Senator Hansbrough's bill, introduced
IN the senate for an appropriation of 3d..
100000, is just the right thing in the
right time and place to supply the burn
ing needs of our sister ~states-South Da-
kota. Minnesota md Observation-Disclosures
Dakota in e~xtermanatin. that terrible
pest the Russian Cactus.' This bill is
one of the most commendiable bill ever
introduced III congress or any where else
and the parties -either singly, jointly, or
anyother way, who would oppose this bill.
Is a traitor to his own interests and the
interests of the entire human family.
Now friends do not mistake the meaning
Of this bill. The bill has been introduc-
ed in the interests of Justice and human
ity and unlike other bills introduced by
certain other Individually it is not intend
Ell to Cypress the masses and upbuild n few
but just the reverse-upbuild US nll. And
IN conclusion VIC would advise our readers
to stick to Senator Hunsbrouch and his
bill if you wish to come out ahead of the
cactus.
1t is to be hoped that congress will
ignore the views of the secretary OF
agriculture and the chairman of the
senate committee on agriculture and
look into the merits and urgeny of the
Russian thistle bill There is abundan,
evidence that this pest is a deadly enemy
OF agriculture. It's progress IN the mort
west thus far has been rapid and destr,ct
i've. 1t threatens every farmer in the
Dakotas md Minnesota. It's destructive
invasion will not stop at these states.
10 advances with the deadly precision Of
a vast army of grass hoppers. II will ere
long, devastate Secretary Morton's own
State of Nebraska, and when he realizes
what the Russian thistle really is he will
doubtless be as anxious as ANYBODY to
to successfully fight it.
This thistle fight is one which the a9ri.
cultural department must take IN as
earnestly as it has taken up the fight
against cattle diseases. There is just rs
much urgency in the thistle cas-" as il,
the cattle disease case The thistle is worse
than any cattle disease, because it makes
eao land unavailable for cropping or past
orage. This fact cannot be eyaded.
Int Dill OF Senator Hansbrongi is JUST
ned by the actual ~menacing conditions. 1t
should be passed without hesitation

Senator Hausbrough has introd uced a
bill authorizing thu secretary of asricnl-
ture to employ agents whose duty 1t shall
be to make Investigations in regard to tho
existence of the Russian tactus, tho weed
pest, which is nov over oyorrnnniny por-
lions of North and South DAKOTA. Iowa
and Minnesota. Upon Information that
tho cactus is growing and thriving upon
any OF the lands in any of the states or
territories tho secretary is authorized to
employ such help as may be needed to e.-
terminate the plant. a million dollars is
appropriated for the purpose of carrying
out the provisions of the bill.
In support of his measure tho senator
stated tlat ONE years ago the govern
ment appropriated money for the pur-
pose Of stamping out pleuro-pneumonia
and other dangerous diseases among cat
tie, and with this as aprccedent the farm
ors were justified in asking for aid in OK
terminating the cactus.
TO show the dangerous character of the
pest no stated that he had recently met
and talked with an eminent Russian
scientist, Prince GaIitzen, who is a mem.
Der of the Russian Geographical society
aud vice-2resident of thc agricultural soci-
ety of the province of Pultaya. Prince Gal
itzen stated that he had travelled through
the country in southwestern Siberia, ex-
tending over 500 OR 600 milos in one
stretch, where the Russian cactus had
driven out every other kind of vegetation
and caused hundreds of farmers to aban-
don their lands. The great irrigation
works begun Il few years ago by Inc Rus
sian government in southwestern Siberia
have been abandoned on account of the
TACT that the Russian cactus has simply
taken possession of that region. 1t is
pushing over also into the provinces o:
Ural and Kled and o~vocrunniny the very
rich farming sections of that County,
The local government have attempted to
check its spread but find thema"ly-s IN
equal SO the great emergency ana She pro.
vlnc'al authorities are appealing to the
national authorities for assistance for as
sistanco. In R1ssia, according TO Prince
aa'itzsn. there is but oas way to cope
with this terrible past and that is by at
tEcking it early i'll the spring, when it frss
appears and by either digging or pulling
1t from the ground. IT left to ma5ars it
will scattor its seels in every direction.
Senator Hansbrough's bill is timely and
If passed will be of great bauent to the

ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. 1.-The Demo
cratic caucus of tie Georgia General
Assembly nominated two United
States Senator'S this afternoon. The
appointment of Senator Patrick Walsh
by GoverEor Northern was unanimous
ly confirmed by his election to fill out
tie unexpired term of the late Senator
CoIquit!. Fer the loag term beginning
March 4, 1895, Hoo. Augustus o.
Bacon was nominated on the first
ballot, he recelved ninetY-ihrse votes.
Congressman Henry &. Turner re-
csived thirty-segen votes, L. F. Gar
rard tWenty-one votes and Patrick
Walsh nine votes f0c the long term.
The nomination Of Major Bacon was
then made unanimous. The contest
has been very heated one and the
candidates have been on the stnmp for
the past few months. Of the four can
didates, Bacon, Walsh aud Garrard are
recognized as silver men and Turner
represented the attitude cf the admin
istration on the financial question.
Both Bacon and Walsh, the two Sena-
tors nominated today, are outspoken
in their advocacy of return to the free
and unlimited coinage Of silver at
ratio of 16 to l, and each of them favor
action by this country in the settlement
of the financial question without re-
gard to international agreement. Mr..
Turner strongly advocated the views
of Mr. Cleveland on the fnaacia! ques-
tion and based his candidacy on that
line. The election will take place next
Tuesday.

When our civil war had passed, the
