SAN Francisco politics are somewhat
mixed, there being a split in the demo-
cratic ranks between the higher class and
the ward politicians, resulting from the
days of kearny rule, at which time the
respectable portion of the democracy
wished to meet defeat honorably with
eolors flying, while on the other hand the
ward strikers we're willing to sacrifice the
party's honor for a share of the public
patronage, and with this end in view they
sold themselves to Kearnyism, resulting
in the formation of the Yosemite Club by
the respectability of the party with the
Enamiaer as their exponent Now the
bolters, finding the party in coed stand
ing wish to return in control, much
against the wishes of the Yosemite Club.
To effect their purpose they have organ
ized the Manhattan Club, and BY united
action they hope to carry their point.
This split Will undoubtedly result in the
defeat of the ticket, which surely will BE-
fall them unless the breach is healed, and
little hope remains Of that tsing accom-
Paahsl

1t is well known that Conkling declined
the tender of the chief justieeship made
by President Grant, but it is a revelation,
If true, that the real reason was the disa-
bility of the appointee 1t is now stated
that Conkling would have taken the place
but that it was found that he Was disqual-
flied by clause of the constitution which
provides that no senator or member shall
during the term for which he was elected,
be appointed to any Office created or the
emoluments of which were increased dur:
ing his term as legislator. The salaries
Of the supreme justices had been increased
during Conklings term. Hence his incl
igibility.

The world seem destined to reap but
sparingly ths year. The reports from
different portions Of this country are so
uniformly unfavorabIe that We can not
expect any such haryests as those Of the
last two or three years. From Europe
the reports were rose-colored few days
ago, but one country Of the old world
after another is coming forward with
dclefui accounts of the condition Of the
crops The French articipations Of a
few weeks ago of being for the first time
for some years independent of foreign
supplies of wheat SEEN Ia have been
dashed by an nnfayorable change in the
conditions, for the last reports gave
promise Of only an average crop, and
perhaps not even that Austria is hoping
for fair crop, but little or nothing be-
yond that A Berlin dispatch says that
the prospect is that the harvest in Ger
many will be much worse than it was las,
yesr, and that the yield will be only one
half or thirds Of the average.
Taking all kinds of grain, and averag
ing the crops and consumption Of the
past ten years. Austria produces $50,
100000 bushels a year, and consumes
$50, 600, 600 bushels, leaving a surplus o.
10000, 900 bushels Germany produce.
850, ,OO0, 900 bushels and consumes ,O65,
U00, 600, and has TO import 1l5,000,VG

Russia would supply western Europ'
without creating any exceptional deinant
from the United States, but as the aver
age surplus Of all grains in Russia i
10000, 900 bushels, while the averag
net deficiency of Europe is 3SO, ,OOO, ,OO'
bushels, the demand for American graiI
of all kinds must be considerable If W,

OVERRIDING it on the other tack. Mr..
Garfield has fortitude and good sense,

that for permanent pasture it cannot be

WHAT difference it makes as tc

he shoots. Everybody detests Quit

but Sergeant Mason and the eccentric

With them. Il would ba almost as
dangerous for jury that convicted
them as for one that acquitted Cult

The STURDY old Wilhelm, En-
peror Of Germany, is rapidly and GER
tainIy passing into the grave. His
loving and patriotic subjects try to
make themselves believe that his
present sickness is merely temporary
prestration from which he will soon
Eecover. It may be their wishes will
be gratiGed. but physical disorders
in a man S5 years of age are rarely
overcome. The Emperor bss lived
nearly fifteen years beyond the al
letted period of mans life, hence
neither be nor his SUBJECTS can reason
ably expect that be will much longer
soiourn on this earth. Bismarck. his
chancellor, and the man who has sc.
cempliehed more, politically, in his
time than any other German, is sp
preaching 20, and having been in
feeble health for years, will not in all
probability long out livethe King who
was made Emperor by him. It Is
believed that the deaths Of these
great men will be speedily followed
bv marked changes in the
governmental affairs Of Germany. It
is known that the Grown Prince aad
Bismarck are frequently at wide vari-
ance as regards state matters. The
Emperor hss nore oonfdsuce il bis
chancaIor than in his son. or the for
mer would have retired long ago.
When the Crown Primes comes into
power, BismArck'S ell powerful infiu
euce will be reduced greatly. If not
altogether destroyed. and it will be
strange if the revolution be not fol-
lowed by an important era in the
mighty empire. Perhapa affairs will
get into such q condition as to encour-
age France to make an effort to settle
a large sized account with Germany,
which has BEEN standing now going
