effects in other lands than our own. They
make bread cheap in England, and there
BY break down the existing system of
British Agriculture and even shake the
ancient foundations of the British laud
system upon which rests the fabric of
British power; they so threaten the pros
perity of Germany farmers rs to make it
necessary for the imperial government to
establish a tariff on foreign gram for their
protection; and they make the price of
grain in France so low as to cause discomfort
among the French farmers, who with all
their frugality, complain that they cannot
raise grain at American prices. Thus the
extension of our wheat-growing region dur
ing the last twelve years and the remar-
kable application of labor-savlDg machl-
merry to the production OF grain, while
bringing about important notifications IN
politics, transportation and industry IN
our own country, are having effects wide
aud deep in the civilized portions OF the
Old World!
A French paper, in an attempt to rec
oncile French farmers to the decreasing
| prices of grain caused by American COM
petition, tells them that the Western
| farmers of the United States are drawing
on the future by overtaxing the capacity
of their soil; that they are exhaustIng
their lands by bearing away from them
the millions of tons of grain which they
yield, year by year, without restoring any
part thereof to them; and that this pro-
cess must, in the course of years, exhaust
the western states as those of the east
have been exhausted, The French minis
ter of commerce, too, In speech to an
audience of farmers told them that the
present exaggerated production of wheat
and Indian corn in the far western states
viii not last forever" These assertions
are true. The present system of grair
raising 10 the west is process of gradua
depletion; the land is being bled tC
exhaustion. We are robhing the soil anC
the future generations into whose hands il
must fall. Bat the evil is irremediable, Oh
rather unavoidable, under existing condi
lions. Raising grain for distant market
is all that the western settler can do, ever
though he knows it is sapping the land BIZ
cultiVates. He owes debt on his farm
and he must draw upon it heavily. for ,
time, for the means of paying that debt
But the process will cease after a while
As the west becomes tbickly settled anC
out of debt, and its large farms divided
into smaller ones, q less wasteful system o
agriculture will be adopted rotation o
crops, fertilizing, and feeding a portion o
the product of the soil upon it, will restor
{ the lost elements of fertility, and repai
the damage of the present exhaustiv
tillage.

the defeat of Ewing in Ohio. Some days
ago" says a special to the New York
Herald, the private secretary Of Gen.
Ewing in Ohio sent letter. W. B.Moore,
ex-chief Of special agents, asking for some
points in Sherman's record. Moore, ever
since his dismissal from the treasury, has
been notorious in his war upon it. Hence
the request of EWing's secretary. Now,
the deputy fourth auditor of the treasury
is one VIM. B. Moore. He was the re-
cipient of the letter intended for the ex'
special agent, and thought it such good
point upon the democrats that he gave il
to correspondent for publication. To
day ex.Special Agent Moore swore out q
warrant against the deputy auditor charg
ing him with illegally opening his mail
His counsel says if the deputy had opened
the letter by mistake, and had promptly
returned it, no harm would have beer
done, but his retention of the letter anC
publishing Of its contents constitutes renl

Tomorrow occurs the election in Cali
iornia aud the result will be eagerly
watched by the people of the entire coun-
try. The most bitter fight will be 10 San
francisco, where it is feared there will be
bloodshed, so bitterly has the contest been
wagcd. 1t is impossible to outline the
result and whichever party succeeds, will
be surprised, as affairs have been so hope
lessly mixed and parties so divided on
state issues, that there has been no attempt
made to forecast the probable vote, except
by the Chronicle which week ago claimed
Dr. Glenn's election by 10000 majority.
This estimate is undoubtedly wild of the
mark, and is based on the old party lines
IA basis which in the present condition
of California politics cannot be regarded

New York.

The opposition to the re. denomination of
Geo. Robinson, by the New York Dem
ocracy. has assumed the form Of open
revolt, aud it can be set down as a settled
fact that he will not be nominated The
fight against Robinson is the old one
against Tilden, and it is led By John
Kelly, the Tammany sacheI, and the
democrats of New York city. 1t is hardly
10 be supposed that, in the face Of so
earnest a protest as is presented, that
Lucus Robinson will be forced upon the
people Of New York II he is renomnated
and defeated, as Is more than likely to be
the outcome in such an event, then will
those who forced his nomination be held
responsible for the defeat. Democrats
have too much at stake in New York 20
become divided on personal quarrels, and
for the sake of uuity,if for no other reason
it is to be hoped that Gov. Robinson will
be retired to private life. If the charges
preferred by john Kelly, backed by some
of the most influential Democrats in New
York be true, and certainly they appear to
be well substantiated, it would be suicidal
to nominate Robinson.
The Democrats of New York cannot be
too careful in their selection, for the result
will materially affect the democracy of the
entire nation. Gov. Robinson may have
made good Governor, in his way, but if,
as is charged by the thousands who oppose
him. he has abused the appointing power
to subserve private interests to the detri.
ment of the Democratic party, he has NJ
right to expect glorifcation, nor need hi
feel aggrieved if Democrats refuse to sup
port man who, while owing his position
to Democratic votes, stulties himself anC
renoaoces his friends by playing into thu
