Now that the succession of Mr.. Arthur
is an assured fact, speculation is rife as
to what effect upon the general interest OF
the country, a change of administration
will produce. If there is any pertinency
in asking such question, the answer must
of course depend upon the extent of that
change. We think there will undoubtedly
be some changes in the Cabinet, for there
are certain members of the present Cab
met (Mr. Blaine for instance) who could
no more desire to retain their present posi-
tions, than could Mr.. Arthur desire to re-
tain Them and at the same time preserve his
own individuality and moderate amount
of independence, However the case may
be, we predict there viii be no serious
effects upon the material interests of the
country. One merit of the American sys-
tenn is that it is not dependent upon the
life of any single individual. During the
time the President has lain
between life and death the public mind has
been enable to recover from the first shock
of excitement occasioned by the first news
Of the assassination and is now prepared to
deal nationally with the question OF the

CORN RAISING.

The corn crop of the United States is
the most important crop raised IN the
country 1t may be called the basis OF our
agriculture, for not only is corn bread
material and largely used as such by
great portion of our population, but 1t Is
the cheapest food for animals, and is cas-
ily convertible into bacon, beef, mutton,
milk. butter and cheese, and working
muscle for horses and oxen, not to men
ton its convertibility into spirits, glucose,
and other articles of consumption. A fair
corn crop is about 1 SOC, 100000 bushels.
This years crop is estimated at only 1,ooo
OO0, 900, deficiency of one third, and 1t IS
a proof of the immense Importance OF this
crop that the deficiency for the present
year has already affected the prices OF all
other kinds of grain and the general cost OF
living.
And yet, dependent as we are upon corn
for sustenance and comfort there is, per
haps, no crop SO neglected in its cultlva-
ton. It is planted III this latitude all the
way from the 18th of April to the 10Th of
June. in ground rudely plowed once and
rarely or never fertilized 1t may be cult
waited two to six times, and though each
cultivation adds to the strength of the
plants and increases the yield, 1t is often
s1laid bv'' with half the number of plow-
ings it is entitled to, and little precautlon
is taken to protect it against the accident
of drought There is no fact better known
in Western farming than that a corn crop,
well put in at the right time and well cul-
tivated afterward, viii yield half to two
thirds more than crop on the same land
carelessly put in and poorly worked. Forty
bushels to the acre is called fair crop; if
the season is favorable the yield will be
sixty bushels on good soil, and in rich bot
tom lands in southeast and Central Mis-
souri, seventy-five bushels may be had-all
this without fertilizing. But experiments
prove that, with a liberal use of fertiliZlng
agents and through cultivation, 100 to $50
bushels of corn may be raised on an acre
of ground 1t will be said that western
farmers cannot afford the costly expert
ments required to produce such large yields
as this. Perhaps not; but when it is re
f1ected that it costs no more to raise 1000
bushels on ten acres than the same num-
Der of bushels on twice as many
acres, it will be admitted that it is
worth while for every farmer to do the
best he can with the means at his command
and give his corn crop every advantage he
can give to it.
1t has been observed that while late corn
was nearly ruined by the drought of the
late summer, early corn win yield a fair
crop-and this may be formulated into a
general rule. The droughts in the West
are summer droughts; they rarely begin
before the first of July. But corn planted
early say by the middle of April or even
in the latter part of April, and brought
rapidly forward by constant plowings, will
make itself by the first of July-showina
that farmers have in their own hands
partial protection at least against droughts
| if they win but apply it-st. Louis Rep'so

protection. The New York World has this
to say
Mr. Jennings cable letter to-day Informs
us that the agitation for that form OF pro.
lection called in England fair trade is
likely to gain very great Roadway before
Parliament meets again. The election
during the week of two members of the
House on fair trade platform is likely to
make members who sit for CLOSE districts
go very warily in unfolding free trade in
the face of such foreign competition as
that which is now fe.t by all classes of men
in Great Britain. 1t is not to be wondered
at that when Englishmen see a protection
list country like the United States prosper
ing at the expense of a free trade country
like England, they should be inclined to
attribute the difference in prosperity not
to its real causes but to the difference in
commercial policy. Tt would be curious
and it is not at all an impossible, tcrmira-
ton of the war of tariffs, which is nearly
as old as our Government, If the farmers
of the United States should force free trade
on the United States while the farmers OF
Great Britain were forcing Great Britain to
return to protection.

This morning the remains of Presider

This morning the remains Of President
Garfield were taken to Washington; there
to Law in state The remains A sad though
the word conveys. Bot short time ago
our President was carried over this same
route He was a sick man then, but 1t
was hoped that the journey would do him
dood. Get him away from Washington
and all will be well said the doctors. II he
can leave malaria behind him there is hope
cried the people. He must be got away
from Washington, If he hopes to live; he
must leave the infectious place; get him
away, was the popular thought and he was
taken away, taken to place of cool breez-
es and pure air, place where health was
supposed to reside and where new Wig
or would permeate his exhausted frame
For that result the journey from Washing
ton was made; in that hope was the risk
taken. The news of his trip was joyful
news He is getting better every mile, the
reports declared, and 1t seemed as il our
President was to be restored to us. Hope
beat high in every breast, and the nations
hope seemed about to be fulfilled. The
change has been successful thought all.
The pure air Of the ocean will soon bring
him back to health. This was the thought
that inspired the journey; such was the
hope which sustained the people.
And to-day he returned over the same
route. Returned? yes; his remains. says
the cruel telegraph. His remains The
dead and inanimate body of what was
once the strong and vigorous man. The
helpless clay which had contained the spir-
it always proud; the brain which had gov
erned men; the man who had passed ovel
that road the few brief days before was
the President of our Union. The remains
that went back were senseless form; a
semblance of what had been. The Presl
dent of the United States had gone from
Washington to Long Branch; the dead
body of James A Garfield is being taken
back. So soon has his glory departed
He was, but is no more. The semblance
remains but the substance is wanting. He
went up that road sick man, but there
was hope of his recovery; he goes back
dead

Elections will be held in eleven States
this year-Iowa, Massachusetts, Maryland
Minnesota, Mississippi, New Jersey, New
York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and
Wisconsin. Only in Iowa, Massachusetts
Ohio, Virginia and Wisconsin are govern
ors to be elected. Some of these states
elect half Senate, and some third. Penn
sylvania elects full Legislature, but nc
governor New York, in addition to par
tial board of state officers, assembly, and
half the senate, elects representatives to
Congress to fill vacancies In Minnesota,
Mississippi and Virginia the Legislatures
elected will choose United States Senators,
but no political change is anticipated in
either cases. The most interesting election
viii be in Virginia, where Malone and his
followers are making it lively.
