The seventeen-year locusts are arriving in some parts of the country. As yet they have not reached this section of man's habitation. The last appearance of the locusts was in 1877. In the eastern states the results are appearing very rapidly. When the eggs hatch in the ground the insect develops slowly until he gets strength to bore a hole up to the surface. Escaping through this he crawls up to the nearest plant of tree and fasteus himself into the bark and commences to wiggle. His skin splits up the back and his head escapes. The legs are too soft to be used for a few minutes, but when they dry the insect fastens them to the bark and pulls himself up. In about twenty minutes they have spread out to an inch aud a half iu length. After this the eating commences. They eat everything that grows. The number of these pests vary at different times and wild tales of them settling down ou railroad tracks in such numbers that locomotive wheels are clogged. One o( the worst features of locust years is the chance it gives the oldest inhabitant to tell what the insect did way back in '43.

The temperature and rainfall were above normal. The weather during the past week was an uuusually favorable one for crops of all kinds, especially pastures, oats and corn. Showeis were quite general throughout the state on the 17th, 2Jst, 22d. and 24th, which in combination with WArin weather, had a most beneficent effect. Severe wind, rain and hailstorms damaged crops in several localities, lodging standing grain aud destroying ’garden truck. ? Wheat harvest progressing rapidly in nearly ail portions of the state; iu most sections the yield is reported to be above the average iu quantity and the grain of excellent quality. It was lodged and tangled in some parts on account of wind and heavy raius. Corn has made rapid growth, has good color and promises a large yield. Will be a certainty if like weather coutinnes. Cultivation progressing satisfactorily. Clover cutting nearly completed and in many localities clover put aw.av- Pastures good, but in some localities short. Timothy short, but of good quality. Oats in fair condition and promises to be an unusually large and good one. Stock doing very well. Tobacco transplanting about completed. The crops iu general are reported to be in much better condition than for a number of years. The high winds duriug the past week done considerable damage to Dronertv in Southern Indiana.

Betrayers of pemocratlo Principles. The fundamental principles of Demoo* racy are as sound today as they were when Thomas Jefferson enunciated them more than 100 years ago. ' ‘Equal rights for all, special privileges for none,” will forever be the goal of popular gov* emment. It is the essence of liberty and justice. A few traitors, masquerading as Democrats, may succeed temporarily in defeating real Democratic legislation, but they will soon be swept out of power by the tide of popular indignation, and better men will fill their places. The study of the social and economic scienoes is more general than ever before, and knowing their rights the people will insist on being free. Real Democrats Bhould not be disheartened. They should set to work to rid their party of all who can be tempted to vote special favors to great trusts or protected interests. Millionaires are too numerous in the senate, and all-of them are interested directly or indirectly in protected interests. But some of the worst men there are those who want to become millionaires and are willing to sell themselves and their party to beoome millionaires. Rid the party of all such men. * • Besmirched With Sugar. To effect the sugar deal senators who realize on iron had the duty increased, coal owners secured the same favor, and with them were manufacturing senators, who profited in exchange for their loyalty to the sugar barons. Sugar appears to have been at the bottom of the entire trouble, corruption, treachery to the country, party treason, all the iniquities that have developed in the highest legislative body of the land. If sugar be king, it apparently belongs to the same royal family as his satanio majesty, and those statesmen who are found besmeared with it will find that they have attracted more flies than the people will tolerate on a national legislator.—Detroit Free Press. Scandal, Corruption and Protection. Scandal and corruption have been the constant fruits of protection. When the government undertook to constitute itself a partner in business of oertain favored industries, it invited the money power to come in and take a hand in the administration of affairs. Under federal patronage the greed of ill got gain has become insolent and reckless. It has debauched the franchise and debased legislation. It has exalted the trust and fostered the lobby. It has dulled the publio conscience and been fatal to a nice sense of propriety in official station. It has brought business into politics and set up the standard of the dollar to dominate publio acts.—Louisville Courier-Journal.

WONDERFUL ECONOMIC WISDOM. Rone Thtek«n (?) Claim That Cheap**** 1* the Cana* of Present Distress. The New York Son of March 35 had a three column 'editorial on “the relation of machinery to commercial and industrial depression. ” The burden of this editorial was that production has increased beyond the powers of consumption, and that industrial depressions are the result of multiplied production. It is during these times that production halts to give consumption an opportunity to catch up The impression left by this startling editorial may be inferred from a letter in The Sun of March 88 signed G. F. M. The writer thinhB the title of the editorial might have been “Machinery Versus Humanity.*' Hu says: “I hope this article will lead to a wide discussion of tho subject by those competent, as I am not, to deal with it as it deserves. It seems evident that a machine which enables one man to do the work of 500, and which neither eats, drinks nor wears clothes, cannot always be regarded as an unmixed blessing, exoept perhaps to the inventor. I believe lam correct in saying that the comparative freedom from industrial depression enjoyed by France is largely due to the fact that she has been slow to supplant hand labor with machinery. ” Overproduction, then, is the bane of human existence It is caused by the too general use of Yankee machines. These infernal machines are being perfected to such an extent that they can almost produce without any assistance from man. They are devices for depriving man of his God given right to earn his bread by the sweat of his brow and of his wages with which he could buy secondhand bread. Thus they throw labor out of employment and leave it to starve and perish in the midst of the superabundance which they temptingly place all about it during the worst periods of depression. It is difficult to conoeive of a more horrible fate for labor. Labor saving machinery, then, is surely a curse to ml who have to work for a living. This is the decision of modern economic science. This conclusion is in line with tire teachings of McKinley, Harrison and other leading Republicans, who abhor cheap coats and deolare that cheapness is un-American. The question now is shall we continue to grant patents to inventors of labor saving machines and thus put a premium upon cheapness, or shall we destroy all of our machines, ships, railroads and all other devices for saving labor and inducing cheapness and industrial depressions and prohibit the invention of other similar devices? This is the great question of the age. We should not hesitate to face it. Either Editor Dana and McKinley and Hamson are right, and machinery and cheapness are unmitigated curses, or there is some flaw in their logic, and machinery and cheapness possibly are not such terrible things, after alL We will leave the question open to the reader.—B. W. H.

A Tim Trade Town. Tell City, in Perry county, IncL, a Swiss settlement, was formerly strongly Republican, and although devoted to manufactures the inhabitants have changed their opinions in regard to the blessings of a protective tariff. The city has 30 different manufacturing establishments, which pay from $650,000 to $700,000 yearly in wages and are in full operation, so that there are no unemployed workers among the inhabitants. A circular letter was some time ago addressed from Washington to the manufacturers, workingmen and merchants of Tell City, inquiring in regard to their views on the tariff question. In making answer all three classes unanimously declared that they favored a reduction of the tariff, and that they earnestly desired the immediate passage of the Wilson bill as it left the house. Tariff beneficiaries incessantly appeal to the fears of workingmen concerning a reduction of wages to the pauper standard of Europe should the Wilson bill be passed. The workingmen of Tell City, Inch, have small respect for this plea. They say in their circular reply that “experience has shown that protective duties do not raise wages or even maintain them, so that an alleviation of our burdens can result only from a reduction of the prices of all necessaries, and therefore we favor a pure tariff for revenue. ” It may be added that none of the workingmen of Tell City will be found among “General” Coxey’s army of cranks or in the Tariff league crusade that is preparing to march upon Washington to overawe congress with a display of physical force. —Philadelphia Record.

iarin rouon in vox uioou. Trusts are cancerous growths on the body politic. They are nourished mainly by the tariff poison in the blood. Antitrust laws have never done more than to drive these cancers from one part to another of the body. Even if puB^put root and branch others would appear. Aa long as there is tariff in the blood there will be sores on the body politic. It will require stronger spring medicine than that prescribed by Congressman Wilson to purify our national blood. The homeopathic treatment recommended by the “conservatives” of the senate would have no perceptible effect upon the hundreds of big and little sores that make us miserable. We must purge our system of all that trusts can feed upon before we can expect industrial peace. Began Without Protection. But without any protection and in spite of British regulations intended to prevent the growth of manufactures in the colonies one industry after another took root as population increased until at the time of the first tariff act in 1789, all the more important manufactures, including those of iron and textiles, had become firmly established. As up to this time they had grown without any tariff, so must they hqv© continued to grow with the increase of population, even if we had never had a tariff.—Henry George. .
