Henry Watterson, editor Of the
Louisville Journal, writes from Lon
don Of the contest for homerule: 'eThe
Tory obles believe they are fighting
for their titles and perhaps their es-
tates. In this I think they are right.
The tendency Of the world is set as
much against feudalism in the close of
this Nineteenth century as, in the be-
ginning Of the century, it was set
against slavery. Indeed, prerogative
is but another name for slavery. It
is only a question Of time when the
house Of lords will go. After that the
deluge. Emancipate the servile Eng
alish people from this thraldom to feud-
al IDEAS and they will become the most
brutal Of leverers. The crown will fol
low the house OF lords.

lore the Yale law school discussed the
relations Of the laboring mass and the
capitalist class. He said it will always
be true under any political system
possible for US. that the best way Of
creating a proper reverence for law is
by taking care that law is worthy Of
reverence by its singleness OF devotion
to the general welfare; that the best
security for private properly is in
taking care that it is only honestly

Regarding Millio,1aires,

M1llionaires are disliked as a rule,
Indeed, it is rare that one millionaire
looks with any degree Of favor upon
another millionaire, especially when ho
thinks the other fellow has few mil.
lions more than he has. "a man seems
to descend in popular favor in proper
ton as he ascends in the million scale.
Envy is at the bottom Of this dislike as
a general thing. Let o man who hates
millionaires wake up Some fine morn
ing the possessor Of q few millions him
self, and the change that would come
over the spirit Of his dreams would be
astonishing. He would no longer
scowl at the millionaire as he ROLLED
along in his sumptuous carriage. No,

The President surprises Everybody.

The president treated the senate to an
other surprise by sending in the name OF
Capt. Theodore Schwan,. Of the Eleventh
infantry, to be major and assistant adju-
ta.nt general, in the place OF the late Col.
Benjamin, the son-in-law Of Hamilton Fish.
It was fully expected that Lieut.. Greedy,
the arctic explorer, would get this place,
and he was strongly urged for it by many
prominent scientific men as well as politi-
clans. It is believed that congress
will now revive the bill authoriz-
ing the president to appoint an
additional assistant adjutant general.
Schwan is native OF Germany, and en-.
listed as q private in the regular army
soon after his immigration to this country
in 1857. He served through the war, first
as O private, then corporal, sergeant, and
finally second lieutenant, receiving q cap
tain commission and a majors brevet in
the reorganization OF the army in 1867.
He has been in the regular service for near
" thirty years, and has an excellent rec
ord. He has been almost constantly with
his company and, except for a short time
in recruiting, his service has been constant
ly in the West.

Crops SUFFERING From Dry weather

Crops Suffering From Dry Weather.
The Pioneer Press presents reports on.
the condition Of tbs wheat crop from ey-
cry Important Twheatsgrowing county in
Minnesota and Dakota, and about one
hundred counties in Iowa, Wisconsin and
Nebraska. These reports show the crop
to be in much worse condition than on
June !. The dry weather in May, which
became quite a severe drouth in June, had
more serious effect on small grain than
was Mt first supposed, and the injury
caused them is just now becoming
painfully apparent. There has been very
little rain since the first week in June, and
no general rain since seeding time. The
rections not affected by drouth are the Red
river valley Wahpeton to Grand Forks,
md the. Northern Pacific country from
Brainerd to Bismarck. in Minnesota and
Dakota. South OF the forty-sixth parallel
ths weather has been very dry, the drouth
being severest in the extreme southern
counties OF Minnesota and Dakota, .ex-
tending we'll down into Northern Iowa.
In Southern Minnesota and Dakota
wheat was sown, in most counties, in the
dust, and the rains since then have been
light and not frequent enough to give the
ground a good soaking. During the stool
Ing period, in May the weather was very
dry and the result il that the crop is thin
OH the ground and short in straw. Them
tensely hot weather of the past ten days
has added materially to the injury, as the
ground was in no condition to withstand
any serious drouth.
