etc., is the immature stage Of the May
beetle, or sJune Bug" noticed usually
in great numbers in early summer.
Its habits are quite different from those
of the Tumble Bug" this latter spe-
cies depositing its eggs in the balls Of
dung whichit is seen rolling along in
roads, etc, and the young feed upon the
decaying matter thus provided for them.
They are therefore rather beneficial than
otherwise. The May beetle, on the con-
-trary, deposits its eggs in the ground,
particularly in sod, and the larvae feed
upon the roots of such plants as occur in
their vicinity. They are therefore often
extremely destructive to grass, straw
berries, corn, potatoes, as we'll as to vari-
Gus garden vegetables.
The excellent illustrations show the
adult beetles, side and back view, the
larve in the act OF feeding, and the
pupa in its oval cell awaiting its trans
formation to the beetle stage. Aside
from the injuries to the roots Of plants
there Is often much damage caused by
this insect to forest and shade trees,
since the beetles eengregate on them
in the night time and cut off the leaves,
sometimes seriously stripping them.

But this method, while applicable to
very valuable lawns, would be too ex-
pensive to apply in meadows or pastures,
and probably the best recommendation
that can be made for land seriously in
tested with them is to summer fallow.
and then the next season plant some
crop not attacked by the grubs. Wheat
and oats are SO nearly allied to grass
that they would probably be affected
seriously. Corn, if planted quite late,
after the land had been plowed early
the preceding fall, should be reasonably
free from injury. Hogs will root the
grubs out, and moles probably assist in
their destruction. There is parasitic
fungus which grows upon the larvae,
killing them before they mature, and
this is sometimes abundant enough to
assist materially in reducing their num-
hers

WHAT MIGHT BE EXPECTED,

The public had two more object lessons
last week upon the beatitudes of the dele
gate system in politics. If the semi-comic
bar-the-door proceedings in the Stone-shiras
Congressional contest, and the subsequent
protests, were not enough, the recital by
both Messrs. Rutan and Neeb OF what
they know Of delegate operations should an
swer every purpose. So far as the Congress
sional result in the Twenty-third district goes
there is, however, no room for tears, since
the friends and supporters Of Mr.. Shiras had
it in their power to insist upon nomination
BY popular vote, if they so desired. The
immense mass meeting at Carnegie Hall de-
manded unanimously direct popular vote.
But the demand was presented to the County
Committee with gingerly timidity and was
opposed by the politicians with vigor, and
of course it went by the board. Nothing
happened afterward in the way Of crimina-
tions and recriminations, dissatisfaction or
attempted bolts, or even incipient riot,
more than is usually incident to the dele
gate convention wherever there is any Sc
rious contest. Though the public sentiment
is ten to one against it, the delegate system
is still with us.

PlTTsRURG, SUNDAY. SEPT. IA, 1890
HARD.wORKING CANDIDATE.

Candidate Delamater has worked with
unremitting courage and persistence through
the week in a frosty political atmosphere.
There is every evidence that no stone will
be left unturned for his election, and it
would be idle to deny that the Senator is
skilful and to degree effective in per-
Sonal canvass.
But conceding these points, the question
arises why it should be necessary for the
Republican candidate TO work so hard in a
State whose majority runs close up to l00,-
900, and at a time when national issues
would ordinarily inspire it to vote more
strongly Republican than ever? What ex-
traordinary causes might be likely to induce
such a considerable change as would throw
the State to the Democrats?
Should the opposition, headed by Patti
son. upset the big normal Republican ma
jority there will be general post mortem to
find the ailment. Nobody will seriously
think that Pennsylvania has changed its
mind on the tariff. Nor will antagonism to
Quay be accepted as the sole efficient cause.
The most serious danger which threatens
Delamater is that he is thought to be a cor
pOratioa candidate, and that as such he
represents the Objectionable policy ofthe Re
publican leaders at Harrisburg for long
while past; and that the same public know
Pattison is prepared to enforce the laws
and the Constitution, even in the face of
corporations or any greater power. The rea-
son for Mr.. Delamater's hand-shaking can
vass is doubtless that he feels this notion to
be widespread and hopes to counteract by
meeting the people. But review and e1-
PLANTATION of his public record, such as he
promised to make in his letter of accept
anee-which has not yet appeared-would
be more pertinent than the pleasantest sal
utations,

BOULANGER REVEALED.

The bubble of Boulangism is squashed
fiat. The brav' general on the black horse
is as dead as q political doornail. He does
not even pretend to pose any more as the
Liberator of France or the willing soldier
of the Republic. For the Republic
he no longer processes the smallest
respect. France needs the re-establishment
of monarchy, he says, and no doubt
sincerely, for it is now clear as noon day
that Boulanger was simply tool of the
Comte de Paris all along. Fortunately for
France, Boulanger has no power left. The
foolish Republicans, who made him their
idol a year ago. have disowned him. He
will cease to be anything more than an
unpleasant memory before the year is out.
Thanks for this to the unscrupulous enter

From the Washing gton Post.]
Hon. James Inghram. of Waynesburg, Pa,
President Judge of the District Court, spoke
briefly of matters in the extreme southwestern
part of the Keystone State. LAS a Democrat
he said, II would be glad to see Ex-Governor
Pattison again in the gubernatorial chair,
and think he has fair chance of being elected.
Some of his most ardent supporters say he will
win by heavy majority, but there is a tre-
mendous majority to overcome. Mr.. Delama-
ter is making particularly thorough canvass
from house to house. and neglects no opportu.
mites. There is strong disatfection, however,
in the Republican ranks. and it may result in
turning the State over to the opposition.

NAMES TOTAL VOTE.

While the result in Maine rebounds to the
credit of tie Republicans, there are some
features which give it a different signif-
cance from what was at first intended. The
complete vote brings out that instead of a
full and enthusiastic Endorsement of the Re-
publican policy, there was decided falling
off in Republican votes. This was such that
if the full Democratic vote had been polled
it would have come near being Repub-
lican defeat but the opposite result was
produced by more Democrats than Repub-
licans staying at home.
Compared with the Gubernatorial vote of
1888, about $1,000 Republican votes were
missing; but nearly $4,000 Democratic votes
were also conspicuous by their absence.
Compared with another off year, the
Republican vote fell off 5000 and the
Democratic vote 1000 from the fig
ures of 1886. These indications extend
even to Reeds district, where there was
the most vigorous canvass. While his ma
jority is very large, his total vote is 1, 500
less than he received in 1884: 2, 200 less than
he got in 1888; only 500 more than he got in
the dead year of 1886; while the Democratic
Congressional vote In 1884 was 600 in excess
of Reeds total vote in his present victory.
This shows general lack of interest
among both Democrats and Republicans on
the issues before them at this election. The
apathy is partially explained, SO far as it
applies to the Democrats, by the statement
that the adoption in the Democratic plat
form of the policy of substituting high IL
cense for prohibition, while it was expected
to be popular move, really caused the
Democratic Prohibitionists to stay at home.
Whether any local causes can be assigned
for the Republican loss OF votes is not appa-
rent.
On the final count, therefore, the Maine
election is to be counted as Republican
victory; but it is accompanied by indications
of popular lack of interest which makes cal
culations based on that election very uncer-
tain.
