MIR. BLAINE's FUTURE.
He Is Too Great Man To Be Laid on the
Shelf Because of His Defeat.
New York Sun (Dem)


Our neighber. the Times speaks of the de-
feated candidate of 1884 as 'the late Mr. Blaine {"
We notice in other quarters disposition to take
1t for granted that the political career of this
magnetic statesman has been abruptly termi-
mated and that the only part remaining for him
Is TO carry along the down grade of life as dec
orously as possible the honors and memories of
an exciting past Even his cousin, Mr.. James
S: Blaine, is reported saying in Pittsburg
His hopes are blastsd, and his monumental am
btion will crumble, and, in the great wreck of
his life will be crushed out
Nonsense! Mr.. Blaine is only fifty four years
old. Men who were voters before he was born
are still both active and powerful in shaping
public affairs If his health lasts-and Mr..
Blaine's vital powers appear to be I'M
commonly elastic-he ought to be good
for about quarter of a century more of
lively work. His defeat in the convention of
1876 did not blast his hopes, His defeat at Chi
cago four years later, did not paralyze him. We
are very much mistaken in our estimate of
Brother Blaines endurance if we find now that
anything has been crushed wrecked in him
except his hopes of being inaugurated as Presi-
dent of the UEited States on March of next
year, and, possibly his faith in the political val
ue of the Rev. Dr. Burchard.
1t is altogether too early to retire Mr.. Blaine.
His ability, his experience, his audacity and the
attachment of his political following remain. He
is not the sort of statesman to crawl quietly onto
the shelf because certain Tuesday half a
dozen hundred votes in New York were Demo
cratic instead of Republican. He stands at the
head of a united party, more compact and in
better shape for opposition than it was for ad-
minlstration, and clear of that part of its
membership which personally hostile to
himself. Mr.. Baine's Republican enemies have
done their worst against him, and now they
have taken themselves off INTO the other camp.
That is the way, suppose, in which Mr..
Blaine and his friends look at the matter
The natural place for Mr.. Blaine during the
next four years is in Congress. Unfortunately
for the party, which, in the sharp and interest
ing contests of the near future will need his
services more than ever before. neither of the
Maine seats in the Senate will soon be vacant
Mr.. Eugene Hales term lasts more than two
years longer; Mr.. Frye's until March 4, 1885,
Perhaps, however, the two senators from
Maine will be able to agree between themselves
which of them shall resign in order to make
room for Mr.. Blaine Or, still better, he may
return to the House of Representatives There
he would be a.power of no doubtful magnitude

The Issue.
AIle
Terre Haute Express.

Mr.. Blaines speech last night in response to a
serenade, is one of the very best he has ever
made. 1t is not whine; far from it. II is the
talk of man who is big enough to see the mean
ing of events regardless of his personal con
nection with them, though that connection be of
supreme Importance. There is in this relation
of the South and the colored voters to govern
ment of the people by free ballot, question
that is to be the issue before the people for the
next four years. 1t is right, it is imperative,
that this question should take precedence of all
others, because it affects the structure of the
government, and compared with which all other
questions necessarily secondary.

Disease and Distress in virginia.

IYNcHBURa, Va, Nov. ia tale of deep
distress comes from Buchanan, Wise and Dickin-
son counties, occupying an isolated position on
the extreme western limit of Virginia. For
some weeks fatal disease has been prevalent
there, and the number of deaths is terrible. The
nature of the disease is yet underlined, but is
supposed to arise from poisonous water. The
drouth there for months has nearly dried all the
streams, springs and wells, and it is supposed
that the water left is impresnated with mineral
poison. a reliable correspondent tells pitful
story, ana says in some cases as many as four
corpses were found in single house.

MIR. Blaine's Sensible Speech.

Z.
Mr.. Blaine made short and sensible speech
yesterday, on the recent election His views of
the Southern question are worthy of attention
and consideration, and we believe that if such
ideas had been pushed to the font during the
campaign. the result would have been different
from that which is now recorded. Among the
newspapers of the country the Globe Democrat
stood almost alone during the whole campaign

The best that can be said of him is that he is
what is called personally honest, and has never
been known to be interested in dsreputabe
money making. For the rest he is professional
politician of the most Objectionable type, and
from the first to the last of his political career
he never gave hint of being possessed OF a states
manlike idea 1t was a good day for the Repa5
lican party when he was gotten rid of a. an
active participant in its affairs, and that he
is retired he had better be kept retired.

Condition of Crops in October.
We clip the following from the De
partwent of Agriculture, Bureau of
Statistics, for October, 1884:
CORN.
The October returns of corn average
higher for condition than in the past
five years, but not 80 high us IN any of
the remarkable co,n years from 1875 to
1879 inclusive. The general average
ia 90, which is very nearly an average
Of any series Of ten years, and indicates
about &c bushels per acre, on a breadth
approximatiug 20, 900 900 acres. The
region between the Mississippi aud
the Rocky Mountain slopes again pre-
sents the highest figures, which In
every State rise a little above the nor
NAL standard "f full condition. No
State east If the Mississippi returns
condition as high as 100. The lowest
figures are 73in West Virginia !: Ohio.

Carolina, 53. Thu red ,ction wasicaus

WHEAT.
The wheat crop will exceed that Of
last year by about one hundred mil.
lion bushels. Thrashing is slow aud
late, with results thus far confirming
the indications O:fOrmer reports. The
yield per mere will average about 49,
bushels.
The quality of the present wheat
crop is generally veV good. especially
in the Eastern and Middle States, on
the western slope of The Alieghanies.
and in Michigan, Wisconsin,. and Min
nesota. Some depreciation in quality
Is noted in Indiana, Illinois. Iowa. Mis-
souri, and Kansas. The average for
the entire breadth il IS.
OATS.
The yield of oats is u little above
average. yielding about 81 bushels per
acre. and making a crop approxima-
ting $40, GOO. 900 bushels Of good quail
ty. The principal part Of this crop is
grown in the higher attitudes, yet it is
becoming an important one in the
South. 1t j. nearly useless to attempt
its growth as Il summer crop. If sown
in the autumn to grow in the winter
it gives much satifactiOn.
POTATOES.
The condition Of the potato crop is
represented by SO, which ia five points
lower than in October of last year. It
is two points lower than in 1879 and
1882. and the same as in 1880. 1t indi

SWEET POTATOES.
In al! the States bordering the Allan
tic from New Jersey to Florida. in all
the Gulf States, and in Arkansas and
Tennessee there is more or less damage
from drought on this crop. which in
many localities is almost a total failure
from the cause mentioned. There are.
however. favorable reports from some
counties. particularly in South Caroli-
ma, Florida, Alabama, and Arkansas.
HOGS.
Reports from a considerable number
of States indicate that cholera is max
ing serious havoc among the hogs. The
prevalence Of this malady ia reported

south "a Alabama, and IA far west as
Nebraska. In portions Of Maryland
