the present fair prospects in glowing
sentences wherein it says "This week
will close the wheat harvest In the
3" Northwest and the pleasant weather In
that quarter is pouring silver dollars
+" into the pockets of the farmers by the
"peck. 1t is estimated that the total
crop of the State of Minnesota will be
" from 45,OO0,0O0 tn 5O,0OO,000 bushels,
averaging ten to fifteen bushels to the
acre in the southern part Of the State
"and fifteen to twenty-five in the Park
"region, north of the Minnesota river.
1t is believed that three-quarters Of the
"wheat viii grade as high as No. 1, which
sis unprecedented. A few years ago a
"great part af Minnesota was thought
"to belong to the American Desert"
Minnesota Is no exception. The re-
ports of great good crops come from all
parts of the country, North, South, East,
and West will all be made weather., and
happier too, we hope, by the great yield
here. Every one must feel deeper
pleasure in this on rejecting that were
our crops short the suffering would be
correspondingly greater in the old world
that are now looking to the United
States for cheaper and better food of al
kinds than they could have procured
elsewhere. The shipments Of beef, but
ter, cheese, pork, sheep, horses and cat
tie are simply enormous, and would bt
still greater were the competition il
freight sufficient to reduce the price and
enhance the profits to the farmers ant

SUMMER TRAVEL DOWN THE BAY.
Summer excursion travel down the
bay the well known Summer resorts,
Collins Beach and Bombay Hook, has
incre ased SO much of late that there are
now two fine, large steamers plying be-

making connection with Wilmington by
the Susie A. Mccall, at Pennsgrove.
The Clyde makes q specially of carry
ing sxcursionists from Philadelphia and
Wilmington alone. She is boat, ele-
gantly furnished, commodious and swift
and every day goes down loaded with
passengers.

THE SHIPMENTS of American wheat
and farm produce to England are con-
stantly increasing, and it is evident that
the people of Great Britain will in fu-
ture look to this country for their sup
plies. The English merchants are be-
coming more and more deeply interested
in the trade, and this friendly intercourse
should be cultivated in our own coun-
try. Late dispatches state that with the
addition of SOC, 900 quarters of American
red wheat during the last three months,
there has been for this season so far
total increase of the wheat shipments of
100000 quarters over the same period of
last year. These figures speak for them
selves. And to the American farmer
are eloquent and musical. The price is
not so great just at this time. But his
good sense teaches him that it is very
comforting in such season of plenty to
be able to dispose of his wheat at these
prices and put the money in his pocket.
Those Of the growers in the West who
have experienced such seasons of plenty
when wheat was allowed to rot in the
sbesf and corn was used for fuel will
experience no doubt comforting assur-
ance that their labors have not been in
vain. One of our Democratic neigh

THE best and purest men are always
found united with political parties. The
most corrupt and scandalous peculations
and acts of extravaganza have emanated
from combinations formed under the de-
lusive cry of non-partizanism. An hon
est party always submits when it is
beaten. It is only the dishonest that
seek to get into power through the cry of
non-party action. The Democrats of
this city should scorn such attacks upon
their party. They only arise from de-
signing, disappointed Republicans who
desire Office or the fruits of Office for
themselves. Honest Republican politi-
clans accept the situation as one of the
results certain to follow in our free in
stitutions, are ready to bide their time,
and as soon as the Democrats fail 10 at

hope to come into power again through

IT Is ABOUT TINE Sitting Bull was
made an example of. If he had been
white man his skin would have been
riddled long ago. The people are tired
of hearing of the audacity of this savage,
and begin to look upon him as a petted
mortal for the value his mischief brings
to the army and Indian agency mills.
In colonial times when a price was given
for wolves scalps an agent once asked
of an Indian how it was that there were
no old she wolf scalps, and received for
an answer, ''if they were shot me get no
more pay for scalps." Now we do not
suppose General Miles would allow Sit
ting Bull to get out Of the range of his
guns if he gets within reach of him
But there are men engaged in the Indiar
Agency business whose interest in Sit.
ting Bull is just such as the Indal
had in the wolves.
We are now told that Sitting Bull ha
marched north with his whole camp c
from 5000 to 5000 Indians, and ha
squatted on the shores of Swan Lake
some eighty miles beyond the borde
There Sitting Bull proposes "to remain
but just how long Mr.. Long Dog, WI
tells all this to General Miles, does 1t
pretend to know or say. 1t is hope
that Gen. Miles will make short wol
with the old murderer of white men al
women If he gets sight of him.

SOME ATTORNEYS sacrifice property
in selling it without advertising it freely
No man these times is going to pay much
for farm without having time to look
over 1t and consider the matter, and 1t Is
. scandalous shame to thus sacrifice one
without advertising it fully. This is
done from personal prejudice on the part
Of attorneys to newspapers; and some
times on the pretense of economy, with
out rejecting that they charge for their
services four times what it cost to adver-
tise, knowing too that their services add
nothing to the price Of the property. In
fact people had better be without the
services of such attorneys as make a
habit of practlcing this political and
personal spite. They can sell theii
property just as well through the ser
vices of an auctioneer, and any rea
estate agent or newspaper publisher cal
write the advertisement for them just a
we'll.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The Secretary
of the Navy has awarded medals of honor
to David NJ. Buchanan and John Hayden
apprentices in the United States Navy,
for gallant conduct displayed by them in
saving the life of Robert Lee Robey, an
apprentice on board of the same ship,
the Saratoga. On the morning of July
Is, while the vessel was anchored off the
Battery, New York Harbor, Robey fell
overheard from the after part of the ship.
The tide was running strong ebb at the
time, and Robey not being an expert
| swimmer was IN Imminent danger of
drowning. Buchanan sprang over the
rail after him " Without hestaling an in
slant to remove even a portion of his
clothing. John Hayden, apprentice.
stripped himself and stood coolly watch
ing the two in the water, and when he
thought his services were required made
dive and came up alongside of them
and assisted them till all three were pick
ed up by boat from the ship. Captain

prompt report of the occurrence to the
Secretary, who to-day compliments the

GERMANY AND THE SILVER QUESTION.
The Herald's Washington correspond
ent sends news of interest on the vexed
silver question-namely, that Mr.. White
our Minister at Berlin, mas officially noti-
fed the State Department that Germany
will take part in the next Monstary
Conference, and if a ratio between gold
and silver can be agreed on will take
part with this country favorable to the
restoration n OF silver. This news is i'm
portant, if true; and 1t will hasten Mr.
Evarts' plan for new conference. 1t is
generally understood that MIR. George
Walker of this city, who is an intelli-
gent bimetalist, has been sent to Europe
by Mr.. Evarts to pave the way for such
q new conference on silver; but If Min
lister White is correctly reported from
Washington the accession of Germany
Will make the conference immediately
possible. We shall look with interest
for full reports OF Mr.. White's despatch.
If German, should really offer to help
reinstate silver as money and net As
mere subsidiary coin Prince Bismarck
would give the world another genuine
surprise.-N Y. Herald.
Other people less disposed to look
upon all that emanates from the British
theorists as wisdom, are of the opinion,
in view of the late losses and sad ex-
perience of Germany in following the
English financiers' plans, that the world
would receive "another genuine sur
| prise" if Prince B smarck should not
help to "reinstate silver as money" In
fact Judge Kelley was told by Bismarck
that the whole business of demonetiza-
tion of silver was left to the German
financial manager-that he, Bismarck
had not claimed to be a financier, anG
that the government financier or broker
had admitted TO him, he had made .
mistake. Bismarck told Mr.. Kelley alst
that orders had hean oi"H" - rnmnne
tie silver and he manifested grea
pleasure as well as surprise TO find tina
the United States was earnest in its et
fort also to restore silver TO its primitiv
value. In fact this conference is all
make-shift on the part Of John Sherman
/ and the gold standard people. Th
/ whole matter could better have been al
tended to by correspondence through th
