THE agricultural department at
Washington has issued It's April re-
port, which shows a reduction of over
ten per cent. Of last years area in
winter wheat. The aggregate short
age amounts to 100000 acres. A de-
crease is reported in every state ex-
eept Oregon. The present condition
of wheat as reported is worse than in
1888. 1t is II per cent, against So last
year and Sd In 1888. In 1881, the year
of lowest recent rate of yield, the con-
dition at April lst was 81, and serious
low was sustained afterwards. On the
present showing the reduction Of the
yield on the basis of last years reduc-
tion promises to be 40,0O0,0OO bushels
on account of reduced area, and more
than 90. 900, 900 from winter killing and
low vitality. Whether the crop will
exceed 4OO,O00,0O0 bushels, or falls
short Of 1t, depends upon the RELIABLE
ity Of present appearances and on
future conditions affecting the growth
and ripening. In a months time o
more accurate estimate can be had OF
the winter wheat crop. Then the
spring wheat crop Of the northwest
must not be forgotten, for it may sup
ply a big deficiency in the yield Of
winter wheat.-St. Louis Grocer OF
April IS. 1885.

wednesday, April ao. 1885.

IN SPITE of the eventual quieting
effect Of General Middleton's artillery,
in the recent engagement, that
worthy commander has learned one
or two points about the purpose and
grit Of the half-breeds, which we in
fer will induce him to proceed with
more caution, and serve To make the
Riel rebellion more sterile and unin-
teresting source of news than the Illi-
noisl legislature. The struggle between
the Canadian troops and Riel and his
followers can only result in border
warfare such as was common In the
United States one hundred years ago,
and the fighting and trouble cannot be
stopped until Canada makes just con-
cessions TO the rebels or until she arms
her entire male population and for.
wards il 10 the front. Canada has
only one honorable and fair course to
pursue, and that her perverse, self
willed and stubborn nature prevents
her from seeing. The half-breeds are
fighting conscientiously for their
rights, and they will fight for them till
their numbers are so few that resist
ance would be absurd. Canada should
have respected these rights in he first
place and thus avoided the war for
which she alone is 10 blame. Fight
ing under the existing circumstances
is ridiculous and absurd, and will
amount to nothing but sorrow and
grief in hundreds of formerly happy
Canadian families and inflamed hate,
the seed of future difficulties among
the Canadian French and half-breeds.
Canada cannot afford the expense of
this campaign, nor can she afford the
reputation which her course id the
matter is winning. We cannot under
stand why little fairness in the first
place, and little diplomacy at the
first threatening of an outbreak, need
not have precluded the present trouble.
Whatever the outcome, Canada's po-
sition, for many reasons, is an envia-
ble one.

IT HAS not been uncommon TO open
court With prayer, and Que or more Of
the judges in Dakota are reported TO
have inaugurated their sessions In
that way, but Kansas reports the first
case observed where the aid Of the
Dlety has been invoked In the Jury
room. After a jury had retired, be-
fore celebrating on the evidence, the
proceedings were opened with prayer.
When this fact was learned by thsat-
torney against whose client the yer.
dict was rendered, he entered motion
to have the finding set..,aside on the
ground Of "undue influence exercised
by one OF the jurymen by public
prayer In the jury ROOM" This has
been taken TO the supreme court Of
the state. IL is conceded In the brie
that there is no objection to privat,
prayer, but insisted that an expert In
this subtle influence could play upon
the feelings and judgment Of the
weaker brother and control his ver
dict. The decision OF the court in Oh,
matter will be noted with some In

Before the Courts,

A ttorneys inform us thai, although
the civil trial list at the present term
of court is very long, there Is strong
probability that two-thitds Of the cases
at least will Do settled by arbitration
without going through with the for.
malties and expenses OF a trial. III
the criminal court, the cases with three
exceptions are of a nparatlvely petty
nature, notwithstanding the fact that
the Municipal Court has served a good
purpose in wedding out many cases
that might have been returned. The
exceptions alluded to are three Of q
capital nature involving the death
penalty, should the verdict be in the
frs. degree. Two of these exceptions
are for murder; and the other one for
rape. The parties are Lewis c. Davis
for the murder of Il ndrew 7. Peterson,
q faithful police officer, last Jure ,
Theodore Becker for the murder of
Horace l.. MoGinnis, at the Scheutzen
Park, in September last, and Charles
Robinson, colored, for committing a
capital outrage on Mrs Gardner, near
Clayton, In October. Though we have
no sympathy with crime, no7 would
we shield the guilty, we will say moth
ing to influence public opinion liz these
cases either for or against the accused
who stand before the country on trial
for crimes that may cost them their
lives.
