Facts are said to be "stubborn things," and the average investigator of facts finds the fact established beyond question. It will not do, however, to give up the struggle or relax our efforts to overcome stubborn facts if they stand in the way of progress, or endanger life, health or possessions. It is set down as a fact that - in the year 1375 ten thousand persons were driven out of the state of Kansas by grasshoppers. Just how many grasshoppers are required to remove such an army of settlers beyond state lines and send them into temporary or permanent exile is not stated, and the fact will probably never be accurately known. In thw connection it is stated that the grasshoppers which drove ten thousand people out of Kansas were the offspring of swarms which the year previous started out from their Rocky Mountain home on a mission of devastation. Of late years the visitations of these Rocky Mountain locusts to remote sections of the country have been more frequent, until at last they have credited widespread alarm. The great breeding places pre the far western territories, and they are nov looked, upon a enemies more to be dreaded than savage tribes. i$p formidable have these insects become that empire states find it impossible to resist their encroachments or arrest the destruction of their visitations. In seasons of drouth, grasshoppers breed untold millions. Home supplies of food ae poon exhausted, and then they take wing and fly to more productive climes hundreds of miles away. Ith suggested that the weather bureau may Contribute valuable information in regard to locust years, indicating the coming seasons of drouth, and in this way prepare the farmer to devise plans to rescue at least some portion of his crops from their insatiable maw. So far, however, it has mattered little what the information has been, the oana of rescuing growing crops from the ravenous rapacity of the grasshopper have not been discovered. Here, then, is a case for the study of meteorologists and entomologists, and it is proposed that the general government shall take the subject in hand. A writer makes the suggestion, that a the government has provided a well organized corps of weather observers, that a number of competent entomologists shall take the field under government auspices. In elaborating this idea the writer is of the opinion that "not only should the border states, especially Texas, Kansas, 'Nebraska, Minnesota and Iowa employ entomologists, following the liberal policy of 'Missouri, which for eight years has had a 'state entomologist, whose reports have 'proved of incalculable practical value to the people of that state, but the habits of 'the locust need first of all to be- thoroughly studied in the territories, particularly 'in Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Dakota, 'Utah, New Mexico, Arizona and in the new state of Colorado. A commission of ento'mologists should be appointed to make a thorough study of the locusts in the terri- ' 'tories mentioned." To accomplish this the governors of western states, who recently met at Otu.au. recommended that an appropriation be made by the general government for the purpose of defraying the expenses of a commission to be attached to the existing United States geological and ' geographical survey of tke territories as a means of securing the speediest and beet results. The -action of the general rovernment i demanded, in view of the va-t interests at stake, which are of such national ioiiortance that a refusal to take them under its foster ing care and protection is little less than suicidal. The propriety of the movement to secure governmental aid, it is believed, is warranted by tke figures, which placed the agricultural products f the country in 1S70 at the value of 12,500,00,00). Of this amount, it ia estimated hal products to the amount of $200,000,000 jltc destroyed by insects alone. Professor Kiley is of the opinion that losses during 1174 from locust exceeded $15,000,000 in the atate of Missonri, and in other western states the amount is set down at $45,000,000. The estimated lois by chinch bugs in Illinois in was over $73,000,000 and in Missouri $19,000,000. The average annual loss to 'the cotton crop from the attacks of the col'ton army worm alone is estimated at $50,"W0,000. Adding to these the losses sus-

tained by the attacks of about a thousand 'other species of insects which affect our 'cereals, forage and field crops, fruit trees 'and shrubs, garden vegetables, shade and 'ornamental trees, as well as our hard wood 'and pine forests, and stored fruits, and it will not be thought an exaggeration to put our annual losses at about $200,000,000." It is not surprising, therefore, in view of this array of figures, that aid is expected from the general government to arrest the destruction by the insect enemies of agriculture. It is believed that with care and forethought, based on the observation of facts by scientific men, that from $50,000.000 to $100,000,000 can be saved annually, and the recommendation is made that the "most . efficient way is for the states to co-operate with 'the general government in the apiointment 'of salaried entomologists, and of a United 'States commission of 'entomologists, who 'should, perhaps, combine the results 'of the state officials and issue 'weekly bulletins, perhaps in combination 'with the reports of the weather signal bu'reau, as to the conditions of the insect 'world, forewarning - farmers and gardeners 'from week to week as to what enemies 'should be guarded against, and what preventive and remedial measures should be 'adopted." Evidently the matter is assuming an importance that will at no distant day cobimand the attention of the government, and that provision will be made to save the products of the soil from the ravages of their insect enemies.

Trumbull and Matt Carpenter will conduct the Louisiana case for the democracy, so that the filthy streams poured forth by the radical press during the last week on Mr. O'Conor and his associates will now be turned on Messrs. Carpenter and Trumbull. Matt Carpenter knows all about the Louisiana returning boards. He can tell the commission how they manufacture affidavits in New Orleans. At the preceding election he caught "one little rascal," as he called him, making 1,500, and one of the board complimented him by calling him "a hell of a fellow," and getting him to make 400 or 500 more by the next day. He told him he would. Every time Lew Wallace leaves home and returns the Journal pronounces a panegyric on his eminen services to the radical party in Louisiana. Monday's edition contained the regular installment We have one infallible standard by which to judge the record of Lew Wallace and all the other radicals that entered into and indorsed the Florida infamy. General Barlow, a radical and in the Hayes interest sent to Florida by the radical, was preen during the count, and he pronounced it a fief idl, This is not the testimony of a democrat, lui of ä pronounced radical. Let Lew Wallace and the Journal put that in their pipe and smoke it Old Zach's bank account shows a ten thousand dollar draft flitting westward ho! payable to the order of Rutherford B. Hayes, and he in turn indorsed it to the republican state committee of Ohio. What a "hella'baloo" the radicals would raise if such a matter was shown upon Mr. Tilden. Jay Gould gave $25,000. If Hayes is counted in, he will make it back four or five times over. Mr. Hoar also gave over $25,000. He is on the electoral commission, and won't lose sight of that money you may be sure, as he votes for the Hayes interest. Gould would have made another good commissioner. Another clerk of the Louisiana returning board has just testified that some of the affi davits were made by the clerks in the compiling room. This was weeks after the election, and he further stated that "moat any lnmt was signed to the affidavits" and that the order given to the clerks was to make the votes for the electors even viz.: if the first one had 50G votes and the third one 210, the order was to "even them up." And this was the way that Hayes carried Louisiana, and the electoral commission selected for the very purpose to hunt up fraud decides not to go behind the returns. Gammon. What a bonanza Justice. Bradley is to the radical press. How they do eulogize him. How extravagnnt is their praise. Some sharp jeweler could make an untold fortune now by getting Bradley up in miniature on watch-charms, sleeve buttons and cameos. Think of our next congressman from this district going to Washington with a big stone cameo of Bradley, full length size, reposing on that noble bosom, as they say about lions "cottehant" as to position, or if they do after all "count" Tilden in, then "rampant," head and tail up. Contrary to the general expectation there were three certificates of electors from Louisiana, the idiotic burlesque forming the third being given by Mr. Ferry the same dignity as the two contesting certificates. The acting vice president is probably under the conviction that the bogus certificate of the Smith family is entitled to as much serious consideration as that which purports to give Louisiana to Hayes. How the radicals are "worked up" about the confinement of old Wells. It was perfectly legitimate and praiseworthy to swindle Mr. Tilden out of ten thousand votes, these radicals think, on the part of the old reprobate, and now when he is endeavoring to hide awar the papers and returns used by him and the returning board, every radical paper is coming to his defense. The Hayes craft has got over the Florida reef in F. with much bumping, has escaped the Chaffee snag in I., and is moving down the alphabet with constantly accelerating speed to certain destruction in the rapids of L. " Earl Unwell will head the movement in the English house of lords to bulldoze Turkey.

INSANITY AXI CItinC Those who stop to consider the march of events since the time when Christ was born in Bethlehem of Judea, will discover along the track of centuries no grander monuments of Christian'civilization than buildings dedicated to the care of thi unfortunate and the amelioration of their condition. Asylums for the insane, the blind, the deaf and dumb, and the poor, are among the crowning glories of the age in which we live, and when cynics creak, it is only necessary to point to these achievements to demonstrate that the world is steadily rising to more elevated planes of thought and purpose. We are aware that it is quite common to go back a century or two for points of observation, and ask attention to the triumphs of architecture as displayed in churches and cathedrals of medieval style and grandeur, and from such data conclude that in some regards, at least, little if any progress has been made. We would not underrate the triumphs of Grecian or Roman art, or the the religious fervor that exhausted its resources in building temples to the Most High, but we hold that the humblest aylum,where reason is restored to the insane, where the the mind of the blind is taught to act in the darkness, and fingers are taught to read the thoughts of scholars; where the dumb are brought into intelligent communion with the busy world around them, or where the poor find a resting place and shelter from the storm, are achievements of far greater significance, and teach lessons infinitely more valuable. It is not surprising, however, that the vicious are disposed to take advantage of benevolence, or that the gentler methods of dealing with crime which distinguishes every advanced step of civilization is laid hold of for the purpose of rescuing criminals from the clutches of the law, or to modify the penalties which their crimes demand. In this regard nothing is more common than the attempt to shield murderers by the plea of insanity. So common, indeed, has this "dodge" become that the punishment which the awful cmne justly merits is so frequently avoided that society is becoming justly alarmed, for with every acquittal upon the plea of insanity, life becomes more insecure. The law in its beneficence reflects the advanced civilization of the period. To yisit upon the crime of murder the full vegeance of the law when the murderer is even suspected of being of unsound mind, is repugnant to all sense of justice, and hence the frequency of the plea in the interest of the criminal; and hence, also the fact that the culprit too frequently goes free. Under such circumstances it is not surprising that public attention is called to a subject which b enlisting the abilities of the best thinkers of the country. The legal and the medical professions are endeavoring to discover methods which shall enable courts and juries to arrive at conoid sions that will protect society, while no injustice shall be visited Upon persons entitled to commiseration instead of punishment. In New York there is what is termed a " Medico-Legal Societi" before which questions are discussed likely to occur in the determination of cases in winch medical knowledge may be required to aid the law in determining the measure of responsibility and the character of penalties. At a late meeting Dr. Alfred L. Caaroll read a paper upon insanity as affecting the responsibilities of criminals. The doctor treated the subject at considerable length, but we have room only for an extract or two. The impossibility of framing a comprehensive definition of the term "insanity" was stated, after which the doctor discussed ''the aspect of insanity 'most interesting to the puMic," and which, according to his view, relates to criminal ac

tions, especially to homicide, He said: ft has latterly become the fashion with Counsel for the defense to Impress upon Jurymen of the period that killing Is u-ita facie evidence of mental unsound uess,aud to retain medical experts tv special pleaders, not to give an impartial scientific opinion, but to concoct the most ingenious case for the defendant. It Ls beyond question, however, that there are numerous phase of Insanity clearly distinguishable by a professional observer, but not easily to bo perceived by an unpractised eye, and the dispute between law and medicine over these ubucure forms of mental disease arises from the fact that the legal notion of insanity remains unaltered from a past age, when nothing hut total dethronement of reason was recoKUlie as lunacy, while modern medicine has learned to detect early stages and less marked varieties. But even supposing forensic doubts of diagnosis were set at rest, the question would remain whether all these less defined cases of lunacy ought to he excluded from the operation of criminal law; and this question will be unhesitatingly answered in the negative by a few. at all events, of the ablest alienists, who, when they certify to a patient's Insanity, do not necessarily mean to imply that he is unaccountable for any or all of his actions. In other words, there is a distinction tu lw drawn between insuue criminals and criminal lunatics; and it is quite possible that a person whose insanity would absolve him from responsibility In one direction may commit crime from a aanely criminal motive if such a paradoxical expression le permissible. In any given case the first question to be considered Is whether the criminal act was the direct outcome ol the actor's insanity; the second, whether, if to, the person was incapable of resisting the insane prompting. Kven Maudsley himself is forced to admit some niensure of responsiblliiy in some cases. And he further says: "There can be no doubt that the Insane inmates of asylums an to some ex tent deterred from doing wrong by the fear of wuat they ruignt suner." The argument of Dr. Carroll very clealy shows that he is not in sympathy with the doctrine of total irresponsibility of all cases of mental unsoundness. The question of 'moral insanity." so named forty years ago by Prichard, and which has been the "jury'man's puzzle," was" discussed, and it was denied that the absence of the moral sense proves or constitutes insanity any more than its presence proves sanity. In concluding his lecture, Dr. Carroll said: Even where murder is apparently motiveless, we should Insist that the murderer 1m sogreuated from the community for life, since all authorities sgree that homicidal mania, from whatever cause arising, Is very apt to recur. The wisest plan a, "to refer all testimony Concerning mentul unsoundness to a rxsrmunent-ly-ontauize1 ciimiuiwiun In lunacy, In whose report an intelligent decision might be- reach- . AnewsU-p in the right direction was made by the New York act of 1874, directing that thu p;ea of Insanity be received only at the time of arraignment, and empowering the court to appoint a commission ox Inquiry ; but much still remains toba done to orlnir law and medicine into eoultiihln iiurmon v Mean. J while, Jurymen and Jurists wui do weU to bear

In mind that Insanity, if genuine, is shown in other ways than by a single act; lhat hypothetical questions are useless, each case requiring thorough examination on Its own Individual merits, and that a.person whom no physician would hesitate to'pronounce Insane may nevertheless commit crime with a reasoning, culpable purpose." It will be well for communities not to allow their sympathy for the really unfortunate to x carry them beyond the bounds of prudence, or to an extent that shall enable the vicious to esaape just penalties. The noble benevolence of the age should not be dragged down from its exalted purpose and made, by legal technicalities, to shield crime or expose society to the bloody proclivities of assassins under the plea of insanity.
