The October crop reports afford an ap-
proximate induction of the Weld of the
year. 1t is, on the whole, below the
promise of the early part Of the year,
but it is not so deficient as to have any de-
pressing effect. The cotton crop is now
estimate at 5000, 900 bales. This is less
than was anticipated but as there is al
ways a full demand for this staple, the
aggregate value of the yield is tolerably
stable. To a certain extent this is also
true of wheat, of which the yield this
year will somewhat exceed 40O, 00O, 900
bushels. This is about 20 per cent. be-
low the crop of last year, and the quail
ty is said not to be up to the average.
Corn has suffered from frost in the
north and northwest, and from drought
in the east and south, and is considera-
bly, below the average standard. Oats
and potatoes show a COED record, while
that Of tobacco is below the average. On
the whole those interests which depend
upon the crops of the country have a
fair prospect, but nothing more.

By the official statement of food i'm
ports into Great Britain for the first
eight months of 1888, it is shown that
during that period there were received
from the United States n~inety-five
thousand head of cattle, as against thir-
ty-three thousand during the same pc
riod of 1882, or nearly triple the num-

The decline of stock of all sorts this
season is estimated at sos, 673 900. This
does not mean that the properties re-
presented by the stocks are worth a
cent less than before, only are quoted
at less, owing to a lighter demand for
such properties. In most instances if
the holders at high prices a afford to
hold On, they will ultimately suffer no

HE Independents at the Chicago Convection had things at first pretty much all their own way. They defeated Powell Clayton for temporary chairman and elected an Arthur man. They se- lected John B. Henderson as a repre- sentative Independent and elected hIm permanent chairman. No small faction in a great party ever yielded so much power for a short time, and it IS DO wonder that they thought they had bagged the game. The Independents managed beyond their strength, iar be- yond the Blaine or Arthur managers, nor was the tide turned until Blaine awakened to the situation and had a word to say. It Was easy sailing when the Blaine ship got her sails flying be fore the wind, under Command of tho great captain. The victory was soon won. No better evidence can be fur nished than this that the Blame move ment was a movement of the people, entirely free from the machine element. The fact that there was such poor man agement on the part of the Blaine men proves the lack of machine work. It is ali the better for being free of such ob- noxious entanglemen;s. The day at one time seemed almost lost, so substantial and genuine was the victory of the In upon the first and second days of the convention. but the will of the people prevailed.

THERE were a good many things which the special grand jury recon mended which We believe ought to be carried out. Something's, perhaps un- necessary, but many very important, some of which should be brought to the attention of the next Territorial legis- lature and the people should urge the passage of such laws as will remedy evils which have in a measure brought about much of our trouble. A law loosely drawn is subject ;o two construc- tions, and it is frequently the case that said law IS drawn on purpose, that the unscrupulous or ignorant can be caught in a trap or enabled l. defraud the peo- pie. There is not that care taken in drafting the laws Of the territory there should be. It is now time, at least, that the people should be careful in their selections for the office of legislator.

There would not be the trouble and howl there has been in this as well as other territories and states If the marshGls, deputies and attorneys and deputies had been salaried. We have do doubt but that in many instances such officers have been unjustly charged with making unlawful arrests in order to make fees, and then again we have not the least doubt but officers have gone out of their way and arrested in- nocent parties just for the sake of the fees. It would not cost the government nearly so much, perhaps not Lalt SO much, as 1t does under the present sys- tenn, and the thousands of heart burn ings would not be recorded.
