As not more than half of the grain crops
have been harvested, later returns may show
difference. In Aroostook county harvesting
has hardly begun. The yield of grain prom
ises quite heavy. The kernels have filed ont
plump and larger than usual, and unless the
drouth and early frosts prevent the ripening OF
late fields the yield in bushels will be proper
tionately larger than the percentage Of condi-
tion would seem to indicate. A careful COM
parison of the returns indicates yield Of corn,
oats and barley in bushels as follows In the
several con mites.

wendell Phillips Will Not support Butler
for Governor.
Boston, Sept. 1.-THE Herald will say that
at meeting of few of the chief men of the
Greenback party yesterday afternoon, 1t was
said Wendell Phillips had decided he could
not longer honestly support Butler for COVER
nor or for any great Office, having become con-
WINGED that the General had, tempted by the
lure of the Presidency, had abandoned the
ruse OF the workingmen and plain people and
allied hIs political fortunes with the money
power. A prominent Greenback leader and
oratot confirms this report. Other Greenback
desertions are reported, one being that of a
gentleman who was once candidate on the
same ticket with Butler The leading Green
hackers here consider that the attitude of
Phillips will make profound impression upon
Buffers Observation-Disclosures followers.

Without and Within.

My coachman, in the moonlight there,
Looks through the side light of tn
door;
1 hear him with his brethren swear,
As could do-but only more.
Flattening his nose against the pane,
He envies me my brilliant lot,
Breathes on his aching fists in vain,
And dOoms me to place more hot.
He sees me into supper go,
A silken wonder by my side,
Bare arms, bare shoulders and row
OF tiounceS for the door too wide.
He thinks how happy is my arm
Meath its white gloved and jeweled
load,
And wishes me some dreadful harm,
Hearing the merry corks explode.
Meanwhile / only curse the bore
Of hunting still the same old coon;
And envy him, outside the door,
In golden quiets of the moon
The-wintcr wind is not so cold
AS the bright smile he sees me win,
Nor the hosts oldest wine so old
As our door gable sour and thin.
l envy him the ungyved prance
By which his freezing feet he warns,
And drag my ladys chains and dance
The galley slave of dreary forms.
Oh, could he have my share of din,-
And his quiet doubt,
'Twould still be one man bored within
And just another bored without.

Pearls of Thought.

A republic is not founded on virtue
but on the ambition Of its citizens.
The earth with its SCARED face is the
symbol of the past; the air and the
heavens of futurity.
One man is no more than another
only inasmuch as he does more than an
other.
No soul is desolate so long as there i,
a human being for whom it can fee
trust and reverence.
Each man is a hero and an oracle tC
somebody, and to that person whatever
he says has an enhanced value.
1t is a great misfortune not to have
enough wit to speak well, or not enough
judgment to keep silent.
Prosperity can change mans nature
and seldom is any one cautious enough
te resist the effects of good fortune.
Silence il the universal refuge, the
sequel to all dull discourses and all
foolish acts, balm to every chagrin,
welcome after safety as after disap-
pointmsnt; that background which the
painter may not daub, be he master OF
bungler, and which, however awkward
a figure we may have made in the fore
ground, remains ever our inviolable
asylum. where no indignity can assail,
no personality disturb US.

The New Postmaster General.

The President on Wednesday of last
week appointed Judge Walter @. Grss-
ham, of Indiana, Postmaster General
Mr.. Gresham was born in Harrison
county, Indiana, in 1882. He was edu
Gated in his native State, and after
graduation at the Indiana State Univer.
sity, Bloomington, he studied law and
soon afterward began practice. He was
from the start successful as lawyer,
and took an active part in politics in
his State. Shortly before the outbreak
of the late civil war he was elected
Representative in the State Legislature
and in 1861 he was chairman of the
House Committee on Military Affairs
While occupying this position he opera
ted so skillfully and theoretically with
Gov. Morton, and in the organization of
the State militia and in raising and for
warding troops, that the latter, on the
18th of September, 1851, commissioned
him as Lieut.. Colonel of the 3Sth Regi-
ment of Indiana Volunteers. On the
goth of March, 1882, he was promoted to
be Colonel of the SD Indiana, and on
the 11th of August, 1864, to he Brigadier
vi Ilo
in the siege of Corinth. siege and cap
ture of Vieksburg, and siege of jackson.
Miss, and up to the 9Th of January,
1864, commanded the Sd Brigade of the
4th Division of the 18th Army Corps.
He was brevettsd Major General for
distinguished gallanvry, and after Janu-
ary, 1864, commanded the Fourth Di-
vision of the 18th Army corps until
July the same year, when he WAS severe
ly wounded in the action before Allan
ia. He was mustered out of service on
the 3Oth of April, 1866, and as soon as
his health and strength were fully re-
stored be entered into partnership with
J udge Butler of New Albany, Ind, and
resumed the practice of law in that city.
During the war Judge Gresham'S per-
sonal relations with General Grant were
very friendly and cordial, and when the
latter became President for the first
time in 1865. he appointed Mr.. Graham
District Judge for the district of Indi-
ana. This position he still holds. In
1881 he was strongly urged for place
in the Cobinet of President Garfield. and
there is reason to believe that the repre-
sentations of his friends in his behalf
were regarded with much favor.

ABOUT year ago Elizabeth Gensler
attracted considerable public attention
by claiming that Henry Hermann, a
wealthy east side furniture dealer, was
her husband. She averred that Mr..
Hermann abandoned her in London
when he was a poor journeyman, and,
coming here acquired riches. But Mr..
Herman stoutly denied that he was her
husband. He was married only a few
weeks before Mrs. Gensler made her
charge against him, and it was decided
ly uncomfortable for him to have rival
claimants to lis name. The police mag
istrate decided in Hermann's favor, and
the Grand Jury indicted Mrs. Gems
Ter for perjury. A new phase of this
strange case has now appeared. Mr..
Herrmann's detectives. it is said, have
discovered the real husband of Mrs.
Gensler in furniture factory in Balti
more. and Mrs. Gensler and her daughter
have seen and recognized him. Mrs.
Gensler has, therefore, retracted her
charge against Mr.. Hermann. and turn
ed her attention to the Baltimore man.
He, it seems, was aware of her litigation
with Mr.. Hermann, but, having mar
ried again, preferred to let them fight it
out. This must be ranked among re-
markable cases of mistaken indentity.-

Prohibition or Regulation.

The Legislature has resolved to sub
nit to the people for their adoption or
rejection, the following proposed amend
ments to the Constitution on the liquor
question:
First proposition. The additional sec
tion in and with section IS of the sched-
ule shall be repealed, and there shall be
substituted for it the following: THE
General Assembly shall regulate the
traffic in Intoxicating liquors so as to
provide against the evils resulting there
from. and its power to levy taxes or as
sessments thereon is not limited by any
provision of this Constitution"
Second proposition. The additional
section in and with section Is Of the
schedule shall be repealed, and there
shall be substituted for it the following:
"The manufacture Of and the traffic in
intoxicating liquors to be used as beV-
erags are forever prohibited, and the
General Assembly shall provide by law
fer the enforcement of this provision"
These two propositions will give the
people of Ohio an. opportunity to fairly
express their opinions, at the ballot boy,
on the proper method to be adopted in
dealing with tie liquor trafic. One pro-
position simply provides for the prohi-
bition Of the manufacture Of and the
traffic in intoxicating liquors as beyer-
age. All who are in favor Of the doc
trine of prohibition can express their
sentiments by voting for the secoRd
proposition. The other proposition is
not quite so simple. 1t practically au-
thOrizes the General Assembly to regu-
late the traffic in almost any manner
except by prohibition or local option.
the latter being no more than prohibi-
tion in spots. Under the first PROPOSE
tion the General Assembly may tax the
traffic, or delegate to the municipalities,
counties, or townships the power OF tax
ing it. ats power to levy taxes or as
sessmenrs thereon" says the amendment,
"is not limited by the provision of the
Constitution By the adoption Of the
first proposed amendment the traffic can
be regulated by taxation, as demanded
in the Republican platform last sum-
mel, in the following language:
Resolved, That the tax-paying people
of the State demand that by specific tax
alton the traffic in intoxicating liquors
shall be made to bear ite share OF the
public burdens, and that the Constitu-
tion, in so far as 1t may be obstacle in
the way Of ihe exercise by the people,
through their representatives. OF prae-
tical control over the liquor traffic, to
the end that the evils resulting there
from may be effectually provided
against, should be amended at the earli-
est date allowed by law.

Senator Sherman on the Wool Tariff
Reduction.

Senator Sherman when il Columbus
last week was interviewed by a State
Journal reporter, concerning his connec-
tion with the Tariff bill snd the wool
growers. He said:
Il have read the report in the Ohio
Stale Journal of the wool growers
meeting held here recently. 1t is the
only full and complete report of the
proceedings which has been published.
| sympathize heartily with the resolu-
tions adopted, and believe that an undue
reduction was made in woods as COM
pared with woolens. I will chesrfully
do all can to repair this injustice. l
especially approved Of the organization
proposed, Of Wool Growers Associa
tion Of the United States. If they had
been as well represented as were the
manufacturers. there would have been
no trouble. We were advised that they
had agreed to the proposed reduction on
weol, and there was no complaint made
to the Finance COMMITTEES for more than
six weeks. When the bill reached the
Senate it was too late to meet the wishes
of the wool growing people. tried, as
they know, to correct the bill, and did
so to some extent. Again, when it came
before the conference committee, l
pressed the matter strongly, but the in
terests of the manufacturers, represent
ed by Senator Morrell AID Aldrich, pre-
vented any change. / refused to sign
the report of the committee.
Il think an injustice has been done
me by Mr.. Delano in criticising my vote
upon the final passage of the bill. The
bill was an enormous relief to all inter
ests and all classes, and effected Ie-
duction of S75,0OO,O0O taxes. Defects in
detail would not justify nay vote against
the bill. The reduction of two cents on
wool was no justification for refusal
Of any reduction of taxes. On that vote
| am willing to appeal to the sober judg-
ment of wool growers. did all l could
and all they asked, except l would not
sacrifice the interests of the whole coun-
try to correct an error which may be
corrected hereafter. l would not vote
with Democrats and free-traders against
all reduction of taxes merely because the
reduction was too great on wool. l have
thought the matter over and over again,
and | am sure that was right in voting
for the bill"
"Have you seen the resolution of the
Legislature to submit constitutional
amendment to the people?"
Yes; that suits me tirSt-rate. 1t is
good thing"
-"What do you think of the prospects
in the coming electisn?"
"Oh, don't believe Ohio is lost to US.
believe we will be successful next fall.
The action Of Congress and the State
Legislature, compared with the action
of the Democratic bodies, will commend
the Republican party to the people. The
prospects are decidedly good"
How long will you remain in the
city. SENATOR"

Saturday. am loaEng, and have moth

ACCORDING to the Chicago papers Car
ter Harrison's great majority was large
ly the result of repeating and other
crooked work at the polls, but there is
no doubt that the hummer ticket receiv-
ed more than half of the legal votes
cast. One serious trouble with Chicago
politics is the fact that many thousand
good citizens, who are almost all Re
publicans, live in the numerous suburbs,
and are of course, unable TO vote for
good government in their common busi-
ness home. This and frauds on election
day account for the success of dema-
gogues like Harrison in a city which is
not so depraved as it seems Cleveland
