The prohibition question must be
met and decided in Michigan before
long, and probably it would be better
for all concerned hat it be settled this
winter, If possible. At least it might
be well enough to put the democrats in
tn. legislature to tie test. Some o.
them ara alliance men and they should
be given an opportunity to put them
selves on record on the question. The
Republicans will not have the two
thirds vote required TO adopt the pro-

lists would have chance 10 show how
worthy they were Of receiving the up

THE LESSONS OF TIE ELEC
TION.

The result of the mt 'ection Ill
this State may we'll cause every citizen
earnest thought. 1t is full of food foI
reflection on both sides. Wllie the
democratic party may rejoice, The kc'
publican party need not be detected
The ultimate good Judgment OF the
people will triumi II, whatever may br
the apparent detection Of an occasion
al election. This nation and this pco.
pie have passed through too man!
perils. have overcome TOO many obsta
clcs 10 be discomposed by defeat III
! he hands OF tie democratic party;
or rather by defeat of VIII eli the
democratic party will reap the benefit
Tor if anybody is benefited 10y this de
feat it is the Gemociatic party and not
the people.
That party has too long stood as a
stumbling block to national unity and
progress to ever again be entrusted
W I'll the onfdence of the people. Ii
has too often betrayed its trusts II ev-
er again be the chosen organ Of Ma
tional or even State progress. 1t may
be of use as drag. but it can never be
the expression of the political power
of the people. Its recent victory is
more the result OF Republican resent
ment than of democratic strength. -
Even a superficial analysis of the vote
in this State shows that the democracy
achieved its triumph more by the vote
of the bushwhackers and political cos
sacks who hovered about their canlI
and skirmshed in their lines, than tc
party strength. Take the greenback
ers and prohibitionists from the demo
cratic ranks, to which they are onl!
bound by the vulgar tie of plumber
and the democratic party will be shcrI
of its strength When the mercenary
: auxiiaries find, as they are sure t.
find, that a democratic victory mean
i a democratic division of the spoils
" than these guerrilla tribes will revol
and rend the democracy which the
Joined as wreckers.
? The Republican party will also hav
e learned that personal partnership
Is not the outflow Of patriotism nor fh
IL object of good government, and goo
-e government is the mission and only V
r tai force OF the Republican party; goo
he government is the only reason of il
D. being.
" The triumph OF the democratic part
In is the result, not of the political streng
te of that party, nor yet the active opp'
IL siton or dissatisfaction of Republican
u but of the Snaction of Republican
&c who evidently thought that modera
iy chastisement would prove beneficial
men who desired not democratic vi
at tory, but Republican purity. BY I'll

Wheat and Potatoes.

FAVORABLE REPORTS OF THE
CONDITION OF THESE CROPS,
The wheat crop report of the
Department of Agriculture for
this month says: "fhe result Of
the spring wheat harvest Is in
close accordance with the iEdica-
tions Of the August report. The
quality is good aud the yield above
an average. The general condi-
ton of winter and spring wheat,
when harvested, Is represented by
100, an average rarely attained
since the harvest. In parts OF the
winter wheat region, especially in
Michigan and Indiana, some mill
lions of bushels have beea lost by
sprouting in the stack. There has
also been some loss of spring
wheat from the same cause in
Wisconsin and other states. The
Ohio Valley has nearly as large q
product as in 1879. Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois have apparently Sc
cured about one hundred and
forty-two million bushels. The
South has increased both her
acreage and yield per acre. The
aggregate of winter wheat, as in
Dictated by the September returns,
is about three hundred and eighty
million bushels, spring wheat
about one hundred and forty mil
lions, or five hundred and twenty
millions in all. The threshing
test may slightly modify these
figures. The first thresting gener-
ally exceeded expectations. The
later threshing has in many Sec
tons been disappointing. 1t is
quite certain that the per capital
supply Of wheat will not be quite
so large as in 1879 or $780,"
"The cable message from our
statistical agent in London, dated
September IL, is as follows: Re-
ported improvement in European
crops is confirmed. The wheat
crop Of Germany is better than ex-
pected; Of France, full average.
The price Of wheat is constantly
falling everywhere. The Vienna
Congress claims the worlds wheat
supply as above the average"
"The average condition of pota-
toes in August was 101; 1t has fall
en- in September to 90. Last year
the decline during August was
from 92 10 20, and continued in a
greater ratio till harvest. The
is now favorable for a
crop Of not less than one hundred
and fifty million bushels from the
present outlook. The decline has
been heaviest in New England
and New York. The prospect has
improved in Maryland and Vir-
ginia

Done Talk Loudly.

Nothing marks a true gentleman
or lady more surely than low voice;
and man can have 1t as well as q
woman. A loud voice arises either
from extreme carelessness or from
low breeding. No one likes to walk
beside a person in the street who
talks in a loud voice. The same
rules applies to boys and girls. Play
is one thing and conversation an
other, though the former need not
be boisterious. Children may have
good lungs, and use them in cheer
ing when the right time comes but
when they talk, low, distinct voice
marks one who is accustomed to
good society and possessed of innate
refinement.

when Girls are Of Age.
Philadelphia Inquirer.

There is a very prevalent opinion
that girls become of age younger
than boys. This is mistake. A
girl of sixteen years may make will
of personal property /, a boy must be
eighteen years of age. Neither can
make q viii of lands until twenty
one. A girl can marry at fourteen.
Ii she marries under fourteen she, or
either OF her parents, can commence
suit to annul the marriage, and the
court will declare the marriage void,
because she, when married, had not
attained the age of legal consent.
But the husband cannot maintain
such an action. He is bound by the
marriage, and cannot escape its re-
sponsihilities unless the wife or her
parents have the marriage declared
void by the courts. Ii the marriage
is ratified by any mutual assent of
the parties after the wife attained
the age of fourteen both become
bound by it. A minor cannot submit
to an arbitration but may sue or be
sued. In a suit she must appear by
a guardian appointed by the court.
Ii she be fourteen this Is made on
her application of relative. He
who deals with a minor does so at
his peril, as contracts with them are
yodable. III to the minors advant-
age they can enforce them. If not
their minority is sufficient excuse for
refusal to perform. In the matter
mentioned and some others, girls
are recognized 10y law as being more
forward than boys; and at any earlier
age are permitted to act for them
selves. These distinctions are while
they are minors. After they become
adults there is no distinction on ac-
count of age. Boys and girls alike
attain full age when twenty.one and
not before.
