y CENTENNIAL PLATFORM We should
have the platform of the centennial par
ty as follows:
l. National unity inviolate, with no
right of secession.
2. Local self-government and equality
OF all citizens under the law.
3. An honest currency, according to the
standard of the civilized world.
4. A revenue tariff, approaching as near
to free trade as is consistent with proper
provision for our obligation.
o. Protection OF the public lands for real
settlers, from grabs of every kind.
6. Absolute freedom of religion for all,
with secular education provided in the
public schools, and no appropriation Of
school funds for sectarian purposes.
We believe that large majority of the
citizens of the United States honestly hold
TO the tenets here imperlectly expressed,
and that they can unite in new, progress
sive party founded upon them, if they will
forget the dead issues and past conflicts,
and come together without cant or preiu-
dice. When will there be better time for
such patriotic movement than in the CEN
tennial yearS-BostoR Herald

The Crop Reports.

From reliable reports for the week end
ing July 10, we learn that the wheat crop
prospects in Kentucky are not encourag-
ing. A much larger area than usual had
been planted, but owing 10 spring frosls,
while the total yield will be up to average,
the return per acre will be short The
fruit crop is deficient; grass and hemp
crops good. Tobacco promises unusually
well, and corn the same; the prospects for
both crops, if weather continues favorable,
being that they will be larger than for ma
ny years. Those portions of Kansas which
have escaped the grasshopper plague will
yield The best returns known since the SET
Element of the country. In Illinois, taking
tho whole state into account, there is a good
promise Of a large yield of wheat, oats and
corn. Corn now looks remarkably well
Oats are harvested, and the crop is I'M
usually fine. Taking the average of the
twenty-five counties reported, the grain
crops will probably be far in advance of
last year or the year before. From Mis-
souri, there are reports of n short wheat
crop, though the yield is better than last
year. Corn, however, should the season

for ten years past. Oats, grass, tobacco
and every other crop except fuit, will
probably yield very largely. From Miss
issippi increased areas of grain and cotton
are reported, and the condition and pros
poets were never better In some places
sugar-cane planting is increased, and far
mers are feeling happy. From Minnesota,
with the exception of one coanty, Nicollet,
which has sustained serious damage by
grasshoppers, this years grain crops are
reported large and of good qualify; in

while the fruit crop is almost a failure,
cereals are better than fer ten years past.
From Alabama there come reports of a
moderate increase in the cotton and a large
increase in The grain area. Cotton will
probably yield more by ten or fifteen per
cent. than at any time since the war.

SAD SEQUEL TO AK ATIE KING. Rob
ert Dale Owen has become insane. lie has
been under treatment for varions ailments
ola dyspeptic nature, at a wafer cure in
western New York ; but otherwise, though
over 20 years of age, he was strong and of
active habits. During week or two past,
his always noticeable occentricities have
increased to an alarming extent, and his
wild excitement at the races in Dansville
made his friends send for his son, with
whom he returned TO his home in Indiana.
1t is perfectly natural 10 attribute this re-
suit TO chagrin at his part in the "Katio
King" iiasco, and, although he has seemed
to bear the misfortune fhis mistake with
dignity and philosophic strength, il is like
ly 10 have been an influential determining
cause. Mr.. Owen has been the clearest-
headed and closest reasoning man among
The Spiritualisis, and was too well ground
ed in his faith for this sad error to uproot
it. y man of the purest and Hottest per-
sonal character, and of rare literary ability,
writing as admirable English as any
man in this cOuntry,-it will be most
tragic termination TO the naturalization
comedy of last year, if his fine mind has
lost its balance thereby. According to
latest reports Mr.. owen is steadily and
gently sinking, and his recovery is out of
the question.

That the era of good feeling has begun at
the South we gladly believe; but that an
influential portion of the ex-rebels are still
impenitent and unsubmissive is also un-
deniable. Recently, at no noisy gathering
of slow Whites" but at an assembly of the
most cultivated class, the alumni of the
University of Virginia, Hon. John S. Pres
ton uttered, without the least protest or
rebuke, shamefully reasonable and vim
dictive sentiments which seem to have
been provok od by the fraternzng of the
18th of June. After villfylng the Pilgrim
Fathers to his hearts content, he said that
the civil war "swept from national exist
once the majestic truths of civil and relig-
ious liberty, and set upon their ruins the
mercenary factions of fanaticism, disobe-
dience to the laws of nature, and resistance
to the will of God" "We were not sub
dued when Lee surrendered his starve-
linGs at AppomattoX." He asked the
alumni, "Shall we crawl on our bellies TO
negro and New England temples, and at
the outer gates pray them, not TO give us
back our happy homes, not TO give us
back our sla ughtered children, not TO give
us back our perfect liberty, but to let us
be of them that We, too, may celebrate
their altar with warbled hymns and forced
hallelujahs, and breathe for them ambro-
sial odors, over base and servile onerings?"
"They demanded national life that they
mi ght take the life of our liberty. They
freed the slave that we might become the
slaves OF slaves. The dictate of these mo-
lives was fierce and relentless war pur-
sued TO conquest, confiscation and to sub
lection, and TO the subverslon of the whole
order Of human truth" While such
words, upon such occasions, are receiv-
ed with tacit assent, who can doubt the
wisdom of Gen. Sherman when he urges
the need of an explicit understanding
that the rebellion is really ended?

recommends the trip to Newport this State,
via the Connecticut and PassumpSc rivers
railroad, as a very delightful one. 1.-THE
stay lat Newport will only be limited by
the time at the disposal Of the tourist, for
the hotel is excellent, the attractions of lake
Memphremagog are unsurpassed, and the
drives delightful. From this place 10 Que
bee is pleasant ride, and the quaint old
city is rich in points of interest. The first
duty of the tourist on reaching Quebec is
TO secure a state-room on one of the steam
ers which leave that point for the Saguenay
river. Tho trip down the ST. Lawrence,
up the Saguonay and return to Quebec, oc.
cupies two Gays, and for variety Of seen cry,
ease of transit and solid comfort, it is the
least iati guing and the most enjoyable that
can be conceived. The tourist on reach
ing Quebec can make tour of the White
