ORANGE-GRowERs will be glad to learn
that the parasite that was sent here by
Mr.. Koebele about a year ago from
Australia to make war upon the red
scale is now propagatlng finely. 1t will
be remembered that very large per-
centage of the specimens died on the
voyage, and that but very few reached
here in good condition. For some reason
this bug was not received with much
favor from our horticultErists, and it
was supposed that he had refused to be-
come acclimsted, and had gradually
died out. But this is not true. The
sdscimens that were colonized at Com
missioner Kercheval's place on Lemon
street have propagated very extensively
and feed voraciously on the red scale
A reporter of the HERALD visited the
Kercheval place yesterday and found that
the trees there were alive with them, and
that they seemed to be in ine condi-
tion. OF course these are the progeny
of the few pairs that were set out in the
orchard over a year ago. Since the
death of Mr.. KeScheval no care what
ever hes been taken of them, but
they have just grown up wild. 1t is,
however, of great interest to the orange
growers to be assured that this parasite
is increasing and thriving, and has be
come thoroughly paturalized. Mr..
Koebele said that this inject was the
voracious enemy in Australia of the red
ecale. There is no reason to believe
he will change his nature here, and we
have little doubt that he has found
enough of his natural enemies at the
Kercheval place to account for his pres
ent fine condition. The scientific name
of this parasite is orc,ls eholybeus. 1t has
been generally alluded to. however, as
''tks eteel colored lady-bug."

Billy Young, the mac, who has had
two trials for the murder of one OF his
white slaves is a case in point. This
man is accused Of having killed the mis-
arabic woman by throwing lighted
lamp at her, causing her death in un.
speakable agony. Those familiar with
the caee feel satisfied that there ia no
room for doubt as to his guilt and the
evidence fs, in the minds of unpreju-
diced people, ample to hang the fellow,
yet on two trials the jury has disagreed.
This seems to be case fer official per-
tinacity on the part of the prosecution.
1t will be shame to all concerned in
the attempt to enforce law and justice if
vigor and this wretch given proper pun
ishment. The power OF the fraternity
to which Young belongs is ss much of
disgrace to the community as is, the ex-
istence of its individual members. 1t
is time to assert the power OF the law
and its decency as well. The fact that
these unspeakably vile creatures have
money coined out OF the bodies and

The position of Hon. N. G.
Blanchard on the financial question,
now occupying the attention Of
Congress, is conservative andsound.
He recognizes the Importance Of
bimetalism, and uncompromisingly
insists on silver occupying a large
and important position. At the
same time he abstains from harsh
criticisms of his compatriots who
may be led off into the inextricable
labyrinths Of "ratio," single or
double standard" and normal
conditions" His speech on "Bi-
metalism" is an able one, and COM
pares fayorably with the best ex-
pressions that have been made on
this important subject. With such
clear-headed and honest men as
Mr.. Blanchard in Congress the
people need have no fears that their
interests will be neglected.

the present discussion. There is a homely

Answer to Wool PROBLEMS.

As some have expressed q desire to
know the answer to the problem publish
ed three weeks ago, we give ii, a. follows:
PPoBLEM-How much wool, at twenty
fivo cents per pound, is required to pay
tor carding the remainder of fifty pound )
at nine cents per poundS
ANswER-The miller should receive II
All pounds as his toll, while the owner
should receive SO 1917 pounds OF carded
wool. Proof-multiply owner's share by
3 cents, then divide by Is cents, and tho
quotient will give the miller's share.
Solution-the 9 cents charged for card
ing makes the wool worth "a cents Dor
pound, therefore 9-4 Of SO pounds is the
mifler's share. The Same solution may
be arrived at by estimating that Is pounds
at 9cents would pay for carding SO pounds
then by reducing 1858 You have 9-34, the
part the miller got for carding
of so pounds.

The Debate in Congress.

Discussion of the best means to
relieve the financial depression Of
the country continues with appar-
ent unAagging interest and zeal.
The bone of contention seems to be
as to who shall have the honor and
and credit of framing the proper
bill. All sides agree that bimetal-
ism is the need of the hour-that
an increase in the circulating me-
dunn is imperative. There are
many men of many minds and va
ried interests of various kinds to
be harmonized, and all have to be
heard and patiently considered be-
fore any measure can be adopted.
But the country feels safe since it
begins to understand the merits of
the discussion, and already conf
dence has been restored in fnan-
cial circles, and the announcement
is made that an abundance of mon
ey is being offered to move the
crops and conduct the business of
farmer, merchant and artisan.
As soon as the SILVER men in
Congress tumble to the fact that
silver has always been valued by
the gold standard, as is abundantly
shown by the "ratio" of 16 to / or
20 to I; and that the Gold Clause
of 1884 providing for this very
thing about covers the case, or can
be made to do 30 with but slight
amendment, there will be but little
trouble in passing q law on the |
subject that will be perfectly Salts |
