The FRENCH WINE CRoP.-The news
comes from France that the wine crop
in that country for 1885 was the smallest
that of one year excepted, for thirty
years. The quantity in 1875 was nearly
1850, ,000,0 900 gallons and the average for
the ten years ending in 1884 was $50,
100000, but the returns are said to show
only $4,000, 900 for 1886. Mildew, the
phyloxera and bad weather were the
causes for the decrease. These figures
have some significance for American coz
sumers of French wines. They show
that adulteration must now be resorted
to more extensively than ever before.
Where one gallon of wine was imported
into France ten years ago, thirty gallons
are imported now This foreign wine
from countries on the Mediterranean is
"doctored" in France and sold at home
and abroad as native product. 1t is
not strange that the exports have fallen
off since the practices of French vine
makers were exposed by our CoDsuls
stationed in that country and by other
persons.-NeW York Times.
One splendid result of the return of
the brigadiers to the halls of congress, is
great advance in oratory. We have

of the movements Of the gold bugs to
cripple the silver mine interests of South
ern and Western statesmen, be says:
"This scourge which is sought to be
visited on the people of the United States
comes from the cold marble and phleg-
matte avarice which seeks to impale the
whole country on the bed of suffering in
order to crafty its lust for gold." Some
critics may cavil at the awkwardness of
sought to be visited" but all will be
thrilled by the picture of the cold marb lie
with its lust for gold, seeking to drive
bed of suffering through the body of the
country. The lustfulness of cold marble
las long merited this condemnation and
We are glad Mr.. Mills has had the courage
o give it. A country impaled upon
