The midsummer condition of the crops
of the country as whole has never been
N ore promising than at present. In the
agricultural department 5 summary of crop
prospects the low figure for winter wheat is
offset by high one for spring wheat and the
aggregate yield is placed at from 5O,OOO,-
600 to 475, 100000 bushels, or an average
crop. Corn promises to beat all records.
The condition and acreage mean yield of
over 1900, 100000 bushels, which is about
200,000,000 in excess of any previous pro
duction, and almost double last years
yield, which was 1,25O,0O0000. In near
ly all the other great agricultural products
the condition is better than it has been in
any recent year at this time, potatoes,
oats, barley, rye, tobacco and cotton being
included in this list Fruits are also in
good condition. Notwithstanding the low
prices, the value of the products of the
farm, orchard and plantation in 1875 will
und oubtedly be larger than it has been in
any one of the past half dozen years. The
only intimation of impending disaster
comes from the wheat-growing section in
the Red river valley, comprising several
counties in Minnesota and North Dakota,
where protracted rain and cloudy weather
have caused the appearance Of smut and it
is feared that thousands of acres of wheat
will be ruined.

According to the returns received from
$40 out of $40 constituencies, the Irish Ma
tionalsts will have rather more representa-
tives in the next House of Commons than
they had in the last; the Unionist Liberals
will be considerably more numerous; while
the Gladstonians will be reduced to mere
fraction of their former strength. On the
other hand, and this is the unexpected and
significant feature of the situation, the Con-
servatives will have a decided majority,
even should their present allies, the Union
ist Liberals, desert them, and help to swell
the vote of the Opposition. A strange in
cident of this upheaval is the defeat of
John Morley, the eminent Home Rule
champion of the Liberals, who is displaced

The Cuban Instruction.

According to a recent despatch from
Santiago de Cuba Gen. CaWpos, command
er-in-chief of the Spanish forces in Cuba.
has recently issued circular to his gem
erals in the field in which he deplores the
fact that so many of the native guards in
the service of the government have been
killed. The practice has been to send
these men, on whom in a great measure
depends the safe conduct of the columns
marching from one point to another, at
the very head of the column; more fire.
quently with the advance guard. Cuban
sharpshooters single them out and pick
them off one by one, knowing that with
out their pilot the Spanish forces easily be-
come demoralized, and many of them fall
an easy prey to rebel guerrillas lining the
mountain sides along the road. Campos
has consequently directed that in future
these guides shall march with the rear
guard of the column along with the COM
handing officer. He also directs that in
the case of country people arrested as sus-
poets the most rigid investigation shall be
made by the officers in command before
ordering their indefinite detention, so that
innocent and peaceful persons may in no
case suffer unjust Imprisonment.
By the middle of August the Spanish
government will despatch to Cuba an addi-
tional force of $4,000 infantry, 1850 caval-
ry, 1200 artillery and 1000 engineers.

Justice II. B. Brown in the August Forum.l
While it is entirely true that the business
methods of the past so years have tended
to increase enormously the fortunes of a
few, and thus to widen the gulf between the
very rich and the very poor, it is wholly
untrue that the poor as a class are eithsi
absolutely or relatively poorer than before
Indeed, the number of small but comfort
able homes in every part of the country, as
well as the reports of savings banks and
building and insurance associations, prove
incontestably that the poor have shared in
the prosperity of the rich, and that the av-
erage standard of comfort was never higher
than at present. Indeed the ay erage work
ingman of today lives better and possesses
more of the comforts of life than the av-
erage noble of 600 years ago. The sins of
wealth, though many and grevious, have
not generally been aimed directly at the
oppression of the poor.

in Kansas will be 100000 to 10000, 900
bushels, of which only 40 per cent is fit for

Ex-Governor Alexander II. Rice of Mas

noon of paralysis. During the period of
his active life he was one of the most promi-

He was born at Newton in 1915 He was
mayor of Boston in lS56-57, representative
in Congress from 1859 to 1867, and gov
ernOr of Massachusetts in 1876, 1877, 1873.
His father was paper manufacturer, and
the foundation of his own successful career
lay in the ability which he exhibited as a
business man, the head of the well-known
Boston paper house of Rice, Kendall & Co.
He was a man of scholarly attachments, a
brilliant speaker, and, more than all, of
stainless character.

The alleged declaration of ex-President
Harrison that he will not be a candidate
for denomination has called out the expect
ed crop of denials and affirmations from
his friends and others interested. The
fact appears to be that Gen. Harrison is
not in the field in any active sense and
does not countenance any work being done
his preference for Allison as the candidate
next year, regarding him as, on the whole,
the strongest and most available candidate,
but speaks of Mckinley, Reed, Morton

with discriminating judgment as to their

Much feeling has been aroused in New

death in Recorder Goff's court last week
OF Maria Barberi, an Italian girl, who muir
dered in cold blood the man who had
cruelty betrayed and deserted her. The
girl was weak, passionate and uneducated
and when the man whom she had trusted
implicitly cast her off her unbridled fury
found vent in butchering him. There is
no condoning her crime, but under the cir
cumstances human sentiment revolts at the
idea of the girl being strapped into the
electrical chair and killed. Gov. Morton
will probably commute her sentence to i'm
prisonment for life.
