"A Western exchange contains the fol-
lowing article, which we think applies in
some respects 10 the farmers of this Sec
ton:
Western farmers are very naturally
complaining of the low price they are
getting for their wheat, and the lower
price they will get for their corn. 1t has
been estimated that the former ought to
bring the farmer 81 and the latter % cents
II bushel to pay him for his work; and
when he is forced to take 65 cents for the
former and 20 cents for the other there
would appear to be reason in the COM
plant that farming does not pay.
But the case is not us bad as it appears.
There is another side to the matter. The
estimate OF 81 bushe for wheat is Il fair
price il the estimate of twenty-five years
ago is used, when fifteen To twenty acres
of wheat and thirty acres of corn were
as much as IN average farmer with the
help of his own boys could attend to; and
it is not applicable to the present condi-
tion of farming, in which the farmer, with
the aid of improved machinery and implc-
meutS, can cultivate one-third more acres.
The present grain crop will have to be
sold ut unusually low prices, it is true,
but there is an unusually large crop, and
il is probable it will bring into the State
nearly rs much money as any previous
crop. Another fact TO be considered is
that all things are rs low in comparison
rs wheat and corn-Sugar cents lower
than usual, coffee ) cents lower, and cot
ton and WOODEN goods, clothing, shoes,
blankets, hardware, tools, harness and
farm implements 10 to % per cent. lower
SO that the farmers crop this year will
90 almost rs lar us usual.
1t may DC true that farmers will not
make any money this year; but neither
will other classes. Manufacturers, mer-
chants and other business men are reap
inc no profits. Most Of them are losing
money. There is Il general complaint
throughout the country that there is no
profit i'm anything. The markets Of the
world are glutlcd with products and goods
OF all Kinds, which have to be sold at such
prices rs TO leave little or nothing to the
producer. In fact, the world, with its
productive capacity enormously increased
hy steam machinery and improved nipple
meu,S, seems to have entered an era Of
low prices for all ncceSsarieS and COM
forts, AMI farmers are 10 worse off than
other classes, if, indeed, they are not in a
bette: condition than any other class.

PLEASuRE "TRIP.
The Winnie Wrinkle and Fishing

The Winnie Wrinkle and a Fishing
 Party.
 The Winnie Wrinkle, twenty tons, of Short Beach, set sail on Tuesday last, having on board Commodore David Corey of Pearl Goodyear 6 Ives shop, this city, MT. A. w. c. Williams of Short Beach, and Stephen Bradley of East Haven, together with the skipper, Mr. Oliver Hall of Short Beach, and hts son, sixteen years of age, the latter chief engineer of the cuisine department. The run from Short Beach to Napeague, L. l., inside Gardiner's Bay, was made before night fall. At Napeague the party went clamming and soon dug an abundance for bait and Wednes- day went fishing and caught ffty-six fine bass weighing from two to five pounds each and thirty-six large porgies. The same day they made Block Island, where they landed and inspected the place including a barber shop near the shore, kept by one Croesus.
 The next morning they caught 79 codfsh The champion was Mir. Bradley, who caught the largest cod, veteran of 20 pounds, and was presented with leather medal by the commodore. MT. Corey caught a founder weighing SM pounds. The next day they land over at Stonington and the next fshed at Fishers Island, the catch being blackfish and 104 large cunners, the latter weighing {. from two to five pounds each. The party , arrived home early Sunday forenoon well pleased with their trip, and they speak in ! high terms of satisfaction of their very able { and popular skipper whose seamanship { is unrivalled. The Napeague clam grounds are famous and brigade of expert clammers | thrive in pursuit of these bivalves.

before the affair happened, so Officer Murphy
 could not have been in the car as it was re-
 ported. That closed the testimony.
 Commissioner Bollman moved that the
 Board find Officer Murphy guilty of striking
 Officer Gelston but not of the other charges
 and that he be eensured by His Honor
 the Mayor. Also that Officer Gelston be
 censured for using language unbecoming an
 officer. This vote was passed unanimously.
 The men were called in, and Mayor Lewis
 rose, laid his cane upon the table and pro
 ceeded to rebuke the policemen He spoke
 in his most impressive manner. Both of
 you disgraced yourselves" he said. "You for got yourselves and your duty as public off cers of this great city. You have both been good officers. It is surprising that you should have quarreled thus This Board ex-
 poets that the officers of this Board are to CO., operate with each other in performing their
 duties. We don't want ever to hear of any thing of the kind''
 The main testimony in the MeBrideBrad ley case was heard at the last meeting of the Board, but Roundsnan McBride's chief wit l ness, Officer Ahern, was then out of town and consequently his testimony could not be taken. Officer Ahern appeared last evening and testified that he saw Roundsman Mc- Bride stop and heard the man talk; the voice sounded like Supernumerary Bradley's, but he couldn't be positive who 1t was. The man was in citizens dress and he wore no shield. The Board balloted on the question whether Supernumerary Lyman E. Bradley
 was guilty of conduct unbecoming an officer
 on the night of May 5th by obstructing Roundsman Mcbride The vote stood as fol- lows: Not guilty, 5; guilty, 1. As the | charges were not sustained the officer will be ! reinstated.
 A petition was read from the residents of I the eastern portion of the Twelfth ward ask 1 ing for 8 police telephone signal box. It was 1 ordered on file.
 1 Commissioner Hart moved that commit | tee of two be appointed to select suitable I voting places for the forthcoming elections. l Commissioners Hart and Catlin were appoint l ed as such committee.
 Messrs Hart and Catlin were also ap- pointed a committee to consider the matter ! of the extension and purchase of the tele- phone signal system already used as an ex- l pertinent.

Police Nofen.


 The reward of $50 offered by Samuel A. Porter, of Wolcott, for the recovery of the team stolen from his barn last Monday night was paid yesterday to De- tective Brewer, instead of George Ives of the brick yard in North Haven. The reward was paid somewhat grudgingly, because the team and thieves had been secured before the owners notices had been sent out. Some parties unknown forced an entrance to the office of Halstead, filling & Harmount, lumber dealers at 1O9 Water street, Sunday night and. made off with three coats and vests. The thieves are supposed to be two rough looking men who were seen around the office about two o'clock yesterday morn ing by the watohman across the street. On August 18th Sarah Parker went into Posts saloon on George street and created 8 general breach of the peace by breaking glasses and causing other damage. She was arrested last evening and will be called up- on to answer before the City court this morning
 Rudolph Kailer was arrested last evening on charge that he had insulted some young ladies.
 In consequence of telephonic message from above Broadway, the police yesterday af- ternoon proceeded to barn in the upper part of the city and found a wagon and harness. A horse had strayed into yard not far from the barn and the property, it was be- lieved at the police office, belonged to Con rad Grieply of Ansonia, who while at South End Sunday, in attendance on the Ger man picnic, had his team stolen. This proved to be the case and later Phillip Aston (colored) was arrested for the theft. He is said to be half crazy young colored man.
 Michael Kelley drank too much beer last night, which so muddled his brain that he engaged in quarrel with his wife. He will have to answer to a charge of breach of the peace this morning in the City court
