EDITORIAL.
WE ARE UNHAPPY.

THE CONGRESSIONAL pot is
simmering in the Eighth Dis
trict, with boiling temperature in
sight. Carbon has two favorite
sons anxious for the burden. L. H.
Barber, who has been in the soup
and knows how it feels, and John
e. Lauer, who wants to try his hand
at law making. Northampton is
credited with j. Davis Brodhead
and Hon. Howard Mutchler as aspir-
ants. Monroe apparently will have
but one candidate, DIR. Jos. H .Shull,
while Pike is internally, and possibly
internally rent between Col. Lewis
and ex-Congressman j. j. Hart. The
world knows what the Col. will do,
if he gets there, for has he not said
80 in his cardP We almost sympa-
thize witt those who will not be of
his opinion, when he opens and
pours out the vials of his righteous
indignation on their devoted heads.
We warn Mr.. Mckinley not to run
counter to the Colonel's views, for
if he does, he certainly will have, if
not Congress, at least a mess on
his hands. OF course he has heard
of our Joseph, for did not his name
and fame, if not his voice, go out
among the Egyptians like that of
Joseph of old whose dress suit was
a spotted coat? And did he not have
the same kind of dream when gath
ering in the sheaves, and did not
the other sheaves stand around and
make obeisance to his sheaf2 Yes,
verify, all these things are writ
large, for with his staff of promises
we're not some of the obedient and
faithful sheaves threshed to his
hearts content? AS we mediate
in the cleaning our feelings go out
unreservedly and impartially toward
both of Pixies Democratic aspirants
so that we almost fancy we could be
happy were the other dear charmeE

IMPORTED PESTS.

Massachusetts has spent over two
million dollars to exterminate the
gypsy moth, and it is estimated that
over one hundred thousand dollars
year will be necessary to contine
the moths to the district where they
now are. A few were imported
some years ago by an entomologist
living near Boston, and several es-
capped.
The rabbits in Australia have
cost millions to keep in check, and
with all the efforts made that is
about all that can be done.
Several Florida rivers have lately
become choked by the rapid growth
of kind of hyacinth imported a
few years ago.
The black scale threatened the
fruit industry of California until a
beetle which preyed on the insects
was introduced.
These instances show the care
necessary in importing insects in a
country where nature has made no
provision by counter means to hold
the pests in check.

1t says Agricultural reports for
the past fiscal year reached a total
of nearly 900 millions of dollars and
they exceeded imports by more than
600 millions of dollars. The net i'm
port of gold was over one hundred
millions of dollars and the increase
in national bank resources was up
ward of 400 millions of which three
fourths was gain in individual de-
posits. The two wheat crops of '96
and '97 have returned the farmers
nearly twice as much as the crops of
'94 and '95, gain of four hundred
millions.

How The Bonds Wore Distributed.

How The Bonds We're Distributed.
The total amount of the subscrip-
tions to the war bonds was 1885,
900, 900, and would doubtless have
been twice as large had not the GER
tainty that they would not get any
prevented many large financial con-
Germs from Offering to take big
blocks of the bonds. The meaning
of this offer of our own citizens to
loan the government one billion,
three hundred and sixty five million
dollars, at per cent. interest, will
be more fully appreciated in Europe
than among ourselves-we required
no such proof of the patriotism of
our people. President Mckinley is
much pleased to know that the en-
tire issue of bonds will go to indi-
viduals, not one of whom get more
than IS, 900, and that almost half of
the 500, 900, 900 will go out in lots
of $500 or less. 1t is popular loan
sure enough.
