Both branches of the general govern
ment for the next two years will be Dem
ocratie. Being the dominant party they
will be cursed with all the evils that may
spring from natural or lawful causes.
The grasshopper raids, ravages by chinch
bugs, loss by flood or fire, Indian depre.
dations, unwise Legislation, ETC., etc., will
be chargeable directly to that party. Its
our turn to grumble and find fault.

Gen. Sheridan thinks we should have
an army of &C, 900 to 10000 men to take
care of the Indians. The saving to the
government by the prevention of Indian
wars would probably pay the additional
cost, but there is no likelihood of the in
crease being made by a Democratic Con-
press, which hates soldiers as cordially as
does the present one. The army will
fare well if it escapes further reduction

The Kansas City Times, in leading
editorial says that the resent election
shas indicated that the sectional lines
are being drawn more closely each cleo
ton. "The gains of the Democratic par
ty have been made in the South: those
of the Republicans in the North" Had
it not been for the virtual dlsfranchise-
ment of the negro vote in the South there
would have been no Democratic major
ity in the next Congress.

she had the plundering ola savings bank

very presence of the proprietor and a

EXORBI1,ANT' FREI9HTS

We understand that for some time
there has been a good deal of dissatis-
faction with the lumber dealers Of
Minneapolis and Saltwater, because of
what is considered exorbitant charges
made by the st. Paul 4 Sioux City
Railroad Company for carrying luni-
BIER over that road into Southwestern
Minnesota and Iowa, and that recent
ly i committee representing that inter-
est waited upon MIR. Drake and asked
y modification of charges 50 rs to place
the lu,nbermen Of Minnesota on an
equal footing with those Of Chicago.
What they asked was that the charge
for shipping lumber over his road
should not he greater than the charge
OF roads leading out Of Chicago to tile
same point, Which they claim would
enable them TO compete for the trade.
n" satisfactory assurances were given,
Mr.. Drake claiming that if his road
reduced rates, the Chicago roads would
do the same thing, and that his road
could not afford to compete with them

lave shown Il cOnmentl;ble spirit of |
generosity and 4 live and lit live' dis
position in the matter OF entertaining
the many thousands in the city the past
two days, the Globe regrets to say that
the omnibus, hack and truck men. tax
ing advantage of the great rush yester
day, doubled their prices of passage for
retur.is from the fair grounds. The
disposition actuatirg the entire gang,
from }. 3. Cooks omnibus line down
to the man who could steal two pieces
of board for truck seats. was manifest
ed i'll the remark of Il blatherskite truck
man, in response toa protest against
the outrageous charges, viz: I'VE made
SIS to-day, and it you don't like to pay
you can matchmaking is good" Some
OF the persons uniting in this swindle,
have grown rich from favors shown
them by the corporate authorities and
leading citizeEs of st. Paul. by their
course yesterday thousands Of people
have been prejudiced against st; Paul,
and will, as far as possible, avoid COM
ing here in the future. Perhaps st.
Paul can afford this business. If so.
they should continue to patronize the
men responsible for this swindle.-St.

We are pleased to see the Globe lead

road trains ran only ut long intervals
and then had not cars enough to &C

Hon. NJ. II. Dunnell, our candidate
for national Representative, addressed
an audience of several hundred persons
at the school house last evening. The
address was in Mr.. Dunnell's usual
calm, dispassionate, argumentatiye
style, Astounding in valuable Informs

impression upon tile mind Of every hear: >
er that never. since the close of the war.
was it so all-important to secure a Re-
publican majority in the lower House.
Mr. ID. presented the financial ques-
tionswith great clearness, showing that
in the one item Of interest alone. we

by taking up the old bonds and issuing
the fOur-per-cents. He met the Demo-
cratic demand for the taxation of the
bonds by the familiar but infexible rule.
rule as much a law as the constitu.
ton itself. that government bonds cam
not be taxed, because if once declared
taxable, they could he driven out of the
market by any State.
The speaker dwelt with special pride
upon the credit of the government.
showing that while at the beginning of
the war the agent sent to Europe to Sc
cure loan could place but six millions
at IL per cent, now the bonds are taken
at the rate of from one to twenty mill
lions day at per cent.
On the greenback question, Mr., D.
showed that the government had no
power to make money, but only to coin
it; that the greenback never Was and
never could be anything but war
measure, and that there was now much
more money in the country than there
was during the flush years of 1SG6-7-s,
the whole amount now being about
500, 0O0,0 900. lie dwelt also upon the
appreciation of the greenback until it
is within q mills Of par, and upon the
absolute safety Of the National Bank
notes.
Touching upon the Democratic party,
Mr.. D. showed how the Democratic
House had called home 40 to so minis
ters and consuls, to the great injury of
our commerce; how it had tied the hands
of the President so that he could not
send troops to protect the government
ut the South, and how the lower House
is to-day controlled ny men who recent
ly were in arms against the &C yernment.
He made the startling statement that
we are i'll more danger than ever should
the Democracy come into power, for
the party will be ruled by d solid South.
III conclusion, Mr.. II. suggested us
an eWtaph for the Republican party,
Loyalty to the government; Fidelity
to its pledges.''

EDITOR ADVANCE: / see that tester

alizlng system. Now, I see and am
convinced of what said before. that |
lie never tested the true philosophy Of
Spiritualism. The system and doctrine
he is attacking is nothing more nor i IS
than Free Loyeism, which some claim,
of course is Spiritualism, but there is 10
connection between the theory of Spir-
itualism and the so-called doctrine of
Free Loveism. The two are essentially
different, both as to their facts
and in their teachings. Spiritual
ism is a beautiful science of future in
dividual life, based upon countless facts
of undouhted intercourse between hu-
man beings and the spirits of the de-
parted, while Free Loveism is social
theory entertained and practiced by
persons both honest and dishonest
That there are afew openly avowed Free
Lovers who are also Spiritualists ill be-
lief, do not deny, but Spiritualism is
not responsible Tor the existence of Free
Loveism. Therefore, every justice-lov-

or foe to the cause of progress, should
exercise judgment and discriminate Oh

They do not attempt to destroy old or

itself before many years under the

comprehend the laws of universal pro-
erosion and the law of compen sation.
They teach no vicarious atonement
that mankind must have a priest to act

fully comprehend those laws, it will

GRASSHOPPFR RAYAGES

Robert Sullivan, recently of this city,
but now u granger in the vicinity Of
Wortlington, is in the city. He re-
ports the ravages of the grasslOppers
in that section al terrible. Corn, cab
bage and other vegetables were totally
destroyed In two days last week. The
hoppers sWRrmed 80 thick at times that
they were almost ankle deep, and when
they rose the light of the sun was OBJ
scured as by i cloud. There are a
great many farms in this vicinity which,
have been completely devastated, and
the farmers are actually suffering for
the necessaries of life. Mr.. G.. Kniffs,
also from this city, has lost nearly ali
his crops, first from a hailstorm, and
latter]y by the grasshoppers. While
the people of Minnesota are responding
so molly to the calls of suffering hu-
manity in the South, we should not for
get or overlook the demand upon our
sympathy and purses ut home.
The above item appeared in the Still
water department of last Sundays Pr
oneer Press. 1t was read in our Office
to several gentlemen, one Of whom re-
marked, 'what -- liar lie is" We
have not heard of a single farm being
devastated or anybody suffering for the
necessaries of life in this county. That
the grasshoppers are here and are de-
posting eggs, 10 one denies. They are
probably the same swarm that visited
Bismarck few weeks since and that
fingered about Sioux Falls for week
or ten days before moving this way
We have heard of some gardens being
destroyed, but if they have destroyed 4
single corn field in this county, we have
had no report of the fact so far. They
are not as thick as they were two years
ago, when they were through here lay
ing eggs, and our readers will remem-
Der that the year following, or last year,
we had the best crop ever raised in this

When gold gets down to within
quarter Of a cent of greenbacks, it is
lowering itself considerably. It doesn't
comport with the sterling nature of the
metal nor with the royal dignity of its
rank. But this American ''idee'' is a
great leveler. The patrician gold comes
down and mingles with the plebian
greenback on Il common level, and yet

THE TRADE DoLLAn.-During our
recent trip we found that the trade dol"
lar is passing for only 80 cents. About
here we know that some have been ta-
ken at par. Mexican and trade dollars
both are worth only 90 cents, and TIE
banks generally will receive them on de-
poeit for that amount and no more.
