our discount of 10 to 20 per cent, tells
the tale as vividly as is possible.
What is the matter ? It is not that
the tax-payers of Chicago and Cook
county are any more able or willing to
pay their taxes than are the property
holders of Nebraska. It is not that
the debts of the Nebraska counties are
heavier in proportion to the assessed
value of property than the debts of
Chicago and Cook county.
A few extracts from letters lately
received by a banker of this city will
perhaps give all needed explanation:
Lowell, Mass., June 29, 1875.
Dear Sm : in repyt
1 am sorry to say that my experience
with bonds in your State is such that
I dare not recommend nor offer them
for sale. Your bank holds now for
collection from this bank coupons of
.Lancaster county bonds that were due
January 1st last and are still unpaid,
and we have for collection in the hands
of bankers in another county of your
State coupons from school bonds in
large numbers, due at same time and
yet unpaid. Such delinquency it rare,
if not altogetlter unknown, among
municipalities of this section. As a
result, tho six per cent, bonds of our
own and neighboring cities are in de
mand at a premium, while the higher
rate bonds of the West, like those you
offer, arc unsaleable here at any price;
and if the present and recent policy, of
retaining intorest due in January and
May until December, of your section
tion of tho country, is continued, your
bonds will have to be sold where they
are issued if sold at alL
Your registration is a step in the right
direction. Now follow it up by insist
ing upon promptness upon the part of
your collecting and disbursing officers,
and you will see the good effects follow.
' Clinton, Canada, June 30, 1875.
Dear Sir:
The lade of promptness in paying
the interest has damaged the reputa
tion of these securities here so far that
they wonld not be even looked at."
Auqusta, Mr,, Jane 28, 1875.
Dear Sir: "There
is no sale of Nebraska bonds here at
any price on account of the general
default of payment of interest coupons
oo her school and other bonds. . So
long as this default continues, we do
not invest in any of her securities as
there is no call for them."
Now we ask the gentlemen known
as "County Commissioners" in this
Stato, what kind of a defeane can they
make to this indictment for neglect or
non-performance of their plain duty,
and this persistent disobedience of the
law ? Upon their heads rests the grave
responsibility of ruining the credit of
the State, and consequently of piling
up uselessly a vast aggregate of taxes
upon our property holders for the pay
ment of discount and interest upon in
terest. It is their duty to levy taxes
sufficient to secure beyond peradven
ture the payment of every cent of in
terest on every dollar of bonded in
debtedness on the very day it faUs due
not a year after. Every time the
County Commissioners fail to see the
interest paid on the very day it is due,
they not only fail in their obligations
to the people as sworn officers, but
they fatally stab what is worth more
than all the bonds outstanding, in dol
lars and cents, to the people of this
Stato, the credit of the coanty and the
State.
There is no palliation or shadow of
excesefbt the commissioners of the
counties in Nebraska that have made
this default in the redeption of the
coupons of their bonds on tbe day spe
cified. They have neglected to make
provision for such payment, and in do
ing so havev violated the letter and
spirit of the law, besides assassinating
the good name and financial c.-edit of
their eountyv whose interests they
were elected to defend and preserve.
Is it nottimo tb-it the people of this
State put a sudden stop to-this suicid
al policy?
Pay the- interest ear your bonds
whcn.it is-dne, and? yonr bonds will
buy yon $1.04 to $1.10 woith of court
house, bridges, railroad or what net.

Last year we were damaged considera
ble here by grasshoppers, and in some
parts of tbe State they have cleaned
out crops to a great extent this year ;
still we know nothing about them
when compared with other countries.
We publish here an extract from a
book called the Weecly Register, pub
lished in 1812:
"THE LOCUSTS OF AFRICA.
Locustsare produced from some un
known, physical caoe. and proceed
from the desert, always coding
from the south. Wheu they visit s
country it behoves ever individual to
lay in a prevision against a famine ;
for they are said to stay three, five or
seven years. During my residence in
West and South Barbery, those coun
tries suffered a visitation from tnem
during seven years. They have a
government among themselvs, similar
to the bees and ants : and the sultan
Jerraad, king of the locusts, rises, the
whole body follow him, not one single
straggler being left behind to witness
the devastation. When they have
eaten all other vegetation they attack
the trees, consuming first tbe 1 a v. ,
and then the bark, so that the coun
try, in midst of summer, from their
unsparing rapacity, bears tbe face of
winter. In my travels I have seen
them so thick on the ground, as to
sometimes actually havo covered my
horse's feet as he went along. It U
very anoyingto travel through a lust
of them, as they are continually flying
in your face, and settling on your
hands and clothes. At a distano,
they appear, in the air, like an im
mence cloud , darkening the sun ; and
whilst employed in devouring the
products of the land, it has been ob
served that they uniformily proceed
one way, as regularly as a .disciplined
army on its march; nor will it be pos
sible to discover a single one going a
different way fros tho rest. In trav
elling from Mogodor to Tangier, be
fore tbe p.lague in I799uthe country
was covcied with them. A singular
incident occurred at El Araiehe; the
whole country from the confines of
Sahara to that place was ravaged by
them, but after crossin g the river El
Kos, they were not to be seen, though
there was nothing to prevent them
from flying across it. Moreover, they
were all'uioving that way, that is to
the north; but when they reached tbe
banks of tbe river, they proceeded
eastward, so that the gardens and
fields north of El Araiehe were full of
vegetables, fruits and grain. The
Arabs ot the province ot mu iiaro con
sidered this remarkable circumstane,
as anevident interposition of Provi
dence.! This curse of heaven can only be
conceived by those who have seen the
dismal effects of their devastation.
The poor people by living on them
become meager and indolent, for no
labor will yield fruit, whilst the locusts
continue increasing in numbers. In
the rainy season they p ru'ally disap
pear, aad at the opening of the spring
the ground is coverd with their young.
Those crops of corn which are first
mature, and tbe grain which becomes
hardened before the locust attains its
full growth, are likely to escape pro
vided there are other crops less for
ward for them to feed upon.
In the year 1799, these destructive
insects were carried away into the
Western Ocean by a violent hurricane
and the shores were afterwards cov
ered by their dead bodies, which, in
m&ny places emitted a pestilential
smell ; that is, wherever, the land was
low, or where the salt water had not
washed them. To this event succeed
ed a most abundant crop of corn, the
bade that had lain fallow for years,
being-now cultivated; bat' the pro
duos of the cultivation was accoapa
ifd with a most infections and dead y
plague, a calamity of which the lo
custs have oftjn been observed to ba
the forerunners.
