THE MOSQUITO PEST.

DR.. l.. o. Howard, entomologist of the
department. of agriculture, spoke at
South Orange, N. j., last night on the
mosquito pest and how to stop it. He
said that few years ago every one had
ridiculed the idea that mosquitoes
carried malaria and yellow fever. Now
it is known that they carry elephantiasis.
They are constant source of expense,
yet they may be exterminated at COM
paratively small cost. The genus culex
lays 1000 eggs in mass, from which
hatch out wrigglers, which are aquatic
animals, but still are air-breathers. The
use of oil prevents them from coming to
the surface of water. The harmless
mosquitoes are hump-backed, while the
malarial mosquito has "Grecian bend"
and spotted wings. There is no reason
why mosquitoes cannot be gotten rid of
in South Orange, DR.. Howard said, as
the area is circumscribed and limited.
Malarial mosquitoes rarely fly more
than two yards at a time. The other
kind do not fly far, and when strong
wind springs up, they cling to trees
until the wind subsidies. Many breed
ing places were found in South Orange
by DR.. Howard, and they ought to be
covered with oil.

CLAW is COMMON SENSE"

By the time the next book of familiar
quotations is issued, the phrase "Law is
common sense' should have become
sufficiently popular to have place in it
and be credited to Benjamin B. Odell.
We don't know how often it may have
been said before, but it's applicability in
connection with the vetoes of Saturday
is such, that Gov. Odell is entitled to
claim originality for it, because he has
given it clear and useful meaning.
Some one may object that very big
proportion of the laws put on the statute
books every year are not common sense.
That is true enough. 1t is likewise true
that great many public offices are not
held as public trusts. But the phrase,
claw is common sense" which occurs
in the governors veto of the bridge bill,
lays down principle for the guidance
of legislatures, just as Gov. Cleveland's
phrase, "Public Office is public trust"
did for administrators. Both maxims
are concise and to the point, and not
easily forgotten, and the one no less
than the other would have been spoiled
by any attempt to elaborate it.-Buffalo

A HOPEFUL VIEW OF JOURNALISM.

The New York Evening Post of
Saturday contained what may be called
"an instructive symposium" on modern
journalism. 1t included long quota
ton from the recent speech by Col.
Mcclure of the Philadelphia Times on
retiring after fifty live years of service;
an editorial of comment, and letter of
protest on modern journalistic methods
as experienced by family of prominence,
living on the Hudson. Striking
a balance, one may say in word that,
despite the demoralizing tendency
towards sensationalism in certain jour
nails, with it's revolving invasion of the
home, the newspaper of today is dis
tinct advance on the newspaper of even
twenty-five years ago in tone and

THE WIND CAVE OF SOUTH DAKOTA.

Commissioner Hermann, of the gov
ernment land Office has instructed the
special agent of the interior to
reopen the Wind Cave in the Black
Hills of South Dakota to inspection by
the public. The cave belongs to the
federal government, and comprises about
1000 acres. No depredations will be
permitted on the premises, no specimens
will be allowed to be taken away by
tourists, and no fees will be permitted to
be charged or received.
Wind Cave is so called on account of
the strong rushing current of air
through the entrance. Several hundred
feet below the surface a level is reached
from which miles of arched avenues
radiate in every direction, embracing
succession of chambers. The ceilings
are pendant with gems of stalactite
formation, while around the edges and
in inches are specimens of peculiarly
wrought figures and forms, resembling
birds and animals.

quality, as we'll as in the amount and
character of it's news. AS regards SEN
sationalism, it may be added that more
and more papers are feeling their re-
sponsibility in this matter, and that the
distinction between, what is proper or
improper to print is being made by more
and more editors, despite the money
inducements to enter the competition of
sensationalism. - Waterbury Conn. }

GROVER CLEvELAND'S FIGHT.
The Preservation of the Country's Cur
rency Due to Him.

I'VE all WanC gOOu money, SAID Mr.
Mckinley in one of his southern
speeches, and he could say it without a
particle of fear that any sentiment for
free silver would stand in the way Of
the applause which his auditors gave
him. He is having an extremely good
time on his tour, and reaping the bene-
fit of all the good feeling and good
humor which go with time of general
prosperity, and 60 to the man who, as
head Of the government, is popularity
identified with that prosperity. AS to
firm establishment and preservation of
which was the exclusive issue in Mr..
McKinley's first successful campaign
and a leading issue in his second-the
opposition has now melted into thin air
1t is becoming somewhat difficult to re-
alize that it ever was formidable, so
rapidly do events move nowadays.
But people who have memories will
recall, when they read of Mr.. McKin-
ley's smooth words and his smiling
audiences, that there is another man
sitting in retirement at Princeton, and
forgotten by too many of the gaping
thousands who are greeting the presi-
dent-who "wanted good money" and
insisted that the country should have it,
at time when we did not "all want
good money" That was a time when
Mr.. Mckinley himself, not only did not
"want good money" but went out of
his way in public speech to attack
President Cleveland because he had
"dishonored" one of our American
metals. When Grover Cleveland was
fighting the battle of sound money
against tremendous odds and saved the
monetary standard of the nation, and
incurred the odium Of increasing the
public debt for the purpose, and stood,
like stone wall, against every attempt
to undermine the integrity of our cur
rency, Mr.. Mckinley was waiting to see
which way the wind would finally blow
strongest. He kept on waiting to the
very last moment, and only when it was
perfectly clear that the battle was bound
to be on the line of an uncompromising
attack ON the gold standard by the
democrats, and an ucompromising de-
fence of it by the republicans, did he let
it be known where he stood in the great
contest of 1896.
Grover Cleveland is the man to whom
the preservation of the country's cur
rency system is due. He was the man
who held the fort in the days of darkness
and difficulty and distress. 1t is to him,
more than to any other one man, or any
other fifty men, that we owe the con-
ditions which have made the present re-
vival of prosperity possible. The finan-
cial crash of 1898, coming at the very

RELIC HUNTERS.

The Denver Republican says that the Field Columbian museum may lose it's choicest collection of Indian pottery through seizure by the United States government on the ground that the col lection was unlawfully obtained. Other museums that have enriched their col lections through purchases in New Mexico and Arizona are said to be in fear of like seizures, while government agents are investigating recent pur- chases by private parties with view to establishing prior claims.
 Undoubtedly it would be hardship if such great educational institution as field Columbian museum suffered through government interference. and the authorities are reluctant to proceed in such case, but something must be done to stop the vandalism that is going on in the archaeological fields of the West. Interruptions collectors are de- stroying cliff ruins, owing to the reck- less digging for pottery and other inn plements of an early civilization. In New Mexico and Arizona the work of the relic hunters has been particularly disastrous, and it is high time that ex. amples were made of some of the of lenders.

THE cost of obtainieg patent to a mining claim is subject to considerable variation. Outside of the land, for which $5 an acre is paid for lode claims and S2.50 an acre for placer claims, the costs are: Deposits with the surveyor general for an official work on survey plats and stationery, s4O; deputy sur veyor, from $40 to $2O0, dependent on the time required to do the surveying in the field; notary fees for survey and and application for patent, BIO: S3O to s6O for newspaper publication of ap- plication; attorneys fees, not less than $50; register and receiver land office fees, $l5. The total, without the land, will be from $200 to S400.

PHOENIX seems very much interested in securing the Tonto Basin trade from Globe. They have forgotten that the greater part of the Tonto Basin trade comes to Flagstaff during the greater part of the year, but goes to Globe when impossible to come this way. A good road is of immense benefit to any town, but town on the main line of a railroad has more and better advan- tages to offer people in the reduced cost of freight.

CzoLGosz, the putrld emblem of eter- nal darkness, plead guilty, but after a trial of eight hours duration, covering two days, was declared guilty by the jury.

One chamber contains emblems of the first or entered apprentice degree; the sec Ond shows that it was devoted to the second or fellow craft degree. while the third chamber bears unmistakable evil dence of having been used for raising candidates to the sublime degree of a master Mason.

At Coleman's drug store, Twenty

The man who pulled the box says
he rung three times.
Chief Cline was interviewed, and
said: Three boxes were pulled almost
at one time, namely Ga, corner Wood
and Fortieth streets; 60, at jacob and
Forty fifth, and 613, at Thirty-eighth
and Jacob. | myself took the keys out
OF these boxes after l went down to
the fire Box 81 was rung in three
times. 1t is an old styled box, not
cutoff. and if pulled while other
boxes like it were being rung in would
make q bad mix-up. | think the man
who pulled 81 only pulled it part way
down the first time so that it seemed
to strike "a. and that was what sent
the Eighth ward engine to twenty
sixth and Wood streets. On the way
they met Niagara engine company,
which having the cut off and modern
apparatus. gave them box 81, as rung.
The Eighth ward company could have
had the fire out in five minutes after
the alarm if the box had been pulled
right
when a person opens box they
should listen to see if a little bell in the
box is ringing. If it is,they should
not wait until it stops, as another alarm
is going in If the bell is not ringing.
or as soon as 1t stops, pull the lever
clear down then leave it alone and the
alarm will be rung in correctly.
Unfortunately the system used in
Wheeling is not up to date by twenty
five years. This is particularly true of
the outer districts. There are few up
to-date mountaineering boxes purchas-
ed in the last few years. When one OF
these is pulled it cuts out all other boxes
until its alarm has rung in. The new
boxes were put in the business district,

districts Box "a is one Of the old ones,
as is Go and the other one rung. Hence
