THE UNCERTAIN STATES.

There remain six debatable states
California, with 8 votes; Indiana, 16;
Nevada, 3; New Jersey, 8; New York,
So, and Ohio, %. OF these so-called
uncertain states, casting SO electoral
votes, which seem to stand between
the solid south and the solid north,
California, Nevada and New Jersey
were carried by the democrats in 1880;
Indiana, New York and Ohio went re-
publican. New York and Indiana were
carried by the democrats in 1876. Ohio
has gone republican at all presidential
elections for thirty years.
= In 1880 California gave Hancock
plurality of only rs votes, there being
three tickets in the field. Nevada gave.
him majority of 879. New Jersey,
where also there were three tickets,
gave Hancock plurality of 2,010 votes.
Indiana gave Garfield a plurality of
$3.50 votes. In New York he had q
majority of 6,4S3 votes over all, and in
Ohio majority over all of 25, 129.
o. these so-called doubtful states the
democrats do not expect to carry Ohio
next fall. They see that their party is
too badly broken to pieces on the tariff
question in that state to give them any
hope there, even if they should go SO
far as to nominate an Ohio man, which
nobod, here of influence in the party
thinks of doing.
On the tariff question New Jersey
must probably be counted on the re-
publican side. About Indiana the tariff
reforr democrats have no doubt. They
count that state securely democratic
this year, partly because of the popu-
lar demand for the tariff reform and
partly because of the resentment still
felt in that state at the way in which
the republicans carried it in 1880. Cali
fornia and Nevada are believed to be
reasonably sure for the democrats,
though the republicans believe they can
carry both of them.
The republicans believe they can car
ry Virginia and North Carolina this
fall, and the great increase in the last
two or three years of northern settlers
in Florida gives them strong hopes of
that state. Western democrats, on the
other hand, believe that there has
been so great a change of sentiment in
ScfSld oil uOIGuWcSIcIu SGatCS III IuC ldSG
three years that if the tariff issue is
squarely made and thoroughly and
fearlessly discussed, they may hope to
carry Michigan, Wisconsin, Nebraska,
perhaps Illinois and possibly Iowa. 1t
is certain that at the last congressional
election the democrats made surprising
gains in some of these states, and they
made these mainly on the tariff issue.
Thus from Michigan there were no
democrats in the last congress, but six
in this; from Iowa there was but one
democrat in the last congress, but there
are four now. In Illinois, in 1882, the
republican state ticket had not ma
jority over all, the republican vote
being only 4S Ia per cent. of the total
vote cast, and while in the last con-
gress there were but six Illinois demo-
Gratis the present house nine.

Nebraska Crop Reports.

We present herewith the reports re-
turned to US from 81 counties, embrac-
ing the oldest and most thickly popu-
lated portions of the state. From the
reports returned and the character of
the correspondents feel assured that
the reports are as nearly correct as can
be made, except by careful canvass
of each county, which for lack of
means at our disposal is impracticable.
l have requested the county commits
sioners of the several counties TO pro-
cure blanks and instruct their assessor
TO collect statistics and return the sans
to the county clerks at the same time
they return the assessment rolls, that
they may be consolidated unpublished
for the benefit OF all. 1 find from let
tiers received that the officials will, as
rule, cooperate with US, and therefore
believe we shall be able to present q
satisfactory and creditable report when
their reports are returned to US.

He Declined the Offer.

Ottawa (Ont) Citizen.
A short time since certain aspirant
for journalistic hOnors who resides in
Ottawa, wrote to the proprietors of a
leading Chicago daily offering his ser
vices as editor-in-chief for 50 600 per
annum. A few days later he received
a reply, and was greatly delighted to
find that the opening lines of the letter
accepted his offer; but he was not,
however, so delighted when he read
the remainder of the letter and found
that the editor would be required not
only to write editorials and exercise a
general supervision over the paper, but
also, when occasion might require it,
to fulfill the duties of night editor, city
editor, reporter, foreman, business
manager, mail clerk, pressman and
devil; apd that at times he might be
required to work day and night for sew
eral days at a stretch. When the fresh
young man found out what would be
required of him ne concluded to give
up the idea of editing Chicago daily
for $4,000 year.

The city covers 122 square miles, and
its streets would extend $500 miles if
thrown out in one continuous line, the
limits being fourteen miles in length
and eight in width. 1t is lighted by a
million gas-lamps, contains 1,4OO
churches and 800 hotels. Among the
population are 5000 master tailors,
$500 butchers, 2,400 bakers, 300, 900
domestic servants, 141,0OO paupers,
and London contains more Scotch
men than Edinburgh, more Irish
than Dublin, more Jews than Pal
estine, and more Roman Catholics than
Rome. Some interested details were
given in regard to the provisions re-
quired to feed this vast populace, the
butchers beef alone being of the value
of s5O,O0O,OOO sterling. The amount
of malt and spurious liquors used to

IT'S HOME WHERE THE HEART is.


IT'S home where the heart IL,
Where ere Its loved ones dwell.
In cities, or In cottages,
.Throng'd haunts or messy dell.
The hearts rover ever,
And thus on wave and wild,
The maiden with her lover walks,
The mother with her child.
IT'S bright where e'er the heart is.
1 fairy spell can bring
Fresh fountains to the wilderness,
And to the desert spring.
Green isles are In the ocean,
Der which affection glides,
A haven on each sunny shore,
When loves the sun that guides.
IT'S free where ere the heart Is,
Nor chains, nor dungeons dim
May check the minds aspiring thought,
The spirits pealing hymn.
The heart gives life its beauty,
Its glory and its power;
IT'S sunlight to its ripping stream
And soft dew to its flower.
