What It Skews.
Seme people are disposed te rail at our
Brosius because, being one of the apos
tles of the people, he has been taken up'
en a hill-top and has been tempted suc
cessfully with the possessions offered
him. But these people de our Marriett
injustice. What has he taken, pray, but
a nomination for Congress ? And a
nomination which can never be an elec
tion. Suppose that he does find himself
new in the company of selfish politicians
who are placemen and net patriots, and
"whose machinery enables them te held
power against the will of the people."
Our Marriett en Decoration day in an
oration prepared for that special occasion
indulged himself in such expressions as
these, signifying his detestation of the
unpatriotic and selfish politician. But
what of it ? What if te-day he joins
hands with Den Cameren whom he then
denounced and becomes his candidate for
Congress ? Dees it show that our Mar
riett has changed his views ? By no
means ! It only demonstrates that for
this one time only he has selected an un
selfish patriot for a high office, and
that the unselfish patriot finds it
te be his duty te step up and take the
nomination. Why should he net ? Is he
net doing his part te free the Be
publican party from the class of
candidates it usually is given V A little
leaven leavenelh the whole lump some
times, and who can tell hew far a Mar
riett Brosius mixture may go toward
making the Republican body rise ? It
is something towards it anyway, and
Mr. Brosius has a right te contribute it,
being all his own and all that he pos pes
esses. He gives Brosius te the regular
Republican party ; Brosius is geed ;
therefore Brosius will de it geed.
New if we should admit that Brosius
was bad ; or that the evil associations
he gets into would corrupt him, then, of
course, we would have te concede that
he had sacrificed himself in vain. But
the spectacle is a very different one. It
is that of our Marriett, apostle of tem
perance, patriotism and pure politics,
who submits te be lifted up by the base
and unpatriotic hands lie has de
nounced and still denounces, into a can
didacy where lie may shine upon the
people and if he cannot be elected may at
least furnish te the world the spectacle
of one man honored of the Republican
party who is without political guile.
Mr. Brosius has acted logically in
accepting this candidacy, and it wasn't
the deranging effect of the lightning belt
which he says struck him se hard. Mr.
Brosius is sane as he steps into line
with Cameren ; just te show the con
tra t, you knew.
In a Bad Predicament.
Mr. Lear writes another letter te Sen Sen
aeor Cameren, but says nothing of con
sequence save that he proposes te vote
for Beaver though he is sure te be de
feated. He declines te be an Independ
ent, because he is a Republican, and for
the same reason lie won't be a Demo
crat. The Independents he likens te
mules, and considers their function te
be te kick the Republican party te death.
That attitude he is net willing te as
sume ; and summons Senater Cameren
te help him get the party out of the
kickers' reach. His plan seems te be te
get close up into the embrace of the
mules, se that they won't have room for
their heels te play in. The plan
is a very geed one ; if there is
no objection te the mules' company
it is very easy te escape damage
from them by getting close up. Mr.
Lear's trouble, however, is that the Re
publican party is between two mules and
in such close quarters that when it gets
near one it comes within fair play of the
heels of the ether. If he could get these
mules' heads turned the same way he
could find a safe place in the rear for the
party te fellow after them. But mules
won't be managed; they decline te go
where they ought te go, te make things
agreeable all around. The only rem
edy the Republican party seems te have
is te club one of the mules te death ; or
all of them. As it has net capacity
for the job, the Democratic horse is
left te hitch en te the public
wagon, without much opposition.
Mr. Lear may console himself in his
solitary attitude between the mules, and
in this foreknowledge of defeat which
has come upon him, with the very sound
thought that a party which is managed
by mules is net a fit party te manage
the country. Ne doubt Mr. Lear is a
patriot and wants te see the country
well managed. If he acted up te his
convictions no doubt he should vote for
the Democratic ticket ; but lie is doing
his best, peer man, under his prejudices,
in retiring from active participation in
the campaign, and giving his vole te
Beaver ; where it won't count anyway.
The nomination of Mr. Brosius is
" eminently satisfactory " te Cameren,
although his Decoration day speech at
Albany was stigmatized by the Stalwart
paper there as "a political harangue
which did him no credit, and which sur
prised and disappointed a great many."
Upen an examination of this speech, as
it has been reported, the sentence which
is supposed te have given the Stalwart
organ offense is found te run thus:
In this country te-day faotieus politics,
pride of power, ambition for supremacy,
and an insatiable selfishness, are the su
perlative curses Ambitious
men climb ever the ruins of their country
te the spoils of office ; selfishness runs
riot ; factious fends dismember parties ;
principles be forgotten in the struggle for
place ; disregard of the obligations of pa
triotism be se in use, and the dissensions
of factions se familiar, that men who have
long f njeyed the honors and emoluments
of office and leadership will smile as they
hug the phantom of their greatness, while
they witness the disintegration of the
party that elevated them te place, and
whose machinery enables them te held
power against the will of the people.
But if the Independents read a little
further en they will find, as the Stal
warts found in the caucus the ether day,
that Mr. Breaius bounds ever the fence
with great agility and alights en the Stal
wart side. Fer in this same Decoration
day speech at Albany he said :
And yet ethers, fresh candidates for pe
litical distinction, weary of the publie '
neglect and want of appreciation ; hunger
ing and thirsting after power and place,
exult, as they plunge the dagger of disrup
tion into the heart of the political mother
that bore them.
This may just as fairly be taken as
intended for a description of Wolfe &
Ce. as the ether te be intended for Cam Cam
eeon & Ce. ,
Gaij. Hamilton has written a very
sharp article in the 2ferth American lie
view in answer te the people who insist
that Guiteau is an outgrowth of " the
spoils system." She argues with as
much force as tartness that this is no
mere logical than te argue that he is the
outgrowth of the family, of free institu
tions, of the church or of the marriage
relation. Indeed, he was mere the pre
duct of these social factors than of our
politics, for whereas he was born of geed
family, in a free country, a member of
the church and affects piety, and was
married, he was net a politician nor ad
mitted te office. He is, as she says, net
a legitimate product of our institutions
at all, but an excrescence. The attempt
te make him out a product of the spoils
system is very much like the effort te
represent Mr. Garfield as a martyr te the
cause of civil service reform, and it is
undertaken bv the same weak-minded
people. Mr. Garfield neither lived nor
died for any such cause ; and if his as
sassination is in any way traceable te the
conflict between him and Conkling ever
the New Yerk custom house these who
examine into that question will discover
that in that issue Mr. Garfield was work
ing the " spoils system " for the benefit
of his political friends.
The iiemesclature of the campaign
premises te be interesting. The Inde
pendents are stigmatized by Judge Bunu
as " louse nits ;" by Isaiah Brewn,esq.,
as ' torpedoes " and " parricides," and
even Lear calls them kicking mules, ad
mitting, however, that there is consider
able dynamite in their hind legs.
Ax infant child who lately died in this
city was named Rosceo Garfield Brccken Brccken
ridge. " Buesius of Berks" may make a very
geed title for au editorial, judged solely
from the stand-point of rhythmic effect ;
but when the gauge of accuracy is applied
te the consideration of its merits, it must
be admitted that the attempt at allitera
tion has net given much force te the arti
cle that appears in the Erie Herald. "Bro
sius of Berks is simply Brosius of Berks,"
only in the mind of the editor of our con
temporary en the lake. Such is fame.
Tiiu Uuiontewu Genius of Liberty,
which has for several years been under
the superintendence of Mr. Albert Mar
shall, is new published under the editorial
charge of Frank M. Biggins, until re
cently city editor of the Pittsburgh Pest,
in partnership with Mr. Marshall. The
Genius of Liberty is ene of the eldest
newspapers in the state, having been es
tablished in 1805, and its excellence will
be enhanced by the valuable editorial
management of Mr. Marshall.
"The effects of modern scepticism as in
dulged in by young men," the Rev. Dr.
Newman Smyth said in the course of his
sermon Sunday week before the congrega
tion of the Old Seuth Church in Bosten,
" young men who de net knew hew te
take the first deep sounding in a passage
of thought, are as pitiful as the cenceit of
a sea gull who, having dipped its wings in
the briny deep, seeks the upper currents
of the air, firmly believing that it knows
all about salt water."
Cexsistencie's a jewel. Our esteem
ed contemporary, the Clarien Dem
ocrat, flies the names of Jehn Truukey at
its masthead as its choice for the Demo
cratic nomination for governor, and fol fel
lows it up with a very sensible editorial
article devoted te showing that " it would
hardly be advisable te take the only Dem
ocrat remaining en the supreme bench of
this state, the only man who stauds be
tween the people and the corporations,
from that position, and where he will re
main for nearly seventeen years longer,
au.l for the sake of puttiug him for four
yeais iu the gubernatorial chair at Har
risburg." The Democrat prints Judge
Truukcy's letter te the Venango conven
tion, and impliedly thinks that settles it,
but all the sanie continues te float the
Trunkey standard " subject te the deci
sion of the Democratic state convention."
The Christian Advocate puts itself en
record as fellows : " The mere closely the
method of conferring degrees in this coun
try is looked into, and the sources from
which many of them come, and the legal,
theological, philosophical, literary, or
general attainments and works of many
who receive them are examined, the mere
scandalous de many of the proceedings
and the mere empty de the titles appear.
Many institutions net above the grade of
Bccond-rate academics are shewcriug de
grees right and left. An institution, net
one of whose faculty can construe a son sen son
tence of Latin, or write geed English,
conferred the degrce of LL. D. upon a
person without any pretense of having a
common English education. Seme of the
most inferior schools in the far Seuth
among the freed men (net these which are
really worthy of respect) ; but scuoels
net up te the grade of a grammar school,
are conferring degrees, net only ou the
members of their own race and section,
but upon ministers and teachers in all
parts el the country. Seme men have
practically purchased the degrce of doctor
of divinity by gifts of books or musical
instruments."
The nomination of Citizen Brosius con
tinues te be the subject of general com
ment by the pte-ts of the state, the Regular
journals almost uniformly commending it
as a fit one ; the Independents testifying
te his personal merits and some of the
pungent paragraphers seizing upon the
report of the speech made by him iu this
city en Wednesday night as a fine subject
for their witicisms. The Evening Telegraph
represents some extracts from it, head
lined " Bresiusiana Brosius Struck by
Lightning A French Idiot Who Fell
Down Stairs Providence Compared te
Cameren." The Time thinks Cooper will
have te have Brosius put under cover and
declares that a candidate "who says a
belt of lightning from a clear sky has
fallen en his devoted head, should at once I
. nu .
take out an accident poliey. A man who
is se magnetic that the machine lightning
is hunting for him en a clear day is liable
te an attack of blighting tooth
ache next." Senater Cameren ex
presses .himself as "eminently satisfied"
with a man who is " ene of the people"
and " unexceptionable " te them ; Senater
Mitchell has said " the nomination of Brc
sius would net strengthen the Regular
ticket with the Independents ; it would
rather weaken it with the Regulars ;" the
Huntingdon Journal refuses te support him
because of the irregularity of the conven
tion, and Wharten Barker's American ex
tends condolences te him as "he no doubt
feels himself misplaced," being put for
ward, new, simply as a "buffer" te re
ceive the blows of the Independent move
ment, and bear off their force ; and be
would net have been thought of by the
"bosses," nor allowed by them a place en
their ticket, except in this hour of their
extreme need.

Unwholesome Meat In the Uartterd Market.
In Hartferd it has been discovered that
a large traffic in cattle fed at distilleries in
Waichouse Point, Mass., has been going,
en, principally en the part of two butch
ers, who have already purchased 105 ani
mals. Nineteen animals passed through
East Hartferd, where ene of them "gave
out " and was left en the spot all day
unable te rise and with no water or
feed. An investigation of this case de
veloped the fact that this herd was only
part of a large number purchased for the
market. The animals, all bulls, are shut
in stalls where they cannot meve te any
considerable degree. Under their noses
runs a long trough, into which the distil
lery slop is pumped het from the vats, aud
they are given iu addition a little hay te
make a bed. They de net generally take
kindly te this feed, and are ape te lefuse
it until driveu by hunger. In gencral
they leso flesh at first, this less
continuing perhaps two months. After
this they fatten rapidly. They are usually
kept nine months te a year, aud the
number en hand ranges from 100 te 150.
The fattening process is net healthy, and
after a time the teeth of the animals are
decay d and finally drop out. They lese
much of their vigor, and the ilesh becomes
tender. Market 'men are reticent, though
it was said by one dealer that the fact
was well understood that this beef was
sold by several retailers. The wholesalo
price at the distilleries ranges from 5 te 5J
cents a pound. Sales te second parties are
from S te 10 cents, when ether beef is 13
te 14 cents. Frem the time it leaves the
wholesale dealers it is lest te sight, and the
conclusion that it is sold in place of higher
priced beef is inevitable. Seme gees te the
country, but the greater part is probably
sold te Hartferd consumers.
CAM KRON'S DATTL.1'-.
He Will Reject all Compromise and Fight

Washington Dispatch te the Times.
Senater Cameren will new speedily de
fine his policy se clearly that noue can
misunderstand it. He has had no faith in
compromise with the Independents frorathe
start and no lias dismissed all idea of har
mony in the future. He says that the In
dependents must he crushed if the Re
puplicau party is te live, aud he will put
the machine iu order for its most cfl'eciive
work.
The only question Cameren new con
siders is whether te begin the change of
Federal appointments before or after the
adjournment of Congress, but it is proba
ble that seme of the mero important
changes will be postponed until after the
session. Pomeroy will be appointed col
lector in place of Scull very seen, and
Scull will be placated by a snug office for
his son, aud Assistant United States
Treasurer Eyster, of your city, is likely te
be uemiuated again in obedience te the
strong pressure of business and financial
circles for his retcutien, but the mere im
portant places, such as the Philadelphia
pest-office, may be allowed te rest until
after Cengres3 adjourns.
When the time comes, every office in
the state great and small, will be employed
for all it can perform te sustain the
machine, aud Arthur will heartily second
Cameren iu his policy. Beth have no hepe
and little desire for Republican harmony

will win if they can ; if they can't win,
they will have no party that refuses obe

RARE ENTERPRISE.
SOKE HIGH ART II THE WEST.
An Advance tecterial Description of Uul
teau's Kxecntien.
X. Y. Times.
On the day after the execution of Gui
teau there will be a magnificent display of
Western newspaper enterprise and western
art. A Chicago firm has prepared an elec
trotype picture of the " Execution of Gui
teau " from drawings made en the spot by
a special artist. The clectetype block is
te be furnished at the low price of $10 te
any Western newspaper desiring te earn a
reputation for enterprise, and no intelli
gent critic can leek at the " proof," which
has been extensively circulated iu news
paper offices as an advertisement, without
perceiving that $10 is a ridiculous price
for se beautiful and valuable a work.
The gallows en which Guiteau was
hanged was apparently erected in a small
room, and access was gained te it through
a window, te which the cendemed man
and the ether criminals probably ascended
by a ladder. The special artist, who must
be a person of simply gigantic intellect,
since his head seems te be nearly as large
as his body, steed en the scaffold and
sketched the scene with a skill that is
almost miraculous when we remember
that from the position in which he steed
most of it must have been entirely out of
the range of his vision.
The moment chosen by this able artist
was immediately after the falling of the
drop. Guiteau was theu hanging in an
easy and comfortable position, witu his
feet a few inches from the fleer of the
room. On the scaffold were nine ruffians,
including the artist. One of these, who
was evidently au Irish laborer much the
worse for drink, was the clergyman and
persons who study the picture aud
bclieve in physiognomy will regret
that he was net hanged instead of
Guiteau. Twe herse thieves, eiic of whom
prudently concealed half of his face be
hind a beam, steed at the left of the assas
sin. These, as the explanation attached
te the picture informs us, wcre "scien
tists," a jeke which is certainly amusing,
but which the scientific men of the coun
try will hardly relish. "The sheriff, who
must have been at some time in his life a
sneak thief, steed clese te Guiteau with
the evident intention of stealing his clethes
at the first available opportunity ; and
three assistant executioners aud the war
den, all of whom wcre professional pick
pockets, steed at the right of the sheriff.
It is te be hoped that the latter arrested
them very seen after the execution was
ever.
On the lber of the room, with their eye
brews nearly en a level with the scaffold,
wcre grouped a number of eminent scoun
drels. Twe of these wcre dressed in mili
tary uniform and are said te have been
guards, but that they wcre really members
of the James gang is reasonably certain.
Twe professional gamblers aud a burglar,
with a most brutal expression of face, who
had placed themselves in a position where
they could steal Guiteau's beets, are de
scribed as " physicians," but this is clearly
a mistake. It is possible that they may
have been " body-snatchers," but te sup
pose that three such rcpulsive wretches
wcre ever allowed te practice medicine in
a civilized community is qui te incredible.
Any one of them would have poisoned his
patients out of sheer wickedness, and
would have frightened te death any mod
erately weak woman by simply looking at
her.
The most ferocious of the wretches pres
ent at this remarkable sccne were eight
murderers, who pretended that the repre
sented the picss. One of them had evi
dently reduced himself te a state of tem
porary or possibly permanent imbecility
by drink, but the rest of them would un
doubtedly have murdered any man living
ier lrem nlty toseventy-Iive cents. Their
notebooks wcre stewed safely in their
peckets, and they occupied themselves
while Guiteau was hanging by preparing
te assault the thrce physicians, ene of
whom had incautiously displayed a watch.
It is te be hoped that they killed the phy
sician and were afterward massacred by
the guards, for they were beyond any
doubt outlaws of the very worst character.
On the wall of the room in which the exe
cution took place hung a portrait of Gui
teau, which, of course, was a perfectly
truthful one, and which indicated that he
was a much better man than any one of
the wretched outcasts wne wcre present
at his execution.
We cannot congratulate ourselvcs tee
highly upon the fact that this wonderful
picture will furnish the people of the West
with a truthful representation of the ex
ecution of Guiteau. In all probability the
pictures which will appear in our own
illustrated papers will he greatly inferior
te it in every respect. We may be sure
that the Eastern press generally will sup
press the fact as shown by this Western
picture that nobody was present at the
execution except the choicest felons of
America. We shall be told by these
unenterprising sheets that the gal
lows was erected in a prison yard and net
iu a room ; that a real clergyman was
present, and that the spectators wcre rep
utable citizens, whether connected with
the press or net. People who want te
knew the truth about the execution will
buy a Western newspaper containing this
faithful aud beautiful picture. The artist
has had time te work en it, and, as the
advertisers remark, it must be "superior
te the hastily prepared ones printed a
week afterward, wheu interest has waned."
Whether we regard it as an illustration of
of Western enterprise or a specimen of
Western art, it demands our most cnthns
iatic approval and admiration.
i
HIGH AND LOW CHURCH.
riutter Amen; I'hllartelplila Episcopalians.
Recerd.
The Rev. Richard Newton, D. D., who
has wen a world wide celebrity for his
talks te children, and who until a short
period was rector of the Church of the
Epiphany, at Fifteenth and Chestnut
streets, has created quite a flutter among
his friends at that church by his recent
fraternization with the Rev. Dr. Betterson,
of the Church of the Annunciation. The
Epiphany is considered the exponent
of Lew church order and life, while
the Aunuuciatien is considered quite
high, some calling it by the technical
term ritualistic. It appears that Dr.
Newton recently officiated at the Annun
ciation, en which occasion he wero a cas
sock with short surplice and colored stoic,
marched in a precession with the choris
ters, faced the alter upon which were can
dles, and.after using the invocation, preach
ed a stirring sermon without depreciating
any of these things. This quite scandalized
many of the fleck te whom he was pastor.
It will be remembered that after a Ien"
and successful pastorate at the Epiphany
Dr. Newton was made rector-emeritus a
few months age, with a salary of $1,500
per year. Although many of his friends
sec in this recent fraternization with rit
ualism no serious sign of a depaiture from
his former theological ground, yet it is
considered quite significant that it is an
nounced just about this time that ha has
resigned his position and salary. Simul
taneous with his resignation it is made
public that he will assume the charge of
the church of the Covenant at Seventeenth
and Filbert streets, and distant about four
blocks from the Epiphany. The Covenant
is in au unprospereus condition. If Dr.
Newton's move were te draw from the
Epiphany, it would be the second drain
made upon the church at Fifteenth and
Chestnut' streets, for several years 'age
when the Reformed Episcopal church was
organized at Twenty-second and Chestnut
streets, the exodus te the new enterprise
was quite considerable.
HIGH TAXES.
THE CAUSE OF Ii&BOR STRIKES.
A Democratic Congressman's Warning te
the country.
Pending the consideration by Congress
of the bill te reduce internal revenue tax
ation in the Heuse yesterday, Mr. Hewitt
(Dem.), of New Yerk, relerred te the
large number of workmen throughout the
country who were refusing te work, and
considered the causa which led te the ex
tensive strikes new in progress. Iu but
few cases had any reduction in wages
beeu proposed. The general demand was
for au increase of wages, and the ground
en which that demand was placed was
that the workman found himself
unable te support himself aud his
family with the wages he was new
receiving. He (Mr. Hewitt)had personally
given considerable attention te this griev
ance and had discovered that it was well
founded. The rise in the prices of neces
saries of life during the last year had been
se great that the working people had
found that they were being reduced from a
condition of comparative comfort te one of
comparative want. What was found upon
the ether hand ? While the demand by
the employees was a just one, the employ
ers were unable te concede te it. They
would be glad te pay higher wages if they
were able. They refused because conces
sion would simply destroy their
capital. The conflict, then, was
ene which it was impossible te settle either
by the action of the empleye or the em
ployer en any just principle of compre
mise. Relief must come from seme quar
ter. If Congress could show that thcre
was a heavy hand, like the baud of a ban
dit, taking out of the earnings of labor
and capital unnecessary contributions ; if
it could find that such a levy was made en
the products of industry and that that
levy was unnecessary, then se far as it
had the power it should proceed with
speed it should go en the express train
of legislation iu order te remove
the evils which were sapping the very
roots of the comfort aud the pcace of the
people. Congress was told by the secre
tary of the treasury that mero money was
coming iu than was uceded,and the gent Io
nian from Pennsylvania (Mr. Kelley)
said that the surplus would amount te
$137,000,000. One hundred and thirty-seven
million!; of dollars distributed among the
werkingmcu would relieve them of the
evil which had brought en all this treuble
and disorder. Who was here resisting
taxatieu ? The Democrats had ceme te
Cengicss asking a reduction of the tariff,
but that question had been referred te a
commission. Then they had demanded a
rcductieu in internal revcuue taxation and
bad been presented with a bill which took
off $17,000,000 or $20,000,000, holding out
the word of premise te the car, hut break
ing it te the hope. Whom did this
preposition relieve ? It did net reach
the workingman directly except in the
single article of matches. That was the
relief which the Republican party, charged
with the responsibility of legislation,
offered te the working men new en a uni
versal strike because wages wero net
sufficient for their support. It was a tub
thrown te the whale. The demand for a
reduction in taxation had been made. It
must be heeded. It would be the issue iu
the fall elections. Let that issue be fought
out in the fall elections. Let it be noted
that this preposition did net dispense with
a single office holder. They were
wanted as political emissaries in the
coming election. He appealed te gentle
men en the ether side te reduce expendi
tures and te take the lead of taxation off
the overburdened energies of the working
people. Thcre was hut one security for
the taxpayers and that was te keep the
treasury peer. Poverty of the treasury
was tbe wealth of the people. It would
net permit of raising money for jobs ; it
would net permit of river and harbor bills
of $17,000,000 ; it would net permit the
payment of large sums for finishing the
worthless vessels en the stocks of the
navy yards.
THE CROP OUTLOOK.
Wluit Was Seen en a Three Weeks' Journey
A Geed Yield of Wheat and
Other drains Likely,
David Dews returned te New Yerk en
Monday night from a long journey through
the Northwest. IIe left New Yerk nearly
a month age, ene of a company whose
chief object in visiting the West was te
attend the general meetings of railroad
companies in which the members of the
party were largely interested. Mr. Dews
said yesterday that the trip had been an
exceedingly pleasant one. Leaving St.
Paul the train went through Iowa te Des
Moines, and from thence te Chicago again.
Frem Chicago the company went north
ward as far as Wiuuipeg, and declining an
offered trip ever the Canadian Pacific from
lack of time, they returned te Farge, and
from there turned towards the West en
the Northern Pacific.
" Throughout this wide extent ofceuu-
try, Mr. Dewcs said yesterday, " I saw
nothing that did net greatly encourage me.
The country west of the Missouri river of
course is sparsely sottled. It is a new
land. Parts of it but they are small
parts arc net suit.cl te agriculture Seme
ground west of Bismarck was being broken
up, but the settlements were thin compar
ed with the country we had passed through.
AH through the Yellowstone Valley as far
as we went was the richest grazing land.
Through Dakotah, Minnesota, Iowa and
ether sections of the country that we pass
ed through the crops looked well. In
Southern Minnesota and Northern Iowa
wheat was doing finely. It had a geed
stand, and nothing except rust or blight
will prevent a geed crop from being har
vested. The corn there, as almost every
where else, was late and had te be planted
two or thrce times ever. It was looking
well, however, when we saw it. I think
Illinois has suffered mers from wet weather
this year than ever before. At the same
time that state will turn out a fair crop of
corn if tne weather should continue favora
ble. In some parts of it, where the land
is low and wet, farmers have planted coin
three times.
" If I were te sum up the result of my
observations of the crops throughout the
Northwest I should say that the yield of
wheat and ether small grains would be
exceedingly geed, but that the production
of corn was still uncertain. I am net en
thusiastic ever the crop prospects ; but,
en the ether haud, I am sure that excel
lent harvests will be the rule, unless seme
unferscen accident should occur. It is
hardly possible even that storm or rust
should prevent abundant harvests, for
what ene section of the country may leso
another section is likely te make geed."
our Relations With Chill
M. Martinez, the Chilian minister, yes
tcrday presented te the president his let
ter of recall, and his successor, M. Joaquin
Godey, presented his credentials. Very
friendly and complimentary speeches were
made. In replying te M. Godey, the pres
ident remarked : " Your expressions of
regard felt by the government and people
of Chili for this republic by reason of its
love of justice which you are se geed as te
say constitutes in a large degree its great
ness and glory, are highly appreciated.
Such expressions of confidence from a sis
ter republic prompt the giving of the
assurance that nothing would afford this
government greater satisfaction than te
be instrumental in securing peace and
accompanying prosperity te Chili in any
manner that may be consistent with that
love of justice which is cherished by both
republics. In this spirit it is hoped that
Chili will co-epcrato with the efforts which
the United States may make in the future
te obtain a desirable and just peace."

VIOLaTINU A MAKKET OltmXANCt:
Opinion by the City Solicitor en Forestalling
Iu answer te an inquiry by the mayor,
as te whether any pcrseu has the right te
purchase produce in the markets of the
city of Lancaster within market hours for
the purpese of selling the same, City So
licitor Landis has written an opinion iu
which he answers that " any person who
se purchases previsions aud resells the
same, either in store or clseichcre, violates
the ordinauce of the city of Lan
caster, and subjects himself te its pen
alties. The ordinance upon this subject,
which bears date, March 10, 1870, provides
that ' no person shall sell or eiler te sell
at any time within this city, any defective
or unsound meat, or any veal killed under
the age of three weeks, or shall, under
any protense whatever, purchase ou mar
ket days within market hours, any mar
ketable previsions for the purpese of re
tailing or re-selling the same ;' there
fore it is very clear that any per
son who commits any of the azts
set forth in the foregoing section
violates the ordinance and incurs the pen
alty of ten dollars for each offense. It is
te the interest of the public that we should
have cheap markets, and this erdinance is
evidently intended te prevent speculators
from buying for their own profit large
quantities of prevision, whereby prices are
greatly increased."
We learn that the eidinancc, which has
been almost openly violated by hucksters
and dealers, will hereafter be strictly en
forced by the maikct master and city po
