EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, ID. c., July IA, 1885,
To the Heads of Departments in the Service Of
the General Government:
deem this proper time to especially warn
oil subordinates IN the several departments
and all oficehoders under the General Govern
ment against the use Of their official positions
in attempts to control political movements in
Oniceholders are the agents Of the people, not
their masters. Not only is their time and labor
due to the Government but they should scrupu-
lously avoid, in their political action as we'll as
in the discharge of their official duty, offending
by display OF obtrusive partisanship their
neighbors who have relations with them as pub
lie officials. They should also constantly remem.
Der that their party friends, from whom they
have receive preferment, have not invested
them with the power of arbitrarily managing
political affairs. They have no right as ottce-
holders to dictate the political action OF their
party associates. or to throttle freedom OF ac-
tion within party lines by methods and prac-
tices which prevent every useful and justihRble
purpose of party organization. The influence
OF Federal offices should not be felt in the ma
nipulations of political primary meetings and
nominating conventions. The use by these
officials Of their positions to COM
pass their selection as delegates TO polit-
ical conventions 10 indecent and unfair, and
ments Of Official place win also prevent their
assuming the active conduct of political cam
paigns. Individual interest and activity in
political affairs Ere by no means condemned.
Officeholders are neither disfranchised nor for
hidden the exercise Of political privileges but
their privileges are not enlarged nor is their
duty to party incre ased TO penicious activity by
officeholding
A just discrimination in this regard between
the things citizen may properly do and the
purposes for which public office should not be
used Is easy i'm the light OF correct apprecia-
tion OF the relation between the people and
those intrusted with official place and a con-
sideration OF the necessity under our form OF
government of political action tree from official
coercion. You are requested to communicate
the substance of these views to those for whose
guidance they are intended.

TwEs long ago, In summer time,
/ caught my muse and sought to climb
Parnassus hill.
Sho balkod and then. with careless ease
i said, -Good lass, go as you please
And whore you will.
-The higher heights longed to try
To reacn tho stars, to float and fly
Ger Holicon-
found YOU and your aid sought,
But hero You are, you gool-for-naught,
You won't go onl"
She laughed n merry laugh, and then
Sho lured me TO a quiet glen
Amongst the trees.
-Seo yonder whero the hawthorn blows,
Tho daisy and the mountain rose
Let's sing OF these.
LET poets used to letter flight
Slug OF the realms beyond our sight,
In strains sublime.
Well hymn the haunted leafy dell,
The vale whore love delights to dwell,
In humber rhyme"
The wild roso blushed a rosler red,
And sweeter balm and bloom were shed
From thorn and tree.
The daisy turned its modest face.
And smiled with such enchanting graco
IL vanquished me.
And ever since that summer day,
Whene'er by fiowery vale l stray,
Or meadow sweet,
The throb OF natures heart hear
And fai echoes soft and clear
Fall at my foot

A Rare Find.

The brick clay deposits of Hahn

DIR. Strohecker to be sngularly rich in
several metals hitherto very scarce,
particularly cerium, glucinum, lantha-
mum, didymium, and yttrium. Tho
first two Of these metals seem to be in
sufficient abundance to materially in
crease the worlds supply.

State Crops.


For the July crop report the Secretary of
State has received returns from 780 corres-
pondents, representing 622 townships. Five
hundred and twenty of these returns
are from 379 townships of III, southern
four tiers OF counties. The area of tho
1886 wheat crop, as returned by supervisors
in the southern four tiers of countit q, is
1857 ,578 acres, and in the northern coun-
ties 243, ,206 acres; total of 1000, 7SI acres.
Final corrections and spring wheat fow-
ings, which were not completed at the time
the assessment was taken, will probably
add $4,000 acres, making tho total area OF
the 1886 wheat harvest l ,625, ,784 acres. The
average per acre as estimated by supervisors
is thirteen and sixty eight hundredihs bush
els, indicating probable yield in the State
of 22,2]9, ,6S6 bushels. Wheat has evidently
been very badly injured by the Hessian fly.
The presence of the fly is repor.ed by
ninety corresp pondents in the first, or
south tier of counties; by sixty-Dine cor
respondents in the second tier; forty four
in tie third, and twenty-five in the fourth
tier. The county returns of Supervisors,
partially corrected, show the area of wheat
harvested in 1885 to have been 1,497, ,47O
acres, and the yield 29,927 ,543 bushels.
Final corrections will increase this area bv
ut least $4,000 acres, and yield by 70O.CC0
DuBnelS, making the tOtalS ABOUT l,oJz-4lU
acres, and 0,627, ,543 bushels. The total
number of bushels of wheat reported mar
keted in June is 430,6T6; the number
OF bushels in eleven months, from
August to June, 14,044, ,903, or about
forty-six per cent. of the crop of
1885. The number of bushels re-
ported marketed in the same months of
lSS4-5 was S,46S,5l3, or thiity-three per
cent. of the crop of 1884. For these months
in 1SS4-5, reports we're received from about
thirty seven per cent. and in 1856 from
about forty eight per cent. Of the elevators
and mills in the southern four tiers OF
counties. About 2,732,000 bushels OF the
1885 wheat crop is yet in farmers hands.
The condition of other crops compared
with the vitality and growth of an average
year is for the State as follows: Corn,
ninety-two per cent; oats, eighty five; bar
ley, eighty eight; clover, meadows, and
pastures, seventy -four; clover sowcd this
year, eighty-one per cent. The condition
Of corn compared with July /, 1885, is one
hundred and thirteen. Seven per cent. of
corn planted failed 10 grow. Apples in the
southern four tiers of counties promises
ninetY-four per cent and in the northern
counties eighty-stx per cent. OF an average
crop.

"DO Cheap Admissions Pay ?''

Asked BAzoo reporter of VIM. Pottle,
manager for the Eunice Goodrich company.
Certainly; have been in the show bust
mes all my life, and have never seen as
STEADY and profitable business done as /
have peiienced the past three seasons
will admit that have seen more money
taken in by high priced shows, but they all
have their bad business, and with
their constant travelling and extra expense
of one-night stand company, nine out Of
ten come out at the small end of the horn
at the end II the season.
My company was organized a little over
three years ago, and is the first show charg-
ing a cheap admission that was ever
put on the road"
The shrewi manager argued that il
would be bettei to have ten persons come
to is show and pay 81 than it would be
to have one person come and make him
pay 81. In other words, he contended
that it was Just as easy for his performers
to give an exhibition 20 1000 people fer
500 as it would be to sho = to an audience
consisting of 100 persons who had paid 81
apiece. He started out with the intention
OF giving performance worth 81, but has
been charging only 10, 20 and 80 cents for
il. He wanted the crowds and he has been
getting them. There are more people Who
have dimes than there are who have dol
lars, and il is dollars to dimes that Mr..
Pottle has struck the keynote to the future
succ s. of the show business.

When Roll u. Squire was de.

of Public works he accepted his dad

Squire is poor and forsaken by-all
of his old wealthy and inhuen-
tial friends, and he works diligently
on his farm for Il living. His farm
to consists of seventy-acre place ON

bought this place and started a milk
farm. He keeps forty or fifty cows
and large number of goats, which
yield him daily great supply of pure
mllk, which he ships directly to he
city. If not honest in his dealings
with the city when commissioner he is
at least honest in his work now, for
the milk shipped from his farm is
counted pure and unadulterated. He

the milking of the cows, sees that the

his old friends and worry them with

The sickening horror of the train
wrecking and cremation in Wisconsin
carries with it a lesson which cries
aloud for immediate practical enforce
ment. In Missouri there is a law
that requires every passenger train to
carry certain quantity of axes and
other wrecking tools. That law,
however, is in a great measure uphap-
ply disregarded of late, but i. should
be strictly enforced and every state in
the Union should pass a law compell-
ing the carrying of at least two axes
on every engine and one at each end
of each and every coach of every de-
sription u: ed in the make up of the
trains. With such supply of axes
some would be left accessible in almost
any wreck and with such weapons
many a life could be. saved by cutting
a way of egress for imprisoned passen.
gers and fires could often be controlled
by cutting to them way to extin-
guish them.

The Usage street dynamite organ
wants to know if Col. Frey will be at
the election Tuesday 1t does know
and chuckles over the fact that the
indicted dynamiters and train wreck
ers have all come in to work for
Heard. And the BAzoo knows that
they propose to try every means, foul
or fair, to elect him. A well known
conductor stated yesterday: cat the
last election John T. Heard came to
me and handed me SO to use in his
behalf, but he gave to others S25 and
$50 each. When he handed me The
money he said, when this is gone let
me know and / will give you more.
/ spent it, every cent, for whisky for
the bows. But he must have been
mighty foolish to think would come
to him for more" That conductor
is a democrat, but says he will never
support Heard again. When Heard
and his henchmen use such means to
secure his election, what right have
they to object to honest, law abiding,
bona fide citizens coming home to
vote? None, except that they know
