THE LEAGUE CONVENTION.

There seems very little to criticise in
the spirit and action of the Republican
League of Kansas in its meeting at To-
peka day before yesterday. The resolu-
tions comprising the platform have no
uncertain sound and nobody will be at a
loss in comprehending all therein cc7-
tained. The pretences and misrepresen-
tation of the last house of representatives
received a proper rebuke. Kansas has
suffered from the results of extravagant
enterprise of her people and it may be
also from i'll advised measures adopted
by over sanguine officials, but the out
rageous and malicious representations of
Peffer, Simpson, ct al, and the
men who composed the majority
of the last house, in their
official capacity and by their official
actions and utteranceS, did more to des-
troy the credit of the state and deprive
its people of the necessary money to do
a successful business, than all the mis-
takes of Republican officials since the
state had name or existence. 1t might
have been better if the names of a few
old untrustworthy political barnacles
and jobbers had been kept more in the
background. These must all be dropped
sooner or later and the sooner the better
for the party. The most of them have
gone over to the Peoples party. The
rest of them should go there or elsewhere.

THE STRAW WORM.

From the Lawrence Journal.
Vernon Kellogg has been at work on
the straw worm that threatened des-
truction TO the wheat in central Kansas
during the early part of the season, and
has made some discoveries that will be
of interest to the farmers. The worm
was creating great havoc in some of the
wheat fields. but its incursions suddenly
ceased. kellogg has discovered that his
timely end was due TO a small fly that
Jumped upon him with both yellow legs
and all four of its wings and left nothing
of him but dry shell. To aid and en-
courage this four winged, yellow legged
parasite should be the aim of every farmer
in the infested district, and Professor
kellogg saws this can be done by burning
the straw and stubble during September.
as by the first of that month the parasite
has escaped while the larvae Of the straw
worm remains in the straw. IL the straw
Is burned before the first of September

The periodic discussion of war in Eu-
rope seems to be the absorbing theme
over there just now, though no specific
cause for hostilities is apparent at this
distance. That there is a general feeling
of apprehension of an early outbreak of
hostilities on the continent is evidenced
by the large increase in the number of
emigrants to the Americas, especially
the United States. The general hard
times throughout Europe, and aggra-
waited as the situation is by the crop fail
ures and consequent scarcity of provis-
ions, has no doubt facilitated the emf
grafton movement somewhat, but the
dread of war has unquestionably con-
tributed largely to the inspiration to get
out. And nothing could be more nat
ural than that those people should turn
to this country, where peace and plenty
prevails.

How to Oil a Hayness.

Take harness to a rco1l where you
can unbuckle it and separate the parts
completely. Wash each part well in
lukewarm water to which has been added
a little potash. Scrub well with brush
until all grease and dust have been re-
moved. Wash the pieces well under the
hand until they become supple. It won't
do to oil until the harness becomes so.
Let the parts dry in a place where they
will do SO slowly. When just moist, oil.
For this purpose use codliver oil, as it
is the best for the purpose. Besides, if
you use neatsfoot, the rats and mice are
your enemies at once, while they will
not touch a harness oiled with codliver
oil. Give a good dose of oil to all parts,
then hang up to dry. When dry rub
well with soft rag.

containing or 3 per cent of caustic
potassa. If the liquid remains color
less the honey is pure. but if it turns
brown it contains the potato sugar
sirup. If there is wheat -four in the
honey (and it is sometimes used to
increase the amount), it will become
very liquid when heated and solid and
tough on cooling.

When shells become dry they often
lose their luster. To restore it wash
them in water in which little gum

white of an egg. If the shells have a
dull, thick skin, it can be removed by
soaking in warm water and rubbing
with brush, or, if very adhesive, by the
use of a little nitric acid in the water.
Use the latter with care, as it may de-
