Crops in General.
VERBECK. .

VERBECK, AUG. 10, 1889.
Editor DEMocRAT.
The last report of the agricultural
department places wheat in Australia
two fifths of average crop; linda about
the same; Russia about ! crop; Ger
many good crop; Austro-Hungary !
of crop; Turkey, Italy, France, Spain
and England a little below an average.
United States-Ohio, 81: Ind, "a;
Mich, 80; Ills, SO; Mo-, 90; Kans., SO;
Dakota, 80; Min, So. A drouth extends
over Oregon, Washington, Montana,
Idaho, Utah, Dakota and part of
Minnesota, and very wet in all the
wheat states east of the Mississippi
river, with great floods in the east.
Freight rates are 6 cents per bushel
on wheat from New York to Liverpool;
Chicago to New York, 81 cents, by lake
or canal. Railroad rates are not given,
only from few hoop-pole stations in
the south to st. Louis, and like places
in Michigan to Chicago. I suppose the
Interstate com. are in the shade in
those places.
On Sept. LIST the books sent to
threshers over this county will be
returned. They give acres threshed
and amount of bushels, from the first
job to Sept. LIST. The department
assumes that the wheat threshed is an
average of the crop. This furnishes
the average per acre; multiply that by
the IS thousand acres this county had
in wheat and it gives the crop of the
county. About Sept. 10th will send
you this report, and as it fixes the
standing of Barton county as wheat
county for 1889, ask all other counties
setting up for first place to come down
to the same cold facts. Individual
estimates are useless and is time
wasted. Yours,

A HARD OLD PARTY.

A Look by COntraries at the Thirty
Years Republican Record.
Tough old party. isn't it? just look
at its history.
Born over thirty years ago. in two
or three different places.
Was in favor of the extension of
slavery, which National evil the Demo
Gratis abolished in 1868.
Was in favor of States rights as
taught by that staunch old Abolition
ist, John c. Calhoun, of South Caro-
lima.
Advocated secession as a constitu-
tional right and slavery as divine
institution.
Fired on Fort Sumter in April, 1861.
and kept at it until the rebel Demo-
Gratis in command surrendered.
Look at the vast armies of Repub-
licans that fought for the establish
ment of Southern Confederacy, the
perpetuity of human slavery, the
supremacy of the State and free
trade.
Count the thousands of Republicans
who surrendered to General Lee at
Appomattox and were permitted by
the JEFF Davis Unionists to retain
their side-arms and ride their mules to
their loved ones at home.
Go through the reconstruction peri
cd and see how the Republicans re-
sisted every attempt to restore the
Union, to amend the constitution and
to ameliorate the condition of the
slaves freed by the Democrats.
We have omitted to speak of the
resolution adopted by the Republican
National convention in 1864 declar-
ing the war failure and demanding
the cessation of hostilities, but you all
remember that
You remember. too, how the Repub-
icans opposed the resumption of specie
payments and how bitterly they
fought all propositions looking to the
restoration of the Nations credit
How they inaugurated the Ku-Klux-
Khan and spread terror all over the
country by their deeds of violence.
How ugly they felt when the Ma
tons credit was restored by the Dem
ocrats and our Government bonds were
in demand at big premium.
How the Republicans opposed the
Homestead law, and the granting of
pensions to disabled Union soldiers.
How they tried to abolish protection
and adopt a section of the Constitution
of the Confederate States of America
as to the fixed policy of the country.
Tough old record, isn't it?-Detroit

Officers in the Civil War.

The surprising part of our civil war
perhaps the most surprising feature
in that marvellous contest-was that
from the beginning to the end there is
no case in which an officer of any grade
is known to have gone over to the enc
my. Desertions of private soldiers
from one side to the other were rela-
lively rare. There were occasional
cases in which men forced into the
army on either side took the first
chance which offered to range them
selves in the army to which their prin-
ciples attracted them. have been I'M
able to find a case in which such action
was ever taken by any military unit
a company. regiment, or larger corps.
Although, under the sting of defeat, a
number of our officers of the Federal
army were accused of half-heartedness
or treachery, the sober verdict of his
tory has always been in their favor. 1t
was the most satisfactory feature of our
civil war that in the worst mischances
of lost battles and unsuccessfuloc cam
paigns the men never lost their conf
dence in the moral integrity of their
chiefs. Although in the curious free
dom of speech which characterized our
armies, the men frequently condemned
their leaders as fools. they never SEEM
ed to question the trustworthiness of
their motives. North American Re-

Strength of the Grand Army.

There are indications that the Grand
Army of the Republic has reached its
zenith in point of numbers. An idea
of the growth of the order may be
gained from the table of membership
from 1871 to 1888. In 1871 the number
was 3O.124; in 1872. %, 693; 1873, 49,

A BRAVE CONFEDERATE.
How He Kept His Word at the Risk of His
Life.

Life.
Lieutenant C. A. Coryell, formerly of
the One Hundred and Forty-frst New
York Volunteers, Twentieth Army
Corps. was with Sherman on the IA
nous march to the sea- One bright
Sunday in December, 1864, the Lieu
tenant was detailed to take charge of
the picket line in front of Savannah,
on the edge of a rice swamp. There
was truce between the pickets and
every thing wore a Sabbath-like still
ness
Coryell had nothing to do and was
out of tobacco. How to get a chew
was the question. Finally a handsome
young officer from the Confederate side
strolled out between the lines. Coryell
hailed him at once:
al say. Johnny, if 1 come over to you
can get tobacco and return safely to
my lines?"
Come along. I'll treat you right
How do l know that TIL not be taken
prisoner"
You have the word of gentleman
and Confederate officer"
Coryell thought a moment and then
decided to make the venture. He laid
aside his sword and belt and started
across the high and narrow dixie lead
ing to the Confederate line. On either
side of the dixie the water in the rice
fields was five fee. deep.
The Lieutenant reached the opposite
shore without any misgivings- The
Confederate produced some tobacco,
and trade was made in no time. Then
the two fell into a pleasant converse
ton.
Suddenly Coryell saw a signal fiutter
from a house some distance in the rear
of the Confederate line
What does that mean?" he asked
sharply.
Il don't know" replied the Confed-
crate.
