INSULAR GOVERNMENT.
Cabinet Discusses the New Hawaiian
and Porto II lean Acts

and Porto Rican Acts.
Washington, May 5.-At the cabinet
meeting considerable time was consumed
in discussing the new Hawaiian and Porto
Rican acts. Although the treaty under
which Hawaii WAS annexed to the Unit
ed States provided that the United States
should assume the debt of the islands,
amounting to about S4,000.0O0, there was
some doubt as to the right of Secretary
Gage, under the Hawaiian act, to pay off
the debt. and it is probable that bill
VIII be introduced in congress with Il
view to setting the matter right.
Doubt also was expressed as to the
right or the postmaster general to on
tend the postal laws to the islands under
the terms of the act. and remedial egisla-
tion may be asked in this case
The appointments that are to be made
in Hawaii and Porto Rico were discuss
ed. and it is likely that several nomna-
lions will be sent to the senate very
soon.

THE SENSATIONAL THEATRE

The two great plaques which threaten
American society today are the sensation
al pHess and the sensational theatre
These institutions are conducted upon
the same principle, or lack Of principle,
and upon the same general lines. The
theory upon which they act is that the
great bulk of the public, the mass from
which they draw the greater part of their
revenue, is not only incapable of ap-
preciating what is intellectual, instruc-
tive, wholesome or inspiring in the print
ed page or in the drama, but is addicted
naturally to what is morbid, abnormal,
audacious, startling, or unclean, and will
pay handsomely for the qualification of
deprayed appetite. In other words,
the scheme is to make money by pander-
ing to vice, at the cost of the wholesale
decentralization of the youth who are to
be the backbone of the American nation
of the future.
The policy is not only diabolical but
fatuous. That it has proved temporarily
successful cannot be disputed. Journals
which outrage truth, common sense, and
decency still circulate by the million,
and fortunes have been made by the vii
famous exploitation of wholly worthless
and abominable plays. But evils of this
kind, in the long erun, work their own
remedy. There is not, perhaps, any
reason for expecting a sudden or speedy
revival Of public morality, but, sooner or
LATER dishes reeking OF one particular
spice pail upon the palate, and in most
cases satiatiOn is followed by disgust.
The sensational newspaper, which is per-
mltted to publish the most revolving de-
tails OF the police courts, can avail itself
OF wider variety OF horror and impurity
than the theatre, which, luckily, cannot,
for obvious reasons, exceed certain limits,
and is thus condemned to a damnable
iteration which must, in time, become
tlresOn9. These limits have been reached,
or, at all events, very nearly reached, and
already there are indications that mere
vulgarity, which is no longer novelty,
Is losing It's power to attract the crowd.
In ninety nine cases out of a hundred,
the motive that fills the benches at a
HotoriOusly coarse play is curiosity, and
when this has once been satisfied, or dis
appointed, as it is apt to be. it ceases to
exist and cannOJ easily be revived. For
this reason, an epidemic of stage indie
cancy, such as that with which we have
recently been afflicted, is seldom OF long
duration. Moreover, the theatres respon-
sible for it will not readily rid themselves
of the contamination. When they revert
to the cleaner drama, they VIII find that
they have fallen lower in the scale of re-
spectability and have aIienated their
former patrons without securing others
to fill their places Century.

brushers closely lest the lice crawl back to
the plants When the soil is damp or
when the vines are too large the harrow
ing is impracticable In that case, the
same end may be accomplished by draw
ing shallow pan between the rows, and
brushing the lice into it. These pans
may be made of cheap galvanized iron
and should be about the width Of the
row, about six feet long and three or
four inches deep. Each should be filled
to the depth Of abou5 three-quarters of
an inch with water and kerosene. The
lice are quickly killed upon contact with
the kerosene and there is no chance of
their crawling back to the plants, so that
this method is much more satisfactory
than following the brushes by harroWs
Either procedure is cheap, simple and
effective, if diligently pursued
All growers are urged to make a care
full examination OF their medium and
late peas and if the terminals are found
to contain large clusters of lice, to at once
commence brushing the vines, and con-
tinue the brushing every four or five or
at most six days. until the crop is har-
vested. In the case of peas planted
broadcast, there is no remedy.

While there is evidently a strong senti-

THE DESTRUCTIVE GREEN PEA
LOUISE.

The destructive green pea louise (Nec-
tarophora destructor) was abundant in
Maine in 1899, doing much damage to
garden and field peas. The pest has
been already reported to the station by a
number of correspondents this season.
In many part of the more Southern
states, particularly Maryland, it has
ruined the crop. The lice seem to be
worse upon peas in close drills or sown
broadcast than upon peas in rows. The
following directions for treatment are
taken with minor changes from a press
bulletin of the Delaware Experiment Sta
tion:
Several kinds of spraying mixtures
have been tried in Delaware and Mary
land, but none have been sufficiently sat-
lsfactOry to warrant their recommends
ton. AS yet no successful apparatus has
been constructed to mechanically collect
or destroy the pea lice. Growers in
Maryland and Delaware are agreed that
the only practical means of destroying
the lice yet devised is that Of brushing,
which is practiced as follows:
Boys or men are provided with small
pine branches with which they brush the
vines, thus readily knocking the larger
part of the lice between the rows. They
are closely followed by a cultiyatOr or
harrow, which throws many lice under
the earth, others are so thoroughly dust
ed as to close their breathing pores and
thus kill them, while others are literally
roasted alive by contact with the hot
earth. The brushing and cutiVating
should be done late in the forenoon and
afternoon, when the soil is dry and hot
