Perhaps the largest part of the time of Congress and ot the State legislatures is con- sumed in considering the claims of companies or individuals for special privileges, no guar anty of good faith being demanded of the applicants Many of these schemes are pure- ly speculative, and the object of their pro- motors is attained if they can get a hearing before committees and obtain mention of the proceedings in the papers. They manage these things differently in England. There everybody is not allowed to occupy the at tention of Parliament or any of its commit tees with purely speculative schemes. A de- posit of 5 per cent. of the capital required must be paid in before Parliament will pro- ceed to consider whether another railroad, gas, water or canal company or other private enterprise shall receive a charter. The mon- ey must be put up before the session con- venes. Thus we find that already, in antici- patton of the session which opens February next, legal notice has been given of about 320p private bills upon which deposit of , per cent. has been, or must be, paid.

The wife of L. w. Pond of Worcester has been making strenuous efforts to secure his pardon. The 20th of February will com plete six years of MT. Ponds prison life, and as that day, by singular coincidence, is the birthday of both Mir. and Mrs. Pond, his re- lease at that time is strongly hoped for by the faithful wife. The friends of ex-Senator Charles P. Stickney of Fall River are also at work to secure his release. It is not proba- ble that either Mir. Pond or Mr. Stickney will get out, for the general feeling in Mas sachusetts seems to be that such high-toned rascals are quite as bad as more vulgar ones, and that they ought to be thoroughly pun ished.
 ''The pro-Chinese minority of California" sends remonstrance to the President and Congress against the passage of certain pend ing bills. It says that Congressional inves tigating committee in 1876 presented lover
 whelming testimony establishing the ''vast l utility and great necessity of Chinese labor | to California" The remonstrance quotes | some of this testimony-that of railroad 1 president Crocker, who says that without l Chinese labor we should be thrown back in
 all the branches of industry ;'' that of the | Rev. MT. Gibson, who says that ''the stand l ard of Chinese morals is higher and better than that of any other heather nation;" and
 that of many citizens who bear witness to
 Mongolian industry, intelligence, honesty ] and thrift. The remonstrance further takes I the ground that opinion in California has | been misrepresented, and is not nearly so
 unanimously auti-Chinese as is commonly | supposed.

Assaults upon life in the Canton of Berne, Switzerland, have increased in number to startling extent, but attempts to re-establish the death penalty are nevertheless resisted as tenaciousIy as ever. A proposal to this effect was rejected by the people in May, 1879, by vote of 2S,O68 to 22,579; and now it has again been voted down in the Governing Council by to ?. It is denied that the abo- lition of the death penalty has been the cause of the increase in crime, which is attributed to remissnsss in police service and prison 1 management.

 Lieutenant Commander F. E. Chadwick presents some facts about English light houses which the general public do not know. A line of American steamers from Phlladel- phia to Liverpool pays about s25o per Toy- age to the English and Irish lights. On vessel of HOO tons the cost is something like ZIG, providing she goes from New York to Liverpool; but were she of less tonnage, and went to London, she would have to pay some e1O more. The total expenses Of Trinity House, the Irish Board, and the Northern Board, all having in charge the English lights, being pretty nearly g385, 900, any effort made toward the capitalization of this sum. the interest to be applied to the lights, would require sum of $50, ,00o,' CO It is thus impossible, at least for the present, to make the lights free of expense, as this large amount used for their maintenance could only come from direct taxation, and such an increase of the budget would not be thought of by economical Ministers. Still, as Lieut.. Commander Chadwick says, 'This should be done by Great Britain Our own system of absolute freedom from direct charges of any kind upon shipping, the e1- pense of lights, etc, being borne by the pub lie Treasury, seems the only really enJight- aned and fair rnIicv

IT IS NOT the province of newspaper
to take the side of factions in party
squabbles. Where it has been done the
gap if one existed was generally made
wider and the fire of factional strife
was only famed to a hotter flame.
Look at Pennsylvania. There the party
is torn and distracted, and each faction
tights the other with more vehemence
than it fights the Democratic party
This is true to certain extent in Del
aware and in consequence the party is
to day paying tribute to the Bourbon
Democracy who hold nearly every of
flee of trust, profit and honor in the
State. A Republican newspaper that
processes to be governed by the princi.
pies of the party, will know nothing
else than those principles in politics.

The Wheat Crop.

The present weather, though some
what disagreeable, is very favorable to
the wheat crop at home as well as
abroad, and Judging from the reports
received from all quarters, unless there
should be some great drawback
between this time and harvest there is
promise of an abundant yield of the
great food staple of the wofld-wheat
The best evidence of the abundance OF
the coming crop is that prices are
steadily declining. During the last
wear there has been a great decline in
the export of wheat from this country,
owing to the shortness OF the crop, and
this has had serious effect upon the
balance of trade. With the cheering
prospects of new crop speculation has
already begun TO busy itself. Not only
in this country but in others there is a
great increase in the wheat production.
Australia, India, Africa and South
America are contributing a larger sur
plus than ever before. In France the
area devoted to wheat has increased six.
teen per cent. in ten years, and it is only
because France is deficient in skill in
raising wheat that she has not a lrplus
instead of drawing upon the ma kot Tor
10000, 900 bushels, three pecks fyr very
inhabitant, man, woman and <hi.,. In
many parts OF France the in rove
ments in agricultural implements are
little known, the patient, Flooding
peasant still uses the primitive old
time sickle in gathering his wheat.
England is more progressive, and has
in recent years brought upwards of n
million acres of waste land under cul-
tivation, but there is no increase in the
wheat production, as most OF the re
deemed land has been turned into pas
ture. But in Germany the product
has quadrupled in the last forty years,
In Russia and Hungary reports show a
GtHhtAuu VI
Between 1877 and 1873 Russia Increased
its product on $1,000 to 6,l5O,00O tons.
In Hungary the average production of
wheat has increased from twelve to if
teen bushels to the acre. 1t is roughly
estimated that the deficit Of the wheat
importing countries will be 1000, 900
bushels. OF this England will require
10000, 900 bushels, France 10000, 900
and Germany 20,00O,000 To meet this
deficit the United States will have a
surplus of 100000, 900, and Russia, the
greatest rival in the wheat market in
the world, SO,OOO,OOO bushels. Austria
liza, Hungary, Turkey, Chilli and other
regions noted for wheat growing, will
al contribute to make up the deficiency,
and thus the price of living will be ma
tsrially lessened from what it now Is
There are many things however yet in
the way. The crop has to contend with
storms of wind, rain and hail, and run
the gauntlet of the army worm and
rust. If it escapes all these season of
plenty and cheapness will be assured.

Why Tear up the Parry?

What is there in the actions of the
Republicans to cause any ill-feelings
Simply nothing at all. There were two
d,dates for the st-mastership-

could not be appointed. One had to be
appointed. President Arthur in his
discretion appointed Mr.. Swiggett. H.
might have appointed Mr.. Pyle, had
he desired to do so, but he didn't seem
to have that desire and SO he appointed
the other man. He had right to dc
just what he did do. 1t is true thai

master, and making good one. the
most of the people of Wilmington
wanted him re-appointed. They didn't
take into consideration the tact that
Mr. Pyle had been in the postal service
eighteen years, most of the time al
post master All they wanted was tc
have good postmaster, and Mr.. Pyle
filled the bill.
President Arthur knew no more
about Mr.. Pyle than he did about Mr..
Swjggett, but he must have thought
that Others had as good right to the
office as Mr.. Pyle had and 80 he gave
Mr.. Swiggett chance to take turn
in the office. If there were nobody
else that could make as good a post
master as Mr.. Pyle, then of course Mr..
Arthur should not have removed Mr..
Pyle. Wilmington has AZ, 900 of a pop.
ulation. Out Of this is Mr.. Pyle the
only man capable of being postm aster
If this is so then Wilmington is to be
pitied. Then what is the use of tearing
up the Republican party simply be-
cause Mr.. Pyle was not appointed ?
Let high er motives rule the actions of
Republicans than q mere squabble for
a local office.

Ward workers in the Ring.

PHILADELPHIA, August 7.-McCormick
and Kelly, ward politicians living in Ken
sington, engaged in a rattling prize fight
near the Fifth street dry docks in Camden
yesterday afternoon. The principals and a
dozen friends crossed the river in row boats,
and ten minutes later the fight began Both
men were stripped to the waist. Mccormick
weighs IA and Kelly l70 pounds. Kelly
was the iayorite in the betting, and he justi-
fled the good opinion OF his hackers by
beating Mccormick in five wicked rounds,
which lasted AZ minutes But little skill
was exhibited by the fighters, but what
they lacked in science they made up in yigor,
and the way they rained sledge- hammer
blows on each other made the spectators
stare. Both men were terribly cut and
bruised, and Mccormick had his right wrist
dislocated by one of his antagonists blows.
The party returned to Philadelphia imme-
diately after the fight.
