THE GOVERNMENT FINANCES.

The receipts OF the Government for the
first nine months Of the current fiscal year,
were S225, 09l, $40. The expenditures were
500 223 ,5l5. These are exclusive of tran
sactions concerning the public debt, in the
matter Of redemption of bonds, &c, which
do not alter the account. The customs re-
ceipts for ten months and half, ending
Nav Il, 1870, were Sl3l, 134, los; internal
revenue, Sl02, l75.27S. The miscellaneous
receipts have kept steadily up TO expecta-
tons; customs receipts have fallen below,
above the estimate. The Secretary OF the
Treasury has scvcnty-onc millions of gold,
from which he must yet make provision 10
meet the sinking fund call, and twenty-five
millions OF which remain unpaid. The
interest ceases on called bonds on June IL.
1t is estimated that SD 00l 900 will vet be
received from customs before July /, and
from this and gold on hand must come the
payment of Sa5,0O0,O00 for July interest.
1t is evident that the sinking fund pay
ments will create a deficit, and throw some
of the Treasury warrants into the next ifs
cal year; but the Secretary OF the Treasury,
with such an abundant supply OF coin on
hand, may sell gold and realize currency
enough to make a clean sheet at the end OF
the fiscal year. A deficit in the Treasury
does not mean bankruptcy. 1, only means
paying out more money than is received,
being practically an error in the original es-
Inmates.

THE PLAGUE.

Every newspaper is troubled about the
grasshopper plague. The East is thorough
" frightened, and not without cause, Tor
the selfish and festive hoprers are now on
their way to Illinois, Iowa, Missouri and
other States east OF Us.
In Kansas we are endeavoriag to discover
some method Of destroying the pests. Va
rious ways have been suggested and tried,
but, after all, it must he acknowledged that
the grasshoppers are plucky, and seem de-
termined to live. They have been swept
into bitches, coal oil and hot water poured
on them, but they stagger Tor moment
only, gradually revive, and soon hop around
as lively as.ever. 1t is said that coal tar is
certain destruction, and persons who have
tried it in this city recommend its Use. Bat
prevention is much better than the cure"
is true in this as in all other evils, and
recognizing this fact, the New York Graphic
saws
The spread Of IocIsi> Tor the last ten years has
been largely due Ia the increased areas under
cultivation furnishing them choicer food and the i'm
mense destruction of grouse wild turkeys and other
birds which feed upon them. The destruction OF
the prairie hen has been carried ON 20 such an eN
tent that they have almost disappeared from the
vast districts where they were once plenty. In Kill
ling them the farmers have invited the invading
grasshOppcr come and possess the land. There Is
a great deal of talk now about some patent means
for DESTROYING the locusts by the wholesale No
such si,cchc has vet been discovered and all the
I.Tence OF the East goes show that the chief de-
pendence must he put upon natural causes. II we
kill the bird that eateth the worm, must either
eat the worm ourselves expect the To eat
There is no alternative Ii destroy the wild
fowl by the thousands and ship them 10y the ton,
must cope rs best with the supply OF provis-
ions nature LAS made for them. There is no Ohec-

in their season, except IN small numbers, for the

CTasshopper than anything yet devised. And ~ fast
as the wild fowl is driven hack 10y cultivation, do
m1stic fowls and birds should lie introduced. The
only way TO conquer Nature is Ivy obeying Nature.
This is undoubtedly true, and should be
needed by all farmers. Let this class of
people see that the game laws are strictly
enforced. The Graphic is not the only
daily in New York that is taking an inter-
est in the grasshopper plague. Even the
brokers are anxious TO hear from the scenes

SUNDAY.

To-day Is observed throughout the whole
Christian world, Z. day OF PRAYER and
rest. After Tie basy week, the laboring
man is glad to have one day 10 devote 10 his
family, and TO his private affairs. The
business man is willing to lay aside his ac-
counts, and devote twenty -four hours TO his
own amusement or rest, and on this day the
minister is the only being who performs any
work, but he does it, not through sefishness,
but for the love of God and liberal salary.
The summer days approaching, the beer gar,
dens have already opened, and our German
friends, once a week, flock to the shady
groves to enjoy cool glass OF lager and
social chat Many Americans object Il
this, but as long as order is preserved, and
no mans rights are interfered with, We car
think of no reasonable objection. The Sun
day law is very strict, but as it is not en-
f. -ced, it does not effect any class OF people

IN NEW ORLEANS.

\ good deal has been said Of late about
want and suffering in New Orleans Its
stated that working people are reduced to
bcsgary, that trade is dead, commerce
stagnant, and that persons belonging to the
better classes are dying from want OF food.
A portion of the Democratic press has
made haste to attribute this 10 the national
administration.
Not only does the New Orleans Republi-
oom absolutely and unequivocally deny that
the general government is responsible for the
condition OF things in that city, but it also
denies that there is any such destitution and
suffering in New Orleans as has been repre-
sented. Things are not As deplorable as it
has pleased the Democratic press TO paint
them. OF course there are many poor peo-
pile in that city. 1t never was remarkable
Tor its equal distribution OF property. Its
lower and laboring classes were always more
or less pinched for means. But the war
waged by the Southern wing of the Democ-
racy, aided and abetted by the Northern,
filled the whole South with paupers. Still,
with all the want, suffering and misery
which the Southern people voluntarily i'm
posed upon themselves, and from which
they still feel the effects, in New Orleans as
elsewhere, instead OF using their strength
and time 10 repair their fortunes, they have,
at least until quite recently, spent both
their time and strength in abusing the Gov

PURE DEMOCRACY.

eve venture to say that there Is not an
Office in this city or county Of the least
prominence, 10 which 4 person has been
elected during the last four years, which
has not cost the incumbent a sum larger
than the salary or fees for the whole term.
What wonder then that officials are not al

The St. Louis Tines is responsible for the
above statement, and we do not feel dispOs-
ed to doubt or contradict it, coming, As it
does from so high Democratic authority.
Ii will be rememtered that 81. Louis, for
the last few wears, has been Democratic, a
nomination by convention of that party
being equivalent to an election. In view
of this fact, the above admission from the
Times mist be sad one TO all Democrats.
Think OF it, is it not damning to a party
that has controlled all elections during the
time mentioned, TO say that ''there is not an
Office in the city or county, to which per
son has been elected during the past four
wears, that has not cost the incumbent a
larger sum than the fees or salaries for the

officer to live? lie surely does not seek
the Office for the honors, and politicians
are net generally patriotic enough to serve
their couRtry for nothing. They are COM
PEELED to make the Office pay, and As a re-
suit, the people are robbed, by men who
obtain power by promises of reform. St.
Louis surely enjoys good government, but
we do not envy her. We beg to be excused
from serving party that encourages steal
ing among officials. The Times has told
the truth for once, and the citizens of the

CROPS IN MARION COUNTY.

FLORENCE, KAN, May 20, 1873.
EDrroR TINES We have never had
better prospect for an abundant harvest in
Marion county than at the present writing.
Winter wheat, OF which large breadth has
been sown, has never looked more promis-
ing. j; has so lar escaped Winter frosts,
clinch bugs, grassnoppers and all Very
little Spring wheat has been sown, a ex-
perience has proven 10 our farmers that
Winter wheat is much the safer crop.
Early planted crops, in some instances, have
rutted in the ground, and had TO be re-
planted, but are now looking lively. Oats
and rye both promise a bountiful harvest,
and quite large breadth has been sown
Orchards are yet too young in our county
10 yield much fruit very few are in bear
ing, but those are in fair way TO yield a
crop. After the terrible devastation Of last
Fall, our farmers as a whole feel very much
elated at the present prospect, and If We are
spared from the grasshoppers until onr
small grain Is garnered, We shall be happy

especially is this the case with the goddess

and that is what makes the matter Eadder
s:ill-but even crops out through the col
umns Of the few Pious journals, like the
Kansas City Time, Tor instance, Of which We
had reason 10 expect better things. Why
is this so? Surely the subject is one tina;
ought to receive the most serious attention
The grasshopper is a burden, and II he can
lie prayed away, why not? The expert
ment will at least lie harmless; pray
ers don't cost anything, and the fasting,

viciuals; 50 while there is nothing TO lose,
there is little 10 gain. Bat some impious
people suggest that instead Of starving and
supplicating, the people OF Missouri had
better double their rations, and work-that
by the aid Of hog and hominy they can
kill more "yarmints" than by faith-but
this is view OF the case that can he had

Is IT A MASSACHUSETTS CELEBRATION

The telegraph yesterday morning inform
ed us that the Centennial Commissioners
had agreed upon programme for the
coming celebration. Charles Francis
Adams, of Massachusetts,, is to be one of the
orators, Ralph Waldo Emerson. of Massa-
chusetts, is TO be the reader Of the Declara-
ton of Independence, and Henry W. Long
fellow, of the same State, is TO be
the poet OF the day. One is compelled to
think that this is a Massachusetts,
and not national celebration. Is there no
patriotism in this country, except what is
found within the borders Of State that
boasted Zen. Butler and an Cakes Ames.
No one denies the fact that Massachusetts
has acted nobly on all occasions, but the
West should have been recognized the same
as the South. Surely, some person in this
section Of the country could have been
found with voice enough 10 read the Dec
laration, or with sense enough to have act
| ed as Master of Ceremonies.

CENSUS AND STATISTICS.

The assessors and township trustees
throughout the State are engaged in COM
piling census and statistical record Of
Kansas. They are only allowed a short
time to perform the work, and, Of course,
there will be errors and mistakes in the re-
turns. This cannot be avoided, but We
hope that the officers will do all in their
power TO make favorable showing for this
grasshopper country. The returns will be
published in pamphlet form, and distribu-
ted over the United States and Europe, to
influence emigrants. The number and i'm
portance Of our manufacturing enterprises
will also he enumerated, and as there is
considerable rivalry among the different
towns, the statements should be very cor
rect. Let every business man do all in his
power to make the work complete, and this
can only be done by making good and true

but wished even Kansas TO be inclrded in

us hope also that the people Of Missouri
will not he silly enough To trust to day o.
