That kind of oratory dealt In exclusively
by David Dennett Hill of Wolfort's Roost,
Now Vork state. Is not likely to lie on tup
at the forthcoming picnic of the Jacksonlan
club. If tho Invltiitton to speak had gone
to Mr. Hill In the shape the committee of
the Jacksonlans first Intended It to go, It
Is not altogether Improbable (hat the New
Yorker would have consented to patronise
the late Mr. Pullman's estate and address
the fuslonlsts at Syndicate park on Septem
ber 7. Hut as the sage of Wolfort's Roost
has an englo eye for dewspaper storls
pertaining to political affairs and will
probably como honestly by the Information
that William J. Hryan prefers to do a
single turn In oratory at Syndicate park
on September 7. he Is likely to turn down
tho invitation that President W. 0. Gilbert
of the Jacksonlans will extend to him In
person.
Tho original plan of the Jncksonlan com
mittee was to Invite Hryan first and then
tavo him address nnd subscribe to tho in
citation to Hill. This plan, argued the
simple Jaeksonlnns, had In It the personal
pull of a two-times presidential cundldato
and It would certainly coax tho wily New
Yorker Into Nebraska for a second time.
Hut the plan run up against a very
stubborn veto before It had worked half Its
course. Hryan was Invited and he ac
cepted. Then Hryan was asked to Invite
Hill. Then came the tlnlsh of a pot plan.
It seems that Mr. Hryan recalled times
sgone when n David II. Hill had remalncl
eloquently silent, despite tho fact that
Invitation after Invitation for h'.m to ilia
rourso had gone to him. Ho he politely
Informed th Jncksonlan committee, so It
Is whispered, that all the Invitations to
D. It. Hill that he ever bad about his
person were worn out In or about tho ear
of 1S90. Ilo had none left In stork.
Of course Mr. Hryan hud no objection to
sharing Syndicate park honors with Mr.
Hill, but If an Invitation miift be sent to
Mr. Hill It would have to Isiue from another
source.
And all of this Is said to show the rea
son whv William 0. Ollbert of Omaha,
prosid-nt. of the Jncksonlan club, will
within n few days pay a personal visit
to Wolfort's ltoost.
Something else In the lino of Invitation
work Is doing among the Jacksonlnns. They
have Just determined to Invite their
friends of the Douglaa County Democracy
nut Into the backynrd to settle n little
dispute Said an ofllcer of the Jackson
lans yesterdav;
"Wo have, determined to settle, once and
for nil, any dispute there may be as to
tho relative strength of the two demo
cratic orcnnlzatlons In this county. For
n long time tna Douglas county boys hive
Veen blowing about their power to do this
nnd to do that, but they have never done
anything without our nld and consent.
Just because wo have hcon generous enough
to allow thejn to name a candidate or two
nnd to take about half of the county com
mittee they have swelled up to propor
tions altogether unbecoming to reality.
Their Importanco Is chlelly In their wind.
"Now, at tho coming prlmnrles, wo are
going fb'e'h'rry eight wards out of the nine
In Omaha and then with our people from
South Omaha nnd tho country we are going
to take back all that wo ever gave to the
Douglas County Democracy. This will tnkc
tho wind out of their sails nhd bring them
to tho realizing boiiso that they h.ivcn't
enough power to nomlnato n constable."
There Is no particular fight between the
two organizations as to candidates this
fall, but the contest at the primaries will
bo for control of the county committee,
tipon which tho representation Is now
about equal.
There may be fusion In Douglas county
this fall, but to the unsophisticated It will
not have tho color of fusion. The coalition
Is already set, unless all the preiont can
aidates for nomination on tho democratic
county ticket nro dumped. Tho rops rnv
been wily. Knowing that they cannot rely
on democrats helping to elect one of their
numbers on a fusion ticket nnd that their
befit chance, nt the public crib Is through
tho darker door, tho populists have "seen"
all of the promlnont democratic candidates
and exacted from them sundry nnd divers
promises of appointive positions In tils
event of success nt the polls.
.The scheme is for tho democrats to tnke
nil the places on the ticket nnd for the
populists to adjourn their convention with
out having mndo nominations. Then, If any
of tho democratic candidates nro elected, the
populists will cash in tho promises,
This Is n plan calculated to hold Rimer
Thomas, Dnwrle Oulnby, Jim Jones and
other populists In their present Jobs nt th
courthouse and to make places for moro of
the third party If n portion of tho demo
cratic ticket is elected.
Those democrats who have hud tholr op
tics on courthouse pntronago for some years
will not be likely to fall In with this ar
rangement to deliver tho Job over to tho
populists with any decree of avidity.
Tho latest candidate for a place on tho
democratic county ticket Is Richard S.
Horton, who will measure up with John
11 Oror-sman for the nomination for county
Judge. Horton's friends figure that ho will
beat Orossmnn out If Frank Chrlsman
lands the nomination for register or clork.
They argue that the Hermans can ask no
moro than ElHisser and Chrlsman nnd that
lets out Grossman.
Hsj-ry Deuel's friends are still endeavor
ing to quince Chrlsman that he ought to
mn tPr"COT!Trty clerk nnd not for register
of deeds, but ns Chrlsman nt one time
served ns register In n county over In Iowa
ho considers himself peculiarly adapted to
that olllce nnd refuses to bo switched off
to another Hack.
Andy Gallagher. Jury clerk In Frank
llroadwell's office, is about the eighth
South Omaha democrat to nppoar against
Tom Hoctor for the nomination for county
commissioner.

Tribute to
(Copyright, 1W1, by Dr, L. O. Howard)
While It Is true that tho honey boo and
the silk worm of commerce aro tho basis
of great Industres, nnd while It Is true that
many Insects, through their functions as
scavengers, ns cross-fertilizers of plants,
and ns parasites of destructive species, do
an enormous amount of good In the economy
of life, Judging from tho standpoint of hu-
man beings, tho actual loss brought about
by the work of other Insects, mainly to tho
farmer, the fruit grower nnd the stock
rnlser, goes far toward offsetting tho bene
fits derived from Insects, it it does not, in
fact, completely overbalance them. Many
estimates have been mndo of the losses pro
duced by Insects In their destruction of
certain crops. These losses, when ex
pressed In dollars and cents, arc more or
Icsh misleading, because, for example, In
a year when tho chlnchbug wipes out a
com crop or a wheat crop In restricted
portions of tho country tho price of wheat
or corn Is sure to go up, which restores the
money vnluu of the crop as a whole. Never
theless, this Increased price boars upon the
entire country and there Is thUB a dis
tinct nnd enormous economic loss through
the work of the Insects. According to tho
calculations of conservative Investigators
tho amount of destruction caused by the
Jnws of the various species of Insects, most
of which aro so Btnall that the average man
would hardly note their existence, Is more
than $300,000,000 a year. In othor terms,
If for three years tho destructive In
sects would Institute n fast tho amount
saved In grain, fruit, cereals, timber, sun
dry crops and domestic animals would pay
tho national debt.
A few years ago one farmer in the south
lost $8,000 In n single season through the
damage done to hla extensive strawberry
crop by the tatnlshcd plant bug. In 1SS0
one farmer In Illinois lost $10,000 through
tho ravages of the army worm. In Mary
land In the past two or tlireo years nn orch
ard grower has lost n peach orchard vnlued
at $25,000 through the detructlvenes of
the San Jose scale. The destructive Insect
known na the ox-bot, or ox-wnrblc, damtigss
cattle around Lexington, Ky., to an amount
estimated nt $12, r00 annually. In 135 the
osier willow industry In a restricted
portion of tho stato of New York
suffered a lors estimated nt $45,000
from damage done by the cottonwcod
leaf bsctle. The Erlo grape, belt In Penn
sylvania In 1695 suffered a lois amounting
to $50,000 from tho ravagts of the roio
cnater. In lisSo the Hessian lly caused to
two countusi in tne state of New York a
loss amounting to $100,000. In 1SS0 the
cranberry crop In three towns on Capo Cod
suffered a loss of $100,000 from the wo-lt of
the army worm. In 1SS5 and 18S6 cutworms
caused an amount nf damage to tho enlou
crop In Orange county, New York, estimated
al $600,000 each year. In 1874 the buffalo enat
kllled stock In one county in Tennessee
valued at $500,000.

from this samo Insect amounts to over
$1,000,000. In 1890 the hop Industry In tho
states of Washington and Oregon ls said
to have suffered a loss of $305,000 from tho
work of the hop plant louse. Now that
the stato of Massachusetts has discontinued
Its extermlnntlvo work against the gypsy
-moth, the committee which had tho work
charge estimates an annual loss to that
8tato ot $1,000,000, after few years In-
crease. Tho stato of Illinois until quite
recently suffered nn nnnual loss of $2,375,
000, or one-hnlf tho valuo of tho average
apple crop, through the work of tho codling
moth. Nebraska, In 1S92, suffered a loss
of $2,000,000 In tho same way. New York
Is said to nutter an annual loss of $3,000,000
from tho same Insoct, of which $2,500,000
Is In apples nnd $500,000 In pears. As far
back as 1S5I tho wheat crop of the state of
New York was damaged to the extent of
$15,000,000 by tho wheat midge. Ohio In
tho same year lost $15,000,000 from the
same cause nnd Canada In 1857 from tho
same Insect lost $S.0U0.000. In 1S99 tho
green pea louse In Maryland ate $3,000,000
worth of green peas being raised for can
ning factories, nnd in U'OO increased Its
appetite to $4,000,000 worth, In 1850 the
chlnchbug damaged the grain crops of Illi
nois to the amount of $4,000,000. In 1S74
tho same Insect Impoverished tho wheat
growers of Missouri to tho extent of $19,
000.000, hut in the meantime Illinois had
sustained a much larger loss In the year
1884, when the chlnchbug was estimated
by Walsh to have destroyed $73,000,000
worth of corn and wheat. In Ohio, where
this Insect has flourished for years, Prof.
Wobster estlmntes that from 1850 to 1898
tho farmers have lost through the work of
this Insect $330,000,000, or an averago an
nual loss from this single species of about
$7,000,000. In tho year 1900 the stato of
Ohio Is estimated to havo lost $16,800,000
through damage to Its wheat crop by the
'
Hessian fly.
The chlnchbug, as Just shpwn, which Is
so small ns to be hardly discernible to tho
naked eyo, is ono of our most destructive
Insects. Tho loss from its ravages In 1S71
equaled $30,000,000; In 1871 upward of $100,

Insects nt from $200,000,000 to $300,000,000.
Illlcy, the famous entomologist, In 1S90 estl-
mated It to bo $300,000,000. Dr. James
Fletcher in ISM estimated It nt one-tenth
of our total agricultural products, or say
$3,10,000,000. K. Dwight Sanderson In 1809,
after carefully reviewing tho whole ques-
tlon, approximately accepted Dr. Fletcher's
estimate and tabulated tho damage by
crops as follows:

Of tho thirteen species of Insects men
tioned as responsible for by far tho greater
part of thu damage done annually, or which
has been dono In past years In tho United
States, It is Interesting and Important to
note that eight and possibly nlno are In
troduced species. Only four are certainly
native. Our hot Hy (hypoderma llnenta)
nnd our buffalo gnat probably fed for cen
turies on the American bison, Just as the
armyworn nnd the chlnchbug have always
fed on our wild grasses, but tho Hessian lly,
tho fly weevil (or angoumols grain moth, as
It Is sometimes called), the codling moth,
tho wheat midge, the hop plant louse nnd
tho gypsy moth aro all importations from
Europe, most of them old-time Introduc
tions established In our territory early In
tho century or befoie, while the San Jose
scale camo to us from Asiatic regions and
the cottonworm from the West Indies. The
origin of the penlouse Is still problematical.
It Is safe, therefore, to say that the

DEADWOOD, S. D Aug. IS. (Special.)
The f.imouj Now York mica mine, owned
by C. A. Dow of Sioux City, has been pur
chased for cash by D. H. Sullivan of Chi
cago for a reported consideration of $50.- '
000. The mine Is located eight miles west I
of Cu.v.cr and it Is considered to bo one I
cf the greatest mica mines In the world.
The ledge of mlcn-benrlng quartz Is over
forty feet wldo and the books thnt nre
taken out nro enormous. The mine has
been thoroughly developed and there Is
mica enough to last tnnny years. Regular
shipments have been made for some time
to New York City, where It hns been util
ized for electrical purposes by one of the
largest mica purchasing companies In th
world. The mien ls free from Iron and Is
especially well adapted to electrical uses.
There ls sure to be a mica boom In tin
Illaek Hills as n result of this purchase.
There are hundreds of undeveloped mle.1
prospects, especially In Custer county,
which nro now being picked up nt n rnpld
rate. II. It. Sullivan proposes to continue
the shipments of mica east.

days, getting together a large nmount of
tln-benrlng properties for the old Glendnle
Tin Mining company of London. The com
pany operated near Keystone several year
ago, during the time of the defunct Har
ney Peak Tin company, but Its mill was
not started up nt all, owing to the failure
of the Hnruey Peak company. The com
pany hns now been reorganized nnd active
work Is to commence Immediately on the
development of some of the best tln
be.irlng properties In the world. The fu
ture of tin mining In the Illnck Hills will
rest largely upon the success of this com
pany. If It Riicco-d In getting com

At Orevllle, not far from the Glendale
company's properties, about 400 acres of
ground has been tnken up by a wealthy
syndlcnte. whose headquarters are In Ilcl

to make plans for the opening of the prop
erty. It ls the old Sally Cavnnaugh mine,
which has the world's record for having
the richest tin ore. There was recently
organized a company to opcrnte in the
Dear Gulch tin district.
A big ledge of pyrltlc ore has been struck
Just outside of the city limits of Dead
wood by J. T. Ollmore and associates. The
ore runs well In gold, copper and Iron nnd
It makes an Ideal ilux for tho Deadwood
smelter. The ledgo of ore is over forty
feet wide. Across the gulch abbut ninety
tons of this samo character of ore are
being shipped dally to tho Ooldon Reward
smelter for a (lux. The Elkhorn Railway
company has put In a spur to this mine.
A big company Is about to bo organized
to work several properties located In tho
Garden City dlatrlct northwest of this
city. A number of tests have been made
on the ore nnd It Is found to be nmcnnblo
to tho cyanide process.

iloni. l-ONDON, Aug. 18. Tho Freeman's Jour
nal of Dublin publishes nn Interview be
tween Paul Kruger and William Redmond
In Hllversom, Holland, In which the former
president of tho South African republic,
after expressing gratitude for Irish support,
soys he regards tho Irish as "brothers In
oppression" and urged the nationalist mem
bers of tho Ilrltlsh Parliament to continue
their elTorts to secure Justice and truth."
When asked concerning the effect of Lord
Kitchener's recent proclamation nnd of Mr.
Chamberlain's speeches, Kruger replied:
"My people are not to bo frightened by
such proclamations of Bpcechco which will
only encourago them to continue fighting.
"Tho Dritlsh have used armed natlvos
agalntt the burghers from the beginning,
but we havo not used armed kafilrs. It has
always been ngalnst our principles to uso
the black man against the white."
Mr. Kruger cmphntlcnlly denied tho ex
istence of a Dutch conspiracy against Ilrlt
lsh Iniluence In South Africa.
When askoil regarding Great Hr. tain's
promises as to tho treatment of tho Doers
after t-urrender, he said:
Hvvm i'h roil uli .lolin Hull.
"I know Great Britain's promises. You
In Ireland ought also to know them. The
Ilrltlsh promlso to lend us money to put
thlngti right. Then, if It were not repaid,
our land would bo taken. Thoy ask us to
allow a ropo to be put around our nocks
and to call that freedom. We should bo
slaves."
After expressing his firm conviction that
God, In good time, would give tho Iloerj
deliverance, ho remarked:
'Even now wo could rebuild our coun
try, but to do eo wo must havo full Inde
pendence." When nsked about farm burning and the
concentration enmps, he exclaimed:
"Why do they fight women nnd children?
There aro our own men to fight against.
I do not bellevp the Dritlsh people know
what ls being done lu their name. If they
did know, they would stop It."
Mr. Kruger said nothing had been set
tled on tho subject of a visit to tho L'nlted
States. According to Mr. Redmond, his
appearance belles tho idea that ho Is break
