From the Boston Traveller.
The Crops and Fall Trade.

The most ingenious argument that the
croakers can bring forward cannot dis
prove the fact that the leading crops OF
the country. this year. are above the aver
age, and in general beyond the probabili-
ty of serious damage. The winter wheat
has been harvested and yielded we'll; bar
ley and oats are in admirable condition;
the weather has retarded the ripening OF
spring wheat but there is vet time for it
to mature the corn crop is the only one
of the grains that there is any doubt
about, but success sion of good weather
during August will place it beyond harm.
OF the other crops. su n as rice, tobacco
and cotton, there is no fear in regard to
q full harvest. The most experienced and
far-seeing merchants are satisfied that
there will be a foreign demand for nearly
all the surplus of these crops, and there
is certainly that in the present condition
of European affairs to warrant this as
sumption.
On the other hand. it is a well-assured
fact that the West. Southwest and South
are comparatively short in stocks of goods
of all kinds, and upon the first sign OF the
movement of the crops there will imme-
diately follow traders orders. Those who
are most competent to Judge do not hesi-
tate to say that the effects of the strike
are not as damaging to the business in
terests of the country as have been sup
posed. Had the strike occurred two
months, or even one month later, the in
reference with business would have been
Of incalculable damage, but there is every
reason to believe that there will be com
plete restoration of regular railroad traf-
fic before the new crops begin to move.
With these facts before them, our
merchants are returning to the hopeful
condition oil things which existed pre-
viously, and are resuming their arrange
ments for fall trade in the faith that it
will exceed their early expectations.

Political.

Gen. Garfield was evidently one too many for
Stanley Matthews at the Cleveland Convention
Tribune.
few months ago Stanley Matthews had
excellent reputation, and he might have had 1t
still, if he had not given his whole attention to
destroying it. He frittered it away by his politi-
cal maneuvres last spring, and his meddlesome
offcousness in setting him elf up as the ke eper
of the Presidents conscience and dispenser of his
patronage he made en- utter and fnal wreck of
what was left of it by his Performance in the eau
Gus OF the Ohio convention yesterday. when he
proposed that the convention should surrender to
the inhationists. Garfield, Foster and Cox with
stood him to his face, and prevailed against him
Matthews may have been a success as Judge
but as politician he is the most dsgrsceful fail
ure of his generation Worcester SPY.
There are Thousands Of democrats in the coun-
try who are intelligent and patriotic men, They
have no sympathy with that consciencele less lead
ershp which appeals to ignorance and gains pow
er by pandering to vice. They take very little
stock in the average Democratic editor. They
are conservative men who differ from the repub-
licsns on questions Of public policy. Asa class
they are not power in the party organization.
They know % well as republicans that the mass
Of the ignorant and vicious classes in our large
cities vote solidly with the democracy. Should
they be asked to designate upon a map of any
city the localities which furnish the democratic
mslorities, they would inclose in lines those pre-

cincts where gin mills and dance halls outnumber
bakers shops and butchers stalls five to one. and
those localities of filth and vice which are kept in
hand BY the vigilance and club Of the police. 1t
may be that these classes who swarm in these
abodes do not engage in lots but their record is
against them. Now that the democratic editor
has called attention to this matter, we make bold
to say that we would be quite willing TO publish
the names Of the rioters arrested In all the larger
places with their politics as made up from the
bsst evidence which can be obtsined.-BostoH
