The Fly Plague.


DUBUQUE, Ia, July 19-Thls city lie just
recovering from an invasion by Mormon
flies, such as 1t has never before known.
Wednesday night the pests came up from
the river in great swarms and gathered
about the gas and electric lights so that the
people were compelled to abandon the
streets. The morning newspapers aud tele.
graph Offices were compelled to close their
windows and doors to escape the torture.
These pests spring from the sand beds along
thu river, and are sometimes called sand
flies. They are abont an inch long with
broad wings, and spring into existence In q
few hours. After flying about the lights
for one night, they cease to exist. Along
the levee the buildings were covered 30
thick with these pests that nothing could be
seen but writhing mass insect life. In
many places along the streets they were
three inches In depth where they had fallen
dead upon the pavement. The stencil from
their bodies was unbearable and the ealth
authorities had several wagons employed
in removing the Offensive masa.

THE ANNOUNCEMENT that the national
republican committee has espoused the
cause of General Malone puts an efectuai
ouietus upon Prof Langston's assertions
concerning his possible candidacy for the

OF necessity, the national republican admin.

THERE ARE too few repudlationists and hieh
tariff men among the democrats of Virginia
to hurt the democratic party OF the State by
refusing to support 8 platform declaring Tor
a settlement of the State debt upon terms
acceptable to the creditors, and for the dem
ooratic doctrine of raising revenue In pro-
portion to the means of the taxpayers, and
not, as now, almost entirely by taxing the
poor. But If there were enough OF them to
hurt the party by refusing TO support such
platform, self interest, If nothing else, would
prevent them from doing 80. for 1t is bad
enough to have negroes in federal offices In
Virginia, and to have them hold the State
Offices also would be almost unbearabe,
for with nesro dominancy every material
interest in the State would be ruined. Let
the Virginia democratic convention. there
fore be democratic convention and let 1t
declare for the good old true democratic and
constitutional doctrine of tariff only for
revenue, and against the passage OF any laws
fer the impairment of pecunisry obligations.
