The official statement, by the Com
missioner Of statistics, Of the wheat,
corn and oats crop for 1875 is received.
It gives the bushels of wheat saved as
$685., 1886, and allows about two mill
ions for loss by grasshoppers, making
the entire crop 100000 bushels.
Of this Goodhue county is credited with
3,Ol9, 1913, or one-tenth Of the quantity.
The barley crop is 1910. 45l, or 595, COG
more, the oats l3,64l,32S or 1852
more, and the corn 7, l65, 1858 or sc, 357
less than in 1874. The yield of corn
in Goodhue is 350,020, oats l,l34,024.
The acreage of wheat in 1876 is $780,
42l, being 1920 acres more than in
1875, and of this increased acreage
Goodhue county furnishes 1900 acres
about one-twelfth. The commission
er's estimate places the crop this year
at Is, 8l3,578 bushels, about half of the
yield of 1875, and allows eight bushels
per acre average.
WHILE he was in this city attending
the recent congressional convention, we
had conversation with Hon. J. s. G..
Homer on the subject of grasshoppers.

SOIlTlI CAROLINA.

The terrible condition of this unfortunate
State is not generally understood at the
North. A few figures will!show how the pee
pie there are plundered by the carpet bag
gers and their negro allies. The property
valuation in 1860 amounted to 490,000,00O; ;
in 1870 it was Sl7O,00O,0O0, decline of G7
per cent. The tax levy amounted in 1860 to
100000; in 1868, to S2,700,0O0 an increase
of nearly 800 per cent. The legislative ex'
penses amounted in 1860 to $40, 900; in 1872
to s29l000, an increase of nearly 700 per
cent. ,.-- .-
Is it any wonder in view of this wholesale
robbery that the people of South Carolina
protest against the continuance in power OF
their oppressors One hundred and odd
years ago the people Of this country rose
against the rule of King George for taxes
far less onCrous than those now imposed on
South Carolinians Are we TO suppose the
present inhabitants of the State are degener-
ate sons of noble fathers, and that they will
submit without murmur to such outrageous
robbery?

Important TO Centennial Visitors.

Many of our readers who yet intend to
visit Philadelphia will wish to do so at the
least possible cost and trouble. They will
not wish to pay hotel rates when they can
obtain good accommodations at private and
boarding houses at one-third hotel rates
During September and October the crowds
will be so la:ge that they cannot be accomo-
dated at hotels, and to avoid trouble on their
arrival all should know where they are going
to stop, before leaving home. You can OBJ
tain good accommodations by the week for
from 50 to SO, or by the day from 81 to So
TO do this you must write to j. Weaver &
Co., 1913 Market street, Philadelphia, and
they will, on receipt of 81, to pay them for
their trouble and expense, send you list
of one hundred boarding houses, giving the
prices charged by the day or week. You
can then select place for yourself, and
make arrangements direct with the parties
you wish to stop with. In this way you can
save from $40 to S25. Should you wish to
stop at hotel they will MAKE all neccessa-
ry arrangements for you and charge you but

Judge Il, Il. lloar is to run rs an inde.
pendent candidate against Ben Butler in the
Seventh Massach usetts Congressional Dis
trict. If this movement on the part OF the
enemies of Butler results in the election Of
Mr.. Tarbox, the Democratic nominee, the
country will owe many thanks to Judge
IIo.r. As between Hoar and Butler, there
is but little to choose; both are rampant
Radicals and admirers of Grantism with its
attendant corruptions. OF the two, we are
not certain whether we don't prefer Butler.
lie is not whit more intolerant than Hoar,
besides which he is witty and amusing and
Hoar is neither one nor the other. Butler,
too, is the fittest exponent of the principles
of Massachusetts, Republicans. With the
present complexion of the House Butler
could not do much harm and he would give
us some spicy speeches.

REruBLICAN ORArORY.

Alta recent meeting of the "IIayes &
wheeler, club in Bloomsburg, II. r. Smith,
Esq, eAtertained tho audience with the fol
lowing beautiful and pathetic language
"rhe Pope and tho Devil are chained TO-
getker. After the November election we
will have another link in the chain, and then
the Pope, the Devil and the Democratic
party will be chained together" There is
Bit OF valuable information in the above
Sacred history tells us that the Devil useu
10 be IN the habit of "going about like
roaring lion, seeking whon he may devour,'
bat now, thanks to Bro Smith, the siuislei
gentleman is secured. lie has gone out o.
the roarng lion business, aud is anchored
fast to the Pope. What great relief it mus
hafe been to the speaker when he made the
discovery that his satanic majestyis no long
er at large This brilliant orator seems t.
be laboring under the impression that the
Pope-is candidate for the Presidency. This
maybe true, but we had not heard of his
nomination. such nonsense as the above il
a fair sample of the kind Of argument that Is
seing used by Republican speakers all oveg
the country. In their desperation they re-
sort not only to falsehood, but to absolutely
idiotic statements. Beckley, in his struggle
10 hold ON to the postoilice, informed an au.
dence in Berwick recently that il the Dem
ocratic party succeed this fall there will be
another war. That means tn at the army OF
POO, 900 office holders will fight before they
will give up their hold on the peoples mon.
ey. Beckley will undoubtedly be one of the
leaders We have q faint recollection of his
bravery. lie once assisted in an attempt to
hang feeble old man in the early days oil
the rebellion, for which he was indicted and
convicted. Another specimen of the oratory
of much abler speaker was given in the
address of Mr.. Brosius in the Opera House
last week. He did not threaten lcsr but
made this most pathetic appeal "We can
Stand almost any calamity that divine Prov
idence may see fit to send upon us. We cen
survive a repetition of the plaques of Egypt
but don't, don't, turn us out of Office" And
all this is the kind of stuff that the Republi
can party expect to win on. They do not
hesitate TO falsify they are not ashamed to
beg fora continuance of their hold on the
treasury, and they insult the intelligence of
the American people by the arguments with
which they are attempting to carry the No
veniber election. But the insult will be in
dgnanty flung in their faces when the ma
tion shall file its decision on the 7th of
next month.

Go,ypys CHARGES PROVEN.

When Mr.. Goweu,in his celebrated speech
at The Munley trial, charged that State
officials high in power had bargaincd for and
actually bought the Molio Mcguire vote,
those who knew him best felt assured that
in due time the proof would be furnished,
notwithstanding the emphatic denial of Gov
Hartranft and Secretary Quay. 1t came out
Trough the trial of Yellow Jack Donahoe
Vast week for the murder of Morgan Powell
The witness was John j. Sattery, leadinr
"Mollie," who is fully corioborated.
Pending the campaign Inst year Slattcry
and John Kehoe, county delegate Of Schuyl-
kill county, met General J, X. Sigfried, q
prominent Republican politician, holding the
lucrative appointment of boiler Inspector
Of this county, AMI James Ryon, ex-Judgc
of the Court of Common Pleas ofthis county
who was defeated for reelection 10y Judge
Pershing, and they bargained with kehoe
and Siattry to pay them one thousand dol
lars apiece for procuring the votes of the
Mollie Maguires for liartranIt. After the
bargain was concluded Sigiried said he
would have to go to Harrisburg to get the
money, aud if he succeeded he would com
municate with kehVe and Slattery by cy-
pher telegram agreed upon. The day follow
ing Slattery received dispatch from Sig
fried, which meant that the money had been
raised and that Siattery and kehoe should
cone TO Sigiried's house in Pottsville the
next day. They came, and there, in the
presence of Judge Ryon and d. G. Hening,
Esq prominent Republican aud law
yer Sigfried paid over to Slattery and
Kehoe thousand dollars apiece. At
the same time an additional stipulation was
made that if one-half of the Republican
county ticket was elected an additional
thousand dollars should be paid to Kehoe
and Slattery.
Slattery further testified that John NJ.
] EDelany, Governor Hartranft's messenger in
the Executive Department, carried fund
of money to Luzerne county for the purpose
OF securing the Mollies' vote of that county
for Hartranft, and that much larger fund
was sent to Pittsburg, the headquarters of
the A. o. II. in Pennsylvania, to be used for
the same purpose. A reference to the re-
turns from the localities named would seem
to corroberate Slattery's testimony. Promi-
nent Republicans promised to use their in
iluence with Gov. Hartranft for that purpose
after the election, and Kehoc and Slattery
used this promise with the individual men,
a - -
those who sympathized with them to induce
them to vote for Hartranft. AS matter of
fact, shortly after the election the prison of
Schuylkill county was emptied of all the
Mollie convicts by means of pardons.
Gen. Sigfpied and Mr.. Dening admit hav-
ing paid the money.
In the face of these facts how can any de.
cent Republican longer act with party that
deliberately buys up Il band of cut-throats.

BADLY SCARED.

Col. Henry NJ, Hoyt, rre chairman of the
Pennsylvania Republican State Committee
has issued frantic call to arms, which al
though a somewhat blood-curdling docu-
ment is nevertheless mighty pretty reading.
The Colonel like good Republican claims
a victory for his party in all the states which
have held elections this Fall, and even de-
rives comfort, of rather an uncomfortable
kind, from Indiana. We would not advise
persons with weak nerves to read Col. Hoyt's
manifesto, as the picture which he draws of
the horrors that will follow Democratic
victory in November is enough to appal the
stoutest heart. The proclamation deals
largely in blood, gore, shst-guns and clubs
and the poor negro is held up in all imag-
nable forms of torture. Taking it all togeth'
er we are of the opinion that Col. Hoyt is
at present the worst scared man in the State.
His party owes him II large debt of graft
tude for his strenuous efforts to fire the Re.
publican hearts and if they don't "fre," it
is certainly not his fault If he only lived
in Indiana, and could take John w. Forney
with him, what campaign they could col :
duct with Morton as leader. All
1t is little odd that men who, according
to popular report, are possessed OF ordinary
common sense sh ould feel it wise thing to
foist such rubbish on the people as is con-
tanned in Col. Hoyt's manifesto, and espec-
tally so in the face of the unmistakablc re-
pudiation OF the stuff in the great States OF
Ohio and Indiana. However, there is a
scriptural adage relative to the braying of a
certain kind of human being in mortar
aud the results thereof, which we presume
still holds good in this nineteenth century.

Gov. Tilden has written letter to Hon.
Abrah S. Hewitt, in which, after citing the
fourteenth amendment to the Constitution,
he uses the following vigorous language:
Should be elected President, the provis-
ions of the fourteeath amendment will, so
far as depends on me, be maintained, exc
cuted and enforced in perfect and absolute
good faith. Ne rebel debt will be assumed
or paid. No claim for the loss or emancipa
tion of any slave will be allowed. No claim
forany loss or damage incurred by disloyal
persons, arising from the late war, whether
covered by the fourteenth amendment or
not, will be recognized or paid. The cotton
tax will not be refunded. shall deem it
my duty to veto every bill providing for the
assumption or payment of any debts, losses,
damages, claims, or for the reiunding of any
such tax.
This efectaally disposes Of the Republican
twaddle concerning the payment of South
ern' claims in the event of Democratic sue
cess this fall.

Here is fact not generally known An
act OF the Legislature of Pennsylvania,
passed June 10, 1885, says "The father
and grandfather, and tho mother and grand
mother, and the children and grandchildren,
of every poor person nnable to work, shall
at their.own charge being of sufficient ability
relieve and ma;rtain such poor person at
such rate as the Quarter Sessions of the
county where such poor persons reside shall
order and direct" This, it will be seen,
makes children and grandchildren response
BILE for the support of their parents and
grandparents, if the latter are unable to
maintain themselves while it also makes
parents and grandparents liable to the sup
port of their children and grandchildren, in
case the latter are destitute and unable to
work for living

There is a larger Confederate force under

Union. men killed in the single State of
Mississippi since the close of the war, than
were killed in any three battles of the re-
bel,ion.-Auncy L,miaary.
Evidently our neigbbor is endeavoring to
rival the Republican in mendacity. In the
three battles of the rebellion, Gettysburg,
Wilderness and Spottsylvania there were
1884 Union mtn killed. The Lamiaayy
with all its efIulgence, cannot count thirty
