Curtains ought to be hung so that they
can constantly be taken down to be
brushed, and, if necessary, cleaned with
bread crumb or bran. 1t is a great econ
omy to have second best set of curtains
to put up during the dark days of winter;
beside, the change is pleasant to the eye,
which gets wearied at always seeing e1-
actly the same color and pattern framing
the outside view.

As TO "ORG-4N"--THEN NEWS SERVICE
A Washington special to this mornings
GLOBE develops the fact that the Demo
Gratis are anxious to establish an s'organ'
in Chicago. There has been spasmodie
movement, lat intervals, in this direction for
several years, but it never has materialized
The fact is, the day for ''organs" has pas.
sed. Newspapers which give the news
fairly, fully and honestly, are what the poo
pie want. The paper should have its political
predictions, but that it should necessari-
ly support all the men and measures OF a
given party, good, bad or Indifferent, be-
ing simply guided by partizan blind
ness, is both absurd and Improbable.
The reason why the Democrats do not
possess a more stalwart ''organ'
in Chicago is because they thsm-
selves prefer the newspaper to
the abject ''organ," and will sup
port the former and neglect the latter
The Times, which the Democracy are now
desiring to purchase, was driven from the
Democratic ranks by the party itself, and
though it is nominally styled Democratic
sheet, it is really greater damage to the
party than if it was an out and out Repub-
ican ''organ." The Inter Ocean fills the
bill as an abject Republican "organ" and
ekes out precarious existence, while the
Tribune, which is pronounced Republican,
but not hide-bound partisan, is the most
profitable metropolitan newspaper west of
New York.
The people have intelligence and opin-
ions of their own, and they do not care to
be eternally RECALLED with cold
victuals warmed over in the
same pan and in the same gravy.
Tae Democrats already have more Organs
than the character" of the support they
give entities them to. Still, it is undoubt
eddy better for the party that this is so,
for instead of being eternally endorsed
and plastered with praise, affording con-
slant example of the blind leading the
blind, they have their short comings and
defects pointed out by their friends, and
are thus aroused to correct evils
in their own organization, which a
system of besotted approval might cover
up and conceal, with ultimate fatal results.
So much by way of DEPRESSION. The
story to which we allude is evidently apo.

the Louisville Courier Journals concerned.
but that Mr.. Henry Watterson should de.
sire to change his base to Chicago, is quite
among the probabilities. The offer of
100000 for the associated press priv

more than likely true. 1t would require a
much larger sum than that to secure the
associated press privilege in that city. The
fact that the scheme for an 'organ' has
been abandoned, owing to the refusal to
accept 100000 for the news franchise,
shows at once the Importance and value OF
the associated press. 1t would be fal
cheaper to pay a million dollar,
for one of the associated press
papers in Chicago, than to attempt
to make successful paper outside of the
ranks.
The recent practical consolidation of the
Western and New York associated press
organizations, and the new Geographic con-
tract, doubles the value of every ass ociatej

Archibald Forbes, whose experience
as war correspondent has given him
opportunities Of knowing European ar
mics pretty we'll, writes for the North
American Review on the American ar
my, contrasting it, so far as the condi-
ton Of the soldier goes, most favorably
with the British. Our soldiers have,
Mr.. Forbes says, better pay, better and
more abundant rations, better provis-
ion for retirement, far better prospect of
promotion, and, if they need it, as it
seems good many of them do, better
prison The British soldier is paid a
shilling day, and his daily ration is
three fourths of pound of meat and
pound Of bread. The American gets
from Sl3 to SIG month for his first five
years of service, and for ration twelve
ounces of pork, or.twenty ounces of beef,
eighteen ounces of soft bread, one pound
othard bread. ar twenty ounces Of meal,
besides a liberal allowance of peas or
beans, rice, coffee, sugar, candles, and
so FORTH. AT the end of his service he
is entitled to land bounty. His pros
pect of promotion is indicated by the
fact that of the 432 officers of the United
States cavalry service, lis have risen
from the ranks. The British soldier has
no chance Of this. On the whole the
United States army is managed on bust
ness principles, while in England the ar
my is made show, and it's rewards, so
far as the private soldier is concerned,
are empty compliments.

The reports regarding the crops ]lar-
vested and the prospect of those in the
field continue to be good 1t is estimat-
ed that she wheat yield will be fully
5O,O0O,00O bushels. The estimate for
Minnesota is 45,00O,ON; Wisconsin, 3d.
100000; Iowa, 25,00o,00O; Dakota, 90
100000. If the estimate of all the states
shall be realized, there will be surplus
of 200, 100000 bushels Of wheat for ex-
port. The crop this year, remembering,
of course, if our expectations of the full
harvest anticipated are realized, will ex-
ceed that of 1880 by $4,000, 900 bushels,
and the harvest Of 1881 by 12O,0O0,OOO.
The whole value Of the cereal crops is
estimated at $77773, 25S SOS And when w.
come to remember that the potato, cot =
ton, hay and tobacco crops are bright as
the cereal outlook, it will not be amiss
to reckon the value Of the crops this year
in the United States at the stupendous
figure of 81, 500, 100000 at least. But it
must be recollected, that there is always
tendency to exaggeration before the
crops are safely harvested, and that the
final outcome almost invariably falls
short Of estimates.
