This pest has now been widely scat

means of infected nurserystock, prin-
cipally from New Jersy nurseries. =.
1t is minute scale insect which
infests all manner of fruits and null
tiplies at an enormous rapid rate,
soon causing the death of the plants
attaced. This insect promises to do
untold injury to our fruit interests

ferring upon the Board of Control of

inspector and giving to this officer
power to inspect all premises and
treat infested plants as he mny deem
proper for the suppression of the in.

DEMOCRATIC GAINS.

The New York Evening Post,
though mugwump all over. if not
Republican, cannot see as clearly as
its neighbor, the Tribune, pretends
TO see, that all the signs point to u
Democratic defeat next Novem Der.
The Post furnishes the recent local
elections in several States as favora
bic to the Democracy, and then says:
In other States the same signs OF
Democratic life and energy are per
ccptible. City and town elections
wero held throughout Michigan yes
terday. and, according to the T,ib-
mes dispatches, unusual interest
was manifested" "large vote was
polled,' and while the issues, as n
rule, were purely local ones. the
Democrats generally developed uu-
looked for strength, and in many cities
which for years have returned Re
publican officials their ticket has been
elected i'll whole or in part" SINH
lar reports como from Ohio, in which
elections were held on Monday. The
Democrats cut down the Republican
malorities in many places, and car
ried others for the first time in sew
eral years. So, too, in Connecticut.
They made vigorous contest in all
quarters and scored gains in many.
In Wisconsin they are also alive, for
in the Milwaukee election OF yester
day "large Democratic gains were
recorded in all wards of the city"
Democracy ia not dead yet, nor is
it asleep, us some have seemed to
suppose.
Since the above was put in type
town elections have been held
throughout New Jersey and resulted
in sweeping Democratic gains. New
Jersey, it would seem, has returned
to her first love. and can safely be
counted Oh to cast her electoral vote
next full for the Democratic caudi
date for President.

We would call attention of our

Telegram from Columbus, Ohio, and
ask them for their opinion on it.
The election law in Ohio is some

amendment is what the leading
Democrats of Virginia have been
trying to bring about, and what
the Republicans have been declar.

Masonic Notes.

"dSObfI NOtGSs
Many of the Masonic lodges and
Royal Arch chapters in Chicago have
an abundance of work.
There are 20 councils of ROYAL and
Select Masters in Vermont with 1882
members.
Tennessee has 16 councils of ROYAL
and Select Masters with q member
ship os 507.
Ciphers aud keys have no standing
in Illinois. They are unlawful and
the edict against them should be
obeyed.
Three Masonic grand lodges, Mon.
tana, Utah aid Texas, have a signet
rihg for the grand master, and it's
transmission and explanation is @
part of the installation ceremony.
The Masonic building at Provi
deuce was recently destroyed by fire,
entailing a loss of 100000.
The beginning of genuine Masonic
literature was in 1884. Prior to that
there was nothing worthy If the
name, says the Voice OF Masonry.
The Trsstleboard opposes perpet-
ral jurisdiction because it is not a
believer in eternal condemnation.
The Voice of Masonry opposes it be-
cause it believes it un Masonic and
un Christian and a Judgment that

There are over 100000 Masons in
America. The fact is worth remem.
boring.
Freemasonry approves no rong
and defends no wrongdoer. 1t never
has no friendship for any vice or
crime. 1t never knowingly accepts
an unworthy candidate and it duly
disciplines members who become un
worthy by violating Divine commands
and precepts. Every year it suspends
or expels hundreds of members who
have disregarded its teachings and
violated the moral law.-Voice of
Masonry.

planted in n prominent spot in front
of the naval hospital at Mare Island
in commemoration of Bro. DIR. John
Nj. Brown, U. S. N, and p. G. Nj. of

honors.
The greed of some lodges to accu
mulate money in the treasury is
great evil. 1t is even as great an evil
az spending it carelessly.
A man who has no fixed place of

The SD degree is an honorary
degree and difficult of attainment ex

ted the members of the supreme

THERE is a great deal of newspaper
palaver about the immense popularity
of John Lind. In 1888-90 he failed to
receive a majority of the votes cast in
his home county of Brown. In 1888
the vote stood as follows: Lind /, 1867,
Wilkinson 1, 46l, Edwards SO. In 1890
Lind received 1871 votes, Baker 1854,
and Reynolds l. Mr.. Lind refused to
be a candidate for congress in 1892
simply because he was afraid he would
be defeated at the polls. It is freely
predicted that, with or without the
Populist endorsement, he will not
carry his home county this year.
