Destruction OF ChInch Bugs.
Topeka Capital,

A valuable document is the first an :
nual report of Prot. Snow as director
of the experiment station, at the state
university, on contagious diseases of
the chinch bug. Tho report is a vol
ume of go pages, published by the
state printer, well indexed and Illus
trated with diagrams and a map Of
Kansas showing the distribution and
effect of experiments in the state dur
ing 1891.
Prof. Snow seems to establish con-
clusively in this report that three dis
eases were communicated with fatal
effect to chinch bugs from his intec-
ton jars. These diseases were the
white fungus to which Prot. Snow ap-
plies the scientific name Of iSaTfd or
trichOderma. No less than 10000
chinch bugs which had died of white
fungus were obtained by Prof. Snow
and the infection sent to farmers in
nearly all parts of the state. Reports
were returned by 1889 of the 1000
persons to whom the fungus was sent
and of these 76Is per cent reported
success, l3 per cent failure and lO1a
per ceht doubtful results. Prof. Snow
says:
The infectious diseases of the chinch
bug have been introduced with de-
structive effect during all months of
the year (from March to October) when
chinch bugs have been active in the
field. Crops of all kinds have been
rescued from destrdction-wheat, oats,
corn, broom corn, barley, rye, sor-
ghuin, Milo maize, kaffir corn, timo-
Thy aud clover. -.
These prompt results SET m TO indi-
cate the ultimate complete success OF
Prot. Snow S experiments aud the inn
portance and value OF his discovery To-
Kansas is therefore beyond computa-
| ton.

New YORK, June 20.-During last

and German bankers in this city, and
is for the Austrian government for the
purpose of forming the gold currency
Of that country under the new currency

required by the Austrian government is
500. 900. 900, all of which under exist

MINER LAW SUSTAINED.
The Michigan supreme Court Decides
Unanimously That the Election Measure
Il EnnstitutfonaI

The Michigan Supreme Court Decides
Unanimously That the Election Measure
Is constitutional.
LANSING, Mich, June 1S.-The SUI
preme court has rendered decision
sustaining the constitutionality of the
Miner election law, which was passed
by the last Legislature. The decision
of the court was unanimous.
Justice Montgomery wrote the
opinion. All the points raised
by the petitioners are fully dis
cussed. The court declares that the
right of the Legislature to determine
the mode of choosing electors has been
firmly established in practice since the
adoption of the constitution, and does
not seem TO admit of controversy. The
act in question is in conflict with
the law OF congress in so far as
il attempts to fix a date for the meeting
of electors and the method of certify
ing To their action. but thellaw is not
necessarily imperative because in some
of its provisions the legislature has ex-
ceeded its power. The court SAYS:
I'VE have considered the questions presented
ia the case with that care that the exceeding
importance Of the issue seems to imperatively
require, and reach the conclusion that the
statute must stand as the lawful edict
of the legislature. The injustice Of any
other than uniform system of elect
the president of the United States
manifest in legislating upon this
subject. il should not be regarded from a
party standpoint, but neither the fact
that this important consideration has been
overlooked. nor that this legislation may re-
suit in serious injustice can extend our Jurisdic-
ton justify in usurping functions which
under the constitution pertain TO the egisla-
ture"
The court politically is three re-
publicans and two democrats. The
Miner law was passed by the last legis-
lature, which was democratic.
