SENATOR THuRMANs wEAxNEss.

Nobody is getting more severe rAps from
sources whose rapping carries weight than that
eminent Democrat Senator Allen q. Thurman,
Of Ohio. He has pursued most cowsrdly course
in his relations to the Ohio campaign, And the
fact is being pointed out by scornful fingers in
all directions. Mr.. Thurman has held that the
prosperity of the country depended OH an early
return to the coin basis and that every act which
tended to prevent or postpone that return was
public injury. Yet now that his party in Ohio
have adopted resolutions opposed to hard money,
and nominated candidates for the highest offices
in the State upon that platform, MIR. Thurman
joins in advising the people to elect the cand-
dates and endorse the platform
This is new specimen Of an old and melan-
choly sort Of that class Of men who always
consider their psrty's interests first, and who,
however loudly aud strongly the- may preach
theories and principles, never inslst upon them
when their party opposes. II there was any
Mr.. Thurman, and If even he holds his
| principles second to bis party, and in order to
| elect his uncle Governor Of Ohio is ready to
yield measures which he has told us were essen
tial to tho prosperity Of the country, then
where shall we look, within the ranks Of his
party, for any statesman or leader truer in faith
or more steadfast in action?
In tho last campaign Mr.. Thurman came to
this State, At the invitation Of Senator Baysrd,
aud the two Senators, minglng their eloquence
and combining their influence, were understood
to stand on common ground in regard to finap-
cal questions-in fact to be sort Of Costor and
Pollux, twin stars in the skies Of
Democratic craftsmanship. We have re-
marked herein and heretofore the course now
pursued by Mr.. Thurman, and we have noted,
also, the complete silence OF Mr.. Bayxrd, in the
face OF tho Ohio exigency. He might have
| spoken, perhaps, at the Salem Centennial meet
ing, to which he was invited, or he might have
let US hear the jingle OF his hard money princi-
pies in his address at the University Of Virginia,
| or lie might have spoken in dozen other places,
had he desired to raise his warning voice against
| the acts Of the Ohio Democracy. II he believes
in the hard-money doctrines which We are as-
! sured he has heretofore held and expressed, he
must see in the Ohio platform blow leveled
at them and at the welfare If the whole
| country, and il he remains entirely silent
while his political twin joins to give the inaa-
tionists success it must be fair to conclude that
he, too, will serve his party first and his theories
Of public policy aiterward, the same course
which Mr.. Thurman 80 weakly and discreditably
| chooses for himself

CHICAGO, Aug. 2--The heavy rains of the
past week, and the storm Of Saturday night
and Sunday in particular. have seriously dam
aged whoat, oats and potatoes. throughout the
States Of Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois,
and Missouri. The corn crop Of Illinois 10
also threatened. From Southern Minnesota
and Northern Iowa, tho great wheat producing
sections Of the North West, the reports a. re-
CARDS the wheat harvest are more favorable.
Public and private advlces from a counties in
Illinois represent the wheat, oats, and potatoes

ruined. 1t is now feared that the continuance
Of the rain will keep the corn growing, 30 that it
will not ripen before the early frost overtakes it,
In Ohio, rain prevailed during the entire week
throughout the State, and wheat and oats are re-
ported to be a. badly injured a. in Illinois.
From all parts OF Missouri come reports Of dam-
age to whest and oats. On Saturday the rain
began early and continued until Sunday night
late. The railroads entering Kansas City are all

FRITZ REUTER-.

We note with particular satisfaction that the
Philadelphia Press Ia about to make the
American public better acquainted with one OF
the very best OF modern novelists, yet who is
at the same time practically unknown to readers
in this country. The reference Is to Fritz
Reuter-, 3 name that ought 10 be, and before
long surely will be, as familiar to all lovers Of
true humor as are those which will readily re-
cur to all readers. No modern humorist who
can be mentioned has a better claim to that
title than lReuter, and whatsoever thinks this
too high praise has his opportunity OF confuting
us by turning TO the pages Of the author. II
We can induce him to do that we will be salts
lied, even il he does not coincide with the
opinion here expressed. Opportunities for
veriication are not numerous, but the Press
will soon give at least one in the translation of
oct de Franzosentio," to be styled in English
"ln the Year 13"-which is said to DO one OF
Reuters best books. At present this author
is almost entirely known in America by "His
Little Serene Highness," published a few years
since in The Living Age.
1t is hard to designate Reuters field with ex-
actness. We have called him novelist for want
OF better word yet his books are not novels
in the accepted sense. Still less are they ro-
mAnces. They deal with homely people and
homely affairs, yet are very often whimsical to
the verge Of extravaganza. While not strictly
either novels, romances or burlesques, they par
take Of the natures OF all these forms Of compo.
stion. Reuter- is, especially, a master of ridi-
Guile and bddindge. He has all the lightness
OF touch Of the best French writer's in these re.
spects, mingled with true German kindness

The State Centennial Commissioners have had
