A NEW WHEAT PEST.

Topeka, Kas., April 27.-Secretary
of Agriculture Mohler has received a
letter from a banker in Russell county,
saying that the wheat in that county
was turning yellow and appeared to be
dying. 1t was stated that a small
greenish insect had been found in the
wheat and was undoubtedly the cause
of the blight, Senator Hays this morn
ing stated, on the authority OF the sher-
if of Rice county, that some of the
wheat in that county was turning yell
low. Secretary Mohler has sent the
letter to Chancellor Snow, of the state
university, asking him that an lnvesti-
CATION be made as soon as possible.

THE SPIDER AND THE FLY.

The Democratic Party Weaves "A Web of
Subterfuges to Catch the Alliance Vote.
The New Albany Miss. Gazette sees
Its way clear to the absorption of the
alliance by the democratic party, if
only the alliance will abate the St.
Louis and Ocala demands and ept
the democratic platform. The Gazette
says:
alliance has adopted the list of demands
upon the government, as adopted by the
National Alliance at Ocala, Fla. The cues
tion now arist s, does this voice the senti-
ments of the alliance of the state of Missis.
sippi? We answer that it does in part and
in part it does not. Take out the sub treas
ury scheme and all have agreed. The all-
ance has agreed among themselves and with
the democratic party.
The Gazette might find difficulty in
proving its conclusion, that the sub
treasury plan alone bars an agreement.
says the National Economist There is
not one of the seven demands of the al
lance upon which the democratic party
has defined policy, or to carry out
which its leaders can be trusted. The
democracy is pledged to the national
banks; opposed to sub treasures and
loans to the people direct, opposed to
increasing to $50 per capita; opposed to
restricting speculation in products: di-
vided on silver coinage; frowns on the
demands for prohibition of alien owner
ship of land; is hopelessly divided in its
construction of tariff reform, and ig-
nores the graduated income tax demand:
denounces the demand for railroad req
ulation as socialistic, impracticable and
paternal, and has constantly disregard
ed the demand for election of senators
by direct vote. Can the Gazette assure
the people that the democratic party
will adopt the demands of the alliance?
Certainly it cannot. Can that paper
declare, admitting that the party adopt
the demands as its platform, that the
result would not be of kind with the
constantly repeated declarations for
silver coinage, ignored when the party
is in position to make them laws?
Now, as the Gazette seems to favor all
the demands save one. and as the demo-
cratic leaders will see to it that the al
lance is not permitted to present the
basis for combination, would the
Gazette not find it more reasonable and
practicable to support the alliance de-
mands? The sub-treasury system now
existing is of democratic origin, and
were those grand old southern demo-
erats. jefferson. Jackson and Calhoun,
living to-day, they would lead the al
lance financial reform movement.
Meantime the true brethren in Missis-
sippi are supporting the demands with
as much persistency as though the
democratic party were at their backs.

The Cresset will please take notice
that we never "crawhshed" one word
in regard to the sugar tariff or any 9TH

the alliance fire, and if he can make
anybody believe that he is believer of
what he breaches, he is happy. 1t is
too late for him to expect to make any
converts, but he sticks to his old doc
trine because Harrison does. If pro-
lection makes things cheaper, how is it
that removal of protection makes sugar
cheaper? Please gnaw that file, and
