Wendell Phillips, in an article in
the last North american ReUieW,
boldly states that the responsibility
of the Presidents assassination is
behind Guiteau, and that to hang
him for the deed will prove q foul
blot upon the e%scutcheon of our
country and prove a stain that can
not be rubbed out. If some poor
devil of a Democrat would make such
an assertion, some one would immed
lately knock him down and receive
an office for his eXhib ton of what
is termed patriotism. But it make
a great difference whose OK does the
goring.

The fact announced from New
York that Mrs. Abraham Lincoln is
in that city in such Il condition of
poverty that she is forced to appeal
for charity, is exceedingly diseredi-
table to the American people. 1t
will occur to a good many people. no
doubt. as being q strange state of af-
fairs where the mother of a Cabinet
officer Of the government is obliged
to appeal to public charity for the
lei to live. And when the people
have fastened to enrich the widow
of Garfield with a magnificent sum
of money, sufficient to maintain her
and her family in luxury all their
lives, the widow Of Abraham Lincoln
lies stricken with disease among
strangers and without money enough
to pay for medical attention.

AS a sample of the frauds perpe-
trated in the Treasury Department
under the management of John Sher-
man, we copy from the report of the
Committee appointed by Mr.. Win
dom to make an examination, the
following extract:
"We find that during the months
of January and February, 1880, there
was paid to j. B. McMullen, out of
the appropriations fuel, lights and
water for public buildings, 1880: the
sum of $1,000 for the right 10 use
the Hazleton device for decomposing
water for fuel on twenty-four boilers.
At the time this examination was
commenced, May 9, 1881, not one of
the twonty-four devices has been at
tached, and it seems doubtful, from
statements made to US by the super
vising architect, whether any of the
rights paid for will be used"

Indiana has a new liquor law
which goes into effect in a few weeks.
1t establishes a new principle in
treating this troublesome question.
The idea hitherto generally main
tanned in such enactments that the
liquor seller is the sole criminal has
been abandoned, and provision is
made for imposing severe punish
ment on those who drink. Persons
guilty of drunkenness are to be fined
for the first and second offenses, but
for a third are liable to imprison-
ment and Acknowledgement; and the
same penalty is prescribed to dealers
who sell to drunkards.

THE SHORT WHEAT CROP.


The total wheat crop ofthe United
States is now but at $685. 62, 600
bushels, against AS, 756, $50 bushels
for 1879, and $50, $40, 1913 bushels for
1880, according to the figures of the
agricultural department. This short
age of more than 100, 1000, 900 bushels
is pretty evenly distributed over the
whole eoantry.-In-every section
some cause has appeared to partially
disappoint the expectations of the
farmers. The New England states
show a regular and constant decline
in production; the Middle states
note a falling off of u per cent. from
last years yield, the Southern states
scarcely hold their own, while in the
important region of the West, the
crop is decidedly short. 1t is not
easy to secure authentic reports from
the Pacific coast, but there will be a
decrease it is evident, while Colorado
and the territories fall considerably
below the figures of 1879. The only
states which this year show an in
crease over the crop returns for 1880
are Nebraska, Wisconsin and Kan
sas. The territory of Dakota, makes
a leap forward of over six million
bushels in two years, but when the
rapidity with which the acreage has
increased is taken into computation
this is scarcely extraordinary. Ill
inois, Indiana and Michigan have
suffered most severely, the yield in
the aforementioned being considera-
bly, less than half of that for either
of the two years Immediately pre-
ceding.
The causes which produced this
uniform effect are curiously diverse.
In California it is a late spring, and
in some sections lack of rain. From
Illinois east and south the drought
of this year has been something ter
rible, while in Minnesota continued
heavy rains delayed harvesting and
did much damage to grain. In the
states lying near Chesapeake bay
there has not been enough rain to do
more than moisten the surface of the
ground for fifteen weeks. Wells are
dry, rivers have disappeared. and
already, weeks ago, vegetation ap
peared as if a heavy frost had pass
ed over it, so completely had it been
killed by the long drought. In Min
nesota more rain fell in the mLnth
of September than in any previous
year Oh record. A gentleman largely
interested in wheat farming in the
Red River valley, who boasts this
year of an average crop of twenty.
eight bushels to The acre. declares
that the disappointment there is
chiefly owing to the carelessness o.
the farmers themselves. He attri
butes lis own success to the fac
that his grain was put in stack as
soon as cut; while others who LEFT
theirs in shock, waiting for the
t~hresher, were overtaken by repeated
rains and suffered severe loss. 1t i:
probable however, hat the shortage
will not infict serious damage upor
the farmers as a class. No case:
where the crop was a total failure, tt
be left standing or plowed under, a;
in previous years, are reported from
any section. The decrease comes
from a general limitation in the ielC
per acre, and thus a part of what
the farmer loses in quantity is made
up to him in price.

The heavy bank failure at Boston,
occurring SO soon after the similar
disaster at Newark, and brought
about in SO much the same way, will
tend to impair public confidence in
the usefulness of the official bank
examiner. A bank examiner who
does not examine is a somewhat su
peffuous parsonage, and though
there is some force in Comptroller
Knox's ~deprecatory remark, that the
official examiner cannot be expected
in the course of a hasty and infre-
quent visit to make an exhaustive
inspection, the apology is hardly one
which the public will be inclined to
accept. II it is impracticable tor

We do not know that it will make
much difference whether "smaIl fry

many fellows who have ''boxed the
political / and lanaed-iate-

besotted Republicans mock honesty
as a good joke and an evidence of
super shrewdness. We believe how
ever, that there are enc ugh decent

some time appreciate the stipend
BUSINESS of the fraud as the result of
this steady iteration on the part of
the Democratic press. Observe this
interesting fact: Chester A. Arthur,
in his letter to George F. Hoar, ac-
cepting the presidency of the United
States, used this language: "There
is danger in intrusting the control
of the whole law-making power of
the government to a party which has
in almost every Southern state repu
dat d oblidatione quite aa=aaorcR us
those to Which the faith of the nation
now stands pledged" Now this same
Arthur, as President of the United
States, uses the influence o. his high
place in aid of a faction DESTROYS of
repudiating obligations of that sa-
credness! 1t is a repulsive fact is
it not? The Malone party, by the
aid ofthe national Republican party,
has geined an advantage that will
enable them to repudiate one third
of the honest, legitimate, recognized
debt of Virginia! There is no chance
of qualifying this ugly fact: no Re-
publican paper has tried to qualify
it. 1t has gone on record, and the
fact will stand till the end oftime as
q warning sample of what mock NOR
ality and mock honesty can accom-
plish.
