S,snal Service Embarrass,n ent.

Probably no branch of the Govern
ment business has been SO seriously in.
jured by delay and failure Of delivery
since the telegraph troubles as that of
the Sig al Service. To make intelli-
gent forecasts of the weather it is abso.
lutely necessary that the reports of OH
servers in all parts of the country
should be in Washington at, or before Il
certain hour twice every day. For the
past twelve days nearly all Of the indi-
cations sent out in the morning have
been made up of necessity from the
Geographic reports of the preceding af-
ternoon, the officers engaged in this
work being compelled to substitute
their Judgment and past experience in
place of the customary reliable data. A
record of delay on! telegraphic reports
has been carefully kept since the or
ganization of the bureau. Since the
strike these delays have been SO extern
sive and marked that the acting Chief
Signal Officer was compelled to call the
IL tention of the Western Union Com
pany to the fact. No improvement has
followed his report, however. On the
contrary many of the dispatches have
failed entirely. In order to compel, if
possible, better service, the attention of
the Secretary of War will be called TO
a transcript of the records of the Signal
Office, showing these delays and fail
ures in reports. The penalty in each
case is not less than one hundred dol.
lars and not exceeding one thousand.
That the secretary will shortly bring
the Telegraph Company to realiza-
'ion of its legal obligations is confident
ly expected. Late tonight an officer
of the Signal Service said that, as a
rule, half the reports are now be
lieved, and nearly two-thirds of those
received are in bad shape.

Sym palhy and Justice

There is no wide separation between
sympathy and Justice. If we consider
carefully the workings Of the human
mind, we shall see that syInpathy-that
is, feeling with others-must have
preceded the knowledge of what justice
to OF hers demanded. First, there is what
We all keenly feel - the consciousness OF
what is necessary to our own life and
happiness; then comes,in a less degree,
some realization of others similar feel
ings and needs; and in proportion to the
strength of this latter faculty will he,
generally speaking, the conscientious
of every obligation.

Board OF Health.

The regu ar weekly meeting of the
Board of Health was held last evening,
with President Bush in the chair. A
number of nuisances were reported and
referred to the executive officer, or
committees for abatement. Secretary
Frazer reported that the parties at Sixth
and DUPONT streets, who have been
sick with the small-pox have all recov-
cred and were anxious that their houses
should be disintected, but are too poor
to have it done, and on motion the ex-
ecutive officer of that district was in
struc,ed to do it.
President Bush read an interesting
paper on the smallpox in Cuba, and
stated that in accordance with the
instructions of the Board he had ap-
pointed Or. Patterson vaccine physician
tor one mouth. The President also
spoke Of the necessity of establishing u
quarantine, and said the Board had au-
thority to establish one at least mile
from the city, and prohibit any vessel
from coming up the river, or to land
passengers or freight without clean
bill Of health from the port physician.

Certainly nothing could be more gratifying
to republicans than the cheering prospect of
victory in Ohio. The party is united, while
their opponents are divided into wrangling
factions. No republican paper and no repub-
lcan of note in the state has pro-
claimed itself or himself botter than
his party, and there is no
"better element" plotting the defeat of a
ticket that was nominated in the usual way
by regular party convention. Such har-
mony and earnest effort is sure to bring vio-
tory. and from the republicans of Ohio the
party in other states might we'll learn profit
able lesson. Without thorough organization
no party can enter contest with any hope
of success and there can be no organization
that does not recognize the voice Of the
majority whom properly expressed. Elo-
quent Fred Douglass once said: 'All ropas
out of the republican party lead into
the democratic camp" and he spoke
wisely. With victory assured in
Ohio, republicans throughout the country
will enter into tho contest Of next year with
renewed courage, and withoa determination
to win national victory which can only be
won by the same thorough organization and
unity of purpose now being shown by the re-
publicans Of the Buckeye state

THE CORN AND WHEAT CROPS.
what the September Ruturus 10 the Ag-
rIcnIturaI Department show.

September returns to the department of
agriculture indicate lower condition Of corn
than in August in every section Of the
country and in nearly every state. The only
guius in the west are in Missouri, Kansas
and Nebraska, where slight improvement is
indicated. Minnesota stands as in August
Arkansas makes a gain Of one point, aud
Georgia and Alabama remain as in August,
but all the other cotton states show heavy
decline. Tho figures are also much reduced
for each OF the middle states.
The corn surplus states show changes as
folows: Ohio reduction from 80 to 82;
Michigan, 6S to 90; Indiana, 95 to 95; Illi-
nois, SO to 81; Iowa, So TO 50. Tho increase
|, in Missouri is from 80 to Si; Kansas, 90 to
10t Nebraska, 81 to 81. The decline in New
York is from 90 to AZ, and in Pennsylvania
| from 30 to 50.
The general average of condition on the
first of September was "a, q decrease of five
points during the last month.
Tho cause of this reduction, so nearly uni
vcrsal, is drought, which is reported from
every stnte of the Atlantic coast, the gulf
coast and the Ohio valley and beyond the
Mississippi to the crest of the divide between
That river and the Missouri, Between tho
| Ohio river and the lakes the distribution of
| rain has been unequal, in few places in ex-
cess, while a deficiency is generally reported.
Inc crop Is nearly everywhere late, requtr-
| ing one to two weeks longer season than usual
to mature. Whore Kansas and Missouri seed
WINS planted IN more northern territory the
crop Is still later, causing much apprehension
as to ripening. While planting was late and
tho curly season too wet, with drought fol-
lowing, the average temperature of the sum-
NOR has beon low, making u full yiod an
impossibility.
| Tclegraphic communication with state
agents up to 3 O'Clock this afternoon shows
that tho recent frosts have damaged corn
north of the fortieth parallel. The Ohio
agent places tho injury in that state at 90 per
cent. The Indiana agent estimates the loss
at 10 to 20 in the northern section and 5 in
the middle belt. The loss is heavy in Wis
consin and Minnesota. There is also some
injury in New York and Pennsylvania.
| While the damage cannot yet be clearly de-
'tprmined, it is certain that frosts have
already reduced tho general average below
so, though much of tho heaviest corn of tho
west is beyond serious injury.
The condition of wheat when harvested" I"
as reported in these returns. averages S3,
which indicatesa product II per cent. less
than tho yield Of last year, or u loss of S6000,-
900 bushels.
The crop of oats will be large, the general
average being 80.
The promise for potatoes is good. repre-
sented by 80, three points higher than the re-
ported average of September, 1882.
