Crop Reports Encouraging.

The crop reports from all quarters of
the country continue to be very faver-
able, and the season is now so far ad-
vanced that there is no longer reasOna-
BILE doubt that the crops of 1882 will be
among the best, in both quantity and
quality, that the country has ever had.
The wheat crop is already assured, and
is largely harvested. 1t grows better
and better as the harvest proceeds.
Oats will be an enormous crop. The
same may be said of rye, barley and
hay. Potatoes promise well. The only
doubt is in relation to corn. Until re-
Gently it has been backward, but of late
under the influence of the warm
weather it has made rapid advance
ment, and now gives reasonable assur-
ance of a full average yield, with Il
possibility of more, as the weather may
be. The most abundant crops are in
Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Illinois,
Michigan, the Northwest and South
west. In Texas the yield is immense,
especially of corn. The effects of this
abundant yearly harvest must soon be
seen in a revival of business of all
kinds.

A New York Spectacle.

There is work for missionaries and
Christian civilization yet. On Monday
evening $1,000 of the worst class of
people in New York city gathered to
witness a conflict with gloves between
two noted prizetghters and bullies.
The Irish Yankee Sullivan knocked
down "Tug" Wilson, an English bruis-
er, twenty seven times in fifteen min
utes. The conditions were that if Will
son could stand up for four three-min-
ute rounds he should have $1,000. He
won the money notwithstanding the
terrible pounding, Sullivan going
for him with the ferocity of a tiger.
Among the army of thieves and cut
thrOats who witnessed this brutal spec
tacle, was Charles A. Dana, editor of
the Sun, Theodore Tilton, and two
"females." Wilson stood his pounding
like a bull or a mule, and did not seem
much hurt.

Personal and Political.

Pennsylvania has five complete state
tickets in the Cameron, indie
pendent, Democratic, Greenback, and
Prohibition-and the platforms differ
but little one from another. Yet the
fight is fierce.
The indications are that Gov. Cor
nell will be renominated by the Repub-
licans of New York. His opponents
tried to make it appear that he made a
trade with John Kelley last winter at
the time of the dead lock, but if he did
an outsider cannot find that Kelley re-
ceived any compensation. He has
saved the state thousands and tens of
thousands and the bad effects of I'M
wise and dishonest legislation by an
unflinching use of the veto.
1t was ex-Secretary Evarts who said
that the BOG medals should have been
made of beaten brass.
Congress has run the appropriations
up to nearly S30O,0OO,00O.
Senator Window will take a hand in
the LIST congressional district contest OF
his state against Representative Dun
nell, on the principle that one turn de-
serves another. Dunnell has sought
to compass WINDOWS political down
fall. The congressman is i'll distress.
California is likely to have the Sun
day question as a prominent issue in
the approaching campaign. The Dem
Ocrats, at their recent state convention
took bold ground for the repeal of the
law forbidding Sunday traffic, and it is
expected that the Republicans will de-
clare in favor of the law.
The reported resignation of Mr.
Bright from the Gladstone Cabinet
while it deprives the Cabinet of a
trusted adviser, is of no special signiti-
canoe at the present crisis, being sim
ply an expression of Mr.. Bright's we'll
known peace views and his aversion to
forcible interference in foreign affairs.
Senator HOar has been advised to
speak II or ID times during the fall in
different parts of the state, but he is
averse to doing anything that may
look like ''electiOneering' for himself.
He expects that Gov. Long will be re-

End Of "a Famous Railroad
Suit.

The Vermont supreme court, through
Judge Redteld, has announced its de-
cisiOn in the Central railroad suit
which was argued at Montpelier some
time since, and the result is substan-
TALLY a victory for the Smith manage
ment. The question. at issue was
whether the Indebtedness created by
the trustees in the long time during
which they have had charge of the
property, known as the FLOATING
debt should have priority over mort
cages upon the roads and all other
liens and claims, and the decision was
in the affirmative.

TIE BURNING OF ALEXANDRIA.


England has played her game of hell
to the bitter end, and fair city nearly
as large as Boston is in ruins, hundreds
of men have been killed by war and
other hundreds of nOn-cOmbatants
massacred by the hyenas of society
which exist i'll every great city of the
East. There was no adequate reason
for this resort to war on the part of
England, and upon her must be the re-
sponsibility for the destruction of AL
eXandria. 1t is unnecessary to say
that no city of Europe or of America
would have been attacked upon provo
cation so slight. France, the great re-
public of Europe, will be hOnOred for
having withdrawn from this bloody
act, and, if she had protested against
the bombardment, it would have been
still more to her honor Springfield
Republican.
One of the saddest things in cOnnec-
ton with the Egyptian war will be the
appearance of the Tribune war maps.
