THE CRIOKETS.
A Swarm Deposlting Eggs in
Quigley Gulch.
But q Parasite has Begun Its

Last evening Professor Milliken
found swarm of crickets 10 Quigley

about mile from Main street.
Tho conditions being very favor
able, he made . thorough. though
merely preliminary, investigation into
their appearance, habits and SO forth,
and brought back As many specimens
Is he required for further examina-
ton.
The swarm is one of the many
into which the crickets are divided.
The species i. the same as is ravag>
ing the orchards and crops along the
Oregon Short Line between Shoshone
and Boise.
Tho criokets are full grown and the
females are depositiog their eggs.
The males aud females are easily dis
ting uishable, a. the latter have
tail-iike appenda.e known as AL owl
positor. This is about an inch long.
aod is driven into the ground, the
eggs are slid down this tube like "tail," :"
and thus deposited. If undisturbed
they will remain until next spring,
when small crlckets will be hatched,
and q swarm, the size or number of
which will depend on circumstances,
will result.
The criokets up Quigley gulch are
infected. This is plain to an expert,

But the vast majority OF them move

This mite, which is fatal to the

Tho cricket is net nearly as prolific

ing him with forging check for S35. purport-

nessey note purporting 10 be written by
Duncan and enclosing the forged check
which Hennessoy cashed, Aending tho money

examination OF Weltz that he had failed on
several occasions to identify Haphey. for the
to identify him Haphey wore a stubby i beard sl
whereas the man who gave him tho note to
Hennessey was clean ahaven. After these
failures Weltz was locked up In the Tombs at

in the Tomba three days Weltz concluded

Income Tax Number Two.

Once only In the history Of the United
States has the Federal Government found
It necessary to impose and attempt to col
lect an income tax.
That was under tho stress OF civil war.
The tax was forced by the enormous expen-
ditures OF Government engaged In mill
tary and naval operations on gigantic
scale. The Income tax was war measure,
last resort, n revenue expedient obnoxious
In itself but justified by the necessity that
knows no choice.
A Democratic Administration has now
boon In power for little moro than six
months: six months Of profound peace.
Has Democratic rule for six months
brought the country to a condition equiva-
lent to that resulting from the stress OF
war, with half the country In arms to con-
quer the other half? Has Democratic rule
proved such q misfortune that resort is
necessary for the second time in our
national experience to the calamity tax,
the extreme expedient and last effort OF
the taxing power

tuition?

| BARRIos is ruling the Guatemalians with .
rod OF Iron. The army stands by him. ~ he
has encouraged lite impoverished and mer-
cenary officers with the assurance that the
Treasury will soon be full.
However. our latest advices. which come
by way Of Washington from DR.. PIERCE
| YOUNG, the American Minister. and Com
mander WHITING OF the cruiser Alliance.
lead us to imagine that Dictator BARRIos
may not DO able for very long to exercise
the supreme power. There are signs Of re-
volt In the north. There is discomfort among
the half-castesin Quezaltenango and among
tho Indians In Totonicapan, two Of the larg-
est cities OF the country. The constituents OF
some OF the Deputies are unwilling to have
their representatives kept In durance
Ex-President BARILIAs Is suspected Of
conspiracy. The refugees who fed to
San Salvador are reported to be pre-
pairing to return and start a revolution.
There Is even an apprehension OF an armed
demonstration In the capital against the
dictator. 1t has become evident that BAR
RIOS cannot be safe. We may any day
hear Of his fight. OF his pursuit by the
Infatuated army. OF his desertion by the
off1ceholders. OF a popular uprising against
him. OF the raising OF the old flag OF liberty.
Of the reassemblipg OF the National Assem-
bly,, and OF the establishment OF the Con-
stitutIon. amid the cries Of the populace.
The opera boufre may end In tragedy. In the
execution Of the dictator. The history OF
Guatemala is full OF surprising and ludi-
crous episodes.
Guatemala is a rich. beautiful. attractive |
country. 1t has liberal institutions on
paper 1t has population OF a million and |
a half. Its capital Is city Of 10000 inhab-
itants. Its products are OF a great value. |
1t has good commerce with the United |
States. 1t ought to be a prosperous.
a peaceful. and happy country. |
The trouble with 1t is that 1t has
always been badly governed. It's Gov
eminent Ia in the hands OF military
humbugs and blusterers. ignorant Of states
and swollen with ambition. They
are the curse OF the country. Even this

| AS amusing an episode as any in opera
| bou1e Is the setting up OF dictator in the
Republic OF Guatemala. Dictator BARRIos,
| an eccentric character. Is at this time play
| ing fantastical part on the Guatemalian
stage laughter-provoking part. though
| it Is dangerous both to himself and to the
spectators. 1t does not seem likely that he
will play it for a long time.
| 1t was on the 18th instant that we got
the news that President BARRIos, the au-
dacious. had proclaimed himself dictator of
Guatemala. He issued the proclaim alton
In hot haste one hot day. though
he had been preparing for the event
ever since he reached the Presidency
last year. All was quiet at the cant
tai. The troops were under arms. The
people. both haf-castes and Indians. were
oVerawed. The ohiceholders were acques-
cent. The National Assembly was dis
solved; the Deputies were prohibited from
leaving the city. and the GROWERS among
them were sent to prison. 1t was known
that rebels would be shot. Such Incidents
can happen In an opera bouffe OF Central
America. The coup d'etat was serious.
AS President OF the republic, BARRIos
had been hard up for money. On that
account he found it impossible to carry
out his policy. or pay his army, or
make the desired Investments, or suppress
the conspirators, or control the elections
or buy the guns that he needed to
resist invasion, or reform the tariff, or
pay the indemnity due to Mexico, or pre-
serve order on the frontier. or perform apy
OF the other duties that appertain to his
office. He was hampered on all hands bv
reason OF the lack OF ready cash. There ia
n comic opera In which the title role IA
taken by man situated as BARRIos was In
the capital OF Guatemala at the beginning
OF this month OF October.
This could not last. The National Assem-
bly, was contumacious. Ex-President BA
RILLAs was known to be plotting. Spies
were lowering around BARRIoss palace.
Two regiments were mutinous. The rev.
epues were running shorter every day.
though the price Of coffee was high.
1t was under these circumstances that
BARRIos, who Is a fighter with fight
in him. came to the determination
10 relieve himself of further trouble
