James Anthony Froude on Nihilism.

In all countries there are disaffected
members, and the Nihilists of Russia
are what the dynamiters are in England.
War would only divert the people from
the doctrines of the cause. AS long as
there is standing army of 2,000,000
men IN Russia the Russian has but lit
tie hope for constitutional government.
This force will always cheek any out
break This immense amount OF SOL
diers is so distributed as to dispel any
idea of a successful Nihilistic uprising.
Besides, the dsaffection is not so great
rs is supposed. The Russian country
districts have as good local self-gov-
eminent as there exists in the world.
1t is practically democracy. Their
local affairs are all left to their own adj
ministration. The effect of this is to
implant principles of independence and
liberty in the people, which may event.
ually result in bringing about some
change in the general government. But
this can never take place while an army
equal to that of Xerxes stands ready
for action at the nod OF al autocrat.

Mr.. Tailmadge's Estimate.

Mr.. S. w. Tallmadge, Secretary of the
Milwaukee Chamber of Commerce, has
prepared his fourth general report on the
condition aud outlook of the wheat crop Of
the United States for 1886. Notwithstand-
ing the current rumors that the wheat con-
dition has developed great improvement
during the past ten days, the reports show
to the contrary. Where slight improve
ment is noted in some Of the smaller pro-
ducing States. other and larger wheat
States show a still further falling off in the
yield, and from the very latest advices from
the principal winter wheat States Mr.. Tall
madge says lie can see no good reason to
change his late estimate of 331, 900, 900
bushels as the probable total yield of win
ter and spring wheat.
The spring wheat States, Iowa, Ne
braska, and Dakota, report the wheat In
excellent condition, with every indication
of a good average outcome, but we must
not lose sight of the fact that these States
have inst entered into the trying month
for spring wheat.
Reports from Minnesota show consider
able damage in the southern part of the
State, while Northern Minnesota shows
the crop in promising condition. Many
excellent judges say the State will do we'll
to yield 33. 10000 bushels.
Wisconsin is reported in fair condition,
but owing to the decrease in area and al
most total destruction of the winter wheat
the State will not produce over rs per cent
of last years crop.

ONE must have been deeply impress
ed by the self-devotion of the lady who
was engaged to Mr.. G.. p. Reed, of
Ohio, recently, and replied to him
when he wrote that "his health was so
bad that he thought it unadvisable to
marry"-"she would marry him if he
didn't live three weeks" As he died
in twenty-four hours after she had mar
ried him and gave her bequest of q
large property, one is led to wonder if
she might not have thought of that
when she was so prompt to insist on
the marriage. When the fancee of
Capt. Dacre, of the Guerriere-we
think it was-was told by him that
'"his wounds had left him the wreck of q
man." and he offered to release her from
her engagement, she said "she would
marry him if there was enough left of
his body to hold his soul" is there a
difference here?

CHICAGO Ne,Us: Last year when the
revenue from liquor licenses was divid-
ed between two taxes, one'of $500 and
another of $3.50, there were $500 sa-
looms in existence in Chicago, and the
proprietors all protested that they were
carrying all the license they could, and
that If il was made uniform at $500
they would be crowded out of the bust
ness. This was the view held by
the Saloon-K eepers' Association, the
Liquor Dealers Association, and q
large class of politicians and others.
In spite of their protests the license
was placed at $500. What is the re-
suit? There have been up to date 1904
saloon-licenses issued, and there are
about fifty more places to hear from.
most of which will stay in the bust
ness. Two years ago the fee was $50 a
year. 1t is now nearly ten times that
sum, and brings in total revenue OF
$1,652, 900. This demonstrates that
high license Cat least as high as we have
got does not curb the liquor traffic,
but failing in that it turns into the City
Treasury handsome revenue which
can be used with clear conscience as
the lesser of the two evils. These
figures will prove subject for deep
thought on the part of other cities now
struggling with the license problem.

"YoU may be sure that Mr.. Blaine
will never again be candidate" re-
marked friend of that gentleman to a
Washington correspondent recently.
"He believes that his chances are ex-
hausted. Do you know" said he, "that
ne has queer belief that there is a
marked similarity in the career of
Henry Clay and his own. Early in life
both went from their native States to
Kentucky. Both entered public life
as members of their State Legisla-
lures. Mr.. Clay was Speaker of the
lower house in Kentucky. Mr. Blaine
filled a similar position in the Maine
Legislature. Mr.. Clay was a member
of Congress afterward and served as
Speaker sixteen years. Mr.. Blaine
was also a member of the House, and
served as its Speaker six years. Mr..
Clay was first elected to the Senate
from Kentucky to fill vacancy. Mr..
Blaine was appointed to the Senate, b!i.
also to fill vacancy. Mr.. Clay re-
signed his seat in the Senate to accept
the Secretaryship of State from john
Quincy Adams. Mr.. Blaine resigned
the Senatorship to become Secretary of
State under Garfield. Mr.. Clay was
three times the candidate for the Wing
nomination. He was twice defeated in
convention. He was finally nominated
in 1874, but was defeated by James X.
Polk. Mr.. Blaine was beaten twice in
the national convention, nominated in
the third one, and was defeated by
Grover Cleveland. Mr.. Clay's letter
on the Texas question is held to be a
parallel to some of Mr.. Blaine's letters.
The Abolitionists in New York in 1884
threw their vote to Birney, and there
by gave the State to the Democracy.
1t is claimed that last year, if it had
not been for the votes given to st.
John, Blaine would have carried New
York. The vote of New York decided
the election in favor Of the Democrats
in 1874 and again in 1881. Mr.. Clay
was never candidate after his final
defeat, and it is believed by Mr.. Blaine's
friends that he will never again be pre-
scented to the public as candidate.
The parallel between himself and Mr..
Clay will probably remain unbroken.

Rlaine,s Political Future.

A well-known Maine man who is
visiting in Washington, said to-day
"The manner In which Mr.. Blaine is
acquiescing in the result of last No
vember's struggles brings him closer
to the heart of the people OF his State,
and there is no place within their gift
he could not have 10y indicating that he
would take it. He can return to the
Senate or to the lower house within
two years if he chooses. And as he
intends to remain in the public view it
is more than likely that he will accept
q seat in Congress after his literary
task has been completed. Either SEN
ator Hale or Congressman Milliken
would retire to give place to Mr.. Blaine
If he should desire to return to the
active duties of the House or Senate.
Small as the return, Hale could be-
come Governor. Frye would not yield
unless compelled to, and it would keep
Blaine busy to beat him if he tried.
There is general feeling here that
the matter can be arranged 90 accom-
modate oil the statesmen. There is
also belief that while Mr.. Blaine may

THE Current: b. +. Eastman writes
to the Portland. Me-, Advertiser that,
on the 9th of June, 1916, as he remem-
bers, the ground froze in the region OF
Portland to the depth of two inches, and
summer birds died with the cold.
There were frosts in every month OF
the year except August, and not one
bushel of corn ripened. People with
money went on horseback to Halloweh
to buy the Virginia Cor horsetooth)
corn at 50 bushel. People without
money went hungry all the next winter.
What would tire poor Communist do in
such year as that? He would never
have strength enough to deliver his

robbed of the fruits of his toll, although
such robbery rare thing-would

VICE PRESIDENT HENDRICKS recently
met Slugger Sullivan, according to a
Harrisburg paper: Mr.. Hendricks, be-
ing informed of the champions presence
in the train, expressed desire to meet
the Boston warrior. He was taken into

ghenies, and the two were presented to
each other. After introductions around,
cigars were produced, and the two
hardest men in the world to knock out
smoked and chatted. Mr.. Hendricks
iocularly remarked: well, John, they
say you're hard hitter" ayes; when
1 hit man 1 try to hit him hard. "
"Do you ever hit anybody as hard as
you CAM" "No, sir; don't try that.
L am afraid. But when fight try to

"Well, doesn't it hurt to be hit in the
face?" ooh, yes; it hurts; but i don't

Didn't Object to Being Kissed.

w. T. Carleton has been not a little an

ANOTHER outrageous miscarriage of
justice is reported in the acquittal of
Riddle and Reiber, the men who ruined
the Penn Bank at Pittsburg less than a
year ago. Riddle was President and
Reiber cashier, and they conspired to
use the funds of the bank in speculat-
ing in oil, while they deceived the di-
rectors by system of false accounts.
The bank was one of the oldest and
strongest financial institutions in Penn
sylvania, but it could not stand the
loss of million and half dollars.
When it broke large number of de-
positors were completely ruined. In
vestigation showed that the bank had
been literally plundered by the Presi-
dent and cashier, who had embezzled
the money and used it attempting to
get up corner in oil, while the books
had been doctored with false accounts
and mythical depositors, so that the
directors were completely deceived. 1t
was case of larceny rather than en-
bezzlement, and the money was vir-
tually stolen for the purpose of gam
bling in the oil market. Yet, with
these facts made clear beyond all dis
pute, the jury found the defendants
not guilty! The jurors must have been
actually corrupt or else incapable of
approaching common honesty in bust
ness transactions.

Condition Of Wheat, Corn, Oats,
and Hay In Illinois, Indi-
ana, and Ohio.

A Comprehensive Summary.
indianapolis telegram


The forthcoming number of the Indians
Farmer will contain full reports of the
condition of the various crops in Indiana.
Illinois. and Ohio. From advance sheets
the following is taken:
We have very full reports OF the condition OF
the various crops In the three central Western
states. IL will be noticed that the condi ton OF
the wheat crop In Indiana does not differ greatly
from our June reports. as to FER cents. Many
or our correspondents write that the wheat has
headed longer than usual, and that the berry is
very full and plump, and that wheat will be OF
fine quality, weighing heavy. The showers OF
June contributed TO this result largely, keeping
the plant growing. In Illinois the reports put
the condition lower than heretofore. and IL il
quite evident that the crop Will be exceed
ingly short one in that State. Our Ohio reports
are nearly % last month, as TO condition. though
IL Is stated that wheat has filled finely and will
be or good quality, though the crop there will
be short, as elsewhere.
Reports generally agree as to the fine condi-
tion or the corn crop As stated In the June re-
port. the ground was never in finer condition
Tor this plant. May was dry, which caused the
younS plant to root deep, and June Was very
BeasCnabie Tor fair growth. Reporters mention
the splendid roofing OF the plant. and while IL
has not grown 30 rapidly as in some former IA
ss s.ea and Of the
ever grown There have been complaints of too
much rain in some counties Of Illinois In par
ticular where drainage has not been attended
TO. but from some Of thesareporters state that
corn during the latter part OF June was cleaned
up OF weeds, ard is doing well.
Oats and hay both fine Indeed, there
seems to be one short crop-that OF wheat, and
all else now promises we'll We can see no rea-
son for disbursement in the farm outlook.
Wheat Summary-lndiana: The June report
put the condition at 81 per cent. OF an average
crop. Now it is stated at Ga per cent. illinois,
June report 40 per cent, but our reporters think
IL will not exceed 40 for the whole, State. This
Is the worst for years. Ohio: JUNE reports put
the condition at 20 per cent, but now the con-
dition Is reported at SO per cent The highest
condition of the wheat crop and the best yield
Is in the northern sections OF the three States
Corn-Ihis crop now promises TO be large in
all three States. As stated in our June reports,
the area is large, and IL the shall be fair
from this on, these States will probably grow
the largest corn crop ever harvested.
Oats-This will also be large crop. juno
has been very favorable for 1t. and all reports
agree in the promise of a large yield and good
quality.
Hay-The frequent showers in June have kept
the meadows growing and in fine condition.
The yield OF the hay crop will be excellent, Is
the report from nearly all sections
