licve (for self iuterest). Some farmers
have old corn enough to last them the
year out; this corn crop in some local.
ties will yield from % to 10 bushels per
acre, while perhaps 10 some localities
they will make only good corn sto OK
feed. But the small grain crop was tair
and secured in good condition. Cotton
prospects are good. though 10 some farms

FUN TO CoME.-A number of Demo
ocratic members on Congress have deter
mined to have no more foolishness in this
tariff business, and hence propose issuing
soon after the next session begins "col-
lective declaration" setting forth the
Democratic position. The fun will begin
about that time. The country wants to
know what the Democratic position is.
A great many Democrats want to know;
There is a fog over the public mind, and
the sooner it is lifted the better for us all.
There are Democrats representing manu-
featuring constituencies in Pennsylvania,
New Jersey and Southern Ohio, who
have seen new light on the tariff question
in some districts in Indiana. There is .
wide difference between Democratic lea d
ers, both as to what the position of Their
party now is and what it has been.

POSTMASTER-GENERAL' S RE-
PORT

Postmaster-G General James in his report
to be laid before Congress furnishes the
country with an interesting statement re-
garding postal affairs and recommends
some important changes. He tavors
cheap postal orders for sums less than
$500 which shall be issued in the shape
of a card and sold at fee of three cents.
| The Postmaster General calls attention to
the great increase Of the cost OF railway
transportation of the mails. This he at
tributes very largely to the law that
makes the post Office a common carrier OF
merchandise and claims that this part OF
the service is not remuneratiye. The
profits on letter postage he holds are all
consumed in meeting the losses on second,
third and fourth class matter. He is
strongly of the opinion that third and
fourth class matter can never be made re-
munerative. But to remedy this be does
not recommend an increase in the rate of
postage, but his remarks show that.a dis
continuance of the transportation of mer-
chandise through the mails would be
agreeable to him. When the Postmaster
General strikes at this feature of the post
alsservice he interieres with popular idea
with the people. The conveyance OF small
packages has become a great public ne
cessity, for which there is no such accom-
mediation as that furnished by the mails.
There being no competition in the ex-
eess business, the rates for the transpor-
tation of small packages by express would
in probably a majority of cases exceed
the value of the article transmitted.
Rather than see this branch of the postal
service given up the public, we appre-
bend, would be almost willing TIC have let
ter postage increased to make up for the
deficiency said to be occasioned by the
transportation Of merchandise through
the mails Postmaster-General James
believes that reduction of letter postage
from three to two cents will be possible
within three years We believe the peo
pie generally would forego without MUIR
muring the reduction of letter postage for
the sake of having retained the present
popular system Of transmitting merchan
disc through the mails.

WE hope the report is true that Hon
E. d. Coe editor of the Whitewater Reg
lister, intends allowing Misrepresentation Of
his name as a candidate for chief clerk OF
the next Assembly. Nothing would meet
the approval of the Republicans of this
portion of the state as well as his election
to this responsible position. A service OF
two terms as member of assembly renders
Mr.. Coe conversant with the duties of the
Office and no one doubts that he would
make one of the most competent clerks
the Wisconsin Assembly has ever had.

ARTHUR LEROY, who murdered and
robbed Mr.. Gold in a railway car and
threw his bodyS out of the window, in
London, last summer, WAS hanged in
that city yesterday. There is no "fooling'
with murderers in England. This fellow
was tried within a reasonable time after
his crime was committed, and the penalty
followed in a fortnight after the trial
The law and the court of that country,
unlike those of some of our States, are
evidently designed to punish crime, in
stead of holding out inducements to harp
lawyers to make heroes of great Grimm
zs.

bonds were refunded, her income was
over $4,000 per year, and it is now owe.
