Prof. Otto Lugger, state entomologist,
left Saturday night for Kansas with
large number OF chinch bugs, which he
will inoculate with the virus of disease
called entomophthora, which is fatal to
these insects and which becomes conta-
glOus among them. He will bring the
bugs back to this state after they are
inocu!ated. and scatter them throughout
the wheat fields OF the state, in order to
spread the disease among the little
pests. In Kansas, where the expert
ment has been tried. it has worked
etfectually. We fear Prof. Lugger has
waited too long to benefit the crops this

England has an evident interest in

BIDDLE's bond has st last been

fully and wonderfully made doeu-
ments ever recorded in the secretary

names of 800 sureties who quail
ify in sums all the way from
800 10 $50, 500. 1t is said to resemble
Democratic petition for q post
office, and the fear is expressed that
the state could not collect anything
should there be loss. However, no.
body Is counting on a loss for Mr..
Biddle's reputation for honesty is
first-class, but that Is no reason why
his bond should be formulated in q
sllp-shod manner, and kept hid In q
corner. 1t was with the greatest
difficulty that the document could
be secured to prepare description
for the press. Secretary Osborn and
his assistant would not allow 1t to
pass out of their hands, while 1t was
being copied. 1t is interesting to see
in the signatures what the sureties
consider themselves worth. For in

exemptions, w. A. Harris $40, 600,
Jerry Simpson $4,000 and SO no, all

JUST as soon as the legislature
comes to its senses q committee Of
Kansas City newspaper men Is going
to Topeka to explain to that body
how Kansas wholesale merchants
are not Disseminated against. The
following is one Of the propositions
which will be presented and elucl-
dated by the committee: The ex-
isting sugar rate from New Orleans
to Kansas City Is 80 cents, the dis
lance is sS1 miles, and the revenue
per ton per mile Is 6s cents. To
Omaha, q distance Of 2ls miles fur
ther the rate is the same and the
revenue is 81 cents per ton per mile.
To Salins, which Is only ls8 miles
beyond Kansas City and 80 miles
nearer than Omaha, the rate Is 50
cents and the revenue per ton per
mile lie $3.50 per ton per mile. st
Joe enjoys the same privilege as
Kansas City and Omaha, and so do
Atchison and Lesvenworth, both of
which combined do not handle rs
much as Sslina, not to speak Of
Wichita aud Hutchinson. The COM
mittee thinks IL an absurd PROPOSE
ton that IS Is q majority Of Us, but
they have full confidence In their
ability to persuade the legislature
that they are actuated by purely pat
riotic and economical motives In
claiming the advantages to Kansas

MICHIGAN Democrats are just nov
coming In for share Of denuncia
lion on account of the Miner Law
providing for selecting presi
dental electors by districts instead
Of by states. While it is true thai
they were actuated by selfish motive,
in enacting that law, yet the idea OF
choosing the electors by districts 1:
one Of the questions that will soon
agitate this whole country. That
method takes away the power OF
pivotal" states, and would do away
with an enormous amount of corrup,
ton in elections. Ii is clearly the
spirit of the constitution that such
should be the method of choosing
them, although perhaps not the let.
ter. In former days congressman
were chosen by states, but the prac-
tice has been done away with, much
to the facility OF our government.
When presidential electors are chos-
en- in the same way, the president
Till always have, at least for one
half his term, a congress in sympathy
and accord with himself. There is
now much said about the election of
United States senators by direct vote
Of the people, aud the number who
are opposed to II are as the fingers
on one hand. 1t ought to be so, and
the only reason why the practice
was inaugurated in the beginning
was because the Goldfish aristocrats
OF those days thought the common
people could not be trusted. In
these days the number of those who
do not wish to be classed with the
common people are few and have
little power. Selecting the presiden-
tial electors by districts should 90
hand in hand with the demand to
choose senators by direct vote. The
state legislatures are to make laws
the people need, and not to choose
rulers and cnmmoDers. The same
idea obtains in the other, for the
people Of one district have no BUSH
ness with the choice OF an eleetor for
another district. IL the plan to
choose presidents by electors is to
remain part Of our political econ
omy they will have to be chosen by
districts. The genius Of our govern
ment is to bring its machinery as
close to the people as possible, and
the tendancy now Is more In that
direction than ever before. 1t may
be argued that In the southern states
the plan would never be adopted,
and 1t is probably true that the south
ern states will be slower In adopting
1t than other sections, but 1t is bound
to obtain even there, for force we
wot not OF are quietly at work down
there which are charging the whole
social fabric Of the section. Old
things, old measures and old WAYS
are passing away, and the day Of

THE LEGISLATIVE FARCE.

To the citizen OF Kansas who IL
interested alone In the prosperity Of
the State, and to the business man,
shipper and manufacturer, who
looked to this meeting Of the legis-
lature for relief from excessive
overcharges In freight rates, the
present muddle at Topeka IL certain
ly exasperating. 1t il evident now
that nothing can be expected from
this legislature. IL has been hoped
that the populists would at once
pass an appropriation bill, SO that
the courts might pass on the legality
Of the organization, but from present
indications, they do not want de-
cision from the courts, as they have
thus far refused 10 pass any act that
might have been the means OF get
ting the differences settled. 1t has
been openly talked, also suggested
by influential republican newspa-
pers, that II might be well for the
republicans to withdraw, now that
the senator and state printer have
been elected, and let the pops run
things to suit themselves. But how
would that help settle the trouble?
II the pops have q legal organized
house, as they claim they have, how
would IL help matters for the repub-
licans to withdraw? III they could
enact laws that would stand, by the
republicans Withdrawing, they can
do SO now, for they have exactly the
same organization now that they
would have IL the republicans were
out OF the way.
Speaker Dunsmore in his letter to
Speaker Douglas openly charges that
the railroads are aiding the republic
cans, and urging them to keep up
this fight, yet among the republicans
stand Mr.. Greenlee, the wholesale |
grocer Of Hutchinson, Douglas of
Wichita, and Hoch OF Marion, and
many others, who are anxious to get |
at this freight question this session.
We would suggest to brother Duns- |
more that he might find that rail-
road influence had been at work in
his own party, he would carefully
investigate Chairman BreidenthaI
and others OF the populists branch,
who were instrumental in bringing
this state OF things about. But why
waste breath in making such
charges, Mr.. Dunsmore? III you are
speaker Of the constitutional house
Of representatives, as you claim you
are, why do you not 60 ahead and
pass laws for the relief Of certain in
terests that are supposed to be dis
against. The republicans
are not In your way. They are cour-
teous to your people. They remain
perfectly quiet while your house is
engaged in transacting its business,
your party has 8 majority in the
senate, and one of your kind occupies
he gubernstorisl seat at present.
There is absolutely nothing in your
way from passing any law you may
iesire. The truth is you have a con-
iition of things on your hands that
you did not expect, and you and
your followers are afraid to have il
ested in the courts But the people
tut over this broad state are begin I
ling to understand the situation ,
they know Who to
blame, and we mistake their temper,
Z they do not repudiate every one Of
you who have had hand in the dis
graceful proceedings OF the past
