which the British will enjoy every pos
sible commercial advantage, while the
United States and France will be left
out in the cold.
The effect Of shutting out the trade
OF China would be disastrous in the ex-
treme to this country, but it is not easy
to decide upon policy that will pre-
vent such result. From present ap-
pearances England has the inside track.
One thing, however, is plain. Despite
the odds against US, 1t is the duty Of
our government to send a naval force to
China that will be strong enough to az
ford a reasonable degree Of protection
to the persons and property of our citi-
zens, and, IL it comes to the worst, in
flict punishment for the Outrages of
which they are the victims, II no salts
faction can be obtained from the Chi
nese government. Treaty or no treaty,
we can not afford to allow any country
to wantonly violate the rights of Ameri-
can citizenship.

AMERICAN INTERESTS IN CHINA.

1t is rumored vaguely that the recent
attacks upon French and American
missionaries in China are the fOrerun-
pers Of general uprising. A power
fnl party in opposition to the govern
ment is said TO be organized in every
provlnce, and when the signal is given
the present dynasty will be overthrown.
The New York Herald calls attention
70 the fact that the Chinese insurgents
are not interfering with British sub
iects. When they attack foreigners
they single out Frenchmen and Ameri-
cans. The reason for this is supposed
10 be revenge for the French occupation
OF Touquin and the attitude Of the
United States in regard to Chinese i'm
migration. It is a notable fact that
while French and American war vessels
have been ordered TO Chinese ports 70
protect people Of those nationalities, no
English war vessels have been ordered
there, and the English governments
seems disposed to take no notice Of the
tareateued revolution.
? AL this leads the Herald to surmise
England is knowingly aiding the
llious party, with view to enterii'g
new .veatx with China u9der

TIE UKAsE ABOUT RYE.

The prohibition Of the expectation OF
rye and rye -four is an extreme measure
which indicates the severity OF the Sit
uationsin Russia. The average crop Of
this cereal for the past ten years, in
GLIDING that Of Poland and Finland, has
been about 725,OOO,OOO bushels, of
which 60, 900, 900 bushelShave been ex-
ported to Germany, Belgium and other
countries where rye is largely used.
Reports of the crop this year estimate
the yield at not more than from 25 to 60
per cent. Of the average. according to
locality. Taking the most favorable
estimate, this indicates a failure Of the
crop, which must have deficit Of at
least 200, 600, 900 bushels. That is to
say, Russia has not only no rye to ex-
port, but far too little for the food Of
her own people.
The immediate effect of the ukase
has been to raise the price of rye in
Germany, winch country draws ltS sup
ply to a great extent from Russia, and
its influence will be felt further in a
general increase in the price Of bread
stuffs and a greater demand for wheat.
The prospect is that of distress, eSpec-
tally for Germany, where the govern
ment is yet obstinate in its refusal to
reduce the import duties on grain; while
the London Daily NelCs puts the case
none too strongly when it declares that
''the farmers of America are masters OF
the situation, and it is to be hoped that
they will use their strength mercifully."
If the proposed wheat trust were pos
sible thing, it could not have more
favorable conditions for It's operations.

vERMONT's OENFENNIAL.

This week the State Of Vermont cele-
brates her hundredth anniversary Of
Statehood. The present year is chosen
because its territory and people were
not admitted as State into the Union
until 1871. The month and day are
chosen as the anniversary of the battle
of Bennington, the most notable event
in the revolutionary history Of what
was then known as the New Hampshire
Grants.
The story of the boundary dispute be-
tween New York and New Hampshire
is long and intricate. Albany was the
point whence New York set out to at
tempt to assert It's jurisdiction
over the present territory of Yer
mont after diplomacy had failed to
settle the dispute; and as a result of
that unsuccessful invasion the screen
mountain boys" were organized, who
played a notable part in the revol ution.
1t was this old dispute which made
New York for many years an ugly and
determined opponent to the admission
of Vermont into the Union. Loyal to
the cause Of the colonies from the be-
ginning and contributing her share OF
men to Bunker Hill and to all the cam
paigns that followed, hating assumed
the name Of Vermont before the tea
was poured into Boston harbor,
Vermont was kept awaiting outside
the Union until 1871 because New York
which was inside, nourished the old
grievance, and threw its influence
against the admission of the State.
During these years the people of Yer
mont maintained an independent gov
eminent, outside Of both the Canadian
colonies, which remained loyal to the
crown. and the States in the confedera-
ton and in the Union. 1t was not until
Vermont paid over $4,000 in hard cash
that New York consented to her recog-
milton as a State, and to the passage OF
the act Of February is, 1871, the GEN.
tenary of which is to be observed this
week at Bennington.

PORTLAND MARKET.


Trade has been unusually brisk. In
the line of fruits large receipts and
equally large shipments were the rule.
In the produce market receipts were
only fairly liberal. The grocers cid a
heavy trade, and jobbers in other lines
report business good. The market is
well supplied with el cry variety of sum-
mer fruit, and the quantity OF tropical
fruit on hand is large enough TO supply
the demand. Melons are plentiful and
cheap. The quality is good, and the de-
mand is consequently heavy A large
stock of plums is being carried, and the
fruit is drug on the market. Peaches
are not so plentiful as they have been,
Blackberries are in good supply, and the
demand is strong. Vegetables are in
sufficient quantity to satisfy the demand.
Sweet potatoes are becoming more plen-
tliul. Receipts of eggs do not increase.
Poultry receipts are fair, and the same
may be said of butter. There is but lit
tie doing in oats. The staple grocery
trade is generally steady. Coffee is firm.
Rice is firmer, and an advance is looked
for.

Sowing Bnckwhent.

Buckwheat is the latest of the grains
to be sown. 1t natures quickly, and
should it be sown when spring grains
are, or even at corn or potato-planting
time, it would blossom during the hot
test weather, and then could not ill
well. Sowing too late exposes it to dam
ger from frosts, though for a number of
years fall frosts have done little damage
to this crop. A more important point
than anything else is to have the grain
come up quickly and make an even
stand. Oze-haf bushel of seed per acre
is thick enough, and if on rich ground
one peck is enough, as the plant spreads
and fills best when not crowded for room.
1t is much more often sown too thickly
than otherwise.

An Expensive Laugh.

A railroad man who knows Senator
Brice intimately told this story of him:
Mr.. Brice for some time wanted certain
matters arranged at Sandusl1y, but his
desires were prevented by two of the
younger Vanderbilts, and he finally
went to them. They laughed at him,
and Brice became quite angry. Young
men," said he sternly, you must not
laugh at me; won't permit it. Your
father laughed at me once and it cost
him nearly 100000, and | know he
had great deal more sense than you
have"
President Brice in a months time got
what he asked for at Sandusky Indian
ap0lis News.
