Encouraging to the FarmcCs
of The West.

The following is an extract from a
letter, to business firm in Crcsc, :
ave are Of the opinion that the FARM
ers of the Northwest will reap rich
reward fer their labor the present sea-
son, with the prospect Of a bourtiful
harvest and largely increased foreign
demand, in consequence of the calami-
tous innundation of the largest wheat
producing region in the world, prices
of cereals must advance. Austro- Hum
gary has supplied Europe with millions
of bushels Of wheat annually; the popu-
lation of this vast region are now desti-
tute; everything is swept away and
they must import their bread-stuff from
the United States. Those portions Of
Europe that had heretofore consumed
the surplus products of Hungary, must
draw their supplies from us,and higher
prices must rule" a-
From the New York Times
From Austro- Hungary comes intelli-
gence which renders it certain that
great demand will be made upon the
wheat crop Of America for this year.
In various portions Of the monarchy the
prospect Of the crops has been COM
pletely destroyed. Hungary has been
termed the granary Of the world; the
black, fertile soil of the Banat is SO well
adapted to raising wheat that frequently
from thirty to forty bushels Of choice
wheat have been raised to the acre.
Now this region is completely inunda-
ted with water.
From the Chicago Journal
To our farmers, with a surplus supply
of wheat, large and profitable foreign
market will be opened this year in
Austro-H Hungary. This region, hitherto
the great granary Of Europe, is inunda-
ted this summer, and, instead of ex-
porting the precious cereal next winter
and spring, the people must look to
other countries for wheat whereof to
make their bread. From the United
States the main supply will be drawn,
not only for the flooded grain region,
but for the kingdoms that have hither-
to depended on the soil Of the Banat
for their extra share Of grain. This
will give impetus to the great wheat
producing region Of the Northwest,
and the chances are that the vast
grain store-houses of that fertile section
will be empticd this year to the profit
Of the industrious producers.

EDITOR PLAIN DEALER.-Public Of
fcals ale the peoples servants and their
official acts are rightfully subject to
criticism, and the accumulation Of the
school money from January to July.
Gas appears by the Auditors report to
the Board of Supervisory furnishes
ample ground for popular complaint
and just ground for criticism, and the
tax payers commend and approve the
courage that criticises.
The Auditor calls on HowARp and
explains the accumulation as follows
Men apply for loans but their land is
encumbered, and school money can
only be loaned on unincumbered ground
and the applicant agrees to pay inter-
est from the day the application is
made. (But how is it if the loan is
never taken? Does the applicant then
pay the interest, and to what time p
Ed. p. D.
The Auditor alleges that under that
state of facts the County looses no
interest on the accumulated money,
and he denies all interference with the
Clerk as to who is, or who shall be
taken as surety on stay bonds; and
that the only case that came to his
knowledge Of faultfnding, was at once
corrected by the signature Of a respon-
sible man, and he also denies making
pet loans.
He politely asked me to make his
statement public. l do it cheerfully.
aud you will allow me to say that the
business of tho house in which / do
business has been done kindly, prompt
ly and accurately by the Auditor, and
there are no unkind feelings existing
against him ; and what has been writ
ten has been written in good faith and
as an act Of public justice, and has the
popular approval.
The Auditors frankness and desire to
set himself right is commendable.
We shook hands for the first time.
We are ready to explain, but We are
not much On the confessional and have
never learned to back.
| We believe, and when We say How
ard County needs reform in men and
measures, we only repeat tie public
sentiment Of the County.
We belieue in rotation in Office as
both wise and safe.
! Why cannot the current expenses Of
the county be promptly paid and the
employees not have to be shaved twen-
ty dollars OH hundred.
Does the Clerk, the Treasurer and
the Auditor have to stand the shave,
or do they get dollar for dollar? Mr..
Editor, no man believes these officers
or the Board of Supervisors stand
shave.

Howard.

Brick Pomeroy says that now is the
time for '.evcry Democratic voter to sell
his vote to the highest bidder, and take
his pay cash in hand" Without qucs-
tioning the morality or smartness Of this
proposition, because it is both moral and
smart in Pomeroyian sense, we would
suggest that if every Democratic voter
was as little worth buying as he is, there
would be mighty few bidders and slow
sales.

The Liberal Platform.

The following are the resolutions in full !:
We, the Liberal Republicans of the United
States, in national convention assembled at
Cincinnati, proclaim the following principles
as essential to q just government:
First. We recognize the equality of all
men before the law, and hold that it is the
duty of the Government, in its dealings with
the people, to mete out equal and exact JUS
lice to all, of whatever nativity, race, color,
or persuasion, religious or political. -.
Second. We pledge ourselves to maintain
the union of these States, emancipation, and
enfranchisenlent, and to oppose any REOPEN
ing of the questions settled by the thirteenth,
fourteenth, and fifteenth amendments of the
Constitution. s,
third. We demand the immediate and alb
so,,,te remoyaIo of I'LL disabilities imposed on
account of the rebellion, which was finally
snbdued seven years ago, believing that uni
yersal amnesty will result in the complete
,,acification Of all sections Of the country.
Fourth. Local enlightenment with I'M !;
martial suffrage will guard the rights OF an u
citizens more securely than any centralized
nower., The public 8elfare requires the, SUI
preu,acy OF the civil over the military aullio!-
itv and the freedom Of person under the pro,
tectiouo of the kabeas corpus. We aelhaiio

cinnati, for he warned them that in less than
ten minutes they might have to change the
convictions of years. There were similar
scenes in the Senate. Seriously, however,
the ticket was most unexpected, and created
at first among the Conservatives feeling OF
general disappointment. This was especially
so among the many friends of Davis and
Trllmbull, and among the few adherents OF
Adams. @..@ .-e..
A very general informal conference was
held by the Democratic senator's and MEM
bcrs during the afternoon, and it was deter
mined with great unanimity that on their part
there should ben public individual approval
of the Cincinnati ticket, but that the MEM
bcrs of the Democratic party in Congress
should delay their preferences until the voice
of the whole party should be heard in the
National Democratic Convention on the Gin
cinnati ticket, and that whether the Conven-
ton should be for or against it, every meni-
Der should be bound by its decision. 1t was
thought that in no other way could the har-
mony and organization of the Democratic
purity be maintained. Several Democratic
members, however, spoke in approval of the
Liberal nominees Washington telegram
