Although only six months of the present year have passed there have already bism recorded upon history's pages more fatalities than haye hap pened In any one year for a long period. The majority of these have occurred within the past few months and were principally caused by heavy storm. l'uou Switzerland has to buy Ave million dollars' worth of rifles beciuae of Germany's threatening attitude, and the worst of it is the riflis would not be of much use If Germany should go to war in earnest, unless, of course, Switzerland should obtain allies among the great Towers, which, by the way, would not bo a difficult thing to ac complish. The commission composed of army cflicers which was sent to Europe by the direction of Congress to Investigate the system of lifting vessels by hydraul ic power to enable their transfer by canal or railway fiom one level to another, have returned and will report in fayor of the system. It is expected It will be used instead of locks and canals at impassable points on naviga ble streams. AlcoKDiNo to the lattst reports the wheat prospects of the United Slates are excellent ; those of Russia are far from good, white the war prospects there and eisewoere in Europe are promising. A grand collision in Europe would be a thing to Blncerely luuient, but its incidents would for the time bring prosperity to the American farmer, in spite of the tariff which now robs him with bolh hands at once. It Is now rumored that Austin Cor blu, president of the Reading road, will establish another line from New York to Chicago. The rumor states that the Reading road will be used to Harris burg and one hundred miles of road will be built to connect with the Pitts burg division of tho Baltimore and Ohio. The Ohio, Indiana and Western, with its connections, will be used from Columbus they will try to make running arrangements with the FlUsbuig and Western, and the Cleveland. Akron and Columbus. "Down and still dewn go the wages, sajs the New York Worlu, of the iron workers and coal miners in all parts of the country. What au oversight it was In the workir.gmen who have been bamboozled into voting to keep up the war tariff ic order to secure ''American wagf for American men' that they did not have inserted in the law a clause compelling the protected mine owners and manufacturers to "divide fairly" the bounties of the tariff. As .1 is, the monopolist get all the meat and throw to their workingmen the tone." It was stated on good authority at Harrisburg, on Tuesday, that a cold ness has arisen between Governor Bea ver and Adjutant General Hustings, which, it is said, has been occasioned by the alleged fact that the Adjutant General mixed up the accounts during bis management at Johnstown so that il is impossible for the Governor to give a detailed statement of the expendi tures. The money which the State contris buted to sufferers is being nsed exclu sively for sanitary purposes while the contribution by the people is used in the nature of a relief fund. The Adju tant General, it is said. In drawing on the Governor for money so mixr d the accounts that it is Impossible to God out how much of the State money has been expended or how mnch of the peo ple's fund has been rued. The renewed rumors of Mr. l"aine'a intention to retiie from the Cabinet says tho New York H'wld, have no foundation at all except such as is given to them by Mr. Rlaine's apparent loss cf interest in matters political of late. If the Secretary of State baa really ceased to be personally ambitious of the Presidency or personally hopeful of getting it, which is much the same thing, it is difficult to understand why he should care to remaiu in a dull and laborious cilice which bus no rewards to give him. but which may at any time involve him in a contest with the Sen ate Foreign Affairs Committee. That Committee, with John Sherman for Chairman and Frje, Edmunds and Evarts for members, is by no means the sort of committee that Mr. Rlaine woo!d choose for his cosdjutt rs io state craft. The fact is that Mr. Elaine is r jwing old, and it is but natural that be should lose some of the enthuMism which has always been a source cf ex traordinary strength to him. Sti .1, Le Insists that he likes Lis ncscnt work And proposes to stick to it. Etimat!N crops before iliey are harvested, B.ysthe I'uiludeiphu Timtn, is s.nue:hin akin to couul'i.g c"uick-iiS before they are hatched. Tnis is now quite apparent with regid to the wheat crop of the current year. Early esti mates by the Agricultural Department at Washington and by commercial agn-ci--s pi i red the crop at something over .100.000 000 bushels, or one of the largest ever grown in tlie country. Reports from Dakota anl o'.her S atea and Ter ritories of the Northwest now indicate a very short crop in that section, owing to the extreme drought, while in the East the wheat harvest has been seri ously damaged by the rainy weather. R-tween drought in the West and wet weatner in the East it is probable that the actual crop will fa'l many millions short of the earlier estimate. This rather gloomv outlook has its bright phtize, however. The wheat crop in India, Russia and A ustro-II an gary is usually light, so that all the wheat we hve in excess of cur own needs is certain to le in demand at a fair price. It is not at all improbable, therefore, that the American farmers may realize more money for their wheat than if the crop had turned out to be as great as indicated by the earlier reports. Rut while as a whole the wheat farmers of the country may have a pro fitable year, the 30.000,000 bushels shortage in Dakota will prove little less than an irretrievable disaster to the farmers of that section. Whoat is the Dakota staple and with lees than lia'f a crop the farmers of that Territory will have so little to sell that do probable advance in piice will begin to make np their los?es. Dakota will have little to console itself with this year, except the fact that it will achieve the dignity of Stateboo 1. It appears that Colonel Quay's candi date for Governor, Senator Delamater, says the Ilarrisburg lntrit. is to hi op posed by Adjutant General Hastings who is being pushed to the front by C. L. Magee, of Pittsburg. General Hastings is represented as sayirg, how ever, that he is not a candidate. Mr. Magee Is evidently determined to defeat the Quay programme for next year whatever it mav be. It is so well understood that Senator Delamater is Colonel Quay's choice for the governor ship that if he should be taken out of the race in any way it would be regard ed as a surrender of the Republican State toss to his enemies. It may, therefore, be reasonably expected that the Quay forces will continue to rally around Delamater. It is a very pretty quarrel as it stands and General Hastings is too good a politician to permit himself to "be drawn into It, unless indeed the chances of his winning should be Erst rate. The machinery of the party is in the hands of Quay, and by next year it will be thoroughly oiled by fat fried out of the federal office-holders. Iu Pennsylvaaia 'the machine" is all powerful, and un less its owner backs down completely and ing'.oriouslv the name of the next Rrpubilcan candidate for Governor will be George W. Delamater. A cou respondent of the Inter- Oean, writing from Grafton, Dak., gives a very discouraging crop repoit. bether his tale is warranted or not later reports must decide. Ila Sijs : "The wheat crop or Dakota is 30,000. 0oo bushels short. The figures are large but not in the least exaggerated. The total production for the Territory cannot, under the best possible con ditions from now until harvest, which will begin iu the North ly the 2-jth, exceed 20 000,000 bushels, and to put it that high is a liberal estimate." He attributes the falling off to dry weather, and says much wheat was left bare on the surface by the winds last Spring.often requiting a second seeding. Much standing grain was also wasted by storms. He ta.ks of famine all over the Territory durirg the coming winter. He also Bays fodder is scarce and that Montanna is trying to get rid of ber cattle because they caunot be fed over winter. The whole dispatch reads .like exaggeration, however. There are signs, says the New York TTm-, that the demagogue at the head of the pension bureau is falling into disfavor with the President and the Secretary of the Interior. Tbey find that Tanner has undertaken to exhaust the surplus in his own way without permitting his superior officers or Con gress to deal with the subject. They see his widely-advertised policy in fall force in the bureau, And Tanner him self explaining it and glorifying bis lib erality in various parts of the country. They know that in connection with the enforcement of this policy some very scandalous transactions have taken place in the bureau, and now, when the people are getting hold of the facts, they perceive how great a burden Tan ner may soon become. It was definitely announced on Tues day that the great Salt Trust will be in operation in October. It will be Incor porated under the laws of Ne Yor and its capital will amount to $15,000, 00. It is said that the combination is doe to the ruinous competition between Michigan, Kansas and New York. )ut now each manufacturing point will be given its own district and the price of salt will be uniform all overthe country. It is expected that the price will go up 10 cents per barrel and the loss on the long freight haul will be adjusted. No stock will be put on the market till October. T. It. CoiLTEuJtbe new sixth audi tor, is proving himself as thorough paced an official headsman as even First PostmasterCeneral Clarkson him self. A few days ago Coulter chopped off the Leads of 10 chiefs divisions at one t woop for no other reason than to give their places to good Republicans, and from day to day lie is clearing out Democrats ia the office, w helber they came in under the civil service act or not, and without even pretending to ad vance any charges against their effi ciency. Mr. Coulur and the Civil Service Commission are going to have a pet-to on this aore. UalTauizinsr the Ik-iituct tJrccuhack Party. Another movement is on foot to gal vanize the old Greenback party, in a state of suspended animation. At the bead of the movement is ih ioevitauie Geoige O. Jones, of New Yoik, who of late has been running what is left of the parrv as a very private affair of his own. The call for a National Green back Convention, to meet iu Cincinnati on September 12. nulu by Mr. Jones, declares, among othr things, "for the payment of public debts according to the original contract under w hich they were issued," and "for the encourage ment of the American merchant maiiue and home Indusaies." As for the public debt, Mr. Jones and his little party need give themselves no further coucera. Under an existing 'contract" all that remains of the pub lic debt, including the ti 1),000.000 of greenbacks, is made redeemable iu coin. As the Greenback issue has been settled, against the flat tnonev heresy, it isprobahie that the as Lute Mr. Jones has small hope of reviving it ; and i: may be assume:), therefore, that he will uot let it occupy much of Che alt en t ion of his coming Cincinnati Convention. But the real object of Mr. Jones is to give a Doost to the steamship subsidy job, for which the forces ar already organizing. This ia what Mr. Jones means by "the encouragement of the American merchant marine and borne industries." With the return of a Re publican House of Representatives the hopes of the subiidity-mongers and of the ashington lobry have been won derfully revived. The object or the subsidity-mongers is to get the Govern ment to make them a present of lines of steamships on the pretense of reslor-. ing American commerce. The hope of the lobby, which was starved to the last degree of Inanition during the four years of Cleveland's administration, is to share in the plunder of the public Treasury. The Senate may, of course, be counted at all times in favor of the steamship bouuty joo. as well as of al most every other schtime of public spoli ation that may lx batched in the Wash ington lobby. There is, however, con. aiderable doubt of the friendly disposi sition of the House, especially in view of the extremely precarious Republican majority. It has therefore been deemed advisable to manufacture as much sen timent in favor of the scheme as possible between this time and the meeting ot Congress. To this end all the usual means of operating upon public opinion will be put in requsition. The little Greenback party of Mr. Jones is to be used as a tug for towing the steamship subsidy scheme into the Congressional waters. 1'fnla. Iiecord. Parallels of Tact. Under the law as enacted by Con gress, El Paso smelters import Mexican silver lead ores in competition with the ores of Montana and the other siiver proJucing State. The mine owners of those States do not like the law, and want the Administration to change it by a departments! ruling. The law-making and law changing power rests with Congress and not with the Administration, every member of which is bound by his oath to enforce the laws as Congress has enacted them. Rut the Administration is in a polit ical strait. Its majority in Congress is very small and it is anxious to increase it by the election of Rr-pub'icans exclu sively from the new Northwestern States. The mine-owners offer the coveted sea s to the administration in return for a Tre-tsury ruling which shall shut oa; the Mexican ores aiid ruin the bus iotas of trie El Ptso smelters for the betiUU of the Mjntaua men. That is to siy, they offer to sell for privileges of pecuniary value to themselves, which privileges cau only be secured to them by a usurpation of the law-making power on the part of the Administra tion, and it is currently reported that the Administration has decided to make the bargain. Aud why not ? Is there any more harm la buying Congressional elections than there was in buying the President cy ? Is it any worse to rob an El Pso man for the benefit of a Montana man than to rob all the consumers in the country f jr the benefit of a ring of cor porate and Trust monopolists ? Is it any more wicked for Secretary Windom to set aside the law in order to gain support for his party than for Commis sioner Tanner to construe pension laws awry and give pet pension agents un lawful advantage in order to hold the "soldier vote" for Harrison in lS'J? ? Go to. Let us be consistent. A'. Y. M'orld. The fact that a man ten years from poverty has an income of 520,000,000 and his two associates nearly as much from the control and arbitrary pricing or an article or universal use, falls strangily on the ears of tr ose who hear it aa they sit empty handed, while child ren cry for bread. The tendency deep em the dangers suggested by the status. v nat is to ie the end cf this swift piling up of wealth ? When the agents or a aozen men who have captured and control an article or prime necessity meets the representatives of a million farmers from whom they have forced 53.000.000 the year before, with no more moral right than is behind the high wayman who halts the traveler at bis pistol's i-oint, and insolently gives them the measure or this year s rapacity and tells them men who live in the sweat or their brows and stand before God ana nature mat tney must submit to the Inramy because they are helpless. the brst fruits of this sj stern are gath ered, ana nave turned to ashes on their lips. When a dozen men get together in the morning and fix the price of a dozen articles of common use with no standard but their arbitrary will and no limit but the'.r greed ana darine and then notify the sovereign people of this free republic how much, in tbe mercy of their masters, they shall pay for the necessaries of life, then the point of intolerable shame has been reached.

IlARRiBuru, Pa-, July 14. Gov ernor P-aver yesterday stated that about f 2,5uo.0Xj hid been expended in relieving the Johnstown sufferers and abating nuisances in that vicinity. There have been received by the Gov ernor through various sources a relief fund of nearly Sl.lOU.OuO. Of tbia amount about foSO.000 has been used in the Couemaugh Yaley, and between $-".0,000 iu other oorilons of the State whicn sustained losses Ly the flood, leaving m the bands of the Governor about 350,000 for distribution. This fund is used exclusively in providing food, shelter and clothing for the suf ferers and in supplying them with money to put them on their feet again. In addition the Governor has expend ed $225,000 in abating nuisances iu Johnstown and vicinity, the fund cup plied to the latter purpose does not come from any of the contributions. but has been loaned to tbe Governor for the purpose of putting the vailous flooded localities in a good sanitary condition. It was estimated at first ttat this $1,000,000 would be required to accomplish this result, but not much more than a third of this amount will be needed to meet the liabilaties incur red bv this particular demand on the State, out ot the Governor's fund, made up from contributions from all the States iu the Union. There have been expanded on the Conemaugh Valley ?'.)03.000. In ad dition the following amouo's have nen expended : Pittsburg, $250 000 ; Phil adelphia, $200,000 ; Johnstown fund, distributed by tbe local committees, 5250,000 ; contracts for the construc tion of houses. $150,000 ; transportation expenses. 531,000 ; Chicago bouses, ?14,000 ; value of food, clothing and other articles contributed not included in above items, 5000,000 ; total, 51,595, 000. Adding the foregoing amount to the 5105,000 received and expended by the Governor for the relief of fl md sufferers and tbe abatement of nuisances, tbe latter amount expended aud authorized to be expended in Johnstown and vicin ity reaches 52,oUO,OOU. This sum does not include contributions by various secret societies and through other agen cies not credited to cities or towns. Tbe contributions a:e continuing to flow into the hands of the Governor. Yesterday he received 511.000, of which cfS.OOO came from Germany. The en tire relief fund aggregates about 53, 500.000. Rich Pension Reggars. Nobody grudges a pension to any old soldier who was disabled in the country's service and is in need of help. Oo the contrary, every right-minded man wishes that tbe pensions of such might be more liberal than they are. j 1 be reason that they are not more liberal is that a great host of men are bourne upon tbe pension rolls who are not disabled and not in need of help. These make long division of the pension fund aud cut down the amount it is possible to pay to the really needy and the actually disabled. We have already cited the case of General Spinola as one of them. A recent news dispatch directs attention to another illustrative case. It related that Senator Manderson, who has long been in receipt of a pension, has dis covered that the amount paid him is not so great as that to whicti the law entitles him, and so his case has been passed through Tanner's hands, and in addition to au increased pension for the future be is to receive tbe sum of $1,000 as arears. Manderson is neither a disabled man nor a needy one. As compared with the great majority who pay tbe taxes be 13 rich. He is a Senator of tbe United States at a salary of 55.OU0 a year. He ought to be ashamed to be a beggar, a pensioner upon the bounty of men poor er than himself. Every dollar of his pension is paid by the working people, aud not one in ten thousand of them ever tad an income of 55.000 or the hall of it. The thing is monstrous. The whole pension system should be reformed. Every disabled and really needy veteran should have a sufficient pension to keep bim decently, and to that end every mere beegar, every man who has money or tbe capacity to earn it in sufficient amount for his support, should be stricken from the rolls. When such men accept pensions they not only "sponge" upon the substance of poorer people, but they rob the actual needy and disabled veteraus of what is justly their due. Every member of Congress knows this. Rut members of Congress are mostly cowards and self-eeekeis and they fear to offend the "soldier vote" by opposing any pension measure what ever. A". 1'. TI'orM. After, several weeks of delay it has been announced that the distribution of the Johnstown relief fund by the Slate Fiood Relief Commission is to be begun on Monday next. The Flood Commis sion, being manifestly filled with a spirit of profound veneration for the red tape of officialism, has been unable to resist tbe temptation to magnify its own consequence by establishing a ereat number of regulations which will impede the transfer of the relief fund to those to whom it belongs the poopie of the Conemaugh Valley. Unless the laggard steps of these pompous persons Bhall in some way be quickened, it is likelv that tbe chill days of Fall will have set in before the last payment shall have dribbled from their reluctant bands. The money contributed by the people every dollar of it should have been promptly sent to Chairman James McMillen and Secretary Cyrus Elder, of the Johnstown Finance Committee, to be distributed among tbe sufferers by that organization, which enjoys the implicit confidence of tbe people of the Conemaugh Valley. Phila. Jiecord. Me. Chaixcey Depew, in a talk the other day with a New York Sun man, relates his experience of the officeseekers at Washington. "There never was such a situation in the histo ry of the whole world," he remarked. "There are 4,000 applicants for 150 con sulates, and 1 believe that this propor tion will be maintained, if not increas ed, through all the departments. The President, the members of the cabinet, the heads of bureaus, and the repre sentatives are overrun, and the publio business is almost at a standstill. The whole country seemea io think that Cleveland removed and replaced all the officeholders and that vacancies cau be made everywhere. The fact is that he removed only about one-third of the placeholders." Here is an admission which proves that the "clean sweep" which Cleveland was accused of effect . I in? during his term of office was not clean enough after all to satisfy the Re pabllcan partisans who made sucb an exhibition of Pharisaical wrath over tbe Democratic President's removals.
