Dowa ON newspapers.

Senator Harris of whom we all have
heard. Is quoted in q Chicago exchange
as saying that he would like TO melt
up all the type in the country and hang
all the newspaper men, and the Savan-
nah News very properly adds that when
he had done that the genial senator
would probably like ITO burn all of the
books and tear down all of the school
houses and churches. When these things
had been done, tho Senator might ina few
years bring the masses 10 such state
OF ignorance that he could induce them
to take his advice on all questions; with
out investigation.
But what have the newspapers done to
the Senator that he wants such punish
merit inflicted upon them. Is II that
they refused to publish his speeches,
or did they publish them as he wrote
them? If the latter, then the public has
possibly n greater cause to complain
than the Senator.

Still DRAWING PENSIONS.

Notwithstanding that there are now
970.524 persons drawing pensions from
the United States Treasury, only ss2. lis
Of that number were in the war between
the States. The New Orleans States I'm
commenting upon this matter says that
the war ended a third of century ago.
but nevertheless, 1t is a fact that the
number of union soldiers who are on the
pension rolls to-day Is greater than the
total number of soldiers who entered the
Confederate army from the beginning to
the end of the war.
Nobody objects to pensions being paid
to persons who have deserved them. but.
it is the other class which causes COM

TWO IMPORTANT CONCESSIONS.

England has made two important
concessions in matters in dispute In
South America. notes the Lowell News.
one case commonly known as the Yur-
nan incident was the arrest of several
English officials by Venezuelan soldiers
ut Yurnan, on the Iiuyuni river. Just
within the Schomburghk line. and about
which so much has been said. This af-
fair, which was under discussion for
some time. was made the basis OF u
sharp demand for indemnity, but Eng
land is now willing to submit IL to arbi-
traiion. The other question relates TO
The uninhabited island of Trinidad,
zoo miles off tie coast of Brazil. and
which that country claims as its terri
tory. England wanted It rs a station
for a cable company, and declined TO &C
knowledge the Brazilian claim. She has
now receded from that position, and
will negotiate with Brazil for the privi-
leges which she seeks.

GEN. JouxsoN's CHALLENGE.

1t is to be hoped that the dispatch re-
ceived from Havana. stating that Gen
eral Bradley n. johnson has accepted a
challenge to fight Il duel with an eX-
captain OF the Spanish army is untrue.
No one can doubt General JohnSon's
courage, but dlere Is no personal glory to
come to him from an encounter with q
man whom the officers declare does not
represent the sentiments of the army,
and is otherwise unfit to meet q gentle
man.
General Johnson WAS a brave soldier
and can take care of himself, whether
in Cuba or elsewhere. but he should not
allow the ti,e-eating Spaniard TO inveig IL
him into difficulty from which no good
can come TO him or his people. Ii in mis-
correspondence with his newspaper
General Johnson has reported things
agains; which the proper person take:
exceptions he is not the man TO shirl
responsibility. but the country will re
gget TO learn that he has accepted thu
challenge referred TO.

THE BATTLE ABBEY.

1t IS announced that Mr.. Charles
Broadway Rouss has withdrawn his
proposition for the erection OF 1.-The Bat
tie Abbey of the South" at Washington.
The Richmond State in referring to the
fact, says:

SOUTH ,DAKOTA'S CROP.

Estimate Makes 1t Eight Million Bushels
Lsss Than Last Year.
ABERDEEN. s.. D., Aug 13.-S. r.
Jnnpor, president of the First National
bank, has made his annual estimate,
based on private advices from all parts
of the state, of the wheat yield Of
South Dakota. He makes the acreage
z, 900, 600 and average yield 81 bushels
per acre. or a total yield sof 22.34O, 900
bushels. From this should be deducted
3 percent, destroyed by numerous and
destructive storms Of wind and hail,
which have been unusually, severe this
summer, and the total yield Of the state
amounts to 81 ,s8s, 600 bushels, or over
5000, 900 less than last year The crop
Is. he says, very mucn slikethat Of 1891,
which wasvery promising when ready
for the reaper, but Esadly disappointing
as lita came from the thresher. Corn,
potatoes, hay. and all kinds,of roots are
the best the state has ever raised. Oats,
barley and fax are fair. IS.

TEMPERED BY A BREEZE.
Deaths From Heat, However, Were Nu-
merous at Chicago.

Deaths from neat, however, Were MI
merous at Chicago.
CHICAGO, Aug. ia good breeze
tempered the heat to sufferers during
the day. The thermometer registered
90. The deadly effects of the high tenn
perature, however, continued, and 30
fatalities of sunstroke were reported,
with the list still incomplete. About so
cases of prostration, more or less seri-
GUS, have also occurred. A shower at Z
o'clock considerably cooled off the air,
but only for short time. The number
of persons driven insane by the heat
will probably never be known, but its
effects in that direction may be esti-
mated from the fact that during the
week 90 persons have been locked up in
the detention hospital, all of whom had
been driven crazy by the heat.
There are 500 dead horses still unre-
moved on the streets, the city being un-
able to secure sufficient assistance to
cart as many away as daily succumb to
the heat. The mayor has issued an
order guaranteeing $40 to anyone who
will remove one of the cadavers.
