In the absence of Governor Ames of Misss-
sippi at the North during the summer, the
Lieutenant Governor, Davis by name, a mulat-
to, has been rendering himself odious by the
number of pardons which he has given to per-
sons convicted of crime. 1t is openly alleged
that money was given and received for the is
suance of the pardons. At grand Democratic
barbecue in Hinds county, Miss. the other day,
5000 people were present, including some 500
negroes. The proceedings concluded with the
trial Of Governor Ames, who was present in ef.
fgy, for treason, murder and othe, high crimes
verdict of guilty being found and sentence of
death imposed, commuted subsequently to BAN
ishment to Massachusetts,.

CROPS IN THE WEST AND NORTH WEST
The Milwaukee Wisconsin of Aug. 81 remarks
that the third week of the harvest in tn,
Northwestern states had just closed, with more
favorable weather than anticipated, aud anoth-
er week of clear weather will suffice to secure
the entire harvest. The harvest is three weeks
later than last year, and the weather, while it
has been favorable for wheat and other small
grains, has been bad for corn In Minnesota,
Wisconsin aud Nebraska, nearly all reports
agree that this will be year of plenty; wheat
has mostly been cut and stacked, the quantity
is above the average aud the quality unexcell-
ed These states will have at least one fourth
more wheat for export than in any previous
year. In Iowa the yield will be, in the main,
up to the average, but there are sections which
have suffered severely from rains and the dep
relations of insects Some counties will fall
below, and Others will exceed the average of
previous years. 10 Kansas, in spite Of the
early invasion of grasshoppers, there has never
been more beautiful harvest than that Of
the present year. In Illinois little spring wheat
is grown, winter wheat and corn constituting
the staple products; the Indications are that
the crop will be fully up TO the average
OF preceding years, if it does not exceed itl
The Times concludes that the prospect is de.
cidedy encouraging, and that there will not
only be wheat enough for the home demand,
but the West will be able to supply Europe
with all the wheat called for and still have
enough to spare. In Indiana. Ohio and South
ern Illinois, the condition of affairs is not SO
bright, but even in these states the damage
done to the crops has been greatly over esti-
mated.
Concerning the harvest in Minnesota, the
Pioneer-Press speaks more in detail The har-
vest is practically completed so far as regards
the cutting and securing of small grain in
shock. while considerable progre g has been
made in stacking and threshing from the field.
If favorable weather continues only few days
longer the most bolntiful crops ever gathered
in the state will he safely harvested The re-
suit of the threshing thus far justifies the
highest estimate yet made of the average yield,
and indicates au average of 10 Or even 20 bush
| els per acre, while the reported yields of bar.
| ley and oats are i'm meIse.
Thee hicago Tribune says that the frosts of
last week will not prove so disastrous to corn
as was at first anticipated. The frost was only
heavy enough to kill corn in a few localities.

Current Notes.

The Richmond Wing, chief among South
ern rag-money journals, makes this signif-
cant remark: 'If Gov. Allen is elected, we
may consider 1t settled that the same curren-
cy plank of the platform on which he stands,
or one similar to it, will be adopted by the
the Democratic party in its National Conven-
ton. If not, tha bullionists will make a
strong stand agains' 1t as an issue in the can
vass for the Presidency. But we are satisfied
that Ohio will come out all right, that the
supporters of the money kings, calling them
selves Democrats, will have to give up their
heresy or 60 over to the enemy, and that the
triumph of the Democracy next year will be
overwhelming to Radicalism all over the
Union"

Gov. TILDEN of New York has undoubtedly
made scare among the canal thieves of that
state, and will probably carry on his war; but
this fact does not prevent curious Republican
from asking why he approved bill passed By
the Legislature, appropriating S55,O0O to pay
one of the very men he had denounced as a
thieving contractor, for work done on one Of the
fraudulent contracts. 1t was probably an over
sight, but what hue and cry the Democratic
papers of Maine would make should its Repub-
lican governor do anything similar to that

The Argus says that the people want po-
litical change, and to make its readers un-
derstand how anxious it is for change, it
prints the word change in larger type each
time. But no type was ever large enough or
black enough to indicate the anxiety of the
argus for such change as will bring its
friends into places to which dinner is attached.
We are inclined to believe that the ArguS
doesn't know what the people desire, as in
1904 II tconstantiy declared That the people
wanted change and would have it. The
argus has been deluded about this desire on
the part of the people for change the past
fifteen years so far as Maine is concerned.

The editor of the Arson Aduocate is in
that furious condition ofmind which reminds
one of bovine in the height of fly time that
has been bereft of his natural means of de-
tense. The only matter which troubles him
is about certificate for paper nen which he
says he didn't give, but which the general
inference is that he did give. He had better
drop the matter, since in his last confession
he admits the purchase of four more paper
men. Don't waste yourself in personal ex-
planation on that rather venerable joke of

A CURIOUS declaration OF principles is 60
ing che rounds Of the Democratic clubs in
Ohio. Ofcourse imitation of currency and
suppression of the ''bond-holding aristocra-
cy" are insisted upon. But these Ohio DEM
ocrats also, demand as laboring class, to
be recognized by the government as want
ing common prosperity" The English in
which the demand is couched certainly can
not be objected to as In-Democratic; but
just imagine the disciples of Tholnas Jeffer-
erson demanding that government must ''do
something for them, and insisting upon a
"paternar' system. 1t is too funny for any
thing,

THE Argus takes two-thirds of a column
to ask Mr.. Oliver B. Dixie if he, as an ex-

urer's Office. We do not understand that

KNOX COUNTY has for some years been
under Democratic management. In the
meantime the county expenses have been
largely increased, and worse than all. the
present Democratic officials have neglected
to publish the annual statement of The finan-
cial condition of the county as required by
law. Doubtless the fellows believe in local
self government and hold that state legis-
iature has no constitutional right to impose
disagreeable duties upon the commissioners
of sovereign county.

was over they attempted to put the treasury
on war-foot'ng. Foiled in their attempt to
destroy the national credit during war by dis
creditng our bonds, opposing our loans, and
sneering at our ability to pay, they renewed
their attempt when the union was saved, by
fayoring great addition to the non-interest-
bearing debt, and so hopelessly depreciating
the currency and forcing the country into
bankruptcy.
Yet this party, which has been engaged in
a conspiracy against the national credit for
fifteen years, has the hardbood TO come be-
fore the people and ask to be entrusted with
the control of the treasury and the admins
tration of the finances. 1t plsads that it is
hard-money party, and appeals to record
from which it asks that the last fifteen years
be stricken out. 1t is doubtful if the Democ-
racy was ever a hard.money party. 1t has
been an anti-bank party, but it has never op-
posed imitation of credit, and has ever sup
ported those loose and vague systems of fl
nancial policy which have made wildcat cCr-
rency possible. 1t certainly is not hard
money party today. In large sections Of the
West it openly favors reputation. In other
sections it clamors for initiation, and the De-
mocracy of Maine are to-day infected with
that heresy.
The Democratic party has no settled fnan.
clal policy. Upon no financial system is it
agreed. During period when our financial
administration required the exercise of the
highest wisdom it had no practical measures
to suggest. 1t contented itself with obstruct-
ing. Its last essay in administration was not
calculated to inspire confidence, for it ran the
nation in debt in time of peace and pros
perity. 1t is preposterors to ask the people
to discard party which has a settled finan
cial policy, which is committed to the re-
sumption of specie payments at specified
time, in favor of party which is committed
to no policy, which is tending fast to infa-
tion aud reputation, which has been en-
gagged for the last fifteen years in con-
spiracy to break down the national credit.
