Farmers generally give it as their
opinion that the outlook is bad for winter
wheat, although it is rather early as yet
to Judge of its condition or prospects for
a certainty. The crop had poor star
on account of the dry, cold fall weather
and this is what has done the mischief,
the winter having been as favorable as
could be desired for it.
The friends of the Milwaukee Sen

is not the case, while the Sentinel Com

Boston journal.
These charges, explicitly made in paper pub
lished in Mr.. Cleveland's home city, have been
before the public for week. Up to the present
time, so far as our observation has extended, no
Democratic or Independent journal has ventured
to deny them. We have seen only two attempts
at explanation, and both of these were in form
which virtually admitted Mr. Cleveand;s guilt.
The first Of these is personal note from Mr..
Bryant B. Glenny, of Buffalo, who, in answer to
the inquiry Of zone of the most prominent mer-
chants of Boston, admits the facts, but alleges
that the case occurred some years ago. when
Mr.. Cleveland was young man. and that
bly," In 1867 Mr.. Cleveland was hardly so
young man that his acts of that time are to be
condoned. The other attempted explanation is
written by IAN Old Resident of Buffalo to the
Times, of that city, urging the duty of under
taking Mr. Clevelands defense, and laying down
this astonishing line of argument
IF the true facts of this unfortunate affair became
known it would be found that Cleveland had acted
more manly than hundreds of men would have done
under the circumstances The original cause of the
trouble is something that happens to thousands Of
matter of most criticism. AS an older friend of
Cleveland, know that he treated the in the
case with great kindness, and she bounded him for
money. He had to borrow all nearly of the $500
with which he tried to buy peace after the wonans
habits and annoying calls on him had made life al
frequently threatened Clevelands life
Here again the facts are admitted, but com
lnseration is actually invited for Mr. Cleveland
because he had to borrow the $500 which he paid
to quiet the woman whom he had grievously

the Democracy IN the coming election lies in the
withdrawal of Cleveland and the substitute on of
a statesman with a clean heart and clean hands.
The Democratic party is rich in great men who
would honor the presidential Office and who
would be well nigh certain Of election. If our
own State is to have the honor, that grand old

cratic party as a candidate for the presidency"

LONDON, July 3l.--A Marseilles dispatch says
the lower classes dislike and oppose the physi
clans because they have got the notion that
the physicians have been instrumental in help
ing the cholera along in order to get rid Of the
surplus population. A paper read by medical
man in Berlin, auding the cholera as sweeping
off beings untitled for the struggle Of existence,
has been widely reproduced in France and has
helped to prejudice the people against the doc
tors and confirm them in the belief that the gov
ernment has adopted views similar to those Of
hostility towards physicians occurred in this
city yesterday A doctor was going into the
slums to attend a patient when he was con-
fronted by party Of the sick mans neighbors
with knives, who chased him away and pre-
vented his ministering to the sufferer.
A sad incident connected with the cholera
panic happened recently near Aries. A lad at
work on farm was seized with vomiting The
farmer refused to allow him to enter his house,
and the poor fellow died in field without care
and alone. When the father Of the lad arrived
he was not permitted to place his sons body in q
stable, but was forced to leave it in the open air
while he went to town to procure coffin. He
then conveyed the body on wheelbarrow to
the burial authorities, who refused assistance,
and the father was finally compelled to bury the
body in the cemetery unaided.

follows to the Utica Herald:
1T seems to me that leadieg question Of this
