How can the Republicans convince the laboring men of the United
States that this is a reign of prosperity, wheu there are so many thousands
of laboring men striking for relief from the despotic hand of the trusts,
which have been created and developed by laws made by Republican
administrations. '

The Watonga papers, especially the Herald, assault the character of
Mr. George C. Boland, on account of his decisions as umpire in the .Wa-
tonga Geary base ball game. The slanderous article is entirely untrue, and
the language used wholly unbecoming a good newspaper. Mr, Boland is
known to he nonest, reliable and above all "skin games,” and is respected
and trusted by every citizen in Geary, and all his acquaintances. As an
umpire he was fair, and in all games that he has umpired this season the
teams playing against Geary have spoken highly of his fair treatment. In
the Watonga game, if lie made mistakes, and every one makes mistakes,
they were in favor of the visitors. If we are rightly informed, and we be-
lieve we are, neither of the Watonga papers had a representative on the
ground, arid must have received their information sacond-handed and from
prejudiced spectators. There is not money enough in Watonga to hire
George Boland to “steal a game,” nor did he think of such a thing when
umpiring the game mentioned. The Herald undoubtedly knows why the
game was not finished, and if uot. should have taken the trouble to get
the facts in the case before it hurled insulting and abusive language at a
good citizen.

8t. LouiB, Mo., July 10, 1904.—Hon. Alton B. Parker, Esopus, N. Y.
Dear 81r:—Safety for the good ship of state is of the first importance. At
a time when a material crisis is pending, whem democratic Institutions are
in peril, when geart evils should be eradicated, when important political
questions must be decided, it is fortunate that the Democratic party has
given to tiie great council of representative men have every confidence, and
we have the best of reasons for believing that that confidence will be cun-
firmed by the intelligent, patriotic people of the country.
We all do know tnat the instincts and training of the judge are to hold
in sacred regard the constitution and the faithful Interpretation and execu-
tion of laws. Hence we believe that under yonr administration its laws
will l>e administered with l.delity and integrity. I believe you will be
elected and thereby have an opportunity of rendering our country a ser-
vice uf immeasurable value that will redound to the honor of the Demo-
cratic party and the glory of tbe republic.'
1 have the honor to remain, very truly yours,

! hoppers they are helpless. The
plague arrives, and as il by magic
the crops are swept from the face of
the earth.
In the year 1776 the Hassian troops
engaged by the British as auxiliaries,
landed on Long Island. They brought
straw with them for their horses, and
in it were eggs of the insect which
has since become known in the coun-
try as the Hessian fly. Three years
later the pest began to make itself
troublesome in the neighborhood of
the landing place, and since then
it has spread westward.
Barring the chinch bug, it is the
worst enemy of the wheat, making
its first appearance as a tiny maggot
at the base of the young plant and
sucking its juices. Eventually the
plant is weakened and destroyed,
and the maggot is transformed into a
a dark colored gnat, closely resem-
bling a small mosquito.
The army worm, one of the most
dreaded of the insect foes of the farm-
er, is a naked, striped caterpillar an
inch and a quarter long. In May and
June it makes its appearance in im
mense numbers, devouring wheat
oats and other grains and grasses.
It climbs up the seed stalk and euts
off the head. With a favorable suc-
cession of seasons it multiplies in
! geometrical ratio, and at last be-
comes so numerous as to necessitate
migration in search of food. Then
the army worms travel and feed day
and night, inflicting enormous dam-
ages. Itisfrom their mode of march-
ing in armies at such limes that their
name is derived.
