ring address,in which he urged the work
lhginen Tor their own interest of their
Guy, county, State and country to sup-
port the Democratic ticket at the coming

James IL. Myers made most excellent
address, in which he briefly recited the
flstory OF the Democratic party in this
epuntry, showing how it had ever been
we party.ot the people, especially Of the
fworklngmen, and the lnveterate foe of a
anu rehRioas ostracism. In conclusion

Some time ago Mr.. Gladstone's admir-

Some time ago Mr.. Gladstone's admir-
ers in southern Bulgaria paused long
enough in the work of butchering Mussul-
man women and children to send the
Liberal leader a testimonial expressive
of their graduate for his efforts in the
cause of Bulgarian independence. Mr..
Gladstone sensibly replied that theycould
best show their appreciation of his labors
by sparing the Turkish population, or
rather what was left oft. That his time
ly advice has not been needed IS apparent
from the unanimous report of the Inter
national Consular Commission which has
recently returned from the scene of these
atrocities. The horrors of .Batak have
been outdone in the vengeance which
has been exacted of the unhappy Otto
mans and the Christians who impiously
prefer the rule of the Sultan to that of
the Czar. Scores upon scores of populous
villages have been pillaged and burned;
their male inhabitants murdered, and the
woman and children treated with a bar
barity too shocking to contemplate. Two
years ago. when Bulgarian, were the VIC
Tins. ali England rang with denuneiation.
Now, when Mohammedans and Chris
tians alike are sufferers, but one solitary
voice is raised in their behalf, and that
more in the way of measured remon-
STRANGE than of righteous Indignation.

TRICKS OF THE .WHISKY- TRADR.-
The Chicago whisky distillers have fire.
quently conplsined the commissioner OF
internal revenue that the Cincinnati distil-
iers were constantly undersellin them, and
requested him to ascertain the cause,
General Raum has done so, and report
transmitted by one ofhis experts explains
the matter. 1t appears that the Cincinnati
distillt rs are allowed one gallon per barrel
for shrinkage by the government gaugers,
according to the general regulations in eff
feet throughout the country; they also
avail themselves of the provision of the
law which does not exact tax for any
fractional part of gallon less than half a
gallon: as they sell their whisky
to rectifiers whilst it is not they are ena-
bled to save tax upon nearly one gallon
and a-half per barrel, and hence have this
much advantage over the Chicago distiIl-
ers, who sell their whisky cold and after
the shrinkage has occurred. a,l tt.@ ...

Agricultural Prospects In Eu-
rome.

Mr.. James Card writes to the Times as
as foliows:-"The agricultural returns of
Great Britain show a small increase in
wheat and barley and decrease in oats.
The acreage of wheat has increased So
600. Estimating Ireland at a slight in
crease, the total acreage of wheat in the
United Kingdom is 3,400,O 900. The new
crop is fully up to the average and better
than for some years. 1t will yield III
100000 quarters, leaving 100000 quar-
ters to be drawn from abroad. The
French wheat crop is believed to be be-
low the average, and the French will be
buyers instead of sellers. The present
prices will probably be maintained, or
perhaps be slightly increased, but there
will be no scarcity. The potato crop
will be about the same in extent as last
years. There is less disease than for
several years past at the same period.
Young cattle have increased 40,5OO and
lambs 263,000.

READING, Pa, August 21.-The Green
hackers of this county are making a
lively opening of the campaign, and,
Judging from appearances, they will be
managers of both the old political parties
when November comes around. This
evening an immense meeting was beld in
Penn Square, at which j. Fl. Randall, of
Ohio, and w. s. Lurton, of Illinois,
lspoke and sang their praises of the Ma
tional Greenback party. A club was
also organized in the Fifth ward, with
over one hundred names recruited from
the ranks of the Democrats and Republi-
cans.
