FnYorabIe Crop Renorts.

CHICAGO, July 17.-An extended
survey Of the corn outlook in Southern
Illinois shows that section has Jared
much better than the Northern and
Central portions. The prospect is
very good and there will be an average
yield, with a little rain during next
month. Corn is rapidly improving
further north, and the situation is far
from being as gloomy as two weeks
ago.
In Southern Indiana the crop is
doing excellently, and in Southern
Indiana and Illinois there are large
crops Of wheat and oats.
In Minnesota the prospect for wheat
is very favorable and improving. Corn
is little backward there.
A special from Atchison, Kansas,
says that the wheat harvest has closed
with most satisfactory yield over the
entire State. The average is twenty
five bushels per acre--much heavier
than the estimates of the Board o.
Agriculture. The quality is the best
possible, and farmers are rushing it il
to get high prices. Corn looks fine
1t is shoulder high, and if nothing
unforeseen comes the yield will b,
175, 100000 bushels.

THE Democratic mass meeting on
the bluff, Saturday night, was all that
could have been expected Or desired
1t was a gathering Of several hundred
quiet, earnest citizens, who were more
than ever impressed by the eloquent
speeches OF the occasion, with the i'm
portancc of electing the entire county
Democratic ticket on the third Of
August. The ticket is an excellent
one throughout, and its merits were
ably set forth Saturday night. Not
withstanding this is very quiet can
vass, full vote is likely to be polled
The single fact that all the districts
elect Magistrates, should be sufficient
to awaken general interest, as those
elected are TO serve six years, and
constitute the County Court.
That the ticket will be elected
rom top TO bottom seems very proOa-
BILE. Yet it will require a united
effort and something more than mass
meetings and the endorsement of the
press, The county convention pre-
sentod splendid ticket, thoroughly
representative and cosmopolitan, like
our population. If the Democrats
and libaral independent elements CO.
operating with them would maintain
their prestige and influence, they must
put their shoulders to the wheel and
elect the ticket entire, as they can
easily do, and as we confidently be-
lieve they will. The meeting Satur.
day night was good send off.

Clearing House Report.
CarfieId's Doctor RiII.

Washington Special to 0ourier-J Journal,
The House spent a greater part Of
the day on the Senate amendments to
the deficiency bill, and mostly non
concurred, so there will be a necessary
expenditure of considerable time in
the Conference Committee. The
sticking point was the Garfield doctor
bill, which was put on as an amend
ment at the time Vest made his speech
showing up the doctors. The amend.
ment was made the subject of three
hours discussion and red hot speech
by Mr. Blackburn, who was opposed to
it, first, because he thought the Senate
should not have added the amend.
ment, since it was a matter wholly in
the hands of the House Committee,
and also because he did not believe in
this way of paying the expenses. He
raked the doctors over the Goals for
crowding into the case against the
wishes of the patient and the en-.
tire family, and, by their lack of
knowledge and bungling, butchering
the President, and then bringing in
excessive bills. Mr.. Taylor, who
represents the old Garfield district,
made poor hand at defending the
appropriation, which as it came from
the Senate was $4,000, and when
askedby Mr.. Bragg about bill from
the Governor OF Ohio for tho expenses
of the Ohio State militia at the funeral
he denied that there ever was such a
bill, and wriggled around precisely as
a boy does when lying out OF a bad
scrape. There we're other absurdities
besides the one Of SIS, 600 for Bliss, and
various motions to amend the amend.
ment by increasing IL 10 various SUNS,
one being 100000. Ihe Republicans
tried to be super sentimental over the
whole matter, and McCook, of New
York, was on the point of paying
5000, 900 out Of his own pocket rather
than have the discussion 10 on, but
some one restrained him. The point
was made by Mcmillan, Of Tennessee,
that the doctors have never presented
bill, and so there need be no haste
on their account, and Mr., Knott made

If the Avalanche still insists that
the governor has any veto power in
the common meaning and use of the
term, we cannot help it; we wash our
hands of all responsibility for the con-
sequences. When a governor has the
fact staring him in the face that 38
members in the House and
18 in the Senate can pass
bill after he has returned it without
his approval, he is not likely to rely
much upon a veto power which is
overcome by a single vote in either
House. The Avalanche was correct
at first in accepting the LEDGER's
statement of fact, and as long as it
will keep in the same line it will be
happy, good and great.

There is great joy in Belleville,

Slade, the notorious spiritualist and
medium, who in the presence of a
dozen gentlemen, including the Chief
Of Police, acknowledged last Friday
morning that he was a fraud and
that his manifestations" were mere
trickery. His slate writing had pro-
voked much wonder among the peo-
pie in attendance upon his daily
seances, and plan was formed for
detecting him. Upon being charged
with cheating and threatened with
arrest the medium fell upon his
knees, trembling like an aspen" and
begged to be let of. The Chief Of
Police finally relented sufficiently to
give him three minutes in which to
get to the railroad station, and by the
first train he went East. The gener-
al rejoicing at this complete detection,
however, is somewhat tempered by a
doubt whether the exposed spiritual
ist is the genuine Slade, A CONNER
