THE FARMERS' WEALTH *
Warm days nnd occasional rains
have given nestir.inca of a magnificent
crop of corn in Nebraska. 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.

Gon. 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.

TBE BAD AND WORTHLESS
Are never imitated or counterfeited.
This ia especially true of a family
medicine , and it is positive proof that
: ho remedy imitated ia of the highest
value. Aa Boon na it had been tested
and proved by the whole world that
Hop Bitters was the purest , beat nnd
most valuable family medicine on
; arth , many imitations sprung up and
aegau to steal the notices in nhich
the press and people of the country
bad expressed the merits of H. B. ,
and in every way trying to induce suf
fering invalids to use their stuff in
stead , expecting to make money on
the credit and good name of H. B.
Miiny others started nostrums put up
in similar style to H. B. , with vari
ously dnviaecl names in which the
word "Hop" or "Hops" wore used in
a way to induce people to believe they
were the srmio as Hop Bitters. All
ouch pretended remedies or cures , no
matter what their style or name ia ,
and eapicially those with the word
" " " " in their in
"Hop" or "Hops" name or
any way connected with them or their
name , are imitations or counterfeits.
Beware of them. Touch none of
; heni. UEO nothing but genuine Hop
I3itters , with a buncli or cluator of
; reen Hopa on the white label. Trust
lathing else. Druggists and dealers
are warned agninat dealing in imita-
: ions or counterfeits.
