VINO PREDICTIONS FULFILLED.-The
Auburn Journal Justly remarks that all the
predictions made by the Wings in 1914, in
regard to the consequences of the election
of Mr.. Polk to the Presidency have been
fulfilled. Wings prophesied the annexation
of Texas and a consequent war with Mex
leo. We'll, Texas was annexed, and we are
engaged in war with Mexico, which this
year will cost over a hundred millions of
dollars. Wings prophesied the destruction
of the Tariff of 1S42, and the substitution
of a tariff that would render the National
Treasury bankrupt, and bring ruin upon
the great interests of the country, for the
benefit of Great Britain. The tariff of
1912 has been repealed, and we have a
tariff (Which, but for the annexation of
Texas, we should not have; for the bill
would not have passed but for the votes of
Texas Sena,ors) that will not yield over
eighteen millions of revenue, whilst the
Government expenses are HUNDRED MIL
LIONS; and, as a direct consequence of
which, manufacturing establishments of va
rious kinds, all over the country, are already
ceasing their operations, and thousands of
laborers daily discharged; thus reducing
the wages of labor, and cutting off market
for, and reducing the prices of, the agricul-
tural productions of the country. The
Wings, too, prophosied the re-enactment
of the Sub. Treasury. This odious measure
has just passed Congress. We have
thanks to the election of James X. Polk
a war with Mexico, a war upon the domes-
tic industry, and war upon the currency
of the country; and all because Northern
demagogues have been willing to bargain
away to the South all the great interests of
the North, for official sPoILs, in possession
or in expectancy. If such is but the be-
ginning, what is to be the END?

MAINE ELECTION recent election
in the State of Maine, resulted in the over
throw of the Polkites. As far as returns
have been received, the popular voice is
decidedly against the locofocos. The wings
have majority in both branches of the
the Legislature thus far: several counties
have failed to elect, and there is but little
doubt that upon second trial wings will
be chosen. The Legislature elects the
Governor. In four Congressional Dis
tricts there has been no choice; one whig
and one loco elected, and one District not
heard from.
The Boston Post, loco paper, with i'm
perturbabe good nature, says "the cleo
ton in Maine was the first of the .fall
elections"

CRops ON THE EUROPEAN CoNTrNEST.--
The Paris press publishes the following
notice of the crops in France, on the
authority of a private correspondent:
We are about to enter on one OF those calamit.
GUS years in which the ordinary resources are not
sufficient for the food Of the people, The crop
OF 1S45 is entirely exhausted, and that Of 184S
has produced less than fair average. The rye
harvest has so completely failed throughout
France, that it will scarcely produce sufficient
for seed for the ensuing year. Some farmers
have not thrashed their crop, as they found i
would not pay the expense. Wheat is in general
Of good quality, but, contrary TO the san.
guine expectations OF the farmers, the produce is
less than that Of the year 1916. The oats have
been scorched by the sun in several departments.
They are inferior in quantity and quality every.
where, but particularly in the departments where
they serve for the food Of the Inhabitants. Dry
vegetables, such as peas, beans and lenlils, will
not produce sufficient supply for the ensuing
winter. Cabbages and carrots are exceedingly
scarce. Potatoes have been attacked with the
prevailing disease in twelve departments and
cause serious apprehensons for the future. So
much for France. Let us now examine the pros
pect in foreign countries. In Belgium there are
no complaints OF the harvest, but it will not pro.
duce any overplus for expectation. In Holland
no decline in the price Of provisions is expected.
1t is further said that a. the opening Of the States
General the government will demand an exten.
sion of the bill passed las. yeor to encourage the
importation Of foreign grain. Portugal is men.
aced with an approaching famine, and Spain is
too poor to assist her neighbors. Switzerland
will be compelled to seek provisions from abroad.
Among the countries which commonly export
corn Pomerania has no wheat to spare. Mayance
cannot suffice for the demand OF Switzerland and
Of Alsace. Alexander and Odessa have not
wheat in their stores, and the prices were general
y rising even before the failure Of the potatoe
crop in Ireland was known. 1t may therefore be
asserted as genearl proposition tina. Europe is
placed in a difficult position with respect 10 the
supply Of her population.

A Snug SUM.-The regiment recently

States, and disbanded, cost "Uncle Sam,

THE Observation-Disclosures
TATION.

On the subject of amending the Consti-
tuition, the st. Louis Union speaks as fol.
lows:
1--WE cannot reasonably expect that any county
will voluntarily abandon the privilege Of having
at least one representative; and instead Of asking
such change, we can sec no serious objection to
leaving the provisions Of the present constitution
as they now stand, with the single exception OF
that clause which limits the House TO one hundred
members. This great reform can be carried at
the next session Of the Legislature without
difficulty, if wise and reasonable course shall
be pursued. We can see no difficulty in the
way, unless an unnecessary buGbear be made Of
the small additional expense. We cannot be.
leve that the citizens of Missouri will sacrifice
primary principle Of free government, in order
TO save few thousand dollars annually Strike
out the words, "and the number of representa-
tives shall never exceed one hundred" as found
in the second section OF the article on legislative
power and the great end will be attained This
can be, and should be, substantive proposition,
wholly disconnected from all other questions"
This is substantially the same position
assumed by the Times some weeks since,
of which the Democrat spoke so sneeringly.

from one of its own family? 1t is the bes,
plan that can now be agreed upon, in our
opinion--and as before remarked, we are
willing to give tia trial. We care not
whether Wing, Democrat, or native es.
pouse it, or make sport of it, it will give
US equal representation, and that is what
the people desire. 1t will break up the
warfare between large and small counties,
which being done, will materially add 10
the harmony of the Legislature, and expe-
dite the movements Of that body in its e-
climate sphere Of action. We desire to
see such an amendment, disencumbered,
submitted to hepeoplc for their APPROVAL
and we call on all the friends of equal rep.
resentation to unite with US in demanding
i, of the next Legislature.

1PThe "Central Committee" is called
upon to meet at Jefferson on Monday, to
nominate candidate 10 be supported by
the democracy, to fill the unexpired term
of the Hon. Sterling Price, resigned. This
committee was appointed by the State
convention Of 1914, and empowered to
fill vacancies, occasoned by death, resigna-
ton or otherwise. Ii consists Of three del
egates from each of some six or eight Of
the central counties. We understand the
delegates from this county are making ar
engagements to attend, either in person or
by proxy. There are many aspirants for
the vacant seat; so many, that it is hard to
tell who will be the fortunate one. The
Enquirer" is evidently afraid some OF
them will not submit their claims to the
committee" but will refer them to the
People; and it is accordingly preaching
from the text of harmony and conces-
SION" By next week we will be able to
inform the People who the COMMITTEE
says they must support.

1t is confidently asserted that a poor
young man has but two alternatives
either TO go TO work orgo to ruin. A great
number choose the latter. 1t is singular
choice; but those who make it may. be

the corners of the streets, with stumps of
segars in their mouths, or with tumblers of
vlllalnous spirits in their hands.
