THE NATION
which is Republican Opinion Of
the Malone Alliance.

Pittsburs LEADER
The adjournment Of the Senate
saved the Republican party, if not
the nation, from a great disgrace. 1t
is a little thing, perhaps, who shall or
who shall not be postmaster Of a town
like Lynchburg, Va. But it is not a
little thing hat the whole Republi-
can party in the United States Senate
should be at the bidding Of a recent
rebel and an avowed repudiator en-
deavor to Dust a brave and capable
Union soldier from that position and
put in an ex.C Confederate Readjuster
on honest State debts. 1t was said,
indeed, that the Union soldier was a
defaulter to the government, but that
has been proved to be a lie, and even
if it we're true, it would be a reason
for his summary removal by the Post
master General, not for making him
the subject of political debate and
action in the Senate. This whole
business of the Republican party
coquetting, and worse, with the Vir-
ginia debt resisters is disgraceful to it.
Few incidents of recent politics arc
more outrageous than the conduct Of
Commissioner Raum, who, two years
ago, was removing Federal officers in
Virginia for countenancing Malone
ism, and this year stumped the State
for Malone; few things more humili-
ating than the explanation Of Mr..
Raum. who, in the exact language
used by Cicero for the worst Of his
trimmings between Cesar and Pompey
two thousand years ago, said that he
had to go with the times" But this
stopping Of the whole party to fulfill
the Lychburg compact is worse in
every respect.

IL is estimated in Democratic circles
that the President may 90 a little toe
far in his efforts to please Mr.. Malone,
and that next season the administra,
ton might need the assistance Of
Democratic support and that Of

Democratic Senators have no fault to
find with President Arthur in his
course, but are pleased with his max
ing haste slowly.

Barrett's VindicatiOB.


Nashville World.l
In Withdrawing his lawsuit against
Mr.. Vertrees, Senator Barrett has
made a mistake. The reason that he
gives is that, two grand juries having
failed to find an indictment, he thinks
his character has been vindioated be
fore the people. Has it ever occurred
TO Senator Barrett that, so far as facts
are concerned, twenty. seven men
are the only ones who have heard the
testimony against him. Twenty have
said on their sworn oatbs that they
thought there was prob.b bic cause for
believing him guilty Of the charges
made. We submit that under such a
set4of circumstances we ace unable to
sec where his complete yindication
comes 10. The public will hardly &C
cept that state Of circumstances as
yindication, though it may satisfy
Senator Barrett. He has made, in
this last step, a mistake. He
should have called and demanded
the verdict Of a jury Of his peers. The
way Wss omen to this, and it could
have been had. What now becomes
Of the Americans position that che
Criminal Court might have deferred it's
action until this case was terminated +?
Again We call for all the testimony in
the criminal case, and ask that it be
published, in order that the public
may see whether Mr. Vertrees has
slandered Senator Barrett, or whether
General Washington has been guilty
Of persecution. We have heard, how
true II is We do not know, that a GER
tain prominent lobbyist has been say
Jog that If General Washington had
this testimony published, he would see
that he was punished. We do not
believe he is the man to be deferred
by such threats.

seekinga cabinet position and no one
has been authorized to seek one for
him. His visit here, he says, is to his
son who is a scholar at Georgetown
College. He has to visit Florida to
hold court very shortly, and would not
have another opportunity to pay his
son a visit for some months, He said
there we're many aspirants for cabinet
positions, and they were working, lie
certainly was not.

cabinet position; he had all the cabi-

The Improvement in Human
Health

1Dr. j. NJ. Granville in Letter to Spectator
In result of somewhat large acquaintance
with the facts held to indicate the state and
progress of "human health" fear my testi-
mony must be given to show that the improve
ment effected by science consists in a prolonga-
ton of the passive endurance of life, rather
than an extension of the period of true vitality,
or any increase of the opportunity for good
work and real intellectual enjoyment We
may olive" longer, but our lives are not either
appier or more useful for the excessive ener-
gy recently devoted to the conservation of
health, or the inordinate means taken to avoid
disease aud death. 1t may, doubtless, be pos
sible to raise humanity to the level of one of
these scientific toys which approximate per-
petual motion, but expend their whole force in
moving themselves. Whether longevity pur-
chased at the price of passing Lifetime in
running away from death would be worth
having, must leave to be determined by the
judgement of those who set value on our So
called sanitary progress, which l, for one, fail
to recognize.
think men were happier and better, and
lived nobler lives, before the pursuit of health
and the yesrning for longevity became a craze,
almost amounting to madness. What to eat,
drink, and avoid, what to wear, where and
how TO live, by what means to avoid infection,
to keep off disease, and to escape death for
few weary and worried years, are questions
which so engross the thoughts, if they do not
embitter the lives of the multitude that the
proposition, "Is sanitary life worth living?"
has come to be a subject Of serious contempla-
ton, and one which the taxed and harassed
community will sooner or later be compelled
to entertain

Northwestern Wheat Crop.

ST. PAUL. Mimi, Aug. 19.-We are Just
beginning to get substantial foundation for
an estimate of wheat crop of the State in the
shape of returns from actual measurements of
the threshing machine. These do not vet de-
mand much modification of the tentative esti-
mates made a week ago. In the Southern and
Minnesota valley counties the returns do not
justify the expectation of more than six or
eight bushels per acre. Many fields are to-
tai failure, will not repay the seed, and are
not worth harvesting. The reports so far
have rarely been definite as to the quality of
the wheat in this part of the State, but it is
scarcely reasonable to expect that much of it
Will grade No. l, except some from the new
frontier counties. In the northern counties
the yield is liberal, though not up to the ex-
travagant expectations of the early hypothetic
arithmeticians.
A dispatch from Detroit announces that the
yield is "a bushels to the acre of good quality.
This figure can hardly be maintained in all
the localities along the line of the Northern
Pacific, though it is probable that 20 bushels
is not an extravagant estimate. The yield
along the main line of the St. Paul, Mime
apois and Manitoba Railway rises about to the
same test, Judging from the dispatches and
from statements received and printed yester-
day. 1t is noticeable that all the reports from
northern localities dwell upon the high
grade of the wheat It is possible though
hardly more in the light of the actual infor-
nation at hand, that the large yield of high
grade wheat in the northern counties may
overcome the deficiency in the south, and
raise the average yield to the customary point
about II bushels per acre. Returns from a
few more thrashers will tell the story.
