Jail Delivery.

SPRINGFIELD. Mo, May "A nam
moth Jail delivery was effected here this
morning by which eight prisoners gained
their freedom. For several weeks pris-
oners conhRed in the county Jail have
been mrking successive attempts to es-
cape, but a special guard in each instance
thwarted their plan. Recently the court
decided to dispense with special guard
because Of the extra expense. The deliv-
crJ this morning is the result. The jail
is a very inferior building in which TO
contne desperate men. The coll in which
oil were confined was Of solid iron built
on the cage plan. The prisoners sawed
through the floor and tnnnclled through
the dirt and stones twenty feet to the
outer wall; reaching this they tore il
away sufficiently to squeeze through and
escaped. The sheriff and posse are pur-
suing, but thus far with no success.

HOUSE,.

WARRINGTON, April 30.--The house went
into committee OF the whole on the tariff bill
and was addressed by Mr. Grosvenor, Of Ohio.
II was strange, Mr.. Grosvenor said, that
the Democratic party, led by that amateur
statesman, the president OF the United States,
suddenly had become the champion OF the
internal revenue system. For twenty years
the gentlemen representing the southern
ststes had not only denounced the general
system of internal revenue, but had opposes
all efforts Of the government to enforce the
law, and had SO thoroughly educated the peo-
pie OF the south into the belief that the system
was tyrsnnous that they had builded up a
great sentiment In the south that to defeat,
violate and destroy that system by fraud, vio-
lence, bloOdshcd and murder wae but the AS
sertion Of a God given right OF rebellion
against the tyrranrous enactment OF a tyran
nous government. Now the democratic party,
directed by the message Of the president, or
daincd that tho most sacred monument OF
taxation In this country was now and must
he in the future, the internal revenue sys-
tem. Discussing briefly the speech of the
gentleman from Minnesota (Nclsony pc said
that when the gentleman undertook to put
the republicans who favored the repeal OF
the internal revenue law into the category OF
being In favor Of free whisky and free tobacco,
ne made q great mistake. The proposition
TO repeal the tax on whisky was make to re-
NIT the power Of taxation to the states and
10 permit the states to take the place Of the
general government.
Regarding the tariff, be said the mission OF
statesmen WAS 10 see that the laboriBg men
of this country should have a great deal
higher wages than the laboriug men Of other
countries, The prosperity Of the country had
met with no check until the Morrison bill
menaced the industry OF the United States.
The disaster which was threatened by the
Morrison bill would be Q%uadrupled by the
passage OF the Mills bill. Re looked for the
restoration OF the Republican party to power
tho party which hal laid the deep and
strong foundation upon which the great tariff
structure had been built, the party which Mad
grown wiser by the assaults made upon the
system by its enemies-and 1t would then be
able to rebnrnish and robeSutify the maghid-
cent structure which was today the pride and
glory Of the American citizen.

Why Andrew Johnson Declined Wine

why Andrew Johnson DeCilneu Wine'
When Johnson was Governor of
Tennessee he had occasion to go to
indianapolis, and was the guest while
there of the person referred to at his
private residence, and naturally the
latter was anxious the entertainment
should be rs elaborate and complete
as possible, in honor of his distin-
guished visitor. In counselling with
his wife regarding the dinner party
they were to give, he insisted that
the table be literally supplied with
wine, as Gov. Johnson was undoubt-
edly accustomed to drinking it, and
besides it was quite the proper thing
to do on such an occasion. The hos
tess, who had strong temperance
views, was decidedly opposed to the
use of liquor and demonstrated with
her husband over the proposed inno-
walton. He insisted on it, however,
and finally she gave reluctant con-
sent. Mr.. Johnson came and so did
the dinner hour. When the wine
was served he, much to the surprise
of the host, turned down his glass,
saying quite decidedly, 81 never
drink wine" There was glow of
triumph and vindication in the eyes
Of the hostess as she looked at her
crestfallen husband, and he was so
perplexed that he could scarcely pro-
coed with the dinner. In the eve
ming he accompanied Mr.. johnson to
the depot to see him off, and while
they were walking about awaiting
the train Johnson said: II refused
wine at your dinner to-day because
don't like the stuff 1t is too thin;
but where can we 90 and get a drink
of good old whiskey? z" A neighbor-
ing saloon was selected, and Johnson
poured out glassful Of whisdey and
tossed it off without a wink. The
gentleman who had entertained him
could hardly get home quick enough
to tell his wife how their "total alb
stainer' had made record in down
town groggery.

CROP REPORTa
Summary OF the Farmers Revioe of tho
Condition of CrOps,

Summary OF the FarmerS Revi0R of tho
Condition of Crops.
CHICAGO, Oct 15.-The following arop
summary will appear in this weeks adi-
ton of the Farmers ReUieao: "The shorte
age ~ the wheat crop of 1888 is due not
only to decreased acreage, buf also to
damage from various causes-in Ohio
from winter killing and rust; in
Indiana from winter Killing, chinch
bugs and, lightly, from rust; in
Illinois, principally from winter killing,
frost and chinch bugs, though some coun-
ties report loss from drought and rust; in
Iowa from chinch bugs, two counties re-
porting total loss from this cause also
considerable damage from rust; in Michi-
gan a considerable portion winter killed,
but notwithstanding this the crop will be
about equal to that % last year; the
Wisconsin crop suffered considerably from
chinch bugs and some from rust and hot
weather; in Missouri chinch bugs and wet
weather at the time and after harvesting
caused considerable loss; in Minnesota
the chief loss was from chinch
bugs, two counties reporting total
loss, and in some counties the
injury was caused by hot winds in July.
In Dakota the greatest loss was caused by
hot winds, although early frost cut off a
portion of the crop. In Kansas little dam
age was sustained from any cause and the
crop is therefore very much larger than
that of last year. Nebraska, Kentucky
and Iowa also show an increase"
