Our Street Gamins.

MR. EDIroR:-In these days of re-
formation, while our women are do
ing so much for the sup ppression of
intemperance, we think the attention
of a large number of the fathers and
mothers of our city ought to be
called to the fact that their boys are
constantly contracting habits and as
sociations on our streets at night, the
tendency of which is to make them
anything but good citizens in the
future.
Our streets at night are almost
Med with boys from six to eighteen
years of age, grouping themselves
about windows, chewing and smoking
tobacco, swearing and telling obscene
stories, and generally making nui-
sances of themselves, as we'll as con
tracing habits that will ruin them,
mind, body and soul, if persisted in

or mother in our city who would like
to have their sons grow up to man

yet at the same time, You are allow
ing them to associate themselves with
such influences while they are so sus-
ceptible to them. that it can only be
by Gods mercy that any of them es-
cape utter contamination. AS well
might we expect the waters OF our
river, when in it's most turbid state,
to instantaneously become pure, or
to change its current and flow up
stream instead of down, as to ex-
pect the lives of these boys exposed
constantly to these pernicious in
Auences, when they arrive at the
age of manhood, to become pure and
upright citizens. And now, while
we witness the pure and holy devo-
tion of our women in the cause of
reformation, let US not put anything
in their way, hut rather assist them
in such a way that their work may
not be made in vain, but that it may

for two reasons; because it is pub
lished in my native county, and for
the temperance moSement. which is
being prosecuted in your city and
county. | have been watching

and am highly pleased that good
ladies' of Gallipolis and vicinity are
really in earnest in their good work;
for it ls really the work of the
ladies, as they have q great in
fiuenee for good.

also progressing in the Champion
City; carried on by our noble wo
men with Mother Stewart at their
head, backed up by the police force
and influential citizens. They hold
prayer meetings almost daily, then
60 out and visit the saloons and
drinking houses, and sing and pray
for the keepers to abandon the ne
farious traffic. In some they are
admitted, while they are barred out
by others Yet they kneel on the
cold stone and offer up fervent pray
ers for all those engaged in dealing
ont poison to their fellow man. Now,
while am writing, their voices are
heard singing and praying for the
saloon keepers to surrender.
Our noble women are determined
to put Il stop to the traffic in our
city, if it takes years to have it ac
complished; "they have enlisted for
the war" God speed them in their
noble work! | am happy to say
the temperance cause is becoming
more popular in Clark county; her
citizens are waking up. Excite
ment runs high. while all "cliks'
are talking about "The Movement
Dio Lewis delivered a lecture on
temperance here last week at the
Opera House, accompanied by Mr.

Ayoicc from the East.

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:
cit is more than probable that the
lapse of time has made it so difficult to
eliminate these various elements IN cal
culaticn. 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
prcfligate expenditure. But if the va
lid.ty 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

cost also must be put at a reasonable
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
$500, 900, 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.
1T seems to us that the best way
would be for the railroads to submit to
the smooth operation Of the laws. II,
after one years running, they can show
they have been running at a loss, or

earned, we presume the representatives

ing to modify the laws. We think,
though. that 10 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 diyi-
dends. Let the people go on with the

There is no report for 1868. 1t ap-
pears from the foregoing that, out of
twelve crops recorded, the price

instances and lower in three:

The probabilities all are, therefore,
that our wheat will be worth more next

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 a
reason that they do not want to raise
the price among the farmers.
Another reason why flrmers 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
ers or stop grinding.

Influence 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
NC Of meteorological observations. The
mean Of the yearly rainfall in Barba-
does, on the average Of the last twenty
FIVE years (l47-lS7D is established,
on ample data, at STA inches. 1t 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. His 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 500. and adding Z IL per
cent, if that year was q dry one, or
deducting ID per cent. if it waa a wet
one. The Governor justly remarks
that the theory of the calculation and
its practical application "may be Of SER
vice not only to the planters Of Barba-
does in particular, but to the agricul-
turists Of other countries who have

between the rainfall and crops (espec.

report will afford some useful materials
and suggestions.
