90 Don't Pay" Crops.

@ Raising corn don't pay" says the
tfarmerof Maine. Raising this and
that crop don't pay. This thing and
that don't pay. Well, what shall l do2
What shall / and my sons-one 16 years
and the other Is years old,-do this sum-
mer? Our farm is 100 acres" The
DOM pay, we take it, means that the
labor we put into this or that crop viii
nokgiveus the'current rate of wages.
Well, suppose itdoes not suppose you
.and,your sons do not earn each so cents
day,in oultlvating your crops, when
the laboring man gets dollar day for
a pertian,of the year.
The thing to do, it seems to us, is
,cither,to quit the farm and try some
other business, or to stick to to the farm
and make the so cents n day and as
much more as we can, by hard work.
This idhng of our time-conplailng
the while; this doing only the half what
we can do-this farming sort of life
resting, ,as lit were, on our oars, and only
putting them into the water occasionally
fora stroke, will not make tanning pay
better. Aleep the oars moving all the
time, and we may but advance slowly,
yet there will be an advance.
That farming don't pay, as well rs we
could wish, may make it prudent for as
not to borrow money for improvements;
not to hire men and pay them wages
Int Ia ,Nf .,f fn. rNrlr
Bnt, having "a farm, with good buildings
on our lands, which we have no eXpecta-
tion of quitting, don't let us stop apply
ing tothe working of it, the muscle of
ourselves and family and our best efforts.
We know one who is loud in declaring
that farming don't pay; he is at the
post-of1ice each afternoon, talking poll
tics, and his eldest son shows, as the
fruit, of his own labor for a year-a five
year-ol doolt, well broken, that shows a
good step in the buggy.
We might ask this man. does this
fmanner of life, of himself and son pay
1t,is the farm, after all, that gives them
Hhe, opportunity So to waste time. 1t is
thefarm, after all, that permits the
Hnan to pass half his year at the village
store, and his son to train the colt.
suppose this wasted time was given to
the " don't pay" crops, and the earnings
we're put into the savings bank. Would
mot the don t pay crops pay better than
the don't pay idle hours Our COM
ilaint is that the don't pay cry is made
ais an excuse for doing not half as well
as we can. XELCo.

The French Elections.

The French elections have resulted, as was
anticipated lin substantial success for the
Republicans. Although they have failed to
fully achieve their object,-they fought for
four hundred seats and have lost some fifty
representatives, their majority in the Assem-
bly, is large enough for all practical purposes.
The sentiment of the country is unmistaka-
bly, for them, and the elections. can only be
construed as rebuke to the monstrous pre-
tensions of MacMahon. The Republican tri
umph is the greatest ever achieved by that
party. The loss of some members was to be
expected, for at the previous elections the
Monarchists were divided and the followers Of
Theirs and Gambetta gained some seats
which did not belong to them. On Sunday
for the first time there was a fair test of the
strength of the opposing factions. The ere
mics of the Republic were united in support
of the official candidates and the Republicans
had to encounter solid opposition. Their
success under these circumstances is so
marked thai there is no longer any doubt a
to the sentiments of France in respect to
Monarchical restoration. The Republicans
too had to contend against the whole ma
chinery Of the Government, which was putt
motion to defeat them. Newspapers
were suppressed, prominent leaders
imprisoned, voters everywhere threatened
with direful consequences should they refuse
to support the official candidates. At the
previous election the Republicans were not
confronted with this governmental opposition.
And yet it is probable that when the official
returns of the vote come in the Republicans
will be found to have increased their popular
majority.
The election is but the prelude to the
drama. The struggle between the President
and the new Assembly will now begin, and
upon its issue depends the fate of republican
government in France. The Republicans
have carried themselves through the canvass
just closed with so much good judgment and
moderation that we have every reason to be-
lieve that their course in the contest now be-
fore them will be marked by equal wisdom.
What the MARSHALL President may do no one
can predict. 1t is scarcely to be expected
that he will bow to Gambetta's command,
and submit or resign. He cannot easily car
ry on the government in opposition to hos
tile Assembly which may at any time refuse
to vote supplies. 1t is not believed that he
will have the audacity to call upon the army
to aid him in overturning the constitution
and making himself dictator. Indeed. there
is much reason to suspect that the army
would not follow him. His probable course
is another dissolution of the Assembly and
fresh appeal to the ballot. In that case we
havefaith to believe that the majority against
him will be greater than it is now.

THE losses of the Russians since the war
commenced have been positively fearful, and
help to explain how an army that looked so
large on paper dwindles away when it ap~
pears in reality. The Bucharest correspond
ent of the New York Times says that before
their passage of the Danube they had 1000
sick in the hospitals and 5000 were sent back
to Russia. AT the crossing at Braila and the
engagement at Matchin 1920 were lost.
Gen. Zimmerman has lost 1000 in the Dob
rudscha by battle, and has invalided 5000
back to Russia. The repulsed passages at
Oltenitza and Glamunda cost 1000; Simnitza
and Sistova, 1,400; Biela, 1900; Rustchuk
and Rasgrad, 5000; the march to Tirnova
and the crossing of the Balkans, 1000; Gen.
Gourko's retreat, 1900; Nikopolis, 2,400;
the first and second battles of Plevna, at
least $4,000; the repulse at Lovatz, 1880. In
addition to these, there have been heavy
losses at Shipka. Karahassan, and Kara LON,
the extent of which is not known. Add to
these 10000 who have been sent home sick
and the number of deaths in hospital, and it
is probable at least 100000 men have been
rendered hors de combat since the war COM
menced. The Russians have lost two full
army corps in number, and have not yet
gained an important victory.

AT the elections three weeks hence, be.
si1es other officers, Governors are to be chosen
in Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, New
Jersey, Texas, Virginia and Wisconsin. Penn
sylvania will elect Supreme Judge, Auditor
and Treasurer, the first for twenty-one years,
the second for three years, and the third for
two. Minor State officers will also be chosen in
several other states. No state election occurs
in Illinois this year, but county officers will
be chosen in November. OF course the elec-
tions in the Southern states will be all one
sided. In Mississippi. the Republican organ
zation having been abandoned, there is no
opposition to the reelection of Gov. Stone,
the present incumbent, who has been renom-
mated by the Democrats. Virginia will be
equally solidly Democratic, the Republicans
deeming it useless to issue a call for a State
Convention. W. FL. Holiday, the Democrat
ic candidate, will therefore, meet no organ
lied opposition worth speaking of, the indie
pendent movement against him not amount
ing to much.

A LETTER from Rome to a New York I

A LETTER from Rome to New York pa
per says:
Recently cabled to you note on the quiet
but suggestive action of Italy. The fact that
this power is largely increasing her armaments
is one that should be taken into serious account
when reviewing the prospects of European
peace. Guns of great calibre are being man
ufactured at Turin, Brescia and Naples. They
are turned out.with pressing rspidity, and trans
ported to new points of defense and for the
strengthening of interior fortresses. Rome is
being fortified. Big guns are continually ar
irving there The forts Of Genoa are receiving
many additional cannon. The mouth of the
pass of Mont Gents is being fortified. They
have augmented their fleet considerably. When
their two newest ships are afoat, no country
will have brace of more terrible war vessels.
In Northern Italy they hate France. At Pied
mont.the desire to get back again Nice and Savoy
annexed by Napoleon Ill, is almost as strong as
the determination of the French never to rest
satisfied until Alsace and Lorraine are once
more under French government. Bismarck is
credited with fomenting the national feeling in
Italy, and under cover of dread of Ultra
montane conspiracies there is a secret under
standing between Germany and Italy But
this combination, of course, is only move in
advance against trouble between Germany and
France. 1t is not associated with the war in
the East, though it is the outcome of Bismarck $
general plan of rectifying the map of Europe
Whenever the opportunity has arrived.

IN reply to number of congratulating
friends, recently, DR.. Newell, Republican
candidate for Governor of New Jersey, said
of Gen. Mcclellan, his opponent: 'The
Democratic party has presented distin-
guished and honorable gentleman as their
candidate, and it will require our most ear
nest and unremitting efforts to regain our
ascendency in the Executive Department of
State" Mcclellan has always been favorte
with his adversaries. Robert E. Lee observed
that he would rather have "Litte Mac" op-
posed to him than any other General in the
Federal army.
