NOBODY need be disturbed by the
failure of the Protection Life Insur-
ance company, of Chicago. Its down.
fall is due to a most infamous system
of swindling, which, though necessari-
ly in violation of the law of the State,
authorizes the establishment of compa-
MES upon any such scheme. No CO.
operative companies are permitted to
do business in New York and New
England. They are founded on a
wrong principle, and even if honestly
managed have no reason to anticipate
anything hut failure.

Our I.itfIe Army.

Many frontier officers are ~disgusted
and some of them are writing to friends
in the east to try and find civil employ
ment for them. The applications for
leaves of absence during the winter
will be four times greater this year
than any year since the war, and fully
one half of our best officers on the
plains desire to go east with a view of
procuring civil service or engaging in
business. Many officers, while they
bitterly complain of the stoppage of
their pay and oppose any further reduc-
ton of the army, are in favor of dis
banding the whole military establish
ment. They say their services have
not been appreciated and they do not
desire to remain in service while men
equally as deserving as themselves are
turned out. They believe if the army
WIS disbanded the Indians would over.
run the border states and they would
be recalled in a year or two with in
creased rank and pay. They say the
cost Of defending the border with vol.
unteers would greatly exceed the ex.
pense of the regular army, and that
contractors and Spectators would SO
defraud the government, in ayear or SO
it would be glad to reorganize the army
aud let it alone.

KANSAS,
The Crop Report.


Topeka, Aug. 14.-The July monthly
report of the State Board of Agricul-
ture is ready for distribution, and is of
great value. There were about %, 900
acres more in wheat than in 1876, yet
the crop of this year is 954 ,2S7 less than
that of last year. Taking the report
of the agents of the board, the wheat
average is fifteen bushels to the acre;
but the report believes that as that
estimate was made in some in
stances too soon, it is too high, and
that thirteen bushels is the average.
On that basis the crop this year is 49,
665, 93S bushels.
The report gives the acreage in each
crop, and the increase or decrease as
compared with last year. 1t also gives
for the first time the total valuation of
all the crops and stocks for 1875. The
increase in the product of cheese for
March /, 1876, to same date of 1877, is
800, 2S2 pounds; in butter. 1887, 63S
pounds; in wool, 1880 pounds. The
valuation of live stock and the pro-
ducts of live stock exceed the total
valuation of all the field and garden
products by neal five per cent.

THE Canadian Indians sustain them
selves Principally by hunting, fishing
and agricultural pursuits, some of the
best farmers in Canada being found in
the western part of Ontario, near
Sarnia. In the application of criminal
law no difference is made between In
dams and whites, and, in conspicuous
contrast TO the States, white men have
been frequently hanged in Canada for
the murder of Indians. Contracts for
supplies, which consist mainly of agri-
cultural implements. fishing gear and
the like, are generally made with the
lowest bidder, who retains the contract
in many instances for years, until its
term are violated.
