"A correspondent of the Mankato

"A correspondent of the Mankato
Union says that a drop and half of
strychnine was administered to grass
hopper, and he was then placed IN a
glass goblet and kept without food two
whole days after which he came out as
live as a cricket. After this lump OF
salts of ammonia was placed under the
glass, and acid being placed on the salt
gas was generated freely, but it didn't
seem to disturb the grasshopper's peace
of mind in the least. After this more
acid was applied and kept on until the
creature quietly yielded up his unwll-
ling ghost.
Gentlemen, its no use, you cant clean
out the grasshoppers in this way in
time to save any considerable portion Of
the crop this year. Try some other
method.

The New Departure.

We understand that the farmers Of
Goodhue County are talking of calling
a convention sometime in September for
the purpose of considering what, if any,
political action they will take this Fall.
This is very important movement, and
one that should be carefully considered.
That the producing classes will have to
take more leading and active part in
the government Of the country than they
have been taking, before they may ex~
pect to have their rights fully established
and their grievances fully redressed, is
beyond all question.
1t is in vain that they denounce Credit
Mobilier Swindles, in vain that they
storm about the Back Pay Grab, in vain
that they inveigh against corruption in
high places, and bitterly complain of
partial legislation, unless they take the
lines in their own hands, they migh as
well bray at the moon. The politicians
are not afraid of storm and bluster, but
when the people begin to act, then they
will begin to fear and tremble.
You cannot split rock with argu-
ments. You cannot fight the bristling,
cleaning, pointed bayonets with mud
You cannot tunnel the mountains with
toothpicks. No more can you strike
down corruption with talk Every evil
has its appropriate remedy. The proper
remedy for the evils of the present times
is the BALLOT. God given. The
highest and most sacred inheritance of
every freeman. He who fails to use it
as he ought is more guilty than was ia
cob in selling his birthright for mess
of pottage.
Hitherto the masses have been too
negligent in this respect. They have al
lowed the politicians to run things to
suit themselves. Instead Of voting like
intelligent, responsible citizens, who must
account to posterity and to God for their
every act of citizenship, they have al
lowed themselves to be voted. We trust
better day is dawning.
Let the farmers of Goodhue county
meet and act, but act with deliberation,
with prudence, with sense of the re-
sponsibility that rests upon them. Your
proceedings will be watched with intense
interest by your brethren throughout
the State. The opportunity is yours to
make proud record for yourselves and
your country. Are you ready for the
! OCCASION

Ex-Governor Herbert Of Louisiana mo
relative to Herbert of the ADVANCED
has written letter favoring Grant
for third term, although he is, or pre-
tends to be, democrat. The matter
is easily understood when we remember
that Herbert (not the ADVANCE man,
but the Louisiana chap has recently
been appointed levee commissioner un-
der the new act of Congress at a salary
Of $1,000 per annunl: which is a good
thing for Herbert (of louisiana and
undoubtedly enables him to see the
third term policy in a very clear light.
We should think he could afford to
write another letter, considering the
amount Of his salary, commencing the
Presidents salary grab Of $4,000 per
annum.
DR.. Hatfield, one of the most talented
pulpit orators of America, in writing to
the Aduocate says Of that paper: "I
enjoy reading it, not only because I can
respond to most that it contains with a
hearty Methodistic amen, but for the
further reason that almost every number
contains some things to which I take ex-
ceptions, and over which am not likely
to fall asleep" That man has soul; he
is none Of your narrow, contracted be-
ings who are afraid to hear an opinion
in opposition to their preconceived ideas :;
milk and water men who are afraid that
all the milk will be spoiled by little
thunder and lightning. Will men ever
learn that agitation is the only way to
prevent stagnation, that other men are
entitled to their own opinions and are as
likely to be right as themselves, and that
the only way to advance is to hear and
consider all sides
The Grange advance., 1874-07-22

Mr.. Dunnell claimed in his speech at
Owatonna, that he was authorized le-
gal!y, constitutionally, and morally" to
take and keep the back pay under the
salary grab act. Now, if he was NOR
ally authorized to take and keep the
money, he was morally authorized to
vote for the act, and yet he has spoken
and written volumes to attempt to prove
that he was opposed to the act and voted
against it. His own words are almost
conclusive proof that he favored the
measure, and in an underhanded, sneak :
ing, unmanly way aided it. Never will
The GRANGE ADVANCE support such
Il man for office.

Judge Mitchell Of Winona peremp-
torily declines being candidate for
Congress in the First District. Few
men in the State are better qualified for
that position than he is. A finished
scholar, an able and upright Jud ge, and
man Of stern integrity. Upon the
death of Judge Waterman, he was NOM
mated and supported by both parties as
the successor OF the deceased Judge,
and almost unanimously elected.
Jud &c Mitchell admits that he is not
indifferent to the proposition Of his
name for Congress, but alleges that
reasons Of private and personal nature
absolutely preclude the idea of his be.

Donnelly's Anti-MouopoHst closes
a.. address to the editor of the St. Paul
Press in the following words:

The St. Paul Press estimates the
damage done BY the grasshoppers in
this State at SO 100000 Terrible and
wiic.s spread as the devastation of these
pests has been, we do not believe the
damage TO exceed one-half Of that
amount There is no necessity Of max
ing the matter any worse than it is. It
is bad enough at the best. The Press
seems to forget that all the labor Of
harvesting. stacking, threshing and
marketing has not, and will not be ex-
pended upon the destroyed crop.
The terrible drouth that has been
prevailing in the South and South
western portion Of Kentucky is utterly
destroying the crops, and, indeed, vege-
tation. The earth is pavched to "a
acrisp, the rivers and streams are dry
ing up, and vegetation is charring in
the burning sun. The drouth has been
continuous ever since seeding time, and
extends over about twenty-five counties.
The grasshopper calamity Of Minnesota
and Iowa sinks into insigni6cance in
comparison with the more terrible dis
aster of Kentucky.
We notice that D. L. Buell. of Huston
county is very generally spoken Of as
the opposition candidate in the first
Congressional district Of this State.
| We have not the pleasure Of an ac-
quaintance with Mr. Buell., but we hear
him very highly spoken Of: We un-
derstand that in earlier life he was a
practicing lawyer, but that of late years
he has been exclusively devoted to farm
ing. From all we can learn he is pecu.
liarly qualified to represent his district
in Congress.

Warden Jackman Of the State Prison
has resigned, and the Governor has ap-
pointed as his successor John H. Reed,
of Sterling, Blue Earth county.
Whether Jackman's resignation was
caused by an adverse decision by the
Governor in the case against Jackman
pending before him is not positively
known, but it is very generally believed
that this is the reason why things are
thus.
In his speech at Owatonna on the
18th inst, MIR. Dunnell used the pro-

25 times, and the word "me," 20 times,
thus referring to himself 169 times.
This would make pretty good speech

ever. Mark was undoubtedly laboring
under the delusion that he was talking
about great man, and man of mark.

"There are questions coming up
which only those intensely loyal can
grapple with and settle as they ought
to be settled" ."-Dmnelpss speech at O,oo-

So Mark evidently considers himself
one of the intensely loyal" His idea
seems to be that the more you can plum
der, grab, and steal the more loyal you
are. A common hand at it may be
simply loyal, but to reach the hi CHER
grade of intensely loyal" he must do
no half way work. When Mark pock-
eted the "salary grab," he was doing
an intensely loyal" job.
