Ed. Anti-Monopolist:
seTime works wonders" and in one weeks
time it has worked obstruction to this little
settlement The grasshoppers commenced
lighting here just one week ago to-day, at
0 re o'clock commenced eating the crops of
every kind except tomatoes. Wheat, oats
and corn soon look ed as if fire had scorched
them. In some places the stalks of grain
fell to the ground with the weight of the
hoppers upon them. The pests are now
laying their eggs by the wholesale, so that
you can imagine our prospects are for a
crop next year.
Men who have lost two or three success
sive crops find all their means exhausted
In some cases they are mortgaged to the
last cent and have no means of getting away
and all hopes are blasted for next year. In
some localities the entire population are 60
ing to leave some with no intention OF re-
turning and some for one year. But what
can these latter do? They leave here and by
the time they are fairly settled elsewhere they
must return to find their land grown to
weeds and their buildings torn down by th'
lawless ones who remain behind.
If the 'hoppers would leave to-morro"
| some would harvest 6 or I bus. OF whea
per acre and have some corn and potatoes
left. But the weather is unfavorable ant
they are doing nothing but eating and lay'n'
eggs. Their course aims westward; the.
Will rise at times and seem to leave, bu
others take their places. The strip owe
run is from forty to sixty miles wld
an.l the Lord alone knows how long. Their
will be no chance to form Wheat Rings /
this part Of the country until after the mex
presidential election at least, hope by tha
time we will get rid Of both the Spectator
and 'hoppers.
am very Respectfully Yours,

Political Gossip.

It is stated by the knowing ones that E.
W. bikes friends are at work to make him
Treasurer in spite of Democratic and Re-
publican Conventions. The Anti-Monopo-
lists, at the State Convention in September,
are expected to nominate Mr.. Dixie for
State Treasurer. When Dixie is thus in the
field the programme will be to persuade
Albert Scheffer to withdraw from the Dem
Ocratic ticket in Dlke's favor. It will b.
argued that Scheffer cannot win, and h'
might as well step aside for a man who has
a chance. Dixie is thought to be that man

afford. 1t is too great sacrifice for the
small returns received
He is a narrow, bitter partisan. Be
tween Davis and Pillsbury, what a gulf!
The former man of acknowledged talent
and rare scholastic attainments, by virtue
of which he can reflect honor upon the
State on any occasion demanding allusion
to her interests; the latter without any
specific culture, remarkable for nothing 80
much as for unfinching tenacity to the de-
cining Republican party. But. Mr.. Editor,
if the people fairly comprehend the con-
dition Of things, wiser counsels will prevail,
and we will place at the helm a man Of
whom we shall not feel to hang our heads
in sore modification. Let the ANTI MoNo-
poL1sr reach every home and I have no
fears.

Bad State Of Affairs in Cottonwood County,

MOUNTAIN LAKE, CoTroNwooD Co., MINI,
July 10Th.
Ed. ,Aah- Monopolist:
The grasshopper raid is pretty much past
here now. They have deposited their eggs
here by the bushel. Some OF the papers re-
pont tslight damages through this county
They had better come in here with their
loose change and invest in standing crops;
they, can get thousands of acres for 81 90
per acre, wheat oats and corn. There are
some fields that look as though they would
be worth cutting but it is hard to tell yet
whether the grain will be fit for market or
MOI, for the leaves are entirely gone off the
stalks and the wheat in the milk Whether
there is life enough IN the stalk to fill out
and irpen up what berry there is left is the
question now. 1t is week or ten days be-
hind, whit it would have been if the hop
pers had STAYED away. There are some
fields of potatoes that are not damaged very
much others are eaten to the ground
There sill be some corn but it has been
badly damaged.
Tha choppers were here seventeen days.
Theenounty will be pretty much depopulated
this winter, unless the Mennonites settle
here; they can get farms cheap just now;

Nearly month has passed since the
Democratic state-ticket was nominated, and
so far as outward appearance goes not even
ripple has been made toward organizing
our scattered forces. Neither the State
Committee nor the candidates have had
meeting since the Convention. There are
numerous frontier counties where there has
never been an attempt to organize the Dem
ocratic voters in some of which there have
never even been printed Democratic tickets.
The frontier is our weak point, both as re
CARDS want of organization and also as to
illegal voting; and there is the Republican
stronghold Sueur Sentinel dem.
We think Mr.. Buell. and his associates
should lose no time in perfecting an organ
ization that will secure the attendance a,
the polls of all who oppose the present ad-
ministration. full and united vote Of
the opposition will result in the defeat Of
the Republicans at the coming election
