many have broken the oath to main

ara..hopp.r, Sion n rnIn.

Kalamazoo. Mich. Aug. 20.-For the
last week Kainmozoo and vicinity have
suffered from pest of grasshoppcrs
which Is said 70 he the worst ever
known here. Houses and stores are
swarmcd with the insects. and there
seems to bc no way to get rid of them.
In one restaurant to-day the serving OF
meals was discontinued until u large
swarm of hoppers could be driven out.
On account of the plague the city has
not burned Its electric lights for the
last few nights and all stores have
closed at q o'clock. The insects filled
up the arc-lamp globes and put the
lights out. Some of the hoppers are
nearly three inches long. and they sing
like locusts. In the celery fields their
music is deafcning.
This afternoon between Crcssy and
Delton train was stopped by an
army of hoppcrs which extended for
several rods and completely covered
the track for several inches. The
crushed bodies OF the hoppers acted
like oil on the rails. the drive wheels
of the engine refusing to work until
the insects had been shovelcd away by
the trainmen.

| PARDONING BANK PLUNDERERS. | It is said that the President has par doned or Is about to pardon an Iowan named Cassatt who was sentenced to the penitentiary for nine years for plundering and bankrupting the na- tional bank at Pella, of which he was President He has served four years and nine months of his term, and is said to be fin badly broken health" That
 is the customary reason advanced to
 support an application for the pardon
 of convicts who have been respectable.
 It may be that there are urgent reasons
 in this case which justify pardon. If
 there are not, then this dishonest bank
 CT should stay where he is. Men who
 have been sent to prison because of of-
 fences against the national bank act
 are not entitled to special executive
 laniency and yet, as rule, they have
 received it.
 Much stress has been laid on the hard ships of prison life for respectable" man as compared with professional criminal It is true that banker finds
 prison life peculiarly distasteful, but he has nobody but himself to blame for his incarceration. The crimes which send bank presidents and cashiers to the pententiary are not crimes of im- pulse. but of deliberation and premedi- tation. Being, as a rule, intelligent men, ther eis no excuse whatever for their of- fences. Therefore they ought to be ee- verely punished, Unpremeditated crimes may be pardoned. Premeditat~ ed crimes should not be. Nothing will give depositors in national banks q greater feeling of security than the n- fiction of condign punishment on dis honest bank officers. For they will know that there will be much less dis honesty among those officers when the latter understand they will not be treat ted with distinguished consideration when they break the laws.-Chicago Tribune.@
