TEE CHAMPION SWIMMER. The Erhibitio,
at Carrouton. Clark, the champion
swimmer, one Of ''our own boys" who has
never yet been beaten, although something
like one hundred and forty matches, proposes
to show his friends and the public, this even
ing, what he can do.
The exhibition will take place at Carrollton
and will begin at half-past o'clock.
Mr.. Clark will first swim across the river,
against time, and will then perform the feat of
walking on water.
There is nothing like crowd to inspire a
man, especially when the fair sex is in the
majority, and it is to be hoped that there will
be plenty on hand.
In trial the other day, MIR. Clark swan
across the Bayou st. John at a point near the
St John boat-house, with heavy clothing on,
in 374 seconds.
Minister JEWELS eagerness to accept the
office Of Postmaster General is accounted for
IN the fact that he had become unpopular at
the Russian Court A letter which he had
written to some OF his friends at home, and
containing information that Was the reverse of
hatterlng to the effete despotssm at St. Peters
burg, got into print in this country, and went
directly back to the Russian capital to roost
TERMINATION OF THE FoRMosAN WAR-The
Japanese expedition to Formosa has been
brought to an end by the interposition of the
Chinese Government. The New York Herald,
alluding to the fact, says:
We almost regret the moderation which the
Japanese seem to have displayed in RETIRING
from Formosa merely on the promise of China
to protect foreigners and pay the expenses of
the expedition. So far as the interests of civ
iizaaon are concerned, it would have been in
fnitely better for the japanese to have taken |
possession Of Formosa and reduced it's semi |
basharous population to obedience.
The interference of China can only have |
been prompted by selfish and jealous reasons,
and It will encourage the Formosans in their |
hostility to foreigners rather than prevent the |
recuzrence Of similar ootrages to those which |
impelled the japanese Government to under
take distant and expensive expedition in the
interests of humanity and civilization.

7 THURMAN AND THE PREs1DENcY.-Se Senator
Thurman is the Presidential candidate most
| talked OF in the upper branch of Congress.
His political friends claim for him the leader
ship Of their party, in the Senate and in the
nation that he is statesman of large views
| and lawyer of profound learning: that his
sense Of honor and integrity are lofty; that
he is an elegant gentleman of the old school
one of the very few who would add dignity to
the office of Chief Magistrate. The objections
urged to Thurman are that he belongs to
the wrong school in politics the State
Supremacy school of jefferson, Calhoun and
Alexander H. Stephens, rather than to to the
National school Of Hamilton, Marshall, Web
ster and Story. 1t is also alleged that his phi
vate utterances during the war were savagely
denunciatory Of the methods employed in
prosecuting the war, and that these repeated
declarations would be used against him should
he be candidate. Others urge as an obiec-
ton that Judge Thurman is too cold in man
ner; that he ''freezes people," that he is so
heightened that he will not come down from
the clouds and seek the Presidency. 1t is
quite certain that Thurman is doing nothing
III the world to secure a nomination, and does
not admit his candidacy or discuss his pros
poets with his most intimate friends.

The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1874-09-24

The New Haven Union, in discussing
the Western railroad war, refers to the
claims of the corporations that the
legislation of the Northwestern States
would be ruinous to their interests.
should they run the roads in compli-
ance with its provisions. 1t says, the
truth or falsehood of this statement
can only be gathered from the railroad
reports, and these are misleading, their
apparent cost not being certain indi-
cation Of their actual cost. There is
good sense in the Unions concluding
remarks:
at is more than probable that the
lapse of time has made it so difficult to
eliminate these various elements in cal
culation. that the only true basis for
an estimate would be what it would
cost now to build. equip and run the
different lines. Of course, the latter
plan leaves no margin for watered
stock. or for stock the value of which
was largely wasted IN experiments and
prcfiigate expenditure. But if the Va
idity Of the law is to turn upon its
reasonableness, that is, upon the
question whether the rates fixed BY it
will return = fair percentage
upon the cost of the roads after paying
running expenses, it is evident that the
The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1874-09-24

There is no report for 1868. It ap-
pears from the foregoing that, out of
twelve crops recorded, the price
has been higher in nine
instances and lower in three;
and that, Of these three, one (1S64-5)
was caused by the suppression of the
rebellion and the consequent fall in the
price of gold; while another, (186O-l)
was probably somewhat affected by the
depression in business which acoompan-
led the outbreak Of the rebellion.
The probabilities all are, therefore,
that our wheat will be worth more next
May than it is now.
The next crop in Europe can hardly
be full one;-the doctrine of chances
would indicate that it would not be. If
it is not. it's effect will be anticipated
and felt in May and June next.
The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1874-09-24

cost also must be put at reasona bic
figure. The stock and debt of most
railroads represent not only their cost,
but their waste, the aggregate of their
bad luck and their good luck. To ask
the public to pay handsome interest
on the waste, losses and profits of rail-
road corporation is an absurdity on the
face oft. If an individual put $780,
600 capital into an enter prise, and
100000 in bad notes, and expected
the concern to pay him 10 per cent. on
100000, he would be laughed at, and
the principle applies with equal force
when railroads come into court and ask
to be permitted to levy rate of
charges which will pay them interest on
all the losses they have sustained as
we'll as the actual cost Of their lines.
sit seems to us that the best way
would be for the railroads to submit to
the smooth operation of the laws. IL,
after one years running, they can show
they have been running at a loss, or
that but meager percentage has been
earned, we presume the representatives
of the industrial classes would be will
ing to modify the laws. We think,
though, that no such showing would be
made. If the roads were obliged to
confess to their actual capital stock,
and were to deduct from this what the
people have loaned, it would be made
manifest that in the past the monopo-
lists have been earning enormous divi-
dends. Let the people 60 on with the
fight. Truth is mighty and will pre-
vail"

Iufluonee Of Rainfall on Crops,

The report by Governor Rawson
upon the rainfall Of the Island of Bar.
BADGES, lately published by the Legis-
lature of that colony, presents a re-
markable example of the practical val
ue Of meteorological observations. The
mean Of the yearly rainfall in Barba.
does, on the average Of the last twenty
five years (ls47-lS71) is established,
on ample data, at STA inches. It ap-
pears that the rainfall influences, al
most certainly, the sugar crop of the
following year, but that Of the current
year only, in slight degree. In fifteen
wet years, twelve were followed by
crops more or less above the average;
and in nine dry years, eight were fol-
lowed by short crops. The crop
of any year, may, in fact, be
measured by the rainfall Of the
preceding year, with such approach to
accuracy as to give practical value to
the formulas. Governor Rawson shows
thrt between 1856 and 1869, there was
yield of crop in each year proper
tionate. without any great variation, to
800 hhds. for each inch Of rain in the
preceding year. Ills tables prove that
during the period named the formula
for calculating the crop of the current
year was by multiplying the
total rainfall of the preceding year
by 800, and adding x IL per
cent, if that year was dry one. or
deducting Z IL per cent. If it waa a vet
one. The Governor justly remarks
that the theory Of the calculation and
its practical application 'smay be ofser-
vice not only to the planters of Barba-
does in particular, but to the agricul-
turists Of other countries who have
the means Of comparing the relstion
between the rainfall and crops (sspec.
tally sugar) for which it is hoped this
report will afford some useful materials
and suggestions.

The Wheat Yield.

Mr.. James Philips, of Glencoe, writes
US as follows, about the yield Of wheat
in Mcleod county, one Of the best
counties in the State: !,
''The wheat crops here are. turning
out very poor; the best farms do. not
60 over ten bushels to the acre, while
some have yielded but eight and others
five. The farmers feel blue. 1t is just
as you stated in your paper last week,
we have set of block-heads who al.
ways see big crops before harvest"
The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1874-09-24
he Pioneer saws:

Ihe Fioneer says:
Two per cent. is the falling Of from Last
years;s wheat yield in Minnesota. Consid-
erins the damage done by grasshoppers this
is not bad.
This is the kind of stuff that is
breaking down the price of wheat in
the markets of the world
The falling off is nearer flfty per
cent. in those portions where the grass
hoppers have not been; and about
ninety per cent. where they have been.
If Minnesota expor.s ten million
busnels Of the crop of 1874, she will do
more than we anticipate.
When will editors be done with this
senseless and ruinous s'blowing?"
The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1874-09-24

Farmers in regions where these pests
have laid their eggs, should remember
to plow deep this fall. The eggs are
crushed by the weight of the earth turn
ed over upon them and where they
escape this fate. they are buried so
deep that tie suns rays do not hatch
them out until too late in the season to
do much damage.
Prevent all prairie fires this fall and
burn the fields in the spring when the
young are just hatched and unable to
fy.
We have no doubt that in thicklv
settled regions the people can success

intelligent and concerted action.

HARDLY FAIR.

The Minneapolis millers are offering
the farmers 80 cents per bushel and
then secretly buying wheat from the
warehousemen at 90 cents; giving as q
reason that they do not want to raise
the price among the farmers.
Another reason why fArmers should
hold their own wheat in their own gran
cries, and leave warehousemen nothing
to ship or sell. Then the millers would
have to buy their wheat from the farm.
