lHc ScHtiCLHcu WIZ pOScu MS tile oIEaiSnt-
out Republican Committee on the Goth, pre-
tend to be concerned for the President ial
canvass Of 1884. Two years will have to
elapse before that contest viii open. In the
meantime there are 10000 voters in Vir-
ginia who have been kept from the polls by
an unconstitutional restriction upon the
ballot. In preparing for 1884, would It not
be well enough in 1882 to avail of the OPP
portunity to emancipate these voters and
| clOthe them with all the rights OF the free
citizen, so they can have voice in deter
mining the political attitude OF Virginia in
| 1884? We are not just now consumed with
anxiety as to who shall be the Republican
nominee in 1884. We are very certain the
Republicans Of Virginia will have a say in
it. What we are solicitors about is to act
| in the present so as to be fortified in the
| future. When 1884 arrives it will be time
enough to consider the claims of Presiden-
tial aspirants. Let us clear the deck now
for action then. Supporting the policy that
| will crush our worst enemy now and lber-
| ate our friends, will not make us any less
Republican in 1884. The nervou us gentle
men who are frightened at phantoms pro-
test most too much about 1884. For six
years their political associates have been
tied hand and foot by Bourbon DEVICES and
| the opportunity is presented to break the
| cords IN 1882. Is it wisdom to neglect this
| important present duty, for shadowy and
underlined something two years hence? The
nomination of Mr.. Dawson and the policy
! suggested by the Committee has nothing in it
but obstruction. 1t is the rule or ruin idea,
but in this instance will amount to very little
on either point. 1t will prove to be Com
mittee without following-a programme
without support, and will only have the ef-
feet to expose the shor; -sightedness and reck-
less selfishness of those who have thus an
nounced that rather than have the measures
they declare for practically enforced in way
not their own, they will not have them at all.
The force they would speak for is powerless
of ITSELF 1t can do nothing effective, but aid its
known enemies. And this they will do rather
than join with others who aim at proper re-
suits. but insist upon a different way to ac-
complish them. Such folly is too transpa-
rent to command serious attention. 1t will
mislead only those who want to be mislead,
and who would prefer to rule in hell to serv-
ing in heaven-a beggarly few who will not
be felt in the general count in November
next.

Tho Future Of Grain.

The Baltimore journal of Commerce gives
intelligent attention to the grain product and
the prospective rulings in prices based upon
supply and demand. In its issue of July Goth
it gives the following facts and conclusions,
which it would be we'll for our farmers to
carefully examine and weigh, in order to regu-
late their own action: AS the decline in wheat
has attracted so much attention, and farmers
are reported to be holding back tor better
prices, it may be we'll to examine few sta
tistics upon the matter. To us the decline
seems only natural, though from its sudden
ness there may possibly be a temporary re-
action. We have yield of wheat of not less
than 50OOO0,000 bushels, and the very supe-
rior quality of it will increase its bread-makng
properties to much above the average. For a
population of Sd 100000 we need at the out
side for bread 243,00O,0OO bushels, and for
seed not over 81 900 900 bushels, or a total for
all of our home wants of 800, 000,0 900 bushels,
leaving surplus of 200, 900, 900 bushels, all of
which is available for export, as the stock of
old wheat and -four in the country Is fully 49,
900, 900 bushels-and this is ample for reserves.
Now, with 2OO,0OOO 900 bushels surplus, what
are we to do with it? The highest amount of
wheat ever exported was $4,000, 900 bushels
flour included) for the year ended June 80,
1881, and the average export of value for the
whole year was 81 II bushel while for the
year ended June 30. 1879, the average value
was $1.06 bushel. During the year ended
June 30, 1881, we had almost the world for our
customers Nearly every European Country
needed large imports, both France and Eng.
land having smaller crops than they are prom
ised this year. The requirements of Europe
were greater than they will probably be for
the next twelve months and then we had but
little competition. Russia had short crops
and consequently very small surplus, while
India had not begun to ship wheat to any con-
siderable extent. Thus we have the prospect
for smaller demand than in 1SS0-'81, and
more competition from other countries than
in that year, while in the face of all this our
surplus is 100000 bushels greater than the
amount we then exported. In view of these
facts the part of wisdom would seem to be to
ship our wheat out as freely as possible"

The vote in Iowa at the recent election to
pass upon prohibitory amendment to the
State Constitution was very ignificant.-
The amendment was sweeping in its pro-
visions, prohibiting the selling, drinking
and the manufacture ofall Intoxicating bev.
erages, with the same conditions applicable
to ale and beer. 1t was adopted by a vote
of l53, 436 for the amendment to 125,677
against tor majority Of 29,753 against
the use in any form or the manufacture OF
any intoxicating drinks. The large vote
cast indicates the interest the people mani
tested in the question. There was no eva
sion or doubt about the issue. The lam
guage OF the law was distinct, emphatic
and aggressive, and because of this the re-
suit is more significant. Politicians will
study these figures with great care, and
watch the next appearance OF this impor-
tant question upon the political arena.

The Egyptian troubles are becoming more
complicated. Three hundred and odd nota-

manifesting an indisposition to send Turk
ish troops to interfere with Arabi's plans
and purposes. The French Chambers, by
a very large majority have refu sed vote
of credit for the protection of the Suez
Canal. The Russian Minister was absent
from the conference of the powers to con-
sIder the policy of intervention, which
means temporary withdrawal of that
power from the coalition. In fact it has
been since stated that Russia will declare
openly against English policy, and that It.
ally has positively declined an invitation to
cooperate with England. 1t looks like
England will have to undertake the Job of
quelling the rebellion in Egypt herself,

without an appeal to arms.

This is what the nomination of Mr. Daw-

given to the Bourbon faction. and contri-
