The serious problem involved in this

all good citizens the apprehension to
which the grasshoppers give rise. I be-
leive the time has arrived when an Or

action of saate, county and township
authorities is not only justified but de.
manded by due regard to the public
welfare; and it is my intention to earn
estly commend the subject in my next
annual message to the prompt and
thorough consideration of the legisla.

action as in thir judgment will best
contribute to the end desired
The latest reports, it is true, encourage
the hope that the pests are about take
ing their departure for the presant sea

bids the conviction that they will not
hereafter reappear in equal numbes.
In view of the magnitude Of the inter-

states and territories directly suffering
from grasshoppers ravages, with the
hope of obtaining concert Of action in
furtherance of an object common to all.

The accomplishment of the extraordi-

fer the completeness Of its structure,
the perfection of its equipment, the
most exact expedients for speed, all
modern improvements for comfort and
ingenious combinations for safety, on
the face of the globe, should be the
Great Ft. Wayne & Pennsylvania road.
How we'll, truly and faithfully has
that promise been kept, may be judged
by the crownipg triumph in the great
