quent defeat of Justice by the delay.
Human life is indeed sacred, but the
laudablc effort to guard it has gone
beyond bounds. OF late years the
difficulty to convict, in murder trials
especially, has greatly increased from
the widcned application of the pleas
in bar-notably that Of insanity.
When a conviction has been reached
innumerablc delays generally stay
the execution. The many grounds
of exception allowed to the counsel,
the upneals from one court to ano-
thcr, with final application to the
Governor, and the facility with
which signatures for pardon are OBJ
tanned, have combined to throw
around culprits an cxtravagant pro-
tcctive system, and gone Ear to rob
jury trial of its substance and eff

that which strikes terror into evil
doerS and satisfies the public con-
science. The reverse of this among
us has brought reproach upon the
administration of justice, and given
plausible grounds for the application

- Fergus Falls June 16.-The work of disposing
Of the grd shoppers In this county has been com.
pleted and 1t is believed effectnally: Capt Chase,
who had charge Of the work. returned from
Perham Saturday and reports that the committee
has had over six thousand acres plowcd at tic
expense of the state at cost Of 81, 500.
Wherever eggs have been found the land has
been plowed carefully and deep. The eggs are
therefore buried, that 1t IS not thought that the
hopper will ever reach the surface in case they
should hatch. They have met with some
obsticles. but as general thing the people have
been glad to have the step taken to prevent
repetition of the plague Hoppers have hatch.
cd out In isolated patches to considerable extent
but q car load of oil and tar was shipped in and
wherever lived hoppers were found tho hopper
sdozers were set In motion and the hoppers
caught. Capt. Chase, who was there year ago
now says that at that time the fields fences and
roads were covered with them, but now scarcely
ahopper can be seen. The only thing to do now
Il to wait and see ifthe hoppers come up through
the plowed fields. Ifihey do not they are effect.
ually wiped out; in case they do they will pro-
ceedc to catch them at once with oil and tar.
From Battle lake and Clitherall, where good
deal of the blowing has been done, Mr.. Hatch re.
ports that not hopper has made its appearance
through the blowing. The expense to the state
has not been to exceed 80 900 and 1t is believed
that the efforts Of Capt. Chase and Prof. Lusger
have saved thousands Of acies Of land.

TOO MUCH LIGHTNING

Minneapolis Tribune: An amusing
incident occurred on Washington
avenue south last night about 10
o'clock in front of R. N. Wollcott's
trunk store. One of the the electric
light wires happened to be down
across the sidewalk when stray dog
came along and collided with it. For
some reason or other he stopped at
that spot and set up an unearthly
yell, but did not seem inclined TO
change his position. 1t wasn't long
till a crowd of men gathered,
among them the dogs master, Lewis
Raymond. Everybody was afraid
to touch the dog for fear of getting
a charge IF electricity, and the result
was that it was fastened to the spot
by the current for about Is minutes
before any veonentured to approach
the wretched animal. Finally man
announced in a bravado style that he
wasn't afraid Of electricity and made
a pass for the dog. and catching the
wire, was also pinned to the earth.
In his efforts to get away he seized
two other men by the arms, thus
passing the current through all three.
For a minute none of them could get
away, and the assembled crowd stood
by, enjoying hearty laugh while
they yelled for help. Finally the three
men and the dog were extricated,
none Of them appearing any the worse
for their experience with the subtle
fluid.

A s.WHITEWAsH. =

As was feared, the local authorities
at Rochester have succeeded in CIV
ing the management Of the insane
asylum at that place a coat Of white
wash, officially generating them
from any criminal conduct in their
concealment of the murder Of Combs.
This unfortunate result was brought
abont partly by the desire of the citi-
zens Of that locality to do all they
could to protect the institution from
the charges made against it, partly
by the high personal standing Of DR..
Bowers and other prominent officials
and partly by the political and social
influence Of the exonerated ones.
The facts as related in the report Of
the grand jury were sufficient to cause
the finding of an indictment againsl
the men, but the report went on to
praise the business methods and pro-
tessional ability Of the officers, and
lightly passed over the grave fact
that murder had been concealed fol
weeks by the management, aud never
would have been reported had these
efficient" officers been able to con-
ceal it.
This may result in allowing Bow
ers and others to escape from the pun,
ishment they deserve, but Gov. Mer.
riam and the state board that has
charge of the institution should see
that everything possible is done to re-
store confidence in the management
Of this asylum.

Use of the Horses Tail.

A writer in the Army and Navv
Journal discusses thus cloquently and
learnedly on the subject of the horses
tail: As woman's hair is her crown
of glory, so the horses tail is his
scepter of grace. It is a noticeable
fact, and one worthy of comment, that
never in the history of our army have
the tails of the troopers horses, nor of
those Of the light batteries, been
meddled with. Not so with the tails of
horses seen in haunts of fashion. The
custom of docking their tails is now
carried to an absurd extent, and ultra
fashionables leave their faithful slaves
scarcely any tails at all. It now seems
probable that it will end like that of
the farmers dog whose tail was cut off
just behind his ears.
Thirty years or less ago it was the
fashion to "prick" horses tails, as we'll
as to ''dock" or cut them off. The de-
pressory muscles were severed after
the removal of about two-thirds of the
tail itself, and the mutilated stump
was elevated by means of a rope at
tached to weight, passed through o
pulley in the ceiling of the stable.
This, while possibly excusable in the
treatment Of horses that kicked and
became dangerous when their tails
were thrown over the reins in driving,
was, as rule, a cruel and scnseless
custom.
Some horsemen claim tina ''dock-
ing" improves deficient quarters, a
claim which is easier to make than to
establish.
The horse has been APPLY likened to
ship; his head represents the bow,
his body the hull and his tail the rud-
der. The eye is the lookout and the
prompt obedience of motion TO that in
Dictated by the quick movements OF
the tail is more rapid than that of the
most faithful 1xion. The folly of the
votaries of fashion is greater than they
dream Of, their lives even sometimes
paying the penalty.
The body of the horse is inclined,
perhaps imperceptibly but none the
less surely toward the point to which
he desires to direct his course. The
head is turned, also. more or less in
the same direction, the tail inclining
toward an opposite course and the long
hair flows outward, gently favoring
the grace of movement. A "swish" Of
the tail when suddenly changing di.
rection at speed aids the horse in main.
tanning his balance and enables him to
turn quickly aud gracefully.

There have been so many conflicting
reports relative to Gen. Washburn's
health, that it is gratifying to know
on the highest authority that he is
not, and has not been at any time in
an alarming condition. The burden.
which he has carried several years
and the strain of the senatorial con.
test have worn upon him and induced
extreme nervousness, requiring rest
Recently he had severe cold, and
he took measures to seclude himself
and recover. He is out of danger
and taking care of himself in sensi.
bic way, doing what he is able to do
and escaping the crowds. The re-
ports have been very hurtful, because
almost entirely unfounded. His son
W. d., Jr., is in the city.
