ENGLISH Crops.

London, lS.-James Card, eminent
agricultural authority, writes that but
for the late rains and diminished tenn
perature the hsrvests would have proved
equal to nearly the average OF the years
preceding IA, but miidew has appeared
and will affect the quality of the yield
Of later crops. On two-thirds of the
wheat land the average crop will be
made up by the fineness of the quality.
In the remaining third, even with that
aid, it will be 10 per cent. below the
average. Heavy crops are rare. Most
of them are thin. but we'll headed, aud
there is too common evidence shown
throue hot the country of the diminished
capital of farmers by lower scale of
farming, We begin the harvest year
very bare of the old stock of wheat in
the country. Our annual requirements
ara from 100000 to $4,000, 900 quar-
ters. When the last harvest year is
completed we shall have imported over
I6, 900, 600 quarters. Our own crop this
year will probably yield 100000 quar-
tiers, so il we can reckon on a foreign
supply equal to that of 80, and not at
much over the same price We shall be safe
There is said to be an abundant harvest
in Russia. In France the wheat crop is
believed to be scsnty. Our barley is the
best corn crop of the year, but it has not
ripeneG equally. Oats are extremely de-
fcient, and especially in southern coun-
ties. Hay is so per cent. deficient, but
was generally got in in ene condition.
Msngolds and green crops are rapidly
improving and promise tolerable crop.
Ono of fbo host PaatIlras Of tho eaecon has
been the fine weather fer cleansing the
ground in the spring and early summer,
enabling farmers to get rid OF much of
their load of accumulated weeds of pre-
vious wet years, but they have been
heavily hit by the losses of stock and
sheep. Stock in Great Britain during
the last two years has been diminished by
more than II per cent, there being q de-
crease of 1000, 900 sheep and 1000, 600
lambs since 1879.

rock, accidentally dislodged, struck the
head of Gilmsn, tutor Of the Indiana
University, Bloomington, Ind, render

party proceeded and brought doctors.
Gilman arrived at Zermalt on Sunday
afternoon. He suffers principally from
loss of blood, and will be able to leave
shortly. The guides were apprehensiVe
that if he collapsed before be arrived at

PROHIBITION IN MAINE.

AUGMENTATION IN E.
 In no State in the country has the expert ment of prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors been so long and thoroughly tried as in Maine. The net results of the experiment. there are not, if careful and impartial ob servers may be believed, very encouraging to prohibitionists. It is certain that in Maine. as elsewhere, prohibition does not prohibit, and it is beginning to be seriously asked whether prohibitory liquor legislation has not been real injury to the people of the State.
 Judge Charles W. Goddard recently wrote letter to the Portland Press in which he furnished the advocates of prohibition much food for thought. He compared the statis- tics of crime in Maine in 1851 with 1880, as furnished by the inspector of prisons, and showed that there had been great increase in crime since the adoption of prohibitory liquor Legislation. In 1851 the population of the SGate was 587, ,6SO, and in 1880 it was 64S, ,945, an increase in twenty nine years of only IA per cent. In that time, however, murderers increased 425 cent. man. -slayers, 400 per cent. ; murderous assaults, 133 per cent. ; arson, 125 per cent. rape, 800 per cent. ; attempts to rape, 800 per cent. In 1851 divorce was hardly known in Maine and Tn 1878 there were AIS divorces granted, or one couple out of every 679 in the State. Suicide and insanity have also largely in- creased and youthful criminals have increased in number to an alarming extent. Judge Goddard remarks that great injustice has been done to the foreign born population, particularly to the Irish, 'by the loose talk of many of our writers and speakers" :" who have boasted of the efficacy of the liquor laws, and asserted that were it not for few paddles" liquor selling and drinking would be entirely done away with, and there would be no need of prisons and insane asylums. Out of 199 felons confined in the State pris- on proper the judge says that only 39 are of foreign birth, only IS are natives of Flu rope and only four are Irish 123 were born in Maine. The judge proceeds: During the period characterized by the frightful mul- tiplication of atrocious crime the amount ex- pended for educational purposes in this State has increased in a ratio even greater still and no less than thirty three laws for the suppression of the liquor traffic have been enacted" In closing he says that If multi. tiplication of crime, and especially murder and other desperate offences, the rapid in- crease of divorce and the rapid spread of in- sanity and suicide do not indicate decline in the morals and civilization of State, the lessons of history are worse than useless, D and calls upon the Legislature for thorough investigation by competent commission.
 If prohibitory liquor legislation does not decrease crime one great argument for it's adoption loses it's force We hope that Judge Goddard's suggestion of competent com mission to look into the case will be acted on, so that the world may definitely know what Bprohibition has or has not done for Maine

the qualification rather than in restraint of
 our passions" His Honor added that blas-
 phemy was an ancient common-law offence,
 and was also made crime by Delaware
 statute as long ago as TAO. The punishment
 until 1926 was the pillory, the brand and the
 whip. He said that Ingerson might be ar-
 rested by any officer without warrant, and
 added 'It is, I hope, hardly necessary to say to this community, and to assure the people of it, that if any one shall be convict
 ed of the crime of blasphemy there will be no stint of the full measure of punishment the law now prescribes. And we shall in mo- wise be deterred from the performance of our duty by the sneers of the devotees of any other faith than that of the body of the people of this State or the deprecatory ex- pressions of those who think the right of free speech will be infringed thereby"
 The practice of suing newspapers for libel on absurd and frivolous charges is so preva- lent as to be great abuse, and in New York an effort is making to put check upon it. How an interruptions lawyer can take advan- tage of the libel law in New York is illustrated by the experience of the publisher of trade journal. He prematurely announced in his journal that certain well known firm of brewers had made an assignment for the benefit of their creditors it was published in the regular column of brewers changes, and without any malice. He received day or so after publication threatening letter from a lawyer informing him that he had committed a gross libel. He promised to make a correc- tion in the next number of the paper, but this was not what the lawyer was after and he re- fused that as 8 peace offering. What he wanted was fifty dollars. He consulted his own lawyer and he advised him to settls, and he did so. The announcement was but slight ly premature the firm is now hopelessly bankrupt and the brewery is closed. Five other publishers were victimized in the same way by the same lawyer for the same an- and it was discovered after the settlement that the firm was at the time the report was published in great financial diff culties. Such libel suits are simply black mailing operatiOns

RECENT PUBLICATIONS.

Adam smith," by J. A. Farrar, is the philosophers. It is the purpose of the se- ries, as it is the characteristic of the present work, to give a brief expository account of each philosophers system and method, with such biographical information as may be nec- essary. The editor suggests that this may be the more easily done within small compass in each case, because ''the size and number of the volumes compiled by each leading phil osopher are chiefly due to the necessity, which philosophers have generally consid- cred imperative, of demolishing all previous systems of philosophy before they commence the work of constructing their own" It is the editors purpose to present only the con- structive side of the work in each case, add ing a synopsis of the principal criticisms that have been made upon the system. The se- ries is edited by Iwan Muller, of Oxford Uni versity, and published in this country by G. P. Putnam's Sons. For sale in this city by Judd the bookseller.
 The latest addition to the ''New Plutarch Series'' is 1.-The Caliph Haroun al -Raschid and Saracen Civilization" which Is from the pen of Professor E. H. Palmer. In a well written introduction we have an interesting account of the rise of caliphate, most at- trsctive period of Moslem history. In g se- ries of chapters Professor Palmer then treats of 'sHaroun's Accession to the throne of the ssGolden Prince D of "The Fall of the Bar mecides," of 'HThe Latter End" and of ''Ihe Caliph of the Legend" It is book which was needed, and Professor Palmer is to be congratulated on having accomplished his task with skill and success. G. P. Putnam's Sons are the publishers, and it is for sale in this city by Judd the bookseller.
 Natural Theology" by John Bascom, au- thor of 'tEthics, s'The Philosophy of Re- igion," etc., is published by G. P. Putnam's Sons. The author of this volume says he should not offer another work on natural theology simply as "a renewed presentation of the ingenious construction of the world,'' but because there is new form in theistic argument, he wishes to discuss the subject under its new aspects, and he hopes to add something to the work of predecessors, first in more complete recognition of all the re- suits of scientific inquiry, and, secondly, in pointing out the relation of these facts to an intellectual exposition of the universe. The subjects which he takes under special consid- eration are the Nature and Being of God, the Proofs of the Being of God found in the Or ganic World, in the Vegetable, Animal and Rational Kingdom, and the Proofs of the Goodness of God and Immortality. For sale in this city by Judd the bookseller.

 Seth Green, in letter recently published in the Sun, says that the California moun- tain trout is the coming game fish of the eastern States. They are the gamiest fish alive, and they test the skill of the most ex- perienced anglers to bring them to land A large number of these trout are to be set free in the brooks and streams of New York this spring, and it is believed that the eastern waters contain all the requirements of their nature.
 A Sun reporter asked New York State Fish Commissioner Eugene G. Blackford of Full ton Market yesterday for a description of the California mountain brook trout and its habits as distinguished from the common brook trout of the eastern States Mr. Blackford said: 'sThis California trout is called the rainbow trout, or iridium t0ntiDalis.
