THE Toledo Blade of the 18th pub
lisbes very comprehensive report of the
crops from over two hundred farmers in
Ohio, Michigan, Indiana and Illinois,
which indicate that the prospects for
wheat in the principal wheat producing
regions of these States are unusually
good. In Southern and Central Michi
gan the farmers are sanguine of having
better crops than for years. The same
is true of the great wheat fields of West
ern and Northern Illinois and Northern
Missouri. In the rich new lands of
Northwestern Ohio the prospect is not
so good. A great deal of wheat has been
winter-kilIed, and many fields have been
plowed up, and a half-crop is all that
the farmers can hope for. There will be
a large quantity of spring wheat south
this year, and the acreage planted in
corn and oats will probably be greater
than ever. There is II disposition among
Michigan farmers to SOW large quanti-
ties of oats. Fruit is everywhere re-
ported as looking unusually WELL Each
locality seems to hope for even a moder-
ate crop of peaches. The wet weather
retarded the spring plowing, but in
many localities farmers took advantage
of the mild weather during the winter to
do good deal OF breaking up in their
fields.

OHIO REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

First-The Republicans of Ohio renew
their allegiance to the Republican party
| of the United States, and re-affirin its
| principles OF free government, as declar-
ed and defended by the grand men of
1776, and endeared to the people of our
time by the sacrifices of war and the
blessings of an assured union of the
States, based upon universal liberty.
Second-The citizens of the several
States of the Union are also citizens of
the nation, and are equal under the con-
stitution and laws il ali the rights of
citizenship, and are entitled to full and
equal protection in their exercise.
Third-We favor an honest and econo-
mical administration of the Government
and favor retrenchment and reform in
the public service. Personal integrity
and fidelity should be required of all
officials ani when found to be dishonest
and corrupt they should be prosecuted
and punished, and we cordially COM
meEd the vigorous prosecution of pub
lie offenders by the present national
administration.
Fourth-The national credit and hon
or must be sacredly maintained.
Fifth-We recognize gold as the true
standard of value and the only steady
and safe basis for circulating medium.

should be steadily pursued, which with
out unnecessary injury to business or
trade will ultimately equalize the value
of The coin and paper dollar.
Sixth-We favor a tariff for revenue

industry.
Seventh-We stand by the system of
free common schools supported 10y gen.
eraI taxation; there must be no division

COMMISSIONER of Internal Revenue
Pratt in response to letter says that if
the same power to administer oaths, ex-
anime books and papers, and compel the
giving of testimony, be conferred upon
agents, to be exercised under the super
vision of the Commissioner, the Office of
Supervisor of Internal Revenue may be
abolished without loss to the service and
with considerable saving to the Treas
ury. He recommends that it be done,
and says that the salaries and expenses
of the ten Supervisors, for the last fiscal
year, have averaged S13, ,775 each.

THE Dayton Journal says that every
Presidential candidate in the field has
been assailed excepting HAYEs-whose
record and reputation are invulDerable-" +"
Gen. HAYES record as statesman and
a soldier is not only unassailed, but bet
ter yet, it is unassailable. The Repub-
licans of Ohio may well be proud of such
a candidate.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE PRESI.
nFNCy

Washington Dispatch (April lG) ". Y. Times-l
As the canvass for the Presidency
GROWS more earnest il is becoming quite
common for the friends of candidates to
try to gain some advantage for their
favoritt by claiming that he is preferred
by President Grant, or that the Admin
istration will exert its influence in his
behalf. The most persistent story OF
this kind has been that the President is
in favor of the nomination of Senator
Conkling, and that the power of the Ad-
ministration will be used to further his
ambition. Now there is not a word of
truth in any of these statements that the
President is for any one against Mr..
Morton. or any other recognized Repub-
lican who may seek the nomination.
The Presidents position is correctly
stated by saying that between candidates
recognized as Republicans he will remain
entirely neutral, using neither his per-
sonal influence nor the patronage of the
Government for the assistance or against
the success of any one of them. This
is fact which can not be successfully
disputed in regard to the past, and there
is the best reason to believe that the pur-
pose which has heretofore guided will
continue to the end of the canvass.
THE impeachment trial opened very
tamely. Ex- Secretary Belknap appear
ed at the bar of the Senate, and his
counsel entered plea against the ju-
risdiction of the court on the grounds
which Mr.. Brooks Adams has already
ably presented in our columns. The
managers asked for time, and an ad-
jounment for forty eight hours was or
dered. These unimpressive proceedings
were in striking contrast with the MEM
orable scenes with which the impeach-
ment OF President johnson opened in
1S6S.-N. Y Tribune.

THE House of Representatives clearly
intends to hold Kilbourn. the contuma-
cious real estate witness, and defy all
civil processes from the courts. We do
not observe that any one objects to this,
for it is obvious that Kilbourn is contu-
macious, and deserves to be punished.
But suppose that this were 1864 or 1865.
and Kilbourn was a copperhead, and
the Congressional majority Republican
instead of Democratic. Suppose, then,
a civil court had issued writ for the
possession of Kilbourn's body, and the
House had refused to give him up. How
gaily we should see the World and the
Enquirer, the Sun. the little Plain Dealer
and Jim Benefits Herald saving the
air and shouting over tie ii-oi.s re.iis ont
rage perpetrated by Congress upon tie
great and noble writ of habeas corpusi
Who has forgotten the eloquent sermons
that were preached to Congress by some
of these organs for smaller causes than
the detention of Kilbourn! 1t is all
right gentlemen; do your worst on Xii
bourn; he is toueh skinned and philo-
sopbical, but remember that his case
may be precedent for a Republican
Congress winter after next Cleceld1id
Leader.

THE Springfield Republic has the fol-

Republican voters of this Congressional
District: mo mere personal matter
should cause the people of the Tenth
district to throw over the Hon. Charles
Forter and deprive the country of his
services as a member Of Congress A
Republican success next fall would not
be quite complete. if Mr.. Foster was not
returned to the House of Representa-
tives." Mr. Foster has gained nation
al reputation for answering integrity
and independence of character, and has
made the name of the Tenth Ohio Dis
trict known and respected in our Ma
tional House of Representatives. There
can be no reason-personal or otherwise
for allowing Mr.. F. TO retire from
a position which he has so faithfully
filled, and should he not positively de-
cline, he will doubtless be renominated
by acclamation. The North should
learn lesson from the South in this
respect. viz; Tokeep men of experience
in our National Councils. Experience
in legislative and deliberative bodies is
an essential requisite.

gether one of the most cultivated audi

was very natural. The occasion was
another real treat to lovers OF Shak-
spearean drama, for it was not merely a
fine presentation of the leading parts,
but every character was played in a
mastery manner.
Mr.. Booths "Iago" was so near per-

above criticism OF comments. And for
the other parts to be so played as to i'm

Macauley's IS "Othello''Was not an attempt

it was carefully studied, scholarly
impersonation of the Moor, full OF vim
and fire, and one that caused the closest
