ltaSCa State Park.

Those who have paid some atten-
tion to the struggle in the state of
New York, by people who have some
regard for future generations, to pre-
serve the Adirondack forests for
great public park, must be impressed
with the Importance of the step taken
by the last legislature to set apart 35
sections of land about Lake Itasca in
perpetuity for state park.
To the remorseless lumbermen i'll
the reservation of this great body of
we'll timbered and well watered land
is a mere sentiment. Forethought
for generations to come with him is a
mere sentiment. He does not regard
as of much weight the commercial
and agricultural and sanitary argu-
ment favorable to the retention of
timber at the headwaters of the Miss
issippi. Nevertheless the Legislature
did very wise thing and the people
of the state should be directly inter
ested in the effectuation of the act.
Commissioner Brewer has already
begun his work, for which he is well
qualified by his thorough acquaint-
ance with the Itasca Lake region, and
his first obtaining abstracts of the
lands to be set apart. The Detroit
Record says that of the 35 sections,
5000 acres are owned by individuals,
5000 by the Northern Pacific, and
1900 acres are state school and
swamp lands and there is only one
actual settler in the whole tract which
is beautified with more than 100 lakes.
The land is heavily timbered and pic
turesquely diversified with hills and
pretty valleys and meadows. The
park possibilities of the region are
great and it will be in order for the
state not onl y to construct roads and
make it accessible, but make it park
for the preservation of our large game
like the moose and deer. 1t will be
necessary, after the delimitation is eff
fected, to keep a squad of mounted
police there, and the game and fish
commission will have to give attention
to the close execution of laws there.
No railroad should ever be given the
right of way there, but the whole tract
should be sacredly kept from such in
trusion. 1t will ultimately become
place of summer resort for thousands
while it is fulfilling its benefcent mis-
sion as a moisture preserver and the
great feeder to the life of the Missis-
sippi river.

1t would seem that there is a sys-
tematic attempt on the part of certain
politicians to kill off Blaine as pres
idential candidate in 1892. Reports
of his mind having become impaired
and physically he is greatly enfeebled
have been sent broadcast throughout
the land. In fact, that his health has
become so precarious that he will
never return from Bar Harbor to
Washington as secretary of state.
These reports are undoubtedly sent
out by Republican politicians who do
not desire to see Mr.. Blaine nominal
ed, and think the most effective way
to defeat him is to impress upon the
people that his health has broken
down and that he is unfit to fill the
position of President of the United
States. But in answer to these state
ments comes the report from Bar Harr
Dor under date of the 18th inst. that
Mr.. Blaine is in most excellent health
and that the assertions to the contrary
"are lies, pure and simply" Let us
have no more of this lying.

Rochester Post: Will some of our
free trade brethren please rise and
explain how it is that linseed oil has
decreased in price about twenty-five
per cent, Notwithstanding that the
tariff was increased twenty eight per
cent? This is another example of
how the price of an article is enhanced
by the amount of tariff. How long
will our democrat theorist continue
to advocate a principle which proves
so false in practice, as, "that the price
of an article is enhanced by the
amount of tariff" When the duty on
lnseed oil was twenty-five cents per
gallon it was quoted at sixty-two cents;
the duty now is thirty-tw cents and
the qnoted price forty-seven cents,
and yet, the democrats told us that
this duty was placed on this product
for no other reason than to benefit
few manufacturers.
But there is another fact in connec-
ton with this subject which is worthy
of more than passing notice. Linseed
oil is manufactured from flax seed,
and everyone knows that the
price of fax has been the most salts
factory for years. The farmer gets
double benefit, he gets a good price
for his fax and buys the oil with
which to paint his buildings cheaper
than before the Increased duty.

BECOMING ALARMED.

Agricultural Department Fears a Repeti.
tiOn of the Grasshopper Plague.
WASHINGTON, July l3.-The Rocky
mountain locust is coming eastward.
and the department of agriculture is
alarmed lest a repetition of the plaques
of 1S75-7S may again devastate the
Northwest. J. Dexter Pierce, of Lari-
more, N. D., has sent samples of the
grasshoppers, which now cover strip
of fifteen miles in width along the
British border, and are found to be the
genuine Rocky mountain locust. This
insect breeds under favorable
climatic influences in Montana
and Wyoming, and when great
numbers of them cover the land they
are compelled to migrate. In their
eastward march they sweep the crops
as with sickle keen, and devour more
than would support an army in long
campaign. Professor Bremen, Of Ne
braska, and Professor Osborne, of Iowa,
will be sent by orders of the secretary
of agriculture to proceed at once to the
scene and report accurately concerning
the possibility of plague, so that the
department may take prompt steps to
meet the emergency.

A Race Between Two Great States.


Ten years ago Kansas and Nebraska
entered on a race for supremacy. 1t
is not over yet, for Nebraska - and
perhaps Kansas - has yet broad lands
awaiting the settlers plow; but we are
enabled by the recent census to note
the results so far. 1t was not an equal
contest, for Kansas had many advan-
tages; she had already in 1880 more than
twice the population of Nebraska-996,
096 to 452, ,402-and she was almost the
best advertised state in the union. How
does the comparison stand now?
Kansas population today is 1 1,423, ,485;
increase, 427, ,399, or 42 10-11 per cent.
The population of Nebraska is now ,056,-
1893; increase, 604, 4,391, or 1881 per cent.
And still we grow.
Ten years ago Kansas stood twentieth
of the states Of the Union in population;
today she is in the same rank, or at most
nineteenth. Ten years ago Nebraska,
with her less than half million popula
ton, stood thirtieth in the list. Since
then she has distanced three of her COM
petitors, and now stands twenty-seyenth

Exercising Ghost with Holy Water.

For some time there has been great
deal of talk regarding a haunted house
which stands on the Oregonia and Har-
veysburg pike, about eight miles from
Morrow, 0. The house is the property
of Dan Gallagher, who is one of the
noted characters of Warren county.
The fame of the ghost rapping in the
house spread far and near, and investi-
eating parties were organized, which sat
up to meet the ghost. The rappings in
variably occurred shortly before mid.
night, and continued several minutes
Some of the boldest Of the investigators
rushed out to the window, but could see
nothing. The tapping, however, would
at once cease on their approach.
Finally Gallagher declared that he
would fix the ghost. He secured YES
sci containing holy water from the
church at Oregonia, and the ghost was
exercised in the presence Of many curl
GUS spectators, several of whom had
come from distance.
The scene was most dramatic one.
Dan sssppIoae2ed TIE window ant r.
moved his hat, which was TLcsN tor
the others to uncover. Sprinkling che
window profusely with the holy water
Dan in tragic tones thus addressed the
invisible visitor:
.'If you are bad spirit depart hence
and never return. If you are a good
spirit come forth and show yourself" ="
Several minutes of profound silence
elapsed, but there was no response. Dan
again sprinkled the window and repeated
his invocation. Still no ghost appeared,
and it is said that no more tappings have
disturbed the rest of the Fries family,
and the ghost or mischievous neighbo1
has certainly stopped rapping.-Cor.

He said: ''The campaign which
dawns upon us is to be fought upon the

the people in their actual leadership.
We are no longer left to conjecture as to

stalks about in midday for popular
view and judgment and the most con-

is the precise acknowledgment of reci-
procity in trade with foreign people as
advantageous to all our industries

pride to the growing commerce of our
country through reciprocity with our
American neighbors induced by the
matchless foresight of Secretary Blaine
and the foresight SO commended, dates
from February, 1880, and was very hate
full to the republican congress. He ar
raigned the republican party and theil
nominee for governor (Fassett). Speak
ing of the last census the speaker said
that the state by it was robbed of its
equal right at the ballot box. In clos
ing he eulogized Hill and hoped Man

governor would fall upon as brave and

Don't Want the Telegraph.

BERLIN, Sept. 14.-Over 10000 people
assembled at Lungehow, in the province
of Human, recently to prevent workmen
from putting up telegraph lines. Ten
thousand poles were burned and the
men driven over the boundary. A
society has been formed to keep the tel
egraph out, and the mob is still on
watch. Great apprehension is felt by
the inhabitants in the border districts of
Hussehu. At Newchang DIR. Grigg,
missionary doctor, has been assaulted by
the soldiers. The NATTER has been
placed in the hands of Mr.. Ayerton, the
British consul. It is thought that this
is a local affair not connected with the
secret societies. The reports from Foo
chow of the killing of three missionaries
proves to be false.
