The Crops.


The condition of the crops is in
vested with More than usual import
ance this year, from the fact that the
balance Of trade, so-called, has set
against the United States, and it is
upon the crops that the people must
rely for national wealth. Reports
have been collected from Texas TO
Dakota, throughout the whole valley
drained by the Mississippi river, and
the prospects are cheerful. lncreas-
ed acreage is the general rule, and
the yield promises fully up to the
average per acre. Wisconsin makes
the most unfavorable report, and
even there the prospects are more
favorable than at this time last year.
Wheat is being harvested in Texas,
with fifty per cent. more acreage and
an unusually large yield. The ex-
tent and diversity of our country
can be somewhat appreciated by the
fact that while seeding is going on
at the North harvesting Of the same
cereals is progressing at the South.
The increasing grain must break the
corners and reduce prices to rate
available for expert. As soon as
this is done there will be nothing
more heard of gold shipments, as
foreign people prefer our grain to our
gold if they can get it at fair rates.
With the price Of provisions reduced,
there will not be so much urgency
for increase of wages to provide the
necessities of life, butamidst general
prosperity the wage-earner should be
made an equitable participant, wheth-
er necessary to his existence or not.

strikes, prices and Politics.

If the Republican party in Con
gress is wise it will do something
toward tightening the burden Of tax
alton before 1t adjourns. The out
look for the summer is by no means
as brilliant as could be desired.
Provisions have increased in price,
our exports have fallen of, and there
are strikes and rumors Of strikes all
over the country. Thousands of
working men who are engaged in one
of the greatest of our industries are
demanding higher wages. Their
shops are closed and an angry spirit
has been aroused between their
employers The miners in the coal
fields are dissatisfied and it is freely
predicted that before the summer
ends we shall have repetition of
the bloody and disastrous labor riots
of few years ago.
IT there were any craftsmanship
in the Republican party it would not
obstinately close it's eyes to these
facts and persevere in it's insane poll
cy Of robbing the people Of one hun
bred and fifty million dollars year
more than are needed to defray the
expenses of the Government Under
the pretense of protecting home in
dustry and the American working
man, the supporters of the present
iniquitous tariff are making him
each year poorer and poorer. Sup
pose the industrial situation in the
fall is not any better than at present,
how can the Republican party rea-
sonably expect to be given renewed
lease of power? The panic Of 1873
came at time when, according to
the Republican orators, the country
was never better off 1t swept them
from office. If we should have a
financial set back four or five months
hence is it not very proba BILE that
history will again repeat itself?-N.

THE POND LIQUOR LAW,
Declared DEMONSTRATIONS by
the supreme Court of Ohio.

COLUMBUS, O., May 30-The SUI
preme Court room was crowded this
morning by prominent attorneys
from various parts of the State, and
representative liquor dealers, who
had come to hear the result of the de-
cision in the Pond Liquor Tax Law
The Court refused the writ of manda-
mus, and declared the law unconsti-
tutional on the ground that it is in
the nature of license. Judge John
son dissented.
The decision was concurred in by
Chief Justice John w. Okey, and
Judges WIN. White, Geo w. Ilyaine
and Nicholas Longworth. All sorts
Of rumors were in circulation before
the opening of Court as to the proba-
bic decision, but it appears that those
who were in position to be well
posted were wide Of the mark. The
opponents of the law, who are here
in full force, are jubilant over the
result, and assert that the war will
be carried straight into the camp of
the Smith Sunday Law.
Only the syllabus was in shape
this morning to give to the press,
and Judge Okey is at this momest
writing out the opinions in full.

One of the most elegant works,
illustrating the natural wonders and
grandeur Of scenery to be found in
this country is neat little pamphlet
entitled picturesque Il. Il o., issued
under the supervision of c. X. Lord,
General Ticket and Passenger Agent
of the b. d O. Railroad. The excel
lent style and taste displayed 10 the
matter and Typography, evidences
the most intelligent conception of
what is necessary in work Of the
character of Picturesque b. d. o."
to attract the eve of the traveller and
at the same time afford satisfaction
in enabling one to better appreciate
the points of interest and the natu
raj beauty and picturesque localities
to be seen along the line Of the b.
d O. Railroad. As a work of art it
excels some of the more pretentious
publications, the illustrations being
sketches taken from nature, on which
the best artists have been employed.
To show the high character of this
part Of the work it is only necessary
to mention that seventy of the
drawings are contributed by Thomas
Moran, while the product OF other
artists are equally excellent The
descriptive account is written in mar
rative style, the peculiar charm Of
which is the freshness which peryade
the sketches of historical localities
and the points which are subjects of

Everyone will no doubt remember
that when the Democrats were in

lican minority availed itself of every
means of filibustering to prevent leg
islation The Democratic minority
has lately been following this prece

ship of Randall and others, they
could have baffied the majority until
a new Congress was elected. But
seeing their final defeat staring them
in the face, they flung to the winds
all precedent and fairness and de-
cided by sheer force of numbers to

The best business men in our
county advocate the railroad sub
scription on the ground that it will
prove the most profitable investment
our county can make. The annual
interest on the amount subscribed
would be only $4,000, and the returns
to the county would be enormous.
1t will cheaper everything you buy
that is shipped into the county by
the saving Of freight on it, and it
will make everything you ship out of
the county worth more than now by
costing less to get it into market.
The railroad will in itself add
$500, 1000 to the wealth of the county,
that III turn will be taxed to pay for
itself and tighten our tax that much.
1t will create wealth-far in excess
of any cost it will lay on US.
