THE sufferings of settlers in north
western Iowa prove to be much greater
than has been believed. One thousand
families, estimated to number over
1900 persons, are actually suffering
from want Of food. The famine has
been brought on by the .grasshopper
plague. which has utterly destroyed the
crops in that section Of the country.
Aside from the preparations for reliet
made in different parts Of the State,
the State Grange has appointed a spe-
cial committee, with headquarters at
Dcs Moincs, to receive subscriptions.

Mr. Reber,s is one of the temperance
men of whom We are speaking, ready
to vote for a man who drinks whiskey
ready to set him up as candidate for

If temperance men would make

first aim at the nomination OF such men
by one or both of the political parties
if both put up good men, then it is a
fair choice between them on other

for the true man to whatever party he

THE PROPOSED rRASSA TLiNTIC
BALLOON VOYAGE.

To the El.tor efAc Scientific Amrri-
can
In regard to tie feasibility of a
transa lantie trip by means of balloon,
my impression is that Professor Wise
understands himself and his subject in
Glitely better than do the public; and
i. is tremely probable that his sue
SIS is more than possible. The tact
il we'll known that currents of air,
moving in diGeren. directions, form
the aerial strata a-ouni the earth !;
"a all that would be needle / By the
navigator, in order to make balloon
voyaeing perfect science, would be to
understand these movements. These
can be determined by observation and
experiment; aud it may be, in future
wears, that We shall be a. familiar with
these air strata as the geologist is now
with those OF the rocks, or the navigator
with the currents of the ocean. Fixed
laws govern all matter, aud we are all
children in the great school Of Nature,
learning these laws. Where is the
great danger and difficulty about bal
l,ou navigation when these current are
known 1t will be a mode ofnaviga>
ton safer and far speedier than the
ship or steamer. The ship is confined
to one stratum of the atmosphere,
where may prevail a terrific torn do
in which nothing will live, while the
b ,loon may rise or fall out of danger
when navigators of experience control
| her. 4 we'll construed balloon will
be as safe as either the ship or steamer
! There is no more danger of the collapse
| of balloon than Of ship springiag q
leak or steam boiler exploding; be-
sides, the balloon may be devded into
compartment of air chambers to in
sure greater safety. | remember read
ing year ortwo since an article, written,
| I think, by Chancellor Livingstone 10
1912, in reference to the feasibility of
steam carriage by rail, in which the
| Chancellor ridicules the ideas as pre-
posterous, and states why the project
will not succeed. His reasons why are
very laughable to us now, who see their
fallacy. All inventions OF value to the
world spring not forth as Minervas, but
have their babyhood, youth, aud man
hood. I truly hope Professor Wise
may be encouraged In his grand enter
prise.

BANKRUPT WORLD.

Some English statistician has been
computing tue public debts of the
natjoos of the world. He puts France
at the head of the list with burden
of s5,000,000,000; the sad legacy of
the German conflict. Great Britain
follows with s3,750,000,000, and the
United States comes third with debt
of over s2,000,000,000. The aggre>
gate public debts of all the Govern-
ments of the world, amount to the
enormous sum of S20,000,0 1000, 900, a
figure so Aast as to be almost incom>
prehensible. IF man were to count
it as rapidly as he could handle it,
dollar by dollar, he would not finish
the task in fifteen centuries. When we
come to add to this the debts of States,
provinces, municipalities, villages.
corporations, and individuals, we have
mountain of Indebtedness perfectly
appalling. And the worst of it is that
though nations and Individuals are
bankrupt, they are coming on piling
up more liabilities year after year.
Wealth, which is the product of labor, is
completely outstriped in the race.
Some day this enormous burble must
burst. Then comes the deluge.-

TEnpRANCE POLITICIANS.

We have said that "temperance"
parties are of very little or no account
IN politics, because Temperance m n
IN Ike great outcry before election, but
when the time for voting comes. they
vote for their political party regardless OF
temperance eprinciples of the candidate
\ beautiful proof Of what we said is
lonnd ia the speech OF leading tenn
perance politician in Massachusetts,,
last week, at the meetina of the State
Alliance in Boston. The Ailertser
says the business was opened by the
presentation Of report recommending
hat he cities and towns be canvassed d
10 SECURE the names Of men who vi
pledge themselves to take charge of
thorough temperance canvass in their
respcctive districts. Several gentlman
dccIare that these plans ought not to be
made public. and the Rev. George +.
Clark, Of Meudon, brought the crisis
by asking what was meant by
thorough cam oaign, whether it mean
the nomination of a full ticket OF
state officers Ex Mayor Galley, Of
Salem. Chairman Of the Campaign Com
mttee, In renly said theY had badly
perfected their plans sufficiently to re-
port to TIE alliance, but he intimated
that they would not be TO establish a
senarate party, or to leave the Repub-
lican party if it ma1c satisfactory
Nomination.
Then followed debate, in which
one gentleman gave the Irish
prohibtionists sharp rub, others
defended them as sharply, another
declared significantly that they mustn't
be basged in this campaign, and put
M as leader one who had not the
respect of the commonwealth, and
aaother declared for straight out
nomination. This at length led up
direct to the Butler question. Mr..
James II. Roberts had the honor of
first bodily proposing him as their
standard bearer. The temperance peo~
ple. ho said, had been cheated enough ;
they needed now man of brains and
and backbone, and that man was benJa :
min i. Butler. [Sensationl. Genera
Butler had told him privately he added /,
that he would enforce the law impar>

that if they must support a man who
