What Has Resulted from the Attempts 10
Whitewash the Buffalo Scandal.
AForty Years Democrat. in New York sun
The independent defenders of Governor Cleve-
lands private character, who endeavor to white
wash the Buffalo scandal, are compelled to ac-
knowledge the main fact, brushing away only
certain minor coneomitant allegations.
Other defenders of the great reform candidate
seek to separate his private from his public
reputation, and deprecate the idea of paying any
regard to the private character Of candidate
for public Office The attempt to separate q
mans private morals from his qualifications for
public Office reminds one Of the priest who was
also civil engineer, and who on being taken to
task by his bishop for swearing terribly at the
men working under him on public forUfica-
ton. pleaded that he 'swore not as priest, but
as an engineer" The bishops reloinder Will
apply to the case Of Cleveland: What will be-
come of the priest when the devil gets the
engineer?" What would become of the Presl-
dent when the world should damn the man TOT
gross immortality
1t is folly to say that mans private character
should not be considered in connection with his
claims to position of high public trust The
people will not believe that man who is per-
sonally impure can be politically pure; nor will
they believe that man whose private character
requires reformation is a fit man to reform the
administration of the government,
Clevelands defenders have done him positive
injury Far better for him had they made no
effort to refute the scandal True, they have
stripped the story of some revolving features,
but they have confessed and left the damning
fact clearly exposed to the world in all its naked
agiiness and there it stands, stark and striking
stern and startling, defiant of contradiction; and
there, too, stands the disgraced and distracted
wornan-lately respected but now reTled and
scorned pointing her trembling finger at the
great reformer7 as the cause of her ruin! The
people of America are looking full at the fatal
of Barnum's committee profess to believe that
the people will elect Cleveland President of the

says:
Though the States are again reunited and all
contribute to fill the treasury of the general gov
eminent, the funds there collected are only ap-
propriated to provide for the ex-soldiers Of the
Northern States. The Southern soldiers disa-

those who died can only hope for relief from a

THE YIELD OF WHEAT.
The Total Product, Winter and Spring Va
rieties, Estimated at $1,000, 900 Bushels.

MILWAUKEE, Aug. 81. w, Talmage pre-
sents the following figures as final estimate of
the wheat crop of the United States for 1884.
The figures are based on official reports, made
within a few days, by the State Agricultural de.
partments and statistical agents Of different
States and Territories. The report shows the
total production of winter wheat to be $50 DOD,-
900 bushels, and the total of spring wheat, $780,.
100000 bushels; total winter and spring $50 O0e-
600 bushels This makes the total yield Of the
country 25, 600 bushels more than ever before
produced, 130, 100000 bushels moro than last
years crops, and $4,000 600 bushels more than
the average crop for the past Eve years. The
departments all agree in reporting the quality
superior, and where it has been threshed they
say the yield has more than met their calcula-
ions. This applies especially to the spring
wheat sections of Iowa, Dakota, Nebraska,
Minnesota and Wisconsin. The quality of the
spring wheat was never better The spring
wheat harvest has been late, but the weather
has been most favorable and the the grain
is being cared for in excellent condition The
following table shows the yield by States:

MORALITY IN HIGH PLACES.
The People Have Right to Demand Purity
in Their Rulers.

Herald and Presbyter.
We are sorry to see some of our contempt
raries deprecate any disposition to regard mans
morals in private life in making an estimate of
character suitable for public career. We have
right, and we are under obligations to demand,
that our rulers be men of righteousness, We
have then the best guarantee they will labor to
promote that righteousness which exalteth a
nation AS matter Of fact, when the right
eous are in authority the people rejoice; but
when the wicked beareth rule the people mourn.
But the question back of all this is What con-
stitutes righteous character in rnlers In de-
termining character. there should be no mystif-
cation or compromise. The hair-sp!it-
ting distinction between private and
public character, private conduct and
public service, which some are hastily, and, we
charitably trust thoughtlessly, disposed to
make, are utterly lnwarranted in reason, and
find no sanction in the word of God, according
to the principles Of which we are to proceed in
judging the character Of men. BY their fruits
are we to know them
In the selection of our rulers much more is to
be taken into account than the simple admins
tration of government. We are not TO overlook
the general influence and example OF those who
occupy prominent places of public trust None
are more influential over the young than those
placed in official position by the votes of the
people. Voting for bad men as rulers looks to
the young and ambitious like the APP
proyal Of immortality. The influence OF
Office is the higher, and is most potent element
in determining the career. shaping the aspira-
fions and forming the character of the rising
generation. In view of this fact 1t is surely IN
cumbent upon all who love morality and rehg-
ion, their country and good government as well,
TO have regard to the pr9yato character and per-
