the weather conditions of the past week
have been unfavorable TO corn and potatoes
and it has been too dry. Harvesting has
progressed rapidly and a majority of the
oats are cut, and some thrashing has been
done. The yield is good. The effect OF
the continued light rainfall is beginning Ia
seriously affect corn and potatoes, and
unless a good rainfall occurs soon the
yield will begin to materially shorten.
There was little or no rainfall in any sec,
ton Of the state except in Manistee and
Oceana counties, where local showers
occurred. With good rains the coming
week the yield OF corn and potatoes will
be considerably increased.

THE PRINCE" AGAIN,

Mr.. RUSSELL B. HARRISON, the Presi-
dents son, is cutting big swath with a
little sickle. THE HERALD's readers have
besn told of his demands on the collector
of the port of New York for a revenue
cutter to steam down the bay. A new
story of his bulldoziug propensities is just
out, though it dates back few months.
at that time the prince wished to raise
some money and went to the Mercantile
Trust company with;a lot of railroad securi-.
ties which he wanted TO hypothecate for a
loan. The president, Mr.. FITZGERALD,
looked them over and declined. A day or
two later young Mr.. HARRISON returned.
1t appears FITzERALD is director in the
Western National bank Of the same city
and this concern was charged with Illegally
issuing silver certificates against bullion
to guarantee the transactions of an outside
corporation. The fact seems to be
that tbs bullion was put in a safe
deposit company's vaults, which hal
been leased oy the bank and was in charge
of the banks employees. The bank people
knew OF "RUssn HARRIsoN's visit to FITz-
GERALD, but they weren't scared about it,
and the prince did not get any money from
them or Mr.. f. The ''prince" had obtained
his information from the comptroller's
Office in Washington.

STEPHEN BoGARDUs ELKINs.

1t is curious commentary upon the pop
ular estimate of the way in which Presi-
dent HARRISON makes his appointments
that any credence at all is given to the
statement that he is likely to appoint
STEPHEN BoGARDUs ELKINs to the place In
the cabinet to be vacated by Secretary
PROCTOR. And yet the statement is made,
and thousands will believe it. With the
exception of BLAINE the cabinet is made up
of nobodies FOSTER, who is known at
home in OHIO as Calico CHARLEY" is a
mere mouthpiece Of SHERMAN and repre-
sentative OF Wall street TRACY and Proc
TOR were hardly known outside of New
York and Vermont when they were ap-
pointed. NOBLE got his place by having
been the Presidents schoolmate, and
MILLER by having been his law part
per WANAMAKER was the creature of
QUAY, running a Philadelphia mercantile
bazaar. RUsK is Wisconsin yahoo. None
of these people, except BLAINE, ever did
so much for HARRISON as ELKINs. He was
BLAINE's right bower, and in almost hourly
telegraphic correspondence with him.
HARRIsoNs star in the Chicago convention
had risen and waned, as had the stars of
GRESHAM, ALLISON, ALGER and DEPEw,
but it was in the power of BLAINE and Ell
KINs to replace it in Its orbit and put it at
its perihelion. This was done, and General
HARRISON passed into possession of his new
owners.
But "SrEvE" ELKINs will not accept a
place in the Presidents cabinet, mush less
ask for it. That sort Of thing runs not par
allel with his ambition. There has to be
money in anything that ELKINs handles,
and he would not chain himself to depart
ment duties. He is very well satisfied
with his present political position. He is
'the power behind the throne"

WHO BROKE DOW THE BARS?

The German embarg ION Uncle SANS
hogs having been raised, there is liable to
be teapot tempest over the question who
raised it, Minister PHELPS, or WILLY
WALLY PHELPS, as he is called by those
who know him by his bangs only, has been
dancing around the sources of power at
Pottsdam and Berlin ever since his incum-
bency began. and the other day he sent
duplicate telegram to Washington and Bar
Harbor announcing the foregoing event in
q tone of remark intimating that he waa
not altogether uninfiuential in bringing it
about. This item of news was quickly
followed by the declaration made by Mr..
HALFoRD, the Presidents secretary, 10
lhe effect that the negotiations had
Deen conducted at Saratoga be-
tween Mr.. HARRISON, assisted by
General FOSTER and the German
minister to the United States. FOSTER is
an Indiana man, a professional diplomat,
and is a sort of factotum at the state de-
partment in the absence of Secretary
BLAINE. HALFoRD'g idea is to get credit
for HARRISON in the German dicker, just
rs he attempted to get credit for his prin-
cipal in regard to the reciprocity idea.
Right on the heels of PHELPS and HAIR
RIsoN's pretensions comes another claim
ant in the person of Secretary RUsK, of the
agricultural department. To let him tell 1t
ii was he who persuaded congress to pass
the inspection law, without which the en-
barge would not have been removed, and
who, last March, put into force a system
of examination which has proved satisfsc-
tory to the German authorities. Aud in
point of fact the Hon. JEREMIAH is taking a
great deal of burden off the state depart
ment generally. We learn he has instructed
his agent, Colonel MURPHY, now in
England, to have a little chat with Kaiser
WILHELM, and get him to admit Ame rican
corn to take the place of rye.
Thus we can see how Germany is being
circumvallated by the towering diplomatic
minds of the United States. To be sure,
there are short crops in Prussia and Aus
tria, which naturally turn attention to the
food production Of other countries; but the
desire Of the Emperor TO boom the admin
istration of President HARRISON and exali
the reputation Of Secretary RUsK, overtop
any other consideration in the premises
For such a result little voluntary humili-
alton cannot be thought to be improper.

FLED FROM a FORTUNE.

LAURA E, FULTON, of Atchison, Kas., has
sued JOHN G. FULTON for divorce, he hav-
ing deserted her. The case presents some
points that will interest THE HERALD's
readers. Mrs. FULToN's uncle, when he
died in London, left his niece fortune of
$4,000, with a proviso. Proyisos are gen
orally awkward things. One always starts
when, reading along in testamentary doc
ument, he stumbles on the word Provided,
with its big 2 and its slanting letters, for
there is sure to follow some disagrees BILE
condition. The proviso in Mrs. FULToN's
uncle's will, however, does not at first
glance appear so very onerous. 1t related
to marriage, that state for which most
single ladies yearn, and some Of whom
mourn because they find it not. To come
at once to the point, the legatee was not to
have the money until she had lived in
wedlock for the term of one calendar
year. MIR. FULTON thought he would try.
He courted, was accepted, was married
but, alas they lived together only three
months, when FULTON incoD tinently fed
and went to Denver Whatever may have
been said of his motives when he assumed
the matrimonial yoke, the forfeiture of his
chance to be the husband of q woman with
SOS, 900 within nine months shows he mar
ried for love, or else got such dose of the
connubial state that money was no object.
Worse than being driven to drink, he was
driven to Denver.
But let US not be uncharitable. Perhaps
1t was not the woman, nor the fortune, that
he left. Possibly it was only Atchison.
Possibly only the proximity Of the Mis-
souri, river, which ex- Senator INGALLS,
| says Is not thick enough for building ma
terial and not thin enough for a beverage
Possibly it was the proximity Of the
bearded PETER or the sockless SIMPSON.
Mill another thought. There must have
been some reason in the mind OF Mrs. Full.
TONS relative for the clause in the will
Did he put it there to cure a bad temper
an inclination to scratch? Did she have
cold feet, or was she averse to mendine
and to sewing buttons on. What was i
that made him think it doubtful a MAI

CHICAGO coRMoRANTS

Chicago is getting ready to make raid
on congress for another appropriation for
the Columbian Fair. She will demand
s, GOO, 900 more, and her newspapers and
takers declare she must and Will have it.
This may be all right, but it strikes the
average American citizen as though the
way Chicago acts now is slightly in con-
trast with the way in which she acted
when she was seeking the privilege of hold
ing the exposition, and outbidding New
York and ST. Louis. We were told that
men, women and children of every condi-
ton in life had subscribed or would sub
scribe, that an enormous fund would be
raised, and that the government would be
asked only for contribution sufficient to
identify it with the enterprise, and to de-
fray the expenses of its own exhibit.
The people would look upon new ap-
preparation of S5,000,00O with more len
iency if there had not gone abroad through
out the land the idea that the managers
the exposition, have peen squandering
their money in the most proh;gate manner
Up to July there had already been ex-
pended sum in excess of the funds ap-
propriated. More than $4,000 had gone
for salaries and contingent expenses; $50,
600 for transportation; for subsistence, u
whatever that means, s43, 335; expenses of
board of lady managers, s25, 372, etc. In
deed, there seems to have been a regular
picnic of cormorants under the supposition
that Uncle SAM and his progeny of states
were rich enough to afford it.

enough Of this staple in the country
to sweeten single cup of coffee all round,
but what there is comes mostly from the
Green Mountain state, and it is settled
policy up there to compel people of other
sections to pay a price and half or two
prices for everything made or put up in New
England, whether it be a box of Goldfish, q
spool of thread or block of granite. This
maple sugar bounty was SO childish and
absurd thing to put into an act of con-
gross that other advocates of the bill
wanted to leave It ont, but EDMUNDs told
them in his imperious way that if they
omitted maple sugar the tariff goose was
cooked, so far as his vote was involved,
and they let it go. 1t was pitiful matter,
yet big enough to show tho measure of
New England Republican craftsmanship,
and we doubt if Mr.. EDMUNDs' successor
will rise to any higher plane

LITTLE STATE LITTLE MEASURES.

There is nothing that Vermont produces
that hasn't some claim on the general gov

MARK THE declining in the clearing house
returns every week, since Liberals carried
Salt Lake City. From an increase of 81
per cent over the corresponding week last
year, but before the election, the clearings
have steadily, persistently dwindled down
until now we have an absolute decrease of
1858 per cent. compared with the same
week last year. This decrease is still more
significant in view of the remarkable i'm
provements east. Thus, (for instance), in
New York the increase last week was 1916
per cent, in Chicago 20.3. in Boston 15.4.
In fact the decline in Salt Lake is the
greatest in the United States, with the
solesexception CT Tacoma, and there it is
but fraction of per cent. greater. Nay
not so; for we have added four banks to
our clearing houses, which makes the dis
crepency still more fragrant; but even with
the aid of these we are in the rear of the
procession. If the Democrats had carried
Salt Lake, what lurid morel the Liberal
organ would adduce from the fact. "Why.
we told you sou would be the stereotype
cry raised in all possible societies. But
then the clearing returns would not have
dropped by million If the Democrats had
carried the day, for that would have pre-
dicted the end of CLUTIsM, and our citizens
would have taken fresh hope and courage.
