Crop Notes

The Kentucky State Bureau of
Agriculture estimates the wheat crop
Of that State at between twelve and
thirteen million bushels, eleven mil
lion being the largest wheat crop
ever raised in Kentucky up to the
present time. The oat and corn
crops promise unusually well, the
acreage of corn being from 10 to Is
per cent. greater than that of last
year. The tobacco crop is much
larger than ever before. Cattle and
hogs are scarce, and in five or six
counties hog cholera has appeared.
The hay crop promises badly, the
worm having done much damage.
In portions of Iowa and Nebraska
corn is reported to be in a most en-
couraging condition, but in some
sections of those States and else
where In the Northwest the growth
Is backward and the outlook less
promising.
Haryesters are busy al! over Kan
sas, even I'm northern sections. The
yield will exceed the estimate of a
month ago, and wheat will, in many
sections turn out % to 40 bushels TO
the acre.

The Economist of Boston, the best
monetary journal in this country
gives us the following as the results
of the spoils system of government
All persons under government pay
in and about Boston have, during
the past month, received circulars
requesting them to contribute to the
funds of the Congressional Campaign
Committee not less than a stated
percentage of their salary. All 9th
er government officers in the country
have been, or will soon be, treated to
the same kind of documents. The
circular is so worded as to leave the
recipient uniformed upon the vital
point of the penalty for negligence
This slight omission is the strong
point in the paper. We doubt if any
of the Boston custom house officials
will be brave enough to face. the pos
sible removal, which might result
from a refusal to comply with the re-
quest. The act is one which should
be bounded by all respectable people.
1t is simply blackmail. If these Of
ficers have been paid extraordinary
wages, to whom are we tn look for
the fault if not to Congressman, and
the party which carries through the
appropriations which are to pay these
officers? And the question would
naturally come-Why were these men
given such large salaries? For the
purpose of perpetuating a certain
faction, and that faction the present
majority?
The bad effect of such a course on
trade, on every branch of industry,
as well as on politics, is easily seen.
On the other hand, if these officers
are paid only in proportion to the
market value of their labor, this tax
is an imposition which is resolved to
them into the alternative of taking n
halt loaf or none. The day is not
far distant when the people will learn
to appreciate the tricks of these
schemers, and break up the political
machines. The government of this
country was intended for the benefit
of the people, and the offices were
created for the good Of the public,
and not for the advantages of politi-
cal parties.

Next United state. senator.

Next winter an election will take
place by the Legislature Of West
Virginia to fill vacancy in the Sen
ate of the United States, caused by
the expiration of the term of service
of Hon. H, G. Davis. 1t is under
stood that MIR. Davis will not he in
the field for reelection, so that, so
far as we are now informed, there
will be but one candidate for that
position from this congressional dis
trict. We refer to Hon. c. j. Faux
ner, Of this county. Mr.. Faulkner
will have strong following in the
west and will receive the support of
this end of the State, and especially
OF this and adjoining counties; not
only because he is citizen of Berke-
ley, ard identified as fully as any
man can be with the interests Of the
whole State, but because of his large
experience and spotless record as a
public man. We presume from pres
ent indications his principal com
petitor will be Hon. Frank Hereford,
from the Third district; and from
the activity shown by that gentle
man in marshaling his forces on the
kanawha and the Big Sandy, we
may expect quite warm and ANNA
ted contest before the Legislature

A correspondent gives his idea of
what the people want to represent
them in the next Legislature. Whilst
his suggestions are pertinent and
pointed, yet we think he is drawing
it too utterly fine. He says:
We want a man whose vote cannot
be bought.
We want man with a head full OF
brains.
We want live man.
We want man whose heart is free
from political contamination.
We want man who hasn't been
before every Convention since our
boyhood's days.
We want a man who makes a sue
cess of everything he undertakes.
We want a man who will leave the
pennyroyal bull to roam where he
pleases.
We want man who can't be bribed
by accepting favors from corporations
or monopolies.
We want a man who does not ride
on free pass.
We want a man who when asked a
question on any matter, will answer
yes or no, as the truth may be.
We want man who will not legis-
late to his own interest, to the injury
of his constituents.
We don't want any broken down
politician.
We don't want a wealthy man.
We want a man of the people, for
the people and with the people.-Ex.

The Campaign Money Bags.

The Civil Service Reform Associa-
ton of New York, it seems, has hurt
the feelings of the Republican Con
gressional committee. The Associa-
ton has sent around a circular call
ing attention to the fact that the
statutes provide a penalty for the
solicitation by government officials
of money for campaign purposes, or
for the payment of money for such
purposes to government officials. The
association has been advised that
Congressman are as much as any
liable to this law.
The statesmen who compose the
Republican Congressional Committee
are indignant that anyone should
have had the assurance to attempt
ain interference with their scheme.
They had sent out the most urgent
circulars to every employee Of the
government, from the page boys in
the Capitol and the day laborers in
the navy yard to the department
chiefs. They were expecting large
returns from these circulars, but the
action of the Civil Service Reform
Association is calculated to discour-
age the efforts of the Committee. 1t
is NOT strange it is angry. 1t would
be serious thing to have TO go into
this campaign without money.
Already the circular of the Asso-
citation appears to have had its effect
The New York Custom House en-
ployes have almost unanimously
refused to contribute anything, and
some of the letters of refusal sent to
the Congressional committee are very
entertaining reading. 1t is now I'M
derstood that the Attorney General,
having been requested to do so, will
give an opinion upon the subject.
He can do magnificent civil service
reform work if he will; he can give
such an opinion as will virtually
break up the disreputable practice,
or he can give one which will encour-
age it, Philadelphia Times.

Special Dispatch to the Register.
WASHINGTON, June 22.-There is
some interesting gossip in Republi-
can circles, pretty well vouched for,
on the subject of the Republican
differences in New York and Penn
sylvania. The stories are to the
effect that the President is exerting
all his influence to secure harmony
in both States; that he mas failed in
Pennsylvania so far, but has measur-
ably succeeded in New York. The
plan adopted in New York is said to
be this:
Governor Cornell, stalwart, but
not of the. ConklingAr stripe, is
to be renominated for Governor and
supported by the whole of the party
and administration influence. Sen
ator Lapham is to resign his place
in the United States Senate and run
for Lieutenant Governor, while Cor
nell is to appoint Hon. Roscoe Conk-
ling United States Senator in place
of Lapham. Collector Robertson is
TO be kept IN, and run the Office for
the general behoof and benefit of the
party.
1t is supposed that this dicker
will satisfy all the factions, and save
the administration from the mortifi-
cation Of defeat in November next;
but if Mr.. Waldo Hutchins should
be the Democratic nominee for Gov
ernor, the whole of this card palace
will be apt to tumble down. OF
course, if Republican Legislature
be secured, Mr.. Conkling would be
regularly chosen by that body.
In Pennsylvania no compromise
seems probable, owing to the bitter
ness Of the rival factions, but Mr..
Cameron is said to be ready to make
concessions to the rebels.

Justice (!).

The New DOMINION, in its issue OF
June 18th, saw fit TO enlighten its
readers in regard to certain matters
connected with the Medical chair in
the University.
This action on our part caused a
party calling himself by the false
name Of Justice, to rush to the res
cue of those who were so severely
hurt by the truth as we published it,
and attempt reply in certain
sheet notorious for licking the sores
of wounded ours in hope that it may
gain subscriber or augment enmi-
ty against the New DOMINION.
This Justice (?), though trying to
clothe himself in the garb of bold
ness, exposes himself by the protru-
sion of his ears, and acquaints us
with his true character by the
sound of his voice, which instead
of being a terrifying roar, is found
to be mercy disgusting bray.
lie refers to us as a dealer in
slang and fish market literature"
In reply, we ask any fairminded per-
son to peruse the article in the New
DOMINION, and then the effusion of
Justice, and decide for himself which
exemplifies the work of a "slang-
whanger"
He calls us the editorial figure
head" and charges us with being
the mouth-piece for others. This is
all very fine for him, and better suit
ed to his tastes and character than
manly argument; but when our
readers take notice that he has failed
to answer or even deny a single
charge, we can excuse him for calling
us hard names and throwing mud to
such a remarkable extent.
1t lily becomes Justice (?) to cry
out about decency and responsibility,
for we know him well, and we know
whereof we speak when we say that
he cannot see lady pass him on
the street without making remarks
that would call blush to the cheek
of the lowest inmate of brothel.
But then he is faithful satellite
of just such ones as he refers to, and
nothing better could be expected.

The COrruutiOn Fund.

Most of our readers are aware of
the manner in which the. Republi-
cans raise money to carry elections.
They assess every person in the EN-
ploy of the Government and he who
refuses to contribute is Immediately
notified that his resignation will be
accepted. The Government en-
ployes number one hundred thou
sand and the fund thus raised
amounts to millions of dollars Thus
the Republicans perpetuate their
power by levying upon the U. S.
Treasury. The following is copy
of the circular that was received by q
young man, in this State, who was in
the employ of the Government last
year, but who is now engaged in other
pursuits:
HEADQUARTERS REPUBLICAN Con \
GRESSIONAL COMMITTEE, $40 Thir-
tenth ST., N. W.
WASHINGTON, d. G. May Is, 1882.
Sir This Committee is organized for
the protection Of the interests of the Re-
publican party in each Congressional
District of the Union. In order that it
may prepare, print and circulate suitable
documents illustrating the issues which
distinguish the Republican party from
any other, and may meet all proper ex-
penses incident to the campaign,
the Committee feel authorized
to apply to all citizens whose prin-
ciples or interests are involved in the
struggle. Under the circumstances in
which the country finds itself placed,
the Committee believes that you will
esteem it both a privilege and pleasure
to MAKE to its fund contribution,
which, it is hoped, may not be less than
81 The Committee is authorized to
state that such voluntary contributions
from persons employed in the service of
the United States will not be objected to
in any official quarter
The labors of the Committee will
effect the result of the Presidential cleo
ton in 1884, as Well as the Congressional
struggle, and it may therefore reason-
ably hope to have the sympathy and as
sistance of ali who look, with dread,
upon the possibility of the restoration of
the Democratic party to the control of
the Government.
Please make prompt and favorable
response to this letter by bank check or
draft, or postal money order, payable to
the order of Jay A Hubbell, acting
Treasurer, P. o. Lock Box 500, Wash>

The Chesapeake e. Ohio Railway
for Safety, Comfort and Pleas

uTcs
Perhaps the grandest triumph OF
art in the present century, is found
in the fact that, in this broad land
of ours o traveller may board train,
and without change Of cars, pass
from ocean to ocean. To project,
construct, and successfully operate
such thoroughfare, requires more
brains than the work of governing
the greatest empire on the globe. So
great is the magnitude of such an
enterprise, that, in this country,
where railroad corporations may be
counted by scores, it is rare thing
to find company high enough in
its aims and broad enough in its
sweep, to undertake the work of con
Meeting both oceans by an unbroken
chain.

In another column we print the let
ter written to the several members of

I. Wiley, who is chairman of that
body. There are erroneous ideas en-
tertained by some of our people con-
corning the work of this Committee
as we learn from some of our cores
pondents. The object in selecting
these men was to have each member
confer with the voters of his district
and ascertain what their wishes are
and what kind of proposition they
will support. 1t includes represent
atives from every district and it seems
to us nothing could be fairer. The
idea as set forth by our Blacksyille
correspondent is not the only plan,
but was suggested by some of the
friends from that section.
The proper plan is for him and all
others interested to attend the com
mlttee meeting at Mr.. Willey's office
on Saturday, July 9Th and assist in
arranging something that be ac-
eeptable to all our people.
