The Farmers Interests in the Country.

The Farmers Interests in the Country.
The following remarks from a cores
pondent of a leading New York journal
are so conservative and judicious in
their tenor that We can well recommend
them to the attentive consideration Of
our readers, in view of the present state
of affairs in our country: The aereags
of this country in wheat is subject to
checks and Establishments, like the acre
age of peculation and railroad construo-
ton. 1t is when things are uncertain
that you want stability in your govern-
ment, and no party change. If we had
high and widespread prosperity presi-
identisl election would be a mere Mardf
Gras OK. Bnt when shrinkage and Ii
quidation and over-plusage are upon US
the conservative course is the only safe
one. A new administration at WASH
ington would not get the run of affairs
for years, and would be looted all the
while. The policy of. Mr.. Blaine Is to
create foreign markets and use our pro-
ductions instead of our money to keep
up our balances there. This is the poll
cy of the best statesmen in Europe, and
Africa, to use the manufactures of civil
lied states and so incnr debts their own
development of nature will pay of. No
political power could have kept wheat
up to the inflated price it obtained for
years in the absence of competition and
the failure of the foreign crops, but our
four million farmers made themselves
solvent and happy, and owe gratitude to
the providence of Heaven and man. We
had hardly two million farms befors the
war, and the size of the wheat farms has
probably increased with their number.
until they aggregate nearly 550,O0O.OOO
acres, or ten acres for every American
soul. In 1880 we raised 460,O00O00
bushels of wheat to only 100,O00,0O0
bushels thirty years before. The farm
ers themselves have been seeing that
wheat is not the only thing TO raise.
Hay and beef and horses and wool. hops,
mules. cheese. but,er and sausage hft
the great aggregate of the farm. Hay
Is in demand at 80 cents, and We raise
81, ,0O0, 900 tons year; nearly SO,OO0,OOO
pounds or hops at 2Z cents; oUOOOO.OOO
pounds of tobacco. where we thought it
conld not grow. Peanuts, canned goods
and poultry swell the tide. We raise
100000 bushels Of Irish potatoes an
nually, and they are bringing 81 IS Der
barrel, and two years ago it paid, never
theless. to send them here from Sect
land, because the average consumption
of American labor is the same the en-
ployer gets-thr>e meals day of meat.
Without the manufactures what is to
become of the farmer? Cotton in 1880,
produced S70,OO0,O0 bales more than in
1860 under forced labor. The corn crop
of the United Stales is over thirty BUSH
els for v>ry soul in it. The American
farmer Is himself manufacturer. and
makes cider by machinery of his own
production"

THE removal of the Chief Clerk of the
Labor Statistics Bureau by Governor
Cleveland is commended to the consid;
Grafton of those workingmen who are
deiuded with the idea that the Demo
cratic candidate is their friend, and to
all admirers of the cause of Civil Ser
vice Reform. Mr.. Healy, it is well
known, was the only real representative
of the workingmen in the bureau, and
he is highly esteemed by them. His
crime was that he did not support Mr.
Cleveland for the Presidency. So off
went his head. despite the Democratic
candidates. alleged devotion to working
men, to Civil Service principles and to
reform in general Unless we are great
ly mistaken, this insult to the laboring
men of New York will be bitterly resent
ed. No self respecting workman can
now vote for Cleveland. New York

The London Shipping World says:

THE London Shipping World says:
"The Republican candidate is strong
protectionist. in which respect he is in
full accord with the great bulk of the
American people. Moreover, he is a
champion of tue movement looking to-
ward a revival of the American sbipping.
= If the election of Mrs Blaine,
the leading American protectionist, to
the Presidency is TO be the signal of a
revival of American shippiBg.' the out
look for our merchant navy becomes the
reverse of hopeful" That is to say, Mr..
Blaine is inspired by desire to promote
and foster American interests. regards
ing the interests OF our people as para
mount. The Republican policy is not
broad enoOgh to embrace British inter-
ests, especially when they come in direct
competition with our own.

Criminal Court Matters.

In the Criminal Court yesterday Frank
Moses was sentenced to imprisonment for two
years, for shooting Henry Coins few weeks
ago Moses was boisterous in the courtroom,
and loudly declared that Prosecutor Brown had
lied about him in his speech. Judge Norton read
the young man severe lesson and remarked
that he was very sorry that it was not in his
power to set the jury's verdict aside and order
him hanged. George Lipskin, on plea Of guilty
to grand larceny, was sententenced to States
prison for three years. Henry Goddy, alias
johnson, who recently made a murderous as
sault his wife, was given six months.

THE HARRISON FAILURE.
The Receivers Report TO Be Filed This Morn
ing-What the Bondsnen Say.

There was nothing particularly new yesterday
in the affairs of the broken banks but import
ant developments are expected this morning,
when Mr.. Harrison will make his report to the
court in the matter of the receivershp of the In
! diana Banking Company. It has been practically
admitted that the $50 900 or 500 600 of the funds
of that concern, which Receiver Harri-
son is supposed to have in his possession,
are not now available, having been sunk
in the general wreck of the Harrison Bank. 1t
is also given out that Mr.. Harrison's defense to
the court will be that as receiverfor the Banking
Company he deposited its money with Harrison 8
Bank, having confidence in its stability and
owing to force of circumstances the money was
lost IN the collapse of the bank, the deposit hav
ing been drawn upon exactly as all other funds
sponsible for the money, he is not criminally
liable for its loss, as he took every precaution
for its preservation.
The feeling against Mr.. Harrison on the part
of his bondsmen, as well as the general public is
quite bitter, and the former have positively re
fused to prevent the law from taking its course
in case he cannot, for any reason account for
the $685. 600 (which includes the Ketcham fund
in his possession as receiver. There are some
who have gone SO far as to say that they would
press the case against him in the Criminal Court
unless the matter was satisfactorily cleared up
without unnecessary delay.
The police surveillance was yesterday with
drawn from the interior of Mr. Harrisons resi-
dence, although an officer is Stall detailed to
guard the outside.

The Whitsett-Coyer stabbInp,

Additional details received at police headquar-
tiers concerning the Whitsett-C Cover stabbing
ARRAY, which occurred on the Lafayette pike,
north of the city, on Sunday evening, show it to
have been particularly brutal affair. Whitsett
had been attending picnic during the day, and
came home in the evening slightly intoxicated,
and began quarreling with his wife for not hav-
ing accompanied him. She left the room to
avoid his abuse, but returned shortly, when
Whitsett resumed his quarreling and threatened
to strike her. Cover, who was present, inter
posed himself between them and asked him to
desist, at which Whitsett attacked him and
knocked him down. After Cover was down
Tom Fritsch, friend of Whitsetts, kicked Cover
in the face and Whitsetts father beat him over
the head with cane. Whitsett, while holding
him down, said I've good mind just to give it
to you right here" and one of his sisters ad-
vised him to do SO. He thereupon drew his
knife and stabbed the PROSTATE man six times.
The entire party then fed and have not yet been
apprehended Cover, although dangerously in
jured will probably recover.
