WASHINGTON. Aug. 15.-At this season
of the year political gossip at the capitol is
very scarce. There is but one cabinet Off
Ger in the city-the attorney gen eral-who
was aGmOniShed by the president to stay
here ane 'hold things down" This eau
ton was scarcely necessary, as Old Sol has
held everything and everybody down for
the past week.
The principal topic of political conversa-
ton is the condition of Mr.. Blaine and his
probable candidacy in 1882 for presidential
honors. For months the papers have been
filled with daily bulletins from Bar HarbOr,
and the cabinet premier has been reported
as being both seriously i'll and thoroughly
well in the space of twenty-four hours. No
authentic information has been published
regarding Mr.. Blaine, and the public mas
been left in doubt concerning his
TRUE PHYSICAL CONDITION.
The time has now arrived however.
when definite information is at hand. and it
remains for The GAZETTE to give its read
ers and the country the first authentic in
formation concerning Mr.. Blaine. So
guarded have been the methods employed
for keeping his condition Sc
reports published concerning him. that
the public was left to draw its own con-
illusions. The GAZETTE representative
happened to be one of a cOterie OF gentle
men yesterday when the subject of Mr.
Blaine's condition was nnder discussion.
In the party We're two contract surgeons of
the army, one of whom is con-
nected with the Army medical museum
of the war department. Opinions differed
widely as to the cause of Mr.. Blaine's all
meut. one of the gentlemen stating that the
secrecy maintained was only
A POLITICAL DODGE
to curry public favor, and that the distin-
guished statesman was not i'll. Others
shared the same opinion. After consider
able discussion one of the army surgeons
said: Gentlemen, you are wrong in your
surnises, and your diagnosis is entirely in
correct. l am in u position to know abso-
lutely that Mr.. Blaine is sick man, and
that under the most favorable circum-
stances he has not long to live. Last week
there was sent TO the army medical mu-
scum, in my care. phial containing a speci
men of water passed by Mr.. Blaine. Upon
careful examination l found it TO contain an
unusual amount of albumen, and the un-
mistakable indications that Mr.. Blame is

chances for life are concerned. that is q
matter of speculation. He should cease all
work, adopt careful regimen, and aban-
don any intention of engaging in

FARM PROFITS.
The American Agriculturist Predicts One
Billion Dollars More This Year Than
for Several Years

NEW YORK, Aug. 16-Farm profits will
be $1,000. 100000 more this year in the
United States than they have been during
recent years of depression, at least this is
the estimate put forward by the Ameri-
can Agriculturist in its annual review
of the harvest to be published in
the Forthcoming September issue Of that
magazine. On basis of the present pros
poets this authority estimates the corn crop
of 1891 at 200 600, 600 bushels. wheat 500
600, 900 bushels. and oats 622000,00O bush
els, against $1,000, 400 and $4,000, 900 bushels
respectively in 1890, and 1.T00.44 and SIS
000.000 bushels as the average for the pre-
ceeding eleven years. This makes the total
prospective crop of corn, of wheat aud oats
3, -, 100000 bushels, or 2S.S per
cent greater than last year and 14.7 per
cent over the average of the preceding
eleven years. The American Agrculturist
believes that unless unexpected influences
wholly change the curreptevents of the value
of corn will average in December fully 90
cents a bushel, wheat 81 per bushel and
oats at least 40 cents. On this basis the
value of the corn crop to farmers
will be 81, O0O, 900, 900, wheat $500, 900. 600
and oats S20000,000, or total
of s1,75O, 100000. This is Si5O.0OO, 600
more than the value of the crops in 1890
and s625, 600 600 more than the value on the
average of the crops from 1880 to 1890, in

worth one-third more than eighteen months
ago, with other livestock in proportion

JUDGE TERRELL MISTAKEN.
His Assertions That the Capitol Lands Are
Owned Chiefly by Aliens Contra
dicted by G. b. Farwell, Chicago.

Editor GaZette
CHICAGO, Ill, Aug. 16-My at
tention has been called to letter
written by Judge A W. Terrell Austin,
relating to the Alien land law, and publish
ed in 4 recent issue of your paper. In this
letter he states that the capitol lands are
now chiefly owned by Aliens. The
Judge is mistaken in this.
| wish to state that while the Capitol
freehold land and investment company.
limited is Incorporated under the laws Of
Great Britain, that at the present time
company is owned by citizens of our own
country, and who are resididg in it, and
that at no previous time has a less percent
age of the stock been owned by citizens of
this country.
1t would be needless to recite to residents
of the Panhandle the benefits that have ac-
crued to that section of the country from
the occupancy of these lands by our COM
pany, but if Judge Terrell would take the
pains to make comparison of the assessed
values in these counties for this year and
for any year prior TO our occupancy, with
the assessed values of the counties adjoin-
ing Us on the south and the northern tier of
counties on the east of US for the same
years. think he will fail to find that our
ownership of these lands has been detri-
mental to the country.
We yield to no one in our desire for the
advent OF the ''man with the hoe,'' and as
an earnest of this 1 will state that our COM
pany has recently, and at q considerable ex-
pense, had resurveyed and divided great
many thousand acres of its land into parcels
varying from two hundred to SIX hundred
and forty acres, which it is now selling to
settlers on easy terms and long time We
have no desire to hold these lands moment
after they are wanted by the settler. Yours

fully the hopes of certain well-informed,
but conservative agricu'turists, who pre-
dict better profits for farmers of the United
States during the next year than ever be-
fore. The American agrculturists say
there will be no return of war prices,
but the money received above expenses
will go further, and enable the farmer to
get more value out of his products than at
any previous periods.
