THE ..MIDDLE OF THE ROAD"

In the election returns the few anxious
Populists in the States which did not vote
will look in vain for their associates in
other States who started out in the mid
die of the road so bravely in Ohio, Ken
lucky and Iowa some time last July. They
are not in the election returns. Few reached
the polls via the middle of the road. Posi-
bly, their bodies may be found dead, having
famished and fallen by the way. The local
leaders may have voted in Ohio, but they
had no following. Others who were leaders
early enlisted under Mclean, and, if they
have not spent it, the shilling of his re-
cruiting sergeants can be found on their
persons. The same is true in Iowa. Where
were these colonies and captains of Popu-
ism? Not many years ago, in Ohio, where
political badness is reported so frequently
local Democratic worker promised good
things in the event certain orator should
be sent to his township. He was sent, but
when the votes We're counted the Demo-
Gratis were never so few as by that test
When called to account he answered with
the air of a martyr that 1.-The Republicans
came down and bought us like hogs" There
is d suspicion that the Populist leaders
were overcome bodily in Ohio by the Nc
Lean lucre.
In the light of Tuesdays elections there
is no longer Populist party. The votes it
polled IL 1892 and in 1894 seem to have been
transferred to the Democrats. This is be-
cause the Democrats have adopted so much
of the Populist political heresies that it is
not worth While to keep up separate par
ty. Therefore, the Populists who shouted
that the Popocrats who nominated Mr.
Bryan had stolen the principles of the Pop
ulists were correct. Now it appears that the
Populists, even those of the middle-of-the-
road variety, have carried the mutilated re-
mains of their principles into the Demo-
cratic party. We shall near more or less of
the middle-Qf-the-road Populists. A few
well-meaning but misintormed men will as
semble now and then, wrangle a few hours.
adopt a long list of resolutions and disap-
pear. 1t is no longer worth while to keep
up a Populist turnpike. There is none of
him of any consequence to travel in the
middle of the Populist road. For the very
lew of the old Populist party who stand by
the name any trail will suffice.

further spread In view of its presence in
spect their orchards and make every effort
to prevent its spread. In case the orchardist
detects it's presence, he should at once send
a piece of the bark with some of the in
sects on it to the Purdue experiment sta
ton, Lafayette. for examination, and should
make a statement of the extent and loca-
ton of the pest In order to destroy it
whole orchards have in some instances been
cut down, though it can sometimes be de-
solution of whale oil soap. two pounds dis
solved in one gallon of water, or with
strong kerosene emulsion. AS already inti
mated, the chief means by which the in
sect has been disseminated is by the pur
chase of infested nursery stock. This is an
important matter for Indiana fruit grow
ers, especially as many old orchards are
now being replaced with new ones. Our or
chardists should use great care in buying
nursery stock, or they may not only lose
their own trees. but assist in the further
dissemination of the pest. Many States
have enacted laws regulating the sale of
nursery stock within their territory In
diana has no such law, consequently much
inferior tree stock is constantly being ship
ped here from other States. Our nursery
men, however, cannot ship trees or shrubs
to those States having protection unless
they comply with their laws. This may
mean the necessity of a nursery securing a
certificate from a state entomologist certi-
flying that their plants are free from in
furious diseases or insects. Indiana has no
such official, our producers are placed at
a disadvantage. Both nurserymen and or
chardists should look to it that Indiana
is given proper protection in this respect
through legislative action. In the mean
time it is doubly important that every per-
son interested in our great orchard and
fruit interests should be on his guard to
protect them in every way possible. Just
now there is no more important duty than
to assist in wedding out and destroying the
San Jose scale

IASIGI FOUND GUILTY.
BostOn's FO1m er Turkish Consul Con-
victed of EmDezxIement.

BOSTON, Nov. 4.-The Superior Court
Jury which has been trying the case
against Joseph Andrew Iasigi ex-Turkish
consul, charged with embezzlement, re-
ported a verdict of guilty this forenoon,
Iasigi was accused of embezzling 100000
from Pierre Charles Derieux and Charles
Antoine Armand Berger de la Villiardiere,
of France of whose estates he was trustee.
On the application of Assistant District At
torney Sughru, the amount of 1aSigfS bail
was increased from $780, 0e to $4,000 in this
case which, in addition to $25, 900 in another
case makes a total of $75, 900 in which he Is
now held. Judge Sheldon gave twenty days
to Iasigi's counsel in which to file the Elk
ceptionS.
Previous to his arrest and consequent
dismissal from office Iasigi was one
of the most prominent men in Boston So

had been in the Iasigi family forty years.

SIMPLY A LITTLE cAsTIGATIoN.

Democratic papers have disiigured their
pages with poster type and half-page cuts
of ROSTERS to declare the successes of their
party in Tuesdays elections Local Demo-
cratic committees claimed everything in
sight until the counted votes repudiated
their claims The glib-tongued man has
rushed to the Associated Press with his
statement" and George Fred Williams, the
political harlequin Of Massachusetts, Who'll
happy because his vote is nearly as large as
his opponents plurality. has issued his
Statement" as TO the Importance of the
Democratic gains. Doubtless there are
those who will continue to believe that the
Democrats achieved something in Tuesdays
elections.
Now that the ballots have been counted
it appears that the Democratic party has
gained nothing. In Ohio, where Mr.. Mclean
has spent money lavishly and has resorted
to all the arts and wiles of an expert, the
Democracy is badly beaten. 1t aimed to get
the Legislature and thus secure a silver
senator in lieu of Mr.. Hanna. 1t is now evil
dent that it has failed while the plurality
for Governor Bushnell is larger than the
Republican candidate for President has re-
ceived for years in that State, with the sim
gle exception of 1896. The year following
the election of Republican President the
Democrats have carried Ohio from the Sec
ond election of General Grant sntil this
year. when it now appears that the Repub-
lican plurality is about 24O0O.
Take another State: Maryland was be-
lieved to have been swept into the Repub-
lican column under the general impulse
against Organism. Because his political ex-
istence was at stake Senator German made
such a canvass to regain Maryland for the
Democracy as has never before been known
in that State. The result is that Maryland
stands stanchly to it's new faith, and Re-
publican will succeed Mr.. German in the
Senate If this is victory for the Demo
Gratis, the Republicans can stand several
more of the same sort.
1t may be possible that the Democracy of
Indiana can find something in the mistakes
which have put Boss Croker in control of
Greater New York to arouse the exuberance
of display type and overgrown ROSTERS. If
it does it is well, because it's opponents can
afford to have it become the admirer of
Tammany
The boy who has been severely whipped
three or four times and who expects severe
fioggings on every occasion that opportunity
offers, has cause for self-congratulation if
on one day the purple ridges on his back are
less numerous and less marked, but he has
no ground to go about the neighborhood and
boast that he has got the best of the gov
ernor with the blacksnake. The Democracy
is in that position but it seems not to have
the discretion of the often-whipped and the
-to-be-whipped boy, since it regards a
light whipping in the nature of a trouncing
for the other fellow because it was not a
caStigation unto death.

A FRUIT PEST.

Readers of the Journal may have noticed
scale has been discovered in some parts of
Indiana. To know how much this may
mean to fruit growers one must know what
the San Jose scale is. 1t is an insect that
was first discovered on the orange and
lemon trees about San Jose, Cal, where it
has wrought great injury to the fruit trees
of that region. About ten years ago it was
brought to the Eastern United States and
introduced into two prominent New Jersey
nurseries. and through the stock of these
two nurseries it has been widely distributed
throughout the country. 1t probably got
into Indiana in this way, and during the
present year it has been found in orchards
of different kinds in Clark. Washington
Jefferson, Miami and Marion counties
Many of the orchards where it has been
found are badly infested. Like many other
destructive insects the San Jose scale is
very small. the female being about one
twenty-fifth of an inch in diameter. She
has extraordinary powers of reproduction
and both male and female are very de-
structive. 1t may get located in an or
chard but. owing to its small size and the
closeness with which it adheres to the bark
OF the tree, it may not be detected for some
time. or until the tree is found to be dy-

1t was suspected pending the city election
that the general support which the Citizens
Street-railroad officials and employees gave
to Mayor Taggart was the result of some
understanding by which the company would
secure reward for the zeal and effort of its
officials Was the understanding that the
decision of Judge Showalter should not be
carried to the Supreme Court of the United
States? There is ground for such suspicion.
That decision is the only obstacle to the
enforcement of the three-cent-fare act.
Therefore all time spent in local courts by
the city's attorney seems trifing to the
looker-on, with a view to deceive the peo-
pie. Judge Showalter has set aside the de-
cision of the State Supreme Court. Conse-
quently nothing can be done to give the
people the advantage of the three-cent-fare
law until the decision of the federal judge
shall be passed upon by the Supreme Court
of the United States. If the Taggart re-
gme neglects to carry the matter to that
tribunal at an early day, it will be fair to
assume that neglect to do so was the con-
sideration given for the street-railway
vote,

1t has been stated that Secretary Gage
was very angry at the premature publica-
ton of his plan of currency reform, and
that he suspected some member of the Cab
met of having leaked" Ii that We're true,
he would have a right to be angry But
there is another possibility. Perhaps the
secretary gave it out himself or had it
done in order TO forestall the monetary
commission, whose report will soon be
ready. No doubt the commission will re-
port a plan on the same general lines and
perhaps very similar to that OF the secre-
tary. If their report had come out first
and. his not till after the meeting of Con-
gress, it might have been said that he was
simply following in the trail of the COM
mission. The early publication of his plan
secures for it the credit of originality, ana
will compel the commission to follow in
stead of leading.

WORKINGMEN, EMPLOYED AND
UNEMPLOYED.

The commissioner of the bureau of labor
statistics in New York has issued pre-
liminary report for 1897 which contains
convincing evidence that the times are i'm
proving. The evidence relates to the num-
Der of workingmen employed and unem-
ployed at the beginning of the year and
now. This report is based on returns from
all the labor organizations in the State
They are complete for the first quarter of
the current year, nearly complete for the
second quarter and about half complete for
the third quarter Reports from 907 labor
unions show that on March 81, 1897, they
had an aggregate membership of $4,000, of
whom $3.50 were at work and 1880 were
idle Three months later, on June 30, the
same unions, with nineteen additional, 926
in all, reported a membership of 14S,56O, of
whom 10, S1S were at work and 25,742 were
idle. At the end of the first quarter of the
year 60 per cent. of all the members were
at work and 81 per cent. were idle, while at
the end of the second quarter SO per cent.
were at work and II per cent. were idle.
Another table summarizes the reports from
445 unions for the first three quarters of
the year. 1t shows that on March 81, out of
a total membership of 76,4S2 persons, 81 161
were at work. and 1921 were idle; on June
So out of so, S11 members, 66346 were at work
and IL 465 were idle; on Sept. 80, out of &c.
766 members, 77,646 were at work and 1920
were idle The proportion of members at
work increased from e. per cent, on March
81, to 50 per cent on June 80, and Sc per
cent. on Sept. 80, while during the same
quarters the proportion of the unemployed
members decreased from SO per cent. to IA
per cent. Estimating on the basis of these
445 unions for the whole number of unions
in the State, over $780, there were only 1866
union men unemployed during the third
quarter of the year, as against "a, 1897 during
the first quarter. Stating the fact in another
form, during the entire first quarter of the
year % per cent. of all the union men in the
State were unemployed, during the second
quarter II 1-3 per cent, and during the third
quarted 2-5 per cent AS these statistics are
based on official reports from the labor Or
CARNATIONS themselves they cannot be dis
puted They furnish convincing proof that
the revival of confidence and prosperity
since the Inauguration of Mckinley has
been immensely beneficial to workingmen
for. while they relate to the State of New
York alone, the same conditions exist
throughout the country.
