KANSAS GRASSHOPPER VICTIMS.
The Governor Estimates the Mum.
Der Needing Aid Through the Win.
ter at 10000.

Gov. Osborne of Kansas, under date
Of Topeka. Kansas, Dec. II, telegraphs
to the Chicago Tribune as follows:
| estimate the number Of people in
the western counties of Kansas who
need aid during the coming winter at
10000. A large proportion Of these
are now in want. People in the east
ern part Of the State are doing all in
their power to prevent suffering on the
frontier, but the extent of the destitu-
ton warrants the conclusion that they
are unequal to the emergency. Flour.
potatoes, hominy and beans for food,
and clothing, especially for women and
children, are most needed. Food for
stock is also much needed, as is also
spring wheat, corn, oats, barley. and
flax for spring planting. The winter
thus far has been a very favorable one,
and the prospect is for a good crop.
Wheat is most excellent. A large in
crease of acreage has been sown, and if
no unfor seen misfortune should occur
| to these people they will next year be
able not only to subsist themselves, but
| also to assist the unfortunates in other
| local ties. Donations sent through the
| Kansas Central Relief Committee, OF
| which Lieut.. Gov. Slower is President
and W. w. Giles Treasurer, with head
quarters at Topeka. will be sure to
reach those for whom they are intend
ed, and will be publicly acknowledged.

How the Abolition Of Capital Pun
ishment Works in Iowa.
IRON the Chicago Time61

How the Abolition Of Capital Pun--
ishment Works i'm Iowa.
From the Chicago Times1
Iowa some years ago abolished capt.
tai punishment. 1t was thought by the
legislators to be relic of barbarous
age, wholly unsuited for civilized
State. The result has long been ap--
parent. Murders of unheard Of
atrocity have been Of common occnr-
renee ever since the abolition Of the
gallows. Some time since most IN
provoked murder occurred in Des
Moines, and few days ago the perpe-
traitor was convicted of murder in the
first degree and sentenced to imprison-
ment for life. The citizens, acknow-
lodging the ,nadequacy of the law for
the punishment of such criminals, re-
solved to, take the law into their own,
hands, and yesterday morning at an
early hour they, to the number Of a
hundred and fifty, went to the jail.
took the prisoner out, and hung him to
lamp post.
While such acts Of lawlessness can
not be defended, there is an apology
for their frequency that cannot be
lightly passed over. As long as men
guilty Of the worst crime in the deca-
logue can escape the just punishment
for their misdceds, either through the
inadequacy of the law or imperfcctions
in its administration. just so long will
mob-law rule. The only way to avoid
it is to make laws suitably Furnishing
| offenders and enforce them vigorously.

The VICKsBUR6 AFFAIR.
Meeting OF the Legislature..Gsver.
NOR Ames' Message.-The Colored
Majority Puzzled.

jackson, Miss, Telegram, Dec III
The Legislature assembled at noon.
Nearly all the members were present.
The Governor sent in his message,
claiming the present condition Of affairs
at Vicksburg was brought about by vio-
lent white men for political purposes.
He says at this moment the county au-
thorities are successfully resisted, and
free action Of the officials is impossi BILE.
ARMED insurgents procure orders
for local election, with the intention
that the ballots be cast
in such a reign of terror
that the will of the majority will be de-
MED by the minority. The insurgents
have deliberately and knowingly en-
tered into the work of revolt, and we
must face the facts as they exist. If
the instruction is successful, we must
reduce the majority to the will of the
minority. which means power by force,
and which must be retained by legisla-
ton as harsh and cruel as the first acts
of violence, in which case one race will
be deprived of their rights and remand
ed back to an unfortunate condition as
they ever knew, or else compelled to
wander seeking freedom rather than
homes, as is now the case with many of
the race in other States. He makes
no recommendation to the Legisla-
ture, but when it is remembered that a
majority of the House are blacks. and
the Governor whole message an ap'
peal to the prejudices of the majority.
its general tenor cannot be mistaken
He closes by requesting the Legislature
to take steps to avert an instruction
in Warren county. and prevent similar
occurrences and says: Il venture te
express hope there are but few of oul
fellow citizens who will not cheerfully
respond to any demand made upor
them
The Legislature don't seem to know
how to grapple the problem presented
to them. Probably they will ask tn
United States for troops for Vicksburg
and probably they will repeal the Law
authorizing the special election alread.

We can't help seeing the effects of
the new policy Of Bennett the younger
in the management of the Herdld-the
policy of securing capable men in his
editorial office. For years the Intel
lectual department" of the Herald has
been theme Of general popularity In
New York, and it deserved all the
laughter it got. Those who were aware
of the decay it had undergone from the
time the elder Bennett was in his
prime when he was between
fifty and seventy thought that its
fiashy days were gone, never to
return. and that with enormous wealth
had come Incidence and imbecility.
But. during the last year, young Ben
nett has strengthened his staff in such
a way as to give fresh life to his paper.
The new departure is really mat
ter of interest to those concerned about
the intelligence and morality of the
myriad New Workers who peruse the
Herald daily. 1t has now among its
men Young, formerly manager of the
Tribune Chamberlain, formerly lead
er writer Of the World and It has just
secured Charles Nordhoff, formerly
manager of the Erening Post, who il
to have charge Of its Washington cor
respondence. The editorial page o
he Herald is again deserving of notice
and it frequently discusses objects with
as much strength and liveliness as an.

From the Winona Republican, l5th)
Among the passengers who got Off

entered the bus for the Jewell House.
Just as the omnibus was starting out
the man said to the lady: "Here Is
five dollars. You pay your fare while
| 90 to look after the baggage, and then
I'll come up The woman went to the
hotel, but after some time elapsed and
no man arrived. she began to make in
quiries, and learned from Officer Miller
that the man, whose name the woman
said was Charles Monroe,
had taken the train for the
East. The officer then learned that
the woman's name was Mary johnson.
formerly a servant at the Nicollet
House, Minneapolis. She said she was
engaged to be married to Charles Mon
roe, a painter, and he brought her TO
Winona to have the nuptial knot tied.
Confiding in him with an over-anund-
| ance of trust, she had turned over to
him sixty dollars in money and other
valuables. with which the rascal had
made off. leaving her to her fate at the
Jewell House, where lovers have before
proved faithless dcserters.
The girl having told her sorrowful
story to Officer Miller, he took prompt
steps for the arrest of the false-hearted
Charles, and in less than five hours
from the time of leaving Winona the
| bird was under arrest in La Crosse.
Marshal Slater went down and brought
him up, on Monday afternoon, and this
morning he consented to marry the
girl, and the ceremony was accordingly
performed by His Honor. Justice Story,
