Ifany man is so deluded as to think
that Hardeman county can elect cons
sentative to the next legislature with C
multiplicity of candidates in the field
against one radical, he ought to take
immediate steps to enlighten himself on
the subject. This thing cannot be done.
Hence, we are for a convention to place
a proper candidate before the people.

Grasshopper Plague in 1873 -19-
According eilPsHlstory, AN extract
from which the Worthington, MINI.
"Advance'' publishes, there was a pla-
que Of grasshoppeas in Northwestern
Minnesota in 1918. The next year
the calamity was worse. They were
produced in masses, two three and four
inches in depth. The water was infec.
ed by them. Along the river they
were to be found in heaps like sea-weed
and might be shoveled with. . spade.
Every vegetable substance was either
eaten up, or stripped to the bare stalk;
the leaves of the bushes and the bark
Of trees shared the same fate; and the
grain vanished as fast as it appeared
above ground. Even fires, ifkindled
out Of doors, were extinguished by
them.

The TiltOn Beecher Case.

nV 11ANVA ASNVSsASA SsSS~
At last, Mr. Beecher has made his
statement. In the beginning Of the in
vestigatiou he sent to the committee a
solemn and comprehensive denial of tn,
charge m ade against him and, now
follows that up with detailed history
ofhis connection with Theodore Tilton,
more especially that part which bears
on the present case. It would be i'm
possible to prove innocence in the case
The most that can be done is to refut te
aud discredit the testimony put forth
to establish the charge. This, Mr.
Beecher has done in a manner which,
we believe, will commend it to the ere.
dence Of every truth loving person.
The case stands now, as the boldest and
most remarkable attempt at black.
mailing ever known. Mr.. Bcecher
unravels the web in which Tilton and
Moulton have endevored to ensnare
him, shows its maliciousuess, portrays
the different steps taken and lays bare
the motives for them with q clearness
and precision that is astonishing.
The statement bears undoubted evil
dence of sincerity and truth and reveals
Mr.. Beecher's private life and weak
nesses in a manner that must have been
very humilia ting. but, we think. it has
carried con viction to the minds of
many who we're in doubt and suspense.
1t would be difficult to convince us
that there is one unprejudiced, intell-
igent person in the country who be-
lieves that the charges Of Theodore
Tilton are anything else than malic.
ious SANDER. Without the statement
of Mr.. Beecher, he stands in the esti-
nation of the majority of respectable
people, as the most thoroughly disgrace
ed moral bankrupt in existance.
Unfortunately, there are too many
persons in this country who entertain
views, Of domestic virtue and social
relations, akin to Mr.. Tiltons to allow
this thing to meet the fate that it de.
serves. The large number who advo-
cate unrestrained prostitution as the
normal condition of the human family,
whom Mr.. Tilton knew would be his
active and answering adherents in
this matter, emboldened him to make
the charges, and they will not let it
die out so long as they can keep it
alive. A prominent, perhaps the most
prominent evangelical minister in the
country, is too shining a mark at
which to sling thir filth.
