It will be my purpose when elect. ed to so conduct myself ne to win the respect and good will of those who have opposed me as well those who have given mo their sup port. I shall be governor of the whole people of the state. Abuses have undoubtedly grown up in the Legislature which are neither th fault of one party nor the other, but rather the growth of custom. Un necessary investigations have been authorized by committees, resulting In unnecessary expense to the State, It will be my care and purpose to correct those and other evils in so far as I have the power. It will be my purpose while Governor of Pennsylvania, as it has been my purpose in the public positions that I have held, with God's help, discharge my whole duty. The people are greater than the parties to which they belong. I am only jealous of their favor. I shall only attempt to win their approval and my experience has taught me that that can best be done by an honest modest, daily discharge of public duty. EDITORIAL. PIKO REFLECTS. JN A recent article to the "near and dear paper" we find this men tion by Piko : "If Mr. Lee's life is spared, his post office address, after January 1st, will be "Senate Cham ber," Harrisburg, Pa., and the agi tators for the extention of the ty rannical powers, now enjoyed by the Blooming Grove Park Associa tion, through their diabolical char ter, to all similar organizations, will get no encouragement from the Democratic 22d District." Webster defiues diabolical as pertaining or appropriate to the devil. Among the names of the incorporators of the association upon which Piko takes every opportunity to pour out the vials of his wrath are- Lafayette Weatbrook, John C. Westbrook and Warren K. Eidgway, all of whom have received at the hands of their fellow citizens repeated evidences of esteem and confidence. It is the mark of an ingrate to thus reflect, especially on the venerable John C, than whom there could be no more kind or faithful wet nurse than he has been for many years to Piko. The Italians on the new railroad were all paid lust Monday and Jm'4 u3 (or a few dayi, MISSIONS DEFKVDJ5D. Their Civilising Influence, and Cost of Management. The article entitled "Foreign Mis sions" printed in your Valuable pa per Aug 19th is of such a nature that I cannot but say a few words in regard to it It is, however, not my intention to enter Into any con troversy with the writer of that ar. tide, nor shall these words be an apology, for foreign missions do not need any apology, nor shall this be a vindication of the foreign mission ary movement for its intrinsic vnl- ue and high importance has been recognized by men of the greatest learning, standing the foremost ranks of the scholars of. this and the earlier centuries. I am am astonished that the writ er of that article can even .question for a minute the fact that the work of the missionaries in the slums is more effective than the work of the police. If he cares, and as an hon est man he ought to care, he can convince himself of the correctness of my statement, that the mission ary work in the slums is accompan ied by greater and more permanent results thon that of the police, by coming to New York City, and go through the slums accompanied by a missionary who will point out to him what the missionaries have done. I question whether the writer of that article is really an unbiased reader of the Bible and of history. In seems to me that when the gentleman in question studied the Bible anl ' history, all that which he demands in others, i.e., a mind free of any preconceived no tions, was utterly wanting in him, or he could not have mude such a thor oughly talso statement as tne 101- lowing : "That p"eople would make it (the Bible) the literal and sole guide would be a nation of Social ists." How does the gentlernen harmonize the following two pas. sages in the Bible with his above statement? "The first passage wi find: Matthew, XXII : 21, and is in answer to the question whether it is lawful to give tribute to thosi who are in authority. "Render, therefore, unto Caesar the things that are Cassar's.iand unto God, the the things that are God's." And again he said : "All things, there fore, whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, even bo do ye also unto them." Matthew VII : 12 Truly these are not the principles of socialism, but if all our citizens would live un to. 4Uese precepts, Truly it is extremely difficult to live in accordance with the precepts of the Bible, not because "the en tire civilized earth would have to be entirely remodeled'," as that writer wants ns to believe, but because men could no longer indulge un punished in their passions and more thaa dubious pleasures. Therefore it is far easier and more convenient to slander the Bible and minimize the good that has come lrom it, to accept as true without further in vestigation what the opponents of Christianity say s, than to convince ones self of the truth by careful and diligent study of the results of the work of the missionaries. bince I have no reason to doubt that the writer of that articla is a gentleman, and therefore open to conviction, I would ask him kindly to read with an unbiased mind J . F. Dennis' book, "Christian Missions and social progress," published by Jf. H. Kevell Co., N. Y. City. This book will give him a true and honest representation of the work of Chris tian missionaries in foreign coun tries. As to the other statement, "that but 18 of the foreign missionary funds ever reached the heathen for whom it was collected," I emphat ically declare it, even though it is attributed to a minister, a misrep resentaticn. The fact is that the cost of administration is only 7, as can be seen by the reports of all reputable missionary boards, which are published and can be bought. The method employed by the dif ferent boards of foreign missions to collect money and transfer it again to the different Holds, is perhaps not the most perfoct one. but the integrity of those men who have charge of these matters is above suspicion, and they are as earnest and business-like in the discharge of these duties as ought to be expec ted of any honest and diligent busi ness man. Least but not last, if any man makes a remark at another man for the re:nark, "Judged from the fact that he claims much that is not in sight, I should set him down as a D. D., etc., etc., "is doubtless in the mind of the writer an attack upon Mr. Carroll (though in fuct it is only an honor) such a man should at least make sure that he knows what he talks about, and cot show also his ignorance even iu things rela tive to the affairs of this world and especially hi owu government. Though I do not want to say thnt he ought to know every official, yet I do not doubt that if he had known that Mr. Carroll was Kupt. of a De partment of the U. 8. Census and never a D. D., he would not have made such a blunder. Therefore got the facts before you moke state ments, or yon ore apt to mako your self ridiculous even in the eyes of those who sympathize with yon and your ideas. H. H. 8. THE HESSIAN FLT IN WHEAT This insect, which is very abun- dant in Pennsylvania, is often known r 8 the "fly" or the "wheat fly." It is responsible for a largo amount of loss each year, often de stroying one-quarter of the crop, and is particularly injurious in the wet seosons. LIFE HIstoRY. There are two broods of this in sect this year. The winged fly np pears in August and Septomler, and scorches for the young winter wheat to lay its eggs on, and places them on the liiof blades, anywhere from one to thirty on a blade. In four or five days the eggs hatch and the young maggots crawl down the blade, enter the sheath and pass down to the joint. Here they stay sucking the juice from the plant un til about thfe end of November, when they turn brown, and horden. This is called the flax-seed stage. In this condition they pass the winter. In the Spring, about the middle or end of April, they change to the full grown form, the winged fly. These, at once begin to lay their eggs as before, and the history as already give- for the fall brood is repeated ; the flies from this brood, appearing in August and September to lay their eggs on the winter wheat. This, in brief, la the history of the Hessian fly. TREATMENT. From what has been given it is plain that there is no treatment of the seed which will do any good, nor is spraying of any possible use. Treatment here must be in other lines. The best thing to do for the pro tection of the wheat ftom the fly is : 1. Plont a small piece of wheat early in August so that it will come up early, and be found by the flies when looking for a place to lay their eves. This pieoo will, of course, be full of maggots later About the end of September plow this under, and do not use the oirfn.WbentthaBex11,veAry their eggs in this early wheat and as they die after egg laying, few will be left. 2. Do not plant the wheat (ex cept the small piece just spoken of) until about September 20th ; by that time almost every fly will have diod, and there will be none left to lay their eggs whon that wheat comes up. There is a tendency in Pennsyl vania, as well as elsewhere, for the farmer to got his sowing done a lit tle earlier than the year bofore, This is directly favorable to the fly Wheat sown as late as September 20th will moke growth enough so that it will not winter-kill, and this method has been tried in States far thor north than Pennsylvania for many years with success. 3. Some kinds of wheat are less at tacked by the fly than others. Roll ing the field, with a heavy roller, when the fields are smooth wid free from stones, about the ffrst of Oct ober, is of value in some cases Letting sheep graze on the fields ns soon as two or three blades from each root appear, also helps, the sheep eating the eggs of the fly .along with the leaves. Crops on poor land usually suffer most j hence the use of fertilizers to enrich the soil, aids in keeping down the insect. 4. Where the fly is already in the wheat, cutting a little higher than usual and plowing the stubble under at once, will kill the insects before they have changed to the winged stage. Burning the stubble is also beneficial at this time. SUMMARY. The fly must be killed or starved. To kill as many as possible, plant a small piece early, as a trap for the fly to lay its eggs onv than plow it under and thus kill the eggs from which the spring brood comes. To starve the fly do not plant un til September 20. so that the fly will die before it can find any wheat to lay its eggs on. If both these methods are used to: ether and if all who raise wheat iu any region will work together to do this, but little trouble from the pest should occur. Many farmers in the State are following this plan already and with good success. One writes: "I plant a trap piece early, and my main crop late, and am never troub led with the fly, while some farmers in this township sometimes lose one-quarter of their crop." It results like this can be obtained in such an easy way it will certain ly pay to try these methods 11. T. FERN ALD, Btata Zoologist. WHEN TO PICK FRUIT. The Agriculturist' of a Into date! contains an article by C. A. Bus1, kirk, of Indiana, entitled "When to pick winter apples and pears," the writer recounting his experience and giving bis reasons siys, h found by rending, the recommenda tion to gather eorly, as early, in fact ns the first blackening of the sood.-i and before tho full ripening and coloring in order to onlianeo the keeping qualities of tho Irnit. He followed the instructions so far as to have his apples nnd pears pick ed whilo it wns still hot wenther leaving a few barrels of apples most ly Ben Davis nnd some Kieffer pears unirathered until near the middle of November as n comparative test He says those gathered in October did not keep nearly so well as those gathered in November and taking out the loss by fall of apples from the trees and all other causes and he feels sure he would have hod 25 per cent more apples and pears in good condition had ho left tho whole crop until near the middle of Novembor Thopenr loss was greatest He therefore argues in favor of late picking. Our teaching has been that poors should be gathered when tho stem, by lifting of tho fruit, parts readily from the branch and that apples are best if gathered before fully ripen ing. Kieffer pears have been quite gen erality condemned, and one writing in their defonse asserted that the reoson wos because they were allow ed tobecomo too ripe before picking That if taken from tho tree early and allowed to ripen slowly in a cool dork place they were excellent as to tast9 nnd quality. Probably no safe rule con bo laid down as to the time to pick fruit as much de ponds on the saim. In loto O st and early November sovoro winds ore likely to occur, and it seems reasonable thnt fruit which must then be very ripo would nearly nil be shaken from the trees. Our judg ment is that the rule nbovo laid down as to pears is a safe ono nnd that apples should not ordinarily be left Inter thon soy Oct. 15th, in tbii section. The subject is ono of interest and we should like to heor from some of the growers in this vicinity. I .REGISTER'S NOTICE.

SOME PAT QUESTIONS. rromlnent Men flnced In Embarrafllnff Va nltlnnn Through Them. A simple question put In Parliament a few years ago caused a laugh LUiout'ioui ull fcngland, and defeated a great measure. Mr. Curzon, then Under Secretory for India, was making a long nnd elaborate speech against a measure urged by the opposition re garding that dependency, as certain to result In a loss to the Government of many lacs of rupees. He repeated with emphasis: "Consider! Not pounds- nor guineas, but lacs of ru pees!" A quiet voice on the Opposition benches asked: "Exactly how much Is a lac of rujiees?" Mr. Curzorf opened his mouth, stam mered, grew red, and then, with Eng lish candor, said: "I really don't know." The Hous laughed, and In that laugh he lost his cause. A somewhat similar scene occurred many years ago In Congress. A pres ent of Arabian horses, a sword, &c, ar rived from the Imam of Muscat for President Adams. A Western mem ber, with some heat, moved that the gifts should be sent back, with a let ter from Congress, Informing the ruler of Muscat that the President of the United States was no king, but the mltted to give or receive presents. Another member arose. "Such a let ter, Mr. Speaker," he said, "can easily be written. Rut where Is It to be sent? Where Is Muscat?" There was no response. Apparently not a member of the House was pre pared to answer, nor could Muscat then be found In any atlas published In the country. It was found at last on a German map. A civil answer was returned, and the geographers made haste to Insert Muscat In the next edi tion of their maps. Nothing perforates bombastic ora tory like a sharp question. When Burke, in the height of a labored pero ration in Parliament against Fraive, drew a dagger and threw It on the floor, somebody made the act absurd by saying, "Yes, that's the knife. Where's the fork?" Equally sharp was the reply of Pope Plus IX., when the Cardinals met and eloquently condoled with him on the sufferings In certain villages from earthquake and famine. "How much are you sorry, my brethren?" he Bald. "How many lire does your sympathy weigh?" The only answer possible to this question was the rollef of the villages. The unsalaried office always nas to seek the man. An old hen never fears opposition from the egg-plant. Some men never respect the things they are unable to understand. No woman is ever as young as she expects others to think she looks. The man who chews cloves is never quite free from the breath of suspi cion. The less energy a man has the easi er It Is for him to drift Into matri mony. The life of a chorus girl can't be so very wearing. Judging from her ap parel. It isn't pride that makes the gallery gods look down on the rest of the audi ence. A Justice of the peace Is the only peace connected with some matrimon ial experiments. The only way a man can And out Just what a woman really thinks of him Is to make her angry. The peacemaker Is all right, but he Is never appreciated by the man who is getting the best of It Ice cream may be unhealthy, but the motive of the young man who tries to prove It to big girl friends Is apt to be misconstrued.
