The importance OF Language.

One o. the great faults OF the young
men OF to-day is they do not attach
sufficient Importance to language and
its meaning. A youth will visit a girl
say at o'clock in the evening and
VOWS repeatedly he only called to stay
few moments and yet it is all the
maiden can do to get him out the door

GERMAN COMMENT.
REVIEWED BY THE EMPEROR.

Newspapers Guarded I'm What They Say About
the Political Phase of the Visit
tCopyright. Issl by the New York Associated Press
BERLIN, July 1.-THE papers of this city
overflow with accounts of the popular
triumph of Emperor William in London.
The semi-official papers. in commenting on
the reception OF the German Emperor in
England, adopt remarkably guarded tone
and avoid all reference to an alliance with
England as an accomplished fact. These
papers simply re-echo the Emperor's speech
ut Guildhall. Thus the North German Ga
zette remarks that the Emperor's utterances
at Guildhall coincide completely with the
views of the industrious and energetic peo-
pie of Great Britain in favor Of the main
tenance of peace.
The independent papers criticise the Em-
peror's reception aseniphasizing the friend
ly sentiments of England towards Ger
many and towards the Emperor as a rela-
tive OF the royal family without being q
popular Endorsement of the policy of Lord
Salisbury. The Freissininge Zeitung holds
that the general character of the celebra-
tions in honor of the Emperor. and especi-
ally those of the court aud government. ac-
cordingly must be taken as an open decla-
ration OF Enaland's adhesion TO the Drei-
bune. Articles III the Russian aud French

EDGAR SALTUS DIVORCED.


NEW YORK, July 11.-Edgar A. Salrus's
wife has obtained her divorce. He has
been declared by the courts to have
been guilty Of conduct unbecoming bus-
band, and decree Of absolute divorce has
been granted. 1t seems that the writer of
lurid fiction had been something of man
about town for some time. When
he appeared at Saratoga. or Richiield
Springs. almost rybody appeared
anxious to meet him, as they thought he
must be n very bad man. to write such sug-
gestive books. He was lionized for a time.
and the sudden popularity of his uncon-
ventional books made him the center of at
traction wherever he appeared. He is in
appearance somewhat dudish looking, and
affects the English style. He is about thir-
ty-five years DID, u little under the average
hight. and has a thick-set figure. His COM
plexion is as dark as that of Spanard.
His hair is jet black and ne wears heavy
black mustache.
The decree IS aligned by Judge Lawrence
and dissolves the marriage, giving Mrs.
Saltus the right to assume her maiden
name. Helen Read, and to marry again. 1t
frees Edgar from the bonds of matrimony,
but does not permit him to marry again
during the life of his former wife. He is
charged with the costs in the action, some
S425.

WiNGLESS GRASSHOPPERS.
About AGO Square Miles of Eastern Colorado
Covered with the Young Insects.

TOPEKA. Kan. July 11.-A reporter of
the Topeka Democrat, who was sent to in
vestigate the reports that grasshop-
pers were swarming in the eastern part
of Colorado, telegraphed his paper to-day
that there had been no exaggeration OF the
facts. Grasshoppers are swarming in in
Vulnerable numbers over q section of the
eastern part of the State and
are destroying everything above
ground. They cover an area of
aoout AGO square miles, with Bovina as its
center. Trains passing through that Sec
tion are seriously delayed every night by
the grasshoppers. who swarm upon the
warm rails after the sun has gone down and
the air cOols off. AS the engine passes over
them they are mashed into greasy SUBJ
stance. which prevents the revolution of the
drlving-wheels. The grasshoppers are OF
the small wlnRless kind. Next year they
will have developed into the winged varie-
ty. and then there will be o return of the
plague of 1874 and 1875.

VIII Hold an Inquest on smiler's Body.

NEW YORK. July 1l.-Coroner Levy
of Harris A. Smiler exhumed. 1t Is buried
in Woodlawn Cemetery, within the city
limits. and the coroner claims that as no
inquest was held at Sing Sing prison after
Smiler's execution, ho has authority to
hold one noyr. He asserts that if il is true.
as published. that il required several
shocks to produce death the execution was
contrary to the law, which says that no
torture shall be inflicted. He intends to

DEMOCRATIC CLUB SAYINGS.

It is said that Henri Watterson is prepar-
ing bank bill that contemplates the gov
ernment taking unto itself the monopoly of
distilling whisky He will make old Bour-
bon the basis of his banking system. The
older the whisky gets the better it gets and
the more it is worth, especially when the
government has d monopoly So the older
the bank got the more solvent it would be-
come. 1t would be 4 monopoly, of course,
but it is no worse than monopoly of gold,
or credit. or money issue such as the gov
eminent now has. 1t is said that Governor
Gibbs has agreed to accept Watterson's sub
stitute, and move TO Kentucky and start
bank. He says he knows whisky is better
than bonds, for he has seen one and tasted
the other.
Those men who propose to read every
body out of the party who has suggested
any plan TO get legal tender in circulation,
should refer to the plank in the last national
Democratic platform which is violated.
The Democratic party has declared in favor
OF more circulating medium, and at pres emit
every Democrat is entitled to his opinion as
TO the best method of getting it TO the peo-
pie. Is there any more authority in the
national platform for Col. Culberson's
deficit scheme than for the sub-treasury,
the Gibbs bill or Senator Coke's amend
ment to the national bank bill2 Some men
who are yelling about Democracy had
better read the national Democratic
platform.
Senator Coke's bill in the last congress
proposed to timber up the national bank
system so that these banks could loan
money in their discretion on real estate and
farm products. If the government con-
siders this good enough security 10 loan
money on indirectly through the banks, why
not consider agricultural land good
enough basis for direct issuen Where is

THE AUTHOR OF THE EVIL.

When congress was considering the
Mckinley bill, and had advanced far
enough in the discussion OF it to indi-
cate that it would be adopted, far
sighted importers took steps 10 protect
themselves against it in some small
degree. Feeling certain that it would
put up the tariff on all imported goods,
they made enormous purchases in
France and England OF dutiable arti-
cles. and rushed them in under the old
tariff 1t was a neat bit OF business en-
terprise on their part. After the Nc
Kiniey bill should go into effect it
would advance the price OF all mer-
chandise on which the tariff was adj
vanced. That landed in the country
under the lower tariff would share the
advance without paying the higher
rate. There was big profit in the
business. and the importations We're
enormous.
These goods had TO be paid for, aid
the tariff on them had to be paid in
gold 1t was then that the balance OF
trade began TO turn against us, and
gold turned toward Europe. The de-
mand for money to meet the unusually
heavy bills for European imports
brought about financial stringency in
New York, which soon communicated
itself TO the interior. That was the be-
ginning of the panic. People who had
money in use began to take fright and
draw it in. With a hundred million
dollars more in the country than there
was two years before, business men
were pinched for money. Now, nearly
a year after the trouble began, its ef-
fleets are still visible.
The Mckinley bill started the trou-
bic. The man who has gone through
ten months of struggling to get money
to carry on his business, and who can
walk up to the polls and vote for the
party that defends and honor5 McKin-
leyism, deserves all that he has had TO
hear,

Zeno e. Ross said yesterday that regard
less of what the financial situation might
be elsewhere the crops of Texas would put
this state in good condition. 1t is estimated
that the sale of wheat and oats alone will
bring sl2000,0 600 to Texas in the next few
months The cotton crop will bring $751;
coo, 600 to 800. 600, 900. Corn will bring mil
lions and so will hogs and cattle. Texas
will witness greater material prosperity in
1891 than in any year in her history.
