MALL WE EAT THE GRASS

tfron. the Springfield Republican.


Ono hardly knows whether to trea
seriously, or otherwise, the amusin!
proposition Of the American Natural
ist, to get rid of the grasshoppers b.,
eating them. The editor plead
their clearly habits, their vege
tartan diet, their delicate texture; adj
duces the usage Of the Arabs, and @
many another African and Asiatic ma
ton; and finally his own practical ex
ncrience. lie himself has eaten thu
gr:,sshoppcr. lie finds the insect
killed by boiling water, then fried in
butter, Sat least as palatable as many
articles of food eaten by civilized PEG
plc.r Now we may regard him with
the same wondering disgust with
which the first eaters of horse flesh
were greeted; but, like them, this
brave man may be the pioneer whom
the children of civilization shall rise
up and call blessed. Why not eat the
grasshoppcr! lie is as prepossessing
is the frog, and whoever has eaten
the frogs leg thanks its discOverer for
II dclicacy. He is as inviting as the tnr-
tie. that dclicacy OF aldermen and
kings. lie is cleaner than caviare,
which was aristOcratic in Shakespeare
day, and is still; or than those spar
rows giblets, which make rare pies.
Of course, it is only prejudice that
would revolt at wcll,fcd, juicy, green
Srasshopper, and yet swallow shrim, s
with avidity; and if the time comes
when the farmer welcomes show r
Of grasshoppers as the Hebrews did
their mama, and gathers them in pots,
and feeds on them with thanksgiving
and melted butter, let no one forget
that the editor Of the American Natu-
ralist set the example, and no such
mystery fingers as i'll the unanswered
question, "WhO was the bold man
that first schlooped the oystcr?" But
we feel compelled to point out that,
however excellent a service it may be

The Black Hills have at last been
probed, and the stores of wealth so
long hidden from the white mans jeal
Gus eye have been brought to light.
The result of the expedition thus far
goes to establish the reports that have
come to us concerning that delectable
land. The country is a paradise, teem-
ing with verlure and rich in floral
beauty. The timber of the best quail
ity is abundant, and the evidences of
it's mineral resources are exceedingly
tiattering. 1t needs now only for the
Government to declare. the country
open to white settlers, and the rush
will begin. No army from Govern

The adventures will 60 in sufficient
numbers to protect themselves. Where
gold is in prospect nothing will keep

How's this? Whenever a minis

all over the land emulated each

Democracy is now and ever has

Democracy is now and ever has
been, say Democratic editors and
spoutes, opposed to monopolies /;
especially to mouopolies that op-
press the people without cause.
The platform put forth by the State
Democratic Convention sententi.
ously reiterates this great feature"
of the Democratic party. And yet
the meanest and most contemplate
monopoly ever saddled upon any
people, outraging every principle
of right and justice, and imposing
a heavy burden upon the people,
was passed by the Democratic
Legislature of Oregon, and was
signed by its Democratic Governor,
and is known as the ''Litigant
Act" Under the benign influence
of this law, litigants are left no
choice as to the paper in which they
shall advertise, and are forced to
pay from three to five times the
amount they would otherwise have
had to pay for such advertising.
And although this iniquitous and
outrageous law still disgraces the
statutes Of Oregon, every Demo
cratic inkslinger in the State, with
unblushing effrontery truly refresh
ing, weekly rehashes sickly twaddle
about the undying opposition Of the
party to grinding monopolies!

On the 18th Of February the
Legislative Assembly Of the king
dom of Hawaii Nei convened in
the Court House at Honolulu, and
after a little preliminary Skirmish-
ing on the part Of the adherents Of
Queen Emma, proceeded to the
election Of a successor to the late
King Lunalilo. Out of the forty
five members constituting the
Assembly, thirty-nine gave their
votes to Prince David Kalakaua,
the remaining members casting
their votes for Queen Emma, the
opposing candidate. The announce.
ment Of the vote was greeted with
cheers and rejoicing by the friends
of the new King, while the adhe-
rants Of the defeated Queen, COM
posed largely ofthe ''sans culottes,'
attacked and sacked the Court
House, and probably would have
murdered the members of the
Legislature, had not squads Of
marines from L. S. and II. B. M.
ships, in response to the request Of
the new King and bis Ministers,
promptly interfered, and oyerawed
the mob. On the 18th the new
King was duly installed, and took
the oath to support the Constitu-
ton. Four days after be appointed
the following Cabinet: His Excel.
lency, Paul Nehaolelua, Minister
of Finance; William L. Green,

Islands, King David has selected
as bis successor to the Hawaiian
throne his brother, William Pitt

with the title OF "His Royal

In the platform of principles
adopted by the Democratic State
Convention held in this city last
week, appears resolutions asking
Congressional aid in building Ger.
tain railroads in Oregon. The first
plank in the platform brings the
party back to one Of the slime
honored principles" of bedrock
Democracy, and enunciates the an
cient doctrine
and we affirm that the peo-
ule of the several States have the sole and
exclusive right of governing themselves
as free, sovereign and independent States,
subject only to the limitations Of the Com
stitution, and that all powers not herein
expressly granted to the national govern
ment, are reserved to the States respect
lively, etc.
As no man ever has or ever will
find any shadow of authority for
saying that the Constitution of the
United States anywhere expressly
gives to Congress the power to
grant aid to railroads, it would seem
that this great Democratic Conven-
ton has attempted, in q jolarious
m ood, to make game Of the people
Of Oregon. It first enunciates the
principle that Congress has no right
to do q certain thing, and follows
up that enunciation BY asking Con-
gress to do that very thing. How
ever, as inconsistency latterly has
been . marked trait Of the Demo
cratic party, we suppose we shall
be compelled to place this among
the many other glaring incOnsisten-
cles in the Democratic platform,
and charge it to the 'snew depart
ure" policy, since the adoption Of
which the average Democrat has
been unable to tell what principles
are and what are not avouched by
the party.

Grover for Governorl This is
the old lady who told the Con-
vention, with outstretched hands,
that she had been lsboring tor
twenty.three years for the principles
contained in the platform !! The
platform pledges the Democratic
party to the repeal Of the Litigant
Act. A law was passed by the
last Legislature repeating this law,
but her Excellency vetoed il. But
she had the cheek to come before
the Convention and say:
Mr.. Chairman and gentlemen Of
the Convention: lou are not In any
temper to listen to a speech. nor are
you here now to engage in any such
business. | wish to say only that l
recognize in all the resolutions the

principles for which / have fought and
struggled for % years in the State of
Oregon, and there is not an element
In those resolutions which l do not
recognize as all old friend for which /
have fought, and will continue to
fight.
If the possession of clean cut au-
dacity and unbleached mendacity
is the chief qualification for office
in Oregon, Grover possesses both
in all their pristine vigor, and is
clearly entitled to all the benefits
arising from their constant practice
''tor the past twenty-three years."

From the opening Of the Demo
crstic State Convention TO its close,
it was evident to the dullost CON-
prahepsion, that the Grover ring
Ind perfect control oft. The can
4idates for the several State Offices
had been selected before hand, and
were put through regardless Of
''taste or EXPENSE or any lack of
fitness for the positions. The ring
candidate for Treasurer came with
in an ace Of being beaten, as was
charged by Democrats, by the free
use Of coin. Democrats stated pub
licly on the streets that Fleischner
expended several thousand dollars
"fixingn delegates; but unfortunate
ly for him the ring got wind Of it and
went into the ''fixing'' business just
in time to save their man. 1t was
a close shave--60 to 81. 1t was
the most corrupt Convention, if we
are to believe halt the stories afloat
during its session and since its sd
journment, set atloat, too, by Dem
ocrsts, that was ever held in
Oregon. Delegates said publicly
that they couldn't afford to come
here for nothing, and they didn't
propose to. However, we can
afford to be lenieat With them, as
the ticket they placed in nomina-
tion'Rill be terribly beaten next
June.
The Albany register. [volume] (Albany, Or.) 1868-18??, 1874-03-28

We affirm that the greatest danger
with which we are now threatened is the
corruption and extravagance which exists
in high official places; and we do declare,
as the cardinal principle of our future po-
ltical action that retrenchment, economy,
and reform are imperatively demanded in
all the Governments Of the people, FEEDER
al, as well as State and municipal; and we
here proclaim ourselves the euncompromis-
ing foes of ring politicians, and land mo-
nOp0lists, whoever they may be, and wher-
ever they may be found, whether they are
in Office or ont, and we appeal to honest
men everywhere, without regard to past
political Affiliations, to join us In branding
as they deserve these corrupt leeches on
the body polite, and assisting us to purge
official stations of their holesomeness
and baneful presence. 4
The above is the second plank in
the Democratic platform, adopted by
the Grover ring that assembled in
this city a few days since and styled
themselves The Oregon Democratic
State Convention. Notoriously
tie Convention was run and
managed throughout by Grover
and his ring, nominating Grover
and his pets for all the positions to
be filed at the June election.
These being truths that cannot be
successfully controverted, the
of the above resolution
shows the immensity of "cheek"
by the ring. A ring OF
notoriously corrupt and venal
political wire-pullers and office
seekers assemble in solemn con-
clave, and resolve that "we here
proclaim ourselves the uncompro-
missing tOeS!of ring politicians" is
a spectacle of such sumbline impu.
dence as to call forth the envy of
even a Boss Tweed. 1t certainly
is uDapprOachable by any similar
event either ancient or modern.
