HOPEFUL.

Dispatches from different localities in the
Nogthwest shov that the recent rains have
osvaaasd any serious damage to the crops
hen the proceeding drought. With the
oo.eantly increasing foreign competition in
IL grain markets. the salvation Of the
NorsAwest depends upon good harvests and
moderate pricea and the harvest this year,
tl0 - q whole, bids fair to fulfill the de-
isod conditions.

AND now they say it was Governor Win
ter who led the Deacon into the "quinch
bug" blunder, and that he did it purpoeely
to kill him with the farmers! We don't be
lieve it; the Governor knows all the trick
of politics and is abundantly sharp enough
to set a trap Of that sort for an opponent, but
he is too honorable to stoop to anything Of
the kind; and besides, the Congressional
fight doesn't interfere with him, anyway
That story is too thin. 1t was evidently
started by Tom Moonlight.
