Something Toe Much or Newman. .
The story gees that Colonel Frank A.
Burr, who is writing an interesting and
valuable book about General Grant, wrete
asking Parson Newman te furnish him
an account otthe death-bed scene and that
he enclosed fciW remuneration. The par
son accepted the work and the money,
which latter he treated as a retainer, though
he had net witnessed the death. If
this story is net true it ought te be. It is
at least characteristic of one the most
obvious and transparent of the many
frauds' and humbugs who had for many
years hung te the skirts of General Grant.
,11, Newman will only take the money, and
write nothing the publishers, Colonel
Burr and the readers of his book will be
fortunate in escaping such a blot.
It is almost impessible te believe that
any such man could maintain himself for
be many "years even with a man of the
simplicity which was General Grant's dis
tinguished characteristic. Pew men did
mere te discredit General Grant's civil
career than this clerical mountebank,
fastening himself upon him seen after he
became president, he simply used liia
clerical position te promote his own selfish
ends. His sermons were always a travesty
upon religion, and his methods a disgrace.
He Iwcame the originator, the abettor, or
apologist forevcrything bad in the politics
of the reconstruction ieried, and finally
used his clerical influence te sccure his own
appointment as nn"inspectoref consulates"
a position for which he had no fitness.
But even Newman came te the end of
his string after a time. The retirement of
General Grant from the presidency took
away his only seurce of power, and
he was compelled te leek around him.
After drifting about for a time he went te
New Yerk, took off ene coat and put en
another, and le 1 he steed out transformed
from a minister of ene denomination, into
a minister of another. Soen his new con
gregation. began te tire of him and it was
net long until he had involved himself in a
(i-most disgraceful squabble. Thus another

A funeral sermon was wanted and
wrrmti furnished ene te order, which, if
it had been pronounced ever the body of
Julius Ctcsar, would have been the
most fulseme flattery. But all the sons of
rich men de net die, nor can peer people pay
extravagant rates for funeral services. Se
Newman again cast his anchor te the wind
ward. About this time General Grant fell ill,
and Newman hastened te New Yeik. Ileie
he again foisted himself upon the man huhnd
dene se much te discredit. And from that
day te this he has been able te thrust his
noisemo personage before the public. Loud
and vulgar, lie has hesitated at nothing
which could bring him into notoriety. Al
ways a mountebank, he lias made religion a
byword and has been able by his inherent
lack of taste te bring discredit upon a great
sorrow.
Fer General Grant's death there is uni
versal mourning and for his family univer
sal sympathy. But these can net be made
te include such a man as this. It is time
something was done te leliove the country
of the only discreditable feature. Let him
deliver his sermon, when and hew he may.
This much can scarcely be hindeied new.
But, this done, it is te be hoped that some
sort of retreat may be found in which this
disgusting person may bury himself forever
from further view.

tion, mid I was compelled te go round.
Senater Dawes is net a great man and
frequently falls te rlse te the level of even
an ordinary occasion ; but he is thoroughly
at home en this subject nnd has made him
self entiicly familiar with it by personal
investigation. He boldly charges that the
interior department under Teller and llo lle
publlcan administration has connived at
a wholly illegal and unjustiflable policy,
enriching jobbers, demoralizing the Indi
ans and driving them back te deeper de
gradation. Mr. Dawes says : " The new
administration has inherited this wretched
legacy, but it cannot escnpe administering
it. It must call In, rovlse and take control
of these leases." That is Just about what
the new administration seems te be doing.
Army Vurnncics.
The refusal of the president te till the
vacancicsiu thenriny by appointment from
civil life will commend itself le the coun
try as a senslble conclusion. There are
something llke a dozen vacancies in second
lieutenancies which will, in this way, le
saved for the next class at West Point
which will be large. Thcse young men
can therefore be provided for at ence.
There is no special necessity for filling the
vacancies at this time when it is impossi impessi impessi
beo te give all our soldiers work, and until
a system has been devised by which
seme assurance shall be given that appli
cants for clviLllfe for places in the army
are well qualified for their places, it is
much better that the AVest Point academy
should furnish us with our soldiers. It is
evident that the day has passed when
presidential, cabluet and congressional
favorites can be pushed upon the army.

formero than twenty years his cloe personal

as a soldier he hns shown himself n discrimi

It. M. Engle said the long and soveio
dreuth had Injured the grass, potatoes, corn
anil ethor crops. The young clevor Is burned
out. The corn has been badly blown down
by the late storm and can't get up again.
Lute potatoes may de well, but early ones
are hardly a half crop. Apples will net
make halt a crop; pooches pretty geed; pears
will yleld the best crop had ler years ;
imlnces are sutlbrlng from blight. The eats
crop had been cut down by the dreuth nearly
ene half. Halnfall June nnd July was only
3 Inches. Fer the six months less than U
Inches.
Casperlllller said, the hayciep was net
large, but very geed. The wheat crop he
rated at ene-half. The corn crop with a fa fa fa
vornble August will make a geed crop. The
fruit crop is cone rally lnwr. oxcent nears.
which are line. The grapes wero Injured by
locusts.
Jehnsen Miller said the report from War
wick as te gram and hay is about the same
ts'nbove rojiertod. There will be a geed crop
of corn; the clevor and iiastureis damaged
by the dreuth ; the eats crop is geed.
Jehn C. Llnville reported n geed crop of
eats, the best in 11 f toen years; three-fourths
of the young clever has been killed by the
dreuth; small fruits wero average crop ; to
bacco is very backward, and unless the
wcather Is very favornble the yield will be
light
James Weed roiKirted very dry weather In
Ijlttle Britain ; the wheat crop was much
better than exjccted, but net three-fourths as
heavy as last year : eats light ; npples peer;
corn leeks very well ; had rain en Sunday
week, but none Sunday or Saturday.
Jehn U. Iunlls Slid the reports juet made
from ethor sections of the county pretty well
described the crejs of Maner. Wheat turned
out much honor than expected ; eats were
geed; corn premises a very geed crop, and
he de late potitecs ; early potiteos net hair n
crop, he visited n number of tanners In
Maner and ethor townships, who have
threshed their wheat and obtained from them
the following figures of the number et acres
planted by tliem and the yield in bushels:
crowds offarmers who will attend the lnstl lnstl
tute. He paid n high compliment te the old
inombers of the Lancaster County Agricul
tural soclety for the geed work they have
dene nnd nre doing.
James Weed thought It was due te the

Tlndlcallng the Administration.
Senater Dawes, through the columns of
tho-New-Yerk 2Vt'6i(ue, amply Justifies the
president, his secretary of the interior and
the attorney general,ln the stand they have
taken against the cattlemen's claims te
enjoy the territory of the government upon
Which it has placed the Indians. They are
there as wards of the natIen,with no power
te lease their lands nor te divert them -
from the purposes for which theynre given
te them. Rapacious ranchmen, taking ad
vantage of the shiftlessncss of the average
red man and his desire te get n little
ready money, have leased their lands at
rates which affords them enormous profits.
The government nnd Indians are net only
cheated out of their own, but the demoral
izing results of the rel'cy are widespread
As Senater Dawes points out :
Take for lnstance the Choyennos and Ara Ara Ara
pahoes, new the terror of innocent sottlers en
, the border. There has been distributed
.among theso Indians, of this rental, ever
hIiice tbe leases have been In force, about
' 78,000 a year. This bes been enough te en

They have for many months commanded the

Their conflicts with the cowboys brought
en te their reservations under these leases,
are tilling the laud with forrer. Yet llve
years age theso Indian were as peaceable as
any lu the land. The ageucy itseir then
ewned a herd quietly aud securely grazing

with its Increase, would new number several
thousand cattle. The scholars in the agoney
achoel, saving from the goveramont rations
and Investing in cattle, had also n little
herd or their own, numberlng at that
time slxty-five. Twe of the pupils wero
married In the month of August of that
year and took their share of the school herd
and went out te set up a ranch of their ew n.
In that month I travolled nine days through

Tim ever-present perils of the overhead
eleetric wires In populous districts are illus
trated afrcsli in the death of James Welsh, n
cartxm trimmer lu the employ of the Brush
Klectric Light company, who was instantly
killed shortly after 10 o'clock Saturday night
by centict with the ceirijuny's wires In Bal
timore. Itscemsthat he was adjusting the
carbons while the dynamo gonerntiug
electricity was in operation. He had Just get
up te tbe lamp and swung ene logever the
nrm or cress-piece, when he fell back as
though struck dead. The wires caught him
and his body hung thore supported by theui
and the oress-pieco. The cmployes at the
company's works, two blocks nway,
went te the sceno and ene of them
ascending the pole found Welsh dead.
There wero no marks en the body oxcept
soine slight dots ou the forehead similar te
theso made by gunpowder. An asm te cor cer cor
euor's jury found that he came te his death
from a shock of eleetricity received whilst
engaged In fixing an electric lamp, mid the
Jury further think that according te all tlie
ovidenco his death was caused by negllgcnce
en his own part" The latter clause was
sagaciously inserted because the Jury thought
Welsh had no business te go up te the lamp,
that beiug another man's duty 1 Although no
ene could testify exactly as te hew Welsh ro re ro
celved the shock, nil theso acquainted with
the electric lamps agreed clesely en ene
theory ; that Is, that Welsh did net switch
oil the current, and, taking held of the posl pesl posl
tlve and nogative wires, made n circuit of his
body and tliuscausodhisewn death. At each
lamp thore Is a " clip " or switch en eacli

the lamp. Botwcen this "clip" nnd the

lUziay en Wheat Ciillnrn.
Mr. U. S. Hoever raid nil essay en wheat
culture. He held the production of wheal
te be meat important industry in which
man can engage Te produce a geed crop,
the farmer wants geed laud, with
geed dialnage, geed manure aud
thorough cultivation. Wheat does net
thrive en low lands or en clayey soil, but
the latter may be greatly improved by a
liberal application el llme nnd sand. Barn
yard manure is the best, nnd te this should
be added, the rich wiuhingef earth, green
weeds, cut before they run te soeu, and ether
ell'al, all of which should be composted in
the manure plle. Only the best varieties of
seed should be sewn, aud the seed lcd
should be prepared by harrowing se as te
lcave the ground clear of clods. Tlie wheat
should be drilled in and the drill should
have the regulating roller In front of It te
keen it at the proper depth. He would drill
in tlie! seed the last vtoek In Koptemlior and
cut tlie grain as seen as the kernel
has passed lrem the milky te the
doughy stale. If cut tee early the
the grain loses by shrinkage, and ir tee late
by n portion or the flour being lest In the
bran. The old mauuer of "shocking" tlie
wheat, which has In a great measure been
uuauuuiieu, was a goeu practice anu no re-
commendod It. With our Improved farm
machinery we are apt te hurry everything
ve cut our grain tee seen; carry it te the
barn tee soeu ; and thresh it tee seen. The
oxtenslvo culture of tohaece In this count v
causes farmers te neglect thelr wheat crop le
ugruaiuAiciiu j no essayist urged tliem te
glve mere .attention te tlie great staple
wheat, The Ymy Dlscuaaeil.
Jeseph C. Wltmer, in criticising tlie essay,
said he ngrced with the essayist in most
lelnts, but thought he was In errer in recom
mending n finely pulvorized soed-bed. Mr.
Wltmer favored a rat her rough seed-bed.
Thore should be enough fine soil te cover the
sced, but he thought the surlace should be
rathe- rough or only of medium fineness.
Mr. lhigle said that In broadcast sewing,
it is well te have the surlace rough ; but this
Is net nocessary when the wheat is driiled.
Care must be taken te drill it in very shallow,
net mere than an inch. He lias driiled both,
with and without tlie drill regulators and
found that which was drilled with the regu
lator preduced the best crop.
Mr. Wickersham said that In a meney
sense, hay and cotton were mere valuable
than wheat; In a loed sense, rice Is a much
mero valuable crop and mere people l!e en
it than llve en wheat
Mr. Hoever malutalned that wheat was a
better crop than rlce, and does mere geed te
the race than any ethor product
II. M. Kngle said that wheat was claimed
te contain the elements of feed In better pro
portion than anything olse, and the progresn
of civilization is measured by its Increased
consumption. The eats cren unci imtntn nrm.
nre ulse important factors in the feed supply
and their use is rapidly increasing.
J. V. Linville agreed with Engle In what
he said about the preparation ofthe seed bed.
He favored shallow drilling. As te the time
of cutting, he heard n miller say te-day that
we cut our wheat tee green. If we would
let It ripen we could rsuse us geed wheat as
they de in the West
James Weed said some millers took the
opposite vlew, and said we de net cut seen
oueugh. Honsked II the reller had better
be placed alter a well as before the drill in
seeding.
Several members gave thelr e.xnorlenco as
te rolling the ground after the drill, souie of
whom approved and seme did net He also
with cutting wheat green or ripe ; seme fa
vered early nnd seme late cutting.
