BALTIMORE, Nd. July ST.
Maryland democrats held an en-
thusiastic convention in Baltimore
today. Mr.. German was not
present, but the mention of his
name was the signal for prolonged
cheering. Resolutions thanking
him for his services in the senate
were unanimously adopted. The
platform denounces the Harrison
administration and the work of the
last congress, calls for reduction
Of the tariff and iavors bimetallism.
Frank Brown was nominated for
governor by reclamation.
The other nominations, also
made by reclamation amid widest
enthusiasm, were:
John P. Doe of Baltimore for
encouragement.
J. Frank Ford of St Mary's
county for clerk of the court of
appeals.
Marion De Kalb Smith of Kent
county for comptroller.
Speeches were made by the nom-
inees in which unbounded conf.
dence and great esteem were mani.
tested for Mr.. German. One
speaker in seconding nomination
prophesied boldly that "the leader

Up at H. NJ. Thatcher's the other
day we witnessed the flight Of
grasshoppers as the vast swarms
from early morn until late in the
afternoon, they passed eastward,
flying just above the tops of the
sage brush in unbroken, unvarying
numbers, until one could but won
der where SO many millions came
from or what would be the fate of
the country that should receive
them. Fortunately they are not
enjoying even an ordinary appetite,
therefore no harm is done. What
would be the fate of the gardens,
crops of and all domestic Vegetation,
did they display their ravenous
propensities which usual charac.

conjectured by one who has seen
the winged clouds that were NOV
ing eastward on last Saturday. The
late cool and damp weather that
has prevailed this year has doubt.
less saved the farmers of Logan
county their crops, as it not only
retards their growth but keeps
them in a semi-torpid state until
they are ready to fly, when the
danger to Vegetation at the place of
Matching is past. Although the
season has been so unpretentions,
at no time in the history of the
Wood River country has grass
hoppers been so numerous while it
might be said that the damage
done is correspondingly small. The
fear now is that before beginning
to fly, they have laid their eggs,
and if so and these correspond with
the number of hoppers, the coming
year will offer little encouragement
to the farmers. There is one thing
that leads US to believe that no
eggs have been laid and that is the
yrasshoppers are so very small and

MIGHT BREAK STONE.
n Suggestion in Regard to Prison
ers of the State.

To the Editor of the Globe.
Having been in st. Cloud few days
ago and overbearlng good deal Of talk
on the convict labor question, in compe-
tltion with civilians rights, and seeing
the papers are devoting a good deal of
space in commenting on it and the man
agement of those state institutions, but
no one seeming to make any sugges-
lions to remedy them by which these
talks of jobbery can be done away with,
| herewith submit my ideas of the sub
ject. By what can learn the great aim
has been to try and make those inStitu-
tions Self-supporting, or as much so as
possible, but which seems to have been
generally demonstrated an utter failure
when considering the expense the
taxpayers of the state have been put to
in furnishing different experimental
plants for the manufactures tried. Now
| think there is one way that their labor
could be employed to the advantage of
the whole state, and that is, they could
be employed in breaking stone for
matchmaking our roads, for which both
the st. Cloud and Saltwater institutions
are admirably located, as there is an
endless supply of the raw ma
terial at both these places. My
method for distribution would be
that each county should be entitled to
so many tons in proportion to area and
population. that each district could
make applications through the county
commissioners for their supply, and the
power vested i'll the to decide what was
necessary for the best results to their
county. That our Legislators should
make some arrangements with the rail
roads, that they should distribute them
at so much per ton Oh the postal system
in any part of the state, and any coun-
ties having natural advantages that do
not require supply should be entitled
+ to their proportionate cost as a re-
bate on their taxes, for everybody
will admit that if there is any
thing Minnesota needs it is good roads.
Now. L think my ideas would have the
following advantages: First, it would
do away with the great bug-a-boo of
competition with honest labor. Second,
1t would be tried without a great cost to
the taxpayer for an expensive plant.
Third, no one will deny that good roads
are the best signs of civilization.
Fourth, all the taxpayers will see some
results for the taxes they pay to keep
up those institutions. Fifth, it will do
away with the charges of jobbery
against officers and wouId-be contract
ors and give us rest from these re-
ports of rOttenneSS in the management
of those institutions, | hope. Yours
truly, r. Ii. WILCOX.

the Question.
SO Far as Passes Are Involved
They Have Nothing to Do
With the Case.

Missouri Traffic Officials Op-
posed to Gould'S Com
petition.

CHICAGO, March FIT is claimed
that the controversy between the Bur-
lingtOn road and the board of rulings of
the Eastern lines, on the commission
question, is simply part of deep laid
scheme conceived by General Passen-
ger Agent Eustis, of the Burlington, in
furtherance of the movement to abolish
commissions and to limit the issuing of
free transportation TO the agents of
other roads. Mr.. EustiS said this after
noon: 1.-The article in reference to our
position upon the commission reform
which Eastern lines have undertaken
has no foundation whatever in fact.
We have no deep laid schemes for the
furtherance of the movement in ques-
ton, and have no idea that the action
of the Eastern roads will lead to the
adjustment of commissions. So
far as passes are concerned,
it has nothing to do with
this question. Last year we issued an
nual passes to large number of rail-
road men in the United States. This
year we are passing the same men upon
application, but are issuing trip passes
instead of ANIMALS. This is great deal
more work for us, and the reason the
annual passes are not issued is because
OF the pass agreement, to abrOgate
which would bring upon us many other
complications of a serious nature to
free transportation over the Burlington
lines now, as they ever were. Our con-
troversy with the Eastern lines on the
subject of the paying of commissions is
one which as yet does not interest peo-
pie generally. If the position the East
ern lines have taken is an unfair one,
we shall probably demonstrate it before
we get through, and when that is done
they will undoubtedly recede, as they
fight for position which is untenable."

COURT HOUSE FIRED.
Incendiaries at Work While the
Judge Sums Up.

Judge Sums Up.
CORK, March 27.-While the Judge
was summing up to-day in the court
house here, in the case of the govern
ment against Michael O'Brien, Dalton
and others charged with assaulting the
police and with rioting at Tipperary at
the time of the trial of Messrs. William
OBrien and John Dillon, the court
house was suddenly set Oh fire and
scene of alarm and confusion followed.
All the occupants of the building man.
aged to make their way to the
street. The police are investigating
the affair. The fire was discov-
cred by barrister who noticed the
reflection of the flames on the glass
dome of the room. The court was
packed at the time, and only the cool
ness of the judge and the police pre-
vented panic. Despite all efforts to
eXunguish the fire the flames spread
rapidly, and the building was soon all
ablaze. The court house, including the
municipal council chamber, and the
city and county offices, was totally de-
Stroyed. The intense heat melted the
lead on the roof of the building, and the
molten metal poured to the ground in
streams, hindering the work of the fire
men. Dnring the height of the fire the
roof of the court house suddenly fell in
with crash, and the walls collapsed,
to the imminent peril of large number
of bystanders, who had ventured
dangerously near to the burning
building. Some of the archives
were saved, but many documents,
some of them dating back for centuries,
were destroyed. When the flagstaff
which surmounted the building was
burned away, and the union jack fell
into the flames the onlookers set up a
great cheer. The cause of the fire is
attributed to defective fiue, which ig-
nited the woodwork of the roof. The
trial, which was so disturbed, will be
resumed at a later date.
