THAT GRAssHoPpER SCARE.

The EAGLE at the very first assured its
readers that there was nothing to Kan
sas in the grasshopper scare. The Col
orado and Arizona breed of grasShopper
is not the red-leg that has swept down
over Kansas four times in thirty years.
Our plague was identical with the Egyp-
tan locust and is not grasshopper. He
is not any kind of hopper. He crawls
and fys. Professors Snow and Popenoe
ought to have known at the first,
also, that the late cry was nothing but a
scare. The little fellow that sweeps over
southern Russia now and then in drouthy
summers, and which never swept over
Kansas except in very dry seasons, when
vegetation was scarce, with a favorable
wind will travel from two to four hun
dred miles in twenty-four hours. They
will be reported in the far northwest
British possessions one day, in Montana
the next, and in two or three days light
ali over Kansas in perfect clouds. In
1874 In two days after reaching southern
Kansas they were in southern Texas,
and in a short time thereafter were
lighting on vessels far out on the waters
of the gulf. There is another thing
about this red-leg. While they filled
the earth with their eggs at each vista
ton, Kansas crops were never hurt by
the young of the next spring to any APP
preciable extent. They disappeared as
suddenly as their projenitors appeared.

Leavenworth Times: 80 far the
sugar bounty does not seem to be &C
complishing much toward encouraging
the production Of sugar in this country.
What then? Shall we repeal the bounty
provision and reinstate the tariff? Is it
better to pay $50, 100000 than $4,000, 900:
If the bounty does not stimulate the pro-
duction then discontinue the bounty.
But its failure is only new evidence of
the uselessness of a tariff on sugar"
Abstractly stated, and as far as the
stimulating effects of the tariff go it
might be discontinued; though where to
lay the burden of 500, 900, 900 lost to the
government by removing. the tariff-which
amount must be raised from some source
if the current rate of public expenditures
is to continue-by no means relieves the
question Of the serious perplexity that
has invested it for years.

Nervous PrOStratiOn.

The symptoms begin in spring and
early in summer. They resemble the
symptoms of malaria very closely. 1t
is a prolific source of paralysis, sun
stroke. apoplexy, in,anity, hysteria
and insomnia. The strong and weak
of both sexes are alike its victims.
Creeping rigors, slight, chilly feelings
and cold sweat, especially at night,
tired feelings, drowsiness, mental con-
fusion, dependency, morbid fear,
pale, abundant urine. weak back and
palptation. No one who has any or
all of the above symptoms should neg
lect to get Peru ma and use it faith
fully until they entirely disappear,
1t is perfect remedy for this condi.
ton. As the hot weather. with all it's
depressing effects approaches, Peru
ma lnvigorates and tones up the ner-
vous system, averting nervous pros
tration in all OF it's various forms; and,
taken in the most advanced stagesof
the disease, will permanently cure
every uncomplicated case. 1t is fool

neverfailing remedy at a time when
every one is exposed to such serious
liabilities. A valuable book on ner-

RECOVERY OF ONE OF THE BODIES Al
GALVESTON.
GALVESTON, June 22.-The body Of
N. G. Hariand, drowned in the Gull
last night while bathing, was found
near the east end of the island this
morning and brought to this city
where, in response to a telegram from
j. Q. Harland, brother of the deceased,
the body was coffined and forwarded
to Waynesville, Ohio, the deceased's
old home.
The body of Harry Shoulder of New

been recovered yet, although vigil
liant patrol has been kept up along
the beach last night and tod y. His
aged mother, who accompanied him
from the Crescent City with the excur,

THE lNlTIAT0RY.

1t takes cooperation to secure sue
cess in all enterprises. In no way mas
the truth of this been better exampled
than in the management of the
Worlds fair in Chicago. At first the
entire country seemed to deride the ef-
forts of Chicago to make a success OF
the fair, but the people OF Chicago
worked together in concert and got
their start. Now the balance OF the
world is coming to their aid. That's
the way Austin should do in this state
encampment business. 1t is a great
big enterprise with great big dividends
| in it for the people of Austin. 1t can
be great big success or very little
one. The adjutant general is work
ing hard to make it a grand affair
Austin should advertise it and let
Texas and the balance Of the Union
know what is going on,
but as yet little or nothing has
been done in that direction. The
secret of success in all enterprises OF
this character is advertising. One OF
the biggest departments of the Chi
cago Worlds fair management is the
Advertising department. Que OF the
most potent motors in moving for
ward public sentiment and public
sympathy in all times and places Is
advertising. Judicious advertising.
untiring advertising, advertising on a
wholesale scale will bring success to
anything deserving of success. This
encampment deserves to be looked
upon as something more than a mere
passing show" The boys and their
commanders will do their parts, only
let Austin aid them in every possible
way and the result will be all
that could be desired. At first there
may be some places that will
withhold their approval, but they will
be few and they will grow less. AT
first there will be some misguided that
will try to throw discredit on the ell
campment, on Austin and on those
who brought the encampIuent here,
but little by little even their i'll ad-
vised opposition will be silenced, and
as the encampments come here year
by year, state pride and fraternal in
terest will predominant and all Texas
will aid, all Texas will praise the an
nual encampments of the Texas Vol
unteer Guards held in Austin, the cap |
ital of the state, the only right and
proper place whey they should be
held. The first step toward this de-
sired end must be taken by Austin,
and that soon. Take it.

lupe river, about three miles below
the city, this afternoon. Justice Cars.
ner has just returned from holding
the inquest, and from him is learned
the details OF a most terrible and cow
ardly murder The victims resided
about 100 yards from the river. From
their house to the river there WAS a
track of blood, and near the bank are
their CORY garments.
Bullet holes were found in the bodies
of both and the fact that there were
no signs of a struggle in the house in
Dictated that they were assassinated
and their bodies thrown into the river
afterwards. The murdered people
were last seen on Friday. Very little
was known of them by their neighbors
with whom they had no intimacy.
They came from Mexico this snriug.
q d the man seemed to be rather a
prosperous farmer. 1t was developed
that they were not man and wife and
the only theory advanced as clue to
the cause of the murder has been this
for basis.
The supposition is that the woman's
husband had pursued the couple from
Mexico and wreaked his vengeance
upon them. The mans name, as near
as can be learned from the Mexicans
was Parlos Sanchez, and the woman
was named Margaret. The officers
are on the look out for the murderer.

THE ISSUE IN 'g2.

The Republicans have made more
than one abortive attempt to shift the
issue from the tariff to some other less
important question. But as we drift
tow ards the great contest next year it
becomes clear that the battle will be
fought on the tariff. All other issues
will be thrown in the shade. Both
parties will go into the fight with the
understanding that the question
whether one section of the country OIL
one class of the people shall be taxed
for the benefit of another section or
class; whether agriculture shall be
blighted to enrich the manufacturers
will be decided.
1t is about time the matter should
be settled. The South and West, the
farmers of Alabama and Texas and
Ohio and Illinois as well, have long
groaned under the unjust discrimina-
ton of high protective tariff. The
farming interests can not stand
it any longer, and next year
we must all-every Democrat, every
farmer throughout the United States
put our shoulders to the wheel and
by one mighty effort overthrow the
high protective tariff, the most stu
pendous crime of the century. The
great masses of the country are with
the Democracy, and if we make no
mistake, victory awaits as overwhelm-
ing to the protectionists as the rob-
berry perpetrated under that system is
colossal. What the Democrats are
centending for is, not free trade as that
term is generally understood, but to
bring down tariff taxation to the
actual needs OF the government, That
the people favor the change is APP |
parent on all sides. The abandon
ment of the protective idea, and the
robber tariff OF Mckinley must come.
We must all pull together for that |
great end. In the meantime the lin Q
must be strictly drawn. He who adj
vocates protective tariff cannot re-
main in the Democratic party, but
will have to align himself with the
Republicans. We hope next year to
lot only overthrow protection and
the protectionists, but to destroy the
party. Stranger things
have happened in the history of po-
litical parties.

ALL other New York papers are as
pigmies beside the New York World
when it comes to enterprise and prog
ress. While others are making faces
at Chicago for securing the site of the
Worlds fair, the New York World
publishes big edition showing the
magnitude Of the thing and commend
ing the manner in which Chicago has
taken hold Of it. The World says,
4'Chicago is preparing for it on STU
pendous scale, and it will be revela-
ton Of Chicago's greatness. That's
why Chicago wanted it and that &
why she got it. For similar reasons,
though ON a diminished scale, Aus tin
wanted the annual encampment OF
the Texas Volunteer Guards held here.
Austin secured the prize, and now it
remains to be seen how many papers
outside of Austin can emulate the
World, how many will remain buried
beneath their own littleness, letting
pique and pig-headed jealousy run
away with their wit and their wisdom.
