THE LOCUS1Y IN MINNESOTA.

THE LOCUS1Y IN MINNESOTA.
The editor Of the Minneapolis Trib-
une has had Il conversation with Prof.
Thomas OH the locust question, and
publishes an account OF the interview,
from which we extract as follows:
AS to whether or not the present sea-
son will end their depredations in Min
nesota he is not prepared to express an
opinion, but III answer to an inquiry
whether, with the experience our farm
ers have had during the present season,
the locusts could be successfully fought
should 4 new crop appear another
spring, he answered emphatically "Yes;
there is no doubt about it. The farm
ers OF Minnesota can clean out every
locust Ill the state another season, even
ii as plenty rs they arc now i'll portions
Of the state" So far as the danger Of
devastation from migrating swarlns is
concerned, the Professor thinks there
is no reason for anxiety. The danger
to Minnesota has hitherto been in WIS.,
itations from Manitoba and northern
Dakota, and those sections have liter
ally no 'hoppers this year. All that is
necessary for our farmers to do is to
fight the young on their own farms,
and when those have been destroyed or
taken their flight the danger is over.
The Professor makes light of the
fears of some that the 'hoppers have
taken permanent possession in Minne-
sofa, and that they will drive the set
tiers by their depretlations from 4 por-
ton of the state. Even should the eli
matte conditions of a few of the coun-
Ties prove favorable for their prolaga-
ton, which he is by no means prepared
to admit, the Professor remarked that
will, the experience the farmers have
had in combating them, and by aid of
the ingenious mechanical appliances III
the shape Of ''tar~dozers,''. etc., they
would soon obliterate the whole pesti-
lential race.
In brief, Professor Thomas takes a
decidedly rosy view Of the situation,
and sees no occasion whatever for de-
spondency. On tho contrary he be-
lieycs the days Of our tribulation are
nearly numbered, and that the farmers
may safely congratulate themselves
that the worst is over.

The Fourth at Bigelow WAS ushcred
in Ey the firing of anvils at sunrise.
Early in the day the teams commenced
to arrive from all points, and at II
O'Clock there were fully five or six hun
dred present to witness the procession
of Fantasies. Then followed, at noon,
a short game of base ball 10y The Little
Rock club, BigeloW club, and the train
boys. Dinner was served Immediately
afterwards, and was a decided success
in every respect. Then came the fast
horse race, II. II. Belknap taking the
prize, but OH the slow race the country
chaps had to give in, and we take pride
inreporting the fact that the prize for
the slow race was kept in town. The
match game of base ball between the
Little Rock and Bigelow clubs resulted
in favor of the Little Rock club by a
score of II to 81. The entertainment of
the day was followed by the presentation
Of the drama, "Odds with the Enemy"
in the evening, which was a decidedsuc-
cess in every way, each one sustaining
tl'eirpart in very creditab]e manner.
The large audience remained during the
entire performance, and the hearty ap-
plause given during, and at the close, of
the piece is sufficient evidence of their
appreciation. The number present dur
ing the day and evening was estimated
to be nearly one thousand. No accident
occurred to mar the pleasure of the day,
and, SO far rs we can learn, every one
enjoyed themselves, and will long re-
member the Fourth at Bigelow.

MONEY AND MORTGAGES.

Tho Journal makes Il bitter attack
upon the Mcssrs. Smith, Of the Bank of
Wortl'ington, for Selling some proper
ty under clattel mortgage. We know
nothing about the matter, but we are
informed that the Messrs. Smith, Pc.
ter Thompson and ono or two other
parties had cllattol mortgages on the
same property and that tho bankers
merely took steps to secure themselves.
OF tho merits Of the case we know
ssothing. But the Journal attack upon
these business men is altogether the
vilest attack we have seen even in that
paper.
As7tO our position on this matter Of
chattel mortgages we refer our readers
to the ADVANCE of last winter wher
the law relating to chattei mortgages
was changed. They will remember
that wetook strong grounds against
what was called the 'cut-tl,roat chat
tel mortgage" system and favored tl,t
passag &c Of tho new law under which
seizures must bc made by al officer ant
then only after due notice.
They will also re- member that we tool
strong ground against tho passage o
Donnelly's usury bill as calculated t,
work especial hardship and disaster t.
the newer counties like our own. Tn
law passed and We are now sufferin.
tho consequences. Thousands of dol
lars which would have come into Til

We would like to ask tie Liberal
League, of Minneapolis. what they
propose saying about it, in case the To-
Gusts do not destroy the crops this
year? We suppose they will say that
prayer fhaa nothing to do with it and
that an ''immutable" law cannot be
changed by human request. But what
puzzles US about this view is this: II
the locusts are hero by immutable'
Inv how can they ever get away If the
law is ''immutable?' We beg the
League not to condemn us to an etcr.
nal and immutable grasshopper.

RUNNING THE MACHINE.

The Jackson Republic, in an article
on the Presidents. order excluding fed
,eral officers fromsan activepart in mar
aging campaignstandru thepar-
by machine, says, 3; q D
ka Ifsshutting the mouth 4Aof efficient
workers Will have the tendency to lift
politics out of the cesspools, then by
all means should they be shut up in ne
bosom of their families and remain
there until after the next campaign.
But it will seem odd to have the next
Congressional convention assemble and
in looking around for a. G.. Smith, of
Rochester, learn that he is chained in
some dark and dingy improvised dun
geOn just because he is Revenue cOllec-
tor. Then again, as the Elders and
DeacOnS and other long faced and de-
vout delegates meet in State Conven-
ton and inquire for that genial face of
Gen. McLaren, sad almost will it be to
hear that he is manacled with 4 set of
his handouts that heretofore have con-
fined violators of revenue laws and
there must linger until the campaign
is over. Not only those mentioned,
but our own local omnipresent and
efficient Charley Goodnow, now exiled
to 4 Land Office at New UIm, would
be missed. He, too, is hamstrung and
directed to wear leather goggles, to
put cotton in his ears, curb his tongue,
and do all that political organizing by
proxy.
We might as we'll give up 1T once.
Mobiles county and, in fact, this whole
Representative district will he polite
ally ruined if Charley Goodnow is OK
cluded from an active part in running
the machine, representing us at con-
ventions, and saving this great and
glorious country generally. Besides,
Charley does it all from disintercstetl
motives. He dcspises office and
wouldn't think Of any thing so mercen-
airy rs taking a post Office, land Office
clerkship, or Land Office Receiver
ship in payment for his party services.
This is the hardest thing about the
Presidents order, that it excludes such
patriots from active labor i'll annually
saving the country.

reflection that for every wound there
is balm in gilead, for every bcreave-
ment there is some consolation and
compensation. We shall lose the &C.
tive participation Of the pure and dis
interested politicians and shall get
more work from the people themselves.
We shall miss in many instances the
services Of officers selected by politici-
ans, but we shall gain the services of
men selected by the people. The be-
reaved and suffering people, sorrow1ng
over The fact that they arc deprived of

will come up with chastened and bro

THE CROPS.

The present season las surely been
admirably adapted to two ends, viz:
the best possible development of small
grain and the worst possible develop
ment of the locusts. The. cool, rainy
weather of tho Spring and early Sum-
MGR seems to have been sent on pur-
pose to give wheat and other small
grain a rapid and hardy development,
and at the same time to give the locusts
. slow and feeble development. At
least this has been tho result. From
all parts of Minnesota and Northern
Iowa there is but ono report, viz: that
small grain never promised better and
many reports assert that it never look
ell 50 well. Where there is such gencr-
al and enthusiastic agreement upon
crop reports, there can bo no doubt as
to their truth.
We arc on the threshold of 4 most
magnificent harvest, II the present
promise is anything like fulfilled. 1t is
not safe to shout until we arc out of
tho woods, but if tho present crop is
gathered ind saved in good condition,
wo shall call this the Year Of Jubilee
and get up 4 Harvest Home if we have
to eat all the cakes and clicken-pics
ourself.

THE LOCUSTS.

Through the St. Paul, Sioux City,
and other papers, we have reports from
nearly all the counties IF Minnesota,
Iowa, and Dakota, which have been in.
tested with grasshoppers. Almost with
out exception these reports say that
the pests are rising and flying ,cest and
northeast. This is indeed encouraging.
When the general tendency is in that
direction there is do doubt THAT the 10.
Gusts are tending back to their home
along the mountains and that once
gone from the States where crops are
growing, they will not return. Pre-
vailing winds from that direction
might blow many of them back for a
time, but even then, the chances are
that they would settle down instead OF
going with the wind, and wait until
they had Il favorable current to bear
them northwest. Two years ago, it
will be remembered, the Missouri hatch
rose and made bee line northwest and
wero not heard from again, except
from points like Fort Garry where
many of them dropped down while tho
flight was passing over.
We lay Il good deal of stress upon
this fact that 50 far as we hear the IN.
stinct of the pests impresses them this
year to 60 northwest. OF course, We
are not safe yet, and it would not be
wise to make any too positive predic
tions, but it is safe to say that never
since we have had 4 hatch has the out
look been so encouraging as it is to,
day. The young locusts have develop
cd and taken wing without destroying
the crops and now that they have wings
they are disposed to leave ut once fol
those remote regions where there are
no crops growing.
