A CHRISTOPHER SUGGESTION:

n GRAHSHOPPER SUGGES1ION.
EDITOR ADVANCE: Permit me a
few words on the grassllopper problem,
in your paper. This is Il time when
every heart is looking anxiously for
some practical mode Of meeting this
emergency, and feel called upon to
cast in my mite.
Many ways looking to the destruc-
ton of the grasshOppers have been adj
vanced, which, 50 tar as they so, would
be all right had we not the vast plains
west and north Of us that are many
times larger than the ground on which
we can cope with them, and from Which
they hatch and come down upon us.
Our only resource then is i'll preventing
these invasions. And does not their
natural trait of avoiding i timber
country point to the best method of ac-
complislling this result? Then why
not fight them III their weak point and
line Of their invasion in Minnesota we
find the timber belt checks their devas-
tatiOn. The same is true in Iowa, Mis-
souri, and Texas, as | learn from differ
ent sources, and l have it from Il
East have the same trait. Then our
safeguard is timber. And let me pre-
sent to our county and to all afflicted
with transformers, plan by which this
may be reached. and at. the same time
repay it's cost in FIVE different. ways.
To illustrate this plan will take one
township of six miles square. We will
put belt of timber one rod wide
around eacl. quarter section, and to do
this we find the following expenses ill.,
Cured:
Breaking $50 acres 0s300. $50
Preparing same for trees. 450
Cost OF trees, 2OO) per acre .. 800
Cost Of planting trees, S0
This gives us total cost Of. leo
for each township. This should he met
by the government, and for the amount
expended the counties each to give
their bond without interest, to be paid
at such time as would be thought best
i'll future, and when all the lands will
he under taxation, thus making it light
for all.
This to me seems the only practical
way that this great calamity can he
avoided and future prosperity insured,
for should aid be distributed, as is
talked of, we shall he liable to need it
again and again, and something must
be done soon OF this country will be de-
serted by this brave and industrious
people, who arc now destitute of the
wherewitli to live and clotlle themselves.
believe the government may he in
duced to enter into such an arrange
nlent if the proper steps are taken.
Tie five ways I mentioned above in
which TIE amount SO expended would
Ike repaid, are: :;
/. Destruction by grasshoppers would
be avoided.
| 2. In the value of the timber.
8. In the more abundant crops.
4. In the immigration it would bring.
2. lii the beauty added to the country.
Plenty Of instances are met with
where timber has saved the whole crop.
One farm, OH the Sioux River belonging
to Mr.. Keep escaped entirely, lie told
me, Ivy being surrounded by timber.
Mr.. Evems, Of Center Grove, Dickinson
County, Iowa, has had the same expe.
riemce, and several others in that cou,l.
~ and also in Clay County, Iowa. Let
us hope that in this OF some other way
we shall more than meet tile emergency.

REPRESENTATIVE TICKET.
For Representative District,
Oh. SMITH, OF Cottonwood.
THE ELECTIONS.

THE ELECTIONS.
The Republican victory inOhio is
clean sweep. Barnes is elected by
about 1000 majority, and the rest OF
the ticket by about 10000. Barnes
was obnoxious to the liquor element,
because he WAS recognized temper
ance leader. The Republicans gain
five congressman sure, and two con-
tested.
Indiana is divided between the two
parties.
The Democrats elect Blue Jeans
Williams governor by over 5000 major
ity. The Republicans elect 4 majority
to the Legislature and gain four men,
bers of congress. Republicans are con-
fldent that the State will be carried for
Hayes and Wheeler. In 1872, Indiana
elected Hendricks, Democrat, COVER
nor, but in November the State gave
Grant over $4,000 majority. The Re-
publicaas have practically gained the
State by securing the legislature and
the congressional delegation In the
last legislature the Democrats had a
majority of 1e on joint ballot. III the
present legislature the Republicans
will have majority Of at least on
joint ballot. In the presen: congress
sional delegation there are Democrats
and 5 Republica IS. In the one just
elected, the Republicans have 8 or 8
and the Democrats or s, as the con-
tested district may determine.
Colorado has gone Republican by a
small majority, and West Virginia
Democratic.
The indications at present are that
the next House. Of Congress will he
Republican. and there is scarcely a
doubt of the election of Hayes and
Wheeler. So the payment of the rebel
war debt and the Southern claims will
be deferred a while.
