Tt rsRRfti for a moment be supposed that the failure was dne to a feeling that John Brown did not do a great work and that he does not deserve a monnment. Bansack history from the dajrs of Adam to the present time and the name of a braver, trner man can- not be found. It was his conviction that slavery was the moet accursed In- stltatlon that •vercaat lta baleful In- fine we over the world. Especially pained and horrified was he at its over­ whelming power In the United States. That a people who professed to be christians and to be free should submit to Its hideous presence, seemed to him an exhibition of hypocrisy that must have bftmght the blush of shame to the face ef Hatan himself. He believed what he thought. Knowing that only bc!!f f "u'vii liiwinciw liwil Til aettoa Is the belief holy In the sight of God, he sonflit to strike the Instltn- MoaaaftaC extatenee and to reclaim mew and wwwi that were rushing to petition. Ills enemies aay that he failed; they call him a faatMei -they denounce him as a traitor; they declare that he de­ served to be hung. Did he fail? Lei the ttmr million* of emancipated slaves arswer. Was he a fanatic? Would •hat t ie world was 4lled with snch fanatics. Tlien would Injustice be abolished. Was he a traftrir? Then w*i« Oeorge Washington and Thomas Jefferson traitors.

They failed to recognize the fact that the negro had a soul to save, a right to Ma own body. . They made It a white man's" government. John Brown sought to make It all metfs government. For it he was murdered; murdered as clearly as If lie had been lynched by highwaymen. No man ever had a better dalm to a womfment. He represented the prin­ ciple of universal liberty. . He gave all he had to secure Its recognition, the best he had--his life. If he Is not a hem there are no heroes. If he was wH a martyr, there are no martyrs. A monument to such a man Is. of course a feeble recognition of hit virtues and hi* work.

An Independent Republican movement of the character of the present one Is al­ together an experiment and nobody can say what success It will meet with. The campaign has net fairly begun and will not tor a fortnight. The reg­ ular committer has a list of 500 speak­ ers from the country at large pledged to respopd to any call, but It Is noted B that the pledge was made before the Independent movement hegaq, Bome of the speakers, notably Gen, Hawley, have withdrawn their promise. This' committee will flood the State with campaign literature and will endeavor fo make the tariff the chief issue/ Senator Cameron's influence with the administration «nd with lending Re- t uhllcans throughout the country will be used to strengthen the campaign of the regulars. The Independent com. mlttee on the other hand, will not call upon speakers outside of the State. There will be considerable speed)- makliig by home talent and ttie com- iBurti hf the press of the esuittrv In fa­ vor «>f civil service reform will be in. sued In paiftphlet fag>m.

The estimates or the wheatt yield liaVF tfc^n constantly on the "ris­ ing scale for the past six weeks. Oats and barley are immense crops, and the hay yield 1« largely In Excess or the average, and yet the idea Is thare must be a deficiency somewhere. Corn 1has been pretty generally charged With the deficiency, hut as far north as the latitude of Cincinnati and St. liOuis. corn caiv meet a fair frost with­ out Injury. It fs rapidly maturing horth of the points mentioned. A good September will put it beyond frost in nearly every place, and the '.tas| lingering fear of scarcity is gone. The short crop cry last yeir was so lonir. loud and persistent that Itssocind has not ceased In the ears of the peo­ ple to-day. The farmers' barns are jfnll, running over, and in the field he has stacked Ills surplus wheat and hay. and yet he hears f-ometlilng which sounds like "short crops." Good man. It is nothing alarming; it is only the echo of last year's cry'of'scarcity. ^ The speculator--the gambler In JJwheat. corn and oats--Is mainly re­ sponsible for the alarm in reference to fchort crops laist yenr. There was less ^raised than usual of wheat andfeorn, in ^881, but the shortage did not creatp iiny real scarcity--no famine stared the' people In the face. Old wliSnt left the granaries speedily when it wae seen what an enormous crop tho reaper w«js engaged in cutting in June and July; and where did the corn come from that has, been recently sacking a market? Not from this year's fields, for the com of this summer's gro^ng will not he marketed to any extent, except a ilttl« in the Southern States, until 1883. and In the spring and sum­ mer of that year. Corn will keep coming to market as the new crop ripens. Farmers find they have a little^ left, but they would not have found this out yet. if frost before the first of $ep»ember had been severe in what 1* known as the great corn belt. Warm* genial weather this month will open many Western corn cribs. Speculators are at their wits ends; they?have been craay over short crops, and now every­ thing tends to make ^prices uncertain In the future.* First, the increase in th« yield of wheat above what * was generally anticipated a few weeks ago; second, the improved crop'prospects in Great Britain for jvheat; third, the prospect that the corn crop may turn out to be a largo one if the frost does not damage it. and on the 'otlmr hand that it may even yet be a very short crop if the frosts come early. v Prices fof wheat and com tended downward toward the cloee of last week. Corntwas even In a panic, and holders begin to think that the proph­ ecy of an eastern writer some weeks ago that "we are to have one of the largest corn crops ever raised," may be "founded on fact,'* if not.quite true to t!ss "I'tvsr, It r.o-v too raxo for the corn bulls to leave, the field entire­ ly unscathed, or as a writer In a com­ mercial journal states it: "It is too late to get out whole. a3 everybody is tumbling over every other body to get out just as they were climbing^ over each other to get In a year ago, 'What fools these mortals be' truly, and who more foolish than these 'great operators.' who have lost and will lose many a hard year's earnings before they get this old short crop craze all knocked out of their heads, as their dollars are being knocked out of their pocket liookft. The other markets all sympathise with corn. 'As goes corn, so goes liog' Is likely now to find verlfl. cation."

In certain contingencies it is known that Sena­ tor Davis and Logan willkjiboth lend him their influences.

"It Is the figure of a womaij, about a foot high and well proportioned, molded Into almost perfect forru, out of pure, blaek dirt. The skirt and basque of the dress are clearly defined, with buttons and other trimmings. The hat is of a stylish make, and can be removed from the head.

The latesflnformation from Japan is that the paper money is now at a discount of seventy per cent: It has fiepreciat- rnl in value almost from the start, though subject to the quick fluctuations which invest this unstable curreucy with one of its chief charms to a specu­ lative people. For a time the farmers In the interior preferred the new paper money to silver, and as a result there has been much suffering among them. No one kirows the amount in circula­ tion, and the country is suffering sad­ ly froifa this worthless substi tute for monev.
