are replying by asking some pertinent
quostions and citing some pertincDt
tacts. Thoy point out the faot that
northern love for the negro is confined
to election day. How many business
offices in tho north employ ncgroolerka?
Ilow many negro trainmen are employed
on northern railways? Hjw utary negroes
have been appointed to postmasurships

northern states havo elected negro senators

position of porter iu hotols and on

restaurants. Is there a uegro linotypo

tho Roosevelt-Washington dinner

Ibis was tho statement made b7
Prof. (1. H Riley, of tho department,
who pa?sod through Ohiuigi last week
en route to San Franoisro and the Pilippines.
Prof, lliloy, of tho division of
entomology, will devote a year in ?he
Philippines to thestuiy of bugaaud iv
so^ts of tho arohipoiago. Too "'hu liming
bird" bum^lcbco of the Philip
pines w ll bo ouoof the main objects
of his inquiry. It is planned to import
tho big bco of tho Philippines into tho
United States that ho may make war
upon tho Amryican hold mouse, a rodent
which has caused tho farmers of
the country a loss of thousands of dollars.
'"It is an oM Baying among farmers,"
raid Prof. Uiloy, reports a Chicago papjr,
"that wheo there is plenty of
?< 07cr there aro lots t_f bumblebees.
What tho farmer really'mcatiS is that
'?> en there aro lots of humblobeos there
< plenty of olover. Ho mieht carry
bis logic further by saying that when
. Id mice arc source there a<*o plenty of
j I'.'mblebees, and that when iboro art
twenty of eats tbero aro few field mice.
"In order to save tho olovor or?pa
>f tho oountry tho agricultural depvrtment
has tho ehoioo of fwo things, to

which will destroy the Geld mouse,
or to Uko away from tbo rodent h's

if successful would result in a gain of i
ihouennds of do.Urn to tho farmers.
The Geld mouse is very fond of bum
bitbeo honey and novor 1 a >s an op- (
portuuity to deprivs the inroct of the
rewaids of his work. The honey taken
away from the tumblckeo oausos him '
to perish iu the winter tirno. Hence a

a carrier of pollon from one clover

bu many other plnute.
' Wo hold that tho bumble bco is

MiracUs of Development.

Thirty years ago tho total railroad
