Z The greatest question which seems to be
agitating the New York mind at the present
time is the condition Of Richard Croker. Gro
ker is the head Tammany boss; and is at
Wiesbaden for his health. One report rep
resents him on the verge of the grave, while
another describes him as walking out and
on the high road to recovery. 1t is insinu-
ated by the supporters of the rival stories
that each is cooked up for political purposes
the near his end story being the work Of
the men who want to see him deposed from
his bosship. while the rapidly recovering
tale is attributed to those who want him to
continue In his bosship. The respective
friends Of the two tales are getting very red
in the face over the dispute, and it may be
necessary to call out the troops unless Gro
ker dies very soon or presents himself in the
flesh In New York CITY.

It's quite evident that the relations be-
tween Emin Pasha and Stanley are very
much strained. Stanley has several times
alluded to Emin in sighting phrase, and
now Emin insinuates that if he should tell
all he knows about Stanley it would create a
sensation. But as Emin has started back
into the interior of Africa we shall probably
not get the sensation.

Our Democratic friends. who while ago
were alleging that the Republican tariff bill
was nothing but piece of buncombe and
was not intended to become law, must feel
like revising their predictions. 1t is gener-
ally admitted now that the bill will pass the
House in substantially the same form as it
came from the committee, and there Is little
doubt that it will go Though the Senate and
become law before Congress adiourns.
The plan by which Mr. Mills and his free
trade followers expected to defeat the tariff
bill and all other legislation not to their lik-
ing was rendered abortive by the House
rules inspired by Speaker Reed. Had it not
been for them doubtless Mr.. Mills's boast
that the minority would control legislation
as effectually as If they were the majority,
would not have been an empty one

The bill reported from the judiciary COM
mittee of the Senate yesterday to give to the
states full power to control the traffic
In liquors whether imported or not
Will, If passed, furnish an adequate
remedy for the recent decision Of
the Supreme Court. 1t is in line
with the suggestion made by the court in its
opinion. that Congress could easily enable
the states to fully control the traffic in intox-
icating liquors within their own borders A
report in opposition was made by the minor
ity of the committee. all of them Democrats,
but what they base their opposition upon
does not appear. Such measure as the
majority suggest is clearly in line with the
doctrine Of states rights which the Demo-
Gratis profess to revere, and therefore their
opposition seems inexplicable, except upon
the theory that whiskey is dearer to them
than the rights of the state.

The chances Of the election of the Hon.
Richard Vaux to the seat recently occupied
by MIR. Randall are rather small, if, as is re-
ported. he has been nominated on ''reve-
nue. reform" platform. The great mass of
Mr.. Randalls constituents were protection
lists. and it is not at all likely that they have
changed their views with his death. Should
Mr.. Vaux be elected he would lend good
deal of picturesqueness to the Upper House
OF Congress. He sports rufled shirt front,
an immaculate broadeloth suit, low patent
leather shoes. tied with broad black silk
ribbon. and wealth of half-brown, half
silver hair flows upon his shoulders from
beneath high silk hat. He never wears an
oyercoat. and his trousers never bag at the
knee, for he never wears them for longer
period than two weeks.

General Sir Frederick Middleton, comman-
der Of the Canadian militia, seems to have no
friends in his present extremity and indeed
he could hardly expect much sympathy. His
offense was particularly indefeusible from
his position as military commander. When
civil officer wrongfully converts private
property to his own uses he is generally
brought up with round turn in the civil
courts and compelled by the injured party to
disgorge. A military commander in time Of
war or public danger, however, is practically
monarch of all he surveys, and under the
plea OF public necessity can do almost any
thing. Sir Frederick may have had the
right to coniscate the Brenmer furs but they
should have been forfeit to the State" The
General took advantage of his high position
and yielded to the temptation to doodle" as
many another official has. His disgrace ap.
pears to be deserved. The only mistake the
Canadian government makes in the case is
In permitting him to resign his office, instead
OF cashiering him.

There is some complaint that the tariff
bill was held back so long, and that it is
proposed now to close the debate compare
lively in hurry. But this is business. Val
liable time was taken to make up the details
of the bill, but there would be no sense in
giving time for all the members to work eff
their old tariff speeches and jam them into
the Record. Mr.. Cleveland's picnic letters
might be printed in supplement to crafty
the Democrats, but they do not approa h
business. They contain phrases, not propo-
sitions and their publication would please
him and harm no one

TEXAS CROPS AND WEATHER.

The heavy rains near Willis last week
did considerable damage by beating out
the open cotton.
The crops of Hartley county are re-
ported TO lie in excellent condition. A
great deal of wheat is being sown.
In Collin county cotton is turning out
much better than was believed awhile
back. About half the cotton has been
picked. II the frost does not come in
month, the yie.d will be very large.
Caldwell county farmers are about
done gathering their crops, which have
turned out TO be very short. Cotton will
average 8 bale to every four acres, and
corn about twenty bushels to the acre.
Blanco county has had good rains,
which have put the range in excellent
than was expected.
The pecan crop in Clay county is said
to be immense this season, and thousands
OF bushels will be shipped from that part
of the STATE.
The report comes from Grimes county
that both cotton and cane are superb.
The cotton near Victoria is increasing
rapidly under the favorable weather.
The Sunset Signal says: Our cotton
yard continues TO be crowded with the
aeecy staple and still it comes, and what
was long supposed 10 be short crop has +,
through the influence of favorable
weather, been steadily developing into
something over an average crop. Last
year was good average crop, but this
is now proving better in quality and
larger in quantity than the previous
season.
The farmers of Clay county are happy
over the prospects for another fine crop
the coming season.
Cotton crops in the vicinity Of Nevada,
| says the Farnersville Times, will show u

! been marketed.
TERRELL, Oct. 20.-The rain COM
menced again about 8 p. m. to-day
