especially among the better class of
farmers men who have little money.
There is feeling of independence

THE NEXT DECADE on THE PACIFIC

The next ten years will witness an
extraordinary development on the
Pacific Coast. Nearly all the great
railroad enterprises which are now
prosecuted are west of the Missouri

Jay Gonld's programme embraces
about 1000 miles of railroad west oi

locusts cannot do any damage except
to Young fruit trees, in the limbs of
which they deposit their eggs. lie
says the report that the locusts sting
human beings is a fallacy; that a
species of digger wasp feed. on these
young locusts and people have been
stung by these wasps, from which
the belief has sprung that locusts
sting. He says the locusts will sud-
denly disappear before long.

One of the first acts Of the depart
ment of agriculture and commerce
just established in Japan was to issue
instructions to the various projects
and local authorities requiring them
to render all possible assistance in
the way of supplying models, books,
ETC., to the artist artisans. The class
of workmen, it is said, has for the
most part been without these appli-
ances for considerable time, but the
government is at length aroused to
tho necessity Of reviving, if possible,
the spirit and technical excellence of
the ancient art.

muLas4 RELIC OF BaasaRIskl.

RoIygamy, with all of its hideous
attendant crimes is fast growing to
alarminr proportions and is not con
fined to U,ah, where it was for many
years partially secluded, but has Tor
some years been gradually spreading
TO the surrounding territories.
And yet our government officials,
whose duty it has ever been to see
that the laws were duly executed,
have continually stood by and with
their knowledge CT the crimes COM
1nitted by this influence, and their
failure to put a stop to them, we
cannot refrain from, in one sense,
regarding them as particepts crimi-
mis-. Because if they had taken
hold of it actively and promptly and
dealt with it as they wonld with
other crimes, and as their sworn Off
-cial duties required them to do, this
evil would have been banished from
among US years ago. We sometimes
find these questions raised in some
inaugural address, but the thought
of it appears to be soon lost sight OF
after it enters this important docu-
ment, to there slumber until some
thing else transpires to again suggest
it. The American people are too apt
to neglect the correctian of any evil
until it becomes 80 extensive that its
evil consequences are brought i'm
mediately to the notice of the whole
country. When this condition OF
affairs is brought about, the evil
sought to be remedied has probably
become SO extensive that war and
much bloodshed is liable to take place
before it can be eradicated.
1t seems like the delay in these
things probably occur because our
senators and representatives in Con
gress no doubt await action until the
sentiment of the people generally de
anand of them to act, when frequently
it would be better for the country i
they should agitate the question be
fore the people became fully aroused
to realization of the evil. TIT
head quarters of this system is estab
lished on tie Pacific slope, where alst
is situated the new fields through
which It is SO fastly spreading. I
will therefore no doubt sooner o
later, devolve upon our Pacific Coas
senators and representatives to frs
take hold of this question.
We do not see any good reaso,
why it would not be strictly in keep
ing with good propriety for some Q
) Oregon's representatives to immor
talize their fair name by starting th,
ball to rolling in the halls of Con
gress which will eventually eradicat
polygamy from among US.
