LOVING TRIBUTES.

Few public men have enjoyed the con.
fidence and love of their neighbors as
the late Governor Kirkwood of Iowa.
be was known and trusted, not only for
his sterling, homely virtues, bet for his
tender sympathies and disinterested
charities. Said A. \. Greer, an old
neighbor and friend: she was one of
best and most loveable of men. A
peculiarly touching phase of his
character was his love for little children.
While he had no children of his own he
was as father or grandfather of scores
of them. Circus day he would gather a
dozen or more little fellows about him
and say: Come, let's go to the show.
His enjoyment was in the enjoyment of
his little friends
Prof. A. n. Currier, dean of the col
legiate department of the Iowa state
university, said: "He was an energetic,
honest man. possessed of a great store of
common sense. l remember him when
he first came to the university in 1867.
He would come into the regents room
right from his work. His whip would
be in his hand and his pants in his boots.
He seemed right in his element when
attired as son of toll, and it was In that
garb that he made many of his political
speeches and won votes by hundreds.
Men who heard him were moved by his
apparent equality with them, and then
convinced by the plain, unvarnished
truths he told them. His eloquence was
not bombast, but straightforward state
ments of facts in language forceful as
an orators, but easily understood as
Ex-Governor Larabee reports a con-
yersation in which Governor KIkwood
told him of his first meeting with Lin
coin. "'I wanted said Kirkwood, 'to
find out what sort of man we had
elected president, so | called on him at
Springfield. l discussed the gloomy
situation with him and came away i'm
pressed with the fact that l had seen
the greatest man whom l had ever met
in my life.' l consider that Governor
Kirkwood was a truly great man-far
above the ordinary. He could get
little nearer the common people than
any other man."

SWEET REPUBLICANS,

Now they have sugar Republicans and
regular Republicans down in Louisiana.
The singular thing about it Is that the
saccharine variety are composed of those
who have led the hosts in every Repub-
lican defeat liz that state since the war.
1t is still more singular that these two
elements are about to fuse, and join in
the battle against Democracy. All honor
to tile sugar Republicans. They have
been tardy in coming around to right
principles, but the opportunity was
never better to rebuke the folly of pau
perizing American labor by adopting
the moss grown traditions of party so
far behind the procession of the age.
The regulars can afford to forget by
gone, and even TO admit that there is
choice material in sow's ear for the
finest grade of silk purses. They
should take the new converts on
simple confession of faith, especially
since there is everything to gain and
nothing to lose in Louisiana. They
should set up the Macedonian cry TO
their sister states to come over and help
in the good work. Republican protec-
ton means prosperity to all portions of
the south, and other states should not
be backward because the ball is set in
motion by Louisiana. There is hope OF
a commercial and political millennium
when the best men consent to lay aside
lifelong party associations in the interest
of business demands. Long live the
sugar Republicans. May they flourish
as the bay tree of their own sunny south,
and multiply as the fauna and bloom as
the flora of fair palmetto land.

The gypsum plaster factory is running

They are filling orders from Chicago, st.
Louis, Baltimore. Cincinnati, New York

mill contrary to reports of recent date, is
running day and night and is having by
far the most successful season in its his
tory. The daily output of sugar is Il, 600 to
1900 pounds. The tests exceed that OF
the sugar plantation of the south, and the
quality the finest ever produced. The
average price paid for cane is about $500
per ton which allows a net profit of about
SO acre, besides twenty to thirty bushels
OF seed which has an equal value. The
supply is sufficient to run the plant on full
time till November 1st, and should no ac-
cidents occur, the management are conf
dent of making handsome profit on the
seasons run despite the fact that the gov
eminent bounty has been cut off. Barber

infection of chinch bugs. When he first
came here and left the box for doing the
work, the farmers took little stock in
what he suggested. Some thought there
were no bugs s,others that the Prof. had a
scheme on foot by which he wished to
make money, while still others were so
foolish as TO want pay for gathering the
bugs and bringing them to town. But
now when the damage is commencing to

are bringing them in in large quantities,
perhaps when it IS too late.The Dr.how-
ever, and his assistants will do their
best. They are injecting them as rapid
ly as possible, and in some cases where
the farmers availed themselves of the
first opportunity, the disease is at work
in the fields with good results. The
Professor states that the weather of the
past few days around New Ulm has
been very favorable to the propagation
of the disease and that with one or two
additional showers the condition will be
highly satisfactory. A question frequent~
ly asked by the farmers who came in to-
day was how they could best catch the
living bugs. They did not find it an
easy matter to do so, as the lively little
insects had scampered down into the
soil when their localities had been dis
turbed. Prof. Lugger states that the
best way to catch them is to take spoon
and depress it into the soil so that the
bugs will run into it and can not get out.
Then empty the spoon into a glass ja1
or bottle. It is desirable that there be
no dirt taken with the bugs, as soil is a
disinfectant and destroys many of the
spores that ought to lodge en- the bugs
Some wheat leaves should be put into
the bottles or cans for the bugs to feed
upon. but nc air holes are necessary.
If the first 10: of disinfected bugs dc
not seem to work more should be secured
and the fields should be repeatedly treat.
ed. The bugs cannot be destroyed with:
out work. Prof. Lugger states that the
infection will spread from field to field
although not located CONTINUOUSLY and
often spreads for miles. It is fungus
growth that is borne on the wind, and
infects the bus: by lighting upon it. The
disease does not show outwardly at first
