We notice several such endorse
mcnts Of senator Bayard, Delaware's
great Statesman, in many Of our ex-
changes. The Memphis Ledger says
Deep interest has recently been ex
cited in Democratic circles at Wash
ington City, regarding the question
Of the Presidential nominee, and the
friends of Senator Bayard haN C begun
to work actively IN advancing his ia
tercst, affirming that he will fiji every
condition that viii be required to di-
rect the party in a victorious campaign.
There is no question but that Bayard,
if chosen, would be one of the strong
est candidates before the country. 1t
is safe to say he would carry New
York State without any difficulty.
lie is exceedingly popular in the
Empire State; has never participated
in the local antagOnisms Of the Dem-
cratic party there, and would be ac-
ccptabIc to all factions. His record
is clear, he is knowH to be one OF
the purost, abIest and best men in
the nation, and even hls political
enemies admit that he is beyond
reproach. The hardest thing that
has ever been said about Bayard is
that he is too good a man t. even be-
come President eff the nation.

The American in casting up the re
suits Of the recent State Convention
thus gracefully turns into line:
"But the Democracy have decided
against us, and while the American
can no more alter its convictions on
this question than the leopard can
change its spots, it knows how tc
accept the pecstion Of its party, fairly
made, and 1t knows what is its duty.
It's duty is to stand by the Democra.
ic party and fight for it as it has il
the past. This it will do cheerfully,
hcaeliIy, and in good fmth, with al
the ability it manls."

Wheat Prospect.

Chicago, June 24.-From reports
received by tho Farmers Review as to
the wheat prospects there is promise
Of full average crop, but not an
enormous yield. The average yield
promises to equal that Of 1888 with
increased acreage. Reports from
Dakota are uniformly OF a favorable
character. Minnesota have the
promise Of % per cent. Of an average
crop. Wisconsin gives promise Of a
full average crop. The prospects in
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois are Only
fair and have shown no Improvement
since the last report. The yield in
Michigan promises to fall under the
yield Of last year. Reports from
Missouri are discouraging in tone.
In Kansas the outlook is good but
not quite SO promising as a month
ago.

a large feld-warden, and prepared
it by blowing and sowing buck

in flower he pIowed it under, and

some manure and little phosphate he
had a grand piece Of ground on when

A PELICAN,
Strayine Far From His Native LOuisi-
ana, is shot by an Arkansas
Farmer.

A pelican of the largest size ever seen
in this locality was killed by farmer of
Arkansas some fifteen miles down the
river a few days ago, and the dead bird
shipped by the Dean Adams to Mr.. J. S.
Caruthers, OF Skinner Bros, of this city.
The name of the lucky marksman did not
accompany the trophy, but it is stated
that the shot was made with a rifle at 800
yards range. The bird measures a frac-
ton less than nine feet from tip to tip of
its wings, and its body is large in proper
ton. Its bill is fully fifteen inches long,
the pouch large enough to hold half a
gallon of grain. 1t is pure white, except
ing the pinions, which are black 1t was
hung up ON exhibition at the Cotton Ex-
change, but the cotton samplers went to
work on it as they would have done a
prize bale of cotton, and as Mr.. Caruthers
desired to have its skin and plumage
stuffed and mounted he took it away and
turned the prize over to taxidermist. Mr..
Caruthers places high value upon it, as it
is the emblem of his native State. Very lit
tie is known here of the habits and traits of
the pelican, as they are not often seen so
high up the river. 1t is conjectured that
the almost entire overflow of the State OF
louisiana caused this bird to seek hig'
attitudes in search of food. Others place
weather significance upon the stranger s
visit, predicting it as presage of an in
tensely hot season soon to follow. If the
shootist had killed the pelican in the State
of Louisiana, he would have been liable
to heavy fine, besides severe censure and
perhaps social ostracism, not only for as
saulting defenseless bird, but for lack OF
State pride, patriotism and respect for the
bird that occupies the same position in the
hearts OF the people of that State as does
the American eagle as national emblem.

Serious Charges Against Judge Adv,
&rHairrl

eate-GeperaI Swain.
WASHINGTON, April 16.-Mr A. E. Bate
man, of the firm of Bateman & Co., bank
ers, OF this city, to day filed with the Sec
retary OF War letter, in which he says:
at becomes my duty to prefer charges
against Brig. Gen. d. G.. Swain, at the
head Of the Bureau of Military Justice of
the United States army, for fraud, and for
conduct unbeeoming an officer and gem
tleman. l stand ready to prove that said
Swain has committed fraud to all intents
and purposes upon the banking house of
Bateman x Co., of which am member
Some two years ago said Swain having
deposited the sum OF $1,000, received
upon his departure for the West a simple
due-bill, at his request, to have in case ac-
cident should befall him. This amount
was checked out subsequent to that date
by said ID. q. Swain, for which we have a
number Of vouchers. After having
drawn all the money out, and settlement
being made, he negotiated and transferred
the duel for the full amount with GER
tain parties of this city. l am ready to
prove that said d. G.. Swain assisted to
negotiate army pay vouchers with our
firm which he knew to be fraudulent and
triplicates of outstanding accounts. l ask
that a court-martial be ordered for the
trial of said d. g. Swain on the charges
preferred. / desire when it is ordered to
amend this by presenting other charges
under the head OF conduct unbecomins
an officer and gentleman. | am, sir,
very respectfully, A. E. BATEMAS."
Gen. Swain was seen by reporter to-
night and the charges made by Bateman
read to him. He expressed himself as
greatly surprised, and said there vas
not a word of truth in tie charges.
He said he had deposited money
| with Bateman, and taken due-bill for the
amount of deposit, which due-bill he had
| afterward disposed of to the contractors
who built his house, but at the tim e the
the sdne-bill was disposed of by
him the money was on deposit
in bank He denies that the deposit was
checked out by him, charges Bateman
with attempting to blackmail and says he
has brought these charges in order to get
out of paying the amount of this due bill.
