WE'RE ALL HONEST.

We all are honest-oh, of courses;

Brings into town his apple crop
The biggest apples on the top.
That's proper
The parson, feeling rather blue,
Declines to write sermon new
And makes an early effort do
Who'll know 1t.
The lawyer-but alasl shrink
From saying just what think
pause TO WAX large-SIzed wink.

The doctor, having little skin.
Rolls up 4 very harmless pill
Il cannot cure It cannot kill.
That's human.

His meat IS somewhat r=cstlS" bones,
And adds 81 bought EN-. IN such tones
As bushes doubt.

And thinking Of this citizen,

The deacon says his prayers arise,
Without an effort to the skies
1t takes him hours to memorize
The"boTrowed" ones.
The editor-but here pause;
God bless his calling and his cause,
And pardon him whene'er he draws
On his imagination
We all are honest-tc be sure,

Cropa IA inc Northwest.

ST. PAUL, MINI, July 15.-NOthing
has transpired to change the hopeful
indications for bOuntifu wheat harvest
in all parts of Minnesota, Dakota and
Wisconsin this year. Wheat is looking
splendidly in all sections, and while il
is now at the critical stage, in or getting
in the milk, the weather remains as fine
as though made to Order-cOOl days and
with frequent showers The frequent
rains intcrfered with the curing of the
hay crop. The corn crop is backward
but many farmers think they will have
fair crop. Barley looks we'll and will
be ready TO harvest in about ten days.
Oats look good anu promise large
yield. This is the general condition
throughout Minnesota, and should no
unlocked for event occur between now
and harvest time, it will be safe to- esti.
mate the yield of this state at 40, 0OO, 600
bushels and over.
In Dakota, the universal report is that
wheat never looked better, and a largely
increased yield is promised

THE INTERNAL TAX BILL.

The republican senators in caucus de-
cided to continue the consideration of
the bill for the reduction OF internal
taxes, etc, during the next few days, and
then be guided by the circumstances in
regard to the ACCESSIBILITY of interrupt
ing ,the consideration by bringing for
ward the remaining appropriation bills.
This decision was based on the hope that
the tax bill may perhaps be brought to
a point of passage within the next few
days, as the general debate upon it APP
pears to be now nearly exhausted. The
caucus took no action on adjournment.

1t seemed to be the general impress
sion that congress will adjourn at the

ABOUT THE STAR REUTERS.


Gossip al1oIt the Government Man
aEement of the Cases
WASHINGTON, ID. C., July 16.-The
announcement last night that the gov
ernment would submit portion of the
salisbury and Parker star route cases
to arbitration causes much comment
here. Mr.. Salisbury held contracts
at the time the star route frauds were
nrst unearthed, the pay on which was
more than $1,OO0,0 900 annually. Brady
granted large increases of pay on several
OF these routes for Increased trips and
expedition of schedules. 1t was assert
ed that salisbury Was a member of the
ring, and that he would be one of the
persons indicted for conspiracy. There
has been much gossip about the manner
IN which the government managed the
Salisbury and Parker cases before the
jury.
Mr.. Bliss says that he discovered the
jury would not indict either of the men
at the time when they were In great ire
pidation lest the presentments should be
found, and that he accepted their offer TO
arbitrate worry gladly. The people here
who have lost confidence'in the ability
of the government TO sustain the charge
of conspiracy of the Dorsey combination
say that il seems strange that Bliss
should compromise with men who were
marked for criminal prosecution, and
whose offer 10 compromise was primG
faeiG evidence of their guilt. The total
smount of services held by the Salisburys
and the Parkers was very great. On the
twenty five routes originally let to Sails
bury for $2SS. 733 the annual pay was
raised to $717, of which $307, 200 was
for expedition. On thirty-four routes
held by the Parkers, the original pay
being sis, Jag, additions were made
and the SaulisburYs and Parkers held u
temporary contract to the amount of
nearly 1925 600 per annum.

BALLOT AND A Fam COUNT.

FREE BALLOT AND A FAIR COUNT.
Democrats are more j iterested in
having a free ballot and fair cleo
ton than the Republicans are. not
withdrawing the usual howl is nov
coming up from every Republican
camp, from one end of the South to
the other, about how the hated
"bOurbonsq are preparing to stuff
the ballot boxes and count the Re.
publicans opt. The democrats,
however have a good deal more to
fear from a corrupt use iof money
than the republicans have to fear
being counted out Of the ballot
box, for the very good reason that
Jay Hubbell's assessment cOrrup-
ton fund affords The republicans all
the advantages the money can give
and the democrats have to make
their fight alone upon the superior
merits OF their candidates and party
principles which they are advOcat-
ing. Bot whatever may betide, we
must have a fair election. The
success of either party isl tritllng
matteH compared with the impor.
lance of securing:free and nnbought
elections. 1Ehe democrats cannot
20 into the business of buylng'vOtes
as the republicans are doing in sew
eral districts in the State. Hence
the necessity of strainns every
effort to win OH fair and honest
principles. lfevery democrat will
turn out and do his duty between
now and the election, there is no
reason to fear defeat. ,Phe true in
terest of democracy lies on the side
Of honesty, and by it we must
achieve success. Let us make up
in energy, vigilance and zeal what
we like in purse. Jay Hubbell'S cor

still the democracy will write victO.

All the d~iscordant elemants ofthe
Democracy ofNew York have been
eliminated from the party, which
now presents a united and unbro,
ken front from the Hudson 10 the

Cleveland, as a candidate for gov
ernor, has given universal sotlSfac,
ton to the democracy and sent ter
ror to the ranks Of his republican
opponent, All. C~leveland's record
is not very extended, but such as
he h?s is very pure and good, chal-

old sachems of troublesome Tam-
many have nat aside their chronic
fault,tinding and entered into the

Hon. WM. R. MOORE, member OF
Congress from the Memphis district,
recently made a speech which is ad.
ditional proof Of what we have re-
peateily asserted, that the Repub.
Iican party ia'using every effort to
have a high protective tariff contln-
ued, Mr.. Moore, Notwithstanding
the intolerant rant about him, is a
gentleman OF force and intellectual
attainpents, anu ranks among the
ablesTS Southern Republicans. He
ontsp6ken in favor OF a high tar
III for protection. He doesn't
mince matters about "incidental
protection" which opens the door
to tax the cotton and grain inter
ests indefinitely; he is for, 2 tariff for
stralghout protection. VIZ admire
him for his candor, and think he
ranks above Chalmers. Miss Nancy
and the other "incidental protec-
ton fellows" They wish to do by
cunning what he is in favor of do
ing boldly and openly.
The action of all the different
kinds of tariff advocates in the
South, leave no room to doubt the
purpose of the Republicans to cos
tlnue the high protective tariff,
which means a tax Of four dollars a
bale on cotton and one proportion
ately high on grain and nearly all
other products of the soil. The Re-
publican Administration is making
systematic, persistent efforts to
gain strength in the South OF any
sor' lor tine purpose named. 1t
supports Chalmers and Moore with
equal ardor.
In consideration of these facts it
is doubly important TO elect every
Democrat possible. The colored
people r as much interested in
having the unjust burdens remov.
ed as the whites, and they can rem.
der great aid BY voting for Demo
Gratis for Congress. Every Demo
.cratfh the State should vote, and
we trust the State, Congressional
and County Committees will use
effective measures toNget eve ny
