vegetables and every green thing have

even trees and shrUbbery are not spared.
The leaves are eaten off and the trees
lett perfectly bare. On the Grassmere
farm of Capt. l.. q. Bush probably the
most damage has been done. The grow
ing crops ON his farm have been totally
ruined. Cotton leaves. bolls, and in
some instances young stalks have been
devOured by the pests, and corn has
Jared no better. The fodder blades a.. d
shuck from around the ear have all sue

Squads OF men on the infested farms

PEORIA Herald: Secretary of State

PEORIA Herald: Secretary of State
Gresham, in appointing Josiah
Quincy, of Massachusetts, as assis-
tant secretary of state, has made a
move of much political significance.
During the recent campaign Mr..
Quincy was the manager of the dem
ooratic literary bureau, a position
that brought him into close relation
ship with most of the democratic
leaders. Thus he has had an excel
lent opportunity to judge of the abil-
ity and fitness of the men who fig
ured prominently in the campaign,
and when consular appointments are
to be made he will be in n position to
appoint competent men and keep the
drones at home.
As for Mr.. Gresham. he has no en-
emies to punish and no friends to re-
ward. He has chosen as his lieuten-
ant a democrat of national reputation
as . thorough-going tariff reformer
and business man. 1t may be pre-
dicted confidently that as the months
90 by it will be shown more and more
clearly that Mr.. Cleveland's appoint
ment of Judge Gresham was an ex-
ceptionally good move and exception
ally good politics.

the bill for a general game law which has
been approved by the state fish and game
warden, and also against the employment
of Pinkerton men in this state. The bill

passed authorizing incorporated cities and
villages to acquire title to real estate out
side their corporate limits; regulating the

plomas from universities and colleges a
license to teach school without the coun-
ter-signature of the state superintendent;

SPRINGFIELD, March G.-Johnson had
his mutual benefit societies bill recommit

probably not be heard of again. The bill.
for coupons on Australian ballots was
passed, and that providing for inspection
of building and loan associations ordered
to third reading The same action was
taken with the bill requiring
foreign similar associations to file
bond for 100000. The resoluti ons
for an investigation of the charges against
the late officers of Joliet penitentiary were
passed. c. A. Warren, Chicago insur-
ance man, was excluded from the floor by
a vote of 81 to : for statements made in an
interview. Bills were introduced appro-
priating $3.50, 600 for machinery for Joliet
penitentiary and 100000 for expenses, ana
prohibiting public warehousemen from
Specializing in grain.
Pool Selling To BE Prohibited.
The house sent to third reading bill
absolutely prohibiting pool selling any
where and any time. Bills appropriating
for Joliet penitentiary similar to the senate
bills were introduced. Nearly the whole
day was taken up trying without success
tc reconsider the defeat of a bill TO pave
the streets around the state house.

IT is estimated that fully 10000
visitors to Washington called upon
and shook hands with President
Cleveland on Monday. The line
formed in the morning reached from
the executive mansion to the Cor
coran building, seven hundred yards
distant. In the afternoon there was
a similar throng, and the president
did not leave his post until the ushers
reported the last caller had been adj
mitted and presented in the east
room. Mrs. Cleveland and Baby
Ruth were interested spectators of
the scene. A Washington dispatch
says:
Mrs Cleveland looked on an in
terested spectator from one OF the
second-story windows of the execu-
tive mansion at the immense crowd
which at 2 o'clock for the second time
entered to the outer gates waiting
admission TO shake hands with the
president in the east room. From
the second-story window, directly
over the entrance door, under the
portico, the nurse stood holding
Baby Ruth, who evinced the greatest
delight in the crowd, clapping her
hands and laughing at the attention
she created. The news that the baby
was one of the on lockers from the
White house windows spread rapidly,
and many of those who, after patient
waiting had attained prominent
place in line, quickly abandoned it
in order to see the presidents little
daughter.

Judge Gresham's Democracy.


There has been great deal of dis
cussion among the newspapers as to
Judge Gresham's politics. Most of
the Anti-Cleveland democratic papers
and all the republican papers have
maintained that the new secretary of
state is still republican. Our judg-
ment as an independent looker-on is
that the Judge is low democrat and
that he is entitled to share in the
honors and rewards which may fall
to that party in the future.
In proof of this we may cite the APP
pointment of Josiah Quincy to the
position of assistant secretary of
state. Mr.. Quincy is not only dem
ocrat, but he is Jacksonian demo-
crat who believes in the theory that
to the victor belongs the spoils. He
was in Mr.. Cleveland's campaign
committee, and it was his hand that
prepared all those burning denuncia-
lions of republicanism that were dis
tributed through Mr.. Wanamaker' s
postof1ice last fall. He will have to
appoint the consuls for the next four
wears and he will not stint the hum
CRY and thirsty pilgrims of democra-
CIV who stray across the threshold OF
the state department.
So Judge Gresham evidently agrees
with us on the question OF his own
democracy. We congratulate him.

A GENIUS in Oregon has invented a
modification of the bicycle, which he
appropriately christens the skycyele.
with which he expects to skim the
air at any distance above ground he
chooses at speed of forty or more
miles an hour. The bicycle with
wings will enable its rider to fly high
and cut the air without danger from
headers, and parachute attachment
protects against too sudden descent
to terra tirma.

The Secretary states His Terms.

Bl4iEe, the report says, sitter mentioning
that this he supposed was largely due to
geographical distribution, said he could
easily understand why Canada was re
luctant to enter into treaty of unlimited
reciprocity, but that it was clear TO his
mind that no other arrangement would
suit the United States and that it must be
accompanied by discriminat on in favor OF
the United States, and especially against
Great Britain, who was their great com
petitor. and that it must likewise be accom-
panied by the adoption of a uniform tariff
for the United States and Canada equal TO
that of the United States.

REORCANIEING THE SENATE.

Germans Committee Not Making Very
Rapid Headway.
WASHINGTON, March 9-The members of
the Democratic caucus committee were in
session yesterday six and Il half hours, and
then adjourned without completing the
task of making up the committee lists.
The next meeting will be held subject to
the call Of German. Some Roadway has
been made, but the committee has only
begun to SET its way clear TO the successful
performance of the work that is before it.
One thing that can be stated with positive
ness is that nothing has yet been done in
the matter Of the elective officers of the
senate.
Friendly Committees Desired.
In view Of the many conflicting interests
involved in the matter of important chair
manships the work of recognizing will
probably be slow. All the presidential
nominations that will be made soon will
have to be referred to committees before
final action. The Republican committees
still exist. but the Democrats feel that it
is essential that they shall be passed upon
by friendly committees. instead of being
treated by the committees as at present
constituted with Republican mnjorities.
The caucus committee feels bound, how
ever, to hasten the progress of its work, for
even when the list of the majority member
snip Oh Is CoIl pIeteu II uluSt Dc
submitted TO the Republican caucus COM
mittee in order that the remaining places
may be filled.
Nominations Must Wait the New Deal.
A prominent member of the caucus COM
mittee said yesterday afternoon that until
the senate WAS organized, at least so far as
the committees We're concerned, there will
be no action upon any nominations the
president might send in. For this reason
1t was imperative that the caucus commit
tee should do its work as fast as possible
The Republicans are resting on their oars
simply awaiting final action by the Demo
Gratis. After they have been made &C
quainted with the intentions of the ma
jority Mr.. Allison's committee will re-
sumo its labors and endeavor to provide
for those Republicans who are entitled to
chairmanships
