RETURNS received by the Secretary of
State show that in the southern four tiers
of counties ia, so acres of wheat have been
threshel |, which yielded / 49,, so bushels;
average, ,54S bushels Per acre. The acre
aye reported threshed is S per cent. The
total acreage as returned by the Supervisors
yield in the southern two tiers OF cotnties
generally better, but in the central and
northern counties is not as high as estimat-
ed in July. The figures indicate n total
yield in the State of about -, 600, 600 bushels.
or nearly COO, 900 bushels less than the total
product estimated in July To the
question which variety of wheat has
given the highest yield per acre,
l0l correspondents in the southern four
tiers of counties answer: "Clawson," o.;
Fultz, 80; Egyptian, %. In the southern
four tiers Of counties -, 1S} acres of oat
were thIeshed, which yielded 40, S6
bushels; average, 30 2-5 bushels per acre.
No estimates have been made for corn.
Excessive rains continued until late in July,
and the severe drouth since has nearly
ruined the crop Corn on high, sandy soil
will doubtless yield fairly well, but the crop
as a whole is far below the average Winter
apples in the southern part of the State
promise less than one-fourth and late
peaches one third an average crop.

Now and Then.

In letter written by Thaddeus
Stevens in 1864 to a lady who had
thanked him for his efforts in behalf of
a free-school system, Mr.. Stevens said:
"When entered the Legislature about
thirty years ago there was not school
in any part of the State where the
children of the poor could acquire COM
mon education without recording them
selves paupers, and being recognized
and treated as such by their fellow
students. Few availed themselves of
these odious conditions, and the poor
mans child was doomed to ignorance.
Now there is no obscure, barren spot
within the broad limit of Pennsylvania
where the children of the rich and poor
do not meet in common schools on equal
terms"

PaNDAJT As AN OBSTACLE.

This man Randall is an Objectionable person
to some Democrats. To them he stands for
the evil genius of the party; but for his mallgn
influence il might succeed. Accordingly, quite
n persistent and determined effort is in progress
to break down his influence within the party,
or to drive him out of it. Many leading DEM
ocrats Profess to feel, and doubtless do sim
cerely feel that the extinction of Mr.. Randall
as a person Of prominence and power has be-
come an essential prerequisite to Democratic
success.
Nominally, this antagonism is mainly on ac-
count, of Mr.. Randal's course on the tariff
question. He hns stood, it is said, an insupera-
bic barrier to united Democratic action on that
subject, has defeated every attempt TO make
the tariff living and sharply defined Issue be-
tween the two parties, and has thus deprived
the Democratic party of its only chance of sue
cess namely, as an aggressive and uncompfo-
missing free trade party. tits true that Mr.. Ran
dali has done great deal to prevent bis party
from taking any unequivocal position on the
tariff question. He has not been able TO pre-
vent the adoption of such fiat-fc0ted resolutions
rs were drawn for the last Democratic Ma
tional Convention by Mr.W atterson, but he has
managed to make the action OF the party ut
terly inconsistent with its declarations, though
only a small portion of its members have sup
ported him in this course. Njjne-tenths OF the
Democratic members have repeatedly voted
for measures hostile to the principle of Drotec-
ton, but the mutiny of small faction led by
Mr.. Randall has always deprived such action
of effectiveness except as manifestation OF the
prevailing Democratic purpose. But it is q mis-
take to suppose that lie has been alone in this
matter, or that bis extinction would leave the
marty united. de Is but representative OF

explosives. As the law stands, unless criminal
ends and motives can be established neither the
Fenian chemist OF Birmingham nor the four
dynamite agents in London can be adequately
punished One may be technically guilty OF
manufacturing explosives without license and
the others of reckiessness in having dangerous
chemicals in their possession; but probably no
penalties that will be adequate tn the crimes OF
which they are accused can be imposed. Sir
William Harcourt has given notice OF amend
ments by which the penalties in similar cases
will be heavily increased in future.
One aspect of this dynamite campaign re-
mains to be considered. Are there any inter-
national precautions which can be taken to pro-
tect England against these diabolical plots
SO far as the conspirators themselves are con-
cerned. it matters little whether they are Eng
lish- Irishmen or Irish-Americans, or lrlshmen
pure and simple. They are now under arrest,
and if their guilt be established they will be
punished to the extent which the English
statutes will permit. The fact that they have
ever been citizens of the United States will not
have the slightest bearing upon their offence.
The nitro-glycerine was made and carried
about on English soil, presumably for criminal
ends, and they can be punished there. If it
can be proved, however, that they have been
sent out from this country by an organized
body of sympathizers for purposes Of murder,
arson and the wholesale destruction of public
property, some interesting questions of inter-
national policy will arise. The extraditiOn
treaties must be rigidly construed SO far as po-
litical offences are concerned. In this respect
England herself has set the example for the ma
tons. But it is by no means certain whether the
new perils to which Governments are exposed
from the use Of so terrible an agent as dynamite
will not render necessary combined interna-
tional action and revision of the whole series
