Extract from Columbus, Ohio,
speech: The law authorizing the ia

ever they were presented by any indi-
vidual in sums OF fifty dollars, they
m light be converted into 500 bonds.
Two years afterward this provision
was repealed. Greenbacks deprecated

pie, and the sale of bonds was monop-
olized by the capitalists. The $40
bonds were, by law, OF their issue pay
able In greenbacks. Yet q republican
congress passed the law of 1859, where
by il was declared they should be paid
i'm coin. This single act added eight
hundred millions of dollars to the val
ue of the bonds In the hands Of tire
bondholders, and added that much to
the burdens already imposed upon la
bor. The currency has been steadily
and mercilessly contracted. Silver
has been demOnetized for the express
purpose OF contracting the currency
and increasing the value of gold Mil.
lions were deducted from the coin cur
reney and bonds were increased largely
i'm value. The threat Of resumption In
1879 hangs like pail over the coun.
try, and shrouds every industry in
mourning. The law Of 1870 declares
that the bonds authorized by 1t shal
be paid In coin of the standard valn,

That Editorial Excursion.

The Wichita EAGLE (whose editor
has been numerously in the Legisla-
ture and thinks there never was such
sensible Legislature as the particu-
lar bodies he served in) objects to
coupling the editorial excursion with
the legislative excursion. That editor
thinks editors are disgraced by such
association! That may be true; but
the personal acquaintance we have
with Kansas editors don't warrant any
such pretensions. The Kansas Legis-
lature may be very bad place, but
we never knew of but one Kansas ed
itor to refuse an opportunity TO be-
come a member thereof. Even such
heavy editors as they of the Leaven-
worth Times, Lawrence Journal, Kan
sas Farmer and the EagleaepSaad-
times have all cried 'sMr. President"
or "Mr. Speaker with pompous pride,
and drawn their three dollars per diem
with mathematical Vim
fcld Courier.
Many renounce all the comforts of
civilization and devote their lives and
talents TO the conversion of heather.
Even good men have died for cause
or principle. The exigencies Of the
times or the great principles involved
warranted the sacrifice. But there is
no call for the editors of Kansas to
lay themselves out on Sam Woods
Legislature. The meat is not worth
the ammunition. For one we shall
never take another editorial excursion
until the society conducts them on a
different basis.

THE 'H0PPERS.
Professor Riley Makes Report of His Invssti-
cation in Kansas.

Professor Riley, the chief of the Ma
tional chronological Commission, has
Just closed three weeks examination
in Kansas, of the grasshoppers, and
has submitted report to Governor
Anthony. He says he finds the favor
able reports as TO there being no dam
ger from their ravages is, in the main,
warranted, and there is no doubt in
his mind, that throughout the larger
part of Kansas the battle is already
fought and won. lie confirms his for
mer theory, that the hoppers are out
of their natural habits, and can never
permanently thrive here. He says 81
am the last to desire that this favor
able report should lull your farmers
into an undue sense Of security against
injury. 1t will depend altogether to
the proportion Of eggs which have
Matched. Thus, in the more sandy
belt, west of line roughly drawn
through Junction City and Florence,
not one per cent of the eggs remain
unmatched, while east of that line,
where the eggs were laid later and the
soil is mostly colder and more tena-
cious, from one-half to three fourths
of them are yet unmatched, land, with
a few exceptions, sound. In the for
mer area few fields may suffer, espe-
cially along the river courses, but
there will be 10 general destruction.
In the latter the injury may yet be
great, and should be provided against"
The Professor then gives various plans
for destroying those which do not die
a natural death, and closes as follows
When the locust scourge is fully un-
derstood, and the farmers unite in a
effort 10 counteract, it will
cease to be so much of bug bear, and
no longer interfere with the settle
ment of the beautiful and productive
western plains which it visits at ir-
regular intervals.
