THE HARLEQUIN CABBAGE
BUG.

This insect is by far the worst
pest Of the cabbage of the south.
A native ola more tropical climate,
probably Mexico, it has gradually
worked its way northward and for
several years has been very abund-
ant in this state. With the in~
crease of cabbage growing for
shipment TO the early northern
markets and to supply the home
demand, there also comes an in
crease in the number of insect pests
which attack the crop, the hardest
to get rid of being the harlequin
cabbage bug. The insect is 80 well
known as to make description Of
it almost unnecessary. The ma
ture insects are nearly oval, about
an inch long, black with led mark.

in being less marked with red,

EUROPEAN LETTER.

1eO1 LIE i Hlil.
Special Correspondent to THE HERALD,
Granada, Spain, Feb. 1, 1896,
The one great charm of travel
in Spain is the absence of fell
low tourists. The "Nectar of
romance and adventure" has
not all been drained by curious
Americans and discontinued
English and one finds the peo-
pie as musical, picturesque and
unclean as could be wished.
The local color and life have
withs;ood the comparatively
little invasion of travel, and
though Granada with it's incom-
parable Alham bra has been the
goal of more curiosity and
sight seeing than other Span
ish cities, it retains many of
its purely characteristic and
delightful features. One of
these is the gypsy camp in the
outskirts of the city. Cervantes
alone describes these people as,
"Just as God made them and
oftentimes worse.n Education
has never laid her rule or fee
rule on them; honesty and NOR
atty have passed them in des-
pair, and if the proverb affirm
ing the proximity of cleanliness
and goodness is true the gip-
sizes are "way off," 1t has been
enough for them that they live
and they have never asked
those enigmatical questions
whence, why and whittier.
Their houses are caves and we
were allowed to go through
one. The first room was the
kitchen and the last and
choicest one the abode of the
pigs. There were many of these
compartment about the size Of
a steamer state room, and as
one CROPPED his way by the aid
of a small candle into the
depths of the hill, the smell
became painfully prominent.
The pigs, though like the gip-
sizes, were contented and the
fact OF being kept In the parlor
or spere room added no AFRO
gance to their amiable man
ners. Evidences of certain lux
urious tastes were to be seen in
the cave such as a piece Of car
pet before each bed on the
earth floor, and a stovepipe
running up from the kitchen
fire place. Indeed artistic taste
was also manifest, for hanging

Later Mr.. Talbert took occasion
to say that he had noticed that
those who had taken no part in
the war were loudest in their
proclamation of patriotism and
their denunciations of those
who had fought against the
Union, and amid the laughter
of the House he quoted the ex :.
preston that "those who are
invincible in time CT peace are
generally invisible in time of
war"
Secretary Herbert gave the
House Committee on Naval af-
fairs the benefit of the know
ledge he has acquired during
his long service on that COM
mittee and since he became Sc
cretary of the Navy, at the last
meeting of the committee. He
stated without qualification that
the United States can today
beat the world in the building
of warships so far as efficiency
goes, although it has not quite
distanced all countries in the
race to lower the price of con-
struction, but he believes it
will in the near future. Already
we are building warships cheap
er than either France or Ger
many has been able to do, and
almost as cheap as Great Brit
ain does. Mr. Herbert told the
committee that in addition to
the specific recommendations in
his annual report he was in
favor of any and all proper
methods of strengthening our
Navy.
While it is generally recog.
nized that Senator Quay's can
didacy for the republican pres
idential nomination was an
nounced solely for trading pur-
poses, some of the friends of
the other candidates are afraid
of him They know his ability
as a political schemer and they
are afraid that he may be able
to sneak that nomination for
himself. A republican who has
before given me correct infor
nation concerning moves made
by Quay says of his latest:
"Quay is trying to bring Reed
to terms. He is for Reed and
has SO declared himself to
Reed, but for once he found
out that he committed himself
too soon, for when he wished
Reed to give him certain prom
ses the Maine man utilized his
Yankee cunning by adroitly
lodging. Then it was that
Quay determined to become q |
candidate himself. With Penn
sylvania's vote behind him he |
will compel Reed to voluntari-
ly make him all and more prom
ises than would have at first
satisfied him, or he will make
a dicker with some other can
didate, and Tom Plat is in the
same boat with Quay"

BROWNSVILLE, TEXAS, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2
REED TARIFF BILL.
Other Interesting Items From
the Capital.

Washington, Feb. 18th, 1896.
The Reed tariff bill is appa-
rently as dead as last years
bird nest, and it was killed by
republican senators at that.
The scheme of the high tariff
republican senators was to take
up the free coinage substitute
for the tariff bill, which was re-
ported to the Senate from the
Finance committee, vote that
substitute down with the aid
of anti-silver democrats, and
then with the aid of populists
to pass the tariff bill without
amendment. But it struck a
snag in the shape of a republi-
can revolt as soon as the very
first move to carry it out was
made, and the revolt was led
by the Chairman of the Repub-
lican National Committee-Car
ter, of Montana-who, with three
other silver republican Senators
voted against taking up the tar
if bill. The high tariff repub-
licans are now engaged in try
ing to beg or bulldoze the re-
Voting silver republicans into
coming back into line and carry
ing out the decree of the repub
lican caucus by voting to pass
the Reed tariff bill without
amendment, but there are no
indications Of their succeeding.
The vote in the House-215
to 90-against the free coinage
substitute for the House bond
bill makes it certain that wheth-
er the Senate passes the free
coinage substitute or not, free
coinage is as dead for this SEES
sion as the Reed tariff bill, and
that brings forward the ques-
ton, what is this Congress 60
ing to do anyway 1t looks now
as though the republicans would
spend the time not devoted to
passing the regular appropria-
ton bills in making moves for
or against the various presiden
tial candidates, and that the
final result of the session would
be the appropriation bills.
1t may be that Representative
Howard, of Alabama, the author
Of the dirtiest book ever sold in
Washington, was really i'll when
he was taken out of the House
the other day, and not drunk as
he was reported to be, but his
reputation was already so bad
that it really makes little diff
ference. He has never been as
ISOLATED by any or his collea-
CUES except the populists.
Representative Talbert, of S.
c., who made q little "break"
several weeks ago on the sec
cession question, turned the
tables very nicely on Represen-
tative Hardy, of Ind, who tried
to goad him into saying some
thing more about secession by
abusing South Carolina. After
Hardy had used up his stock
of epithets, covering South Ca
rolinians from John e. Calhoun
to the present Congressional
delegation, Mr.. Talbert effect
ually squelched him by remark
St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1896-10-10

quire fame and wealth. He acquired
them. Tammany made kim. All that
he has to-day, every shred of reputa-
ton, every square inch of standing in
the eyes of decent men, he owes to Tam
many.
There is a yellow streak in Cochran.
In the expressive yernacular of the
west, that he slanders and belittles, "he
will not do to tie to-" He is not true,
He accepted Tammany's food and cloth
ing, and then bit the hand that fed
him. II asked an opinion of Cochran,
any leader of the famous organization
will give it with ease and freedom. They
know him.
His present attitude is il. keeping with
his nature. He is loud in abuse of for
mer party associates and friends; he is
hand in glove with Mckinley, Plattand
others whom he once loudly abused.
That side which promises most for
Cochran is the side upon which Cochran
win always be found. MODIFICATION in
CURED binds him; no faith keeps him
true. No sense of gratitude sways his
lightest action He has no feeling Of
obligation, no faith and no gratitude.
This is the man who, with an effront-
cry so brazen that it contains an ele-
lnent of humor, challenged William Jen-
nings Bryan to joint debate.-Tam-
many Times.
