THE LAST GIFT CONCERT POST
PONED.

The announcement of the postpone
ment of the last gift concert of the Pub
lie Library of Kentucky will not sur
prise the public. In Governor Bran
let's card, published below, he gives
reasons for it which will be accepted
without question by every one. The
management in this instance, consult
ing the interests of those designing to
become ticket-holders, have not waited
until the last day to make this au-
nOuncement, but Just rs soon as they
became satisfied of the necessity of this
postponement, have promptly made the
announcement. 1t is unnecessary to
review the causes which have necessi-
tated this action, as they are fully re-
cited in Governor Bram!ett's card. The
promptness and frankness with which
the public have been made aware OF
the intention of the manager will meet
with the hearty commentator of every
one and excite such new interest and
confidence in the scheme and the abiIi-
ty OF the manager to perform what lie
promises, that there can be no doubt
that on the day specified the last con-
cert will be full one.
POsTPONKMENT LAST GIFT CONCERT
CARD TO TIRE PUBLIC.
The announcement of the POSTPONE
ment of the fifth and last concert of the
Public Library of Kentucky to the Both
OF November, l am satisfied, will sur
prise few and disappoint none of the
friends and patrons of the enterprise
Indeed any other course would create
dissatisfaction. With precedent of q
poStponement of each of the tour con-
certs which have already been given.
the public have very naturally and
reasonably expected that in this, by far
the largest scheme OF the series and the
largest ever offered to the world. the
same course would be followed, and
there are thousands all over the couu-
try who are only waiting for the set
ting Oh certain fixed day for the
drawing before sending in their orders.
The sales OF tickets to this date have
been highly satisfactory, and large
drawing might be had on the 3Ist Of
July, but feeling assured that a short
posEponeInent would enable us to close
out the remainder of the tickets and
make the drawing 4 full one, we have
adopted the COURSE which has evidently
been anticipated, and which must
eVenGsate most salts factoriIy for all.
Now that the day of the drawing is
absolutely determined, there remains
no further occasion for delay, and [
would urge the t'ieuds of the enter
prise who Intend to purchase tickets
to send in their orders, as iU will tax
my Office TO its utmost capacity to ac-
complish all that is to be done in the
short time which remains for the sale
of tickets.

rME REFORM CONVENTION.

The fifth of August came and
went by. The Reform convention
met at Topeka. There was no Wis
ible earthquake-the drouth con-
tinues-grasshoppers are still ex-
tant, and so is atom Collins" and
MerIins. The fifth and sixth of Au-
gust were gala days for Meriius.
The little speck of war raised by
him in Franklin county has culni-
mated in a considerable stink and
Merlius is happy. He has subsidized
to bide the ides of November, and
has taken to long editorials.
We have not room for the pro-
ceedings of the convention. We
publish the platform and ticket, and
that is as much as our readers ought
to ask. But that convention was q
queer mixture. There was Isaac
Eaton, who was born in 1875, and
was q chain-carrier with George
Washington. He is still q chain
carrier-chain lightning in a liquid
form. The youthful and guileless
Isaac Sharp, the plow-boy. was
there. These gentlemen did all
they could TO make the meeting
"pint" towards the Democratic par
ty as much as possible. They want
to herd it in that party for '7G. They
saw more point to this convention
than other participators. Eaton was
chairman of the committee on res
olutions, and such States Rights,
two-sided, Democratic mess as they
are. Truly did our friend Sam
Riggs say they had got onto both
sides Ofthe financial question. What
a startling array of meaningless gen.
eralities they are! They are mostly
devoted to arraigning the republican
party for imaginary shortcomings.
There is no new principle announc-
e0-nothing that can inspire the
masses with any other orinion than
that these fellows simply want to
get the Republican party out of the
way So they can get the offices. OF
course there were many true, good
and honest men there, but the great
err portion of the leaders were Dem
ocrats, who were there to engineer
the movement into the Democratic
party, and sorehead Republicans
who had been kicked out of the Re-
publican party, and others who had
left IL because they could not get
Office. OF course we do not impute
such groveling motives to Lizzie
Merlius. Lizzie is not that kind.
She thisks, at least, that she is fight
ing for grand principle. Snme of
the Reformers sought TO introduce
a temperance plank in the platform,
but in Such a convention It was not
popular, and it was promptly
and unceremoniously "woodbined."
There were too many Democrats
for that sort of reform-~tOo many
German votes to be caught. A ma
jority OF that convention did not be-
lieve in rcbbing people of their free
dom. What becomes OF those who
publicly declared that they must
have temperance plank in the plat
form of the new party or they would
not act with it? We shall see.
After quilting and hauling" for
two days; after trying to harmon
ize the inharmoniOus elements of
which it was composed, many ofthe
delegates denouncing some of the
leaders, it adjourned. The disap-
pointment over the result is wide
spread. Defeat stares the ticket
square In the face. The Reformers
will not reform, and the world will
go on in the old way.

The Corn CRor IN ILLINOIS,
"Rural," the agricultural editor
of the Chicago Tribune, express
es the following opinion about
the corn crop in Illinois:
1t is too early to speculate freely
in regard to the corn crop, but we
may be safe in saying that it will
be a light one, leaving no large
amount beyond the home demand.
The immense yield of 1872 is
about disposed of, and we shall
hear no more of market
stagnation in this grain for some
years to come. There is no rea-
son that the price should 90 much
beyond that of the present, as
wheat is a good crop, and oats on
the whole fine, and these in part
compensate for short corn crop.
Then again, farmers will be careful
of the crop, and feed more Judi
cionsly. The housing of animals
and grinding of feed are becoming
popular, and are found to save feed
in the making of beef and pork.
DUST now there is quite q panic in
regard to the corn crop, but a
good soaking rain would soon
change the condition of things.
