MR.. BROWN AGAIN.

Eiitor FIRE Press.
In your notice of my Arguments on

or failed To mention that the city gov
eminent that had been guilty of the
wanton waste of city funds used to per
petrate the unnecessary, the uncalled
Tor and senseless outrage perpetrated
OH 9TH street and the abortion on Jack
son, was Democratic CITY government.
Now, Mr.. Editor, permit me ~ say
that you err in that respect. did not
forget that there was Il small majority of
se'f-styled Democrats in the city council,
ror did | fail To remember that there
were four or five professed Republicans
among the infamous perpetrators of this
unparalleled, in the history of the state,
municipal outrage upon the city, as well
as upon few citizens. And ! also had
a very vivid recollection, from no one
of them have yet heard IN expression
of regret for the action of the council, or
sympathy for those wronged by their
action. And | had not then, and have
not now forgotten that there has been no
difference in the expression of sympathy
for the injured, or detestatiOn for the
wasteful extravaganza and wanton out
rage perpetrated by this singular COM
ton of Gods creation, and both political
parties, among the intelligent men of
both parties who have visited the scene
of their doings. Now, while il may be
your privilege, as the publisher of Re-
publican journal, TO make all the pOliti-
cal capital possible out of this municipal
foolishness, wrong and outrage, you can
but admit that with all these recollec-
tions fresh in my mind, however bitter
ly detest the political principles of tie
Democratic party, it would have been
the basest ingratitude on my part, and
set me down to the lowest level of the
meanest of the council, had sought or
attempted To make of this u party ques-
ton, and hold friends and sympathizers
in this matter, who CHANGED To belong
To the Democratic party, responsible for
the sins of the conglomerated mass of
laundering stupids, or vindictives that
constitute the city government.
Very truly yours,

saging in philosophical .sdiscussions
OF The future Of Repudlicanism.
Some defeated candidates for the
Presidency might think, after their
failure, that the field OF minor poli
tics wasn't good enough for thom.
and would retire into seclusion of
imaginary dignity, and never appear
in any other character than that of n
man who was once next door to be
ing President.
But there is no such nonsense
about Brother Blaine. With him
bygones aro bygonos. He is far
moro likely to jump into the politi-
cal cauldron again, and particularly
into the Ohio cauldron. than to
moan over the fatalities of 1884, and
spend bis days in thinking of what
might have been. lie is not of the
sort that lives more in the past than
in the present. He is a man with o
close grip on the things of the day,
and he keeps an eye on the future
besides.
There is going to be a great con-
test in Ohio this fall. John Sher-
man is expected to appear in his
party 8 behalf 10 greater prominence
than ever before. All the Republi.
can leaders of Ohio will be out do.

that with the right man as the Dems

cans to win, if they can win ut all.

Those who think that the Repub.
lican party is through with Brother
Blaine can be sure that Brother
Blaine, at least, is not through with

glory ?-N. y. SIM.

THE CROP PROSPECT.

A good deal OF attention has lat
terly been given to crop prospects
aud few days since q footing was
given by tho United States Agricnl-
tural Bureau, which showed pros
poets Of very heavy falling off frcm
the product Of last year, and from
the average of tho last five years.
The Iowa Agricultural Society cup
plements these estimates with re-
ports from | 500 special correspon-
dents, which fix the production oi
that State at about 20,7SS,000
bushels of whoat, while that of Ohio
is put at only 2S,000,00O. Taking
the general drift of all tho reports,
the decrease in tho crop given at
6rst seems to be very nearly cor
roborsted. 10 corn, the prospe ct
seems to promise yield somewhat
greater than that of last year. On
the whole, with the stocks left over,
there is no prospect Of the price OF
breadstuffs being advanced to an
oppressive extent, unless circum.,
stances, OF which there are no indi.
cations now, should arise, such as
an extraordinary foreign demand.
As the wrinkled fronts which Eng
land and Russia were putting on a
few weeks ago seem to have smooth
cd considerably, it is not likely that
the row between them, which is in
ovitable, will come off in timo to af-
feet prices iu this country until the
crop 1886 will be coming in, so We
may calculate that tho breadstuffs
producer will share the depression
oil the rest must labor under this
year.
