THE MEXICAN BORDER.
Robbery and Murder of American
Citizens on Mexican SoiI.


BROWNSVILLE, Tx, Sept ga series
OF robberies and grand murders have re-
Gently been committed on United States
Icitizens residing and travelling In the Mex.
lean border State, which appear to indl-
cate that the bandits select Americans as
their victims. either as, 0 retaliation for
General McKenzie's raid into the Kicka.
poo camp aud Mexico, or because the au.
thorities are so unirlendly to Americans
that such crimes can be perpetrated with.
out fear OF punishment. Within abort
timc Mir, Montgomery was attacked, rob.
bed, and left for dead In his house in None.
tery. Jose Eravezie was beaten In his
store In Camargo, and left for dead, his as.
sailants being discovered In time to pre-
vent robbery. The Perdie family were
robbed on the highway near San Far
nando. The men, women and children
were tied and left to starve In an unire-
quented spot. Mr.. Henderson and two
companions were robbed and one Of them
killed In China, Two Americans were at
tackled and one wounded In the road near
Marina, escaping only after o desperate
fight, in which one oi the assailants was
mortslly wounded. DR.. Haggerty was
killed in q house al Agus Leagues, and the
premises robbed. The perpetrators Of the
crimes were arrested and their guilt
clearly established, except in the Perdie
case. As yet not one oil them Is punished,
the authorities being either Indifferent or
powerless. The facts have been proven
before the U. S, Consul and sent to Wash

THE CROPS.
September Review al The Agrlcultu-
',sI'. raj Depnrtment. nr5t al .5sl

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-The crop re
ports Of September, received In the ataI
tisticalI division Of the Department OF Ag.
riculture, present on average Of 90, for til
condition Of the wheat crop as whole
whichlis about the same as In the Sep
tember report Of 1872. While the presen
area In cultivation is much larger, thert
is manifest improvement over last yeal
In Minnesota, Wisconsin, Missouri, Kan.
sas, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Jersey
The averages Of Illinois, Iowa and Mich-
igan differ little from thoseof 1872. Cals-
fornia and Indiana z are less favored
The States In which q more than average
yield Of wheat per acre Is indicated are
Minnesota, Wisconsin and Oregon, in the
West, and New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Connecticut and Massachusetts, In the
East. This increased breadth in wheat
will place the total quantity. In several
other States above the usual product, and
give larger aggregate for the crop Of the
United States than was secured In 1879,
The quality Is generally superior in most
localities. The grain yields during the
spring were better than was expected In
New York. Thirty.three counties out Of
thirty.five reported, make returns Of an
average over poor yields, and every South.
ern State fails to make an average crop.
Iowa claims an average yield upon large
area as do Missouri and Kansas.
Ohio and Michigan como very
near an average yield. Illinois reports
indicate seven per cent less than the av-
erage, and Indiana and Kentucky a still
greater depreciation.
The facts presented by correspondents
show conclusively that the crop deterior.
alton 10 from climatic causes, greatly in.
creased by careless husbandry, and that
the crop failures are In great measure
avoidable. Much Of the loss from rust,
blight, and even from insects, Is directly
traceable to low vitality, resulting from
imperfect preparation OF the soil and In.
different cultivation. In all parts Of the
country, especially In the south, records
OF the skillfnl culture Of wheat show re.
peatedly double the usual averages Of
wheat.

Di.insect the Houses.

Everybody agrees that houses and
stores, closed up during the epidemic,
need to be fumigatedi they agree to it
because they have been correctly in
formed on the subject by the LEDGER,
which has generally been very correct in
its representations and teachings. The
Board Of Health have issued an advi-
sorry card on the subject, admonishing
returning citizens what is best to be
done. We warn the members Of the Board
Of Health that the ordinance which gave
It existence also gives It full and ample
authority to pass an order compelling
persons to fumigate and ventilate; and
they certaixly know that the police
force is under the control of the Board
TO enforce such orders. TIE press has
asserted its Intention to protectthe pub
lie health hereafter, at all hazards, and
the press means to keep its word, The
Board Of Health must come up to the
plain letter Of its duty. Advice is not
exactly what the pubic pays its officers
for, because that article, fresh and reli-
able, can be had OF the LIZ pYER gratis.
If it is proper to adopt 8 certain sani-
tary measure, the Board of Health
should not advise people, but command
them. 1t was created for that purpose
and no other
