Washington Post.

Let us take = plain, business look at the
Ohio contest. In 1873, the Republican can
didate for Secretary of State received 274,-
12O votes; the Democratic 27O, 1854, and the
National 1882. This gave the Republicans
a plurality of 3,154, but left them in q mi
nority in the State of 35,174 votes. It was
universally conceded at the time of the cleo
ton that of the $4,000 votes cast by the Ma
tionals two-thirds came from the Democratic
party. This would make the Republican
contribution to the third party's strength in
the neighborhood of 1900 votes, and the
Democratic, $4,000. Now say that Ewing
and Foster poll the same vote this year that
their respective party representatives did The
last, or proportionately larger one, which
will amount practically to the same thing.
Then add to Ewing's 27O,964 the 25,Ooo
Greenback Democrat votes which his NOM
ination, in the opinion of prominent Ohio
politicians, assures him, and leave the 1900
Republican Nationals to vote their own party
ticket in preference to both the hard -monev
Republican and Greenback Democrat candi-
dates, and the figures will stand: Ewing.
295, 1856; Foster, 274.12O; Piatt, 13.OO0.
Ewing's plurality, ,846; majority. 1916.
How does this strike the fgurative Radical

NO COMPROMISE WITH HIS CONVICTION

NO COMPROMISE WITH HIS CONVICTIONS.
WASHINGTON, June l6.-A call has been
issued for meeting IF the Senate Democratic
CAUCUS tomorrow to receive the report from
the committee of three Senators, Thurman,
Mcdonald and Garland, appointed Friday to
confer with Senator Bayard in regard to his
proffered resignation of the Craftsmanship of
the finance committee, and to report
whether some harmonious arrangement could
not be effected to reclaim the Warner
silver bill from its present suspended
position in the committee and place it upon
the Senate's calendar. The caucus committe g
will report that Bayard is inhexaibly opposed
to making any compromise or concession in the
matter and that he therefore absolutely declines
to become party to the sug gested arrange
ment Of reporting the bill back TO the Senate
without recommendation, even though it be
stipulated that no further action shall be taken
on the subject until next session. In brief he
insists that the bill should be left in the hands
of the committee for mature consideration at
the next session of Congress, and that if his
party colleagues deem it advisable t. force
action upon the measure in opposition to his
conscientious convictions concerning it they
must accept his resignation.

AMENDMENT RECOMMENDED BIZ TEE ADVISORY
COMMITTEE.
WASHINGTON, June 16.-The advisory COM
nittees of the House and Senate Democratic
caucus held joint meeting this afternoon, at
which, after brief discussion, it was decided to
recommend to their party friends the adoption
of an amendment to the second section of the
judicial expenses appropriation bill. One of
the clauses of that section provides that no de-
partment or officer of the government shall,
during said fiscal year ending June g. 1880,
make any contract or incur any liability for
the future payment of money until an appro-
priation sufficient to meet such contract or pay
such liability shall have first been made by Law.
The advisory committee agreed that this clause
ought to be amended so as to embody tho ex-
ception contained in section 1892. by revised
statutes, in favor of the war and navy depart
ments.

The Gras.hopper Prospects for 1879


Prof. Riley, United States entomoloeist,
being questioned as to the reports regarding
the outlook for grasshoppers in the West this
year, says: 81 have received reports from
the extreme Northwest, from Montana, Da-
kota and Utah, where the locusts are per-
manently located, that they are Matching ont
nov. Scattering schools are being hatched
out further to the southeast, in Kansas and
Nebraska, but in limited proportions. These
last are the progeny of the scattering flights
known to have passed over the Temporary
| region last fall. am of the opinion that
| they fly to the southeast every autumn from
the permanent region. These scattering
flights bring forth small progeny, but, as
| rule, in no such numbers as to alarm any one.
Every autumn the winds and other causes
carry them to the southeast, but they cannot
perpetuate themselves in this lower county
They either die off or naturally return to the
northwest to the permanent region lying two
| or three degrees on either side of the bound
ary line between the United States and
British America. Except where they become
| q prodigious multitude in the northwest
they will never do serious harm In the lower
countries, as they did in 1875, and such is
| not the case this year, though the season has
been favorable to their development It
takes several seasons to multiply them into
| dangerous numbers. In 1876 they were de-
| pleted by going too far south and not getting
back again, as they always try to do. IL 1875,
when they were 80 bad, they had by this time
in June laid everything bare in western Mis-
| souri, and Kansas
This year q new species is doing great
damage, however, in the Sierra Valley of
California. The chronological commission
has had its sphere of labors enlarged, and
| will look into their outbreak in tho Sierra
Valley. Professor Thomas and Packard, of
the commission, will take charge this year of
