Something About the New Speaker as
the Washington People

AS announced in last nights extra Star
the speakership fight terminated On the
thirtieth ballot. In choosing the man
finally selected no experiment was tried.
Judge Crisp's career had shown that
he had at once the judicial qualities for a
presiding officer and the political qualities
requisite in leader in time of crisis
for his party. Wise in counsel, firm, but
moderate in temper, and conciliatory in
manner, the Georgia representative has
not often been surpassed in fullness of
qualifications for the high post to which
he has been called by the suffrages of his
fellow members
In some parts of the country there will
be temporary feeling of disappointment
over the defeat of local candidates or in
quarters where the new speaker is less
known than in his own section that the

Indeed all true stories are always sad
and we suppose that this must be as all
other stories are.
In the bright morn of youth

A man,

Started out to haul people-to carry

But the people tarried and they lin

not attend to business and they did not
ride.

And as the wild ass, of which Colonel
Job in his excellent narrative speaks,
took to his heels and for while was in
blaze of glory.
At this juncture Colonel Professor
Sheppe was violently and energetically
thrown across the car and into the mid
die of next summer and elsewhere, and
then the story runs that subsequently he
wiped his nose on the horse which was
at the other end.

Yesterday the appraisers of the lands in the

the ground Judge Jere Wilson, Mr.. Lambert
and otEer attorneys were there. as also the
property holders. who were prepared, as their
respective parcels were reached, to point out
their lines their improvements. &c.
During the day they went over a consider
able portion of the ground and took eopious
notes passing over the respective lines, and by
clock they had reached a portion of Mr..
Shoemakers land. That they accomplished SO
much work IS due one of the appraisers
said this morning. to the fact that Judge Viii
son kept pace with the surveyor and Mr.. Perry
who had been over the ground several times,
and they thought that if he could surmount the
hills. cross the ravines. &c, they could follow
leader, and they did.

bic information appeared to put them all in

STAR Why? Because the Saturday STAR al
instructive reading matter than any other pa
per in the country. 1t has no wishy-washy
stuff, but is prepared with tho great
est care, prominence being given always to
matters of District interest, for The STAR is
pre-eminently local paper. In looking afte r
this characteristic. however, the readers of The
STAR do not for a moment imagine that the
news Of the day and topics Of general public
interest and importance are neglected, for they
know full well that complete system of tele-
graphic service tells them what is going on all
over the world, while large corps of hustling
reporters and competent and energetic corre-
spondents never allow piece of news to escape
their vigilance. All that need be said, there
fore. is that tomorrow's issue will be not one
whit behind its predecessors in point of excel
Ience. The following are some of its special

Grasshoppers are devastating all plant life
which lies in their course in Colorado. Their
operations extend over a scope of country
twelve miles III width. They are moving north
and bid fair to lay waste all crops which they
come across. The ground is completely COW
cred with them. and they are SO numerous in
parts as to be an inch deep. Several upland
farmers have lost their entire crops. Many Of
these farmers have suffered for the last four
years from drought, and it is feared great dis
tress will be caused by this new misfortune.
