MINISTER wAsHBUREE
Arrived last night in the Neckar. He
looks rosy and healthy. AT the Astor
House, this evening, Mr. Washburne said
that he would not express any views as
to the effect Of the recent prosecution Of
Gambetta and the manifesto Of McMahon,
which events happened after he left Paris,
but his general opinion was that the pros.
pact Of the Republicans in the coming
election remained good. Just before Mr..
Washburne left Paris he had talk with
Theirs and Gambetta. Both expressed
the belief that the Republican majority in
the next Assembly would be very large,
even larger than was generally expected.
Mr.. Washburne thought that the prose-
cution Of Gambetta was n great mistake,
aS we'll az being unwarranted, for there
was nothing in his speech at Lille that
was not allowable. As to the moderate
behavior Of the Republicans, Mr.. Wash.
burne though that it was perhaps us
much due 10 the coercive temper Of
the Government as 10 inherent order and
quiet. Mr.. Washburne confirms the re-
port that he and other Americans advised
Gen. Grant not to 60 to Paris now, be-
cause bis presence there in the excite.
mcnt now prevailing would almost surely
lead TO demonstrations that might result
untavorably, as the feeling in Paris
against MacMahon was very bitter. Mr..
Washburne says he shall quit politics.
Alter a quarter Of century of political
lie he is going TO give It up, resume the
practice oi his profession and open an
office in Chicago. He,started West this

Mill Plain Farming Items.

Geo. W. Jones had 10 acres of Chill
club wheat, seeded the last of March,
which averaged 80 bushels to the acre
This is thought to be the best crop of
this wheat ever grown on Mill Plain.
He also had 10 acres of the same kind
of wheat which was seeded the first Of
March, which averaged 271 bushels to
the acre. His white winter wheat av-
eraged p bushels to the acre His oats
averaged 37I bushels to the acre.
Henry Shoemaker had full average
crop, his wheat going 20 bushels and
his oats 80 bushels to the acre. He
had about IS acres altogether.
Jacob Dubach had 200 acres of very
fine grain. 1t averaged to the acre
about the same as Mr.. Shoemaker's.
He had field of very heavy oats which
yielded A bushels to the acre. During
harvest he used self binding harvest
er and he, as we'll as all the neighbors,
are much pleased with the way it does
the work. 1t takes up the grain much
cleaner than by the Old fashioned hand
binding.
Ira E. Spencer, renter on the farm
of Major kress, had a very good crop.
His Spring wheat, which was raised on
the Corless part of the farm, averaged
% bushels to the acre, being a fine
yield considering the quality of the
soil. The credit of the good crop is
due to the superior farming carried on
by Nj. Spencer.
Mr.. Jones threshed about 200 lbs. of
canary seed which seems TO Go we'll in
this country. Further experiments
viii prove whether or not this will be a
profitable crop for farmers. Mr. Jones
Is going TO test it. l
The wheat on the Lovelace farm is
not turning out so we'll as some others,
but the oat crop Is quite up to the av-
erage. Harvesting Is progressing ener-
getIealiy ON these broad acres, which
is as il should be.

Brigham Young.

At last the world receives the an
nouncement that the great Mormon
leader, Brigham Young, is dead. He
is dead and buried, and to the grave
there has gone with him much of the
strength of the Mormon priesthood.
Those whom he has left behind him
are divided in their wants and opin-
ions, and there is no one to whom
the church can turn with such implicit
faith, in prophetieal and inspired
sense, as they had in Young, the
great leader His death is a severe
blow to the leading features of the
Mormon religion. Doubtless polvg-
amy will now gradually vanish away.
There is much opposition to it in the
church, and the gentle pressure
againstitis constantly growing strong
er. The death of Young, the already
waning power of the priesthood
among the Mormon people and the
ever increasing numbers of the gen
tile population will gradually tone
down the barbarity of this despicable
institution, and the mormonism of 20
years ago and Of to-day will be abol-
ished by the process Of gradual refor-
nation. This church system will, in
time, gradually disintegrate and van
ISL from the earth.

thronged the Tabernacle and double that

Brigh2nns Successor.
There is a strong opposition to the success
sion of either Joseph Young or Brigham
Young Jr. to the presidency of the church,
John w. Young being better fitted for the
position tliM either of the others. There is a
strong, outspoken and rapidly organizing OPP
position to the Young dynasty based upon
the personal unfitness of the candidats as
upon the determination on the part of the
church lerders to rid themselves OF the pecun-
iary embarrassment that Brigham's avarice
and selfshness has entailed upon the church,
and to be exempt from the censure which the
developments of the last few months have
made of the murders and blood atonement
Geo. G. Cannon is much talked of for the
position. He is spoken of as smooth, cum
ming man and popular with the masses.
