WINTER WHEAT.
Its Condition as Reported by
the Department of Agric u lsure

WASHINGTON, April 16.-The De
partment of Agriculture reports the
condition of the winter grain crops on
the 1st of April over its entire breadth
In Michigan and other northern ter
ritory, wheat is still covered with
snow In the Ohio Valley winter
protection had been partial for a term
locally varying from three to ten
weeks, after which loss from freezing
was quite general. The average de
probation is greater in the upper part
of the Ohio Valley and in Kansas
than elsewhere. East of the Alleghen-
les the condition is good in the north
ern belt, declining slightly in the low
er ATTITUDES. tits noLup to the aver
age in any part of the South. The
average for the crop is so. Last
April it was 104: in 1881, IS. The
most observing reporters have exam
ined the roots, and in many cases
found them healthy, while the plants
are brown. There is good reason for
believing that the real condition of
wheat is, therefore, less unpromising
than it seems. The averages of the
condition in States of large produc-
ton are: New York, 10l; Pennsylvan-
ia,95; Ohio, 70; kentucky, 80; Indiana,
rs; Michigan, SO; Illinois, 80, Mis-
souri,, SO; Kansas, 10; California. g.
The acreage of winter wheat var
les little from last years breadth.
The returns indicate an increase of
one per cent, Illinois returns a two
per cent increase, Ohio, Michigan,
Indiana and Missouri one per cent
increase, and slight decrease ap-
pears in the Gulf States.
The returns of the quantity of seed
used per acre indicate tendency to
thin seeding. Ten years ago six
pecks per acre were used, now less
than five and half are used in the
winter wheat region. The increasing
use Of the drill admits of this econo-
my. The average of winter rye is
ninety-nine per cent of last years
breadth. Average condition ninety
four.

The Orderly Sergeants are now

The following gentlemen safely
passed the primary contest for the
prize defamation: Messrs. Bennett,
Birkett, Boyd, Meadows, Rector and
Waters. These gentlemen are all
good disclaimers and the primary
excelled that of last year by far.
The Societies have been having
serious time on account of the ina
bility OF the Joint Committee to come
to any sort Of an understanding con
corning the contest. The main point
of disagreement seems to be the de-
bate. 1t appears that the Columbian
DICTATOR will have more time for prep
aration toward the end OF the term,
while the Parthcnon has more leisure
at present. 1t is obvious that it is
to the advantage of the Columbian
to delay the selection of the question
as long as possible. And this is
what he seems to be doing. We do
not wish to inpute unworthy motives
to any one, but this is the only con
structien we can possibly place upon
such actions. The Columbian refer
red to is also member of the Joint
Committee, his first time saving !. OBJ
lection was against permitting any
law students, of whom the the Par
thenons have quite a number, to
contest. We understand that all
sorts of propositions have been made
by the gentleman, without any being
accepted The Parthcnon, we under
stand challenged him to wait until
the evening, and then let the judges
select the question for debate and
place them upon either side, and de-
bate extemporaneously, but nothing
can be done. If the gentleman is
afraid to meet the DICTATOR of the Par
thenons upon the rostrum, why does
lie not say so and resign instead of
placing so many obstacles in the way
Of friendy contest In defense of
what we have written it is only neces-
sary to state that numbers of the
Columbians express their disapproval
Of the manifest design Of conducting
the preliminaries in way that is at
once detrimental to the good feeling
existing between the Societies, and
to the courtesy that should be mani
tested in the dealings of one society
with another.

From 1863 to 1870, period of u
years, Republicans expended nearly
one million dollars in constructing
public buildings; and in the II years
of Democratic misrule, from 1871 to
1882 there have been expended for the
same purpose little over 100000.
And the account stands: per year
by Republicans 1888, 900; Democrats,
$50, 000.-Preston County journal.
Tue Journal seems to rejoice over
the extravaganza Of its party. If
the republican party spent $4,000
per year, during its short period of
misrule and extravaganza, in the
name of common sense, what did 1T
do with the money? 1t is notorious
fact that nearly all the public build
ings in the State have been paid for
since the Democrats have been in the
ascendency. One would think that
Senator Dawson had more discretion
than to admit that his party b ad
squandered one million dollars in u
years and left nothing to show for
he money.

The beginning of the, End.

1t will probably surprise the public
to learn that there is really prospect
that the star route trial will have an
ending. The defense closed their
examination of witnesses Friday.
There will probably be some further
testimony for the prosecution. Then
will come the long speeches of the law
yers, and then the submission of the
case to the jury, if that body be not
dissolved in the meantime by the sick
ness of some of it's members. 1t is
sincerely hoped that nothing may oc-
cur to prevent conclusion of the tri-
al in one way or another. In the
present disguised condition of the
public even acqnittal would possibly
be'more popular than a conclusion
which would involve longer contin-
uance of the suits. In all the records
of jurisprudence it is probable no
case can be found which was so un-
necessarily prolonged as the cause of
the government against the star route
conspirators. If Dorsey and Brady
had been mere contractors to do gov.
eminent work who had swindled the
other party, to contract their trial
would have been disposed ofspeedily.
Their former official position and
their high place in the councils of
their party and the fat salaries of the
attorneys employed by the govern
ment to conduct it's cause are the in
fuences that have prolonged the trial
beyond all precedent. That the end,
when it does come, will be the con-
yiction of the accused few will antici-
pate. The Brady and Dorsey clique
in Washington is still powerful
enough and desperate enough to pre-
vent the catastrophe of verdict of
guilty, and the general impression is
that they will not hesitate at the com
mission of any crime to escape con
yietion and imprisonment, Dispatch.

the people of the State want to have
certain kinds of personal property
exempted from taxation, then the
only way to do it is to so amend the
constitution as to authorize such ex-

Confirmation.

Co-cducaiion has been a subject of
discussion here on many occasions
in the past and has number of en-
thusiastc supporters. Here are a
few remarks on the other side Of the
question by facetious contemporary:
The New York Critic, which is
somewhat excited about "co-educa
tion," has written to number of
college presidents and others to get
their views on the subject. The an
swers are interesting. Presidents
Porter, of Yale, and White, of Cor
nell, have not time to express an
opinion; President Robinson, of
Brown University, is mot yet prcpar-
ed to take ground for the admission
of young women" and therefore de-
clines to go into the discussion.
Presidents Eliot, of Harvard, and
Seelye, of Amherst, are decidedly Of
opinion that the CO education of sexes
in our American colleges is not de-
sirable. So is the president of Van
derbilt University and 30 also is the
president Of Vassar,a college for girls
alone. The president of the College
Of the City of New York. while he
sees no reason for denying co-educa-
ton to those "who desire to learn
some special subject in which all have
a decided and personal interest,"" be-
lieves that under any other circum-
stances co-education would be hurt
full to both sexes. The president Of
the Columbia University, at Wash
ington, thinks that the question
must be decided by each college for
itself, and the Superintendent of In
struction Of Cleveland, DR.. Hinsdale,
is in favor of co education if there be
also provided plenty Of colleges for
men alone and for women alone, for
the benefit of the many people who
prefer to send their girls to girls
schools and their boys to, boys
schools. The only emphatic approx
al of co education comes from the
University Of Wisconsin, the New
York Normal College, DR.. Howard
Crosby, Of New York, and Mrs. Julia
Ward Howe Mrs Howe believes that
'young men and young women who
decide to labor together in the pur-
suit Of the highest verities attainable
by human knowledge will be in
manner compelled to meet each other

The sight of the average college boy
and boarding school girl laboling to-
gether in pursuit of the highest veri
ties canuot but appeal to the poetic

Considerable inquiry and some dis
satisfaction has bean caused among
the agricultural portion of our State
from the fact that the assessors, in
their rounds, have been listing prop
erty for taxation that has hitherto
been exempted. The farmer appar-
emily has been singled out, and every
thing he has must be brought into
the tax schedule-down even to the
sucking calves, the pigs. and the colts
that gambol upon his meadows.
Some Republican papers, either
through ignorance or a desire to
misrepresent, have tried to Undue the
farmer with the idea that a Demo
cratic administration had singled out
the farmer to make him bear the
chief burden of taxation, bat, mark,
how plain tale shall put them down
In March, 1866, an act was passed
by the Legislature of this State Ia
Republican Legislature, excmpting
the Chesapeake, and Company, (then
called the Covington and Ohio Rail
road Company from taxation until
the profits of said Company shall
amount to ten per cent, on it's capital.
Now, the first Constitution of the
State as we'll as the present says that
"all property, both real and personal
shall be taxed in proportion to its
value, but property used for educa-
tional, literary, scientific, religious or
charitable purposes, all cemeteries
and public property, may, by law, be
exempted from taxation"
1t is well known to our readers that
strong efforts have been made of late
years to tax the property of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railway. The Su-
Preme Court of Appeals of this State
last year decided that the act exemp-
ting the property Of that road from
taxation was unconstitutional, and
that the Legislature could not pass
an act exempting any property from
taxation unless it comes under the
head of one of the exceptions in the
above quoted sentence.
Now, the same decision that
brought the property of the Chesa
peake and Ohio Railway into the tax
schedule also brought some minor
productions there also; but where is
the farmer that will not rejoice at the
news that the property of this gigan-
tic corporation is at length to be sub
ject to taxation?
Instead of singing the farmer out
to bear the burdens of taxation this
decision Of Democratic administra
ton looks as if it was going to relieve
the farmer Of part of his burden by
transferring it TO wealthy corpora
ton, exempted so far by the act of q
Republican Legislature Greenbrie,

in the election of school superintend-

Hogg, the superintendent last year
and Mrs. Sue M. Warren, his prede-
cessor, and the principal of the First
ward school last year, are applicants
Tor the position, and the best informa-
ton that can be gathered shows that
the board of trustees and the city
council, each composed of six mem
pers, are equally divided-and a good
deal Of feeling is being engendered by
the friends OF the aspirants. The

Yesterday afternoon regular knock
down and drag out fight occurred at
the barber shop on Houston street near
the corner of First. The participants
were r. A. Jacobs, Charles Brady and
Joseph Williams who were all arrested
by Officer Thomson. 1t appears that
Jacobs has been paying very marked
attention to a lady, relative Of Bra
dy's, which coming to the ears of the
latter he wrote her letter reflect
ing upon Jacobs, and telling
her to break off all intercourse with
him. This letter caused the excite
ment Yesterday The lady with
charming candor showed it to Mr.. Ja-
cobs and Immediately he longed for
gore. He thirsted for Brady's
blood and forthwith proceeded to sat
isfy his longings. Passing out Hous-
ton street yesterday. he espied Brady
calmly resting i'm chair. while tom
serial artist was engaged in shaving
him. AS soon as Jacobs eye caught
sight of his alleged defamer, he strobe
into the shop and in an instant ele-
waited Brady from the chair and pro-
ceeded to wipe up the
floor with him. Brady naturally
objected and tried the same racket ON
his assailant, but the latter was more
than his match. Williams, one of
the BARRIERS, sailed In to assist
Brady but Jared no better than the
latter. The fight became general, and
for awhile the air was thick with
chairs, cuss words and arms and legs
wildly brandished about in a somewhat
entangled manner. Another barber
attempted To restore order but only re-
eeived several blows for his pains
