A LATE HARvEsT.-The cable de-
spatch, dated September I'd, which tells us
that many Of the English wheat fields are
still quite green, shows the wide difference
between the grain harvest in the British
Islands { nd in our latitude. Iu Maryland
harvest has been known to commence in
the Southern and Eastern counties as
early as the FIRST week in June, and in the
Western counties the harvest must be very
late if not finished by the Fourth of July.

Investigation III New England.


The Uuited States Senate committee
inyestigatiug congressional elections, and
the Senate committee investigating fed
eral appointments in Rhode Island, have
been taking testimony in Boston aud
in Newport. Testimony was taken by
the latter also as to election abuses and
State laws, aud much stress was laid on
the fact ''the peer forcign-born white eiti-
zen is not allowed to vote in Rhode Island,
but negro may vote and is protected
equally with the richest man in the State,
and that soldiers who served in the Union
army are not allowed to vote because they
we're born abroad and do not own 1884
worth Of real estate In the investiga-
ton at Boston evidence was given showing
that manufacturers concerted together to
influence employees to vote the republican
ticket, and that the employees were watched
when they cast their ballots, and some Of
them intimidatcd aud controlled BY the
employers. In the United States Senate
committee Investigation at Newport, II. l.,
Saturday, testimony was given showing
that bribery in elections in that State was
common thing Cards and checks rep
resenting s. aud $40 each were used
largely, voters receiving them getting pay
ut headquarters, One witness said that
man who had not seen money used at
elections in Rhode Island must be blind.
A man sold his vote, took the money
openly aud went of about his business. In
the Sprague-P adelford campaign ii cost
spngue 100000 and Padelford s44, 900.
Other witnesses testified that the postmas-
tiers and other federal officials were the
active wirepullers and planners Of cam
paigus, and that drunkenness was a com
mon thing among officials,

The London papers have to go back TO
1860 to 6nd weather wet enough to com
pare with that of the last seven months
But 1879 proved the more disagrceable
year Of these two very bad ones. For the
first seven months of 1879 twenty two in
chcs Of rain fell, against seventeen inches
for the corresponding period in 1860. The
average temperature was about the same
this year as 1860, but there have been
longer spells recently of cold weather, for
eighteen consecutive weeks the tempera-
ture being below the average. The Pal
Mall Gazette finds one thing in which
1860 had decided advantage over 1879.
There were 10 the earlier year no forecasts
of the weather, so that the LondOner could
indulge in hopes Of better weather to fol-
low, whereas now he is daily told of fresh
storms that are coming Since the first

Strikes Injurious.


Labor strikes inaict more pecuniary in-
jury upon laboring men than hard times
and low wages Strikes are in progress,
ia one place or another, nearly all the
time, and levy very large per cent. upon
the earnings Of the operatives. It is
scarcely debatcable question whether
trades unions and mechanical associations
do not inaiet more injury upon their mem
bers than will ovesbalanec the good they
confer This may not be necessary re-
suit Of trades unions, but il is result Of
their gross Encouragement. There istoo
little confidence, as general thing, be-
tween the employers and the employed
Their interests are 50 intimately blended
