The New Immigration Law.

Secretary Foster says he will en-
force the new law for the restriction
of Immigration fit is in his power. =
But is it in his power?
a very cursory examination OF
the law shows that there are some
things in it that can't be enforced.
For instance, itprovides that it shall
be unlawful "to assist or encourage
immigration of foreigners through
advertisements printed and publish
cd in any foreign country" and
that "anyj alien coming to this coum-
try in consequence of such an ad-
vertisement shall lie treated as u
violator of the law" Now how can
Secretary Foster prevent the publ
cation of advertisements in foreign
countries, how can he tell whether
Il man who comes here comes be.
cause he has read an advertisement
or some other reason?
Inc Secretary may compel immi-
grants to sneak around through
Canada, as the Chinese do through
British Columbia, but that is all he
can do. Rigid and thorough in
spection is possible in New York
harbor, but not along the thousand
miles of Canadian border.

The Republicans are convinced
that the new sugar law, contained
in the Mckinley bill, will reduce
the price of that article. But they
ran not see that reduction of the
tariff, or free trade out and out, in
all sorts of goods would result in
like benefit to consumers. They
perceive. that tariff is tax when
it is on sugar only.
This is the kind of taffy with
which they are trying to feed the
people. The vote of the next Presi-
dental election will show whether
a majority OF the voters are SO gull
Iible as to believe that the tariff is
not-a tax except on sugar.

| Nos. l and ? appear to be the same grass
| that we have often referred TO in these
| columns as Texas sward grass. 1t is much
| like the regular Bermuda grass (Cynodon
| dactylon), though it has goodly number
of strongly marked variations clearly dis
| tinguishing it from that species. The peo-
pie of this part of the state, where it grows
abundartly, all call it Bermuda grass They
say IL got Its start in this region from seed
sown. Our attention was first called to it
by bulletin of the Texas experiment sta
ton which, while mentioning its general
to an entirely different genus.
If it is proper to call all grasses belonging
to the genus Cynodon by the common name
of Bermuda grass, we are about arriving at
the opinion that this sward grass is really
Bermuda grass, but not Cynodon dactylon.
No standard work on botany gives US more
than one species of Cynodon, but our study
of the two grasses under consideration
has led US to strongly suspect that there
are two species much alike in general APP
pearance but widely different in many
special particulars, and that sward grass is
one Of them.
Cynodon dactylon is the bermuda grass
of the Eastern gulf states, but this so-called
sward grass of Texas is not Cynodon dac-
tylon. undoubtedly, nor have we ever met
with it in any state east of Texas. Later in
the season we shall publish the result of
our studies with careful comparison of
the two grasses. While not fully prepared
to answer your questions with reference to
the value of your Nos. / and as a stock
grass, we are inclined to think it an excel
lent grass for spring and early summer
pasture. If it is really a Cynodon it is prob
ably entirely on par with the regular Ber
muda grass, which, as you doubtless know,
is highly nutritious grass.

worth looking after.
One statement more with reference 70
the mustang grape and we are done for the
present. While il will grow on almost any
character of Texas soils it most delights in
the alIuvial soils along our rivers and
creeks. foundations from overfowing
streams do not hurt it in the least. Now,
when we have found a good variety of the
species we shall have it within our power
to turn into profitable vineyards all our
lands subject to occasional overfiows, and
hence unsafe for any other character of
crop, save the pecan. With our pecan and
good mustang grape those lands now held
at low value because of highwater danger

Dallas county, Tex.
Yes. they are locusts, sure enough: bu
they are the dreaded Rocky Mountain lo-
| Gust or grasshopper, so called, Just about -
| much as mud-turtle of the Trinity is a
green sea turtle of the Gulf of Alexiro.
They are what entomologiSts call the pei
legged locust, for common, aud the Acry-
dunn femur rubrum for science. The
Rocky Mountain locust is their Caloptenus
spretus.
The red-legged locust don swoor down
on anybody for the reason that il can't get
up anywhere 10 enable it to swOop down.
Doubtless you raised on your own farm the
stock of it now interesting you, and it is
not at all probably that for this season you
will see any more of it than you are now
seeing But the Rocky Mountain locust is
sweeper in the fullest sense of the word.
1t swoops down in myriads from the Rocky
Mountains, so supposed, whenever it con
cludes to come East on a little summer pic
mic of its own, and if the locality upon
which it swoops doesn't pan out exactly to
its liking, it, as one man, goes far up into
the air and then sweeps down somewhere
else In word. while the red-legged To-
Gust no little resembles the Rocky Mountain
locust in a general way, it is not built on
the plan of an eagle so far as relates To
wings. 1t cant fy much. A very short
distance on the wing, and down to the
ground it must come for rest and new
start. It's wings are short being very lit
tie longer than its body. On the other
hand the Rocky Mountain locust has wings
more than one-third longer than its body,
and with these it can lift itself high in air
and fly all day if it desires to do so.
The red-legged locust is reddish or ma
hogany colored grasshopper-so is the
Rocky Mountain locust. They are about
the same size, and to the inexperienced
would look about as much alike as two peas
but for this variation in the length of wings.
The red-legged locust Invariably mas short
wings-the Rocky Mountain locust invaria-
bly, has long wings.
