The GRAIN CaOp OF the NORTHWEST.

From the Chicago Tribune, July 81
There Is now but very little doubt that the grain
crops Of the Northwest will be full in quantity and
sair lD quality. The rains which fell so copousy
during the Sumner months have produced a luxu-
rance Of growth, which promises large yield,
while the bOggy condition Of the land, from which
80 much was feared, has given way to q sufficient
degree Of dryness to admit OF harvesting operations
being carried on in the usual way. The weather has
been good for several days past, and, unless decided
change for the worse should ensue, the farmers Will
gather In full crops OF all the small grains.
and sustain but partial loss In corn. There have
been full and sufficient grounds for tho cr0akings
which have met the ear daily and hourly for some
time past inssmuch as the rainfall has been very
unusual one, though not unprecedented. But those
who have calculated carefully the percentage Of loss
which would probably ensue failed TO remember the
losses of former years from causes which the rain
has removed this year. They have omitted to speak
OF the percentage Of loss in other harvests from too
much dryness and from the ravages OF insects. A
harvest equally good throughout the country was
never yet met WITH and may place special stress
on the fact that more grain Ia lost on the high lands
In dry seasons than will be found to have been
drowned out in the bottoms this year.

The statement Of the associated banks for the
week ending to-day makes rather an unfav0rsbie
exhibit IN the continued reduction OF the legal re-
serve. Notwithstanding the gain Of $1,000.000 In
coin from the sale Of that amount during the week
by the government the balance OF specie had do
creased sl,s6s.OOo. with total shipments for the
week amounting to only $l,5io,ooo, while the legal
tenders had likewise decreased in the ncishborhood
OF forty-ive misunderstanding total loss OF
lawful money reserve of S1,9l3,ooo Against this is
an increased expansion Of over four and quarter
millions in the item OF loans. The gain In national
bank note currency is represented by an increase In
the deposits OF over three and hreequarter millions,
thus adding the liabilities Of the banks without
STRENGTHENING their condition. The amount held in
lawful money In excess OF the twenty-five per cent
legal reserve shows o reduction Of TWO and three.

lowing information IN regard to the movement OF

WarIike.

A somewhat sensational item from the
Heraid's Washington specials appears
among our kilograms this morning. 1t
purports to give the substance of an in
terview between Secretary FISH and the
Spanish Minister. The latter wanted a
proclamation to deter fillibustering, and
the former firmly refused to proclaim,
on the ground that the insurgents had
set up for themselves, and he saw no
good reason for preventing persons who
desired to do so, from taking pot-luck
with them. In regard to the Spanish
outrages, our piscatorial Premier is re-
ported to have briefly and emphatically
presented the alternative of reparation
or fight.
The account is rather highly colored
to be perfectly reliable, though it is
very probable an interview between
these illustrious perSonages has been
had. 1t is likely, too, that the Secre-
tary expressed himself rather plainly
upon pending matters. War with
Spain is part of the Administrations
programme, and unless Spain backs
down GRANT is determined to have it.,
whether the country is ready for or not.
Upon it depends the unity and future
prosperity of the Radical party.

Cause of Removal.

Among our Washington items will be
found a notice of the first removal
among his own appointees yet made by
the President. The case is that of a
leading Loyal Lacquer Of Philadel'
phia named Cox. He was detected in
"kleptOmania," as a telegram mildly
puts the case. la other words he was
caught thieving, and the fact coming to
GRANTS knowledge, the offender lost
his place, that of Consul at Leghorn.
1t will be observed that the offence con-
sists not in the fact of theft, but in the
detection. This will greatly relieve
the thousands of rogues in Office, all of
whom are now assured that their rascal
ity is all right provided no public ex-
posure is made. Cox suffered because
he was dull enough to be caught in his
villainy. Let it be generally under
stood, that GRANT will only tolerate
such thieves in office as have the wit to
cover their tracks. The business of
robbing the public is toe grave and sol
eml to be entrusted to bunglers and
boobies.

The Gratitude of CoIfax.

Being under obligations for his nom-
ination to JOHN DEFREEs, late Public
Printer, COLFAx naturally feels vindict-
i've toward his benefactor. This is the
case with all mean men in their treat
ment of those to whom they are indebted
for favors. The relations between these
two "loyal" worthless are now quite
chilling. Meeting Mr.. DEFREEs the other
day, CoLFAx so girt himself with cold
formalities, so bristled with the chera"r
de trise of icy dignity, as to send per-
feet shiver DEGREES through the frame
of the defunct Superintendent of public
types and documents. JOHN wanted to
chat, but could only chatter. COLFAX,
after having refused to interfere to pre-
vent the dismissal of DEFREEs, now de-
clines to recommend him for new po-
sitiOn. A furious misunderstanding be-
tween the Vice President and his author
is the very natural result.

The Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations, in the case of PILE, nomina-
ted Minister to Brazil, lifted the hair
from that reverend gentlemen's cram
ium by an adverse report. General un-
fitness is the reason assigned in the re-
port, ample ground to be sure, but an ap-
plication of the rule in GRANTS case
would vacate the Presidential chair.
CARLILE, our well-beloved, was subjected
to the same depile-atory process, with
the Missouri unfortunate. Political fish
mess seems to have worked his undoing.
The Committees report is equivalent to
rejection in both cases. The only hope
of the anxious aspirants lies in the Sen
ate's possible failure to act. If, as
seems almost certain, CARLLE should
be thrown ont by the Senate, we may
look for al unprecedented feat of polit-
ical gymnastics, and that right early.
