The Seventeen Year Locusts.

swarm of seventeen year locusts appear
this summer over parts of eight States of the
Union. The Department Of Agriculture is
sending out circulars broadcast inquiring
about them. It's object is to determine accu-
rately the limits OF the areas occupied BY the
insects. There are % known broods of them,
which turn up in different years in various
sections of the eouutry. Their respective ter
ritories over lap to some extent Each brood,
however, comes out OF the ground only once
in seventeen years. The intervals are abso-

ton as that the locusts will appear at given

From 1869 to 1879 the wheat area OF the
United States increased from 1919, 900
acres to S5.4SO.OOO. or some 10. 2OO. 900 acres:
the additions averaging 1.690.OOO acres per
annum. The rate OF increase slackened
after 1870 but 1t was such as to add another
4.OOO. 900 acres In the five years ending with
1884. In which year the area reached its
maximum at 39.476.0O0 acres. By this time.
however. the arabic portion of the public
domain had. except In Oregon. Washington,
and the Dakotas. been very thoroughly ap-
propriated; aud in consequence. additions
to the wheat area ceased. and reduction be-
han or was continued elsewhere than In
Minnesota. Kansas. Oregon, Washington,
and the Dakotas.
From 1873 the conversion Of wheat lands
to other uses had been very active In the
Lake States. and soon after became very
general In all the States east OF the Missis-
sippi. as well as in Iowa. Missouri. and Ne
braska. Not single group had as great
an area under wheat In 1889 as In 1884. al
though the enormous additions to the area

The Murray Hin Churches.

The Church Of the Covenant. at the cor
ner OF Thirty-ffth street and Park avenue
10 to DO consolidated with the Brick Church.
ut the corner Of Thirty-seventh street and
Fifth avenue. Both OF them are Presby-
terrain churches. and they come together
for the very practical reason that one only
is sufficient to hold all the Presbyterians OF
the neighborhood.
When the Murray Hill district was built up
with elegant residences. most Of the materi-
ally rich Protestant churches In the lower
part OF the town removed thither. In order
to DO near the men OF wealth. upon whom
they depended chiefly for support. The
consequence was that the region became
oversupplied with church accommodations,
though It contained the largest proportion
ate Protestant population OF any district In
the town. These downtown churches were
able to sell their old sites at prices which en-
abled them TO build large and imposing
houses OF worship. congruous with the gen
orally expensive architecture OF tho Muir
ray Hill region. and adapted to tho luxu-
rious HABITS and tastes OF Its wealthy pop
elation: but DC they were many. they over.

The Tariff Reform that Is Required.

The MCKINLEY tariff bill, which was de-
nounced by tho Democratic National Con-
vention Of yoar ago as 1.-The eliminating
atrocity Of class legislation" affected. rs
we were told by Its advocates. the customs
duties levied upon sos articles OF commerce.
, For the alleged purpose OF promoting and
protecting American industry and manu.
facture, it'increased the duties on 49,
For tho alleged benefit OF American con-
suiners 1t reduced the duties on 100. 1t left
the duties unchanged on $50.
In thus discriminating the promoters Of
the MCKINLEY bill exceeded, according to
the Democratic doctrine. the powers
granted by tho Constitution to Congress,
They went beyond the authority vested Ia
the peoples representatives by the funda-
mental law. Under tho constitutional sys-
tenn OF tariff for revenue only. there can
be no such discrimination. The duty OF Con-
gress and tho Executive Is to levy and col
lect what Is needed for revenue from i'm
ports. without Partially or preference.
BY this rule the duties reduced or raised
by the MCKINLEY bill. must be equalized
The articles on the free list. sugar. coffee.
tea. hides, drugs. paper stock. silk molasses,
books. and skins, must bear their share Of
the burden. There can be no exemptions.
There can be no free list
The voters decided this question accord
ing to tho Democratic view. and adversely
to tho Republican view. in November. That
IL all there Is to 1t: and the sooner the
Democratic system is carried into effect.
and the Democratic promise to do this is
redeemed, the better 1t will be for every
one concerned.

Lighthouses and Lightning.

The tall lighthouse near Shinnecock Bay
on Long Island was struck by lightning
the other night. The thunderbolt made a
hole In the structure near the top Of the
tower. but did little damage anywhere else
in the lighthouse proper. When the cleo
trio current reached the keepers house
below. however. 1t became very destructive,
and number Of rooms are described as
having been completely wrecked by 1t.
AS rule. the lighthouses Of the United
States are protected by lightning rods. We
do not remember ever to have seen one
along this part Of the coast upon which
there was not some sort of metallic con.
ductor intended to avert danger in electric
storms. 1t is to be presumed that in this
matter OF the protection Of public buildings
against lightning. the Government has
availed itself OF the most advanced scien-
title knowledge on the subject. Our light
house system was largely developed and
improved during the time when the late
Prof. JOSEPH HENRY was Secretary Of the
Smithsonian Institution at Washington:
and, as Is we'll known. that distinguished
physicist and electrician gave important
advice to the Government in reference to
the construction and management Of Light
houses.
Now was there lightning rod on the
Shinnecock lighthouse If there was none,
why was such safeguard dispensed with
there. when 1t is usually found on other
buildings OF similar character? On the
other hand. II there was one. why did 1t fail
to afford adequate protection to the struc-
turep
In these days. when accidents by light
ming appear to be SO much more numerous
than in former times. it seems to us that
these are questions which ought to be in
vestigated and answered by some of the
scientific officers In the employ OF the Gov
eminent; and that tho result OF their In
quiries on the subject ought to be made
public for the benefit Of the community.
