" As an organ of harmony the success of the Jlcpvblican is only equaled by its enterprise aa a iietva- Sjatherer. TJE Rejntbliran still sticks to its lies about the reg'stration cchcmc. It BtiU insists in ono and the came breath that tlio executive committees have adopted iron clad rules that make it difficult for the moat s'.alvrart to be registered , and , on the ether hand , that its not essential tlmt a man fchould bo a republican to bo registered. TUK terrible floods in Silcsii , Posen and East and West Prussia have de stroyed a la-ijo amount of the wheat Etipply of Prusiia. The llussian crop is reported as especially small and the French and English harvests ara bhcrt. America's crops will hardly fall short of that cf last year and remuDTative liners for western farmers seem a ccr- tiin result in the n ar future. THE UcrflW , which publishes en thusiastic puffs of every quack doctcr adventurer who migrates to this city , thinks that its a pity the bogus di ploma manufacturer , Dr. Buchanan , didn't kill himself sooner. If quack- cry didn't receive the unpport and encouragement of just euch venal r > a- pers as iho Herald , there would be avery , very smill market for fraudulent sheep skins. The Jlcrald's conscience is one thing and its pocket book an other. ACCORDING to the Republican a great outrjgw has been committed by > the registrars of the country precincts in enrolling every republican voter on ihcir registry lists. The U. P. organ has all along maintained that the rcg istntion schema is a plot to disfran- cheso a large number of the party , and now they kick because nobody has be.sn disfranchised. It's very hard to BMlt these people , to be sure , and we suppose the committee is not trying to do it to any alarming extent. TUB full reports from New York state , gathered by the New York Times , are full of encouragement to the republicans. Letters received froai thirty-four of the fifty-eight ( ninths in that state.outside of New Y v ! ; city and Brooklyn , represent the r. publicans as admirably united in Ihfir support of the national candi dates and rccciying constant acccs- 8ona : from the democratic ranks. In the city , the fight over prospective spoils is disturbing the harmony of ofct Iho two factions , with little prospect uf a satisfactory compromise. TIIE 2ow York Jlcnild cills atten tion to the fret that democratic cain- piign orators are compelled to search back eight years for ammunition against the republican party. Whatever ItDC ever may have been the omiasionB of Mr. Hayes1 administration , it hcs been a clean ono. No taint of bribery und corruption lias lingered about the " \Vhita House during his occupancy , i'ho only investigations which a dem- tcraiic congress opened against the l jpablican party have ended th it sudden closing of the doora just in lime to aeo that the missiles had r roved boomerang * , which had idhe i ijurcd the assailants mere than the heP a mailed. The only fraud &nd corrup tion , the only bull-doziug and bloodletting idT letting amonc : voters , the only bribery ii forcing through political schemes , b ive been found not in the ranks of republicanism , but at the entrance to tlte door cf Grammeroy Park. The a'.iility of the republican party to ostracise from political favor those toofl It-i ranks whose actions had been the I ubject of unfavorable comment , has SJVer bsen more clearly brought out t { au during the put four years , ind tlio democracy are likely to find that > the ammunition for their presidential [ -.3ipaign is too old to be Cf material service , and that the activity of their opponents has spiked their test guvs fcr the presidential battle. * - ' n THE RAILROAD EMPISB , | Empires are built by slow advances. They do not spring into existence In a day or a year. Originating in minor despotisms they gradually grow into power and strength by absorbing their neighbors until a number of smaller and weaker powers are weld ed into one rjnited whole , capable of defying the a siults of the most pow erful. Such has bsen the history of centralized imperialism all tha world I over. " Such has been tha history o ' corporate monopolies in the United States. Foriy years ago railroad ag gression was the last evil dreamed of by our people. Corporations were then humbly sueing for char ters and grants from the national government and the states throuch which their projected lines were to pass. It was to their interest to conciliate public sentiment and allay popular antagonism. The roads were mostly single lines joining popu * lous cities. A railroad system which should send a network-of iron fingers over whole states and monopoliza the trade of enormous sections of the country , was as j-et undreamed of. The people had no fears that the ca price of individual men could ever completely control the internal com merce cf tlio country , raise and lower the prices of commodities at their will and liy embargoes upon trade and ag riculture. The growth of the railroads the United States has been one of the most marvelous developments of this country. From the coast of the At lantic to the Pacific slope a net work of rails h.is spread itsalf into all sections of the land. For a time the people watched with pleasure these indications of enterprise. They fos tered every not ? project with liberal sabsidies of money and grants of j lands. Individual cities , towns and ' counties mortgaged their property to offer new inducements to railroad capitalists. Competing lines were cordially welcomed , and in the increase - crease of railroads the people thought they had found the true remedy for the avarice and grasping ambition of the great capitalists. To-day no ono can look without forebodings upon the map of the United States , and see the consolida tions cf railway interests which have tiken place within the last ten years. Lines fostered by the people to give them competing outlets for their agri cultural products , and new inlets for trade , have baen swallowed up by the very corporations against which they were intended compete. Gigantic aggregations of intercs's have placed our farmers and merchants at the mercy of indi viduals whose only object is to extort ' the greatest amount of plunder from the greatest number of people. When ever any raralKl lines are not con trolled by . the great systamE , their owners pool their earnings by agree ment and thus deitroy the very ob jects of competition. The people are annually plundered of the hard bought results of their toil to pay dividends on watered sleek r.ud to throw dust in the eyes of swindled shareholders. Tariffs are arbitrarily raised to cover thorJa es in the acc - c > uuts of railroad emperors. The people from whom their charterstheir privileges and a large part of their capital was originally obtained , arc ignored in the game of profit and plunder , in which the railroad kings mid occupation. The American people are long suf * fcrit.g. Such extortion , ouch viola- tioas of chartered privileges , such wilful l- il ljf ful disregard of the bent interests of commerce and trade would long since ; have become a subject of governmental il.r investigation in England or any other .rh civilized country in the globe. Such : gigantic centralization and imperialism In ism would long since have been blocked and nullified had our people been awake to their own interests and the interests of the nation. They are now beginning to see in what di- rection their best interests lie. Thc-y nhave wakened from their Rip Tan Winkle sloop of inaction to view with the well grounded alarm the boistf ul pre- tensions of the railway empire. They ECO themselves made the puppets eyof atock gamblers and financial sharks whoso only object is to reap the benefit o" their toil and labor , to extort tie profits of their trade and to direct : j I the course of internal commerce to such points as will best benefit the ' pockets of soulless millionaires. Our people are now alive to the evil. The question is , Will they soiza upon the I only remedy 7 Will they tamely submit ibns mit to the plundering and extortions of the railway empire 1 Or , will they use the means given to them by a | government born in opposition to tyranny , and wrest the power for harm from the corporate monopolies that are now picking the pockets and robbing their families ? Will they submit to bo taxed , in their poverty , on the very clothes they wear , while their oppressors refuse to bear their j due burden of the expenses cf govern- mcnt ? This is the greattho all-absorb ing issue in which the people are most Interested , en issue which political , cal parties shirk and politicians evade , an issue which in its determination onof involves the prosperty or adversity of our farmers and the success or losses of our merchants. The appeal to leg islation is one that can be made by all interested. Every ballot pgainst mo nopoly dictation is & vota for the rule liera of the people and a rebuke , to an im perialism , which is contrary alike to American principles and to the liberty ibnd erty of our agricultural , industrial and commercial interests. IT the democracy only dared to try the Alabama and Mississippi plans in Indiana and New York the possibili ties would be - too-startling. . , Connecticut About to Hesrae. SewEiresJourcil.

The potato crop -will ba light. Madison is out of debt with § 1,567 in the treasury. A gold nugeet , valued at $300 , was picked up recently in Alder gulch. Helena's now Catholic church and Masonic temple will be iron roofed. A Bitter Root Valley firm shipped 2.000 boxes of strawberries this sen- son. son.Grain Grain fields within sight of Helena are ripening , and harvest time is not far off.

Extensive repairs are being made on the telegraph line between Deer Lodge and Helena , rendered neces sary by numerous vexatious breaks of late. late.A A year ao , not more than § 50,000 was paid out for labor by the mli.es and railla of Butte. For the past six months the monthly disbursements of the several companies will not fall short of 5250,000. i An old California miner has pro cured a dredging machine similar to thrss used in river beds in California , with which he proposes prospecting and mining the bed of the Missouri river near Edmonson's ferry. . John Skfle , one cf the most skillful mining operators of the Pacific slope , has been examining the mines about Butt ? , and haa concluded to invest hp.ivily , which the Miner believes will start an immense boom. A Chinaman recently died in Butte | and his body wai temporarily buried under two inches of scil in order to . reduce the weight and freight charges in shipping to China to ba planted. It was afterwards resurrected and sent Celeatialsvard. Katie Putnam , the actress , ha * re ceived many valuable presents while playing ejicagements in the territory. Among others was a silver brick com posed of over five thousand assay "buttons" taken from ore from every mine in the vicinity of Butte. Some of the "buttons" were of gold. It is claimed that tourists bound for the National park have been deluded into thinking that there is a road from Red llsck to the Mammoth springs. It exists in imagination only , and several parties are aiid to have started on the supposed route , only to ba obliged to take a back track after a bitter experience. Bozeman is discussing the project of having a grand celebration on the occasion of the laying of the corner stone of the new Gallatin county court home , which will be the first permanent courc house erected in Biatoin 3lontana , and one of the most substantial buildinqsof the kind In the territory. Coal in very large quantities , nnd said to bo of excellent quality , has I bean discovered in tbe lower va-loy of I Sun River , jast east of the Fort Shaw resarvation. For a distance of about four miles on either side of the valley indications are such as to induce the belief in well defined and inexhausti-1 ble beds of this valuable mineral. It | is that these thought outcroppirgs are likely to bo only upper seams of largo anthracite veins lying below oa the blue sandstone. 1 Colorado. Denver's new opera house will cost § 200,000. Greeley and Colorado Springs will each have a new hotel soon. Grasshoppers headed for Kansas passed over Boulder a few days ago. Centra , ' . City claims to have no idle men , there being work in the mines rail. It is alleged tLat prospectors are flocking out of the Guunison country by thousands. Roaring Fork prospects arc turning out belter than was expected by the most hopeful prospectors. The newsboys of Leadvil < e are now "held up" by robbers after they have Eold their supply of papers. Lsadvillo and Gunnison country people each run down the other's prospects at the expense of their own. For several weeks an average of o'gbty ' instruments were recorded in the recorder's office in Guunison City. City.White White Pine and Tomichi , two new campsthirty-five or forty miles above Gtmniaon City , are attracting tires * pectora. The right of way for a new line of railway , called the Wichita , McPherson - son & Denver railroad , is being ob tained. The people aloni ; the line are jubilant at the prospect. The new Gunniaon City is becoming a place of substantial growth. USA good brick court house is going up ; a brick hotel , 45x100 ft. , to cost § 20- , 000'will be completed by November 4 , nnd u § 7,000 school house was late ly voted. It is reported that a plug race , side by side , between the Alpine fire com pany , of Georgetown , and the Bates , of Denver , Vill take place within two . months at Colorado Sprin sr to decide which one is the best team and to set , tle a , bet of § 10,000 which has been made , A Denver man on aged in taking panoramic viotvs df Leadviiio and vicinity cinity , picked up eome splinters viof rock , on the stage road in Mosquito jiaap , which attracted his attention. They wcro found to be float rock stud ded with free gold. The discovery created much excitement , and many people have gone there to investigate. te.le Colorado Springs claim that the Re publican Valley road will be extended from the present terminus at Indian- ola , in this state , to within fifteen miles of that place. There the road will fork , a branch line now being surveyed north , running over the divide vide and down East Cherry creek dito Denver. The main line , however , will go on from the branching point to the Springs and from there proba- j bly be extended into the mountains. The toll read over Monarch pass na.is rapdly approaching completion , the Guuniscn News , and the work is being pushed with the utmost vigor. The road is being put on railroad grade. It is believed that the road which comes by tha Hot Springs will be completed by September L It will shorten the distance to Salida ( South ; Arkansas ) twenty-one miles , being but forty-Svo rmlfe. Ono of the great drawbacks to the Gunnison is the mail facilities. The mail coaches and mail agents are said to ba of the most incompetent class , and matter from Denver a twenty- four hour trip is often from six teen twelve days in reaching Gunnison City. New York and eastern mails range from seven to thirty days. Now > and then mail pouches are picked up or found on the road side , and in one day , a short time ago , sixteen were picked up , being the accumulation of only half a week , _ _ _ _ Idaho.

Chinamen as fishermen m ko a good thing by spearing Salmon in the Sal mon river. A thirty-pounder brings § 250. A quartz ledge , giving evidence of developing into a true vein , has been discovered on a hill half a mile west of Booanzi City. The Wood River country between Bellview and Gtlena is turning out a good mining country. Over 1500 men have already gone in thera. The grain crop in the Boise vallsy will be light this season. In eome p'a- crs not more than one-half a crop. The deficiency will average 30 per cent. [ 1 The county of Lah Toh has been organized. It lies north of NezP.roe , and its county seat is Coaur d'Alene , and has a population of between GOO and COO ; it was formerly attached to Nez Perce , but the creit distance to the county scat made it necessary to ' organize. Clayton is the name of the new town at the mouth of the Kinnikinic , where the Omaha company are erect- their smelting works. The town ia Crowing rapidly. There nre about 125 men in the employ of the com pany , besiiles those engaged in the mines and in various branches of bus- mess. California. The rasin grapoa of Fresno will give a large yield. Some of the lakes in Plumas are still covered with ice. The iron interests of placer county are being rapidly developed. About COO men are at work in the woods near Truckep , at salaries vary ing from § 40 to § 125. The real estate of California is valued at § 446 273,885 , and the per sonal property at § 118,304,451. The Industrial Aid association of Kern is taking ttsps to introduce the prairie chickens into that region. Near Julian , San Diego county , a hunter , has killed the largest Cali fornia lion ever seen in this region. It measured eight and a half feet in length. The Los Angeles Journal says that throe men rented a bee ranch near Pasadena spending § 400 on outfit , nnd have made 39 tons of honey , worth at present § 3500. Up to July 15,1878 , San Diego ex- pirlrd 106,989 pounds of comb and 07,500 pounds of liquid honey ( of the crop of that year ) , whila this year the export ( crrp of 1880) ) , to the same time has been 71,022 pounds corub , and 107,100 pounds liquid. Eiperimenti m growing rust-proof wheat originally brought from Iowa have been tried in Sau Joaquin cuun- ty for several rears. The wheat is dark colored. 'I Jits season a consid erable | quantity of it was raised on Roberts island.

It is claimed that the Jan Francisco and North Pacific Coast railroad and the Sonoma Valley road will soon be tranfericd to a syndicate of Philadel- plva capitalists for § 3,000,000 , and that the purchasers intended commen cing work at once and prosecuting it vigorously to connect the terminus at Cleverdale with Portland. A force of men has commenced the work of scraping Columbia Bir about the centre sands , which seems now to be the weakest point. They re chartered a tug on which the govern ment ecraper has been fitted , and re been ordered to use all diligence in the work , while the tides and weather permit. As soon as the channel is made it will be properly buoyed. The Oregon Railroad and Naviga ; tion company ia laying its track from Wallulla to Umatilla. The iron will be laid nanow gauge to correspond with the track of the Columbia River and Walla Walla railroad , and barring unloosed for accidents , cars will be running from Walla Walla to Uraa- tilla by the 25th inst. With this track finished boats will not be required to run to Wallulla and Umatilla , and the difficult rapid ) between Cel- lilo and Wallula will bo avoided. Washington. A new ship , which has been build ! ing at Seabeck for the past two years , and the largest ever built on the Pa cific coast , will bo launched on the 21st instant. The last town surveyed on the N.

The several companioi located on Ruby , Granite and Canon creeks are busily engaged construct ing bedrock drains , wing-dams and sluices. Within three weeks' time > it ia expected that gold will be taken out in large quantities. Three trails , known as the Yukims , Fort Hope and Seattle trails , ate now open to pack- trains. Gold continues ken to be taken : out in considerable quantities with | rockers and pans. Arizona Valuable coal beds tave been fonnd at a point near the Arizona and New Mexico line of the Southern Pacific railroad. The track of the Southern Pacific [ is now about fifty-one miles beyocd Benson , or 101 miles east of Tucson > , and they are laying down over two miles per day. The Pima and Maricopa Indians have considerable stock of different kinds , and raise many hundreds of thousands of pounds of grain every year , which they § ell and trade t < fthe station-keepers alone the Gils , and to the merchants of Phoenix and Flor ence. ence.Over Over one hundred and forty miles of the Atlantic ad Pacific railroad have been located -from the Colorado river easily , going up Sacramento wash to near Bead's springs , and through Wallapai valley , near Hick- berry , Trnxtm canyon , to Auberry , valley , and easterly to the Ohino. Utah. The U P. has built a bridge acrois Chslk creek for their Park Cily branch road. There are now twelve mine and claim holders in the Weber mining district. Salt Lake papers complain that too much of this year's wool clip goes out of the territory. Utah's census supervisor claims a much more rapid increase for tbe ter ritory than for any , except Dakota. The dry summer in tha territory is tolling severely on the mountain streams which pus through placer mines. ' Sir thousand ties are banked at the head of the Weber , ready to be float ed down to Coalville for the Utah Eastern. It is stated that track-lay ing will soon begin. The Mormon temple at Salt Lake Ci'y ' is only ono fourth completed ; § 4,000,000 han benn expended on it and § 28,000,000 will be necessary to complete it. It was commenced in I860.

Ltttr * received by the Times from th ry : four of the fifty-eight counties in the state , outside of New York and Kings , present a ntrikirgly im partial review of the pnhtical situi- tion. The correspondents from whom these como are gentlemen who are cipahle of forming accurate opinions of the events of the day as they ob serve them. Many of these gentle men PTA prominent members of the communities in which they live , and some have a reputation throughout the state.'That'they have given a fair andunrrojudiced statement of the sentiment in their respective rhjioda no ono who reads their ! etteis will doubt. Fr.im all sections of the s'ate come words of good w 11 and encouragement for the republican standard bearers , and as each section is represented in the correspondence it ia a good indi cation of the results that may be ex pected at the November elections. The si tuition In nearly all of the Hudson river counties is given fully and comprehensively ; the tection be tween the Hudson and Delaware riv ers is represented by Sullivan county ; the southern tier by Broome , Steu- ben and Tioga ; western New York , by Erie , Niagara , Geneaee and Liv ingston ; the Lake Ontario region , by New Orleans , Oaweco , Monroe and Jeflfcrson ; northern New York , by St. Lawrence and Franklin ; while the sentiment of tha great central section represented by Chenango , Cortland , Fulton , Herkimer , Madi son , Onondago. Ontario , Otsego and Seneca. In all of these the republican 1r can party is united in support of Garfield - field and Arthur , and nowhere ris there any talk of scratching or bolt ing. The loud boast ot the democrats that General Hancook would capture the soldier vote is refuted in every in stance , and it ia made evident that the largo majority of political con verts this year will bo accessions nto the republican ranks. In all the coun ties from which na returns have come a large vote is expected , and from all comes the predicti < n that Garfield and Arthur will receive a much more solid support and larger majorities than did Hayes and Wlipelor in 1876.
