The artist displayed with a great deal of
enthusiasm an unmounted photograph Of

OF the horses could be felt, and the whole

The Crops and Business.

The revised estimates of the principal
cereal crops of the country show that
wheat is likely to be more abundant
than last year, but corn, rye, oats and
barley will be in smaller supply than
usual. The wheat crop is now put at
425,000,000 bushels; oats, 500, 100000
bushels; rye, 30,0O0,000 bushels; bar
ley, 3O,000,O00 bushels. The loss in
the corn crop will be from forty to sixty
per cent as compared with the average
yield. 1t is estimated, however, that
there are SOC, 100000 bushels of last
years crop to be added to this years
yield. Wheat has gained an advance
in American and European markets.
The European crop is estimated at a
shortage of $50, 100000 bushels as COM
pared with a good average. 1t is ex-
pected that the foreign demand will be
large and that prices will be considera-
bly, higher than at present. Marked
improvement in various channels of
business is noted by the trade journals.
The wool market maintains its strength.
The export movement of merchan-
disc is increasing, as also west-bound
shipments of dry goods. There is no
plethora of money, but the volume of
currency in circulation and obtainable
is amply sufficient for all the practical
requirements of commerce and pro-
ductive industry. The feeling of con-
fidence seems everywhere growing, and
the belief is quite general that the long
business depression is about to give
way to more healthful and active
condition of affairs.

man of the republican caucus and re-
tanned as chairman of the judiciary
committee. Therefore the Free Press
assumes that this settles the question
of his " leadership" There is much
reason for believing that Mr.. Edmunds
has been thus treated because it is the
polite course for the senate republic
cans, in view of their small majority,
to discourage divisions in their ranks
and to keep peace in the family"
But the record of the past session
shows that Mr.. Edmunds is no longer
able to unite the senate republicans in
favor of any measure of which he
makes himself the special champion.
The opinions of many leading republic
can journals throughout the country are
to the same effect.
In regard to Mr.. Edmunds' personal
habits, the Rutland Herald, with more
candor than the Free Press, or perhaps
realizing that the truth must eventually
come out, admits that he is not total
abstainer, but claims that "he is not
sufficiently addicted to drink " to cause
anybody to make it a subject of writing.
This statement is deliberate misrep-
resentation of facts, but of course it
was intended for an ante-election pur-
pose. Without discussing the matter
further at this time, it may be said that
the Herald and Free Press have not
done Mr.. Edmunds any great service
in their lame attempts to defend his
personal habits. They have stimulated
inquiry among their readers, with the
result that the truth is being disclosed,
and the effect is not favorable upon
Mr. Edmunds. Probably public in
terest in the matter will not end with
the election.

Mr.. Blaine ut Home.

Il. C. Crawford of the World has been
paying visit to Mr.. Blaine at his cottage at
Bar Harbor, Maine. The picture Mr. Craw-
ford draws of Mr.. Blaine and of the social
and political side of his life is very interest
ing. The quiet days at Augusta have
swept from his face every trace of care and
annoyance. His color is clear and fresh, and
his eyes bright with the light'of high health
and happiness. Mr. Blaine's beard is now
nearly snow-white His hair is also white,
with soft gray tones through it. But the
freshness Of his color, the alertness of his
look and the vigor of his fine physique take
away any idea of age that would be sug-
gested by the Wilderness of his beard and
hair He does not look a day older than
his real age--ifty-hve years Mr. Blaine is
sensibly and modestly reticent upon public
questions. He was asked what he thought
would be the issues of the coming cam
paign. He said 81 think the fight will be
made upon the old lines of 1884. The par
ties are now more closely united for and
against the protective tariff system than
ever before" During the two or three days
that | have been at Bar Harbor | have
heard as much gossip and comment about
the Blaines as | did two years ago, when
was here in the midst OF a presidential cam
paign, when he was one of the principal
figures. There is to-day as much interest

In his movements and what he SAYS as then.
Few believe that Mr.. Blaine's public career
is at an end. He is yet too young. There
is no republican who is to-day consulted as
much by his associates as he, and it is not
probable that there is any republican in the
country who takes more interest in politics
than he ] have heard Allison of Iowa mem
toned as possible combination with Mr..
Blaine, and in the event of Mr. Blaine not Sc
curing the nomination | think his strength
would go to Allison. There slavery cordial
feeling between Mr. Blaine and John Sher-
man. Colonel Moulton, John Sherman's
brother-in-law, who has been here for sew
eral days in consultation with Mr.. Blaine,
says that Sherman would not take the sec
ond place on the ticket and that Sherman is
not presidential candidate.

olAs time rolls on, better and better
the political prospect opens up for
the Democratic party in this State.
The dissensions OF the Republicans
in San Francisco appear ineurable,
Throughout the interior they are di-
vided on questions which in their ma
ture can never be settled amicably,
while everywhere the Prohibition
party is eating into their vitals. II is
already recorded in the book OF fate
that the present Republican party
has received its death-wound in the
State and nation. The name may
survive, but it can only do so when
the party has been reformed on a line
with modern progressive ideas, which
will really make the party new one
under an old name; for the Republi.
can party has now no ideas or princi
pies of any kind, whatever, except the
ancient, ragged and thread-bare hates
and prejudices OF the war which end
ed over twenty years ago. II ii hat
any principles at all it would no
present the pitiable spectacle that /
does now in California and all owe
