Il NE W PEST.

AS if the festive potato bug, and
the wire worm, and several other
pests with which the farmers have
to deal were not enough, new
arrival is rehorted at the West which
promises to make life miserable for
the agriculturists of that section on
whose lands it secures a foothold.
The new plague is the Russian this
tie, which was taken to North Da-
kota some years ago in the seed of
some Muscovite immigrants and has
since also appeared in Nebraska,
Iowa, Minnesota, and northern
Wisconsin. The Springfield Repub-
lican thus describes it:
1t is a plant of astonishing vigor
and fecundity, growing up and out
ward rapidly to the size of sod
cabin shading surrounding crops
and mOnopolizing the moisture and
nutrition of the soil and then scat
tering its seeds far and wide on
every wind. So tough and poison
Gus are its prickles that men and
animals are said to be compelled to
wear sheet iron bootlegs in passing
through the thistle fields, and it is
related that in Siberia the plant has
simply conquered large stretches of
land and driven agriculture away
from it."
If the above description comes
anywhere near the reality, it must
be admitted that the Russian thistle
is a terror" Strong efforts are
being made, it is said, to conquer the
pest, and one Western senator wants
congress to help on the fight by a
substantial appropriation. Eastern
farmers will devoutly hope that the
thistle may be exterminated there
and not be allowed to get a start in
this section of the country. 1t will
be wonder, however, if so for
midable a foe can be subdued before
its influence is felt on Eastern farm
lands

JURIES AND CRANKS.

The conviction of Prendergast, the
eccentric slayer of Mayor Harrison
of Chicago, meets with very general
approval, because it demonstrates
that a crank who deliberately COM
mits murder is not necessarily safe
on the mere plea of "cranklness, -
when he gets before jury. The as
sassin in question persisted in his
crankiness to the last and strongly
objected to the entering Of plea Of
insanity in his behalf. The jury
have accommodated him and
brought in a verdict in proportion
to the offence This is entirely right,
and we hope the lesson will not be
wholly lost upon that class of ind
viduals who, like Prendergast, seek
to create sensation and build up
notorietv for themselves by some
startling act against the peace and
dignity of the state.
Prendergast is a crank of the first
water-there is no doubt Of that.
But his criminal method had no dis
tinct flavor of insanity in it; it was
rather the method of a desperate
man, who set himself up-in revenge
for some fancied wrong-against
law and order and against persons
in high places. Prendergast is the
product of a socialistic process
which breeds malicious discomfort,
not insanity.
The Chicago jury have done a
wise thing in holding this murderer
wholly responsible for his crime.
And if the cranks of the country
of whom, by the way, there are not
a few-will take the hint and realize
that their individual eccentricities
do not place them beyond the pale
of the law, we shall have fewer trag-
edies such as that which recently
shocked Chicago. Juries do the
people an appreciate service when
they refuse to give the crank the
same legal standing as that which is
SO promptly accorded to a genuine
lunatic.

A WILDERNESS AHEAD.

We are permitted to copy the fol-
lowing by an old ST Johnsbury resi-
dent who now lives in the South. 1t
is bit Of condensed truth which will
bear second reading:
cit is apparent that we are approach
ing a democratic wilderness, and l am
afraid a kind Providence will deny us
even the mama of olden days. We have
had only nine months of Clevelandisn,
but confidence is destroyed, trade para
lived and the wheels of commerce silenced.
Invested capital will receive no dividends,
and only charitable soup house doors can
save the poor mechanic from the pangs
of hunger. Under democracy's free trade
we can see our own great mills silent, but
our wharves are heavily laden with i'm
ported goods"

REA BILE JEALOUSY.

The Montpelier Waterman takes
a jealous view of the home mark
ct. calling it "a given space in
American industry" and holds that
the American farmer cannot share
that market with the Dominion
farmer, without fatal injury to the
formers interests. The Watchman is
right, and the American farmer is
right, in looking askance at any
proposed encroachment on the
market which is the nearest, the
natural and the most pro6tab BILE. y
American interests, whether they
be those of the farmer or the manu-
facturer, need certainly to be guard
ed with jealous care; not that any
special class of manufactures or any

Andrew Carnegie did a handsome
thing, to be sure, in offering $780,
900 for the relief of Pittsburg's un
employed, and the city should take
him at his word promptly and meet
his gift with another of the same
size. But the announcement that
the workingmen in the Carnegie
mills have had their wages reduced
on an average Of forty per cent will
take the keen edge off the public's
appreciation of Mr.. Carnegie's gen
crosby. 1t smacks something of in
consistency to make so princely a
gift one day and so extensive re-
duction in wages the next. How
ever, if Pittsburg puts down another
100000, the total Of 100000 will
go great ways towards making
an easier winter for the city's idle
men, and the reduction in wages
may not hold out unreasonably.

1t seems somewhat surprising that
so wide awake a village as St. AL
bans-which, by the way, has grown
not a little during the past year or
two-should be content with so
primitive fire alarm system as the
blowing of locomotive whistles.
There is no doubt about the awak-
ening quality of the steam whistle,
but its relia bility as an indicator of
the locality Of the fire may safely be
called into question. st. Johnsbury,
Burlington, Montpelier and other
places in the state can attest to the
excellence of the electric alarm sys-
tenn, and any arrangement which
cOnduces to a definite alarm and a
speedy location of the fire can scarce
~ be regarded as an extravaganza in
village expenditure.
