Report of Chancellor snow Concerning
 2,OOO Experiments.

TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 24-All over Kansas Chancellor F. II. Snow, of the state university, is known as the "enemy of chinch bugs" and is often referred to in this way. He is now busily engaged in compiling his report of experiments made by farmers throughout the state with his inocu- lated chinch bugs. For many years Chancellor Snow has been at work on the theory that few bugs, inoculated with disease that invariably proves fatal to its kind, could be placed in a field swarming with the insects, and that eventually the disease would spread to the healthy ones and re- suit in their death, thus saving the crops from their attacks. After experi- menting in a small way, sufficiently to convince himself and others of the practicability of his theory, he succeed ed in 1891 in getting an appropriation from the legislature to enable him to continue his work on more extensive scale. ,,
 The method adopted by him was to secure large number of chinch bugs, inoculate them with the disease and place them in bottles for free distribu- ton among farmers. Supply stations were established in county seat towns, where the diseased bugs could be had for the asking. Last year 7,500 pack ages of the diseased bugs were dis tributed in all parts of the state. From 2,000 reports so far received from those who used the diseased bugs to rid their fields of the healthy ones, Chan cellor Snow has compiled some inter- esting figures.
 They show, he says, that in about | two-thirds of the cases where the rem edy was tried it proved successful. One thing that has operated against the more successful use of the diseased bugs has been the fact that not all the farmers will use them. This gives a chance for the healthy bugs to thrive in fields near where they are killed of, and afterwards spread to the places that have once been rid of them. Mir. Snow and other scientists, who have given the subject much thought, and who have watched the experiments closely are convinced that as soon as 1 farmers are educated to believe in the efficacy of the method, and will use the infected bugs generally. there will be little to fear from the little pests that have in years gone by destroyed so many valuable fields of growing 1 prain

A REPETITION OF HISTORY.
Instructive Facts Cleaned from Former
 Democratic Mismanagement.

TdCIs Democratic Mismanagement.
 The spectacle of . secretary of the treasury beseeching congress for au- thority to sell bonds in time of peace, because of deficit in the revenues, is m unusual, but not an entirely un- precedented one. It has been wit messed once before in our history; and then, as now, the democratic party had control of the government. That was In 1S60-Ol, when Buchanan was presi- dent, and tariff for revenue only had been in operation for several years. The treasury was practically bank rupt, and general business and indus trial depression prevailed. All the re- ceipts from every source had been ab- sorbed, the public debt had been large ly increased, and unpaid creditors were clamoring for their money. The speakers warrants for the pay of mem bers of congress were presented and refused-protested, in other words for want of funds. To meet the emer- gency, the government advertised 1 S5, 1000, 900 of bonds for sale. Less than hal of the amount was bid for, and the bids that were made ranged from 10 to 36 per cent A few capitalists in New York finally made a pool bid for i Sl,500.0 900 at l2 per cent, on the ex- press condition that the sum should | be used to pay the interest on the public debt, thus preventing an otherwise in- evitable default; and, under this en- couragement, others came forward and took the rest of the S5, ,000, 900 at the same rate.
 That proceeding was simply bor- rowing of money to pay the running expenses of the government; and the l proposition to sell bonds at the present time has precisely the same meaning. | It is well to keep this fact in mind for future reflection. The government has been incurring a monthly indebted ness of from ss,000,000 to ST,000, 0OO ever since the beginning of the current fiscal year, on account of insufficient receipts to meet the expenditures; and the only way to pay that indebtedness is to issue bonds and sell them for what they will bring. Fortunately the public credit was made so good while the republicans were in power that money can now be borrowed at q much lower rate of interest than that which had to be paid in Buchanan' s time; but after few years of eXpcri' ence with the kind of tariff that the democrats are about to establish, the situation will be no better than it was when 12 per cent was exacted, and 1t was almost impossible to sell bonds at any price. The Wilson bill is virtually a duplication of the law under which the treasury was bankrupted before the war, and all kinds of industries were paralyzed. We cannot reason ably expect any better results from a second trial of the experiment than those which followed the first one, and there is no telling what will become of the public credit by the time the demo- crats are turned out. The selling ot bonds in the existing emergency Is an unavoidable necessity, and so the re publicans will reluctantly consent tc it; but the significant and instructive fact remains that such necessities arise only under the conditions of democrat | ic rrle-St LOuiS Globe Democrat.

POISONED SPRING.
A Tragedy Growing Out of Disputed
 Claim Near Cross, Ok.

ttdin ESbHT SEOsh, 'h'
 CROSS, Ok, Jan. 27.-Mrs D. w. Reynolds, living with her husband and two children on a claim near here, died under peculiar circumstances Thurs day. There are several claimants on the same claim. There is fine spring of water near the Reynolds house, from which the family used water. About two months ago the whole family, consisting of husband, wife and two children, became violently sick, all seeming to be affected in the same way. Then all the stock on the farm became affected in the same way. The doctor was called and pronounced it poisoning. They Ill recovered after having stopped us- ing the water. excepting Mrs Rey- holds. She fingered on from week to week, getting weaker day by day un- til death claimed her. It is conceded by all that her death was caused by poisoning of water by some of the claimants on the claim, which one or who will perhaps never be known.

TARIFF AND DEFICIT.
The Undecisive Course Of the Facilitating
 Democrats.

The Undecisive Course Of the Facilitating Democrats.
 The democrats arc now fysterically demanding that the Wilson tariff pill shall be rushed through congress with out delay. They say that the people want to know what the reductions and changes are to be, in order that they can make their business calculations for the future. And so the programme is, as our Washington telegrams inform us, to force the bill on in the house and pass it to vote. And yet the demo- cratic members of the ways and means committee have been utterly unable to come to any conclusion as to what leg islation to recommend in order to make up the inevitable deficiency of sixty or seventy millions which the Wilson bill will cause. The majority of the com mittee are hll at sea They had caucus at the treasury on New Years day, but agreed to nothing. The ad- | ministration programme, as voiced by Bourke Cochran, is to fix an income tax on corporations He contendcd that rate of 1 per cent would pro- duce s4O,000,0OO. But to show how wide apart are the calculations of the advocates of the different plans 1t is stated that those who insist upon tax upon individual incomes say that the tax on corporations would not pro- duce more than sl3,00O,000. It does seem that before the house should be forced to vote on the tariff bill the plan for producing a sufficient revenue ought to be settled upon.
 It will be hard for the democrats to | justify their purpose to thrust the Will 1 son bill forward and force it through under the spur of the previous ques- tion, in view of all the facts. It is now ten months since Cleveland was inaug- urated. He refused to call congress to meet at once, though the country de- manded that he should do so But 1t is even five months since congress did meet. The ways and means committee { took more than four months to prepare the bill. the republican members not | being allowed to take part, and now it l is proposed to cut off debate in the | house.
 The people are coming to the conclu- sion that the whole policy and course of the democracy in respect to the tariff is vacillating and undecisive, and that in the end it will prove unsatisfac- tory and, indeed, disastrous to the in- dustrial and commercial interests of the country.

Treasury Officials Confident That It VIII

 WASHINGTON. Jan. 24-The decision of the Knights of Labor to attempt to get an injunction restraining Secretary Carlisle from issuing the per cent bonds is still subject of comment in treasury department circles. There is practically no change in the opinion that such proceedings will not have any standing in court Certainly this opinion prevailed as to the simple question of assailing the authority of the secretary to issue under the act of 1875, to replenish the gold reserve As to whether the money thus obtained could be used for other purposes than redemption of greenbacks was admitted to be an un- decided question. As the secretary has used the so-called gold reserve to the extent of $50, ,000, 900 and no one has sought by legal methods to question it's action, it seems to the treasury off cials that this matter need give him no concern. It is held by some treasury officials that there now exists no gold reserve, the fund that originally made it up having been more than exhausted by the redemption of United States and treasury notes.
 An officer of the department in speaking to a reporter regarding the proposed action of the Knights of La bor pointed out the serious effects upon the government business that would result if such proceedings should attain standing in the courts. The re- suit, he said, would be that the gov ernment's hands would be frequently tied and it's business operations would hn SnrinnSlu hand ina nnal
