KEW YORK SAFE.

Al accounts concur in the opinion that
the Republican party Of New York is
united As it has not been for years, and that
the prospects of victory are unusually en-
couraging. The candidates are strong men
with positive qualities. Besides, efforts are
everywhere being made to nominate good
men for the Legislature, with an expressed
determination TO support heartily every
work Of genuine reform. The nomination
OF Seward for Secretary Of State and Spin
ner for Controller is an earnest Of this good
intention. Moreover, the Republicans have
these further advantages: The canal thieves,
so far as detected, are nearly all Democrats
the men who robbed the peo-
pie OF New York City are Democrats, and
many of the leading Tammanyites who
are now "Tilden reformers," stood with
Tweed, who is The most gigantic political
thief in the world. Then, too, ex-Sheriff
O'Brien, who gave the New York Times the
facts that crushed Tweed and his ring, is
ANTI ammany and antiTilden. The peo-
pie, therefore, will very naturally be likely
to conclude that while" the hair OF the dog
may be good for the bite" the safest plan
will be to kill the dog, especially as the
best men are now on top in the Republican
party in the Empire State. East and
West alike, the prospects OF the party are
steadily growing brighter and brighter.

sHEEP RAISING IN KANSAS.

The TINES has for many months en-.
deavored 10 impress upon the farmers Of
this State the advantages OF sheep culture
in Kansas. We believe that it will vet be
an important addition to our stcck-raising
interests, and We are pleased TO see the sub
ject discussed. Prof. Shelton, in the last
number of the Manhattan IadusriaIls con-
tributes the following interesting article:
That Kansas is destined, at no distant
day TO take rank among the great wool
producing States, no one at all familiar
with the subject viii for moment doubt.
There are many reasons for this belief: our
dry atmosphere is peculiarly adapted to
sheep, and will prove an absolute specific
for some OF their most Troublesome COM
plants, notably, foot-rot; our grasses are
abundant and nutritious, and all over the
Stale may be found those immense tracts of
land called divides" which from various
causes are lily adapted 10 general agricul-
ture, but which as "sheep-runs" are perfec-
ton itself. We nave never seen an adyan-
Iage claimed for Colorado as sheep-rais-
ing State that may not be emphasized for
Kansas. VIGOROUSLY an acre OF grass
land in Kansas will yield more feed than
three Colorado acres.
There Is No department OF agriculture
thai viii give better and swifter returns
than wool growing, and nowhere in agri-
culture are such complete failures record
cd. The cause of this anamoly is not far
to seek. Sheep require constant care and
attention, and this matter alone makes all
the difference between success and failure.
If sheep are tended with care, their wants
constantly studied and supplied by those
interested in them, they will pay most lib
orally three times each year, lambs, wool
and mutton. If on the other hand they
are turned out on the range "to shift for
themselves" dogs, wolves, coyotes and our
swift Kansas storms will have soon done
their work. We have given this matter of
wool growing good deal of careful atten-
ton both in Colorado and Kansas, and are

TIE FALL RIVER RIOTS.

Sooner or later strikes end in bloodshed.
The bassr passions are given free rein, and
driven on by real or imaginary ills and in
justices, the laborer makes war against any
or all who may not acccde at once 10 his
oitcntimcs imperiouS demands. 4 mob is
al aggregation Of towards. In collective
capacity il does deeds OF violence that none
Of the COMPONENT individuals would dare TO
attempt. The spectacle presented by tie
Fall River mill operatives is deplorable in
the extreme, and must inevitably ALLEVIATE
from them and their cause whatever of SYM
patty was accorded them by generous
public. They may have been too badly
treated BY the mill capitalists, but were not
50 oppressed as to justify them to riot
blcod-hed and cruelty. The pilh of their
grievances Is that the associated capital Of
the miiis totally Ignores them in adjusting
It's relations with unassociated labor. The
agitation in the city of spindles has pre-
vailed Tor eight weeks and the elimination
is attended with unhappy results. On Mon
day the mill in the eastern part OF the city
started up, and those who would sign the
following agreement went 10 work:
First-That we will not, while in the
employ oi said corporation, belong to or he
influenced by the action OF any association
or combination whose members are subject
10 the will of the majority in the matter of
wages, or any other subject connected with
the right oi any person 10 work Tor whom
and al sgCh rates rs they may see iit.
Sec0nd-That should we wish 10 leave
the employ OF said corporation we viii give
notice III writing TO our oveTseers, and viii
continue 10 work ten DAYS after said notice,
il being Understood that the notices of not
more than ono-eighth Of any one class of OPP
eratIycs viii be accepted within one week.
or ii less than eight persons in any one class
not more than one notice from such class:
and should We leave the mill without Civ
ing and working the term of said notice,
we will forfeit all money that NAV be due
Us from said corporation for labor previous
ly performed.
Ihird-Any breach OF the provisions of
this agreement, or the printed regulations
posted In mills shall be considered miscon-
duct on the part OF the subscribers hereto,
and shall he sufficient cause for summary
discharge from the employment of said cor
poration, without notice or payment of
wages, in line of notice.
Not all the operatives would sign this
paper, and those who dill brought upon
their heads the wrath OF those who refused |
Here the opposition operatives were clear
ly in the wrong. They were abridging the |
liberty of their own party members, which |
was the only excuse they ever offered for
their own INSTRUMENTATION to the employers.
As those who had decided to 60 to work
entered the yards they were hooted and
Kissed by those who stood outside, and who |
were bent on starvation rather than "sign
away their liberty In the evening the |
riots began.

a GENTLE REMINDER.

We have nothing new yei az to the Sue
cession in the Interior Department. The
Democratic and opposition press, seeing the
Sscretary's back turned, have reopened
their mud batteries on him and the Presi-
dent.
Suppose they reflect little on the char
acter Of the last Cabinet a Democratic Pres
ident ever had the infamy of appointing.
Tie last Democratic Secretary Of the Into
rior was Mr.. Jacob Thompson. The Ro-
chester Erpncs saws that one day in Decem-
Der, 1860, lie left his department at Wash
ington to visit North Carolina in the char
ac;cr OF a Secession Commissioner, and
while he was gone 10 do the work Of a
traitor, defalcation OF about $4,000
was discovered in his Department.
Though 4 disloyal man, he was not,
however. the thief The defalcation had
really been permitted through the con-
nivaHcc Of another Democratic Cabinet Oh
fccr, John 3. Floyd, Secretary of War.
This Dcnocatic Secretary was indicted by
Grand Jury for malfeasance in Office and
for conspiracy TO defraud the Government,
but he indicated his honor such as il was
by taking up arms against the Union.
Another Democratic Cabinet officer was
Mr.. Howell Cobb, Secretary of the Treasu-
ry,who also retired from the councils Of
the last Democratic President to join the
councils OF the rebels who were plotting
the destruction of the nation.
1t is not necessary TO inquire further into
the record OF the Democracy while the rec
ord of the national government Since the
last Democratic Secretary OF WARMTH
the exception Of the successor of Floyd,
WHO served but a brief period-left
Washington as a rebel and under an in
dictment for conspiracy and fraud, and
since the last Democratic Secretaries of the
Interior and of the Treasury both abandon
ed their posts TO plot treason and break up
the Union, and still further since the last
Democratic Vice President did the same
thing. it does not lie in the mouths OF Demo-
Gratis to claim that the country should trust
them with the government, even should it
I've shown that Mr. Delano has not managed
his Department as honestly as he should.
We have had no JEFF. Davis or John Il.
Floyds in our Republican Cabinets yet,
and never viii have, but it is not unlikely
that JEFF Davis would resume his old place
and influence in Washington should the
Democratic party unfortunately return to
power

EX-SENATOR WINTER.

By the following note, received yester-
day, it will be seen that Hon. Jacob Win
ter is not a candidate for Governor. We
are sorry for THE, for we believe he would
be elected by large majority:
EpIroR TINES lin an editorial of THE
DAILY TINES, OF Thursday, the S0th inst,
l noticed complimentary notice of ex-Sen-
ator Winter, in connection with the Guber-
material chair of Kansas. Now, while ex-
Senator Winter endeared himself to all
lovers of freedom, justice, equity and right.
while in the Senate OF our State, and com,
manded the respect of all good citizens, as
being statesman of ability and integrity.
still it does appear to me that to bring out
his name now as a candidate for the Office
of Governor, or any other Office, only tends
to weaken his claim on the people of this
State for any position to which the people
desire to place him. Ex-senator Winter
is not an aspirant to any Office in the State,
as well know, but when the proper time
comes the people of the State will bring
out his name Tor the Office they wish him
to FL. One Of his special friends.

GOOD TRADE.

The New York Bulletin gathers from Its
exchanges evidences of fair trade at the
West, Northwest and South. Boston runs
little behind expectation, while Chicago
is ahead Of it, and ST. Louis next to Chica-
go in the demand for goods. The Bulletin
observes: "The outlook is encouraging.
The large jobbing houses in many cases are
busily employed in the distributions of as
sorted stocks to the far interior, and the
seasonable weather affords indications of a
vigorous general trade ahead. Many re-
sponsible firms report larger amount of
sales during the current month thus far,
and also for the two previous months, than
for the corresponding period of last year.
This, as regards the dry goods trade. Other
branches of business, as shown from actual
inquiry among them the other day, are,
with here and there an exception, doing
well; not making much money, but not
going as;ern neither are they looking dis
trustfully TO the future

DAMAGED.

About one-third of the wheat grown in
the United States is produced in the three
states of Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin,
and this one-third is in round numbers a
hundred million bushels. The heavy rains
have damaged the crop somewhat in those
States this year. The St. Paul Dispatch
says that the most trustworthy infor-
nation that it has been able to obtain it
would seem that in Minnesota five per
cent. of the entire production for the year
has been totally destroyed, while the dam
aged condition of large proportion of the
crops is equivalent to further loss of
about ten per cent. The continued rains
have delayed the operations of the farmers,
and the crop of that State will not reach
the market until several weeks later than
usual

Plant Trees.

The time for Fall planting is near at
hand, and it is to discharge that semi-an-
nual duty OF Kansas editors-that we call
attention to the importance, the value, the
necessity of tree-plantins. OF course these
semi-annual lectures will not do all the
good they ought to, for there are some
worthless, shiftless, lazy farmers who would
not plant TIE about their homes or on
their farms i; they continue to live hun
dred years. sat We are glad to know that
such farmers are the exception and not the
rule in Kansas. For several years past our
farmers have been paying more and more
attention to tree-planting, and the number
of groves upon our prairies and rows Of
trees along the road-sides and around the
fields is rapidly increasing.-Achison Cham

CALIFORNIA.

SAN FRANCIsCo, October BY half past
nine this morning, crowds began tic gather
in the vicinity OF the Bank of California.
Inside every preparation was made Tor
the opening. The president and members
of the syndicate were on hand with smiling
faces, and looking as though the bank nae
been lifted from their shoulders. The
president said that re bank was fully pre-
pared to pay demand On presentation, ex
cept as had been provided Tor or otherwise,
and that there was no doubt of thei: a1ii.-
ty to 90 on with business without further
difficulty by ten O'CLOCK. The street and
sidewalks were jammed with people. At
the appointed hour the doors swung open,
amid the cheers Of the crowd which at once
made 4 rush, blocking the space outside
the counters. Evidently a far larger pro-
portion Of those preser q, were there as look
ers-OD, though the services of the tellers
were at once called iniD reqUisition. The
counters were lined with tho presenting
checks, and it was expected that large de-
mands would be made upon the bank, not
from want Of confden. e, but simply from
need OF coin, which has been 40 long locked
up. At present. the crowds are surging in
and out OF the building, flags are mast
headed on California street, and salutes are
being fired from Meigg's wharf.
Coin il now flowing both ways at the
Bank Of Califo ia, la se amounts being
deposited. 1t is thought that the: deposits
during the day will equal, or, perhaps, ex-
coed the payments. The best feeling pre-
walls.
The Bank Of CALIFORNIA remained open
until one o'clock, p. M, an hour later than
customary on Saturdays During three
hours the amount deposited exceeded the
checks paid out about S.50,000. Conf
derce seems completely established. Con
CALCULATIONS are hearty on all sides over
the successful result OF the efforts to raise
up and rehabitate the broken bank. With
management it is thought the
bank will have more friends than ever.
A dispatch from San Diego says that
serious trouble is feared with the Pala In
dams in the mountains in the northeastern
part of that country. They have recently
been elected from the lands on the Temeca-
la, which they had long occupied, and to
which they are entitled according 10
all evidence receiN ID. To justice they make
refusals. They number between 800 and
400 able-bodied men, and, owing to their
locality, eighty miles inland) and the
sparseness Of the white settlements, grave
difficulty seems imminent. Gov. Facheco
and Gen. Schofeld have been telegraphed
for arms and troops. There is great appre-
hension felt in San Diego.

COOPERATION.

Many people believe that the grange is a
useless organization, and that the sooner II
is abandoned the better it will be for the
farmers. But it appears that much good has
already been accomplished by corporation
among the farmers who are members OF the
grange. The Lawrence Journal is informed
that the State Grange has made arrange,
ments for the shipment from Kansas, this
year, On grange account, OF two million
bushels of wheat The larger portion Of
that amount will be shipped from Wichita
1t is claimed that by this arrangement the
farmers embraced in the combination are
enabled to realize some ten cents and ovel
per bushel, more than to sell TO wheat
buyers.
The mode OF procedure is this: The
grange has an elevator at Wichita and an
agent for the management OF the business
The agent keeps thorough statistics, fur
nished by the members of the grange
of all the wheat for sale in that re-
gion, with the various grades. He
is in correspondence with heavy
dealers in the East, and upon securing an
order from them, he Immediately notifies
those members having wheat ready for de,
livery, and how much he wants. This they
bring at once to the elevator where it is
graded, and shipped at special rates which
he is able to get by reason OF the large
quantities he has to ship. He gives ware
house receipts 10 the farmers for theil
wheat, and on the receipt of his returns
from his Eastern correspondent, the farmer
gets his cash.
The Journal further SAYS that it is the de-
sign OF this organization TO handle cattle in
the same manner.
A still further saving is affected by pur
chasing sugar, molasses, &c. from New Or
leans, through the same channel, making a
two-foid saving.

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.

Little Girl Drops into Fifty Foot Well
and Is Taken Out but Little injured.
A few days since, says the St. Joe Herald,
We learn from farmer in from Nodaway
county, little daughter of Mrs. Scott, liv-
ing in his neighborhood, underwent one Of
the most miraculous escapes on record.
Just how this wonderful event came about
is not known, as the girl cannot remember
anything definite about it. A neighbor
who was near by, saw her fall into the well,
a distance of fifty-three feet. He rushed
to her assistance, and, strange to relate, she
was able to cling to the lowered bucket and
rope until she was drawn out. She receiv-
ed three or four cuts on the head, none of
which are dangerous.

Didn't Say.

A Ninth Avenue boy stopped catching
flies all at once yesterday and turned to his
mother and inquired:
Ma, amt Mrs. Parsons q nice woman
though ?"
II guess so-whyw she answered.
Because, when was over there this
morning she put her hand on my head, like
this, and she almost cried - she said !:
Poor, dear boy I! how could your father ev-
er think of marrying that sharp-nosed, vim
esar6ed old maid for a second wifepS
She took Henry into the shed, and while
she held fast to his ear sLe informed him
that it would be nothing short of death if
he ever entered Mrs. Parsons house again.
