Tm first Monthly it) September i . Labor flay, «o designated by law. The treasury gold fund is dwindling at a much more rapid rate than is the tariff talk in congress. The shrinkage in the democratic: party is on an equality with the shrinkage of their promised .fl 2T) wheat and the actual price today of 4J cents.
Air Eli a year of blutiing today’s dispatches state that Corbett and Jackson will never meet in the ring. The event is taking on something of a color like the late lamented foot-race in (Jreoncnstle.
In a few more months Mr. Cleveland will be sure of a republican congress to help him out of his trouble. The aid that the republican congress gave the present pres ident in his first term stands out glaringly these days when such a necessity is absent. On the wheat question the ClloheDemocnit nays: The farmers who helped lo elect Cleveland with the understanding that they were to re ceive •tl a bushel for their wheat a e now selling it for less than half that price, and making up the difference by swearing that they will never again vote a democratic ticket. Hereafter when an anarchist in France commits murder or throws a bomb he will lie placed in a dungeon, and be known only by n num-
ber. No vislior can see him, and his trial by judges and execution must not be reported. He will not be allowed to pose and play the hero and be celebrated in street literature and pictures. This is rigiit. It the glory is taken away from the assassins they will cease throwing bombs. Some men want to be famous even if for but a few weeks, anti they will stop at nothing to gain notoriety. The Bainbridge fair managers had a great opportunity this year to make Friday a good day, but by permitting the exhibitors to remove their stock they greatly disgusted many people who were led to believe they could see the fair in its entirety by waiting for Friday. By allowing the removal of exhibits on Friday by noon, the fair is limited to one big day—Thursday, and the public will wait for that day. There should be two big days, and Friday should be one of them. An exchange thus says: The chief function of a daily journal is to print the news. The newspaper is not published as a moral agent, though incidentally it may accomplish much good. In its editorial columns it properly advocates what its editor may believe to be for the public welfare, but in its news columns it is bound to print the Intel ligenec of the day, regardless of any one’s opinion. There is one place where talk isn’t cheap, and that is in the United States. That talk is oaus ing this country great expense. The IHfferciM'e.

“Did you ever know just why the new fad of wearing white pants never became popular among the young men in Greeneastle?” said a dude the other da}*. “It is this way: One of our set tried it. He got an immaculate pair, turned them up at the bottoms and at the most fashionable hour walked dow n the most, fashionable street in tlie city. Of course he passed innumerable pretty girls, for you know Greeneastle is full of them. They all made remarks, just as girls will. One young lady, a little bolder than the rest, asked why he did not have lace on them. This remark was overheard by the dude and h * im mediately went home and shed the pants never again to appear in white. That’s the reason the white trousers campaign failed in Green-
eastle.”

“Talk about your whiskey.” said a disgusted fisherman. “I struck a crowd from Hendricks, our prohibi tion county to the east, that was camping out on Walnut creek last week and they had some which they recommend as a sure antidote for snake bite. 1 pulled the cork from their jug and at once heard a tremendous rustling of the bushes, and found shortly afterwards that the noise resulted from the snakes running and tearing away from that locality. That whiskey, sir. was strong enough to embalm a

Some wag wrote on the Christian church young ladies’ black board in front of the postoftice this morning the following inscription : “Chicken Pie Exchange; Buy a ‘stack' of chips; edge up and buy a stack of Saratoga chips before you ‘pass’ bv or cull on your best girl. Be sure you cash out; Don’t run any bluff here.” It seems from tlie above that the artist evidently has a knowledge ot the great American game of “draw.”

bugs were secured and placed in breed ing cages. Tlie next step was to obtain a supply of dead bugs that had lieen kill-
ed Ity a disease bearing the name of I TrainsS andacarry l ; olimHi| , 'i'!iiai'p, Sporotrichmn globulifernm. This tlis- I 'lUra'se i'uhI Nimhv'iTiv r ""
ease was spread among the healthy bugs, and the latter were sent all over the state to spread the disease in the
'I’he followin' 1 fields as it was spread in tlie breeding
cages. Tlie manner of proceeding is
about as follows:
The infected hugs come from a station in a tin box. Tlie farmer then takes a shallow wooden box, places in it green wheat or coni and sprinkles in the infected bugs, alive or dead. Ho thou places with them a pint or so of healthy bugs and covers all up for a day or so. Then half these “starters” are to la: scattered over tlie field where the bugs are thickest, another dose put in the box and so on through the season. At the end of tlie season some of the bugs are put aside in a tin box to be kept till another season. This, in brief, is the latest method of fighting the chinch bug on large farms. Last season tlie station distributed the. hugs to DI4 different farmers. Out of 1)1 who gave the matter anything of atrial, <il reported
more or less success.
Note* of Local Interest. The continued dry weather during the hay growing season resulted in a comparative failure of tlie hay crop in many sections of tlie west. Continental Europe is again suffering from a forage famine, and this year tlie west, at least in this country, will he nimble to go to the relief of tiie feeders
there.
It is reported that the Texas red oat is a sure cropper under irrigation. The director of tlie Iowa weather service lias no confidence in the art of rain- ; making. Professor Otto Lugger, stato entomologist, in response to a call from the farmers of Minnesota, has established an infection box to propagate the chinch bug disease. Tlie field bean in some of its varieties is worthy of attention by every farmer. In many sections the fall seeding of timothy will prove a success if the conditions are favorable. Generally speaking, straw is worth more on the farm than it is to sell. Tlie yield of wheat in the west, it is reported, promises to ho above the av-
erage.
Wine will soon be transported in France in great railway tanks like petroleum in America. Motion KxGiirHioiig. To Quincy, Did., account old settlers’ picnic Aug. 16. Tickets on sale Aug. 15 and 16.
