CoNuNUED agitation Of The electoral
franchise in England shows the ear
nestness Of the feeling there for popu-
lar government. Enormous crowds
attend the meetings held 70 demand
an extension ofthe franchise, and the
whole country seems united in press
ing the matter. The property qualih-
cation for electors in England disffan-
chises the larger part OF the voting
population, and it is to remove or re-
duce this qualification that the present
agitation Is being carried on. The
qualified voters in England average
one toeleven Of the population, while
in the United States It is one to four
and a-half, and in France the franchise
is more popular still being one to four,
Yet in spite Of the greater proportion
OF voting citizenship in France, there
Ia greater popular liberty in England
now than in that country.

a disposition among farmers TO hold
or the market in hope OF an advance,
but there Is not hopeful prospect Of
favorable turn. The crop has been
an Immense one in this country, and
in foreign lands, where our principal
customers are, the yield has
been above an average, max
ing them less dependent on
American exports. In the present
condition it is difficult TO see where
there can arise sufficient demand to
cause any considerable advance in
the price here. A foreign war, II 1t
became general ana involved such ma
lions as France and Germany and
England, would create such de-
mand, but OF that concurrence there is
now no probability. The threatened
war between France and China may
have a slightly favorable effect on
market quotations, but it Will not AZ
feet prices greatly.
To give an idea Of the immensely of
the wheat product Of this country, the
following is an estimate Of the produc-

A WASHINGTON special Of Septem'
Der to the New Orleans Picayune
says: "onicers and clerks from some
OF the Western states, particularly
Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin, are
receiving letters daily from relatives
and friends at home. These letters are
a great surprise TO many who receive
them, and are causing much despond-
ency among Republicans in the gov
eminent service. Private information
is rapidly disseminated throughout the
departments, and has already created
a strong impression in the minds of
many that Ohio, Wisconsin and
Michigan are really doubtful states,
Not few OF the federal employees have
come TO the conclusion that Cleve-
lands election Is altogether probable.
This growing feeling in the federal
service is interfering seriously with
the collection OF campaign money by
the Republican finance committee"

If an Increased Republican majority
In Maine causes 30 much cackling Ia
that party, the Democrats have greater
cause TO be pleased at the result in
Arkansas. Hancock's majority in
this state was IS, sos over Garfield, and
1870 over both GARFIELD and Weaver.
The late election, held on the day
preceding the Vermont election, gave
the Democratic candidate for governor
a majority over all opposition Of "A, 1856,
being an increase OF almost 10000.
Blaine's own state, under the most
favorable conditions, after searching
canvass and the expenditure Of thou
sands OF dollars, without any special
effort on the part of the Democrats,
gave the Republican candidate this
year 10000 majority greater than in
1850, Arkansas gives the Democratic
ticket 80, 900 more than ia 1880.
In Maine the combined opposition
TO the Republicans, composed OF
GreeDbaokers and Democrats In 1880,
was weakened by the return of the
Greenbackers to the Republican party,
putting their strength against the
Democrats which had in the previous
election been used In their favor. And
still the increase was but 10000. In
Arkansas the Democrats this year
were opposed by Republicans, indie.
pendents and Greenbaekers, all unit.
ing upon candidate for governor,
and the Democratic majority ran up
from IL, 749 to li,iSG.
Everybody expected Arkansas to go
Democratic, lust as they knew Maine
would go Republican. A greater OF
less majority in either state is not sig,
nitieant Of much. If the result In
Maine Is TO be accepted as showing
greater Republican strength than In
1880, the result in Arkansas Is still
more satisfactory to the Democrats.

Nicholson, prominent elder in the
Mormon church, and one of the associ.

livered an address to large audience

causes which led thereto. He pro-

the Mormon religion aud abolish the
popular government because of the
Mormon majority. That conspirators
flooded the country with anti-Mormon
falsehoods, and that 1t was collision
between the clergy and political
schemers; that Gov. Murray, by schem-
ing, attempted 10 overthrow the ponu-
lar rule Ia 1850 of giving certificate

egate to congress; that he attempted

Ifthe falling OIL shall average but
twenty-five cents bushel from former
prices, the loss to the farmers Of the
country will reach the sum of $780,
100000. The larger wheat-growing
states will feel this loss most keenly.
Minnesota will lose $4,000, 600 and
Kansas $l2,OOO,OOO California slI ,OOo,-
600 and Ohio nearly 100000 The
actual loss will not, indeed, reach this
sum, as the home consumption will be
considerable, but the decrement will
be severe enough at the best. All OF
these states are Republican. The loss
of all this money through a fallen
market, exposing as II does the fallacy
of the "home marketr argument of
the Republican party, will set
farmers to thinking, and we should not
be surprised to see at least two Of these
states give Democratic majOTlties in
