MR.. cHAsDLER's cool REorrrIos.


MR.. cHAaDLER's cool RECEPTION.
Tacoma Globe: The Globe is pained
to see how severely the democratic or
gan of this city plants its brogans upon
the neck Of the "honored guest OF the
city," Hon. jeff q. Chandler, VINO nus
beoh brought upon n tiresome journey OF
a good many hundred miles TO oihcia,e
at the explosion of the great democra'ic
skyrocket. While the Globe has nothing
politically In common with Mr.. Chahu-
ler 1t has RETAINED from saying un-
pleasant things about that gentleman OF
his party, out OF regard for that whole
souled hospitality which has made Ia
coma famous. II grievcs us deeply that
our democratic contemporary, tho or
gan, not the mugwump, should so forget
its duties as to light into the oity's non
ored guest in such lively fashion. AS
the Globe has heretofore stated, Mr.
Chandler Is a democrat of the Randali
stripe, with no liking whatever for tue
free trade sophistries or tho general
nobler-than.thou personality OF Grover
Cleveland, and with a very strong de-
sire to see Dave Hill nominated In lSO2
All this was well known before Mr..
Chandler came here. The Globe knew
1t, the democratic club knew 1t and the
democratic organ certainly ought to
know II. If the latter wanted free trade
preached, 1t should have protested when
Mr.. Chandler was invited to speak. Now
that he is the citys honored guest and
all citizens without regard to party have
been urged to give him taste of Tacoma
"A
Trained from offering any unpleasant re-
marks, 1t certainly is very shocking that
the democratic organ should be the first
to forget the courtesy due tho city's hon
ored guest and in democratic parlance
jump on his neck. Is it possible that
there can be any cloud upon the fair
horizon of democratic harmony in

ALREADY the democratic organs
throughout the state have taken their
cue from the Seattle PLATFORM aud are
striving to convince the wool-grower
and the miner that they would be better

past lessons these partisan efforts are
half pathetic and half amusing.

PROFESSOR GEORGE w. HoLLIY, of
Ithaca, n. y, recently addressed the
American Association for the Advance
ment of Science in advocacy of novel
method of preventing floods in the
Mississippi river. Said he: AT a place
1856 miles above its mouth the river runs
due east for several miles. A line from
this point to the Gulf of Mexico at its
nearest approach, is eighty five miles
long. Build series of ofimmcnse locks In
the levee on the south of the river and
cut shallow ch annel from the point
named to the gulf. When the river is
high open as many OF the locks as is
necessary and give the water escape
through the short channel. The artificial
channel need not be made wide at first.
az thpwater from the river by careful
management can be made to do its own
excavating after the path is laid out"

world. The growing OF grapes for mar
ket may be Overdone, and has been over
done in New Jersey, New York, and even
California. AS to Florida grapes, especial
ly the Niagara, they can hardly be other
wise than profitable for 4nany years to
come. Many hundred acres are now
planted in vineyards in Florida, and it is
probable that hundreds more will be
planted before next spring. How profit
able they will prove depends on the
knowledge of the business possessed by
the planters, especially as regards wine
making. The great advantage in favor
of this industry is that those who engage
in it do not have to wait more than three
years to see the fruits Of their labor.
Money judiciously invested in this indus
try may be doubled in four years.-Times-

A Living Insect Trap.

Not single creeping, crawling Or hop
ping thing is to be seen in our tomato
hOt-bed of four sashes, except one toad,
which in reality is nothing else than a
wandering (hopping) insect trap, and
gobbles up every hapless small creature
that gets into it. OF course we make a
pet of our living insecticide, and have al
most learned to admire its handsome
color and it's intelligent eye. Sometimes
we give it an especially dainty morsel,
such as large May beetle, or even po-
tato beetle, a centipede, etc. Our guest
takes them all with equal gratitude a7d
toads may be colonized and put to good
use in cucumbers, melon and squash
patches. At any rate we intend to as
sign them the duty and responsibility OF
keeping the vines free trombugs thisyear,
and believe that it will be safer to trust
to their watchfulness than to depend on

Insect Remedies.

To destroy bugs on squash and Gu
cumber vines, dissolve tablespoonful of
saltpetre in paiful of water; put one
pint of this around each hill, shaping the
earth so that it will not spread much,
and the thing is done, says the Southern
Cultivator. Use more saltpetre if you
can afford it; it is good for vegetable,
but death to animal life. The bugs bur-
row in the earth at night and fail to rise
in the morning. 1t is also good to kill
the grub in peach trees-only use twice
as much, say aquart or two to each tree.
There was not yellow or blistered leaf
on twelve or fifteen trees to which it was
applied last season. No danger Of kill
ing any vegetable with it: concentra-
ted solution applied to beans makes them
grow wonderfully.
TAR WATER FOR INSECTS.
Insects seem to have their likes and
dislikes as we'll as human beings and a
substance or odor that is agreeable to
one species may be very offensive and
even destructive to another. We have
tried, says an exchange, various insecti-
cides for the common green cabbage
worm, but found none to work as well as
tar water, and this does not in any way
injure the cabbages, and all traces of the
odor of tar are washed away by the first
shower. To make the tar water put q
quart or two of common coal tar in an
old tin or wooden pail and set it on the
bottom of barrel Or other tight vessel,
then fill up with water. Let it stand in
the air for a day or two, and the water
will become impregnated with the odOr
OF tar and ready for use Apply in the
evening with watering pot having a
fine rose, in order to distribute the liq-
uid over the entire head of the cabbage.
When the water has been used fill up the
barrel again, for two quarts of tar will
Flast to make number of barrels of tar
water strong enough to kill the cabbage
worms AS there are several breeds OF
this cabbage pest you may have to APP
ply the tar water as each appears, but in
dry weather little extra watering of the
plants will prove very beneficial.-COn-

Grapes in Florida.

is q prominent industry and that Cali
forna is noted as wine producing State,
but there are few who know how well
Florida is adapted to both branches of
the industry. The golden orange has SO
dazzled the public that other products OF
the state have been lost sight Of. And in
fact vineyards were hardly thought OF in
Florida till after the freeze of 1886. Then
an interest in hardy fruits was aroused,
and on inquiry it was found that certain
persons in Leon and Alachua counties
had undertaken grape growing on quite
a large scale, notably Professor E Du-
bois, whose Adalusia and San Luis vine
yards, near Tallahassee, have since be-
come famous.
Professor Dubois deserves always to be
remembered as the founder of the grape
growing and wine making industries in
Florida. He came to this country from
southern France with thorough knowl-
edge of grapes and wine. He located in
Leon county with iull confidence in the
fitness of the soil and climate forgrowing
wine grapes. He planted all the best
American and some European varieties,
and from year to year rejected those
which proved most unsatisfactory, till
now he has an extensive vineyard in full
bearing and composed only of varieties
that have proven satisfactory after
thorough trial
Finding that the growing of early
grapes for market can be made very prof
liable in Florida, Professor Dubois has
studied table grapes as we'll as wine
grapes, and he finds the growing of both
very profitable In his valuable pam
phlet on "Grape Growing and Wine
Making in Florida" he quotes from a
California work on the same subject
statement Of the cost OF bringing an acre
of vineyard into bearing, showing that
in the fourth year the crop ought to pay
for all expenses, and after that yield a
net annual profit of 1875. He then makes
q similar statement based on his own
average experience, showing that one
acre of vineyard in Leon county, Florida,
will pay for itself in three years and after
that yield profit of $345 per annum.
This is an astonishing difference in
favor of Florida, and the fact only needs
to be known to be appreciated by all
who wish to find the best location for
grape growing. Messrs. Young 4 Bailey
of Orlando, who introduced the Niagara
grape into Orange County, and others
who have followed in their footsteps, are
reported to have found the sale Of this
white table grape extremely profitable.
1t is being planted extensively in south:
ern Florida Grapes can be placed on
the market a month earlier than those Of
California or any other state, and that is
an immense advantage.
Another cause of the greater profitable
ness of Florida grapes is the superior
quality of the wine made from them.
Probably would not be fair to compare
the California and Florida wines by aver
age samples because the California wine
makers have greatly the advantage IN
point of experience. 1t is fair, though, to
comDare the average of California wines
with Professor Dubois Florida wines.
According to the two statements referred
to above, the average selling value OF the
