HILLS RETIREMENT


The announcement by David B. Hill
that he will retire from active partici
patton in politics with the close of the
present year is an event of more than
ordinary magnitude. Mr.. Hill has pro-
voked the strongest antagonisms and
secured the strongest attachments in
his long political career. He has been
we'll loved and we'll hated. He has
been elected to high position by great
majorities over strong opponents, and
he has been defeated by great majori-
ties when it was expected that he
would win. But from first to last he
has been a factor to be reckoned with
in the politics, both of the state of
New York and of the nation.
Mr.. Hills declaration is well timed.
1t comes at a moment when, to speak
frankly, it will be at once of most
service to his party and to himself;
when he finds an opportunity to retire
with all the honors Of a great victory
fresh upon him, and when he can give
to the national Democracy an aid and
strength that would not be quite the
same but for his assurance. For it has
been his lot to inspire distrust as well
as to awaken antagonisms. In politics
he has always been a man of craft;
fI1ll nf
He was never without an arrow in his
quiver And the voter grew restive
under a long series of surprises, COM
ing to suspect a lack or at least an
uncertain devotion to principle where
so much was sacrificed to the necessi-
ties of the moment.
All this did not affect the devotion
to Mr.. Hill of solid body of party
adherents. 1t added to rather than de-
tracted from his value as party man
ager; being a series of qualities with
out which the successful party man
self long: And the occasions have been
rare indeed when any one could van
quish Mr.. Hill if he threw himself
earnestly into the battle He fought a
great fight this year for control in his
own state and won out against heavy
odds. He may we'll grow weary of the
fray and decide that this victory shall
mark the close of an active political
career.
We have measured Mr.. Hill here as
a critical and unsparing world esti-
mates him. But they would do great
nobler qualities. Mr. Hill is true and
loyal friend; and probably his deepest
faith and most loyal duty are given
to the Democratic party. The pas
sionate protestation of his which has
drawn many shaft of ridicule, his
announced platform, 81 am a Demo-
crat," sincerely expressed the man. In
the Democratic party he has believed,
and for it he has labored with an
earnestness that would cover infinitely
more sins than he has ever committed.
He believed that Judge Parker was
a fit man for president. He believed
that he could be elected. His faith in
the man and in the opportunity drew
him into the combat; and as far as
political management goes no one can
doubt that he contributed largely to
his friends nomination. That was the
glory that he sought. He also knew,
being the victim of no small vanities
and having the power to estimate
forces in1personally that is essential 70
great political success, that the con-
nection would be a hindrance rather
than help to the party. Already the
opposition has sneeringly referred TO
Hill's support as a handicap to Parker,

FARIBAULT, Mimi, Aug 29.-The
farmers in this section of the state will
realize this year the largest harvest
that they have had in the past four
years Harvesting and threshing is
now almost completed, as many of the
farmers have preferred to thresh out
of the shock instead of stacking the
grain. On almost every piece of grain
that has been threshed this year oats
have yielded sixty bushels to the acre.
This is a large crop in this county. The
only crop that is backward is corn.
This is due to the coof weather. Re-
gardless of this fact, however, there
will be large yield, especially in sweet
