Boz INGERsOLL says that "POpulism
is insanity.'' The last time he was in
Minneapolis he said that "if the coun-

times would return on Monday" Some

sanity. This idea has been intensified
by Ingcrsoll's recent Endorsement Of

The Russian Thistle.


A writer in the Scientific American
draws this picture of the devasta tion
wrought by the Russian thistles in
the Dakotas:
"Grain elevators closed, railroads
without traffic, farmers without
crops, settlers leaving large areas of
otherwise rich farming lands. vast
regions without furrow turned
where in other seasons all the grain
lands were plowed for next years crop
these are the signs on every hand of
the devastation wrought by the Rus
sian thistle in the Dakotas. At pres
ent it is impossible to predict the fu-
ture ravages of scourge that has
caused damage this year running into
the scores Of millions and that may
drive the grain farmer out of all the
prairie states.
The first effects of the thistle will
be to drive farmers in the infested
region to tilling more cultivated
crops. The grain acreage in this
region will be reduced from fifty to
seventy-five per cent. The gra niger
railroads will show enormous falling
off in grain freight receipts for the
last quarter of 1894, as about three
elevators out Of four are closed for
want Of crops. An immense emigra-
tion is taking place out of the regions
mentioned"
This is terrible picture, but bad
as these thistleS are they are not equal
to the ravages of the usurers, the ma
chine men, the elevators, the wheat
ring and the two old parties in those
unfortunate StateS-NOrth and South
Dakota. The worst of the business is
| the farmers may turn out and cut
| and slash and burn the thistles, but
Christianity and the laws of the
land will not permit them to treat
their human destroyers in thr same
way. The more's the pity of it..

A Protiy state ofAGairs.

The Teamoh incident has brought
about very bitter feeling among some OF
the leading colored people OF this city.
w. w. Browne, the head OF the True
Reformers, wrote letter criticising
Teamoh and John Mitchel1. Mitchell
made a reply, and his position was en-
dorsed at mass meeting Of negroes
attended by nearly all the colored
pastors. Now tho True Reformers have
met and sided with Browne. Mitchell
nnd Browne are regarded as the leading
men of their race here. Browne Is re-
garded more highly by the whites for
the reason that he is not such bitter
partisan as the editor of tho Planet.
The controversy Is nos ended by any
means, and the negroes are intensely
interested in it.-Rlchmond correspon-
