The leaves of rose bushes in May often
begin to be spotted with brown, and little
later they become partly or wholly skele-
tonized through the work of the rose slugs.
These slugs are rather slender, Shiny, dark
green or brown creatures, not more than
half an inch in length when full grown.
Their work is done principally upon the
upper side of the leaves, and they usually
are busy only at night or during dark days;
they retreat to the under side of the leaves
on bright, sunshiny days
The eggs from which these slugs hatch
are laid in the spring by four-winged in

ThosG Great Democratic Majority Declares
for Honest Methods,
Corruption and extravaganza have
been dealt telling blow in the ma,
tional house of representatives The
great democratic majority, as it should,
has placed itself fairly and >squarely5
ON the side of honest methods and re-
trenchment in governmental expenses.
There is something in the very sound
of the words subsidy and bounty"
that CRATES upon the ear OF most Amer
leans Even the incessant beating OF
tom-to toms in praise of this essentially
foreign policy has failed to win over to
it's support even the small contingent
of McKinleyite nominees for congress
which escaped the memorable tidal
wave of November, 1890
Neither Mr.. Harrison nor Mr.. Blaine,
both of whom are known as devotees
to the subsidy and bounty heresies, can
find food for comfort in the figures
of the vote on the Holman resolu-
ton opposing the creation of favored
classes of every kind. There were re-
corded in its favor two hundred and
twenty-nine votes, while only forty
MEMBERSHIPS than half the small
strength of the republican side Of the
house-recorded themselves in oppo-
sition.
1t was a notable success for Mr. Hol-
man and the democratic cause. AL
attempts to explain away the lack Of
republican opposition must react upon
the heads of the republican leaders in
congress. To seek to minimize the sig
nificance of that paltry vote of forty
is simply to throw the greatest dis
credit upon the party's alertness and
appreciation
There is great significance in what is
manifest, though silent, revolt in the
republican minority in congress against
those twin relics of autocratic govern
ment the subsidy and the bounty
Nowhere will this significance be more
keenly appreciated than at the white
house and in the private Office of tho
secretary of state. Boston Globe.

The Advocate OF "vIgorous Foreign
Policy" Is Silent.
The war is over, but what has become
Of the plumed knight, James G. Blaine?
The gazette is silent concerning him,
but the superstition is that he lies on
the field wounded The war was
Tracy's and Harrisonis Mr.. Blaine,s
political stock in trade for nearly
twenty years has been an impression
in the public mind that he was the un-
yielding advocate of vigorous for
eign policy. He has never done any
thing but unpack his heart with words,
but he is esteemed audacious, and the
impression was accepted as the fact.
Mr.. Harrison does not seem to have
discovered that Mr.. Blaine is fighting
American. When the test came the
great lingo was not James, but Ben
jamin. The Blaine anchor has gone to
the windward as usual. Mr.. Blaine
may be well pleased with his tempo
rary eclipse. He is cunning. When
he saw Harrison committed to an ex-
treme of protection, he threw out sug-
gcstions of reciprocity, and when over
whelming disaster bore upon the ex-
treme protectionists. he was accounted
Solomon for wisdom. There are more
than four months to the date of the
Minneapolis convention. Machiavelli
in the state department counts, per-
haps, upon the inevitable reaction in
the public mind against the bravado of
q president looking for denomination.
just what the relations existing be-
tween the president and Blaine are thel
public can only guess. How it is that
candidate for the presidential nomi-
nation owing his seat in the cabinet to
the favor of the president can remain
there passes ordinary understanding.
Blaine appears to be a perfunctory
officer. The president does not trust
him, yet knowing his popularity with
the republican party seeks to initiate
his meth DDS and blunders, greatly to
the satisfaction apparently of the sec
rotary, who stands ready to profit by
these blunders.
II Harrison suffers by reason of this
