Chicago, July 21-Not q single dull
moment elapsed during the afternoon.
The jury, lawyers, judge and spectators
were kept fxedly, without the slightest
relaxation, at the same high tension to
which they were raised when the days
developments began in tho early morn
ing hours. A determined attempt was
made by the defense to show that the
bombs manufactured the afternoon OF
the dsy on which the massacre occurred
had no necessary connection with the
riot in Haymarket. The witnessed was
tangled and made answers more or less
satisfactory to the defense till the court
decided that the attempt had proceeded
far enough. A new line OF queries was
quickly substituted by Foster, the
object being to impeach the oredibility
of Seliger and place him in as
odious a light as possible before
the jury. He was partly success
full, though without affecting the weight
of his testimony. Seliger told how,

DroI1Nr IN THE WHEAT r.nnp.


Washington. July 20-The statement
OF the crop conditions of the LIST day of
July, compiled by Prof. Dodge, statis-
tician of the agricultural department,
and telegraphed to the press on the 10th
INST, is to-day supplemented by q fuller
report, giving additional facts and fig
ures of al interesting character. OF
spring wheat the report says: The con
dition of spring wheat has declined
from 98.5 in June to 1878. in consequence
Of high temperature, drying winds and
want of rain. Should there be no
further reduction the present
condition should insure 1875, 0OO.0 e0
bushels. 1t should be understood, how
ever, that loss Of vitality so early in the
season exposes crops to further injuries
by the heats of July and August, and
renders it highly probable that the
average condition at harvest may be
lower. Making some allowance for this
probability q iudicious and reasonable
interpretation of the July report OF
winter and spring wheat would show a
prospect for an increase of about S0.00o,-
600 bushels ahovs she official estimate
for 1885. The winter wheat area
already assures nearly enough
for home consumption and seed.
The condition Of oats is lower than In
any former July report since 1879, when
the yield averaged % bushels per acre.
The present condition is 8S. against 81
in July OF that year. The average for
rye is 95.6. against 81 last year. The
condition Of barley is somewhat lower at
the present date than on the
list of July Of any previous year.

ness for a monetary standard is plain to
every unprejudiced eye. Its usefulness
as money is gone, and it ought to be dis.
carded.
When the Emperor Theodosius decreed
the destruction Of the remaining heather
idols in the Roman empire, there was one
of the god Scraps, at Alexandria, which
was held in peculiar veneration by the
people. 1t was colossal in size, made of
valuable metals of various kinds, and
majestic in appearance. The priests
who ministered at its affairs rallied TO its
defence, very much as our eastern money
lenders now rally to the defence of the
gold standard. They fortified themselves
in its temple, and were only overcome af-
ter a regular seige. When, finally, an in
trepid christian soldier, armed with an
axe, proceeded to demolish the huge and
costly image, the multitude of spectators
held its breath, and awaited the thunder
bolt which they confidently expected
would punish his audacity. No thunder>
fblt, fell, and the idol was broken up and
destroyed. Even then. the historian
Gibbon tells us. "some hopes were still
entertained by the pagans that the Nile
would refuse his annual tribute to the im>
Dious masters of Egypt, and the extraor-
binary delay of the inundation seemed to
announce the displeasure of the river
god But this delay was soon compen-
stated by the rapid swell of the waters.
They suddenly rose to such an unusual
height as tc comfort the discontinued
party with the pleasing expectation of a
deluge, till the peaceful river again SUBJ
sided to the well known aud fertilizing
sixteen cubits'
Something like this will be our expert,
ence with TIE gold standard When it is
overthrown, its partislus, aud perhaps
some of its opponents, will expect Il tinan-
clal thuuderbolt to punish the sacriege,
-b,st no rhunderbolt will fell and no deluge
will come, only peaceful swelling of the
waters of prosperity.

THE devotees of the gold standard ex>
hibit the same perturbation over its APP
preaching dethrone ment that might be
expected of pagan savages at the threa
tened destruction of their chief idol To
be sure, remarks the New York Sun, the
calamity is still far off, and may not ar
rive for years, but it is impending, never
theless, and the bare thought of it is ter
rible to them, They oppose vigorously
Mr.. Morrisons sensible and practical
resolution to apply small part of the
surplus in the national treasury to paying
off the Understanding debt, and to that
extent tightening the burden of the tax
payer, merely because in some way, not
to be understood ner explained, it will
possibly assist in the displacement of
gold coin for silver dollars. The meas

under other circumstances, should COM
mand universal appreciation. But it ap
parently imperils the supremacy of the
gold standard, and therefore they de-
ounce it with all the epithets that a par
lsan imagination can invent.
This fanatical devotion to gold As the
only standard which it is permissible to
employ as measure of value Is as pure
superstition, too, as any which exists
among the heather The metal is but
one out of the many products of human
industry, and. like them, it derives its
importance from nothing but its capacity
to supply human wants. 1t is \ conven-
lent material for money, because OF its
durability, its compactness, its easy di
visibility. and its universal acceptance
among men. For all essential purposes
silver, copper, lead. iron, wheat, corn,
co lion, tobacco, and even timber. would
quite as well serve as common measure
by which to carry on the exchange of
commodities. In fact, some of these
productions are superior to gold in tina,
the supply Of them is less fuctuating,
and, therefore, their relative value to
other commodities is more stable. With.
in forty years we have seen the annual
yield of gold suddenly quadrupled, and
then gradually diminish by one-half. Its
exchangeable value, or its purchasing
power, has varied in a corresponding
ratio. As present, gold is getting every
day scarcer and scarcer and consequently
learer and dearsr, and its growing unfit
