Yolo county has large acreage of grain
this year, equal to, if not greater, than
former seasons. Owing to late rains the
winter-sown was late, but fortunately for
it the months of May and June were cool
and very favorable, so that the farmers be-
came sauguine of good crops even from
the sowing. On some of the high or billy
land there has been perceptible falling off,
in the way of shrinkage, of from 5 to 10
per cent, but this is by no means general,
and rather confined to specific localities.
Most OF the grain on the plains proves to
be of good shipping quality, and although
six weeks ago many complained bitterly of
the prospects, since thrashing commenced
the majority have been very agreeably sur
prised. From the information gained by
conversing with farmers from all sections
of the county, it is evident that the yield
is fair, and averages well with former
years. And grain buyers themselves do
not complain at the average quality of the
wheat. The only thing to be regretted is
that the price is not as fair as the quality
of the yield. Woodland Democrat.

The "srALwAnrs" AND THE CAUCUS

TIE views Of the Conklingites regarding
theobligations OF the caucus, as expressed at
their consultations and otherwise recently,
are peculiar and original, These persons
profess to hold that it was their duty as
party men 60 obey the caucus, bat at the
same time they declare their intention to
vote for Conkling. What they expect to
gain by thus stultifyipg themselves it is
difficult to perceive, unless it is that they
are trying TO make loopho,es through
which to crawl back into the Republican
party when the time comes for the aban-
donment of their dad chief. Bat it is
sufficiently evident that they belong to
that numerous class who hold that regula-
tions are always binding upon everybody
but themselves, They believe that no
csucus which did not nominate Conkling
ought to be obeyed. and though in this
case there Is no question about the fact
that the caucus which nominated Miller
and Laphanl was called by the majority,
these men have the eonsammate impudence
TO bTackguard those who, like General
Sharpe, Gnally conclude to obey the ma
iority. Nothing more preposterous aud
outrageous than this abuse Of the seeding
members Of their ring has occurred re-
Gently, II we except the general course of
their faction. They have no party stand
ing whatever. and never did have. Bat it
is interesting to observe the development
of the Boss system OF political ethics in
tier minds. as shown by the character Of
ne reproaches showered upon Sharpe.
He was tainted with the remark that
Conkling had created him. politically, y
and the implication boldly and
openly made was that since he
owed everything TO Conkling he
ought to serve Conkling and not the peo-
pie. Here we see the people entirely ig-
nored. No sense of obligation to them is
even so much as though. of. Conkling is
referred to as a creator" and the doctrine
is plainly stated tina. his creatures"
ought to be his devoted servants. This is
what the Boss" system inevitably leads
to. These men are ali of them political
serfs, and so perverted as even to be proud
of their shame. They know that the
people are emphatically opposed to their
scurse. They know that they are serving
an individual in utter defiance of the will
al their constituents. Yet they are so
completely demoralized by the system of
which they are the finished products that
they think it a matter of chivalry somehow
to ignore the popular sentiment defiantly,
sad to own their allegiance to their 'Boss'
as a relation to be proud o.. Nothing
more opposed to the theory of American
politics could be conceived. And yet it
Will have TO be admitted that the practice
Of American politics of late years has
tended in this direction Let us hope that
the Conkingites may act as shocking
examples" and complete the popular
revolt against machine" and Boss"
government.

Horse 1'hief. Aust Captured.

After just weeks fatiguing frol-
ic, Perry Austin, of whose daring
piece of theft mention was made
last week, was captured on Sunday
evening in bed, at the home of his
step-father, VIM, Miles, at Cottage
Inn, by our liveryman, Geo. Keeler,
who had taken out papers to act as
constable for the occasion.
Austin claims to have driven the
team as far as Ripon, this state,
where he left it because of not beng
able to pay for its keeping, and that
he had walked the entire distance
home, passing through Dodgeville
and Mineral Point on Saturday,
without being identified. He was
recognized, however, between this
city and Cottage Inn late that even
ing by party who came in and in
formed Mr.. Keller. On Sunday,
keeler, in company with son
of the owner Of the horses,
went to Belmont and was duly made
constable by justice of the peace
Olmstead. In the evening Keeler
proceeded to the residence of Mr..
Miles, and there found young Austin
in bed sleeping. He was aroused
and his arrest perfected, and started
out for Mineral Point. When on
the way the party meet Sheriff Ken.

had been but on the scent. 1t being
quite dark the parties did not know

struck up, and when the Dodgeville
officers learned that Mr.. Keeler had
the man they were looking for, they
at once claimed him, but Keeler
would not give him up and came to
this city, followed by the other Of
ficers. On reaching the city Keeler
had to call at JAS. Dunn's house for
the keys of the city Jail, and while
at the house the Dodgevile officers
deliberately took the prisoner by
force, and drove off to Dodgeville.
This action is severely critised by
all who know anything about the
rights of man. Mr.. Keeler is duly
entitled to all the praise for the
capture of the thief, no matter what
the others may claim.

FEARFUL FALL.-Johnny Yates,
engaged as carpenter upon the i'm
provements being made at the City
Hall, met with terrible accident
Monday just as he was about to
commence work foH the afternoon.
He was engaged on the upper scat
fold, a distance Of twenty feet or
more from the stone steps in 'front.',
when the nails holding the boards
suddenly broke, letting him down.
The crash was loud, and those on the
streets were bound IN stocks of fear
while helplessly gazing at him fall.
John was picked up and taken into
DR.. Vivian's. The general cry was
"he's killed." but an examination
by Drs. Vivian and Eastman proved
that only collar boae was broken,
and no serious result visible. Were
it not for the lumber that came
down with him, wl1eh broke the
fall, we question whether John
would be among tao living to day,
as there's little change for person
lighting upon stone steps after a
tumble of twenty feet. We rejoice
over the result being no worse.
