There is a good deal of ankle.
ty felt about the probability of a
general grass-hopper visitation in
this State during the approaching
season, and many farmers are seri-
ously discouraged. The newspapers
are full Of speculations about the
subject, and experiments are made
in Matching out the eggs and sub.
jecting the young insects to the
cold to see whether freezing will
kill them. We have read attentively
everything of this sort that has come
to hand, but find it impossible to ar.
rive at any conclusion because Of
the conflicting statement. The truth
IS there is not enough known abou,
The Grange advance. [volume] (Red Wing, Minn.) 1873-1877, 1877-02-21

the habits of these pests to justify
any decided declaration as to the
effect upon them Of cold and hun
ger, but it is presumable that they
will not continue to live if the wealth
er is freezing after they are Matched,
nor if they are ha1ched so much in
advance of vegetation as to require
them to exist several weeks without
eating. If they can withstand hun
ger and cold to such extent, they
are little ahead of all other "creat-
ed things" and their determination
will, indeed, be problem of the
most profound and important nature.
For our own pant, we have, no
doubt, that either freezing or starry
ing will wind up their earthly ca
reer and, if they will only all hatch
out during the present spell Of warm
weather, we are strong in the be-
lief that this will be the end of them.
Either starvation or a March freeze
will constrain them to turn up their
toes and say amen to life.

By reference to page IS Of the

following paragraphs; which we copy
for the benefit of Mr.. Straits friends:

duced u bill IA. r.. No 4574)f to appropri-
ate the proceeds Vt the sales Of the public
lands in the several States and Territories
afflicted with grasshoppcrs OF heir eggs to

erwise, for the destruc ion Of such grasshop.
pers or their eggs; which was read u irst
and second time, referred to the Committee
on Public Lands, ard ordered to be printed.
Mr.. Strait also presented ajoint lcs.lu-
ton Of the Legislature Of Minnesota, ap>
proved January II, 1877, requesting the
Senators and Representatives from MINES
sofa Iii the Congress Of the United States to
secure it possible such legislation as will ap-
proprlatc the proceeds Of TIE sales of public
lands in the several States afflicted with
grasshopPers to those States, to be used in
the payment OF bountics for the destruction
OF such grasshoppcrs: which was referred 10
the Committee on Public Lands, and or
6ered to be printed
Mr.. Strait also presented joint rcsolu-
ton Of the Legislature Of the state Of Min.
nesota, approved January %, 1877, request.
ing the United States Senators and Repre-
sentatives from Minnesota to use their ef.
OF grasshoppers and their eggs: which was
referred to the Committee on Agriculture,
aud ordered to be printed.
MIR. Strait also presented a joint resolu.
ton of the Legisiat;,re .: the State of Min
ing The House Of Representatives Of the
United States Congress to pass the bill
Is. No. $40 for the re:i-t 0f certain settlers
on odd-numbered. sections: which was re-
terred to the Committee on Public Lands,
and ordered to be printed.
On Tuesday Congress proceed
ed with the count of electoral votes,
having acqulesced in the decisions
of the Commission giving Florida
and Louisiana to Hayes. When
Michigan was reached, objection
was made to counting the vote of
Mr.. Crossman, one Of the electors
of that State. The object seems to
have been to occasion delay, and a
number of the best men amongst
the democratic members disapprove
of the course pursued. 1t is thought
that objections will, also, be made
to the votes OF MIR. Finseth, of this
State, Mr.. Waits of Oregon, to
the South Carolina electors, and to
one Of the Wisconsin electors. On
all of these except that of Oregon,
we have no doubt that the commits
sion will rule in favor of Mr.. Hayes.
To US the Oregon matter seems
more complicated and we have seri-
Gus doubts as to what decision the
commission will arrive at. We are
satisfied, however, that its decision
will be an honest one and that the
people of this country generally will
endorse it.

StillHarping on 1t.

Still Harping on 1t.
We regret to see that our Zum-
brota contemporary continues to adj
vocate the narrow-guage midland
railroad. When the two new flour
ing mills now in course of erection
in this city are finished it will give
US thirty-six run of burrs here. TO
supply these will require about
100000 bushels of wheat per year.
This will create large local de-
mand and constitute Red Wing the
best wheat market in this part of the
State.
| Now, why should the farmers of
the southern part Of this county be
at the expense of building a rail-
road, which can only have the effect
of cutting them off from the advan-
tag Of this market in their own
county If they send their wheat
to Wabasha, it can be shipped
thence to Red Wing, but the pro-
ducers will be at the expense of the
extra carriage involved. Would it
not be better to adopt the sugges-
ton we made nearly year ago /?
That is: build a railroad from Red
Wing to the southwestern part of
the county, passing through Zumt
brota and terminating at Kenyon.
Let this be owned and controlled
by local company, the members Of
which reside in this county and are
interested in the prosperity of the
country traversed by their road.
This, it strikes US, will certainly be
better, than for citizens of the coun-
ty to give their means to non-resi-
dents for the latter to build a road
with to be owned and controlled by
themselves and managed in their
own interest.
AS for the idea that there is a
necessary antagonism between the
interest of Red Wing and of any
part of the county we are compelled
to regard it false and foolish.
Their interests are intimately as
ISOLATED, and by working together
they advance their common pros
perity, while both are necessarily in
jured by opposition. We never
have doubted that we shall live to
see the day when the most jealous
advocate of the Midland railroad
scheme will consent that our views
respecting that subject were correct,
and we are glad to know that sew
eral former advocates of that road
are already looking favorably at our
side of the argument.
The compromise between this
city and the railroad company, by
which the city gets rid of the old
railroad bonus bonds, with all the
accrued interest, &c., by the pay
ment of $4,000 new bonds, bear
ing 6 per cent. interest, and payable
in from one to nine years, is a mat
ter for very general congratulation.
1t is an unloading Of the old man of
the sea, and already the city seems
to be materially benefited by the
settlement of this matter. It is hop
ed that the people Of this country
will learn wisdom by such lessons
and abandon the bonus system. 1t
is bad policy to give away your
wealth. Ifyou must help to build
railroads in order to have them, see
that you have an ownership in them
to the amount Of what you pay, and
then you will have voice in con-
trolling their management.
