In Canada last week four wealthy
residents of New York were caught on
board Montreal train with 400 pounds
of fish taken IN Canadian waters.
They had no fishing-license, and the
officers took one of them, Captain
Hugh R. Garden. Of New York, into
custody. Captain Garden furnished
security and was released, pending an
inquiry. TIE Captain then started

For thirty years the farmer has

The poor old fellow has for years been
trudging along between his pillow

reaping his crops. When he went to
inquire the prices of his merchandise.
he was appalled, to fnd prices SO low
that he was little worse off at
the end of the year than when
the year began. His products had
! gone down, whilst other things had
advanced, or held their own. His cat
tie brought him nothing. his sheep
were unstable. his hogs and horses
had eaten off their heads, SO there was
nothing to do after every year end

GRAIN TRADE AND CROPS.

The Cincinnati Price Current Of last
Thursday says
Nothing has occurred the past week
to change the indications as 70 the
grain crops in any essential character
istic. The corn crop in many sections
is being actively cut up. In some OF
the western localities, including por-
lions of Iowa. etc, the crop is not yet
fully matured, excepting the carrier
planted. But there remains a COM
paratively small part of the crop in
such condition as to be injured to any
important degree by frosts.
Concerning the wheat and oats crops
there is nothing new in the late lnfor.
nation. The shortage in yield and
large proportion of low quality OF
grain for both crops continue to be
conspicuously reflected. Late thresh
ing results are in line with previous
returns.
Autumn blowing operations have
progressed favorably to large extent,
but are now somewhat interfered with
by dry weather in portions of the
West.
The current expressions concerning
probable autumn seeding of wheat are
variable, and not sufficiently complete
to form reliable basis for calcula-
tions. but appear to point to an area
fully equal to OR exceeding last year.
The Chicago grain markets have not
made striking changes during the
week, and have evidently been lacking
in important speculative operations.
Compared with a week ago prices
close little better for wheat, some
what lower for corn, and about the
same for oats.
December wheat at Chicago closed
&c below the highest point of the week,
1sc above the lowest point, and &c
higher than @ week ago.
Corn at Chicago tor December
closed 1c below the highest point of the
week, &c above the lowest point of the
week, and &c lower than week ago.
Wheat receipts at primary markets
were 1862, 900 bushels for the week,
against 1864, 900 the preceding week,
and 4, 1927, 600 last year.
Corn receipts were 3,475,000 bushels,
against 2.933,00 the preceding week,
and 1854, GOO last year.

California and Ohio.

Hon. jeff. Chandler, of Los Angeles,
Cal, is no " in the Eastern States, where
he has already made several speeches
In an interview says: =
when / left Los Angeles ''they
were making preparations for great
Republican demonstration. On my ar
rival found letter stating that the
feature of the rally was the way in
which at every utterance of Bryan's
name by the speaker the audience
cheered, and that, you know, was a
strong Republican district. am salts
fed that California will elect Bryan and
Sewall electors by large majority. and
every Democratic candidate for Con-
gress, except perhaps, in the Los An
geles District, and in that district the
Democratic will also succeed if they
fuse. The same conditions exist in all
the Pacific Slope States"
ION my way here saw the chairman
of the Democratic State Committee of
Ohio, and he showed me tabulated
statement by localities giving the esti.
mated Democratic and Republican
vote. It showed Democratic major
ity in the State upwards of q, 900, and
he told me that was q conservative esti-
mate. What struck me most fOrclbly
was the large number of Republican
free coinage men who had expressed
their intention to vote for Bryan and
Sewall.

Judge Campbell Of W. Va, Misrepre-
scented.

Some person by the name of Arthur
Middleton, who is said to have been
born and raised in Charleston. and
who is said to be given to the flowing
bowl, and who is said to have the best
use of the explosives known to the
''roust about or Charlestonian, has
been travelling about through West
Virginia asserting that he was Dem
ocrat, but was really hunting up mat
ter for that very staunchly Republi.
can, and not particularly oversscrupu-
lous journal the Wheeling Intezzigeas-
Ger, and among other things he wrote
was purported conversation between
himself and Judge A. N. Campbell of
Monroe, who is now candidate for
reelection. He, Mr.. Middleton, has
stated in substance that Judge Camp
bell cursed and damned everybody
and everything in his county, and the
Republicans in particular, and was
so partisan and bitter that he, Mr..
Middleton, became disgusted. Now
we happen to know Judge Campbell,
though our acquaintaIce does not ex-
tend to Mr.. Middleton. 1t is therefore
impossible to say how much OF such
talk as judge, Campbell may have
poured into his ear, it took to disgust
him (Mr. Middleton). But as for Judge
Campbell, we have been with him day
and night, on many occasions.
He is an elder in the Presbyterian
church, man of as little bitterness as
we ever knew, broad minded, big
hearted, and the last man on earth to
disgust anybody, and the last man to
sink into virtupuration and abuse. If
Mr.. Middleton is half SO good man,
he has much of which to be proud, and
we hope it was the flowing bowl and
no real intention to do Judge Camp
bell All injury, which prompted the
article.
