Advices from various portions of the state arcol the most satisfactory description. Oar wheat harvest will bo unusually htnje. Small grains have without ex ception done remarkably n ell. Oats , rye Btul barley ar < 5 nil that could bo dosircd. The a-uno lows comts from nearly every section of thO coun try , and foreign dispatches show tlm our surplus will find a ready marko abroad. In England the wheat crop ! s much below the average. Franco will hare oi.ly a medium crop , Pro traded wet weather has damaged the crops of Belgium , and the Dollar farmers can only hope for ft half crop of wheat. In Germany the wheat crop hns been deteriorated by rains , but Russia and Austria each promise an average crop. Hungary gives bol ter promise , Iho crop being estimated at fifteen per cent , abavo the average. The foreign hop crop is also reported a failure , and that of the United States will fall below the average. The do- lartmont of agriculture at Washing- on , basing its estimate upon reports rom all parts of the United Stalcc , reports this ycar'a product of Ameri can wheat at five hundred millions of lusholr. Other authorities place the yield at 525,000,000 bushels , nnd atilj others rate it as high aa 550,000,000 juahols , The latter estimates are doubtless extravagant , and can have no other effect than to reduce the > rico of wheat in the hands of the armcrs. During the past two years ho consumption of wheat in this country hnn averaged about .120,000,000 bushels , and if this avcraga continues to hold good our farmers will hnvo not ess than 180,000,000 buahols for exert - > ort , Corn is otill a matter of guess vork , but the probable yield io vari- usly cslimttted at from 8,500,000- 00 to 1,000,000,000 bushels. The August report of the department fixes ho condition of the crop at 80 , an itiiiist ; 77 at the same period last ear. The same report says that cir- uinstanccs favor a further improve ment in several of the states , and that ! io averages of the southern states are early all above 100. The general re- > ort shows that rye , potato , and imy ropi will bo above the general varngo. Everything looks fair for 10 cotton and tobacco crops at this mo , and if the weather holds good tiring the present month the value of 10 corn and cotton crops will bo roatly improved. It is only in parts E Now York that complaints have ) ocn made of drouth. Whore it hna prevailed the corn has been injured us well as the fruit crop and the pasture - turo , but in the great plontoouonoss ti which prevails the loss by drouth will [ not bo felt except in a pecuniary way [ by those whoso crops have boon allbctod. VALKNTINK'H strikers have been do- . tented in Holt county , but following out the plan which they mapped out . at the beginning of the campaign they will como to the convention with double header engineered by Mat thews , the poHtmastor ut O'Noill City. From the beginning of the contest in [ Jolt county there has boon a sys tematic attempt on the part of Valen tino's friends to uupproaa public senti ment. The stito central committu in uvory instance based its apportion ' ment on the vote cist for Regent I'owora at the laat state election. This precedent was followed by the county ' central committees of every other county with the oxooption of Holt. With a view of giving greater repre sentation to Atkinson precinct , in : whioh Valentino was supposed to have more strength , the apportionment was based on the vole given for Smith , a county olllcial. By this piooj o ! political trickery . Atkins'jn received two moro delegates than ho waa entitled to , und four . other procincta opposed to Val were cheated out of six delegates. Aa a matter of fact , on the basis of nppor- mont selected by the committee , Holt county would only bo entitled to four H delegate : * instead of five , na is the uaao on the vote of Powers , Not \ withstanding the ohamolosa ploco of ' legerdermain the county , which ia solid for Judge Orounae , elected their . delegation and Val'a strikers will come down to the district and atato , convention to contest the county. It remains to bu aeon whether the honest voters of thu Third district will endorse Buchjuirglory. Of couiiKE the democratic organ at . Fremont wants Valentino ronom- nut oil. The democrats are always : grasping at straws. They fool sure * that they can eloot a democrat from the Third district if Val is nominated. But the trouble in the railroads can buy a great mtmy democrats und make good any defection from repub ] lican ranks. If Nebraska democrats jf really wanted good government in ? Ulead of simply desiring to supersede republicans by democrats where they are BO hopelessly in the minority , > they might contribute a li'tlu ' toward improving the condition the people. Aa it is their pig-headed and selfish policy of sym pathizing with the corrupt railroad faction of the republican party only helps to keep them down in the mi nority and makes their party a laugh ing stock. There arc , of course , thou- aands of democrats in the stnto wh sincerely dcsiro honest govern men by the people , but they are distrusted as they should bo , with their leaders and their organs , who are either in collusion with thu railroads and job bora or haven't brains and patriotism enough to give their party noun advice. CROWING TOO SOON. Valentino's roosters are very lustily. They have already nom ina'ud tluir man. Ho is almost a good as e'ected. ' Every county ha already declared foi' him. His op ponents nro dead ducks. TJiO pcopl are jubilant over his triumph , Th boys at the corner groceries nro split ting their throats. Kvgs of beer atu flasks of sour mash are running like water. The victory is already wet without a blow. Now what is all this crowing about' Only eleven out of the thirty uno counties in the district have held their primaries , namely , Boone , Buffalo , Uurt , Chpyonnc , Colf.ii , Cumini/ , Holt , Knox , Lincoln , Nance and Stan ton. Out of these only seven have hold conventions and elected dele , gales , namely , Burt , Cheyenne , Gum- ing , Holt , Knox , Lincoln and Stan- ton. Only eight out of the thirty-ono counties have elected delegates with the following result : Burt county , two delegates for Crounso and thu eighth delegate , rish , pledged to go with his delegation ; Cheyenne , two for Valen tino. Cuming , four for Valentino ; Knox , Lincoln end Holt , double- hcudorH ; Stanton , two for Valentino. Sum total , seven lor Crounso with one pledged to go with tho'rest , eitjlit for Valentino and fifteen delegates from throe counties , duuulu-headera. Out of these , four profess to bo for TnlFo. What an immenee thing to jubilate over. True , eome of the counties where primaries have been hold will elect Valentino delegates , but othera are equally sure against him. And Lwon.y out of the thirty-one countie lave hold no primaries nnd hcnco thu Valentine crow are counting chickens icforo they are hatched. It is aafe to any that Val will not carry over one- third of the delegates yet to bo hoard Tom. And the crowing ia done moro- y to influence timid time-servers who despise Valentine but want to bo on ho winning side. That was the tcctics of the third eriuers in 1880. They crowed loudly ind carried everything before them until thu ColumbuH convention proved that their noisy jubilations were very premature. NEAUI.Y n million and a half of dollars lars nro every day pouring into the roosury department and the receipts or the current month are estimated it $50,000,000. 'Iho disbursements average a million a day for the single item of private claims and deficiencies , r/hila nine million five hundred .housand dollars will bo expanded this month in pensiona. It ia atatrd that .lie outstanding calls forbonda matur ng September 13 and pension and ntorest payments will bring from 835,000,000 to S 10,000,000 out of the treasury in thu first half of September. t is only the presence of such an en- jrmoua surplus arising from excessive axation which permits the rapid re- Juction of our national debt. Whether that reduction is not too rapid 'or the interests of the country is bo soming n serious question. Pcoplo ire beginning to ask whether posterity 'or whoso benefit in common with that of the present generation the great war dubt , was contracted ought not bo ompelled to bear n shara of in its re duction. At the clone of the war of the rebellion when our national credit was down us compared with that of other na tions , there wau a noceHaity for prov ing that the United States was a debt- paying people. The policy which was .hen inaugurated of maintaining war axes and applying n war revenue to j the payment of our national obliga- ions wus doubtless a wise nnd a iound ( one. It resulted precisely as inticipatod in building up our credits \s n nation , until in the place of seven - on per cent bonds the government 'ound capitalists eager to loan their noney at five , four and finally at .hreo per cent. The annual interest ohargo was reduced at the eamo time hot the principal of the debt was it self rapidly placed in process of ex tinction. But why , it might bo pertinent to isle , should this prococs of debt reduo- .ion bo continued at the same rapid rate , now that the necessity which alled it into existence has passed \vayj Our national credit is on npar with that of England as the highest n the world. Our bonded dubt has icon reduced to n point where ita nb- solute extinction is only a matter f n few years , The bonds the government which iflor a safe means of investment for ts citizen ! ) are Hunted at II pur cent , mil find n ready market. Meantime ur war taxes continue , They increase ho price of every box of matches , hey add to the cost of all druggists mmlriosj Ihuy increase the expense of Irawing deposits from the banks vhilo through a patched up tariff they naintain the prices of the commonest ipcessities of lifo at a war figure. Phis is one reason why the monthly lobt statements are not received with the favor that they once were. The people demand n reduction of tax ation. The spectacle of on enornuui annual durplua in the treasury , o extravagant appropriations in con grcss , and of an increasingly rapid re duction in our debt are only ovi doncoa of the oppressive national tax ation impost d upon the country. In n time of rcaco wo are bearing the burdens of war , and thu cowardice o political parties refuses to lighten the load. , are renewed prospects of break in thu Iowa pool , owing In the activity of the Chicago , Milwaukee & St Paul road in picking up freight nt their western terminus , It the break results in lower tnrills it can't ' come too Econ for Nebraska , which will have BU enormous crop for transports tion during the coming fall nnd winter , TUB time for rrpairing fences In the Third district has passed by.

" DontlUettds. The following just romarka on the ubjcct of deudbeuda are taken from 'ornev's rrogrcss : With what nro ailed "dcadhuada , " in general , over bo railroads and at the theatre , I have lothini ; to 'do , the present purpose being to prove , if pcaaiblo the truth f two propositions ; 1st. That no other buaineea ia so ot preyed upon by "deadheads" aa that f journalism , and 2J , That the moat accomplished and uccoaaful of the deadheads , which lllict the nowapappr oilices , are the atlroada and then the theatres. In proportion to the expouao in- X. , volvcd in its preparation , no nrticlo i ao cheaply supplied as the nowa paper. Its coat to its readcra is a near nothing ns it could well be , anc to make n living profit , to ita owner it must look cleotrhoro for a rovcnu than to its subscription liat. That , ii many establishments , ia a positive los rccnrdcd by itself , but the circulation attracts the advertiser , and the ad vortiacr furnishes the sinews of war To got the advertiser you must fire cot the circulation , and to got the cir culation you must ciro the people i paper that will plenso and intorcs them. Every line whioh n news paper publishes for any other roasoi than that its editor thinks it contains something the people trish to know- is more or less nn injury to him , bo CHUBO it occupies space which other wise would bo filled with matter tor which wouli aid in building up or retaining the popularity of his journal. To this muat bo added thu cost of putting the "puff" in typo ant the other out lay n it requires , The wise newspaper prcptlofor limits the number of columns to which ho wil admit advertisements , or increase his columns to accommodate a rush , knowing that to crowd the roaiinj. matter though it may temporarily make hnppy the heart of his cashier , inc.inH speedy and permanent ruin. Yet thoio is not a newspaper in the country which docs not give away ir the course of a year many columns ol ita valuable space a trit , but true ex press ! n and moro than that , places Lho gratia noticca in positions which the money of the legitimate advertis er paid down over the counter , could not buy. The people who ask these notices , and who are offended if they do not got them , are legion , but no class approaches anywhere near the upacity of the railroads and theatres. [ f other newspaper advertisers ro cpivod free notice in the same proper , .ion as do railroads and theatres , there would bo room for nothing else. And lot only are the railroads and then.- .res granted those frco notices , but in nany cases their paid advertisements are inserted fur much less than the regular rates. I do not refer to the no-called criticism of playsond the "at- cntion called" to thu change of timo- ; ablcB on the railroads , which may go under the head of matters of interest to the public , though they are of ad vantage in every instance to the reader or house of which they speak , but to the preliminary puffs of pUys , notices of thu improvements along the line , etc. , which are never paid for , which are a source of expense in the nowa- ) apers , arid oftentimes necessitate the omiBsion of news. Why , you may ask , do the newspapers submit to this im- waitioij ? Clearly , the affair is in their own hands. Ah , gentle reader , ; ou do not know the ways oftho railroad nnd the theatre men ? They must bo petted and coddled moro than my other advertiser over dreamed of. [ f ono newspaper denies what they ask , another one trill grant it , and away may go the advertisements from lie ohcct of the bold jourrr.lUt. There am a certain order of advertise ments which some ncwapupeia cannot till'ord to bo without , and among tlioao are the cards of railroads and thca- .res , and this , not because of the money they bring in , but because they are supposed to establish in the minds of other advertisers , from whom fair prices cm bo had , that the circulation ; s of Borne account.

McOlollan on tno Kgyptian War. In the September Century , Gen. 3oo. B. McClollan , writin on "Tho War in Egypt , " criticises as follows the war measures of the English : The fifjt mutiny of Arabi , his first insolence to his master , should have 3Bun promptly and decisively rebuked , even had it been necessary to land a 'orco for the purpose ) . If the mutual ie.iloualy of Prance and Enuland pro- r'entud their nipping this difficulty in .ho bud by combined action , it would lave been better for England had aho joldly taken the matter in hand , and acted promptly on-her own account , -aidrip the ground that her Indian in. .crests and the free uuo of the Suez canal rendered such a course impera tive. But a temporizing policy pre vailed , and , closing her eyes against he future , England allowed matters .o drift on from bad to worse , now , nd again uttering futile protests , but loing nothing to guard against the in- ivitablo result. At length an English Icct was gathered in the harbor of Alexandria , and an ultimatum sent o the Egyptian authorities , only o bo contemptuously disreaardcd. 3ut , unlike the practice of England n former times , it was not > romptly followed by a resort to the iltima ratio rogum , and her ignorant nd puny fee unnaturally concluded hat it never would bo. Then came .ho bloody massacrein the streets of Lloxandria , the history of which wo Io not fully know aa yet either low it commenced or who Buffered nest frcm it. Statements have been mblished that it was commenced by Suropcans , But the probabilities are hat the riot was incited by natives actuated by fauatjcism and lovp of ilundor motives not always entirely liatinct. Hero again was an occasion for prompt action ; but it was allowed to mas , and Arabi continued fortifying ho harbor. Certainly , it was now lear that Arab ! meant to light , the only question being the extent to which his men would stand by him. Jy this time the English nu > at have determined to demand the surrender of the forts , nud , in case of refusal , to open fire. Their guns could destroy the forts and burn the town ono very likely to follow from the other. If the garrison retired as would no doubt bo the cose when the forts wore silenced it was certain that the spirit displayed during the recent massacre would lead to further econea of mur der , plunder , und destruction , which the guns of the ikut could prevent only by the destruction of the very objects it was desirable to save. lit was very clear , then , that the attack by the fleet once being determined upon , common aenao demanded that there should be present and available when it commenced a suflicient body troopa to bo landed as soon aa the Forts were uilonced , to protect the city itnd immediately follow up the retreat ing garrison , so aa to destroy the pres tige ot Arabi , and prevent the rising from becoming a general , national , or religious movement. The dilemma is unpleasant for any admirer of England and her institu tions ; either aho is unable through defective organization , mal-admints tration , lack of energy , or too full oc cupation of her resources nearer homo cither , wo say , she i unable to collect upon reason able notice nn expeditionary force of ton or fifteen thousand men , or her government lacked the wisdom to anticipate the inevitable necessity for such a force at n given time , anc proned their incompotoncy to direct military expeditions abroad The excuse - cuso that the exigencies of diplomacy tied their hands is not ti good ono , for in this installed there waa at t/tako whatever of importance thoSutz canal and peace in Egypt may have for Eng land , nnd it was ono of these caees whore a strong nation is fully justified in running risks and incurring respon sibility on the side of safety for its most vital inttresin.
