Enormous Crops In 1878.

The December report of the Depart.
ment OF Agriculture shows that the
corn crop for 1878 is some 3o,ooo,ooo
bushels larger than that of 1877. The
oat crop is somewhat in excess of that
of 1877, making it the largest ever
raised in this country. The average
Weld per acre is, however, less than in
1877, and The quality i'll most OF the
States is inferior. There is no material
change in the barley crop since 1877,
except that California increased her
acreage from 45o, 600 to $50, 600 acres
and almost dou BLEED her yield per acre.
The total produc. for the year will he
in round numbers AZ, 100000 bushels,
against "a, 500, 900 bushels in ls17.-
The rye crop is about One-sixth larger
than in 1877, but the quality OF the
crop is Inferior in the New England
Except COnnecticuD and the southern
States, while in the States of the West,
Northwest and Pacific slope, il is supe-
rior, except in Illinois and Nebraska.
The potato crop shows large decline
a. compared with 1917, though the
average was about the same, the differ
ence being less than one per cent. The
average yield of the whole country will
be 50 bushels per acre against "a bush
els in 1877, making total product n
round numbers of l2I 100000 bushels
for 1878 against 40, 900, 900 in 1877.
The hay crop is 20 per cent. greater
than last year. Sorghum is receiving
increased attention, especially IN the
ans-Mississippi States and territories.
In Stearns County, Mimi, "a variety
called amber cane is reported as yield.
ing as high as 800 gallons Of syrup per
acre. Delaware County, Iowa, manu-
featured l00, 900 gallons OF syrup dun
ing the year, and found hone de-
M and for the whole. The tobacco crop
is larger and exceptionally good.

IT WILL BR good news 10 the great
mass OF the people who are butter CON
sumers to know that the Legislature is
asked to take some action on the sale
of ole0margarine, tons Of which have
been sold in this city and III the state
under the nam. Of butter, which in
reality was nothing more than the rem
dered caul fat Ct cattle. 1t will be- re-
m.mbered tina, the REPUBLICAN led off
in an attack upon the sale OF this arti-
Gle more than year ago, and the mat
ter was brought before the City Coun-
ell, only to be thrust aside by that
body on the ground that any action
which would he taken would be in con-
fict with the laws Of the state. Now
that the supreme law -mak NJ power Of
the State is IN session, it is hoped that
the petition asking the legislature to
pass Law requiring oleomargarine to
be stamped, that it may be known, will
met with favor. W. have DO objection
to those purchasing 0le"mar5arine who
prefer it to real butter, but W. do want
it to be stamped that the purchasers
may know exactly what they are buy

The cabinet at Washington have been

Sherman and Schurz submitted esti-
mates from their departments as to the
probable cost if the act becomes law
The Commissioner of Pensions, upon a
hasty examination of the books III his
bureau, strikes the average at fifty mil

reach, il not exceed that amount. Sec
rotary sherman says it will take hun

feels himself at liberty to veto the bill,
as he has no constitutional objection to

THE REPORT Of the commercial fail
ures in New York City for the year Just
closed shows 81 in number, liabilities
amounting TO nearly s64 ,ooo, 1000, and
assets estimated at about $l9, 900. 600,
or a trife under an average of 80 per
cent. The New York Trade .JDUnai,
SAYS this is on its face bad showing
The number Of failures is greater
than in any previous year, the amount
Of liabilities il enormous, and the
ratio of assets is disgracefuly small
so small, in fact, that it involves a
very considerable element Of DOWN
right rascality. But il must be remem-
bered that the past year witnessed the
expiration Of the Bankrupt law, and
that the number of failures, as well As
the amount of reported losses, was
very greatly increased by the clearing
away of rubbish in connection with
that event. The field is now compare
lively free, and it ought to be possible
to show very much better record for
1873. 1t remains true, however, that
credit is still too loosely granted, and
that it is frequently made, instead OF
a wholesome aid, temptation to deal
er, il. extending their business. With
our currency ON a solid basis, We should
learn to Civ" an equally solid one to
credit, 70 the mutual Advantage Of
lender and borrower, seller and buyer.

The Geverusr's Critic.

The refusal of Governor Hall to re-
commend the establishment of q state
militia system meets with opposition
from the Eoery Erening, and without
meaning to be sarcastic We would say
the Governor was unfortunate in not
calling to his aid the astute editor of
that paper, when he was making up
his conclusions on the military part Of
his inaugural. No doubt the military
experience acquired by the editor while
he was fighting the battles of his cOun-
try at Fort Delaware, during the rebel
lion as a quarter-master's clerk-when
it is said he made request to have
yellow strips of braid sewed on the
sleeves of his little blue woollen blouse,
to distinguish him from the common
low herd of privates around him-would
have been of great assistance TO His
Excelleucy the Governor, and instead
of the mild tempered views expressed
1--WE think ourselves little behind the
age) We would have had an inaugural
ringing with the call: "To arms; To
arms! o, chickens Of the old "Blue

Of Rutherford B. Hayes, if ever they
attempt to set foot upon the sacred

selves in direct antagoni'ln with the

trained soldiers ar. very handsome to
look at, and come exceed ingly handy in
Centennial and inauguration times; hut
really We cannot See any pressing ne
cessty for having our little state brist-
ling with baynots, for tear that tn"
wives and children of some poor hal,
paid and halt starved laoorers, should
break into Il store or markrt.house
and by force take few loavrs of bread
and a roast of beef to keep soul and
body together little while longer. We
would remind the brave editor Of the
Ecerg Eren,hg, whose military gait in.
dicatps that he is every inch soldier,
that there We're several volunteer com

Is they came and encamp-
ed within its borders; but on the con
trary, We have some rtcoi eCtiOn of the
diSarmug of those companies by the
Union forces, for fear that if they fought
at all, they would fight on the rebel
side. We think after all aside from
Governor Hall thrustS at the General
which would have been
more in place eighteen years ago, he is
not tar wrong in his views of the USE
lessness of a regularly established and
organized state militia. Far better

spears, Far better light up the state
with the fires Of industry and eiuca-
ton, than to stand ready with all
