OUR half breed friends should not conclude that
because JOIN L. Smyth says he is going he is
gone. They should remember that there is no
Sunday school in John r. smyths polihcs.-Roch-
ester linton (DenD
That is true. But unfortunately there are
other peoples politics in good many Sunday
schools. By this we mean that political, as
well as other frauds, get into the Sunday
schools in order to get an odor of sanctity
with which the easier to play their little
game, The excellent people who arc in
earnest in their religion cannot discover the
hypocrisy that dwells in the depraved hearts
of some of their fellow worshippors, who
seek the alter as political workshop, use re-
ligion as trade mark, and pretend that God
wants them to have an Office solely for the
public good. This class of scoundrels hate
all truthful men like John f. Smyth, which
is greatly to his credit

Gen. Bradley T. Johnson, of Baltimore. in an
interview At the Greenbrier White sulphur Springs,
W. Va, few days ago on Maryland politics, said
1T is self evident that the people of Maryland
publican partyto power in the state. The
boss and the machine in Maryland have been the
growth OF sixteen years. The attack on them
was only begun two years ago by Gov. Hamilton
in his speech at the Maryland institute. Two
years of deliberate and intelligent agitation has
so aroused the public conscience and excited pub
lie attention that now every one processes to be
against these monstrosities. The people are not
deceived They know who are in earnest and
who are not. They know who have been profit
ing by the corrupt management which is on the
eve Of overthrow, and they will hold every one to
the strict performance of professions and pledges"

Poor Hoadly is out of the race. He knows
1t and feels it, Ho may not deserve his fate
doubtless he thinks he has been very hardly used;
but what is there to be done about 1t? Politics
are peculiar things, anyhow, They embrace 30
many STANCE and conflicting elements that we
cannot wonder that so many truly estmable men
get badly "left" in the exciting and hazardous
pursuit. Political men must DO generous when
the political pot is boiling-no one disputes that.
That elections cost money is All indlsputable fact.
Yet generosity must be tempered with discretion
the open pocket must be covered with flap
through which the argus eyes OF the press cannot
penetrate, or both money or election will be lost,
and the enerprising candidate will find himself
in worse position than ever In politics. even
moro than in charity, must the scriptural adage
be Observed Let not thy right hand know what

JOAQUIN MILLER has exceeded all others
in the nastiness and revolving minuteness of
his description of Bon Buffers Tewksbury

concerning Buffers course is logical and well
expressed. He says;
AS for what he has done in this matter Of skim
ming the dead and tanning their skins, look
upon him merely as an informer-one who has
turned states evidence against his fellows in
crime. For he must have known this all the time

SOME people are trying to study out the

SOME people are trying to study out the
reason why the prohibitionists at the south are
mainly democrats while at the north they are
nearly all republicans. There is strong
antipathy against federal officials in the south
because the appointing power is republican.
The democrats there would like to abol-
ish the internal revenue system in order
that federal offices might be reduced in
number. AS they cannot accomplish this by
state action, they are quite willing to abol-
ish the whisky on which tax has to be
collected by republican officials after it has
been measured by republican gaugers. This
accounts for good portion of the zeal
with which some of the southern
democrats support prohibition. They
hope also to secure divisions in the
republican party on the subject. 1t may be
stated with safety also that the old bourbon
Bardolphs, whose noses are an everlasting
bonfire light, take much more kindly to the
enactment of prohibitory law than they
would to its enforcement.

THE New York Times thinks that the idea
that any president may, must, might, could,
would, or should appoint any men to office
"without any question asked or understand
ing arrived at as to what they will do with it
is too innocent for this workaday world" OF
course it is too innocent for evil-minded por-
sons. And yet appointments have to be
made, and that, too by the president, The
Times rays that all offices are patronage, and
that all patronage must necessarily be given
out under pledge that its recipients will use
it for the nomination and election of the pres
ident. The only remedy would seem to be
for the president to leave all vacancies un-
filled. If hOperforms his constitutional duty
by making appointments, he is to be coarsely
slandered by such newspapers as the Times.

THE New York World thinks the negro
makes mistake in seeking to get into politi-
cal offices, and that he should devote himself
to obtaining education by democratic help,
thereby fitting himself to form an intelligent
judgment on political questions. AS the
democrats south have no political creed ex-
cept to damn tho niger and to hate free
schools, we fear that Mr.. Pulitzor's advice,
though well intended, would, if followed, lead
to disappointment.

hear Samuel Sullivan Cox is very much
deceived man about the strength he has back of
him for the speakership. All of his support out
side of New York depends upon his having the
solid and earnest support of the delegation from
this state Cox in good faith believes he has the
delegation. Unquestionably he has the New
York city members, but the country members are
said TO be very doubtful They are to aman high
protectonists and would never be reelected If
they should vote for free trade speaker Ono Of
the best political authorities in this state went
over the list Of democratic members with me yes
terday and showed with reasonable clearness that
Cox could not expect to secure the support of the
delegation aside from any question of state pride
or personal popularity.
The men in the delegation who are unques-
tionably for him are Perry Belmont, William
Robinson Felix Campbell, Nicholas Muller, Will
lam Dorsheimer, John J. Adams, Orlando b.
Potter Henry W. Slocum.
The doubtful men are Abram s. Hewitt and
Waldo Hutchins. The other nine members are
high protectionlsts. Arnot, OF the Twenty ninth
district, is coal and iron man, a raging high pro-
tectionist Greenleaf of the Rochester district is
controlled by the Rochester Union, a high pro.
lection paper. Rogers, of the Buffalo district,
represents one of the heaviest manufacturing dis
trics in the country. He could not go for free
trade man without being mobbed at home 1t is
thought Mr.. Cox is deceving himself and will
not look at the stern facts in the case The dele
CATION might be secured to him for one compli-
mentary vote But 1t is said by the same author
ity who revised Mr.. Coxs list for that the high
protection members of the New York delegation
will work and vote for Randall.
Cox is working hard enough 10 make some-
thing. He is tireless in calling upon his friends.
He wants them to turn out after breakfast and
begin drumming up supporters. He works as
hard as if he were already in the fight at Wash
| ington.

FOREIGN HARVESTS AND CROP
PROSPECTS.


The confusion and financial disturbance
lately prevailing in the grain and provis-
ion trades, and resulting mainly from the
sudden collapse of the ill-timcd attempt
to corner the Chicago lard market, APP
pears to have greatly diverted the atten.
ton of the speculative public from the
harvest and crop prospects in foreign
lands, as well also, perhaps, as those Of
our own country, and prices, especially
of wheat, have slid down in way which,
aside from the financial troubles referred
to, would indicate that this was to be Il
year Of great cereal abundance the world
over; whereas, there is nothing of the
kind in view. From those countries where
the wheat harvest for this year has been
gathered, such as India, Persia, Egypt,
New Zealand, Australia, Tasmania and
Chill, the reports have not indicated that
anything more than fair average guam
tity of the grain had in the aggregate
been secured In fact, the Australian
colonies of Victoria and South Australia
the two principal wheat-producing col
onies in the great island continent-will
have decidedly less surplus to spare than
they had last year, Victoria having a
surplus of only 100000 bushels, Of
which ,l50,0Jo bushels had been ship
ped off prior to April, while the yield in
South Australia was US low as l.l3 per
acre, and left surplus for export Of only
$500 900 bushels, of which one-h half had
been shipped up to the end Of April. New
Zealand had better crop than her sister
colonies, as usual, but Australia makes Il
poor showing this year, and in the mat.
ter Of price their crops will exercise bu,
little influence in the worlds market
Chill is likewise of small account, in this
respect, her crop when at best, and it is
this year merely fair one, furnishing
only Il small surplus for Europe. In In-
dia, Persia and Egypt, fairly good crops
are said to have been gathered, but rs
the reserves of old wheat in those coun.
tries are admittedly small, the aggregate
supply thence available in Europe is no,
likely to exceed the moderate quantity
obtain I'd last year, and all the more so fol
the reason that prices are much lower
now than they were then,-Dornbuseh,

Fremont, Avery and Wilkinson, and a
detachment of seventy-fve infantry left
the post this afternoon about 1 O'Clock
for Evaro, the scene of the Indian trou-
bles. Nothing positive has been heard
up to date of writing. Rumor has it
that one white man and one Indian have
been killed. The operator at Evaro was
threatened by the Indians so much, that
the lines have been of no use to-day.
One thing is certain and that is
that many Nez Perces, Pend d Oreilles
and Flat heads have congreated in the
vicinity of Evaro or Camas prairie, it is
feared for no good purpose, Whisky is
at the bottom of the present trouble,
