Every observant person in towns
lighted by electricity has noticed the
great number of dead insects on the
ground below the lamps during the
warm season. The strong light at
tracts these winged things from long
distances. They fly towards it and
kill themselves by repeated dashes
against the glass globe that encases
1t. 1t is said by Durham On. c.
observers that since that city has had
electric illumination the ravages Of
the tobacco worm in the surround
ing fields have been greatly reduc-
ed. In other cities near the sea
coast entomologists have found be-
meath the electric lights winged
bugs that had never been seen in
their vicinities before, but whose
native habitat was in distant marsh
or woodlands. All these facts
would seem to indicate that the IN
PRODUCTION OF public electric illumi-
nation will serve an unexpected but
most useful purpose. It may be
that powerful electric light in the
center of one of the sea islands on
which the celebrated long staple
cotton grows would save all the
plantations surrounding it from the
destruction frequently wrought by
the cotton army worm. Who
knows?

Intolerant and abusive methods
will not win in politics in this en-
lightenedAge, says the Cuthbert APP
peal. Hence in discussing matters
of such grave public concern, there
should always be exhibited broad
conservatism Of expression and an
utter absence of anything that
savors of intolerance. Abuse is not
argument, and impugning the mo-
tives of others is very sorry bust
ness for anybody to be engaged in.
A good cause need not to be defend
ed by such low and disreputable
methods. 1t will stand, if at all,
upon its own merits, and cannot be
aided by the rash assertions of over
Jealous and unreasonable friends.
1t is always just and proper to ac-
cord honesty of purpose and the
right of opinion to those who differ
from us. A man is simply tyrant
and fool who would claim for him
self infallibility of judgment, and
denounce those who oppose him as
dishonest and corrupt.

The New York Herald's staff cor
respondent who recently made a
tour of Iowa came back firmly con-
WINGED that the democrats will hold
their control of that state. This
opinion is corroboratod by Mr.. J. J.
Richardson, member of the national
democratic committee for Iowa. He
said to a newspaper reporter recent
ly: ''Ihere is little fear of Iowa
returning to the republican fold,
now that her farmers have got their
eyes opened. The hard struggle
was to make them see that high
monopolistic protection was running
them. The fetch held them en-
thralled for many years, but they
have now emancipated themselves
and overturned and broken the idol.
The farmers of Iowa are for tariff
reform, and they will vote against
republicanism hencetorth."

From the Hartford Times. ~

From the Hartford Times. ala
An impressive incident occurred
years ago in Hartford. The man
who related it was SO profoundly
impressed with the reality of q
super-mortal meeting and recogni-
ton that he never forgot it. He is
still living in western state. On
this occasion he was a watcher at
the bedside of a dying man-a prin-
ter. He is very practical, hard
headed man, and one Of the last to
be given to fancies. For half an
hour, he said the dying man had
been sinking. The breathing grow
ing more labored, became slower
and fainter. The watcher thought
the man was dead, when suddenly
his eyes opened with a glad look
of wonder and joyful recognition.
He threw up his arms as in an en-
brace, and his whole face was illu-
minated as he rapturously exclaim-
ed: "Why, motheg.'' The same
instant he fell dead. Nothing will
ever convince me-" said the watcher
relating the occurrence years after
ward, shat that man didn't actu-
ally see his mother right then and
there"

Re Punished

Walter Carter, the colored man who
was so brutally dubbed by Officer Nc.
Intosh on September 70 appeared in
the Police Court this afternoon as com
planning witness against Officer William
Riley, whom he charged with an
assault
Carter testified that Riley held him
down over an iron fence on L street
while n,cIntosh did the clubbing. lie
also said that 10 front Of the station
house Riley told Officer Mcintosh to
club him some more as he had not
given him enough.
Thomas Drayer, who was with Carter
on the night that the assault was al.
legged TO have been committed, said he
did not see the assault but heard Carter
say across the street, Don't choke me
that way ] will report your conduct
10 the Lieutenant
Eight OF ten Witnesses, nearly all
Sixth Precinct officers, testified In be-
half of the defendent Officer Bren-
nan, Riley's partner on the Fourth
street beat testified that Riley was with
him all that evening, and that E street
was not on tndL Dedls Uul
a half mile away. AT six min.
utes before 10 O'Clock they took
Belt Line car No. 10 and went to the
station. house. At the corner Of +
street and New Jersey avenue they
heard Mcintosh strike some one, aud
Riley ran up TO him to see what was the
matter, and picked up some books that
Carter had and carried the books into
the station.
A number Of other officers testified
that IL could not have been possible for
Riley TO have been on T. street where
the assault was first committed.
Riley testified that he went 20 Carter
in front Of the station, but did not
strike him.
Judge Miller said that he was satisfied
that there was some officer with Mcln-
iosh, and that It was peculiar no one
knew who he was.
IF could find out, said the Judge,
81 think the man would get the benefit
Of eleven months and twenty nine days
In jail. Any man with brass buttons
and a Metropolitan uniform who will
so brutally beat a man with a billy In
that manner ought 10 bo dealt with
severely, and II IS pity that Mcintosh
was not arrested before he got out Of
towu."
Mr. Frank Cluss showed that Carter
had been in court half dozen times
or more charged with assault on his
wife and daughter, larceny aud other
Cffenses. but Judge Miller said that this
did not make any difference. for he
was entitled to the protection Of the law
Just the same
officer Kemmer volunteered the In
formation that It was a special officer
who was with Mcintosh. Judge Miller
dismissed Riley.

the bud yesterday by the arrest Of
VIM. johnson, Frank Edmunds, VIM.
j. Wade and Mrs. Mary Rayson.
a short time ago the manager Of the
Western Union Company in this city
received advice to look out for a gang
Of clever "wire.tappers, " as It was un-
derstood that they had located either in
Baltimore or Washington. An addi
tional pauolman was employed and In.
struCCd TO watch the lines carefully
for any loop that might be made.
The patrolman, Mr.. Newman, dis.
covered on Wednesday afternoon that
a wire had been attached 20 the one
used for the transfer of messages 10 the
pOolrooms at Seventh street and the
Boundary. This wire was run into q
second story room at llll Seventh
street northwest. Mr. Newman imme.
dlajely reported his discovery az the
Western Union office, and Yesterday
afternoon Detective Han and Officers
Bassford, Tramwell aud Lydd raided
the place and arrested the quartette.
In the apartment occupied by the wire.
tappers five telegraph instruments and
over fifty battery Jars were found. The
plan of the gang was to intercept mes
sages passing over the wires and then
send messengers 10 the pool-room 10
place money on the winning horses.
The same scheme has been successfully
worked before and the bookmakers de
frauded out Of considerable money.
Yesterday morning the poOl,rOOm
men were satisfied that the wires were
being tampered with, and reported the
fact TO the telegraph Office Detective
Raii, who worked the case up, ascer-
talned that johnson was an expert
electrician, and that he was 10 receive
Sl2j and expenses for looping the liue
and fitting up the apparatus 10 the
office. His work had hardly been com.
pleted, otherwise the boundary pool
sellers might have lost some Of the
money that they have accumulated
within the last year OF two.
This morning at 1890 o'clock the four
wire tappers, who had been allowed to
60 on their own TecOgnizance, appeared
at Police Headquarters and had con
sultaiion with their attorney, G. Maurice
Smith.

covering the 0tIense committed, they
were charged with being idle and sus.
picious characters. Later they appeared
before Judge Miller and pleaded guilty,
and their personal bond was taken with
the understanding that they leave the
city within the next twenty four hours.
The Judge gave them to understand
that a violation of the bond meant
ninety days In the WoTkhOuse, and they
all agreed 10 leave the city at once.
An order was also issued returning
10 them the telegraph instruments and
other property recovered by the officers
when the arrest was made yesterday
afternoon.
