The elaborate review of the crops which we
print this morning on our fifth page gives
an encouraging prospect for the present year
The cotton crop, though not quite up 10 tne
general average is shown to he above the
average of the years since the war, while IN
creased facilities for cultivation and improved
methods make it probable that the yield VIII
continue TO increase steadily henceforward.
The extension of cotton culture into new
regions such as the State Of Kansas has been
shown to be practicable and remunerative.
The prospects of the corn crop are also prom
| isinp. Though late in some states 1t is
now coming rapidly forward, and Good yieid Is
confidently expected. The promise oil sugar
and rice is excellent in Louisiana, III spite OF
the desolating floods which have afflicted that
State. The crop of wheat is unusually good,
and now that the harvest is almost completed
| it is estimated that the excess over iaS1 year
will amount to some twenty-five niii'on
bushels Altogether the prospect Is so laVor-
able that sanguine people may DE paruohcu

ouent upon the panic are ending and that
better days are coming for the community.

Gov. Morton opens the Indiana campaign IN
stump speech quite worthy OF his reputation
as an able and unscrupulous politician. lie
points ont, Justly enough, the preposterous
DISCREPANCIES in the Democratic platforms OF
the different States, but carefully omit5 to
Indicate the equally grave discrepancies in
Republican platforms, and even between the
avowed policy of the Republican Congress
sional Committee and the avowcd pol
icy of the Republican Administration.
He boasts that the Administration party has
investigated its own coTupdonS; but carefully
omts to mention that it utterly refused the
task until driven to it by popular clamor, and
that its leaders in each case skulkcd and
denied down to the moment of conviction,
while their associates, in their blind fury have
been making warfare upon the press that
exposed them and compelled the Investigations.
He is frank enOngh to declare that the
financial bill which passed Congress
is a measure of initiation and an explicit
declaration against the policy of contraction; /;
but he omits to say that this brings 1t IN
conflict with the whole Administration party
of the East and with the President himself.
For the rest, the Governor is somewhat more
direct. as well as more statesmanlille, than
his opponents in his suggestions concerning
the railroad problem and he vindicates Gen.
Grant from the charge OF hostility to the Civil
Rights bill.

The loss of several millions by Tammany
robberles suggested the wisdom of the clause
of the Charter authorizing any taxpayer to
institute suit to reStraip officials from ex-
travagant expenditure of public money. 1t is
somewhat dscouraging to know, nOtwith-
standing present extravaglnce of the Depart
ments, that the first and only suit of this sort
instituted in the public interest was begun by
disappointed bidder for a contract to save a
few thousand dollars i'll the printing of the
Corporation paper. The weakness OF the law
is best exposed by quoting the old adage
which intmates that what is made every
body's business is performed by nobody. But
the moment any individual interest is touched
the law is instantly appealed to.

The marvellous story told elsewhere of
girl of fifteen who is possessed of a morbid
mania for burning to death the infants she is
employed to nurse would at once be set down
as incredible if it were not that the incredible
things seem to be the ones most likely to
happen nowadays. We have, besides, been lately
made familiar with illustrtitons of juvenile de-
pravity and strange insane tendencies. This
newly discovered child iIehd is described as
being in all outward appearance sweet tenn
pered and mild manneTed. and, when de-
tected, she confessed her murderous designs
with such frankness, and such evident ig-
norance of the nature of the crime, that little
doubt is left of her insanity. The judge who
examined into the mattel has wisely ordered
an inquiry concerning her mental condition,
and it is one which ought to be promptly con-
Quoted.

The letter of a careful and experienced OBJ

this Period with the Locust of the East. An
interesting account is given of its habits OF

that while a raid of nrasshoppers is bad

to justify a Congressional appropriation for

Constitution Of the United States, every man
who possesses or produces bullion is entitled
to have it coined at reasonable cost But
on all that magnificent contribution to the
nations wealth, the miners of Montana have
had to pay from four to five per cent to get
their bullion to the mint at Philadelphia, or
to the market in Wall street, New York.
They have been obliged to pay express con-
panies two and half per cent. to get their
gold to the mint, and have had to pay in ad-
dition quite as much to get their greenbacks
back in exchange
