the rainfall of the season has not been
excessive, but it has been unequally dis
tributed Heavy rains in the early sea-
son, followed by drought later, has
caused the shedding of the forms and
leaves. Premature ripening and rotting
of the hollis, delayed planting, slow ger
mination and INSTRUCTED cultivation were
the results of season of excessive pre-
cipitation, making the crop universally
late.

ABOUT SUBSCRIPTION BILLS.

Tse rave just completed the sending
out of subscription bills to such names
as were indebted to us for The TIMES.
We do not thiuk that it can be claimed by
anyone that we have been troublesome
in this regard, as we have never before
subscription unless requested. But the
effects of these bills have been in some re-
specis singular to q business mans eyes.
The majority of replies reached us in the
form of remittances, with or without
brief comment. Others apologized for
DELAY and promised early settlement,
which were quite satisfactory, and
others-a few--uncorked the Walls of
wrath upon the devoted head of the
eiitor who had s'insulted' the honor of
recipients by ''newspaper duns." Singu-
women and from their letters we frankly
judge that the lot Of their husbands is
not a happy one. We are impelled to
state that the issuance of such bills does
not necessarily imply doubt of any re-
cipiant's honesty and intention to pay;
it is simple notice of indebtedness.
Their receipt does not merit vitupe' ative
replies from any body, and such replies
indicate only entire lack of courtesy and
adult sense on their writer's part. We
shall bill our tntie subscription list
once and possibly twice each year, and
expect as prompt remittancPs as may be
possible, and any super sensitive parties
who are liable to spasms on receipt of a
bill, had better pay in advance or up TO
date and drop out of the game.

TOM REEDS LAcoNlclsMs.

The western man who laid wager
that the present congress had adopted
and was working under the "no quorum"
ruling of Speaker Reed, and who wrote
Mr.. Reed to settle the bet, lost his money
but received the following from the ex-
speaker:
The Democrats have not adopted my ruling
but the supreme court has. Anyone who risks
money on the chance that Democracy at any time
works on basis Of common sense, should take
long odds
Another" "good one' which is just now
going the rounds gives Reeds definition
of statesman as ''a successful poll
tician--who is dead.' This week a Bos-
ton man telegraphed him, asking, :" Why
don't you die?" This was the reply he
received: 6 Not yet; fame is the last
infirmity of noble minds"

lime FOR WORK.

The Republican State Committee has
decided that the convention to elect
delegates to Minneapolis will meet at
Montpelier, Wednesday, April l3, and
the state convention at Burlington,
Wednesday, June %. The first con-
ventioD, only month ahead. gives the
people of the state none too much time
to discuss the situation and pick out
their strongest men for representation at
Minneapolis. The state has in the past
carried weight in these national conven-
tions and it is particularly essential that
a strong, harmonious, fitting delegation
be sent west next Jane. To this eni
there should be an early aud well at
tended local caucus in every section of
the state. We hope to hear of these
meetings before many days.

pay 20 cents On the dollar. The reckoning would
come for those Democrats who were trying to
make Farmers Alliance party out of the DEM
ocratic party"
With admirable candor Mr.. Williams
summed up the situation, but it is
not surprising that his remarks were
not appreciated. The New York Sun
is so unkind as to sub-head the
above with civilians Puts his Foot
in it," Before November the Sun ct
al may see more feet In it. But
nothing could have been more keen and
calling than Czar Reeds comment on
the foregoing. The scrimmage was not
a Republican one but the opportunity
was too fine a one to be lost and Mr..
Reed spoke as follows:
81 cordially agree for once with the gentleman
from Massachusetts (NIr. Williams.) He has
pointed out to this house that this vast Demo-
cratic majority which is now here was procured
by false pledges to the people, pledges which are
in progress of being broken. (Applause on the
Republican side.) He himself has signalizcd one
instance already before us and there is no doubt
that the rest Of his party will carefully point out
by their actions the others. Indeed, the party all
day long has been engaged in the noble work of
uncoveIing itself to the gaze of the American
people. (Applause on the Republican side.)
Upon the ground that they were going to give a
sound currency and that they were truer friends
of gold than the Republicans could possibly be,
they stole a march upon us in the north, and the
gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Williame)
has fifty characterized the result. Upon the de-
lusive and false statement that improper means
had been used in the government of the house
they went before the people denouncing actions
which they have this day surpassed (Applause.)
They themselves have overridden what they call
the sacred rights Of the minority with heavier
hoof than they were ever ridden over before.
Look at it. Here this day, gentlemen. you have
deliberately sustained the overriding of the de-
cision of your Democratic speaker, Mr.. Carlisle
of Kentucky, in the fiftieth congress "a speaker
whom you have hitherto professed that you de-
lighted to honor. What strange spectacle
Here are two-thirds of your capital stock in the
last election flung to the winds, daughter and
applause on the the Republican side,O and, as the
gentleman from Massachusetts well says, when
the people get an opportunity to expose you they
will gladly rcctify the frightful mistake viii CHI
Jncy lDauc III 1871. ScVcT SINCE tuc WoIlu WAS
created was there such an instance of the swift
flight of lying victorious over the slow march of
truth. Applause on the Republican side.) But
in the long run truth overtakes the lie and
tramples it to the ground, and the gentleman
from Massachusetts (Mr. Willams) already
hears the tramp of the march of the grand army
OF truth--somelimes delayed, sometimes defeat
ed, but in the end eternally triumphant Gap
plause on the Republican side)
Well, the silver men WIN the day. But

DR.. ABBOTT's BAD BREAK.

The latest sensation In ministerial cir
cles was created by the Rev. DR.. Lyman
Abbott of Plymouth church, Brooklyn,
in sermon last week. DIR. Abbott
championed murderer, Meserole by
name, who had been received into Ply
mouth church as a probationary men,
Der, and in his remarks took occasion to
state very emphatically that it was his
deliberate Judgment" that the killing
of Meserole's victim twas not only es7
cusable, but was by every consideration
of manhood demanded" When it is
considered that the murder was the
finale to story of immortality and
jealousy in low life; that the guilty man
escaped sentence through the gross
weakness of the jury in the trial, and
that such statements from a man in DR.
Abbott's influential position carry great
weight among those who seize upon
every straw in defending the wrong, the
eminent Doctors wisdom may be fairly
questioned. The Sunday Tribune char
acterized his words as sthe most extra
ordinary utterauce that has been heard
from the lips of Christian minister in
many day" All men make mistakes,
and the greater the man, the more pro-
digious his error. DR.. Abbott's is quite
sizable from moral as well religious
poiat of view.
