M rIrr Crackers or Pistols on the
Fourth. ttbsNtf

We ARE requested by the Mayor 70 call
attention to the fact that the ordinance
anins, the discharge OF fire arms, FIRE
crackers and every species Of explosives,
on the Fourth Of July, within the city
limits, will be rigidly enforced this year,
and that all offenders against the ordt.
nance will be promptly arrested and dealt
with according to law.
We are glad to ses the Mayor taking
this step, and we hope that the police
officers will sec that his order is
ri.iLly enforced. The practice Of ex.
ploding gunpowder in any shape on the
streets is an intolerable nuisance, and a
very silly aud dangerous practice, and has
no more connection with patriotism or a
proper observance Of the day than any
other species of disorder. The records Of
the country show that millions of prop.
erty have been destroyed by such carry
inys.on on tic 4th OF July, to say nothing
of the frightful accidents to lie and limb
TINT have happened. Therefore it is not
only proper but Likewise imperative in the
interest Of the public good that the prac-
iice should be broken up. ....,

Without extending our gaze into the
dazzling visions Of the near future, We
may abundantly content ourselves with
the marvellous prospect Immediately be-
fore us, as a reasonable probability, that
Minnesota will this year harvest a crop Of
nearly fifty million bushels of wheat,
which concurrence OF auspictous condi.
tons may swell to fifty-fye million. This
is by far the biggest wheat crop-if we
raise (which ever burdened the grana-
ries OF any State Of the Union. Its money
value to the farmers OF this State can hard
ly be less than forty million dollars. and
may be much more than this, for all our
European adyices point TO the probability,
rapidly ripening to certainty, that the
wheat crop OF Europe this year will be
short. In n'England there Is no doubt that
the annual deficiency will be largely in
creased by comparative failure Of the
domestic crop, and similar reports come
from the continent-&. Pdd (MMn J Pho.

WASHINGTON, June S0.-To.day was the
last Of the fiscal year, and Treasury off,
cials were busy getting up the annual
statement Of finance OF the, government.
The receipts OF the year from internal rev.
enue were about Sll3, SOC, 900, which is an
increase ofS3,5OO,OOO over the amount Of
last years receipts. This shows an I'm.
proyement in the business condition Of
the country, particularly as during the
the year the tax on tobacco has been re.
duced eight cents per pound. f
The receipts forto,day, the last. in the
fiscal year, amounted 10 $685., ,035, the lar.
gest received In single day for great
while. The gain in internal revenue re.
ceipts is largely due TO the more thorough
enforcement OF the laws in the South.
The receipts from customs this year will
be about $l35, 900 900, an increase Of near

The total increase in revenues ot the
Government has been about ten millions
greater than the last fiscal year, while al
the same time the expenditures have been
nearly thirty.flYe millions more than they
were during the previous year. This Ii
because Of the lavish appropriations Of the
