The last number of the Temper
ance News , ( August 1st. , ) contains
a call from the Central Committee ,
of the total Prohibition Party , lor a
State Convention , to be held at Lin
coln , on Wednesday , August 19th ,
for the purpose of putting in nomi-
-uation a full Congressional and
State' ticket. The Committee ap
peal to the friends of Prohibition ,
anti-monopoly , and anti-class legis
lation. Those in favor of a radical
change in the manner of electing
President , Vice President , and
Senators ; and all voters who can
heartily endorse the platform of the
National Prohibition Party , are in
vited to participate in this new de
parture. "
The friends of this movement are
assured that the slate is blank , and
the Convention will be free from all
former party ties. The call con eludes
with the admonition : "Gentlemen
do your duty , or forever hold your
peace. "
Now , while the BEE has no faith
in temperance reform through strin
gent sumptuary laws or prohibitory
legislation , it will nevertheless
cheerfully accord to the leaders in
this movement a high degree of
moral courage. It seems to us , how
ever , that they are altogether pre
mature in their attempt to bring
their peculiar doctrines to a square
Issue before the people.
' The State of Nebraska is just now
on the eve of changing her funda
mental law. The Legislature of
1875 will , beyond a reasonable
doubt , call a constitutional conven
tion to amend and re vise our present
constitution. $ ven if the Prohibitionists -
bitionists were positively assured
that they can elect their ticket in
October ( and wo consider this an
utter impossibility ) they would
have to renew the struggle for su
premacy In the constitutional con
vention ,
That convention is the proper tri
bunal to discuss this question , and
through them the issue can be
squarely put beford the people when
the new constitution shall be voted
on. They can then submit the
question of prohibition , local option
and license as separate articles , and
let the people pronounce at the bal-
} Q { box which oftheso propositions
meets thejr approval.
When the people in their soverign
capacity have adopted a fixed policy
It will become the duty of the law
makers to shape their legislation ac
cordingly. After this policy has
been fairly tested by experience the
ppopjp may , if thev deem it best ,
amend their constitution to suit
the exigencies. In view of
the feet that a constitution
al convention to reconstruct
our organic Jaw wjlj be in session
within sixty days after their ad
journment , the Legislature of 1875
will hardly attempt to transact any
business except what is absolutely
necessary. After electing a successor
ser to Senator Tipton , agreeing U ] >
on a constitutional convention bjl } ,
and passing the appropriation bills ,
they will find it inexpedient to at
tempt experimental legislation in
any direction.
It is , therefore , apparent that the
intrusion of the prohibition question
into the issues of the pending cam
paign could serve no good purpose.
If the Prohibitionists expect to ac
complish anything by organizing a
new political party they are , of
course , at liberty to proceed. With
out entering into a discussion of the
merits of their cause , we can safely
predict that their anticipations will
not be realized.
HARTFORD has just made the
startling discovery that there are
more rogues than honest men in
their community. The Hartford
street railway company had , with
commendable care , provided their
cars with patent "fare boxes" as a
check against dishonest Ingenuity.
The facts just come to liijht prove ,
however , that honesty is the only
sure preventltive. The fare is seven
cents. A large number of passeng
ers have been in the habit of com
muting with the drivers for five
cents , instead of putting their fares
in the box , the dishonest passen
ger thus .Caving two rents , and the
company getting nothing. The trick
was overdone , and the company ,
finding their receipts dwind
ling to nothing , investiga
ted the matter and ar
rested all the 'car-drivers at a haz
ard. Most of them confessed the
ofTensa , gave up what remained of
the plunder , and furnished lists of
the dishonest passengers. The Com
pany's lawyers hure a list of from
three hundred to five hundred per
sons , many of them men of good so
cial and business standing , who
will be called on to "square up"
with the Company or be subjected to
prosecution.
WITH the arrival in our mklst of
Mr. Thomas J. Whitman , an ex
perienced water-works engineer of
3t. Louis , the water-works question
receives a frash impetus. The BEI :
lias , as is well known , been an un-
2ornproMng advocate of public im
provements in Omaha. The BEH
sv-s the only Omaha paper that
jave an unqualified support to the
last water-works proposition whicl/ /
in > pitc of wet blankets from
Did fogies carried the city Ly a very ,
handsome majority. Since then a
change in public sentiment has
taken place in favor of waterworks.
[ f , after investigating the subject ,
Mr. "Whitman shall confirm former
estimates about the probable cost of
i reliable water work system , we
iave not the slightest doubt that
the people of Omaha will vote the
necessary bonds byjifi overwhelm
ing majority. .

LANCASTER Co. , Aug. 3 , ' 74.
EDITOR BEE :
Much uneasiness has been among
the people of Lancaster , Saline and
Seward counties , especially the far
mers , in the post thirty days. The
ground is now dryer than for years ,
and many are deprived of the neces
saries of life by the extreme dry
weather ; many wells are ubput dry ,
and waer for stock Js scarce on the
uplands.
The potatoe crop is comparatively
a failure , nearly all are worthless ,
except late plantings , and vegeta
bles are very scarce. The wheat and
oats , now being threshed , will not
yield as abundant as was anticipa
ted , the grains are smaller and dried
up.jowing to the fast ripenlnjr ,
Prospects for com were never bet-
tpr in the State than this season un
til the commencement of harvest ,
when it was caused to wilt from the
extreme heat of the sun , and now
only the early planting , with a few
exceptions , will be good. Latp corn
will not fill , find the stalks are so
small , and the most thrifty blades
on the stalks art' dead or burned.
With the embarrassments of dry
weather and short crops , the raven
ous
GRASSHOPPERS
nade their appearance , if possible ,
: o devastate the land. They mutfp
iheir first appearance Jn South Lin-
join on Saturday eye , July 25th , and
3y Sunday noon they were to be
seen all over the county. They
came down like sno\v flakes , and
continued to come until Monday.
At first they did not appear to
rouble vegetation , but looked for a
ocation where they might open out
n full force , they commenced their
destruptjoq on Monday , and were
lot long m laying waste thousands
jf acres of corn , as well as all kinds
> f vegetation. They remained in
full force until Friday .afternoon ,
w hen a strong wind from the north
ook a greater part of them south.
Tbey are yet to be seen in every di
rection , and on vegetation.
Early corn was severely injured
by them , and late corn will be an
entire failure in many places.
The green leaves , husks and silks
wore first stripped , and m many
places the stalk was eaten. They
djl n.at stop at fruits in young or
chards , but took the leaves and ten
der branches often. Turnips , rad
ii Khes and cabbage were a favorite
ilish ; after eating the tops they
would bore for the roots. Water
melons and cucumbers were totally
tlestroyed in many places , and all
kinds of vegetation was severely
damaged. Grasshoppers appeared
worse in the bottoms near streams
if waiter. Salt Creek was unusually
thronged , from its source to its
mouth , but as they feasted particu
larly on large weeds , principally
wild sunflower , the damage was note
, o fcevere to crops as on the uplands.
There will be a scarcity of all
iinds of grain except wheat , of
.vliich Nebraska will have more
ban ever before. Almost every
arnier will have enough for bread
md to spare , ADD.

About one hundred Indians , in-

lumber brought down from Wls-
onin last spring , and placed upon

irougbt their ponies and ail
lie paraphernalia they gen-
rally "tote" around with
hem when upon a march. Gener-
lly speaking they looked rough. A
urge majority of them were very
cantily attired , while some of the
hiidren were clad in less than a
mile. Some of them had a little
nonpy by them , while others
indn't a cent. They all appeared
cry anxious to get back
n Wisconsin , some of their number
iving . as an excuse for
'aviug the Nebraska Agency , that
t was too quiet over there ; that
unting was too poor and fishing
ot good. In that portion of Wis-
onsinhore they formerly were ,

treams which abound there. Others
lid that they didn't like the agency
- folks in NebrasKa , and they
nncluded to return to their old
aunts again , which it is but reason-

ke home to them , some of the In-

pen arriving here and making
iquiries that they had not suffl-
