TEMPERANCE LECTURE.

Last Thursday evening Major H. A.
Calkins, associate editor of the State
Sentinel, a temperance paper published
at Leavenworth, lectured on the subject
of temperance at the NJ. E. Church. He
took strong grounds in opposition to
licensing dram shops, giving statistics as
to the amount of money annually spent
in the United States for alcohol-which
was neither food nor drink-and in view
of the crimes, expense and vast amount
of restitution, suffering and degradation
that followed its sale and use, urged the
necessity of prohibition. Licensing the
sale of intoxicating liquors, he said, was
not claimed by its ablest defenders to be
right, but was advocated as matter of
and he urged that we should
be governed by principle and not expe.
The lecturer made 3 good re-
ply to the absurd arguments which We
50 ofaen hear, giz: that 70 increase the
and use of wine and beer
would decrease the amount of drunken
ess. Altogether the lecture was good
one. the most of which We can heartily
endorse. We think, however, the lee
turer is greatly mistaken when he asserts
that the important and living issue in
the next Presidential campaign will be
the temperance question. Temperance
is not properly political issue, and the

stood out in bold relief against the dark
background. the cold lines of the monu-
ments being clearly delineated. After
the audience was dispersed, the gas was
turned of, with the exception of two
jets Immediately above the wounded
man, and the scene there presented-the
sufferer, the wife, the few faithful friends,
while over all shone the pale quivering
rays of light, all contributed to form q
spectacle, once seen, never to be forgotten
and calculated to teach the sad lesson
that death may visit US even in the
midst of our pleasures.

cause has been. and ever will be weaken
ed by dragging it into politics. There
are good conscientious temperance men
in all parties and creeds. and their great
work is to educate public sentiment
against this evil and not to elect a few
of their number to Office. It is not leg
islation that is needed in favor of tenn
perance, for We already have law that
is in advance of public sentiment. So
educate the public that they will be as
ready to enforce the law against dram
selling as against horse stealing and
there will be no difficulty in securing
prohibitory laws.
Major Calkins is, Of course, canvassing
for the State Sentinel, and as temperance
papers are great help in bringing pub
lie opinion up to the enforcement of the
law, we recommend it to our readers
who are interested in the advancement
of the cause of Temperance.

Robert Anderson, an old resident of
California, while on his way to the Pres
byterian General Assembly which meets
at Cleveland, Ohio, this month, made a
short visit this week to relatives and old
acquaintance in our city. He speaks
very favorably of California, but thinks
the emigration to that State too large, as
the prospect for crops is not near 60 good
as in former years.

THE 0RASSHoPPERs.

These pests are still with although
those Matched out early are reported as
disappearing-and along the creeks and
rivers are doing considerable damage to
oats and fax. It is not generally be-
lieved that they will do serious injury
to the crops taking the county over, fol-
SO far as can be learned of their habits
they commence travelling as soon as they
can fly; but they are liable to invade
other States and do great damage to the
crops, and We are in favor of killing
these pests thereby settling the question
as to when they will leave us and pre-.
venting them from doing any injury to
our neighbors. Ifevery person who can
would take part in the work we believe
all the grasshoppers in the county could
be killed in few days. In different
parts of the State organized companies
are fighting them with success. Various
methods are used for killing them, such
as putting hay and straw in front of
them in the evening upon which they
readily climb to roost when they are
burned after night; or digging bitches
the shape Of "V' and stretching can
vass on the outside and driving the hop
pers into them when they are easily de-
stroyed. Another way which is said to
be quite successful in gathering them is
to take a hoop and put it in the
mouth of -four sack and put a handle
to it, when by stirring mp the pests and
swinging this sack around they can be
captured by the thousands. As the
grasshoppers are only i'll certain locali-
tiles and keep together we think by an
orgaEized effort they could be destroyed,
not only in this county, but throughout
the State. When they were here before
they left without doing any great dam
age, and they may do 10 again, but fear
ing they will not great many people
are very blue and want to run away
from them. What are grasshoppers that
they should not be made to fear the
wrath of man? Farmers and everybody
else, what do you say to waging a war of
upon them? 1t would be
better to destroy them than to have
them destroy the crops.

"A petition was presented to the
City Council last Monday evening by J.
B. Arnett for license to keep a dram
shop. It.had sixty-five signatures which
the Council considered legal, and few
others which they rejected. A remon-
STRANGE was also presented containing
one hundred and eighty-four signatures,
nineteen of which were marked of by
the Council, leaving one hundred and
a majority of one hundred
against granting license. The Council
refused to grant license, and now the
question is, will we in the future, as has
been the case in the past, have saloons
without city license? We give it up.
