Editors of the Register.
The past summer has been very rainy
and some extreme heat. The crops were
only a moderate yield. Wheat was the
heaviest yield-rates at Sl.05 per bushel.
Grass was also fair crop. Oats light.
Corn in some places good; in other parts
comparatively very light. Fruit very
plenty, especially apples. Potatoes are
are light crop-two causes probably in
terfered with the crop, viz bugs and ex-
cess of rain. There has been consid-
cradle number OF acres seeded to wheat
this fall, and looks promising.
Some of the citizens have gone to the
Centennial, while quite a number have
remained at home intending to vote for
Tilden and Hendricks. I.

A Prospective Congressman.

We are exceedingly pleased to see the
name of d. w. Wilder brought forward
by some of our exchanges as the one to
put OH the ticket, in this Congressional
district as the successor of Judge J. r.
Goodin in the House. In looking over
the ground carefully, we can find no
man in the Second Congressional District
who combines 50 many qualities required
in Congressman as d. w. Wilder, and
we most heartily endose the presentation
of his name for the position. Wilder is
an old Kansan, is thoroughly familiar
with the wants of his constituency, and
possesses force of character, thought and
ability as a speaker, sufficient to promote
those interests in satisfactory manner,
and work for their contamination.
Perhaps there is not to-day . man in
Kansas who possesses equal Kansas
knowledge with Wilder, and his personal
popularity, and the prestige of having
heretofore been successful man in poll
tics, and thoroughly honest one, gives
him q strength superior to any public
man in the District. Mr.. Wilder is also
A Reformer in the broadcast sense of the
word, vet he is a Republican Reformer
who believes as we do that the whole his
tory of the Republican party has been
one of progressive reform, and that the
questionable acts of individual members
Of the party in no way faint the grand
principles Of the organization.
Although at present a resident OF To
peka on account of the demands of his
official uosition he ia n citizen of Fort
Scott, and would hold all the advantages
of a Southern Kansas man, made use o
by Goodin in his recent campaign. MIR
Wilder is q man of the people, with
total absence of Miss. Nancy in his com
position, and if elected to Congress hi
interests would be the peoples interests
He is not seeker for the position, and
can in no sense be called politician
anv further than any patriot who take
| an interest in the political welfare of hi
State, can be called politician.-Ottdwt

LegiSl ative Summary.
From the Topeka Commonwealth. ]

From the Topeka Commonwealth.
On Monday the Senate spent consider.
able time in committee of the whole, and
debated the uestion of the destructIbility
of the grasshopper. This interesting
beast was brought to the notice of the
Senate by Mr.. Trademarks bill providing
for a county bounty of five dollars q
bushel for locust eggs and sixty cents a
bushel for unfedged locusts. Mr.. Hal
derman stated that he had drawn the
bill at the suggestion of Prof. c. V. Riley
State Entemologist of Missouri. Other
senators did not, however, respect Prof
Riley's opinions. Senator CrichtOn
thought it better in times of grasshopper
invasion to call out the militia, and Sen.
atOr Hopkins argued, substantially, that
the grasshopper could not be subjugated
by military force, or even by coal oil.
The bill was finally referred to the com.
mittee on agriculture. Several bill.
were laid over to await the return OF
absent senators.
The house did fair days work. A
large number of bills were introduced
The house in committee of the whole,
Mr. Cook in the chair, discussed H. B
No. 5, in regard to testing the constitu
tionality of the act of 1866 giving 500,
600 acres of public lands to railroads. anG
