says that crime has decreased among
the poor and ignorant classes of the
city, but has increased among the
the Intelligent and educated. In
charging grand jury respecting the
frauds of trustees and officers of
commercial institutions, he asserts
that the calender shows that among
savings banks and insurance corpor-
ations. crimes of fraud and other
forms of dishonesty have increased
a hundred per cent. within the last
three years. Places of honor and
trust are prostituted to the basest
uses. An insane greed for money
and fashionable luxury, threatens the
integrity of the State and every part
of the social fabric.
What wonder. when the whole
power of government has been en-
ployed for ten years to aggrandize
capital and impoverish labor; to build
up one jay Gould and cover the land
with a million tramps.

committee appointed two weeks ago.

out a missionary. The committee's s
report was as follows:
10 Workingmen's Union MOL:
GENTLEMEN:-Your committee re.
spectfully submit the following re-
port:
The object aimed at by this as
sociation can be accomplished only
through national legislation. To ef-
feet such legislation as is necessary
to restore prosperity to the paralyzed
industries of our country and deliver
wage labOrers from their present
condition of worse than chattel
slavery-their enslavement to the
money lords or the capitalist:c class

had such a failure before.
From Iowa still more discouraging
reports are received as to the crop.
Here are some samples:
POTTsvILLE. July 24.--Cloudy with
light rain, and prospect of more. Far
mers say the wheat will not average
more than four or six bushels per
acre. The berry is not filling, and
will be small and shrunken.
CAsTALIA, July 24.-Farmers have
commenced cutting wheat, and will
be cutting briskly the last of the week.
They say they will not have half a
crop, and the quality will be No. or
lower. Cloudy and looks like rain.
LIME SPRINGS. July 24.--Reports
from wheat to-day are very discour-
aging. Farmers say wheat has grown
rapidly worse within the last day or
two, and some pieces that seemed all
right are hardly worth cutting.
CREsCO July 24.-Wheat shrinking,
and many fields will not be cut at all.
Some farmers who commenced cut
ting have discharged their men and
gone out disgcsted. They say they
will plow up their wheat, which is
drying up and growing less every day.
CoNovER, July 24.-Farmers are
rather discouraged at the prospect,
and good farmers offer to sell their
wheat crop for enough wheat to SOW
the next crop. Yield estimates at 6
to 8 bushels per acre. Weather IA
vorable.
FORT ATKINSON, July 24.-Farm-
ers nearly all harvesting and seem to
think the wheat damaged fully as bad
as was anticipated. with chinch bug
on the increase and doing a little
damage. There are fields of wheat
here that are offered for 50 per acre,
while others expect fair yeild.
And yet in the face of this state of
facts Hodgson thinks the st. Paul
Chamber of Commerce ought to tell
the world that we have a good crop.

y IS farmer who has paid $l5,-
900 for his farm and implements.
He has also paid for the labor and eX-
pense of planting crop of corn. He
is without actual cash, and must pay
his taXes--which are given sum
each year-with his product. Before
contraction he paid them with 100
bushels of corn; now that the money
has been contracted in the interest of
capitalists, he must give 500 bushels
of corn to pay the same taxes. In
other words. he must work five times
as hard and produce five times as
much to accomplish the same result
rs before money was made scarce by
contraction. This illustrates the
manner in which the masses are
being misunderstanding Wurcry.

PRINCIPLES Vev Fullv.

Principles Very Fully.
General Butler wasin New York
on Saturday on his way home from
Washington. and several enterprising
reporters, undismayed by the torrid
heat, took advantage of his presence
in the metropolis to interview him on
the subject of the new party and it's
prospects. One of the scribes wasted
no time on preliminaries, but "plung-
ed at once into the subject of the
National party as growing power in
the politics of the nation He, the
interviewer. remarked that the new
party was holding frequent meetings,
even in this hot weather, but that
popular views are nevertheless some-
what confused as to it's meaning and
intent, whereupon the General said:-
1.-The National party is composed
of men all over the Union anxious to
rectify the mistakes Of the Govern
ment, to correct abuses which
have crept in, not only in our Ma
tional, but also in State politics; in
one word. to administer affairs Of
Government rigidly where heretofore
they have been administered wrong
ly. Take your State, for instance.
If excessive taxes should be levied,
the National party would step in first
to object. next to remedy. All good
men throughout the country virtually
belong to that party"

''How about the Greenbackers -
asked the writer.
THAT is still another branch.
There are some of the Nationals who
believe that the administration of the
Government finances need their first
attention. while others again are of
opinion that there are other matters
of equal Importance to be looked
after"

The directors of the Merchants
National bank, A. Wall street. voted
yesterday to reduce the copital stock
from S3.00O.0o0. to So,0Oo.OOO. Ex-
cessive taxation, approximating five
per cent, with dull business, and the
extremely easy loaning rates of money
caused the reduction. The bank is
one of the oldest in the city. and was
favored by wholesale dealers and lob
bers. The reduction in capital is only
q conservative measure. which bids
fair to be followed by many other
institutions.

Moral Of Stopping Your Paper.

The following from an exchange is SO
pertinent that We reproduce it in our
columns: A certain man got mad at the
editor and stopped his paper. The next
week he sold all his corn at four cents
below the market prices; then his prop
erty was sold for taxes because he only
heard of the convention three days after
it had adjourned: he lost ten dollars by
betting ON Molly Mccarthy ten days af-
ter Ten Brock had won the race: he
was arrested and fined eight dollars for
going hunting On Sunday. and he paid
three hundred dollars for a lot of forged
notes tina. had been advertised two
weeks. and the public cautioned not to
negotiate them. He then paid a great
big Irishman. With leg like a derrick.

The kilograms now coming from I,or.
don relative to the fate of the missio,
which started for Afghanistan, and tbo
further fact that the affair is no longer
matter to be handled from India, I'm,
from Great Britain, shows two thine,
One is that Afghanistan, and by conse.
uuence the Russian road to the Indie,
has fallen into the hands of Russia. The
second is that the English people, bv
installing the Afghan question in Enc.
lish politics, show that they regard the
event as one of the greatest Importance
1t would be little strange if, at this
very moment, when the salvos of the
guns which announced Beaconsfeld's
diplomatic "victory" over Russia have
hardly died away, the "check" which
England gave Russia at Berlin should
now, so soon, be returned by a "check-
mate" on that distant portion of the
political chess-board at Cabul It is
fact that, while the English mission was
| vainly knocking Mt Khyber pass for ad-
mission to Afghanistan, a Russian mis-
sion was already installed at Cabul. AL.
ready is Berlin avenged. Russia has
possession of the only available route to
India, and has friendly nations guarding
every inch of its extent from Bokhara
to the Indies.

HIS SECOND CHOICE.

Miss Susan, standing in the midst OF
her flower garden, that summer morning
was so absorbed with admiration for the
ten rose which had blossomed for the
first time after weeks Of patient waiting,
that she did not see Squire Gresham
until he gave little cough. Then she
looked up suddenly, almost startled, to
see him leaning over the garden fence
watching her.
"Gooi morning, Susan," he said in
that chccry, brisk way of his. 81 hope
l didn't frighten you. You looked up as
if you had forgotten that there was any
thing else in the world than that posey
of yours.
