The GRAPEVINE Flea Reetle

The new grape pest referred to in
our last issue, is, according to J. ID.
Scout, an old enemy, and has been for
some years, but he does not regard it
as at all formidable. Its classified
name is Halatica ChGLy6ea, of which
the following account is given:
Like all flea beetles, this insect has
very stout, swollen high thighs by
means of which it is enabled to Jump
about very energeticalIy, and is cOnse-
quently very difficult to capture. The
color of the beetle varies from steel
blue to metallic green and purple. The
beetle hibernate in a torpid state under
any shelter such as loose bark crevices
of stakes, ETC., and they are reused to
activity quite early in the spring, doing
the greatest damage at this early sea-
son by boring into and scoOping out
the unopened buds. As the leaves ex-
pand, they feed on these, and soon pair
and deposit their small orange eggs in
clusters on the under side of the leaf.
These eggs soon hatch into dark
co!ored larvae, which may be found OF
all sizes during the latter part of May
and early part OF June generally on the
upper side of the leaf, which tEey rid
die, devouring all but the largest ribs.
A dusting of dry lime kills the larvae.
but the beetle has to be caught and
killed. 1t is said that if strong solu.
tlOn of potash is thrown over the vines
it will destroy them.

THE Report of the State Auditor
which has been left in the Offices of the
Prothonotaries of the counties, for dis
tribution, contains figures that are
worthy of study by those who wish to
know the items of expenses in the cur
rent accounts of the State. A part of
the report as summarized by cotempor-
ary, is as follows:
The State Auditors report for last
year, issued this week, and now open
before us, shows that $15,305.57 was
paid to the Judiciary last year. This
is trife over S., 100 for each of the
Eve judges that constitute the courts of
the State of Delaware.
The Auditors report shows an ap-
preparation Of $11 900 for the Worlds
Columbian Exposition, and the people
got nothing for this except the privi-
lege of resting in house that was sold
last week for $40O.
The Secretary of State gets, besides
Office expenses, a salary of 81 500 per
year, big sum when the ability and
work that are required are considerd.
This officer received about $500 per
year forty years ago.
The Adjutant-General of the State,
who is nothing more than q military
figure in gold braid three days in the
year, drew $600-Which is almost $500
too much.
The Boundary Line Commission cost
$4,O76.14, which with previous ex-
penses, make sum sufficient to buy
outright all the new territory acquired
by Delaware from Pennsylvania.
Inc Insurance Commissioner receives
annually $500 for about one months
work.
The members of the general Assem-
bly, got over SO 900, and their clerks,
contigent expenses, &C., received ST.
544.S2, and the crowning waste of the
farmers hard-earned money by the
legislature was the expenditure of So
255.OO for drafting bills and attorneys
fees.
The distribution of the Direct Tax
fund cost last year 81 l,O69.l2: the spe-
cial constables of the city of Whining.
ton SIG, 1900, and the preparation of
the revised code f2,520.92.
What the several county officers re.
eeive as compensation, in the matter oi
fees and salaries, is not possible of de-
termination by any record that we can
ind. Each receives, it is stated on
good authority, from $500 to $4,000 in
Kent county. We believe they should
be paid salaries, and not fees, and the
positions made elective. Plenty of
competent men would be anxious to
serve at 1920 and $500 per annum.

THERE is a great deal of rubbish
every day in the newspapers about Coxey
and his hungry, ragged and foot
sere commonweal army. The au-
thorities at Washington looked at the
matter from a serious aspect last week
and took extra measures to meet a
possible band Of outlaws, but "citizen"
Coxey when he reached the outskirts
OF the city on Saturday had about 300
followers, and were viewed more with
curiosity than fear. But Coxey is but
a type of the discomfort more or less
organized into bands stretching out to
the Pacific coast. There have been
mutterings and threatenings all along
the line, and it is the uncertainty as to
what may result at any time, that
causes apprehensions. The Ledqer in
speaking OF the agrarian movement
says:
The tramps composing the so-calIed
Industrial and Commonweal Armies
are marching upon the Capital from
California, Colorado, Oklahoma, Viz
ginia. Wyoming Kansas, Massachusetts.
Ohio and Pennsylvania. The largest
of them is commanded by Gen. Kelly.
it Is 1900 strong The next largest il
Coxey's, which has about 800 recruits.
The object of them ell is practically
the sames they are going to Washing.
ton TO attempt to intimidate Congress
or as the District Commissioners state
In their warning proclamation of YES
terday, to compel Congress by ''mere
force of numbers and physical pres.
ence" to make laws providing for the
employment by the Government OF
labor and the issue of ilimitable fat
msney. Apart from this timely and
proper proclamation the movement has
generally excited nothing but ridicule.
She ecountry refusing to consider it seri-
ousiy. In its announced purpose it is
ridiculous. Congress cannot be intimi-
dated by any such means, and If the

BAD notice that they will be prevented
dong any mischief. But there is /
serious aldo to this movement; It Is thai

economic and hnancial heresies, th.
very existenes of which are menacl

THE papers last week chronicled a
series of destructive earthquakes in
Greece whereby 800 lives were lost and
a great destruction of property re-
suited. A week later it had another
and more destructive visitation, 500
persons were killed and thousands left
destitute of shelter and food. At Ala
lanta for two hours the trembling of
the earth was almost continuous, 265
shocks being felt in eight hours. The
fields and highways have been torn
with deep 1issures.

are fed and sheltered on the march by
these sympathizers, without whose sub
stantial aid their progress would be
barred. Coxey's demand upon Con-
gress is for the passage of two separate
bills, one providing for the the issue of
$500, 100000 of legal tender notes, to be
expended by the Secretary of War at
the rate of $40, 100000 a month in build
ing roads; the other, that any State,
city or village may deposit nOn-inter-
est.bearing bonds, to the amount of
half the value of its property, upon
which the Secretary of the Treasury
shall issue legal tender notes. These
demands do not seem reGoncilable with
absolute sanity, and they never would
have been probably if Representatives
and Senators of the United States,
stepped to the lips in Populism and So
cialism, had not been Clamoring and
contending for free and unlimited sill
yer coinage, for legal tender certificates,
redeemable only in silver, for other and
greater debasement and initiation of the
currency, and for reprisals upon the
rich for the benefit of the poor Coxey's
preposterOus demands are but natural
sequence of Populist heresies, which
the Democrats in Congress have adopt
ed as their own, and the basis of which
is so purely Socialistic.
The spirit of these armies is shown
by the statements of their Generals" D."
Coxey having been asked on Saturday
if they would resort to violence il COM
pliance with their demands were re-
fused by Congress, replied: "It is hard
to tell what people will do. Forbear-
ance ceases to be virtue after awhile.
Under certain circumstances there is
not much difference between a human
being and an animal" General"
Kelly, on the same day, told his army
that he expected they would have
trouble before they got to Washington.
"All revolutions" he said, have re-
ceived a baptism of blood, and l don't
expect this one to be an exception to
the rule"

CANALS seem to be especially en-.

This has been nOticeably so this week
in a call for public meeting in Balti-
more to foster the interests of the long
talked of ship canal across this PENN
sula, and in Philadelphia to advocate
the construction of ship canal be-
tween that city and New York, the
idea being for an interline of communi-
cation from New York on down
through the CarOlinas. In time of war
our shipping could then all be inland.
