ADVERSE CRITICISM.

There is no cleaner or more
honest republican paper in the
United States than the Phila-
delphia Ledger, which was estab-
lished by Geo. W. Childs, who was
universally admired and beloved.
Its criticism on the prospect of the
president taking the stump in the
interest of Mark Hanna will have
more than an ordinary effect upon
all classes. This is what it has to
say relative to the matter: "Sena-
tor Hanna's campaign for election
to the Office which he now fills by
appointment promises to rival in
magnitude contest for the presi-
dency, and even to exceed it so far
as the state of Ohio is concerned.
It is estimated thet it will cost ST.
100000 and about fifty men Of
national reputation have been en-
gagged to take part in it. Even the
president, it is reported: is to make
a railroad tour of the state, speak
ing from the platform of his car at
various stopping places. Such a
costly struggle for such an Office
can scarcely be to the benefit of
the community. Its magnitude is
out of all proportion to it's impor-
lance. No great national questions
are involved, as in a presidential
contest. There is very little doubt
that the whole struggle is one of
personal ACKNOWLEDGMENT. It is
bad business for a people whose
government is founded on the
theory that they elect their own
representatives without fear, con-
straint or undue influence"

Is John Sherman losing his
mind? 1t certainly begins to look
that way. He has had converse
tions one day with we'll known
gentlemen, and the next day
denied every word that he said
to them. Mr.. Mckinley must
have his doubts, as he has issued
orders to State department ofici-
ais to see that Mr.. Sherman does
not get the country into some new
foreign ENHANCEMENT, and especi-
ally to keep him from meddling
with the Cuban question which
Mir. Day has from the had exclu-
s1ve charge of. Mr.. Sherman
isn't such an old man-his next
birthday, if he lives, will be his
seventy-ffth-and if his mind has
really broken down tits probably
because of the humiliation heaped
upon him by the Hanna-Mc-
Kinlsy-Day combine.

LICE ON WHEAT.

Complaints have been made of
the blighting of wheat to a slight
extent around here in the last few
days and some have been unable
to assign cause, but it is general
ly supposed the wet weather and
hot sun was the reason for the
scalded appearance of grain. This
cause is now developed and is
shown to be an insect resembling
in appearance the common plant
louise They are found on the
heads of grain and, beginning to
work at the top of the hull, go
down, sucking the juice, it is sup
posed, of the berry. The young
are found near the JOINT of the
hull and stalk. The insect is small
of a yellowish green color, with
six fully developed legs of a darker
color and two antenn@.
A closer examination shows these
insects are, in all probability, q
genus called aphis, and as family
include numerous species of plant
lice, or green flies. They suck the
sap of plants by means of a tubular
proboscis and owing to the wonder
full rapidity of reproduction are
very destructive. The specimens
examined show tubes near the end
of the body which excrete honey
dew.
The damage they are doing is
already seen and may be much
greater. Summer fallowed fields
are hurt most, although the earlier
sown grain may get the same pest
when the berry is developed. Grass
and vegetation near fields are alive
with these insects. Farmers have
never had their attention drawn to
this pest before, in this part of the
country.
Heads Of wheat affected turn
brown at first, the tip of the hull
being blasted, the stalk dies and
the heads finally get a light yellow
color, with no substance in the
berry. A number of wheat heads
brought in, show that loss of five
bushels to the acre has already &C.
Cured in many fields.

AT Toledo, September IL. 1890,
Mr.. Mckinley said of Mi. Cleve-
land, before the Ohio League of
Republican club: During all his
years at the head of our govern
ment he was dishonoring one of
our precious metals, one of the
great products, discrediting silver
and enhancing the price Of gold.
He endeavored, even before his
inauguration to Office, to stop, the
coinage of silver dollars, and,
afterward to the end of his power
to that end. He was determined
to contract the circulating medium
and demonetize one of the coins
of commerce, limit the volume of
money among the people, make
money scarce, and therefore dear.
He would have increased the value
of money and diminished the value
of everything else money the
master of all, everything else
the servant. He was not thinking
of the poor then. He was not
standing forth in their defense.
Cheaper coats, cheaper labor and
dear money; the sponsor and
promoter Of these, protesting to
stand guard over the welfare of
the poor and lowly! Was there
ever a more glarine inconsistency
or reckless assumptlon?' How
do the last ten words fit Mr.. Nc
Kinley himself since he became
President?
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1897-08-19

A FARMER who needs a guardian
badly attributes the rise in the
price of wheat to the new tariff
law. The price of American
wheat is determined by the price
Of wheat in Liverpool. When
wheat advances in price in Eng
land it always advances in this
country. A short European wheat
crop and a large crop here is sure
to bring prosperity to the Ameri-
can wheat grower.
