NorraWESTERN Missouri is about to be opened up to civilization by a rail- road, articles of incorporation for which were filed last week. The road is to run from a point in Atchison county, Missouri, opposite Brownville, Nebraska, through Atchison and Nod- away counties to Burlington Junetion, Missouri. The capital stock of the company is placed at §600 000.

Prominent members of the scnute and house of representatives wore known to be heavily interested in the stock of railroads which sought favorablo logislation from congress and their interest was maintained by frequent pointers from the railroad lobby. The paid agents of the Texas Pacific and Southern Pacific roads were welcome visitors to the rooms of senators and assisted in laying out plans of the campaign to be carried out in the committee room. One of the boldest schemes of this class was the attempt to open the Indian terri tory, which was manipulated by the attorney of Jay Gould in the interests of his southwestern system of railroads. It was estimated that the sum at stake to be made by a favorable vote of Congress on the proposition aggregated nearly $30,- 000,000. To secure this end the spirit of speculation among senators and representatives was fostered by liberal pointers on stock and brilliant pictures of the results of the rise which would surely follow the open- ing of the lands for settlement. This nicely worked up plan failed owing to the strong and determined fight made on it by men who could not be in- fluenced. But the public were amazed to discover how much strength in Congress could be mustered to the support of such a rotten scheme. But it 18 not alone in stocks of rail- roads appealing for public aid that members of congress are dabbling. Fear of anti-monopoly legislation has brought the railronds to see the neces- sity of inducing members to interest themselves in the affairs of the cor- porations in order to prevent the pas- sage of any bill restricting their ex- tortions. At the time of an important vote in last spring's session of the senate barely more than & quorum was present, owing to asud- den flurry on Wall street, which called senators post-haste to New York to attend to their private busi- ness, This state of affairs is a dis- grace to the country. If the fountain head of our national legislation is eor- upted, what hope can there be for the passage and enforcement of laws so needed by the producing classes of tie country. Self-interest prove paramount to terests of constituencies, the “Do you see that candidate over pockets filled with watered railroad a smaller For September the agricultural de- partment has a preliminary estimateof “wheat crop when harvested,” which affords an clement of values in the final estimate of yield and quality. The condition at harvest this year is given for the wholo covntry at 70 per cent., against 00 last year, and 92 in 1879. ew England aver- ages 97, and makes severe complaints of too much rain at harvest. New Jorsey and Pennsylvania com- plain of drouth, but a8 whole this section dwes not fall much below Jast year. The states from Maryland southward ali report some decrease in yield from drought, but speak of superior quali- ty. Tennessee and Kentucky each report an average equal to last year, but the crop of last year was very short in these states. North of the Ohio river, the great wheat-growing section of the United States, the av- erage 18 very low, Ohio reporting 25 per cent. less, Michigan 27, In- diana 30, TIllinois 46. Wisconsin alone of ~these States reports equal to last year. West of the Mississippi river, lowa makes return of only 49 per cent, agaivst 70 of last year. There seems to be a panicin this state, and the probability is that the dis- couraging figures are an exaggeration. Missouri reports 30 per cent less than 1880, and Kansas, as last year, reports severe damage from drouth, California reports 12 per cent less than 1880, It will be seen from theso statistics that anything like an exact estimate is impossible, but enough can be learned to show that our crop is a short one, The shipments made so far this year are much below those of last and bear out this view. The increased price which wheat is bringing in the market will bring the aggregate sum obtained by our farmers for their crop nearly, if not quite, up to the figures of last year, while in many of the western states where the acreage has been largely increased the sum total will greatly exceed that of last year, THE UTES. Hon. Otto Mears, one of the com- missioners oppointed by the. interior department to supervise the removal of the Ute Indians from Colorado to the White River agency, in Utah, was in Denver last Saturday on his way home from the Utah agency. In an interview with a Tribune reporter, Mr. Mears furhished gome interesting information . con- cerning the present condition of the Uncompaghre Utes. These In- dians are all away from the Uintah agency and express themselves satis- fied with their lot.

Ix addition to the Field fund, whose interest is alone available, Mrs. Gar- field has been presented with 845,000 in cash, the gift of Mr. Robert L.

The money has been deposited to her credit in the Bank of Commerce, ef New York, and notice has been sent her that she can draw it at any time.

During the past year the patent oflice granted 13,084 patents for designs and certificates of registration and labels, The number of applications for patents during thefirst nine months of the year amounted to 20,505, an increase of 1,999 over the same period last year. The receipts of the office are stated to exceed those of last year by $65,477.20. The patent oftice is one of the few bureaus of the government which is self -sus- taining because well managed, forward, despite packed conventions, the true sentiment of the people on the question of the hour and next by refusing to support any man as a can- didate for congress or senatorial hon- ors known to be a stock gambler. THE WHEAT SURPLUS. The foreign demand for American wheat largely regulates the price of we have found ourselves at the close of each season’s harvest with a large surplus over the amount required for domestic consumption. In California and on the Pacific coast last year this surplus amounted 18,000,000 bushels, and from the other wheat-growmg states to a much larger amount. The probable demand for our surplus wheat from Europe on this account becomes of great moment in any cal- culation as to the state of the grain markets, and reports from foreign crops are therefore watched for with interest at our great grain centers, Early in the harvest the cable re- ported that the promise of heavy orops throughout Earope was good, and that the graat wheat-growing re- gion of the Danube would be able to supply most of the foreign de- mand for grain. Recent ad- vices, however, prove these reports to have been in a large way unfound- Srock subscriptions to branches of the Union Pacific seem to be some- thing of a farce. In the suit recently pending before Judge Savage Mr. Thomas L. Kimball testified that on the day designated for the opening of subscription books at his office for the Utah & Northern road he was travel- ing with Sidney Dillon in Colorado; that, so far as he knew, there were no subscriptions offered at his office on that day, but that, as they were trav- eling together, Mr. Dillon made an allotment of the five hundred shaves [ provinces is of the new company, assigning to|anticipated. All the indicateons are Messrs, Kimball and Poppleton, of | that our country will be called upon Omaha, and SBamuel Word, T. E. Hamnilton and George W. Irwin, of |and that both France and England Montana, one share each, and to him- self the balance, as president of the[own country for relief, Union Pacific—Mossrs. Vining and Burnham, who have been montioned as incorporators, not being assigned any stock. Upon Mr. Kimball's re- turn to Omaha, on the 12th of Sep- tember, he made out s formal sub. scription list in accordance with Mr. Dillon’s allotment, ed. The latest dispatches announce that the wheat crop in Algeria is ‘‘in a deplorable condition.” ‘Lhe crops in Germany and Hungary, though better than for some years past, will do little more than supply the local demand. The state department at Washington has received information of ‘‘a deficit in the wheat crop of France of 58,000,000 bushels which must be supplied largely from the United States,” According to another dispatch the crop in the Danubian far from what was to supply the deficit for all Europe, cannot look elsewhere than to our Under these circumstances the amount of our grain surplus is excit- ing much discussion. The census bu- reau has published its estimates, which Lave been supplemented by the collec- tion of statistics by Bradstreet's. The dren, and they have 10,000 head of sheop and goats and 8,000 ponies, and of course it will take several months for them to get entirely settled and everything moved away from the Un- compahgre, but by spring there will not be a Ute Indian in Colorado. The moving of the Indians from Colorado, Mr. Mears thinkd, is a sad mistake, and oune which will injure Colorado this great food product in our coun-|more than was at first sup- try.

During each year more with our constantly increasing acreage, | than 82,000,000 of money s expended on them by the government in paying them their an- nuities, putting up buildings, etc., all of which has heretofore been ex- pended in Colorado, Hereafter it goes to Utah and that territory will be benefitted thereby. The new agency is situated on the White river, about 176 miles northeast of Salt Lake City, and not far from Fort Bridger, and there have been erected a wareroom, 26x150 feet, a large black- smith shop, carpenter shop, agency buildings, medical house and doctor's residence, four employe's houses, cor rals, etc., for the purposcs of putting the horses and sheep. Next year sev- eral new houses will be erocted at the agency, which will give them better quarters than they had in Colorado. ‘WHEN congress voted §50,000 for a monument to commemorate the sur- render of Gen. Cornwallis and the British army at Yorktown, there was no thought of converting the corner stone of that monument into an urn to preserve the relics of the defunct confederacy of Jeff Davis, It scems, however, that the parties to whom the congressional commission delegated the honor to lay the foundation of this histeric monument have desecrated it by depositing in the corner stone a few worthless confederate bank notes and bonds and & photograph of the rebel flag. Every loyal American will regard the intrusion of mementoes of the civil war among the relics of the American revolution ot 1776-81 as an attempt to canonize the leaders of the slaveholders’ rebellion, It is a covert attempt to place Jeff, Davis on a lovel with George Washington and his compatriots. No incident of the rebellion was more disgracelul and humiliating to this republic than the bloody confiict be- tween citizons of this union on the latest information, and probably the most reliable, comes from the Grain historic ground that was made forever sacred by the glorious triumph of American freemen over their British oppressors, The attempt to immor- talize the confederacy through the Yorktown monument is repugnant to the patriotic spirit that animated its founders and an indecent exhibition of incorrigible disloyalty. ———— Now that the city has ample fire protection from the fire hydrants, it is in order to re-locate the steam fire engines that are now massed undor the wooden sheds on upper Farnham street, These fire engines are needed in the suburbs where the fire hydrants are far apart, Haregr's Maoazine for November, coneluding the sixty-third volume, is & number of rare excellence.

A very interesting chapter in the pioneer history of Ohio is contributed by Alfred Mathews, under the itle of “Ohio’s: First Capital,” reterring to Chillicothe. The settiement of Chil- licothe was made by Virginians, a8 the Marietta was by New England- ors. The early history of the settle- ment, which was set on foot by Na- thaniel Massie (afterward governor of the state), is full of curious situations and incidents. The article is illus- maintaining that silver is unpopular. The future mission of sirv;:)r as necessary and coordinate part of the money system of the world is becom- ing more and more assured with every year. Mr. Lavellaye has shown that the entire gold product of the world outside the American mines is not much more than £50,000,000 per an num, or six cents per inhabitant, The United States not only retains all the gold which the American mines yield, but takes from Europe more than the annual product of the rest of the world. How long can the com- mercial nations of Europe stand this? How long before England and Ger- many will be forced to confess that siiver moneyis necessary to them? The American exports have temporarily decreased, and the Banks of England and Germany have materially in- creased the rate of discount; ne theless, the drain of gold from 1lu- rose to this country continues. The rehabitation ot silver as money in all the markets of the world is only re- lief which can be found for the gold famine which is sure to fol- low this course of things, and England and Germany will probably be the first to feel the necessity for such a relief. It is possible that an effort will be made in the next Congress to pass a bill suspending the coinage of silver. It will almost_surely fail. The time has not come when such a measure is necessary to protect the United States from a redundance of silver. So long as there is less than £100,000,000 of legal-tender dilver in the country, and nearly three-quarters of that amount is kept in circulation naturally and without any forcing process, no danger is to bo apprehended from its presence here while it remains unrec- ogoized as money in England, Ger- many, and one ortwo other cotntries.

Silver in Europe and America. Chicago Tribune. Ex-Senator Thurman, who returned from Europe a few days ago, reports that he had reason to believe that the late International Monetary Confer- ence has had the effect it was design- ed to have in bringing the chief na- tions of the worid nearer than ever to the adoption of the double standard. He says that, while the discussion of bimetallism was able on both sides, the arguments in favor of fixing a ra- tio of values were much stronger than those which - opposed this course, and that a very decided change of opinion is noticeable in England, In this re- spect Mr. Thurman's observations agree with those of Mr. Evarts, and there is no doubt that the chances for an early agreement upon a ratio of values between gold and silver and an international recognifion of both metals as legal-tender money are very much better than ever betore, There is one significant, circum- stances about the status of silver in this country which should not be over- looked, Ever since Mr. Sherman surrendered the Treasury portfolio the complaiuts about the unpopularity of the silver dollar have ceased. In Mr. Sherman's time the impression was given out on every possible occasion that silver could not be forced into ci culation, Mr., Sherman, when Sec- rotary of the Treasury, represented that {xe was constantly making hercu- lean efforts to put out silver, but that the American people wouldn't have it. He sought to convey the impression that there was ravenous demand for gold, but that silver was avoided as something dangerous. Mr, Windom has had no such complaints to make, He has not paused to discuss the sil- ver question, and hence it has turnish- ed no complications, The govern- ment vaults are not reported as filling up with silver, and, indeed, are not that were the case, there could be no safer or more substantial guarantee of specie payments. As a matter of fact, there is more silver in circula- tion in portion to the extent of coinage zfi. there is of gold. For the second quarter of the prasent year the United States Treasurer has re- ported that out of §91,000 000 of stand- ard silver over $28,000,000 is in cir- culation in coin and over $39,000,000 in circulation in the shape of certifi- cates, This leaves only $24,000,000 owned by the government, part of which isin coin and part in certifi- cates, Three years ago there was less than $8,000,000 of standard sil- over-crowded with silver; though, if | s many as last year.

One of the coolest pieces of 1mpu- dence in the New York democratic platform is this: ‘““We demand a thorough snd immediate investigation into the star route and other frauds upon the federal treasury, and a vig- ous prosecution, already too long de- layed, of all the participants in these grave crimes.” The demand for an immediate investigation seems to be a little late, in view of the fact that iu- vestigation has already gone far enough to have several men indioted.—N.
