In Fracne grain has made fair pro.
gress, but the tone of the dispatches is
not over confident; late frostS and ad.
verse weather have injured the grain
in some sections, while excessive dry
ness has been disadvantageous in
others.
In Holland the weather has been too
cool to admit of vigorous growth,
and the outlook is such as to cause
more or less uneasiness among farmers
md the trade.
In Germany wheat has been retard-
ed by cold, backward spring. Stocks
of both rye and wheat are low, and
held more firmly in anticipation of a
very moderate yield and late harvest.
In Hungary and Australia the wealth.
er has been equally as unfavorable as
in Germany. Wheat and rye are back
ward, old stock meagre, and only offer
ed at an advance in expectation of a
light yield and higher prices when the
anticipated deficiency becomes more
fully known. In Roumania an equally
unfavorable condition is reported.
Hence there is no signs to indicate that
Europe will. under the most favorable
circumstances from now until harvest.
produce more, if as much grain, avail
able for human food, as it did last
year.
In view of the fact that the Europ.

or four weeks later than usual, and

dom and the Continent are virtually
destitute of supplies. it is quite certain
that they must continue to draw freely
on this country to supply their wants
for some time to come. This pros
pectiye demand, and the possibility of
the United states having but small
surplus of wheat above the usual needs
of home consumption for expectation,
is certain to send prices to higher
figure than at present.-lFarmers Re-

THE INDIAN.

Secretary Krkwood seems 10 have
made hit in his Indian policy. How
| it will work out remains TO be seen.
1t is announced that Indians will be
given an opportunity to assist in the
dealings Of the government with its
red children. +. Lahesche, full
blood Indian. brother Of the noted In
dian maiden, bright Eyes," has been
appointed to cerkship. He Is
said to be a young man of fair inteli-
gence and good habits. All the educa-
cation he has was received at the
Omaha agency in Nebraska. Other
appointments will be made from the
young men now attending the Hamp-
ton school, when they become suitably
qualified. 1t is thought that such a
course will eventually result in closer
and more cordial relations with all the
tribes and bring them more into har-
mony with the spirit and interests OF
our laws, and customs. Sharing them
selves as far as competent in the adj
ministration OF affairs much present

experiment is at least worth trying.
A rumor reached the ear of James
Monroe, who was then senator OF the
United States. and prominent leade,
of what was then known as the repub-
lican party, that President Washington
thought OF nominatingAl Alexander Ham.
ilton as Minister to Great Britain. The
rumored nomina ton did not please Mr.
Monroe. and in letter he requested a
personal interview with the president
on the subject. Washington. appre-
hending. with his accustomed caution.
that such an interview might prove to
be bad precedent, handed the letter to
Mr.. Edmund Randolph, who was his
secretary OF state, desiring him to give
an official opinion on on the point. Mr..
Randolph made an elaborate reply, in
which he said
If were to examine the question
upon abstract principles, | should saw
that no senator ought 10 recommend or
oppose candidate by any representa-
tons. except of fact, made beforehand
to the president, for he will have his
vote upon the nomination, ana 10 rec
Ommend is promise to support. and
to oppose is d declaration to thwart the
nomination. neither of which Is exempt
from lndecorum.'
Washington declined the interview,
and sent note to Mr.. Monroe. inform
ing him that he would receive any COM
munication from him in writing relat-
ing TO the qualifications of Alexander
Hamilton for the office. and that he
himself was alone responsible for the
nomination. According to Mr.. Conk.
llngs theory. but not according to the
the theory of the constitution. WASH
ington was guilty of a greyious otfense
against senatorial dignity. He declln-
ed to be advised one way or the other
as to making the nomination. 1t was
enough in his opinion, for senators to
give their advice when the question
was constitutiOnally before them. The
idea of Mr.. Conkling- that senators are
practically to make nominations. as
well as to confirm or reject them-be-
longs to a later age in the history of the
United StateS.-IndepeudeM.
