AN ECHO FROM THE WEST.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
You may be somewhat surprised, and

road five days, being delayed on account
Of some wrecks and bridges burned out,
for this is dry country; not enough

and the Rockies YOUR readers are well
acquainted with: also Salt Lake City and
Utah. After leaving Utah and getting
into Idaho YOU come into one of the
most barren counties l ever saw-a
magnificent country for a poor
quality of stone. No Kansas man would
ever stop there. We followed up the
Snake River valley and crossed 1t several
times; it consists of a beautiful stream
of clear blue water, with plenty of rocks
and mountains on each side, with once
in while from one 10 twenty acres of
land 10 farm at a place and family or

The river and harbor bill as agreed
upon by the conference committee, APP
propriates little less than $25, 900, 900, a
scaling down of about million from
the senate bill, but about four millions
more than the house bill. The bill as
agreed to carries the largest appropria-
ton ever made for that purpose. 1t is
safe to say that fully half the amount
named is there to aid congressman to get
back to their seats rather than give the
public any practical benefits. As a log
rolling scheme the river and harbor bill
beats 'em all.

The facts enveloping the explosion in
the Savannah boarding house, which oc-
cupied so much attention some time
back and was such mysterious affair,
have at last become little clearer. A
man by the name of Robbins, one of the
boarders, has been arrested on suspicion
that he committed the deed by setting
fire to gasoline with which he had sat
urated the floor He denies it, and for
the sake of poor humanity it is to be
hoped he may prove his innocence.

The question of who will receive the
Observation-Disclosures nomination for gov
ernor of South Carolina has been prac-
tically settled. One hundred and sixty
one votes in the convention that meets
next week will be necessary to a choice,
and Tillman. the Alliance favorite. has
already received l64 instructions from
county conventions. The bourbon ele-
ment in the party have made de-
termined fight against Tillman. but he
has beaten them at every point. 1t now
remains 10 be seen whether or not they
will show their faith in the professed
principles of their party and acquiese in
the actions of the majority or continue
their bitter opposition TO the choice of the
majority and fight him in the election.

The postaI clerks are boldinp tbeir

The postal clerks are holding their
sixteenth annual convention at Denver
They not only discuss measures for their
own personal interests, but they have
the public spirit to consider how they can
be of more service to the people in hand
ling the mails. The Kansas City Star
is of the opinion that they would take a
more lively interest in postal affairs if
they knew that they were not at the
mercy of politics. IF the civil service
rules were strictly adhered to in the pos
tai department" says the Star, Its eff
ficiency would be increased because the
clerks would perfect themselves in the.
business which they would regard as
their life work. That is quite likely;
but if the enforcement were made and
actually enforced, what would become
of the politicians, who depend upon the
patronage to be dispensed to keep them
selves in official positions.

While the Wisconsin Democracy
cheers the mention of Cleveland's name
Murat Halstead is attempting to show
that Cleveland ought not 10 be nomina-
ted because he might eventually obtain
a third term. But no official can obtain
a third term until he has had a second
term, and if nominee can not possibly
obtain a second term, where is there any
danger of securing a third term? The
fear Of distant third term must be ex-
cited then by apprehensions of the very
liveliest sort with regard to the second
which Halstead fears the people may
give Cleveland in 1892.

The Berlin socialists have had row
among themselves. and the differences
between the socialists which have devel-
oped since the inception of the young
emperor's policy of greater freedom to
the socialists. indicate the wisdom of his
action. Freed from the restraints which
bound them together in one common
union, their differing views now clash,
and friction between them has ensued.

SHORT GRAIN CROPS.

This has been a bad yeRr for crops in
these United States. The wheat crop
has fallen off 10000, 900 bushels, loss
of nearly 90 per cent. The corn crop
513, 100000 bushels, loss of fully %
per cent. The oat crop 5000, 900 bush
els, loss of 10 per cent. The rye crop
100000 bushels, or a loss of 3 per cent.
The barley 5000, 900 bushels, or loss of
6 per cent, and potatoes $4,000, 900 bush
els. or a loss of % per cent.
This is a difference of 732, 000, 900 bush
els of food products, as compared with
the amount raised last year, and such a
difference must, unquestionably, make
itself felt III the price of grain for the
next year. The amount of wheat and
corn for export will be, therefore, con-
siderably less, and in consequence the
prices must go up.
This shortage in grain crop cannot fail
to have the effect to advance the prices
of live stock although there will be plenty
provender saved to carry all the stock,
that is desired TO be carried over, through
the winter The indications are that the
years operations. as To agricultural
products, will bring as large cash returns
as a full crop would. But while this is
encouraging in a general way, and graft
flying to those who are fortunate enough
to have a surplus to sell it will still work
hardship on many, especially on those
who will have to depend upon the mar
ket for their supplies, yet have nothing
to sell with which to raise money.
Higher prices are often a godsend to the
seller, but they are always in the nature
of a calamity to the buyer.

In his nearly eighteen months in Office
Mr.. Clarkson has appointed 26.675 fourth

All the appointments of the pOstofiice de

appointments have been made during Mr..
Clarkson' official time, leaving only 400 of
this class of offices unchanged. This Is the
largest record in changes and in establish
ment of postotlices every made in the same
length of time.

announcement that the great "decapita-
