GOVERNOR ROOSEVELT made two speeches in
Baltimore last Saturday night, one inside and
the other outside Music Hall, and was listened
to by many thousands of people. On the sub
ject of promises" he was very emphatic. He
said: Now, gentlemen, ought not to have
reminded any audience of the obvious truth
that the worth of promise come in its per-
Torrance, and that just as much if it is
promise made on the stump as if it is one
made in private life. There is as little excuse
for politician failing to keep his word to the
people as there is little excuse for private citi-
zen failing to keep his word to another private
citizen. There is a converse side to that. 1t is
an outrage not to keep promise when made,
and it is very foolish thing to ask that
promise should be made which cannot be kept.
That is the other side. Whenever you find men
demanding the millennium, and that quick,
those men are ripe for the political quack,
because no man who is both honest and intel
ligent will promise that we cannot keep, and
if there is tendency to exact an impossible
promise it means that there is a tendency to
put in public life men who will not keep the
possible promise"
THE REPUBLICAN outlook in Maryland con-
tinues to be bright, says the St. Louis Globe
Democrat. A few of the gold Democrats of
that State who we're working with the Repub-
licans in 1895 have gone back to Bryan, but, on
the other hand many of the younger Demo-
Gratis are said to be coming over to the Repub-
lican side. Maryland's swing to the Republi-
cans in 1895 and 1896 was big change for
that State, but there is good reason to believe
that Maryland this year will repeat its act of
four years ago.

A Rema kable Grass'hopper Plague.

Some years ago the lower part of
Russia was devastated by swarms of
grasshoppers. The people were de-
prived of food. the insects eating up
the entire crop. and a famine of ap-
palling dimensions began. The en-
peror ordered out an army Of more
than 5000 men to fight them. who,
armed with shovels. formed in line
and heaped up the insects. which
were then buried. But this singular
attack apparently made no impress
sion, though millions of bushels of
grasshoppers We're destroyed. They
devastated an area over 400 miles wide
and GOO niles In length. leaving 1t as
bare of veg etation as 1t would have
been had fire swept over the land.
The insects were In such swarms that
they piled up In places like snow
horses coult1 not drag wagons through
them aud became covered. They flew
and crawlsld into houses and drove
people out by the terrible odor. II
was estimated that 5000 people died
as the dir ect result of this plague.

Saving Straw.

A Kansas correspondent of the
Farmers Tribune calls attention to
The great waste on many farms by the
careless way in which the straw Is
put up, not in stacks, but in piles,
usually by gang of boys who think
they are doing all that is expected
Of them If they can keep it out Of the
way of the carrier or the elevator.
We think there are farmers nearer
than Kansas who have the same
fault, and lose money by it. Straw Is
too valuable as rough fodder in
sections where hay is high priced
to be wasted as it often is. And even
where hay is cheap there are uses for
straw as mulch, as thatching and bed
iing, for which it is worth more than
hay. Put a good man at the straw
stack, or build good stack of the
straw after the threshing is over, and
then try to learn how to save money
by making n profitable use of that
which is now going to waste.-The
