NoRTHFIELD, March 16, 1Ss2.-Justice to

before the farmers meeting held in Mortified.
There is q mistake somewhere. said four
years ago the p p. footed its horn for sixty
million bushels of wheat in this state, and
nearly all the country papers did the same
The result was; the wheat rings of New York,
Chicago, and Milwaukee, ETC., set their figures
for our big crop, and when the facts were
known we had but thirty-five million.
The p. p. wants to know who the farmers
were that passed the resolutions or whether
they were really farmers at all or not does not
appear in the report that reaches rs. For the
benefit of the p. p. we will say that the names
are too numerous to give, but suffice it to say
they were farmers and business men, and the
only objections came from men that own mill
property with one exception. Where did the
p. p get its report? If from
the GLOBE why not say So.
don't want to state anything but facts. Now
If the fault is in the p. p. reporters, they had
better get some good vel-headed farmers to
report the crop prospect next fall after thresh-
ing has been done, and not take reports from
wheat buyers and dry goods clerks. If the p.
p. is doing this blowing for the state, it is
making sad mistake. That is, it has made
a sad mistake for four years. Any one can see
that an over estimate of our crop would have
a bad effect on our markets, and it would reach
over the waters. 1t would have the tendency
to lower the price, and none would feel it
more than the farmers.

Shtpherd,s Smdden Sickness

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-The House com
mittee on foreign affairs met this forenoon
for the purpose of continuing the examina
ton OF Shepherd relative to the Chilli Peruvian
correspondence, and Chairman Williams read
the following letter from Shepherd:
RICHMOND HILL, L. l., March 17.-Sir: All

committee were finished and packed last even

Several members Of the committee expressed
the opinion that Shipherd is trifling with and
evading the process of the committee. Orth
moved that the committee report the matter
to the house and ask for compulsory process.
Walker favored positive and prompt action.
After pretty general discussion of the best
course for the committee to pursue, Belmont
moved the committee send a messenger to
New York to ascertain the true facts in the
case. The motion was carried and the COM

GARFIELD's GRAVE.
A Report from the Committee to Whom
Has Been Entrusted the Work OF Raising
Funds for Monument.


Has Been Entrusted the Work OF Raising
Funds for a Monument.
CLEVELAND, o., March 1S.-The Garfield
monument committee to-day issued the fol-
lowing to the public:
The Garfield monument committee are
pleased to announce that over 100000 have
already been given by generous people for a
monument over Gen. Garfield's grave. This
we believe is larger sum than has ever before
been voluntarily contributed in SO brief a
time for a monument to any person. We
have therefore great assurance of the success
of the undertaking. Over $4,000 have been
given by the people of Cleveland. The re-
mainder came from every State and Territory
in the Union, and from several foreign
countries. We believe that the people
of the country desire that the monument
thall not be local or state monument, but
national and worthy of all the people. 10
this end $3.50, 900 should be raised. of which
should be distributed among the states and
territories in proportion to the several popu.
lations, thus making the amounts equal from
each The committee have perfected arrange
ments in most of the states whereby an oppor-
tunity will be given all to contribute. The
committee desires to second these efforts by
a new appeal to the country and raise the bal
ance desired. We do not. intend or wish to
interfere with any plans that may 0e adopted
in the different states and territories. We
know that there are thousands of contribu-
tors throughout the land who wait for some
one to take the lead and solicit contributions,
and would not willingly consent to have no
part in the movement. The money already re-
ceIved by US is drawing interest in the banks
in this city. No steps have been taken toward
design for a monument, nor will there be I'M
til the amount of money to be expended is
known. As early as advisable national Gar
field monument association will be organized
under the laws of Ohio. Trustees will be des-
ignated from different portions of the country,
to whom will be committed the work of erect
ing a monument. If the movements that
bave been and are now being inaugurated
| throughout the country receive quick and
earnest encouragement, the amount de-
sired, we hope, may be speedily
| raised. Any proper assistance we can render
will be promptly furnished on application to
us by letter or otherwise. In conclusion we
respectfully request the weekly and daily press
of the United States to publish this statement,
and SO far as can be done with satisfaction to
| lend assistance editorially in pushing forward
the work to an early and successful conclu-
sion. Respectfully submitted,

Brearster Breaks Out.

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-Col. Cook, in re-
signing as counsel of the star route cases, says
that up to the time of the assassination he had
frequent interviews with President Garfield,
and almost daily consultations with Mac
Veagh, but it is evident his relation to the
cases has now become essentially changed.
Still this was to have been expected as he was
chosen by the late administration. Attorney
General Brewster in accepting the resignation,
says:
| did not think and l do not now
believe that the position of counsel
in these cases had the remotest connection
with any question of the political administra-
ton. They are public cases, not political
cases. They are pro bono publico. They
were confided to lawyers, not to politicians,
and hence have had the control of them as
attorney general have treated them as pub
lie cases, and have been instructed by the
president to give them my vigiant attention,
and to see that they were prosecuted with dill
igence and with earnestness to a
practical result, and these instructions
] have before this, as an act of public
duty and as an act of personal duty to
him, made known and had at once done.
cannot permit the implication, you appear to
raise by your reference TO your having been
retained by the late administration to pass
without objection. You were not responsible
10 any particular administration, nor were
these cases, or are to be COMPOUNDED, or assc-
ciated with the policy supposed to be con-
nected with any administration. They are
substituted for the purpose of justice, and
justice only. They will be concluded by coun-
sci upon principles that regulate the admins
tratIon of justice, and not with reference to
the wishes or policies of any president no
matter what his name may be.

Fink Finishes

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-Commissioner
Fink concluded his argument today before
the house commerce committee against the
Reagan railroad bill. In closing the remarks
he urged upon the committee the importance
of putting good men upon any commission
which congress might create. The Reagan
bill would simply disorganize and destroy the
system it is supposed to be designed to per-
feet. The best plan of all perhaps, would be
to have congress give to the existing railroad
commission the power of imposing penalties.
This would, in his opinion, settle the matter
al once.
