Tie San Francisco Bulletin, of a
late date, says that the surplus of the
incoming wheat crop of California will
not be less than 400, 900 tons, while the
State Agricultural Society places it at
G35, 900 tons. This last authority gave
the yield for last year at 635, 600 tons,
which the Bulletin says is below the
mark, since the exports already exceed
100000 tons, while at least 200, coo
tons must have been consumed for
food, feed and distilling purposes.
Last year Oregon shipped 25, 900 tons
wheat to foreign ports. She can easily
ship $4,000 tons this year, provided
she can get the tonnage. Taking hhe
wants of that State into account, IT
looks as if 425, 600 tons of tonnage for
the year ending June 80, 1874, would
be required to move the wheat crop of
California and Oregon. The prospects
for obtaining this supply, the Bulletin
thinks, are not hattering.

therefore arrested for the murder and

promotion of that welfare which is
common to the whole people of the
whole country"
Il is, indeed, much to be hoped that
the Oranges will not permit them
selves to be captured by designing
men and used for purposes foreign to
those for which they have been insti-
tuted.
The constitution of the Oranges,
National, State and Subordinate, de-
clares, i'll express terms, that Gre
hgiols or political questions will not
be tolerated as subjects of discussion
in the work of the Order, and no po-
litical or religious uses for membership
shall be applied"
The gentlemen who are prominent
in Introducing the Order also make
the same declaration. If these decla-
rations, therefore, are to be believed,
there can be no objection to the Order
because of its being political organi-
zation.
That combination and concert of ac-
ton on the part of farmers, will in
many ways, practically and materially
advance their interests and promote
then welfare, cannot be denied. Prob
ably no calling in life has hitherto
availed itself so little Of the mighty
power underlying the principle of
cooperation as has that Of the
farmer. Certainly no interest has
been so much preyed upon by other
interests as the farming interest, orone
that has been SO much at their mercy,
mercy equalled only by that of the
wolf for the lamb. Separated and
scattered by the very nature and neces-
sites of their calling, the cultivators
of the soil, have as general rule,
ever made less profit from it's products
than any of the many classes of men
who handle them.
Incidental to the general advantages
that will accrue to the country from
an Improvement i'll the condition of the
farmers, there is one that we look forward
to with much hope, and that is closer
union between the people of the South
and the people of the Northwest
The interests of these two sections
are so similar, or rather, each section
seems SO fitted to supply the wants of
the other, that closer communion be-
tween the two can result only in COM
| mon good.
AT the present we see no machinery
SO well calculated to bring about that
closer communion between two sec
tlons of the country, each having need
II the other, and each being able to
supply the wants of the other, as the
Farmers Oranges or Patrons of Hus-
bandry, or one that promises to be so
free from entangling political questions
of the present and the past
Let the farmers, therefore, while
seeking to advance their own interests,
avoid injury to others let them also
steadily set their faces against the
prostitution Of their order to mere po-
lltlcal partizan purposes and all will
| be we'll. Let them do otherwise, and
| harm, and harm only, will come to
them and to the country at large.

WHAT A MASSACHUSETTS Roy
SAID.


One OF the class orators, a Massa-
chusetts boy, at the recent Yale COM
mencement, in the course of his re-
marks, said:
Within six months, a President
whose paid expenses have been greater
than those of any other hesitates not
to sign bill doubling his own salary,
and giving an increase to the very men
who voted for it. Two Vice-Presidents
have been concerned in money tran
sactions of at least questionable
character. A former candidate for the
Presidency has been tried, convicted,
and sentenced to prison I'D foreign
country for swindling. Venalty has
been the curse of popular governments
III every age.
Commenting on this, the Petersburg
appeal well says, considering the
latitude in which this young man was
reared and educated and the circum-
stances which surrounded him, these
brave sentiments so well expressed,
occasion pleasing surprise. Nor do
they effect this alone. They give
grounds of encouragement, that the
educated young men, the hope of the
country, are beginning to look with
proper interest, and with just senti-
ments of disapproval, upon the wide
spread corruption which destroyed
the very life of American institutions.
If such views as these obtain lodgment
III the minds of the young men of the
country, upon whom the mantles of
their fathers will so soon fall, there
Will indeed be hope for liberty and
free government
We, too, have both hope and respect
for Massachusetts boy who has the
boldness to comment upon the venality
of the government Possibly, how
ever, since he has taken the complaint
SO early he may outgrow it, especially
If Ben Butler shall be elected Gov
ernor of the State.
But while we desire to accord due
credit to this sporadic case of the now
rare disease in Massachusetts,, called
in old times love of honesty, truth
compels lis to say that the Massachus-
etts boy, like many other boys before
him, has told what was not true.
General Fremont, we believe, never
was tried, convicted or sentenced to
prison at home or in foreign land for
swindling. He was tried, convicted
and sentenced to prison for "eontu-
macy" In failing to appear before a
French Court to answer the charge of
swindling; and, according to his own
account, did not receive any notifica-
tlon to appear until it was too late for
him to get to Paris on the day appoint
ed for his trial, he being in America
at the time.
Whether General Fremont will ever
appear before the French court for |
trial on the charge of swind1ing, and if
so, what the result will be, are things
that ono fellow can find out" just neE.
The case is bad enough as it stands.

You cannot ''unify" races without an

admit him as Il social peer to the bank,

your Superior? Then, with these
sweeping promises of equality, show
us one point Of exception that

if you yield the marital word board, i"
its congener bed follows by ne
cessary implication, we expect you to

the heels OF your programme, else your
"unifcation'' is farce and snare
We can tell you that Mr. Blackamoor
means it, if you do not. He will hold
that the Dcsdemonas are NOMINATED d
III the bond. Once confirm the COM
pact Of social equality and race unfit
cation. and you set his prurient
thoughts, in hot blaze to consummate
the incestuous union. You may not
have taken all this to account within
the scope Of your programme, but
blame not others, cooler than your
selves, who carry out the thoughts to
necessary results. 1t is 4 nasty COM
pact, IL its beginning and all its sur
rOundings, and 1t can have none but a
loathsOme conclusion.
