat up
small dogs, stray cows, hoodlums, and
other small vermin. 1t is one of those
curious contrivances of nature that ev-
cry new form of life comes to assault
the means Of life provided for man. 1t
appears as though man was
an interloper, entitled to nothing except
what may be left when the rest have
got through. But these insects are no
worse than the majority of men who
spend their lives planning to live upon
what the minority has produced.

All this talk about high license re-
ducing liquor drinking in the state is
nonsense. A man who pays a high IL
cense will find it necessary to sell as
much liquor as he can to make the bus
mess pay. Say what one will, legalize
the sale of liquor, open saloons on the
streets of our cities. and fill them with
attractions and hundreds of young men
will be drawn into drinking habits who
would have escaped the vice under 9TH
er circumstances. No letting down of
the bars if we wish to keep the good
name of the state. We do not believe
the high license racket will work here
with any sort of vigor. 1t is too thin.
We recommend those papers that are

something to help the morals of COM

Every few days we notice items from
some town in which complaint is made
of the scarcity of teachers and of the
necessity of closing many of the schools.
The requirements of the new law are
too severe. The next Legislature will
find it necessary to make some changes
in it in order to fit it to the needs of
the people. So radical change as it
involves could not be made without a
little friction.

AT the recent Catholic centennial at
Baltimore the announcement was made
that the ban of the church had been
removed from all secret societies except
the Masons. So far as this matter is
concerned but little attention seems to
have been paid in this country to the
requirements of the Catholic church.
1t looks as though this action Of the
church was only a yielding TO the inev-
liable. 1t is not an easy matter for the
clergy to regulate the actions Of the la
ity under republican institutions. So
far as Masonry is concerned it would
be just as well to remove the ban from
it. Some think this will be done, 9th

a NEW PEST.

At recent agricultural meeting in
the vicinity Of Boston there came up
for discussion the appearance of new
pest. This pest is worm about the
size Of a mans little finger so that it
cannot escape observation. 1t comes
from the larva of a species of butterfly
into which the worm developes. The
process is some like that by which the
earth is watered. The insect is sup
posed to have been introduced by a gem
tleman from Europe who came to Mil
ford five or six years ago and started
the culture Of silk worms. In some
mysterious way this insect formed
part Of his outfit. He discovered the
presence Of the stranger soon after his
arrival and undertook to limit his cir
culation. He failed, however. Some of
the butterflies escaped through rents in
the netting. For two or three years
little or nothing was thought of the
matter. Then the increase led some
of the farmers to look up its pedigree.
1t was found to belong to some of the
old families Of Europe and had found
its way to this country along with much
else that comes from the old world to
curse us. In Europe it had never been
very damaging to crops because of a
parasite that kept the numbers down.
Unfortunately it came to this country
without the parasite, and like most ev-
else it fourishes unchecked ON
our soil. We may be saved great ca
lamity if some one will bring over the
parasite and start it upon its true mis-
sion. This pest has spread out quite
a distance from its point of departure,
Each year shows that it occupies Wild
er area than the previous year, and i'll
the people are sufficiently apathetie it
will in a few years spread itself over
the entire country. This pest has some
features that remind one of the potato |
bug. 1t increases and multiplies with
rapidity. 1t can easily out
strip Chicago or any new Dakota town
on the census rolls. But it has a more
voracious appetite than the gentleman
from Colorado. The latter confines his
mostly to potato tops, now
md then under the stress of hunger
working his way down into the tubers.
The new immigrant does not find but
little that is foreign to his appetite. He
