for the young grasshoppers of 1875, and those
pests were obliged to leave growing plants,
which produced about 81, 900, 600 bushels of
grain. The St. Paul Pioneer Press estimates
that of this crop Is, 900, coo bushels will be for

THE SPANISH sQUABBLE.


We suppose it is nowin order 10 drop
few tears over the demise Of the
Spanish Republic. We never thought
it much of a Republic. 1t was too
positive and forcible in its style of gov
erning. In fact, we always INDUCED
half notion that the escaped Commun.
lists of Paris had found refuge in Mad
rid. However, the Republican, kindly
fostered by the American GoYeInment
and the American press. Washburne
welcomed it, Sickles sucked It, and
Grant and Fish treated It tenderly even
though it slapped US in the face in re-
turn for our ready recognition Of it
among the family Of nations. We may
ask, What's in a name? till
echo refuse to answer, and still
we Americans love the name republi-
can, whether it cover military despo-
tism in France or in Louisiana. We
cling to the name till the last. But,
alas, Spain is no longer a republic even
in name. While Don Carlos holds re-
gal sway in the North, the late Repub-
lcan Ministry at Madrid, with the Cap
tain General, have unanimously pro-
claimed Isabella's Alfonso King in the
South. Whether this sudden change
of front by the Madrid politicians will
ALLEVIATE morerepubicans than it recon-
Giles royAlists, may be speedily de-
veloped. At least the contest is lar-
rowed down to two kings, two Bour-
bOns, the Sale and the anti-Salic. The
Carlist war now assumes the phase of
forty years ago. The contesting claims
Of the two kings hinge on the old
Sale law of Philip V, which forbade
females occupying the throne. In 1880
Ferdinand VII having had four wives
with no result but a daughter, abroga-
ted this Old law at his royal pleasure,
and made Isabella, mother of the now
rising Alfonso, his heir, thus excluding
his own big brother Don Carlos. Sub
sequently, on a sick bed, Ferdinand re-
stored the law; but, on recovering, was
again persuaded to annul it. The
Carlist argument is that no king has
power to abrogate a constitutional law
of the realm, and that a free constitu.
ent Cortes, representative Of the Jseros
Of Spain, has never been permitted to
act on the matter.

WESTERN courts have held that q
railroad time table is a contract entered
into by the company, and that there is
a responsibility for damages when it is
not complied with. Any traveller may
sue for any loss occasiOned by train

right be generally enforced the eOmpa-
MES would soon be overwhelmed with
litigation. This winter the Legisla-

THE Irish World deplores the loss II
membership Of the Roman Catholic
Church in this country. 1t says there
were 100000 persons Of that faith in
the United States in 1886, and that
now there are about 100000, while
the number of those who Fought TO be
Catholics by right Of descent from set
tlers in this country from the begin
ming, and who to-day are to be found
among the sects or in the ranks of
nothingarianism" Is estimated at Is
100000. The World does not attribute
this result to the activity or attractive
ness Of rival religions, but seeks a rea-
son Of broader nature. 1t says: Had
Ireland been independent two centu-
ries ago, had the early Irish settlers in
America settled on this continent an
der the protecting shadow Of the green
flag, instead Of the blighting ensign Of
England, those colonies, swellcd by the
Irish exodus Of ten years, would to-day
be great Irish-American States, and
the country would be a great Catholic
power"

THE Boston Advertiser, staunch Re

expect It to contribute one iota toward
restoring public confidence. The party
that opposes it viii have every adyan-
tage in discussion before the people.
The Republicans viii have an addi-
tional blunder 70 explain. 1t requires
no acuteness 10 perceive that the bill
does not mean specie resumption, but
is merely a device to postpone the
question ill after the Presidential
election. Such postponement Of the
financial problem may suit the politi-
clans, but it means tagging industries,
tagging commerce, hating enterprise
and continued depression.
