TIE srRIHE.

There are no developments or changes
in the situation that give any indics-
ton Of an end of the ~telegrapher's
strike or which side Is likely to win.
The leading telegraph company has
the advantage of being without com
petitors and the operators claim that
they are also without competitors suf-
ficiently skilled to take their places.
This is the key to the whole position.
The success Of the strikers depends
simply on whether they are right In
this assumption.
II the Western Union supply
their places. say within a couple OF
weeks, by skilled hsnds, and proceed
with its business, their vacation Is
likely to be a long one. III the COM
pahy must virtually educate q new
force, starting with green hands, then
the sooner they eoncede the demand
for 20 per cent. !ess work and Is per
cent. more pay the better for all con-
cerned.
Upon this pivotal point the
operators and employers give OPP
posite responses, and between their
conflicting opinions it is difficult for
third parties to come to q conclusion.
1t would seem as though both classes
ought to know whether the work done
involves such an amount of technical
skill that the places of the strikers can
not be supplied, and yet the managing
officers of the Western Union are posi-
tive that they can, aud the managers
of the strikers are positive that
they cannot. Their means of informa-
ton on such a point would seem to be
about equal, and both sides seem sim
cerc in their antagonistic assertions.
The question of cost of living, or the
value of labor, may have had more or
less force in inducing the strike, but it
has no force whatever in deciding it.
The strike is a simple contest of force;
the strikers saying, "Iou can't do busi-
ness at all except at u TERMS" the
employers sayiugf "You can't impose
your terms upon our business" 1t re.
mains to be seen which is right.

sheridan's New ROuse.
Pittsburgh Post.


The presentation OF a residence in Wash.
ipgton by the citizens OF Chicago to Gen.
Phil Sheridan, which he will occupy when
he succeeds Sherman as General in the
army, is in the line Of precedent, no matter
how much against public policy. When
Grant was at the head of the army a resi-
dence was purchased for him in Washing
ton, which he subsequently sold. The same
house was subsequently, bought for Gen.
ersl Sherman, and vas by him sold after a
temporary residence in it because OF its
ineligible location. The house given Gen.
eral Sheridan is in a fashionable quarter,
and for this reason be will have no excuse
TO sell it. The practice Of making such
gifts has a Gemoralizing effect upon the
officers of the army of high rank, and is
calculated TO SOW the seeds OF discomfort.

HE LATEST FROM rHE CROPS.

The report Of the Agricultural d.
IsT.ment for July, brings the latest and
most reliable information of the condi-
zion ofthe crops. The current reports,
t>Iecially from the West, are almost
always so manipulated 10y Chicago spec
ulators that little dependence can be
placed upon them, but we ought II b.
able to rely upon this official docIment,
aud We take it 70 O2 ~ fair an exhibit

In looking through the report We
fjud abundant evidence fol ]prOuouuc-
ing this u fruitful season It that evil
GcLce We're nowhere else TO be obtained;
hut there are, as in every year, some
products that fall behiad the average.
We do not expect every variety of pro
duce to he exceptiona ~ good in any
single year.
The winter wheat has been harvested
in the South aud will be completed this
month in the northern % The est
mate OF the yield has been increasing in
every report siuce April, as it has been
with reference 10 all the other crops,
finer weather having developed the
promise aud dispellei the forebodings
of failure. Yet on the whole, the De-
partment predicts a shortage Of eighty
to ninety million bushels in the winter
wheat crop, and q probable deficiency
Of seventy TO eighty million bushels in
the aggregate wheat product Of the
year. As there will be a surplus left over
on the ist Of August greater by forty
millions bushels than the small surplus
Of the previous Year. there will be al
ample supply for home consumption
ard an average expectation, though
prices will be high.
In regard to the corn crop the D.
pa.tment reports au increased area Of
about a half million acres, making
the aggregate sixty. eight million acres.
There has been some extension Of ares
in nearly every State.
In some of the great Western States
there has i-een too much rain for the
growing corn, but the improvement Of

The fast horse fanciers are preparing
