The Seneca Falls On. " ReUeiUe
says: 1t would seem that the most en-
terprising and hardest working jour
natists are the most entitled to public
favor, yet our observation teaches US
that they are the ones who receive the
least. Men who make newspapers must
spend much of their lives in perform
ing deeds of gratuity; they must GENE
and go at the beck and call of the peo-
Pile; they must air the peoples griev-
ances at their own cost; write up the
SORROWS and joys of Others as we'll as
their own, and ever be ready to espousc
the cause and fight the battles of every
aggrieved mortal il the land. The
hard-working editor labors in season
aud out to please his readers, spends
Sleepless nights thinking of editorial
matter, reads paper after paper, gather
Jag an item here and there of the latest
news, constantly studying to suit the
tastes of fasldious public; but in the
end, we think, gets little thanks for
his eff jrts, and the smallest remunera-
ton for his services. He studies TO
make his paper readable and acceptable,
and If he does so, Ire deserves success,
and should receive the encouragement
of the public. When people fail to
appreciate the efforts and enterprise of
Woodworking and intelligent journal
lists, they should be deprived of the
privilege of reading; and when poIiti-
clans and political parties under-rate
or ignore proper and iudicious editorial
service, they make a grievous mistake.
There is not'in the whole profession u
Legitimate worker who does not pay

their services % the pains-taking and

The registry and navigation laws of
the United States, which have been in
force from the beginning of the century
and which the Rlaine Radicals would
pcrpetuate, provide that no vessel can
be deemed vessel of the United States
and entitled to national protection I'M
less owned entirely by citizens and
commanded by United States citizen.
II naturaliZed owner or part owner
of a vessel goes to foreign country for
two years the register of the vessel is
forfeited. Only vessels built in the
United States or captured by the United
States in war can he registered. No
American-built vessel licensed to sal,
under foreign flag during the rebellion
can be registered anew. No vessel can
be registered the owner or part owner
of which usually lives IN foreign
country. Vessels sold to o foreigner
shall be considered foreign vessels, and
not entitled to another registration if
bought back by United States citizens.
These legal Curiosities are not memen
toes of barbarous period of commerce
and navigation, but are existing laws
Incorporated into the revised statutes
of the United States, vigilantly en-
forced and just now approved by the
convention of the dominant party re-
presenting the best intelligence of a
New England State. Can citizens who
lament the decay of our once splendid
foreign commerce find m~re forcible
reasons for its melancholy plight than
such laws and such political sentiments
suggest9 The purpose of these laws is
to give Maine profitable monopoly of
shlp-building and ship-Owning.

Crops OF 1877.

1t has beer splendid year for crops,
and the harvest weather throughout
the West has been wellnigh perfect.
The cTop OF wheat and oats will be es-
pecially heavy. Corn aud cotton also
are very favoTsbly reported, but about
a fortnight later than usual. The ten
dcucy OF all products is downward, but
Mt to the extent Of panic. The cot
n crop jlst bliDg closed out proves
10 have amounted to , g66, 600, or
within $50, 0G0 neles OF the largest re-
cent crop, that of 1876. II is admitted
that the pTescn, crop shows more ia
vorably at this date than the last did.
The wheat year, which clUsCd with
August l, was the poorest IN The praI-
re States OF any year for "a long time.
The receipts vi the lake ana river

600. 0U0 bushels, against &C coo, coo ID

So 900. 600 in 1894. 1t is to be hoped
that the present crop viii not fall short

| other hand, the receipts of corn were
81 600, 600, against &c, 900. 900, AZ,
600, 900 aud G2, 900, 900 in the three
preceding years, respectively. 10 con-
sequence of the great corn crop, the

nine months the expectation of pork,
lard and bacon reached nearly GOO,
