Truly Providence has chosen
the weak things Of this world
to confound the mighty. What
creature is more insignificant
than the grasshopper? The He
brew poet long ago chose him to
express the abject decrepitude of
old age, when even the grasshopper
becomes Il "burden" to man. And
now the Great West of the United
States, the West which has SO long
been paraded by us before the uni
verse as the grandest and most ir-
resistible product Of our Democratic
civilization, has been brought to its
knees by the grasshopper! The
spectacle of the Governor Of the
great State Missouri, the fifth in
rank of the States of the Union, APP
pointing a day of fasting, humila-
ton and prayer for deliverance from
the grasshoppers, is one of the most
curious and suggestive imaginable.
We have heretofore read OF the To-
Gusts of Egypt and the white ants
of Western Africa with sort of
languid, half-incredulous feeling Of
superiority to those Old World re-
gions. And now comes wretched
little skip jack of ala insect, and in
the twinkling of an eye makes our
census ridiculous, and turns our
pride into panic.

The Washington National Republic
can says: The firm conviction of two
thirds of every American community,
be it large or small, that each individ-
ual member thereof is capable OF edit
ing and publishing newspaper of eX-
traordinary acceptability, is one of the
chronic receptions of popular belief
The fact that newspapers are the pro-
duct of human thought and human la
Dor, renders it impossible that they
should be so perfect in every regard as
to meet the requirements of human
criticism. Ambitious youngsters the
oriZing aged men, devoted women and
solicitous people of all conditions earn
estly believe that they are able not on
ly to serve themselves in the newspa-
per business by making money, but
advance the interest of their fellow
men by the advocacy of especial doc
trines. The repeated failures of such
enterprises do not shake their faith or
self-contidence. They must know that
success is the exception, and, if they stop
to reason, that skill, the result of care
full training in every branch of the bus
mess, including the most minute de-
tails, is the absolute prerequisite to that
success. Friends who may promise to
yield helping hand to enterprises OF
this kind are Invariably "unable to ac-
commodate" when the pinch comes, and
the experience of the civilized world
shows only those Journals are establish
ed on permanent basis which are con-
trolled by adroit business managers
and edited by Independent spirits who
strive to please rather than command
and who yield personal prejudice to the
evident bent of the public mind. To dc
all this and maintain a reputation fol
consistency is at once difficult and
dangerous task.
