AUTOMATIC coUPLERs.
Eastern Roads Can Not Comm,
with the I.ny

WIN the LAW.
Eastern roads are not in as good shape
as the Texas lines to comply with the eu-
tematic COUPLER and train brake law by
January l. The fact that such roads as
the New York Central, which owns 3S,s97
cars, has yet no automatic couplers on its
cars and has yet to equip 55 per cent Of It's
cars with air brakes, Is evidence to that
effect. The Erie has 403SS cars, and yet
has "a per cent to equip with automatic
couplers, and 30 per cent with air brakes
The Chesapeake and Ohio owns 1927 cars
80 per cent of which are yet to be equipped
with automatic couplers and AZ per cent
with air brakes The Baltimore and Ohio
owns 1921 cars, so per cent of which are
yet to be equipped with automatic ccuplers
and so per cent with air brakes. The Penn
sylvania lines east CT Pittsburg own 6i,a75
cars, SIS per cent of which hive yet to be
equipped with automatic couplers and As
per cent with air brakes. The Pennsyl-
wanna lines west Of Pittsburg own 52,5lS
cars. and have yet to equip CT per cent
with automatic couplers and 3S per cent
with air brakes. The Chicago and North
western owns 35.0l7 cars, and has vet to

Kansas. The middle-o f- the road
populists say that he begged them
to send him as a delegate to the
populist national reorganization con-
vention, which is to reorganize the
populist party and everything else
next July. Whereupon Mr., Breid-
enthal denotes his want of confidence
in the story in these moving terms /:
"If | owed the devil 10000 liars,
and he wouldn't take Abe Stein
berger and John Willis as full pay

repudiate the debt"
This is lovely language, but wait
until Mr.. Willis and Mr.. Steinberger
are heard from. Depend upon it,
in them, too, there is excellent bonn
biliation.

Another View of the 1atter.
Public Opinion.

~ OpluiOu.
The law provides that no part of
an appropriation for expenses for a
certain year can be carried over and
used for the following year. That is,
for instance, if the Legislature pro-
vides $4,000 for fuel for any state
institution for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1898, and there be but 49,
900 required and used, the other
$4,000 must revert to the treasurer.
In v%etoing the appropriation for fuel
at the Yankton asylum for the year
ending June 80, 1899, the governor
seems to have cut off all means for
supplying the institution with fuel
for that year. If, as the governor
has alleged, the $4,000 appropri-
ated for the year ending June 30,
1898, is more than is required for
the year, the balance left cannot be
used for the following year. As
matters now stand, the asylum will
be absolutely without fuel of any
sort in 1892. But. of course, the
governor has agreed to keep the IN
stitution Supplied with fuel out of
his own pocket, if his veto causes
any Inconvenience il the matter OF
obtaining fuel. This was very kind
on the part Of Andy Lee. Perhaps
Mr.. Lee intends to blossom from a

The vote on the cotton schedules
of the new tariff bill furnishes adj
ditional proof that the democrats are
protectionists when local interests
are concerned. They want protec-
ton for themselves, but care nothing
for the welfare Of the other fellows.
The republicans, on the other hand,
favor a tariff that will as nearly as
possible confer equal benefits upon
all and special privileges to none.

Considerable excitement was occasion
ed in the city Monday by the report that
grasshoppers had made heirappearance
in Day County in alarming numbers :
that they had destroyed ten acres OF
wheat on the Butler place near Butler.
Upon investigation, it seemed the rumor
was well founded. as George Butler was
the author of it. He is a good. respon-
sible man on all subjects excepting the
hopper questions II" said he was out
on his field SUNDAY aad found that the
hoppers had cleaned off ten acres until
1t was as bare IA the street that they
were there by the thousands and the
work OF destruction was going on to an
alarming extent.
Auditor Egeland notified the commits
sioners and a special meeting OF the
board was called to investigate the mat
ter. CONS Bailey, Bryant and Moore
met at the court house Wednesday and
decided to go to the scene OF the devas-
tation. About one.o'clock, Il party con-
sisting OF the above-named members oil
the board; Auditor Egeland, Treasurer
ieager, F.. A. Peterson. l.. G.. Ochsenrei-
ter, A. III. Kramer, ID. b. Compton and
w. ). ID. Adams started for the infected
district, Yeager acting as pilot.
They do say that for several nights
Ochsenreiter's slumbers have been dis
turbed with visions OF large numbers OF
armies OF hoppers with llopperdozers by
the dozen, aud carloads OF crude petro-
leum, and .sOchsenreiter & Small" on
each machine. He was worked up to
such a state OF nervous excitement that
they fairly ran the team in their anxiety
to reach the seat OF war. They struck
out direct for the Butler farm, the rest
of the party following at "a more moder-
ate rate.
When we reached the crest of a hill
some half mile distant we could see the
reflection OF the sunlight on the specta-
cles OF O~chsenreiter and Kramer as they
scampered around over the barren field.
Finally a happy thought seemed to
strike the searchers and they got down
on all tours aud commenced to dig in
earth, thinking, we supposed, that the
hoppers had seen them coming and had
hunted their holes, but despite their
most earnest efforts not ~ hopper were
they able to uuearth.
When we arrived on the field their
ardor had somewhat cooled aud the
look OF disgust depicted on their coun-
t%enances was n sight to behold. The
party divided and scattered over the
iield, but were not able to lind Il single
locust-a few cutworms were in evidence
however. After a thorough investiga-
ton aud arriving at the decision that
this was The biggest Wild COOS chase
ever participated in by sane men. we
started for the town oi Butler. When.
nearly there our party wrs met by Geo.
Butler, and it was decided To go back
with George and have him show us his
