We made one of Robert G. Inger-
soils audience ct Topeka when he
spoke there abort time ago. His
speech was fiat compared with
the one which he made in the Gin
cinnati convention, when he nomi-
mated Senator Blaine for President,
and which gave him national fame.
In fact, the almost unanimous YER
dict was one of disappointment.
Robert is no doubt great out door
stumper, but when it comes to
platform address or lecture, he is no
better than many other men we
have heard. Kallocb, formerly of
Kansas" can double-discount him.
At Topeka Robert adver tised to
speak On politics, ''S to Z, or politi-
cal questions asked and answered"
He charged fee of 20 cts. head.
Although not advertised in the bills
he coHld not let the opportunity
slip Of throwing ia little dose of
his blatant infidelity. This was con-
adhered in bad taste, under the cir
cumstances, and condemned by nom
professors. No one objects to his
holding whatever opinions he sees
At, but when he charges q fee he
ought to ''show according to the
bills" He has no right to adyer-
tise politics, and thereby draw a
large crowd, who don't want to hear
his views on religion, and then feed
them on his Anti-rellgious trash.
"One night only, Is perhaps q good
motto for Robert.

A tabular statement OF the vista

from the year 1918 to the present

going the rounds of the press. The
table is as follows:

MIA, 1888, 1855, 1856; Indian Terri

A Minnesota paper comments on
this table AMI says that "from this
statement it will be seen that Min
nesOta, after suffering from the
grasshoppers in 1918, 1919 and 1920,
was free from the ravages for thir-
ty-fve years, or until 1855. The
next year they were here again, and
then we escaped from them for
nine years or until 1854. Three
years thereafter they visited us
again. Then we were free from
them elk years. Since that time.
or during three years, they have
been present in some part. of the
State.
''Since 1918, q period of So years,
there have been 81 years in which
the grasshoppers were not found
within the limits OF observation,
either by settlers on the public
lands or the officers at government
forts. There are two theories as TO
this disappearance one is that they
have retired in immense numbers
into the great plains near the Rocky
Mountains the ether is that thew
were nearly destroyed by unfavor-
under favorable circumstances, they
rallied their forces in their natural
hatchIng grounds on the great
plains.
An inspection of the table gives
great encouragement to the theory
that from unfavorable seasons and
other natural causes they are de-
stroyed after the lapse of four wears
at the most. Their time has expir-
ed in this region, and there is 1oa-
seQuently good reason for hoping
that we shall see but little OF them
this season or for many years to
come. If they were capable of in
definite increase, the year 1855
when they spread from Oregon TO
TeXas, was q most favorable time
for an advance over the whole con-
fluent. But on the contrary, with
in two years they had disappeared
everywhere, except in Utah.
In the present state of knowl-
edge on the subject, the only reli-
ance we have is on their annihila-
ton by natural, or some will say,
Providential causes. Their appear
ence and disappearance il Rndonbt-
eddy regulated by fixed rules-One
of which seems to be that within q
period of four years, they have
heretofore, in every locality, run
their course and disappeared. This
is 8 hopeful fact, and to our mind;
the most hopeful indication on
which the inQuiring mind can rest.

A CURIosITY.-Last Wednesday
the Herald was presented with a
limb taken from a peach tree on
the farm of MIR. j. NJ. Wiley, living
near Melrose, Kansas, which is quite
curiosity. The blossom is as per-
feet rose as we ever saw, with an
average of fifty-one leaves, while
the natural peach blossom only has
I'VE. The superstition is that the
pollen of the rose has been inter-
mingled with that of the peach,
thereby forming a hybrid, which
may run on for countless ages and
cause the pea:h tree to "blossom
like q rOse.-Chetepa Herald"

The famous $1,000 baby case was
tried on the oath before Judge
Brewer, at Leavenwortb, and deci-
ded against Mrs. Hull, and in favor
of Mrs. Wiley, the mother of the
child. Mrs. Hull did not claim it
as an adopted baby, but as her "ewn
born" and the evidence showed
that this was false claim, and con-
sequently she had no legal right to
it whatever. Mrs. Wiley and Mrs.
Smith, the latter the matron of the
Home, at Leavenworth, can now
congratulate themselves on their sue
cess in rescuing the infant from a
life of luxury and fortune and con-
signing 1t to poverty and restitution
again, as by her own testimony,
Mrs. Wiley is unable, and her bus
band unfit to take care of it.

In the treaty between the United
States and Russia in 1854, the two
parties recognized as permanent and
immutable principles that free ships
make free goods; that is to say,
that effects or goods belonging to
the subjects or citizens of the power
or state at war are free from capture
or confscation when found on board
of neutral vessels, with the excep-
ton of articles contraband Of war !;
and that the property of neutrals on
beard of enemies vessels is not SUBJ
ject to con1iscation unless the same
be contraband of war. They engage
to apply this principle to the com
merce and navigation of all such
powers and states as shall consent
to adopt them ON their part SIS per-
manent and immutable. The last
treaty between the United States
and the Ottoman Empire, negetia-
ted In 1862, contained no such de-
clared principles.
