TnE followhig passage taken from
the close of the Introduction to the
reports of the United States ento
mological commission , now going
through the press , will be read with
interest. The term "temporary re
gion" refers to the fertile couutry
beyond the Mississippi and eouth of
the 40th parallel , which is more
particularly subject to gra nopper
ravages ; and the confident and en-
com aging statements of the com
mission will relieve any anxiety as
to the future of that rich agricultu
ral region :
"We cannot well close this Intro
duction wtihcut some statement of
our views as to the locust prospects
for the immediate future , since our
opinions are constantly blng asked
for.
That the insect will , Jn the fu
ture , again pour down at times from
Its breeding grounds Into the tempo
rary reg'oa , unless by the co opera
tion of the two governments inter
ested , It is prevented from so doing
by the course we recommend , or by
some still more feasible course yet
to bo discovered , there can be no
reasonable doubt , yet in proportion
as the country becomes settled will
the locust Injury be more and more
caaDy controlled.
But we do not heslfate.to give It
as our deliberate opinion that tbero
will be no eerlous injury In snch
temporary region the coning fium-
mcr , and probably not for several
years to come.
We rsat this conclusion , firstly :
on our personal examinations tbe
past autumn over much of the coun
try named ; secondly , on the reporta
of correspondents In said country ;
and , thirdly : On reports from the
extreme northwest on permanent
region. These show that none of
the insects of any confluence that
hatched ia tbo temporary region ro-
xnnined to lay eggi ; that scarcely
any egga were laid by the scattering
autumn swarms , aud that with few
exception : , the permanent region
east of tbo mountains Is likewise re
markably free of eggs. "
WATER WORKS.
Mr. Roecwatcr :
DEAB SIB : What will It cost for
water works in thia city , eay fifteen
miles of pipe , ninety hydrants or
lire plugs ( blxty double and thirty
feingle ) and where will you get the
water , and how furui&b. it to the
city ? G.
The above reaches ua throu2h to
day's mail , and ns it relates to a
very Important aud live subject we
shall take occasion to dwell on euch
general facts concerning it as are
admirable In euch brief considera
tion. Tbo questions propounded are
rather out of the order of their Im
portance. It is tiret neccesary to
kuow the source and nature of sup
ply oefore dwelling upon the char
acter of the works. At the risk
of repeating what has already
been said on thia subject we
will state that the question of course ,
dependiug as it does upon a deiinllu
aud permanent supply , is doubt-
Imsy ! answrad by the selection
of one of three known perma
nent water courses the Missouri
river , the Papillion creek , or ILe
] Elkh > rn. The quality of the Mis
souri river water , when filtered , IB
unexcelled ; Its proximity and un-
llmiLiblc supply give it the leading
prominence ; tbe only objectionable
feature to the Missouri has been its
changeable channel. This difficul
ty is now liable to ba settled by con
fining the channel by rip rapping ,
cr some other method , and in that
event the BIhsauri river will doubt *
less ba ths souros for our water
supply.
The Papillion , though affording a
permanent aource of supply , con
tains poorer water , and though it
affords facilities for a cheap pumpIng -
Ing reservoir , It has no advanta
ges over tha Missouri river ou
account of height , aa it
I ? but from twenty to thirty fost
above love water of tha Miasr.uri
aud its distance from the city irocld
entail an expense of ei ht miles or
more of main pipes. Tao Elkhorn
river has a permanent limitless sup
ply of gowi clear water , its slavatfou
above the KIssouri river bolng 160
feat , the expense of pumping for the
general supply cf the baik or tba
city would be saved after tha pipe
was once laid. It would , however ,
require tunneling through the di
viding ridge this side , which is from
800 to 403 feet above the Missouri
nv r ; &ud which would entail con-
ederablo ! additional expense for
conduita across the streams this Pide
between the JEikbora aud Omaha.
This source of supply would
o.is : so ruiioh more than the
Missouri river plan that the interest
on tha oxccsa would in ten yeara ex
cc d the original cost of the latter
and its working operation ; hence ,
there can DO uo doubt that the Mte-
eouri river is both the cheapest and
beet source on which to base the
supply for water works of Omsha.
The cost of works on this buis will
vary more or less with die system
adopted. To the consideration of
this question we will devote our at
tention in another ieaue.

HON. ALViX SAUNDER'S
Speech I" the Un I ltd States Senate
On Hie feiivcr BUI.
MR. PKESIDEST : The financial
question is without doubt the most
important subject that will interest
Congress the present session. I do
not know that I shall bo able to add
materially to what baa already been
said on this subject of remonotizing
silver and restoring it to Its former
position as a legal tender. Never
theless I shall beg the indulgence of
the Senate while 1 present a few-
reasons why I shall oppose the
amendments pioposed by the differ
ent fcJenatora aud vote for the bill so
far as its provisions In regard to ro-
monetization are concerned juat as
it onme from the House.
If 1 for one moment could bo
made to ballevo that by supporting
tbo bill I was in any way aiding in
doing an act of irjaetlce to those to
whom our government i3 Indebted I
would at oncn abandon the idea of
giving even the pemblanca of eup-
port to the measure. But , sir , wheu
I legsslate simply to atid'to the cur
rency of the couutry an additional
amouut of the same kind of consti
tutional coin that the lr w provided
for when these debt3 were created , I
conceive that no wrong Is being
dans , but that on the con
trary , I would in thus leg-
l-tlaiiug ba increasing Cue means
wherewith to meet these obligations ,
thus making thulr payment the
more certain.
Tne amendment of the Senator
from Wisconsin [ air. Caiasron ] pro
pose to rnal-e the silver dollar con
sist of 429 sraina of &dver , nine-
tenths flnc ; and amendments of
other senators pro' jt > o changes of a
like character , but all fixing It at
higher flyurc-d. If I blieved , elr ,
that the rcsiouetuatton of silver of
the same weight and fineness poa-
sessc'l by it before . .be act of Uebru-1
are , 1873 , waa p ooud , wou'.d not
have the effect to reatoio the silver
dollar to Its old position side by side
with gold , I might ba Jisposoa to
vote for his , cr souioj'imiir.r amend
ment. But , sir , I do believe that
thu reatoraticn of the old dollar will
have tha : etlcct ; cue ! I further be
lieve that the man ; reason for the
great decllno In silver in the Euro
pean markets has grown out of the
fact that tbo United States have de
monetized silver , and out of t'je
other fact that th , United States
had baen produciug more silver
than in former years ; and that , on
tnis latter account , an alarm was
created upon the supposition that
the world would soon be flooded
with silver. And even now , sir ,
there is an idea prevalent in many
parla of Europe , that our silver pro
duction is largely In excess of the
real facts.
If any cue has f.ny doubts about
the demonetization not of 1873 hav
ing had- much to do with the de.
preclation of silver in the markets
of Europe , let him turn to the table
and figures showing the prices of
silver bullion in .London in pi lor
years und there see when the de
cline took place. It ia my opinion
that he will s t once concede the fact
that that set was the primary cause
of tiio decline. From the year 1850
up to and Including the ynar 1872
silver bullion wad isevcr lesj than
sir pence per ouuc in the .London
market , and the average price for
those twenty-two ye rs was a large
fraction over slxty-ono pence , which
made our silver dollar during the
whole of those twenty-two years a
large premium over gold the avar-
t c premium for the whole of that
time being over twt > per cent. But ,
sir , beginning with the year 1873 ,
the year In which the act .stopping
the further coinage of tbo legalteud-
er dollar was passed , diver declined
m the London market to ihe aver
age price that year of a little over
fifty-nine pence , and continued
gradually to decline , until in 1876 it
sold as low as 11 fly-three pence , aud
13 worth now , I believe , about fifty-
five pence. Aud now 1 ask if the
United States government can af
ford any longer to as3i = c In beariug
the market of her own productions ?
Sir , I thinK not.
Tno amendments nroposed by
several of the Senators to the effect
that the silver dollar chr.ll be made
a Ie al touder for small amounts
only I will most certainly oppose
with all the powers with which I
am possessed. I want no more de
preciated currency. In my opinion ,
sir , the greuteut mistake tlmt was
made In all the /iiiauci&l notq of
Congress was iu nut mnkiug the
paper ruoney ressivaole inr all debts
and putting it ou an equally with
gold. That very cc ? , wnlie J prob
ably sav cl ltd tens of millions to the
rovernment that it would have had
to pay to procure gold with hloh to
pay the luteredt on our national
debt , ccul me people hundreds of
millions by tha additional price that
was put upon all imwmert goods.
Lst iw lock at the operation ol
this system for a monieut. When
Imported goods were received In
2Ne\7 York tub duliosnad co be paid
'
in gold , tlio merchant kuowlnz'iliat
his eu tonicr3 from the country
would pay for the seeds Jn greeu-
daoke , which , ns in well known ,
were at a largo discount , amounting
on an avprago for the lost ten years
to more tnun 17 per cenl and in tha
last thirteen years on on avoraga to
over 25 per cent.
No-v all this additional oc3t was
put upon the > ; oods iefore telling to
tbp.iyauntry t ado ; ind v jen you
add to thia the percentage required
by the retailer , it can easily bs e.eii
that & very large irzrt of the cost of
all imported goods v > js paid by the
coneuiaer to meet the discount on
the paper currency. Then I beg of
the Kanate to give to ihe country no
more depreciated currency , as It
ccrtaihly will do if it limits the
amount for which the silver dollar
shr.ll be a legal tender , liat us not
commit luother mistake by creatlug
t ; third distinction of inequality in
the currency of the government ,
but mate the filvcr dollar In all re-
speeu a legal equivalent of gold.
Either make silver equal to gold , so
far aa the law can do It. or blot it
out of the Hat of coin a of the couu
try. What id right and proper for
the retail dealer thould be the same
for the wholesale doKlcr. Thtre
should be no ditfereuce made hi the
value of the money circulated by the
Government ; it Btiould bo so resu
lted as to affect all interests alike.
1 believe , sir , in a return to ppeclw
payaicntd nt as early n day as is
pmotlcabK Hn l I been in Con
gress when the bill was parsed , In
Feoruary , 1870 , Cxin : ? a day for a
return to opocie pa > rxiaufrtl would
not have voted for it , but now that
moct of the damage that auch a
law was calculated to do hsi already
been felt , and severely felt it was , I
am Inclined to the opinion that it
would be well to try and carry out
tne law , and to this end I want sil
ver rcraonetlzed and made a legal
tender for all sums and for all kinds
of debts ; and with tbid added to cur
stock of gold I shall feel e.nfa in the
undertaking. But if we have to
provide for all o'ir indebtedness in
geld I shall have such fears of fail
ure that 1 would , rather thr-u risk it ,
favor a repeal of that act. With kold
and silver , both beicg legal tenders ,
I shall have no fears ot tha govern
ment being ready --eAiDie by the
fixed day , January 1 , J879
The laws of the United States of
1S34 and 1837 , recognizing gold as
sixteen times the value of silver ,
put the relative value of gold above
that adopted by any other commer-
cial nation , none other HO far as I
am Informed making it higher than
15 } to 1 ; eo that I cannot see the ne
cessity of the amendments of Sena
tors to this bill giving a still greater
relative value of gold by increaa *
ing the iiember of grains
in the silver dollar. Again , this
increased difference would widen
the distance between the ratio of the
values of the two metals and that
recognized by the Latin union , and
thus make it more difficult for us
eyer to agree with the union upon
t n international standard.
It is my opiuiou , elr , if Congress
were now to reinstate silver to its
former legal tender position , that
no incouvenleuce whatever to trade
would bo experienced in consequence
quence of the quantity that would
bs put into circulation- Neither
gold nor silver would bo used to any
great extent as a circulation med
ium , and especially in the cities.
Paper money , so much more con
venient to handle , would bo the
klud of cutreucy uaedin making all
exchanges , and no nioro of either
silver or gold would ba used than
for the purposes ot convenience in
making email change. Most of the
coin would go into lha vaults of the
treasury and of tauk& for the re-
domptiou of the paper money when
demanded , and thus exchanges
would go on without Inconvenience
or less to anybody.
I have no confidence in the re.
marks 1 EO often hear made , that 10
per cent. cr8 _ par cent , ur any oilier
large psr ceutago would be lost by
depositors m savings banks , or by
anybody else , If silver be rsmoue-
tized. Why faould it ba so , Mr
Preaideat ? To-day the greenback
paper dollar is woith nicety-eight
cents in gold , while a silver dollar
in said to oe worth about uiuoty two
cents. Why tliia difference ? In
not diver , that has an intrinsic and
marketable value of ninety-two
ceuis without being coined , worth
as much ua ihe reg aud lamp blacken
on which the gieenbackfostamped ?
It is thh , Mr. President : Tue gov
ernment has endorsed the paper
dollar and has said it flmll be taken
for all kinds of debts , "except duties
on imports and intercut on the pub
lic debt , " while this same govern
ment has said by the act of Febru
ary , 1873 , that bilver shall not be ta
ken as a legal tender for more tnan
$5 In suy one payment ! Thla , sir ,
is the reason why pllver to-day ia
lower in the markets han green
backs.
My friend from Michigan [ Chris-
tianoyj admitted in his speech the
other day that silver would rise in
the market up to , us he thought , 95
cents. Why limit it to 95 cents ,
when , if remouetized , it would
answer all the purposes of gold ?
Does he suppose that the business
men of the country who are import
ing goods or who have deots of auy
other character to pay would pay
gold when they could purchase sil
ver , even at 99 cents to the dollar ,
which would count to them one
hundred ceuis ? To-suppose Ptioh
an action is , I think , to very much
undervalue the business taotaud sa
gacity of the people who have oc
casion to use large sunib in the
transactions of their business. Sup
pose , Mr. President , that iu 1873 , in
stead of demonetizing silver , Con-
gresti bad demonetized gold , and
that to day the silyer dollar , as it
was given us by the fathers , waa the
only money that would pay import
duties and interest ou the public
debt , will any one pretend to say
that silver would not bo worth more
than gold ? The fact Is , the depre
ciation of silver is mainly due to the
act of Congress in driving it out of
existence as a legal tender. Then
what is wanting to restore it to its
former position ? It la simply noth
ing more nor less than to put it
where it was found on the lat day of
January , 1873. . .Let tne government
remoiieuze sliver to day , indorse it
ana make it receivable for all debts
the same as sold , and to-morrow
tne silver dollar will bo worth more
thau greenbacks , and will be worth
Trithin a small motion of a cent ot
gold , and sll tnis fright that has
bean created with the depositors In
savings-bauka and with others will
have pasjed away as a dream ; and
in doing tbid there can ba no viola
tion of tt legal obligation or the
abandonment of a moral principle.
Even In London , the recognized
centre for regulating the values of
bullion , the best business men arc
taking n more hopeful and a more
reasonable view , as I would think.
ot the etfeot of the change tbau
many of our own people As an
instance of this , I present tne fol
lowing view of the situation , given
by one of the leading bankers In
London , and taken from a late num
ber of the London Times. He
Bays :
Attentivn consideration ot the
probable effect of silver remonetisa-
tlon in America would probably do
much io e&lm down any alarm that
may have been raised by hasty talk
about repudiation aud the liko. In
the first place , it is necessary to sep
arate altogether the "silver" men
from the "poft-moaey" partisans of
the agricultural States of the interi
or. Thla bill for the remunetiaatlon
of silver has nothing or little to do
with projects for the issue of uulitu-
ited paper , except so far M tha pars
ing of the zneumn-e might do much
to render euch i = tue useless , Re
pudiation is a word that can in no
oenee apply strictly to the United
States. Snpposin ? it should decree
silver as the sole lawful money to
morrow , and WQ doubt whether
Dondfaolucr would lese much by the
change. At the present price of sil-
