Recent Reports ON the Crops.
Milling World.

Among the recent reports from the wheat
sections are the following, showing con
siderable damage from various causes:
A dispatch from Grand Forks says;
Wheat Is black TO the ground almost all
over the whole Red river valley. The
frost was so hard that leaves of elm trees
were blackened.
San Francisco. June 3. II is stated on
good authority that West side crops have
been injured greatly by two days of hot
weather during the past week, when the
wind blew from the north. tits estimat-
ed that the yield has been cut down fully
one-fourth by reason of the burning winds
early last week. The effect Of the weather
is seen in the grain head, which shows
scorching. Notwithstanding this unfort-
innate blighting the West side yield will
be enormous, as that entire section of
cultivatable land was sown to grain. and
in no instance has crop been wholly lost.
In some localities there are complaints
about the Hessian fly, but it is believed
the average yield will be fully twenty bu-
shells per acre.
A letter from OrlanG, Ind. says The
fv is making terrible havoc in wheat in
Lagrange ana Steuben counties. Wheat will
report wheat badly injured in Case st.

Government Clerks.
Cleveland Leader.

The statement of Wilbur, the patent
examiner, that he was bribed by Bell, the
inventor of the telephone, to give his
patent. was not considered of enough
note by the congressional committee to
allow its admission as testimony. 1t calls
attention, however, TO the corruptions
which may exist and which do exist among
some of the clerks at Washington, Many
of the clerks get information in advance
of outsiders, and it would be strange, in
deed, if they did not occasionally specu-
late upon this. There are bucket-shops
scattered all over Washington. You may
see them within stones throw of the
white house and the treasury, and there
is one just across the plateau of The CAPT
toll. Washington is full of patent agents,
pension agents and lobbyists, and the
records of the departments in the past
show that these have influence upon the
people employed in them. The average
government clerk is. however, an honest
man, and not a few of our most promin-
ent statesmen have served in the depart
ments. Horatio King, who was Buchan
ans postmaster general, entered the post
office department as a clerk Judge Ty-
ner, who was in Grants cabinet, was en-
ployed in the department when promoted
and Frank Hatton held n subordinate
position before he became head of the
post office department, Isaac Hill was an
auditor of the treasury, and afterward
senator from New Hampshire, and
there are n number Of instances similar
to these.
