The state republican. (Jefferson City, Mo.) 1871-1896, 1890-01-02
FACTS AND FIGURES.

Some time ago this paper called at
tention to the fact that the demo.
cratic majority in the legislature was
backed by a slim vote and rested
upon a very uncertain foundation.
The democratic majority on joint
ballot is thirty-two. 1t will require
a change in seventeen districts to
give the republicans control of the
legislature.
Thirly.one democratic members oil

the fraternal feelings between the
two sections expand and grow into
brotherly love than can be hoped for
from any other living southerner.
He was an orator of recognized
strength, and, while the most devoted
friend of southern institutions and
its people, he was liberal in his views,
was a great educator of the people of
that great section. His recent visit
to Boston and New England was al
most an ovation. The north loved
Grady, and it mourns his loss more
sincerely perhaps than the south.

The secretary of the treasury has
advertised for sealed bids for the Ok
elusive privilege Of the seal fisheries
of the next twenty years. A certified
check for 500, 900 is required as a
deposit with every bid. The Alaska
company that has enjoyed the mon
opoly for tie past twenty years paid
S290,000 per annum. Here is a
chance for some enterprising young
man who is anxious to 60 west and
grow up with the country.

Is there anything strange about
the republicans expectation of carry
ing the next Legislature, when it only
needed seventeen additional men,
bers to control the last session =:
Hardly, when the fact is considered
that twenty-three Of the democratic
members elected had less than 15C
majority and eleven Of those elected
had no majority at all. Therefore,
it seems TO us an easy matter TO get
seventeen out of the thirty-four, and
if we do, we've got 'em.

The fall elections have taught us
all q lesson. 1t forces the conviction
that party ties are not what they
used to be. The voter of to-day was
an infant when the war closed, and
he is not moved by the same impul-
ses that influenced his father. He
looks at parties through different
spectacles and hence the large ma
j~orities in such states as Iowa are not
to be counted upon hereafter. Every
national election leaves the war four
years further behind, and in this fact
we see Missouri emerging from a
hopeless TO- a bright and glorious
future. Missouri, the garden spot of
America, will proclaim her prin.
cipals in 1892, and possibly in 1890.
The republicans of Missouri are in
the field now, at work organizing for
the next campaign. What are the
democrats doing? Sitting with their
arms folded, "Missouri is all right,

retire it from office for at least foul
years. The "change" called for
with such potential effect, in tn
national election of 1886, is what

call GU pupil to make the answer.

The principal was 80 pleased ut the
result that he mades special mention OF

fact that in no other classroom did

Protection From Clothes
Moths.

Reaumur, more than 150years ago,
made quite extensive researches on
clothes-moths; and, observing that
they never attacked the wool and
hair on living animals, he inferred
that the natural odor of the wool, or
OF the oily matter in it, was distaste.
full to them. He therefore rubbed
various garments with the wool OF
fresh pelts, and also wet other gar.
ments with tho water in which wool
had been washed, and found that
they were never attacked by moths

smoke and the odor of spirits of tur-
pentine, and found that both of these
were destructive to the moths, but it
was necessary to close the rooms
very tightly, and keep the fumes very
dense in them for twenty four hours,
to obtain satisfactory results. MIR.
c. II. Fernald, of the Hatch Expert
ment Station of the Massachusetts
Agricultural College, has always
found that any material subject to
the attacks Of moths may be pre-
served from them ii packed away
with sprigs ofcedar between the folds
The oder of cedar is SO disagreeable

the odor is strong; but this is lost
with age, and then they are no pro-
lection. Unjust be remembered that
the odor of cedar, camphor, ETC.,
only prevents the moth from laying
her eggs ON the fabrics; but ii the
eggs are laid before the garments are
packed away with cedar, etc., the
odor will not prevent the Matching
of the eggs nor the destructive work
of the larvm afterwards. Clothing
may also be protected from moths
by packing it in bags made of either
stout paper or cotton cloth, if made
perfectly tight, but this must be done
before the moth appear OH tho wing
