known that neither the president nor
any eminent republican leader in either
house has favored a reduction of repre-
sentation from the South, while many
of the most influential papers of the
country have strongly opposed it.
The prevailing sentiment among con.
servatives. at any rate, is very well
expressed by the Baltimore American in
saying: "This is not the time to pass
upon this question of Southern repre-.
sentation. Causes are pending in the
federal courts testing the legality of
negro disfranchisement, and when they
shall have been determined it will be
time enough to think about retaliation
Now the sections dwell together in
amity, and the relationship should not
be disturbed So far as the matter of
general reapportionment is concerned,
we believe it may best be settled by
raising the basis so as to keep the house
down to it's present number, and without
changing the numerical representation
now enjoyed by the several states.''
The Conservative, 1900-12-27

In the states not included in the tables
there will be no change from the present
number of representatives. Under the
present apportionment what are known
as "Southern States have 142 votes in
the electoral college, while the remain
ing states have 305. Under the Crum-
packer bill the South would have but
1874 electoral votes, against 32l in the
North and West.
The issue is perplexing one. The
language of the constitution apparently
leaves no other course to be pursued
than that of making the apportionment
upon the principle of the Crumpacker
bill. and yet many of the foremost
authorities hold a different view. 1t is

THE CRUMPACKER BILL.

A bill has been already introduced by
Crumpacker of Indiana which has for
it's plain purpose the limitation of the
number of representatives from the
South in accordance with the second sec
the constitution. The bill provides for
increasing the membership of the House
from 357 to 365, so that under it's terms
the increase or decrease in members of
different States would be as follows:

MINUTE GUNS OF A CENTURY.

When, on the morning of Jan. 1st,
1901, the proud Ship of State, Columbia,
hoisted her anchor and bore away into
the unknown, untried waters of the new
century, she left behind her a harbor of
peace harbor teeming with the re.
awakened life of the nation. She had
but just come safely through the dark,
stormtossed seas of the Revolution and

starry folds of her banner in the morn.
ing breeze.
The rosy glow of the budding day
gives no warning of the raging pillows
beyond the harbor no warning of the
squalls about to swoop down upon her;
no warning of the deadly typhoon that.
ere she again reaches harbor, will be
shrieking about her; nor the placid
waters, rejecting on their clear surface
the ships goodly proportions, inkling of
the maelstrom soon to seek to draw her
within it's awful embrace.
But the brave officers who direct her
course and the brave seamen who man
her, are not to be deceived by these
signs Well they know that there may
be deadly reefs in their pathway, and,
from horizon to horizon, the sea is
scanned by watchful eyes.
And so, ere many leagues are passed,
The Conservative, 1900-12-27

the lookout discerns the cloud "no big
ger than mans hand" the good cap
tain notes the falling barometer, all
hands are piped on deck and soon, all is
ship shape, and the good Ship of State
passes, at length, safely through her
first storm-the war of 1912.
Then, when her carpenters have re.
paired the broken helm and the damaged
hulk, the good ship proceeds on Ler way
joyously, for many leagues more-and
yet Was that not distant rumble Of
thunder! Or is it the roar of breakers?
The helmsman turns the wheel and
steers the vessel farther out to sea, away
from the long line of foam that betokens
the hidden reef and the danger is
averted for the time being.
Then a source of danger rears itself in
the distant southwest. A short, sharp
squall rushes suddenly upon the vessel,
but, by the bravery of her crew, the
good ship weathers the gale and comes
again into the sunshine-the Mexican
war is passed.
The noontide of the century passes.
But again the hoarse roar of breakers
The ship is drifting toward the rocky
shore-drifting drifting to certain de-
struction and no hand upon the helm
Alloy Men of the Columbia, ahoy!
Breakers ahead! God above, what
means this? Mutiny9 Will the seamen
in their mad strife, let the ship go to
her doom?
But tall form strides forth from the
struggling mass, his hand grips firmly
the wheel of destiny, his noble brow is
lifted heavenward, his eyes meet un.
flinchingly the glare of hatred and scorn,
his grand voice rings above the din of
battle, above the roar of breakers:
"Stand by to save the ship''
And thus he remains through the
early hours of the century's afternoon,
seeking to save the vessel he loves, while
the battle RACES fiercely about him. But
his followers are victorious; the good
ship. though nearly rent in twain, her
masts riven in splinters, her sails torn in
shreds, her deck covered with the dead
and dying, turns slowly about and again
struggles seaward. And the afternoon
glare of the century's sun falls direct
upon the ships banner, floating at half
mast, and alights pityingly upon the
cold, upturned face of the valiant helms

THE GREER PEA LOUISE.
4 New Menace to an Important Can
ming Crop-How to Fight 1t.

a New Menace to an Important Can
ming Crop-How to Fight II.
Most remarkable Of all the injurious
occurrences Of insects on edible legu-
minous crops during the year 1899 was
that of the green pea louse, Nectaro-
phora destructor, which has overrun
and laid waste fields Of peas from No
va Scotia and Canada to Virginia and
Maryland. 1t was reported last year
simultaneously from Virginia and
Maryland. 1t has been injurious In
many instances the present season and
has been reported as q real menace to
the pea canning industry.
This plant louse is one of unusual
size among those found infesting gar
den plants. The general color of both
the winged and apterous forms Is uni
form pea green the same color as the
Insects favorite food plant The eyes
are prominent and reddish brown In
color. The antennR are lighter than
the body and tubercles prominent,
Joints darker than rest of segments,
seventh joint quite filiform and rus
cous. The legs are long and conspicu-
Gus.
Mr.. +. III. Chittenden states that this
louise or a related species was observed
during November and December at
Washington feeding upon different spe-
cies Of vetches, and large colonies were
ut work on pleasant sunny days In
January. Many winged individuals
| occurred at this time, and living speci-
mems were In fact to be found all WIN
| ter 1t is thought by some investiga-
tors that this pest was originally har-
| bored by crimson clover and that 1t Is
| on this or some other variety of clover
| that the insect passes that part OF the
| year when there are no pea vines.
| Among natural enemies which 1t Is
| hoped may aid substantially In keeping
| down the green pea louse are the syr-
phus fly and ladybird beetle. Kerosene
| emulsion, the standard remedy for
| plant lice, has been advised for this va
| riety. 1t is also suggested that benefit
might follow rotation Of crops. 1t Is
| considered a matter of importance that
| preferred alternative host plants, II
such there are, be discovered 30 that
the insects may be killed upon these
after their departure from the old pea
vines. In southern districts where
peas are largely grown as field crops
for canneries 1t is the practice to send
boys along the rows to brush the lice
of the vines down to the ground with
small pine branches. A cultfvator Is
then run, following the boys, through
the rows TO cover and thus kill the lice
or they may be knocked Off into pans
containing kerosene mixture, which de-
stroys them.

The Uses For Corn.

The big acreage under corn does not
necessarily mean low prices on the
farm So healthy has been the live
stock industry the past year that the
enormous crop OF 1899 has been easily
handled, and the opening of summer
finds farm reserves anything but un-
manageable. Aside from the very
large proportion of the corn crop con-
sumed in the counties where grown,
our export trade Is constantly enlarg-
ing. dnd so with newh uses for corn

How n Raven Tormented and Pun
fshed IN Greedy Pug Dog.
The greediest and most conceited pug
that ever lived, according to his owner,
was Suto. The sight of anything eat
ing Except himselr was agony to him.
A large raven was kept in cage In
the garden of Suto's owner-a raven
gifted with sardonic cunning and love
Of mischief. The pug was the butt or
his malicious humor.
Daily at 3 o'clock the raven was
given n lump Of steak, and Suto would
always be lowering about ut the time
he hovered near everything eatable.
| The raven knew his shameful greedi-
ness and made fine sport OF 1t. At first
Suto, though In torments Of giuttony,
would feIgn Indifference. The raven
would put the stake close against the
