we publish the call of
the Bepublican State Central Com
mittee for a delegate Convention to
place hi nomination the etandard-
> eareiBof that-party for the impen
ding campaign. _ _ ( _
The Convention yriiT consist of
two hundred and ifty-nine dele
gates , and consequently will bo the
largest representative gathering ev
er convened in this State. -
The apportionment of delegates
will , as a whole , be found equitable
and satisfactory. At all events the
Republicans residing -west of the 6th
principal meridian have no reason
to complain. Their claims for equi
table representation have been fully
recognized andr liberally conceded.
VEaking the census 'of74 as a
basis , the committee has , with un
exampled magnanlmitygrantedone
additional delegate to every county
Vest of the sixth' principal meridian.
At the first glance this feature may ?
strike the Republicans of Eastern
and Central Nebraska unfaV6rably ,
but they shquld bear "in mind that
the proportion of the Republi
cans to the whole population
Is Tnuch greater hi Jhe western
counties , whichshould justly entitle
them to more representation in the
convention. Although a majority
of , the committee favored an early
conventional was , thought advisable
to allow a liberal margin between
the promulgation of the call and *
the day of holding the convention *
for the purpose of affording the
thetpe&ple Jn > , the' frontier counties
fair opportunity to hold th'eir pri
maries and county conventions.
"Begin ning withSeptember second ,
the campaign will cover a period of
six weeks , which if , vigorously con
tested will enable all the people of
tfieBtate to familiarize themselves
with the issues" and .become ac
quainted with the candidates. The
committee has very properly recom-
juended the election of alternates
And the abolition of proxies. '
The traffic in proxies has in the
past furnished the principal stop ] : in
trade for corrupt politicians who
thus were enabled to sell their con
stituencies to the highest bidder.
The time has come when such bane
ful practices must be discounte
nanced and discontinued. Our
readers will observe that the Coiri-
mittee designate Among the offices
for which candidates are to be nom
inated ; thatof § pontingentCon
gressman.
This is evidently concession to
some contingent candidates for im
aginary honors , and since such a
candidate con do no possible harm ,
the people can have no valid objec
tion to such an empty-handed com
pliment. . Now that the call for the
convention is issued , -itis to be hoped
that the discussion about candidates
will begin In earnest Republicans
everywhere should speak their
minds boldly and without reserve.
The candidates in the coming
campaign must be men -who have
an unstained record j men whose
private and public lives are beyond
even the hatjow of suspicion or re
proach. They must be live , ener
getic , and up with living issues of
-the day. The character and quality
of these candidates will , in a great
.measure , ' be determined bythe.
character of the delegates that
make up the Convention.
For this reason , Republicans , it is
desirable that the greatest care be
exercised in the selection of dele
gates. , Let- Republicans every'
whcrp spb torit that corrupt Vire-
pullers aud political bummers be
elected to stay at home. Let them
send , their .very best men , and they -
.can rest assured that the coming
Sttte convention will give us can
didates whom the people will en
dorse.

THE GRASSHOPPERS ,
Extent of their Operation !
Southwestern Nebraska ,
Suggeitioni for their
Extermination.
( Correspondence of the BEZ. )
YORK , Neb. , July 2774.
EDITOR BEE :
A week ago the vanguard of the
grasshoppers madetheir approach.
They-"have swept3own."Hlirougii
Folk , Hamilton and York counties ,
and are now sweeping through Fill-
more. The devastation la fearful , ,
field after field of corn goes down ,
befpre them ; young orchards and-
forest trees' "are stripped
leaves. The county has a desolate ,
look. The cost of sustaining these ,
immense armies of destroyers is
fearful. In York the wheat harvest
is wonderful ; men are driven to'
the utmost . . .limit"of endurance ; .
many machines are run all nig'at ,
and there can be no suffering in the
midst of this abundance for this
year , but a great gloom has fallen
on the people. The farmers have
planted trees by the millions. Mr.
D R Crugan , a few- miles north of
Us , has almost' lost" .blspbeautlful
nursery , and those who purchased
last spring are in mourning over
the loss of their young orchard , and'
what is worse , the ground is com
pletely perforated with holes where'
they have deposited their eggs , and
Vfffear that the , 'finest portion of
Nebraska must lie in desolation
another year , 'the outlook , to say
the least , is depressing.
It is high time that the United
States government took this matter
into their uwn hands , and put a stop
to .this fearfuLhavoc. ,
i
THE REMEDY.
The .general government ought to
superintend the work of destruction ,
for , however successful a state or
territory might be , they would be
'subject to invasion from , another
state. We needa wide-awake'Uni-
ted States entomologist who will ,
with able assistants , give his time
to the study of the habits of these'
fearful pests. The signal service'
should also give their attention to
the movements of birds of the ah .
They can be ( Jpstroypt } , Qr > .3Q
diminished in number that they
"
will be fab longer "dreaded. One
efficient means should be the prairie ,
fires. Usually the area of cultivated
land in an infested district will only
be about one-tenth. I have been'
on the frontier a good portion of my
time since ' 57 , and have watched
them closely. Generally ' when
they light in the fall , people opt of
rage , will set the prairies oa fire to
burn up the old ones , whch would
soon die at-all eventa. The trouble
is } n tlje spring , wnen all the eggs
are well natcued out on a set day
the * whole country should be burned
over and millions would thereby be
destroyed ; of course some will re
main on the plowed ground , but
constant cultivation , and the spring
storms will-so diminish their num
ber that there woule be but few left.
Tfiia will be 'the chief agency to be
used , if the ground Is very full of
eggs .then no wheat ought to be
sowed , but the land should be kept
bare'putting the ground into com
afterward. Sowing nothing for a
time will drive all the pests Into the
grass where the fire will destroy
them.
Jow. the United States ougftt to.
appoint such'an entomologist , , and
empower him to lay martial law ,
if need be , .on the Infected district ,
compelling the people to.take means
best adopted for their own preserva
tion.
Immense clouds of these destroy
ers often settle down on our vasty
unbroken prairies , and there deposit
their eggs ; these , though they do no
damage Jn the snrjng will often 4 ° -
stroy crops hundred of miles away.
If the signal service could tell where
the great droves , are hithe fall , and
reserve the grass for their destrus-
tlonin the spring , , it would im
mensely aid the work.
This matter may be a question of
life and .death to our .great West
These Jlttle robbers already have a
-taste for the rlch'estand-jiiolestfood ;
they turn from weeds with'utter-
contempt for corn and gralnand the
mellou fields make fine places for
them to deposit their .eggs , and
unless something is done speedily
it n.ay be a hard matter to hold ! our
ground here. TEeirravages'already
amount to millions every yeVj but
a few thousand would deplete them
to such an 'extent that they would
xjease to. be.a terror. Before , me as
I write are three lots 'fenced in ,
"filled witjj numerous yarietfea of
trees and shrubs , which have been
sent to me by friends among the
Eastern 'BortloiiUuritts : to test hi
Nebraska , and my garden of trees
had become the pride of our Uttle
town. 'But the statejst ) 'tree is
stripped bare of leaves , and the rest
are suffering the same fate , and
while I confess'to .the fear | I ask
myself if I pitty the thourands of
others who are disappointed in their
efforts to make home beautiful.
But from years of observation and
study , I know that they need not ,
be and , so wo must besiege our able.
Senator who has Inaugurated such :
grand thiritot tor the great west ; andr
he must take up a new burden also .
for the State he has served so well. .
In the meantime , we will work. on
in hope. The grasshopper InNe- . .
