cooperate with those who treat it justly
and aid IT, and leave sentiment to look after

Ii is announced that IL, 900 Russian Jews
have definitely arranged to come to the
United States. 1t is impossible to predict
how many others will decide to follow them,
but the discontentment and terror among
the nearly 100000 Jews in the Cars EN-.

able, and many Of the fugitives will be
likely TO seek a refuge in the United States

SENATOR BLAIR of New Hampshire reat
long statement before the Shipherd inves
tigating committee, Monday, in relation Il
his connection with the Peruvian company
The statement contained very little will
which the public is not already familiar
He said he acted as attorney for the Peru
Wan company and accepted block of stool
as a retainer, which he subsequently re
turned. He preferred to have the money

ALBANY Express: "Some of Our ex
changes have seen fit to advise the friend
of Sammy Tilden to keep an eye on hin
lest he should fall into the wiles of sucl
sharpers as fleeced Charles Francis Adams
If any one insists on coupling the names o
Tilden and the bunko players, all of the ad
vice should be given to the bunko men 70
if the great reformer ever got a chance a
them, he would, at the close of the exercises
pocket all the wealth of his adversaries
read them long sermon on the evils @
gambling, and wind up with a patriotic quo
tation from Thomas Jefferson"
THE New York Times has gathered re
ports of the conditions of the growing crop
in thirty-seven states and four territories
The prospects are that the staple crops c
the different sections will be unusually larg'
Winter wheat has entered the spring in e,
celent shape and the cotton lookout is n
ported as promising. The fruit prospect
not so good, having suffered severely fror
the late frosts. The acreage devoted to pr
tatoes will be much larger than usual, OWN
to the short crop last year. The prospec
for heavy yield of hay and grass is nc
good, though they will probably reach tn
average. Everything considered, the coun
try bids fair to have enough and to spare fc
the next year.
New YORK Times: &" Behind his grotesqu
rhetorical extravagances, his sarcastic r
parties, and his ridiculous assumptions
insulted virtue, Mr.. Blaine fancies that /
is in secure hiding from the penetratir
: gaze which the American people have
late bent upon him and his censurable act
But, though he should bare his whole so
in the MONDAY, he could not make ar
palmer than 1t now is the essential trut
that while he was secretary of state he vi
fully and dangerously perverted the trad
tions and policy Of this government to serN
private ends. 1t is not material that v
should know all the successive steps he toe
in seeking these ends through the mala
, ministration of a public trust, nor that v
should force from his or anybody's lips
, full avowal of the hidden and questionab
means made use of by him or his instr

, sufficiently established, and upon that

raignment he cannot escape quite so east
as he has escaped the point of the question
propounded by the house committee"
