THE WEEKLY SENTINEL.

With this issue, the subscribers to the
Weekly Sentinel will receive a SUPPLEMENT
OF TwENTY-FoUR COLUMNS, containing
large amount of important read
ing congressional and legislative proceed
ings, besides well selected miscellany, which
we are confident gives the Weekly Sentinel
a value possessed by no other weekly news
paper circulated in the stste. This large
supplement is a feature which We are
persuaded will greatly extend the circu-
lation of the Sentinel as it will be
permanent, and without additional cost to
subscribers, though Of large additional cost
to the publishers. The purpose is to make
the Sentinel in all regards the best paper in
Indiana, and our new departure GTnich
gives seyenty-two columns of reading in
stead of forty-eight-is conclusive that we
mean business.

will take first the old Bay state, ana md
thG.t this radical party gives one representa-
dive to every 61O radicals, while 1t requires
1 ,754 democrats to match him. In Maine,
where they raise Jim Blaines, they think
sos radicals equal tc 1887 democrats. In
Massachusetts two years ago the democratic
governor was elected by over seven thous-
and votes yet the radicals maintained their
ascendancy in the legislature. In New
Hampshire with a bare majority of LIZ the
radicals managed to secure majority OF
seven in the legislature OF 1876, and now
with a popular majority of something over
three thousand they have secured leglsla-
tive majority of 81. Here it takes 215 demo-
Gratis to equal 1SS radicals. In Vermont,
where a man had better be dead than
be democrat, it takes 700 democrats to get
a representative. while il only takes 100 radi-
Gals Wonder what Vermont radical is
made of? The democrats with their 10000
votes in the state hare no representative in
the Vermont senate. In Rhode Island 81
radicals are equal to $50 democrats. In
Iowa ,63l radicals equal 5000 democrats.
In Wisconsin the radicals have 6,OO0 major
ity, and this gives them thirty more 'egisla-
tive representatives than the democrats
They have a returning board in Wisconsin
also of the same kind as we have here. In
Ohio the radical majority is only about 5000
in vote of nearly eeo,OOO, and yet this
trifing majority gives a radical majority in
in the Ohio Legislature of twenty
two. In Michigan radicalism flourishes
like a green-bay tree. The ratio of
representation is one representative to every
1,677 radicals and one to every AGO demo-
Gratis. How is that for healthy political at
mosphere? Thus we have followed the
Journal away from our own state to trace
radicalism in others, and we find the same
old overbearing, swindlins and intolerant
spirit wherever it is in power. Perhaps soon
it will tell as why Governor Baker did not
sign the apportionment act, and why it takes
so many more Indiana democrats to secure
legislative representative than it does radi

THE WORLDS BR FAD CROP.

The general prospect of the harvest is
not so encouraging in Europe as in this
country, which will be called to supply
the deficiency abroad. The New York
Tribune quotes the following general
statement of the outlook:
1t is plain from the summaries of the
agricultural reports printed yesterday and
TO day, that the British harvest will again
be light. The wheat crop especially is
far below the average. The harvest in
France is also defective, and the German
crop is almost the only one on the Cont
nent that is looking well. A fair har-
vest is going to waste in the agricultural
belts of Russia, owing to scarcity OF
field labor. The Economist now admits
that the reports of the harvests in other
countries which have reached England,
leave little reason for doubt that the low
prices OF wheat which have prevailed tor
the last two years will not be repeated
during the next twelve months. This
view is based upon the reports which have
been received of the harvest prospects in
India and America, as well as Europe.
While the wheat supply will be ample, it
is estimated that bread will cost Great
Britain from four to five million ste Ring
more this year than it did last year. Now
this supply is coming in large measure
from the United States, where we have
one of the finest harvests we have ever
garnered. The railroad strikes came too
early to prevent our crops from reaching
foreign market. Although the harvest
in California has fallen off Unexpectedly,
it is estimated on the London exchanges
that the expectation of wheat from Amer
lea will exceed last years's supply by two
million quarters. Our merchants and
business men are already in buoyanL
spirits, and not without cause.
