rbe soutb.,de Response.

There will be considerable curiosity
among our people to see how the kind
ly feeling which found expression at
our Centennial is met by the best rep
resentatives OF the South. This, of
course, was not the object of the prof
Tered good will on our part. We
have simply expressed the amicable
disposition which has been in our
hearts ever since the war closed, but
which until lately has not found
favorable time for avowal-beinp oc-
cupied. as we have generally been,
with the necessary and often trying
duties Of reconstruction. And even
now we do not expect or want the
Southern people to repress or disguise
their own honest feelings out of any
complimentary regard to the fraternal
demonstrations at the late festival in
this city or to anything else of the
kind at the North. The first condi-
ton of complete reconciliation ia
frankness and a good understanding,
and after that comes that harmony of
feeling and purposes-by no means an
agreement of opinions-which Is COM
patible with common citizenship.
In ascertaining this drift of South
ern sentiment we are prepared to over
look a certain proportion of impractic-
able and cratic spirits. Every Sec
ton has such. and the peculiar expe-
rience of the South during the fifteen
or twenty years past has given it an
unusual number of them-men who
can never. get over the madness of Sc
cession and will not try TO adapt them
selves to the restored Union. Of this
kind is Semmes. who declares that he
shall agitate for the repeal of the
Iout'es h1ack l;nes drawn a around e as
a seal of Misrepresentation" Another
is Robert Toombs, who says he is not
going to shake hands with those who
dug the chasm which engulfs the prin-
ciples of rs, and filed it with the
bloody corpses of the brave and true.
Another still, we fear, is Ben Hill,
who is looked upon by many as likely

The San Francisco Bulletin Of
the 23d ultimo publishes fall re
ports of the grain harvest of Cal
ifornia, obtained in answer to its
letters of inquiry sent to reliable
correspondents throughout the
state. From these It is shown that
the total wheat crop will amount
Ii, OOp, OOOcenta1s in round numbers
from M acreage of 2,125.720, with
a surplus of s, 500, 900 centals. from
which deduct $4,000 centals for
San Francisco consumption, leav-
ing 1922, 900 centals for export.
The wheat raised on summer fal~
lowed land is much better than
winter fallowed, and the deficit
would have been much greater but
for this fact and a greater average.
The strong winds in northern
counties have swelled out the wheat
somewhat, while the rains have in :
jured other sections, but neither of
these causes have been general
enough to affect the total very
much. The barley crop, on the
whole, is good. There has been a
greater increase in the acreage I'M
der wheat. The yield of barley
last year was so large and the
price SO high, as compared with
that of wheat, that farmers gener-
ally were encouraged to change the
crop and old wheat lands to barley
In many districts where the in
crease in the acreage under wheat
has been very slight at best, tine
area, planted with barley, on the
contrary, has been greatly extends
ed. The total average was 543, 500;
yield in centals, 6,1OO,O 900; surplus,
2,76S, 900: from which deduct $50,
900 centals for San Francisco con-
sumption, leaving 100000 GEN.
