Heavy stOrm-Encouraging Outlook
 

Heavy StOrm-EncouraGfAg Outlook for the Crops. CHICAGO. July 9.-A heavily southwest erly rain storm visited Chicago this morning. The storm was general throughout the North west and great damage to the crops will un- doubtedly ensue as abundant rain for all pur- poses had previously fallen, and little too much for the good of the harvest Specials from great number of points in Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Da- kota and Michigan give a most encouraging account of the harvest prospects up to the present. Previous reports are more than confirmed in regard to the wheat yield
 which is said to be far in excess of any pre- vious yield. There are local exceptions where rust weather killers and chinch bugs have damaged it, but hardly enough to be noticed in general review of the condition
 of the crops.
 CHICAGO, July S.-The following is taken from the reports to the Times concerning the wheat crop:
 Minnesota-Steele county-The prospects are good for large crop. Goodhue county The crop was never looking better at this time of the year.
 nlinois-Winnebago county-The pros- poets are unexpectedly good, and the condi- tion of the crop is more promising than for many years. Stephenson county-The pros poets for large crops are fattering and the farmers are jubilant. Lee county-The win ter wheat was generally killed. The spring wheat amounts to nothing
 Iowa-Johnson county-The winter wheat was almost entirely killed and the ground has been replanted with corn. The acreage of spring wheat is the smallest of any year. and
 may show a half crop. Monroe county Farmers from different parts of the county say that the wheat crop is considerably dam aged by the chinch bug. Cerro Gordo coun- ty-Early sowed wheat is very promising, but the later sowed crop is slightly damaged What little fall wheat was sown last year was all winter killed. There may be an average crop.
 Wisconsin-Lafayette oounty-The winter wheat is an entire failure. The spring wheat promises to yield largely with decreased acreage.
 Michipan-Calhoun county-The wheat is in an excellent condition and never looked better There will be larger acreage than for many years past. It's appearance is all that could be expected, the berry being full and plump.
 CHAMPAIGN, July S.-An extended tour of observation through the counties of Vermil- lion, Champaign, Macon, Slatte, Douglass and Coles shows the wheat crop to be unpre cedented. The average is double that of last year. The grain is all saved and threshing machines are busily engaged, and by another week the grain will be rapidly moving toward the seaboard. The yield and quality is above the expectations of the most sanguine, and double that of last year. Farmers in antici- patton of low prices for corn, have been pay ing more attention to cattle and hogs. Owing to the fact that there has been very little cholera for the past two years, there will be an unusually large number for the market this fall.

THE MILITARY RAILWAY TO
THE RIO GRANDE.

Private advices from Washington GO
to show that the bill providing for
the San Antonio and Mexican Border
railway is meeting with much favor.
Gen. James W. Barnes, president of the
company, is on the ground, as he has
been for nearly two years, showing the
importance of tins line, not only as q
military necessity, but as the greatest
ciyilizlng influence that could possibly
be made to prevail on the border. As
stated, few days ago, this enterprise,
as it now stands. is in the hands of ex-
cellent citizens of Texas, who propose
to use their best endeavors to do all in
their power, now and In the future,
for this state, and we earnestly hope
they will speedily succeed in their uu-
dertskings. The Importance of the
line from San Antonio to the Mexican
border at Laredo is incalculable, not
only to Texas, but to the entire coun-
try. This road would connect at San
Antonio with the Pierce road and with
the International, and also, in time,
with the Missouri, Ksnsas and Texas
railway, and within two years after the
bill becomes q law, 1t is said, this mill
tary line to Laredo will be completed.
II this bill become Q law, and the
people of Texas deyoutly hope for
such result, there will soon be Sc
cured that outlet which We have in
vain hoped so long for, by which the
hsppiest results to both this country and
Mexico would ensue. For years COM
psnies having lines of railway pointing
towards the Rio Gande have failed to
meet promises, and it has been demsn-
strased that government aid is one Of
the necessary things to be secured in
accomplishing railroad connection be-
tween the two countries. Now it APP
pears that Gen. Barnes active Interest
in building . railroad 10 the border in
sures its success, and We hope every
Texan viii aid in securing the passage.
a. an early day, of the bill introduced
BY Mr.. Epson.
Our Senators and Representatives
cannot serve the people IN any enter
prise more lsudable than this one.
With the endorsement of the road
by Cen Sherman and the Secretary Of
War as military necessity, We fee
sure Of the ability Of our able delega'
ton in Congress to pass the bill at thiI
session, and all Texans viii rejoice L
know that c home company hsv'
had the enterprise and pluck nee
essary to putt through.

up articles of incorporation for the
Nicaraguan canal company, with Grant
at the head of the list. Everybody
knows that Grant won't subscribe a

else pays it for him; and anybody that
ever heard Of this modern would-be-
Cesar knows that there would be no
limit to his personal demands on the
company for money. His name in con-
nection with this affair, as it does in
politics, involves a presidency, and
that is all he cares for either. he
would take both or either, and will

POLITICAL NOTES.


No greater or more humiliatiDg con-
fession Of Republican weakness has
been made than through the introduc-
ton of the bill to choose presidential
electors by congressional districts in
the NV York Legislature. The New
York Republicans acknowledge that In
square popular election they can't get
the electoral votes of the State, and ad-
NIT by Delcour Potter's bill that they
are in q minority in the State.
The colored Republicans are holding
meetings all over the North to denounce
the Republican party for using them as
tools to put white Republicans in Of
fee. They say, if ''eqGal rights" mean
anything, they must have goodly
share of Federal and other offices.
They have been dosed with equal
rights" so long, and kicked down the
back steps so often by their beloved
friends, that they are tired Of the pro-
cess.
The difficulty about the whole Presi-
tisl question IS it is now being consid-
cred appears TO be want OF harmony
that il, to find great and good man
with whom all he other crest men har-
monize. When you get down to the
bedrock you will find the want of bar
mony generally grows out of sel6shness
and personal ambition. On the Re-
publican side we are told that Logan
and his friends will not allow Wash
burDe's name presented from Illinois,
that Conkling and his friends will not
allow Blaine or any one connected with
present Administration to carry New
York, while on the democratic side it
is claimed that til den will not allow
Hendricks or any ore who antagonZas
him to carry New 70 k, and that Mr..
Hendricks will not allow Tilden or
Bayard to carry Indiana, and so on to
the end of the chapter. We have de-
cided impression that men do not carry
whole States in their vest pockets, and
that before the tickets of both parties
are nominated some great men will dis
cover this to their great surprise and
discomfort.
