We beg to submit to our subscribers the fol-
lowing opinions as to the crops and business
prospects in this State. based on close obser-
walton and diligent enquiry made by our trav-
cling reporters who have personally visited
every county.
Not the least important is the potato crop.
In the Aroostook the unprecedented yield OF
1850 induced farmers to plant twenty per
cent more this year. The drouth immediate
" following retarded growth, and the subse-
auent almost continuous rain produced rust ard
rot. The yield opens out, however, better
than was expected. but the general impression
il that the gross results in the State Will fall
far below last years crop and OF smaller size
The hav crop we fear is deficient in quality
and quantity. The wealthiest farmers, with
improved agricultural appliances. harvested
their crop well during the limited good
weather. the majority. however, IN the STATE
were less fortunate. The anticipated advance
may benefit dealers: but we predict the net
result in dollars realized by producers Will
not equal that of last year
Wheat has rusted and is deficient IN guam
,;,v. Oats are somewhat beaten down by
rain. but fair crop. Buckwheat looks well
The impression prevails that fully an av-
erape stock of logs will be cut, though al
vance in supplies will deter some. while
present favorable condition IN the iumoei
market will encourage others to increased
operations. :,, .,
In every direction we notice evidence OF
thrift: increased acreage under cultivation II
Aroostook i. quite apparent; large amount
of new building and repairing OF old ones II
observable all over the State; MORTGAGES can
ccll.d or reduced, and the rate OF interes
lesseued. The demand upon US by suoscrio
ers 10 report new concerns is unusually gres
and is rositive of growth and that the iai
trade among our jobbers and wholesale
dealers will be heavy.

"Strangulatus pro RepubIIca.N


Colonel John Hay, in note published in
the New York Tribune, gives the following
rendering Of the remarkable phrase which
General Garfield attached to his autograph
on the 18th Of July.
The December number OF the Century Maya
zine gives a fac smile Of remarkable autograph
OF the late president written on the 18th OF July
his name followed by the words Strdngiildtus
pro Repubftcd The phrase Is translated by Col
onel Rockwell, In whose presence 1t was written,
and by the editor OF the magazine" Slaughtered
for the Republic Colonel Rockwell does not in
innate that the president himself translated the
words in that way and we are therefore free to
construe the passage as 1t stands. With all due
respect to Colonel Rockwell-whose knowledge OF
Latin is probably better than mne-T cannot help
thinking that the tragic fate OF his friend and
classmate has suggested reading OF the phrase
which II will hardly bear The Latin strdnguldre,
in Its literal sense, applies exclusively to death by
choking or suifocation. It Is derived without
change OF meaning, from the corresponding Greek
verb, which comes in turn from the noun stray
gala, halter. SO good Latnist rs the presi-
dent would scarcely have chosen a word OF such
narrow and inappropriate meaning, when the
word occisus, TO describe death by wounding
must have been ready to his hand. But there Is
a metaphorical meaning Of strdnguldtus which Is
used in the poets and in writers of post-classica
prose- especially writers upon law, which was
probably in General Garfieds mind, as he lay
chained to his bed in that long midsummer agony
The word in that sense means " tortured" or
4" tormeHted." There Is authority for such use Of
II In Ovid, Seneca and Juvenal. All the evidence
we have indicated that on the 18th Of July the
presidents own hope OF recovery, as well as that
Of his attendants, was still strong. May we not
then reasonably infer that this most impressive
and memorable legend means Tortured for the
Commonwealth"

are coming together here from all sections and
this interchange OF thought, resulting in better
knowledge OF the resources Of our country, the
wants and peculiarites OF the different sections
will be powerful factor in the future to restore
humanity and all sectional animosities that may
yet remain. To the new south 1t will have pecu-
liar advantages, for they are fay convinced that
the methods engendered by slavery must be put
aside and be replaced by intelligent labor and
careful personal supervision Of their business Of
ficers. The resources OF the south as evidenced
here are practically without limit, and with capt.
tai judiciously applied must, in the near future
become strong competitor with the west as
great producing section OF our country This ex-
position, like the centennial will be fruitful in
establishments, and will stimulate all sections to
better and more thoughtful business methods,
and better adaptation Of the manufactures OF
the country to the wants OF the consumer to-
