The Cincinnati Enquirer says that
General q FAIRFIELD has been interviewed
on the Chinese question, and Is full al
iorebodings from it. He thinks II
within the bounds OF possibility that the
Chinese, with an army OF 2O,OOo,OOo
men, may overrun Russia and the rest
of Europe, and finally end their career
of conquest 10y coming over here to the
Western Hemisphere and taking in the
United States as dessert. We are no
alarmists, but, with this state ol affairs
threatening us, we rise to ask II some
thing hadn't better he done tn put the
militia on war footing? There are
many men abroad in this land OF ours
who aspire to he Colonels.

The aggregate wheat crop OF the
country according to computation
made at Washington, is about l25,OOo,-
600 bushels. The increase al acreage
suwn was one-sixth greater than last
year. Many Of the larger wheat-pro-
ducing States very greatly reduced their
average yield per acre. TN the other
hand, other States show Il marked in
crease, among them New York, Penn
sylyania, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Ran
sas, California. The territories show an
immense ex pansion ri wheat cultivation,

istic oi virgin soils. The yields ri some
of the territories was considerably more

THE prospects Tor Democratic aspir-
ants to positions at Washington this
winter are not very encouraging.
While the competition makes the market
lively the spoils are mcager.
We are permitted 10 publish the fol
lowing extract from letter lately re-
ceived III this city from our Reprcsen-
tatiye, Hon. b. Wilson, which will give
some indication oi the situation there,
and he Of service To any who may be
squirting in that direction;
lIouSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,,
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. II, rs. J
Ny DEAR SlR:-I have received your
favor, and the accompanying petition,
asking the appointment OF our mutual
friend To some position
under the government, at Washington
or elsewhere.
deeply regret to say that | have II
hundred other similar applications from
my district, and fear shall he able I"
accommodate none OF the applicants.
You know the only patronage ut the
National capital under the control of the
Democratic party Is the appointment OF
the employees ui the House OF Repre-
sentativrs. They were all employed
under the organization of the House ut
the meeting OF the fortv-tifth Congress,
and will hold over until the organiza-
ton of the next House. Even here the
patronage is small not averaging one
appointment oi any Importance to each
member.
The patronage OF all the other depart
ments is under the control al the Re
publican PARTY, and they give no patron
aye OF Importance Ia Democrats. |
know that is meritorinus,
honest and worthy, and il would give
our entire delegation great pleasure 10
accommodate his wishes.
Martin, kenna and our two Senators
are almost daily applied I" tn aid in Sc
curing positions, hut for the reasons
have indicated are unable to do any
thing.
1t is a Noticeable TACT that since the
shrinksge ri values and paralysis in the
huSiness affairs oi the country caused
bv the policy of resumption, these ap-
pliraliuuS have been much more nu-
merous than before.
Yours most truly,
h. WILSON.
