Condition of Winter wheat.

New York, May 23.-Dispatches from correspondents of R. G. Dun & co. throughout the winter wheat belt prom ise al unusually satisfactory yield Conditions have distinctly changed es- pacially as respects the Hessian fly, which threatened serious disaster in some sections few weeks ago. The grain has not made sufficient growth to exclude ravages by. this pest and there Is little sign of other Lntoward influences. In many States the acre. age planted was slightly smaller than last years. but better conditions as a rule suggests an equally good yield This includes allowances for losses in Texas. where drought necessitated re- planting and in many cases the final acreage was not more than half last year'A As the entire yield of the State Is comparatively unimportant as a fac tor in the total winter wheat crop, it's misfortunes will not materially affect the aggregate.

The Late General Fitz John Porter. fNnw Orleans Times -DAmncraf

New Orleans Times-Democrat.
 In the death of General Fitz John Porter at New York last Tuesday there passed away one of the most pathetic victims of partisan rage recorded in military history. For alleged inaction on the first day of the second battle of Bull Run, fought on August 29. 1862. General Porter was arraigned be- fore a court martial, and by a verdict which. in. its injustice, suggests the cruel maTignity manifested recently in the Dreyfus case, was cashiered and forever disqualified from holding any office of trust or profit under the gov ernment of the United States" Though efforts were repeatedly made thereaf- ter to reopen the case, justice was not done the injured officer until 1886, when Congress passed, and President Cleveland signed, a bill restoring Gen eral Porter to a position of dignity and honor in the regular army of the Uni ted States. The last vestige of justice contained in the charges presented by General Porter's prosecutors was swept to the winds in 1882. when General Grant. in an article entitled An Unde- served Stigma" stated with character istic clearness and candor that he was thoroughly convinced of General Por- ter's innocence. In these later days. when the Dreyfus incident has heated to the point of indignation the hear. CT Cnristendom, Americans have only to look back forty years to realize that while the spirit of militarism animates people, Judgment easily flees to brutish breasts, and eve nAnglo- Sax onS readily lose their reason.

 Action upon Promissory Notes Alp

 1. Pleading and practice when pre- sumption indulged on appeal to sustain ruling of the trial court.-Where the record on appeal fails to set out the demurrers to a plea, and there IS nothing to show upon what ground the demurrer thereto rested. the appellate court will presume, in order to support the rulings of the trial court in over ruling such demurrer. that no sufficient ground Of demurrer was presented.
 ?. Same: insufficient judgment upon demurrer The recital in a judgment entry "Come the parties and the de- murrers to pleas are heard and overruied. is nothing more than mere mumcronda of the actlon or the court, and does not constitute a Judgment of the trial court upon the demurrers, which authorizes review of the rulings thereon by the appellate court.
