E actual debt of the United

not less than $3,000,000,000. On the
1st of March last, it was $2,137,315,
989, the reduction in nine-and-a-half
years having been $862,684,011, or
at the rate of over $90,000,000 per
annum. Nothing like this, and noth-
ing at all comparable to it, illustrates
the financial history of any other na-

IN the Dominion of Canada, Postoffice
oney orders for sums not exceeding $4

They are found very convenient for remit

At the game time in the United
States the price of small money or
ders, already more than twice as high
as in Canida, is to be still further
raised. It is difficult to understand
why rates which 'prove sufficient in
the Dominion are inadequate in this
country. Au immediate result of the
increase will be a great falling off in
the number of orders sent.
THE Postmaster-General has in
structed the postmaster at Cincinnati
not to pay any postal money order
drawn in favor of L. D. Sine of that
city, who is represented to be conduct

bidden, and that the sum of said

on the presentation of a dupli
cate order obtained under the regu
lations of the department. Registered
letters directed to L. D. Sine are or

The reports which come from many
of the States scourged by these pests
last year are very discouraging. In
Kansas a strip of country a hundred
miles wide is being devastated, and
stock is starving already.
In Nebraska, in view of the grass
hopper pestilence, to be followed by
a failure of crops, great distress and
possible famine, which nothing but
the interposition of Providence can
prevent, the Governor has appointed
June 3d as a day of humiliation,
fasting and prayer.
Missouri appears to be overrun
with them, and they have left the
wheatfields bare, stripped the fruit
trees of leaves, buds and blossoms,
and swept even the grass from the
pastures. Cattle are dying, and
thewhite
farmers are panic-stricken.
The indications are that the
mies of the destroyer are moving
toward Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana
and Ohio, seeking new fields to con
quer.
The Hartford (Ky.) Herald says
that lately a gentleman of that place
discovered that his yard was covered
with apparently frozen grasshoppers.
He selected one of the number for
experiment, and on carrying it into
*uis house and placing it before a fire
it quickly recovered full life and ac
tivity.
From the different parts of Minne
sota the reports are, grain coming up
nicely and no grasshoppers. But
what more warm weather may do in
bringing forth the latter remains to
be seen.

A correspondent writes from
Stockton, Cal., to the Fairbault Re
publican us follows: "Prospects for
the present year are not very encour
aging for the emigrants that are com
ing through this spring, but still they
are swarming in by thousands from
all parts of the globe a great portion
of them without any means whatever,
depending entirely upon their labor
for a livelihood, fully expecting they
can go immediately to work upon
their arrival here at big washes but
owing to a poor prospect of crops all
over the State, many of them are find
ing it hard to even make board with
out a bed."
Mr. Robert Smith, who went
from Alexandria, writes a letter from
Los Angeloa, of which the Alexandria
Post publishes a part: "We are at
last here in the land of eternal sum
mer, but do not find that it comes
quite up to our expectations. The
scenery is beautiful—the valleys are
rich in gardens aud orange groves,
and the grand mountains surrounding
tower snow clad, some of them 12,000
feet hijih- Real estate is held at ex-men
travagant figures, and we find very
many things strange to us in the man
ners and customs of the people, and
in their way of doing business, which
will take along time to get accustom
ed to, if in fact we ever do.
Living costs more here than in Minne
sota. Everything, almost without
exception, is dearer here in gold than
it is with you in currency."
Geo. H. Christian, returned
from his trip to California last Thurs
day evening. His reports from the
wheat crop in that State corroborate
former advices. From one half to
two-thirds of the average crop is the
most that can be calculated on. He
reports that in Central and Southern
Nebraska a large breadth of land is
sown in Spring wheat, with the best
of prospects for a good harvest.—

Mr. W. H. Moore, for a long
time an attache of Dawson's bank,
has returned from California. He
went to that state to reside perma
nently, but it did not take him long to
up his mind that he had made
a mistake, and so he at once returned
to Minnesota, where the chances for
getting along area hundred per cent,
better than on the Pacific coast. Cal
ifornia, Mr. Moore says, is a good
place to live in if a man has plenty of
money, but the last place in the coun
try for people in poor or even moder
ate circumstances. Everything is
enormously high, remunerative em
ployment out of the question, every
thing is overdone and poverty and
distress everywhere prevalent, but
still car-loads of deluded emigrants
are daily pouring in to increase the
vast number of people who have no
means of earning a livelihood, and are

LETTERS FROM OUR ST. PAUL
RESPONDENT.
COR-
ST. PAUL, May 17, 1875.
EDITOR JOURNAL.—One of the
Duluth papers had a long editorial
on these railroad bills, and claimed the
glory of their defeat for their Repre
sentative, Mr. Egan, and in the arti
cle says: "The Delano Bills had a
powerful lobby from St. Paul, and
the delegation from St. Cloud and
along the Brainerd Branch, but with
all the influence brought to bear they
were both killed in the House with
out reaching the Senate."
Who saw this powerful St. Paul
lobby, and where was that power ex
erted Certainly not at the capitol.
It was a subject of general remark
that none of the incorporators of the
Western Railroad Company were
about to lobby for the bill, but still
the Duluth editor claims that those
who were so strongly interested
in St. Paul and its elevators were
moving heaven and earth for its pas
sage aud leaving no means unused to
accomplish that end. It was another
subject of general remark that Mr.
Delano himself appeared to be very
indifferent in regard to the success of
this bill in fact, when he was asked
why he did not set a lobby at work
and pass it right along, his reply was
"that if the bill did not commend
itself on the merits of the case to theMinneapolis,
members from localities so vitally in
terested as St. Cloud and Duluth,
the men who proposed to furnish the
money to build the road were not
anxious enough about it to invest
any money in lobby operations or inby
the purchase of Honorable voters for
it."
Watching, as I did, the action of
Mr. Gilman, of St. Cloud, and hear
ing, as I did, his remarks on this
bill and on the swamp land bills
which he desired to pass, I have to
say, and I wish to say it to all your
readers, that if Mr. Chas. A. Gilman
had said one-quarter as much in fa-they
vor of the Delano Bill as he did in
favor of the swamp land bills, it
would have passed both House and
Senate with a fair majority, the efforts
of Mr. Egan to the contrary notwith
standing. Mr. Gilman dodged the
vote. What he did with his fellow
members, through their* button holes,
can be conjectured.
Representative Egan, from Duluth,
to whom the Duluth Minnesotian
awards the "honor" and "glory," was
the bold, outspoken opponent of this
Delano Bill, and why? The Lake
Superior and Mississippi Railroad
Company have ever opposed the con
struction of any line of railroad north
west of St. Cloud, and it is, in myin
opinion, owing to the opposition of
the leading men in that company
(and from the opportunity that they
have have had to prevent tavorable
action) that the St. Paul and Pacific
Extension Lines are not to-day com
pleted and in operation from Sauk
Rapids to Brainerd and from St.
Cloud to Alexandria if not to Glyn
don.
This L. S. & M. R. R. Co., at thebuilding
last session, appeared in the legisla
tive halls in great trouble arising
from a late decision of the Supreme
Court, being a decision which virtual
ly demolished the Company. It
for the passage of three acts,
all of which were very proper to be
passed to cure the decision of the
Courts, which would have been fatal
to it had the bills not been passed.
Mr. Egan was very earnest for
the success of these bills, for hisof
constituents must be very deeply in
terested in the present and future suc
cess of this road from St Paul to Du
luth. Can it be possible that Mr.
Egans'sconstituents are interested only
in.that one piece of road and is it a
fact that they are opposed to the con
struction of another line that will
shorten the distance and time for the
transportation of passengers and
freight between the city of Duluth
and one of the most fertile valleys of
the Northwest? Will it help the
business of Duluth to drive all the
passengers and freight from the Sauk
Valley country, and from the coun
try between Sauk Rapids and Little
Falls and up to Fort Ripley, into St.
Paul, so that they shall at that place
be put in direct connection with Du
luth's and Lake Superior's most hos
tile foes, the Milwaukee & St. Paul
and the Chicago & Northwestern
Railroad Companies and the Missis
sippi river routes
Mr. Egan did just what the man
agers and owners of the railroad from
St. Paul to Duluth have always
done—opposed the building of the
road from Sauk Rapids to Brainerd,
and in this case opposed to the best
of his ability the Delano Bill. Mr.
Egan's arguments were varied and
took a wide range. At one time, the
lands talked about were worthless sand
beds and the inhabitants beggars
an aridcountry impenetrable swamps
nothing in that region to induce the
building of a road and Mr. Gilman
and other members who opposed the
Delano Bill sat and heard the tirade
delivered without uttering a word in
defense. But when the necessity of
the case demanded it, presto change,
those lands and people were all sothe
fine and well-to-do, and had been
so attractive to these railroad men
and bondholders!
Mr. Egan talked and worked just
like a lawyer (as he is) for a client,
and was successful in doing what has
been done so long—stopping all work
on the extensions another season and
possibly for years. I believe a ma
jority of the people of Duluth and of
Mr. Egan's district would like to see
anybody who would do it build a
road so they could get into the Sauk
Valley, and at the wheat and flour
therein, by the way of Brainerd, Lit
tle Falls, Sauk Rapids and St. Cloud.
That wheat and flour are Jar more
likely to go to Duluth from St. Cloud
and Sauk Rapids via Brainerd, than
they are to get to Duluth if they ever
go to St. Paul on their way.
The great hills and the granite,
trap and slate rock ledges that have
for so many centuries looked down
upon the western end of Lake Su
perior and upon Superior and St.
Louis bays were not pregnant with so
finely-developed and healthy a city
as the fancy of a Jay Cooke and a
Banning led many people to suppose
they would be when the Lake Su
perior & Mississippi railroad should
pour the nourishment of millions of
bushels of wheat and millions of bar
rels of flour and the other products of
the great New England of the North
west into the youngster and cause
its early expansion into "the most
wonderful city of the continent."
Wonderful city! So it is.
"And since It's so soon done for,
I wonder what it was begun for,"
I believe that Mr. Egan himself be
lieves Duluth to be "played out."
He acted very much like a person
who was hunting for something to
turn up or something to turn over.
It is a safe wager that his shingle
will be hung out in St. Paul in less
than six months.

lis miller say that he "hope th De
ano Bill would not pass, and that
the bondholders or anyfcody else
would not build that piece of road,
for it would cut off all the Sauk Val
ley wheat from them, and also give
the millers up that way a big advan
tage." It is true, that if the road to
day was finished between Sauk Rap
ids and Brainerd every bushel, of
wheat in the Sauk Valley would be
worth from three to five cents per
bushel more than it otherwise can be.
Compute the quantity for sale and
figure out the amount for yourself.
Mr. Egan thought there need beno 1 8 7 2
hurry in building any more railroads
the counties named, that the bond
holders would do it as soon as any
body, that it was reasonable and
right that they should have further
time, and that in the meantime the
roads already constructed, (meaning
thereby the Branch Line from St.
Cloud to St. Paul, and the L. S. &
M. R. R. from St. Paul to Duluth,)
could accommodate all the business
for which Mr. Delano was urging the
at once of the road from
Sauk Rapids to Brainerd. It would
let the heart's blood out of the Lake
Superior & Mississippi Railroad to
build the road from Sauk Rapids to
Brainerd the stockholders and
bondholders of that company know
it, and their paid attorneys know it.
The Hon. J. J. Egan, of Duluth,
as I mentioned in a former letter,
had a bill of his own for a swamp
land grant to aid in the construction
a railroad from Duluth to thehave,
Iron Range, and the Hon. C. A. Gil
man had some swamp land grant
lines to look after. Mr. Egan was
sharp enough to run his railroad
through the Senate, and into a law
of the State. Gilman's railroad train
went off the track after it left the
House, and the last seen of it Senator
Knute Nelson was trying to pry it on
again, while Senator Somebody was
blundering around knocking the
"bait" out from under the "skids" or
"prys."
Messrs. Gilman and Kelson wanted
Senator Capser, of Sauk Centre, to
helppry it on, but it was late at night
and Mr. Capser did not fully under
stand that kind of railroading, and
he didn't pry much. There were
enough Senators who thought that
perhaps it was as well to let the Ex
tension and the swamp land lines
lie there until next session, so did so
but Egan's bill had got in out of the
cold. What Senator Graves would
have done was not tested, but I think
he would have studied out the inter
ests of Duluth had time been given
to investigate.
Reciprocation is sometimes neces
sary, and I think that Egan and
Gilman understand it, and that they
work admirably in double harness,
particularly so if they are going into
camp with a load of their own fod
der.
Representative Frazee, of Becker
county, on the line of the Northern
Pacific, between Brainerd and Glyn
don, having carefully considered the
matter of the Extension Lines con
struction was anxious to have some
thing done which would advance
their building either in whole or in
sections as advocated by Mr. Del
take some new action which would d»y.

My advice to the young child, Du

Greeley, "Go west, young man go
west but I would add, ''Don't, for
heaven's sake, go through St. Paul or
unless you desire to bethroughout
'cleaned out* and never get any furth
er west." What I mean is, that the
founders of the city of Duluth should
have gone west into the very heart of
our rich wheat districts, gone there
going around and behind the cities
of St. Paul and Minneapolis, and
reached for the business from first
hands. The citizens of Duluth

FIRE.
A W E I N O S E N E
About two o'clock Tuesday morning a
fire broke out in the large double dwelling
house belonging to Mr. James Kennedy,
west of the Normal School. It had un
doubtedly been burning for some time, for
within twenty-five minutes after Mr. K.
was awakened the building fell in. About
two-thirds of the household goods were
saved. There is considerable mystery and
uncertainty as to the origin of thefire.Mr.
Kennedy says he believes it to have caught
in some way in a room occupied by two
girls who were temporarily absent at the
time. The engine was on hand as soon as
it could get so far, but the fire had made
too great headway to be checked. Insured
in the Continental $800 on the building
and $200 on the furniture.
This house was partially built by Mrs.
Jane G. Swisshelm, who occupied it for
several years, and in one part was THE
JOURNAL office during the time of the
war of the rebellion. It is somewhat
strange that Mrs. Swisshelm, after, five
weeks ago, watching her home in Pennsyl
vania as it was devoured by the flames of
an accidental fire, should arrive in St.
Cloud just in time to watch another build
ing, which had been her home, consumed by
another accidental fire.

STOP THAT COUGH.
Many people hesitate to try a medicine
for a disease, on account of the expense,
connected with the uncertainty of its ben
efiting them while at the same time, had
they confidence in that remedy, the expense
would be the least objection. With this
fact in view, we make the following prop
osition Any person suffering with a cold,
cough or sore throat, that will call at C.
SCIIULTEN'S or any other drug store and
purchase a bottle of Hale's Congh Cor
dial, use half of it and, if they then con
clude that it is doing them no good, they
can return the bottle and receive back their
money.
Promissory notes will also be
sold at said time and place and in amount Mid
sufficient to par and satisfy any deficiency existing.
