The protest recently uttered by Mr.. John Dige-
low against the projected exhibition at phladol-
phia, as fitting celebration Of tho ono-huu-
drodth anniversary Of American Independence,
has attracted considerable attention from tho
fact TINT 1t WAS with Mr. Bigclow that tho fdoa
OF Centennial Celebration originated. In gen.
eral, Mr. Bigolow's objection to the Philadelphia
Exhibition, as An appropriate celebration Of
tho occasion, IL that 1t Ia assuming too mucl,
OF mercantile and local character. We
have hold that 1t would ho unadvisablo to nut
any obstacle in the way Of tho AuccoaH Of tho
Philadelphia Exhibition, for the reason that
1t Aaa assumed national importance, and
should, therefore, command tho oo-opor-
alton Of all Who can contribute to Its
grandeur and ugefulnoHs. Tho local and NOR
cantilo characteristics which IL Is assuming were

The Madison journal takes notice Of tho Pro-
posed increaao OF freight rates on tho railways
Of Wisconsin in tone Of unsupproased indigna-
ton. It says that the time has como for the
Legislature to examine into the condition of the
railways, and ASCERTAIN whether their alleged in
ability to earn dividends ariaos from inadcouacy
OF charges for freight and passenger traffic, OF
from stock-watering, or construction rings.
Or wastoful management, or eystom
Of swindllng tho stockholders out of what fairly
belongs to them. Railway building was COM
noncod In Wisconsin twonty- three years ago. It
Eould soeln that If the operation Of rallwaya was
aver to DO profitable in that State, it ought to be
10 now. II the stockholders arc getting nothing,
thoro must be reason for it. Tho Journal ia
quito right in calling for searching inquiry
into that reason.

Speculation concerning tho action Of the
Massachusetts Republican Convention, which
moets today to chooao somebody else than But

tion to tho resolutions. Judge uoar will be

1t is not thought likely TINT candidate for tho

Vambery, who has become the great
authority of Europe on Central Asia
questions, is Hungarian by birth, ard
in the disguise of Turkish dervish has
travelled all through the khanates of Xiii
va, Bolxhara and Khokan, and revealed
their secrets. To qualify himself for this
task he lived among Turks in CONSTANT
nople, and became proficient in all th cir
religious traditions and ceremonies; in
deed, he SO absolutely transformed him
self that he deceived even the pious,
prayerful thieves of Bokhara. But if the
Journey was wonderful, the cause for
which it was undertaken seems still more
wonderful. Vambery was pilgrim to
the shrine of his ancestral language; will
ling to run the risk Of becoming philo.
logical Emartyr in order to determine
whether the Hungarian language belongs
to the Finnish or the Tartaric limb of
the Altaic stock. His sufferlngs and ad>
ventures, and the cleverness with which
he evaded detection, read like the wild

ties reporting in regard to winter
wheat, 283 report an acreage equal to

and 207 diminished acreage. OF
800 counties reporting spring-wheat,
172 report. an increased acreage n
an acreage equal to that of the pre-
vious year, and 81 3 decrease. In
New England, Maine reports a de-
crease of 10 per cent, Vermont "a
percent, and Massachusetts 8 per
cent. in winter.wheat. In spring
wheat they are all below last year ex-
cept Maine, where the increase is s.
per cent. In the Middle States the
acreage of winter-wheat is somewhat
above that of last year. New York
and Pennsylvania report decreased
of spring-wheat, amounting
to per cent. In the South, Georgia
