Short Crops In Europe.

A dispatch from London to the New
York Times says the crops this year in
Europe are conceded to be short. Russian
official reports cay the wheat crop is the
worst In many years, and storms have
done. great damage in Hungary and
Northern Roumania, not only destroying
grain still standing, but swee ping awaJ
so mary granaries that the bulk of the
harvested grain was also lost In Galicia
and silesia the grain crops havo been Off
cially declared to be total failure. and
those OF Bohemia and Moravia very bad.
In India the shortage Is said TO be very
great, and In England and France the
prospect for flne crops has been great,
impaired by wet, cold weather. Pricei
have advanced on the basis OF these re.
ports, but whether thfre will be q general
and material rise remains to be seen
Unfortunately, even If there should be d
heavy Increase In prices. farmers in thi.
section will fail to receive the full bench
OF 1t, owing to the fact that protractsd
bad weather has not only caused q short
age In the Maryland crop, but has in.
lured much OF the wheat that has beer
harvested.

The Every Evening attacked Mr..
Thomas W. savilfe, deputy collector of
internal revenue for this district, and
most scandalously aud without a grain
OF evidence Charged him with incapscity,
basing the charge with a true coward's
instinct upon the alleged say-so of some
Other coward or backbiter, that Mr..
Saville was totally unfit" to perform
the duties OF his Office because OF "his
lack of education"
We do not know how much education
Mr.. Sayiile has or what opportunities he
enjoyed In his youth for obtaining an
education. We do know, however, that
he proved himself capable, in a business
sense, lcng before he received this CD.
pointment We know that his warmest
supporters for his present position were
Lis former employers, among them being
well-knowD Democratic leader of this
city. We know further trat willie his
appointment dates back barely 1--we week
lie has been att, ndiDg to the duties OF the
once by himself and without any aid or
direction the past two weeks.
We know, above all, that no man has
filed that Office within the history Of the
revenue system who "took hold" of the
duties ther,o more readily and more
sEillIully than has Mr.. Savile. Lemo-
cratic Journals may invent faisetood and
libel aud Mugwump journals may coun-
teuance the inventions by their silence,
but the people who a:e doing business
with the new officials know tho truth
after all. Mr.. Sayille Is capable, cner-
getic and thoroughly conscientious In his
WORK. he Goes his duty AID completes
his work VIII rever he lie placed. should
he BIO deposed bext month or Dext year
Or during the next administration, he
VIII be abe TO leave clean table for his
successor.
B The work Of the Office will not be one
montq behind, as it was recently when
vacated bya Gray Democrat He will
colect the taxes, too. A competent au-
thority assured US the otheE day that
there was enough oi uucolltc cited revenue
IN this city for the year 1893 to y
ftst-clsss clerk IN the revenue office.
Moreover, he will keep his office for the
duties Of the othce alone. He Will not
make 1t the resort Tor political wire pull
ere, for whiskey drinkers and for even
worse characters. The office will lose all
its distinctive Democratic characteristics,
and will be made a clean, decent and
business-ike place. Mir. Savlle is a.
tending to his business, and his classifying
critics can do 10 bes,er than follow his
example
