On Wednesday, when there was general
talk in Chicago that there would be break
to Gen. Sherman, it was published as fact
probably by some Blaine man who feared
such break would come-thst the General
had sent telegram saying that he "would
not accept if nominated and would not serve
if elected" The fact proved to be that Gen.
Sherman had written letter to Gen. Hen
derson declining to have anything to do with
the nomination, and that, fearing the letter
might not be received, he had followed it
with telegram saying, "Please decline any
nomination for me in language strong but
courteous" The old veteran meant there
should be no doubt about his position in the

The reduction in the public debt, less cash
in the treasury, for the month of May was
four and three.quarter millions. This brings
the total reduction for eleven months up to
nearly ninety-two millions and if the aver
age keeps up for the month Of June the to-
tai reduction for this fiscal year will reach
one hundred millions of dollars. 1t is with
this surplus pouring steadily into the treasu-
ry that the Democratic majority in the House,
which has the exclusive control of revenue
legislation, has failed to take one cent from
the burdens of the taxpayers. This is good

The Effect Of she Cold Wave on the
CFORa.

A correspondent in the north part of the
county writes "a week ago farmers were
rejoicing in the anticipation of large hay
crop. The frequent rains during the month
of May had done much TO restore the old
meadows which had given but poor returns
for two years past, owing to the dry seasons.
The extreme cold of last week has changed
the aspect, and it now looks as though it had
materially damaged the hay crop, besides
cutting the corn and potatoes level with tn
ground. Strawberries are mostly killed, and
it is feared the apple crop also. The only
consolation the writer has derived from the
general outlook is in the detected appearance
of the potato bug"
