Phylloxera and its Remedy


Arthur P. Hayne, Assistant at the
University of California Experiment
Station, has published a bulletin OIL
the subject of phylloxera, which is in
effect reply to numerous letters OF
inquiry received. He finds that the
use of insecticides is too expensive for
use except in the most valuable vine.
yards, although properly applied under
favorable conditions, they are very
/ effective.
Treatment by extinction, or the tear.
ing out of diseased vines, is chiefly
valuable for checking the rapidity of
the spread of phylloxera, but cannot
be relied on as an actual permanen,
remedy.
Submersion is effective and economi.
cal only under certain special condi.
tions, such as level ground, abundant
water and soil neither too porous nor
too compact. Besides submerged vines
are apt to contract "black knot. "
equity swellings," etc.
Planting in sand requires so large a
proportion of sand in the soil and con.
sequently so much fertilizing that it
is hardly to be considered a practical
remedy. Besides it is apt to result in
inferior crops.
Mr.. Hayne, therefore, sums up that,
except in special cases, all our vine
yards will sooner OF later perish under
the attacks of the phYlloxera, except
those planted with resistant vines. He
then proceeds to consider at length the
various resistant vines, their selection.
adaptation. grating, etc. For these
details our vineysrdists are recon-.
mended to obtain this bulletin, which
Is published as an appendix to the
viticultural report of 1896.

Sanford Dodge.

In speaking Of Sanford Dodge, now
advertised to appear in this city next
Thursday evening, an exchange says:
The critics are unanimous in accred-
iting him the greatest Damon on the
American stage today, possessing as he
does all the component parts which con-
stitutes the tragic star. His wonderful
voice, his perfect conception and
Characterization of Banim's classic cre-
alton, his natural grace and admirable
figure and tout ensemble of the Pytha-
gorean hero, have inspired as great an
admiration as the genius of his person
atty has charmed and won the hearts Of
bis public. Never on the dramatic
boards did the friendship Of man for his
fellow man appear SO actually sublime
and intensely thrilling as when portray
ed by Mr.. Dodge through the medium of
this far famed touching drama. He not
only carries his audience back to Grecian
Life and Grecian scenes $500 years ago,
and incites their thought:-he makes
them feel, and the nightly ovation which
has invariably greeted the popular actor
during his auspicious career as q tragic
star is abundant testimony that the peo-
pie considers him benefactor as well as
an IDOL

Throueh the courtesy of County Audi
tor Roehr, the Graphic is enabled to
give to- the public statement of the
Great Northern Railroad taxes on their
property in Williams county. The total
amount Of taxes due from the raj lroad,
is $s, ,750.66, of which amount, 81 1870
goes into the county general fund;
S2,3S6.O5 into the schools of the county
divided among the several districts;
s493.54 into the road and bridge fund,
and $3ls.3l into the city treasury of the
Town oi Wlliston. The balance, 81 49,
06, goes to the state. This is certainly
encouraging to taxpayers of the county,
who ought to be able to appreciate the
presence of q railroad.

the court of common pleas of the district
embracing his county, and occupied the

Enough of PODuIism.

Fusion is dead in Kansas. A united
Democracy and no further fusion with
the selfish and arrogant Peoples party
The supreme duty Of the hour for the
Democrats in Kansas is to cut loose
from the fostering corpse Of the Peo-
pies party. The ranting Populists,
with full power to act, have tried their
hand at State government. Does any
sensible man want them back again =?
We should profit by experience. The
Democratic party did not win in the
late Presidential campaign because it
took too heavy load at Chicago in it's
platform. Capital is proverbially timid
The business interests of the country
took alarm at the revolutionary plat
form. 1t was n clear case of biting
off more than they could chaw." The
result should serve as warning. The
Populist party is doomed. 1t will never
command the confidence of the people
II the Democratic National convention
In 1900 shall repeat the blunder of 1896,
In laying down platform to catch
Populist votes, we believe it will meet
with even a greater disaster at the
polls than it did last November.-To-

Those MunicipaI Elections.


The results of the recent municipal
have thrown some Democratic leaders
and newspapers into paroxysms Of ella
tion not at all warranted by the occa-
sion. Mr.. Bryan vouchsafes the opin-
ion that these results indicate a pro-
found revolution in political sentiment
since the November elections, and the
Democratic press generally is indulging
in expressions of like character.
But the truth of the matter is that
while in the cities of Cincinnati, Cleve-
land, Detroit and Chicago, the results
of the elections for municipal officers
were Republican defeats, they are not
candidly and fairly put down as Dem
ocratic victories. In not n single case
was there any principle Of political
faith ut issue, nor was there one in
stance in which party lines were regu-
larly drawn and square fight had be-
tween the Republicans and Democrat
ic organizations. In Cincinanti, Cleve-
land and Detroit the success of the
Democratic candidates is ascribable to
local issues and the discomfort of the
voters with the Republicans in Office.
The issues, therefore, were purely To-
cal and personal, and neither general
nor political. In Chicago young Carter
Harrison was elected Mayor chiefly up
on the local prestige of his murdered
fathers name, combined with the
handicap Of a serious factional split in
the Republican organization.-Read
