O,oor,e Canadian subjects Addresses of a COM
r,1in,ontarv nature have been read to them at

have been fred and large crowds have gatheTeu

which greeted them upon their arrival hye years

he less cordial and impressive than tho welcome
ut orart from the necessities of the case, 1t Is
o,ido,+ that certain illusions which were enter
toired at the opcnine of the Marquis of Lorne's
form have been dispcllcd, and that his true rela-
tions TO the people of the Dominion are now
more accurately disccrncd. At the outset MS
official station was overshadOwed by his social
distinction as the Queens sOn-in law. 1t was
tho nrescnce of the illustriOus lady by his side
that gave significance to his appointment Al
the close of his term the Canadians are convinced
that the attempt to stimulate the loyalty OF the
Provinces by the selection OF the PrnceSss nus
band rs Governor General has not been success
ful. II has been evident that the Princess mas
not cniovcd her stay in the Dominion, but has
looked upon it as period Of exile, to be broken
mn by frequent journeys to England. The mimic
court in the mmbcrmcn's capital has been man
aged ON PRINCIPLES of republican simplicity, and
has left no social impression uTG% the public HE
or the Provinces. The Duke of ArGylTs son Is
better liked now than he was when he came but
his relationship 10 the Queen has ceased to tie IL
oorded rs matter of political importance.
The Canadians have the practical instincts oi
Enclish-bom and Frcuch-brcd coloni-ts. Ihry
know that their future depend, upon their own
poIitical genius rather than upon the character
and services of the Imperial officials who tenn
pororily represent the mother state. During the
N2rouis of I.oruc'- term of Office new economic
system has been introduced. and the long series
Of deficits in the budgets Of the Confederation
have given place tn q substantial surplus. There
has been marked improvement in their hnan-
cial standing since the protective schedules were
adoptcd. Their credit is better in London;
great works of internal Improvement hay" been
undertaken; and the stability OF the Conlcdra-
ton has been promoted in many ways, These
are issues of fundamental importance 10 the
Canadian people, and their leisure Is fully occu-
picd with them and with reflections upon the
tendencies of republican institutions across the
border. The appointment of a new Governor
General and the return of the Queens s"n-in-
law and daughter dwndlc into affairs of minor
importance beside the political development and
ultimate destiny of the Conicdcratcd Provinces.

AMPLE CROPS IN 1888.

The October report of the Agricultural Bureau
is rather discOuraging to those who have labored
80 hard to white down the crop of 1883 IN or
der to push up the price. Only week ago The
Produce Exchange Weekly published elaborate
calculations to prove that the wheat crop must
be over %, 600, 900 bushels less than the bureau
estimate of September /, but now comes the
October report embracing averages based on
recorded results of thrcshing in the different
States, and stating that " the final average OF
"yicld will not differ much from lib bushels
"pcr acre. The aggregate will exceed
400 600, 600 bushels, and may reach
10000. 600" The report of September l es-
timatcd yield of l17213,59j, and the latest
returns do not seem to warrant any material
departure from that estimate.
Moreover, we have the detailed statement OF
injury 10 the corn crop by the frosts of Sep
tcmbcr, which interested parties insisted would
reduce the yield to l,2OO,OOOO0O or
/ 300. 600. 600 bushels. The official return,
after giving the averages of condition for tho
different States. says: "Thc product of the
a wear will be close t0 1000, 100000 bushels
a with more soft corn than last year, mostly IN
regions that consume their entire CROP
The largest crops ever grown were little over
/. 700, 900. 900 bushels the crop Of lSS2 has
been exceeded only twice, and the crop of lSN3
exceed, that by ( per cent in acreage but ialIS
below il , per cent In condition. There can
be- no doubt. If these returns ure correct, that
the country has available, with its large surplus
from last year, more wheat and more corn than
il has ever yet been able to sell and consume
in n single year.
The oat crop is altogether the largest ever
grown, the bureau report making 1t about
800 OOO. 900 bushels. The barley crop will
average between one and two bushels to the
acre moro than that Of last year, and will be
nearly 10000 900 bushels also the largest
ever grown. The potato crop Il officially re-
pnrtrd as in better condition than in any year
since 1878, and the prospect is favorable for
large WELD It may be- added also that the csti-
mated Weld of cotton is 100000 bales, which,
though less than the yield Of last year, has
been only twice exceeded.
With n; -huudant supply of all the great Sta-
pies. this country ought presently to free itself
from the cmbarra,smcnts which attend bns-
ness. The chief impcdimcnt to rapid recovery
i, the excessive speculation in products which
constantly intcrfcrrs with their natural distribu-
ton and makes industry too dependent upon
the result of gambling operations IN a few chief
cities.

There are some sincere mOurncrs over the
bodies of the two thieves who were shot In the
Sixth-avcnuc saloon on Tuesday morning.
Certain attorneys have lost two profitable
clients. If all our ruflaus and law-breakers
would turn their weapons upon each othcrlnNtead
of upon peaceful people, much-nccdcd puutca-
ton of our temple of Justice would result. That
noble cdifce is now shcltcring too many confcd-
crates of thieves.
In this city there is a class of lawyers all whose
dc-picable ingenuity is devoted to saving the
yiIr,t criminals from the just consequences OF
their misdccds They defend these rascals not
~ q matter of professional obligation or rs a ne
crssaIy but dstastcful means of livelihood, but
bcrorsc they are friends and fellows of the
criminals. and rejoice in the congcnal work.
Too cnwardly to take first part in the actual
laundering of safes and vaults and silver closets
they always get more than their share OF the
spnn. and too often they succeed IN saving their
coufcdcratcs from punishment. Ncgotlators oil
stolen bonds, receivers of stolen gOods-that Is
their real business, though they masquerade as
members of nm honorable profession. Such law
vcrs will lament over the deaths of Irving and
Walsh. while honest men cannot but feel salts

This seems TO be great year for earth
ouakes. First Ischia, in the Mediterranean,
was shaken up with terrible loss, then the island
of Java and the Straits of Sunda were con-
ynlsed, and now the region about the Gulf of
SMYRNA in Asia Minor has been devastated.
Comparatively insignificant shocks have been
felt also at San Francisco and in one or two
other places. Dispatches from Constantinople
state that the destruction of villages and towns
in Asia Minor by this last visitation has been
great, and that thousand lives have been de-
stroyed The region around Smyrna has been

1880, but only two lives were lost.


In renomnating Mayor Low last evening the
Republicans of Brooklyn showed how sincerely
devoted they are to the cause of honest and
efficient municipal government. Mr.. Low mas
performed his official duties in an able and non
partisan manner, and deserved a denomination.
He has received the approval of the citizens
movement and that with Republican support
probably insures his reelection. The Demo
Gratis would do themselves credit by accepting
the inevitable and making Mr.. Low their can
didate also.
The prospect for a union between the Repub-
licans and the Citizens Committee on local
ticket seems to be improving. The Cltlzens
Committee adjourned yesterday to await the
action of the Republicans, who in the evening
decided upon a number of names Tor Register
and for the judicial nominations. FROM TINS
list the Citizens Committee will be asked 10
make selections. If n good union ticket Is
finally agreed upon in this way, there Is tair
chance of electng it. Some OF the names sug-
gested by the Republicans we cannot recon-
mend vet there are some excellent ones among
them, and to these the Citizens Committee
should give serious consideration.

The Governors refusal to interfere to save the
