THE cOMRINITION.

Out Of their own mouths do they contra
dict themselves. 1t will be remembered
Tint about the only plea set up in justifca-
ton of the action of tho Commissioners
and Auditor in feeding the Sentinel so boun-
tifully at the expense Of the tax payers,
was that it had a larger circulation than
the JOURNAL, and that il was in the int
crest Of the parties interested in ditch a..
sessments. That they were as insincere in
this as in other matters can readily be
seen by their publishing the spportion'
ment Of Ditch No. 332 in last and this
weeks Sentinel. There are a good many
thousand dollars to be involved in this
proposed improvement (?) but TO crafty n
petty spite against the JOURNAL for dar-
ing to open its columns to the tax payers
who are the interested parties, to criticize
the action Of these officials, and more
particularly the infamous law which
gives the power to officials TO take such lib
critics with their property, they will pub
lish the apportionment OF this ditch in a
paper that has but few readers upon the
line OF the proposed improvement. We
think we can safely say that the JOURNAL
has five readers to the SentineTs one on the
line Of mS. f AiEA Th @ oTRkS es q ss
ago in June, and it ia natural to suppose
that the interested parties would look 10
The same source for their assessments. But
ii is most probable under the modern plan
OF assessing the Taxpayers OF the county
that they want as few TO he made acqnaint.
ed with the facts Ss possible.
1t may be that these officials are feeling
sore over their failure to get resolution
endorsing their past action even endorsed
by the committee on resolutions in the
county convention. Had it passed the
and tho convention il would
h1ve been a reflection on every other
county officer against whom we have not
heard word Of complaint from any source.
But one OF The most plausible features of
the situation that presents itself to our
mind is, that there was too much money
in this proposed improvement TO allow it
to go beyond the boundary of the ring
which has been 30 thoroughly organized 10
specu late off the people.

ED. JouRSAL There Is nothing Of
any especial importance TO report from
here. Farmers arc quietly and busily at
work gc,ting IN their wheat and oats and
have very little time for anything else.
The season has been remarkably favorable
To nearly all kinds Of grain, &c, aud the
prospects are, farmers will have an ahund.
ant crop this year Grass was comrarn-
lively light owing to the dry weather dur
ing April and May. But wheat, oats,
corn, 80, promise a better yield on an
average than we have had for ycarA The
June rains came inst in time. 1t is the
general opinion here that il the Spring
drouth had continued two weeks longer
neither grnss, wheat, oats, &c. would have
amounted to much. A certain piece Of
wheat here, on high stony ground, was lit
orally "dricd mp" before the June rains.
But il all revived after the showers, and
the Weld will be at least % bush. to the
acre. Also some potatoes planted early in
April were not expected to yield even the
seed. The potatoes sprolted at first but
didn't make their appearance above ground
ior.more than weeks after planting. After
the rains they grew rapidly and now there
ia fair crop Of good quality, The soil is
gravelIy limestone, mixed with sand-high
and dry. Yet this same land was assessed
OH Ditch 26l at 50 per acre. The owner
OF such land wouldn't object so much to
special assessments for irrigating us for
ditch purposes. Truly it must be said the
favorable weather we have had this sea-
son has accomplished wonders for lhc far
mers in thispart of the country. HIS.

Gloomy Prospects for British Farmers

Mr.. Cnmissus, United States Consul at
Bristol, England, in dispatch TO the De-
partment OF State, reports exceedingly
cold and wet weather in that part Of Eng.
land. The consequences will be n greater
scarcity in crops and increased demand
for American products. The Consul gives
a gloomy account Of the prospects Of Brit
ish farmers. Landlords, including the
Prince OF Wales, have reduced rents from
10 TO 80 per cent. much larger reduc-
tion is required il the farmers would COM
pete with American importations. Parli-
ment strives in vain TO meet the difficulty,
and protection is discussed. The rental
paid by farmers is about thirty dollars an
acre. The total annual rents of the
farms OF Great Britain amounts to $780,
100000.
