What in the aetual eonilitiou of the United State treasury! Mow much cash, nvailiililu for imme diate life, has the secretary of ihe tieiisiiry at his eommandt These question.- would seem to he simple and easy enough to answer, hut what knowledge does the public gain when the daily treasury lull anee sheet gives 'the surplus of available cash as between eleven and twelve millions; the direetor of the mint gives it as S'JoS.OOO, 000, and Secretary Foster as 70, 000,000. Which, if either, is right f Certainly all cannot be. Mr. Foster very "sensibly says that he believes it is wise to iliseuss the financial aflat rs of the govern ment with the public, anil most people will agree with him; but a solid foundation is necessary in order to discuss the matter under standingly, and this foundation cannot be" had until the eople are given an authoritative statement concerning the present condition of the treasury. Let a plain state ment be prepared of the seven hundred and odd millions of dollais that are known to be in the tieasury, showing just which are trust funds and which the money owned o ifright by the government, and lie given out in place of the present complicated statement that nobody outside of the treasury department seems to understand at all and which is interpreted differently inside that building. It is believed that the friends of Mr. Harrison have succeeded in getting Mr. 1'lnino to promise that he will write n letter which will make it iuiosible for his name to be lon'ger considered as a presidential possibility, and which will throw the entire liluiuc 'lu ll uence to Mr. Harrison. Mrs. lilaine has been a valuable ally to the Harrison forces, us she is most bitterly oponl to her husband overgoing through another cam paign at the. head of his party's ticket, believing that the worry would certainly kill him. Mr liluino, if one" may believe his close jxirsonal friends, needed very little persuasion as far as the use of his own name is concerned, as he had long ago reached the con never bo elusion that he would president, and made up his mind novel again to be a candidate. The llarrUou boom has received an unexpected accession in the sup jxirl of Senator (vuuy and Mr. Clarkson, who have been consid ered as being optosed to the reiiouiiuation of Mr. Harrison, ami it is understood here to mean that there will be no organized opvo aitiou to him. -.Senator Hlair will not go to China as United States minister, for the- very plain reason that the itmperor of" China has notified the department of state that he does 1 . , . i in..:.. not want mm to come. .nr. man will he fcont elsewhere, probably to .Ijiimii, The report of the investigation made by U.

Considerable interest in the speakership light was urou-ed this voek by the presence here of Mr. McMillan aid several of his lieu tenants in conference. None of the gentlemen would say what they came for, but it wag evident that they thought it ini'wrtaiit. The sinking of one of the iron clad war vessels of the insurgents at Chili by a torpedo from ono of ilalinaeeda's giiniKHits, has created great interest in naval circles regarding the ellective use oi mo torpedo. A tittle gunboat loaded with a torpedo, can annihilate the houvicst iron clads, and if Italy is anxious to send over her mam moth terrors of the sea, a torpedo can demolish such a craft in short order. The lug water forts cost a gcKsl deal of money, but are not vulnerable against the vicious tor pedo from a small vessel. - Dalles. Chronicle. Hoports come in from Kansas that the wheat prospects in that state are very discouraging. In soui" counties the Hossion tly has made its appearance and in others a small bug has begun to jirey on the young growth, and in still other comities the fall wheat is turning yellow from some un known cause, which is siipwsed to be an insect altogether unknown to the agricultural department. In the southern and eUreiue west ern portion of the state thu drouth is being seriously felt, hi the whole, the present outlook is that Kansas will not produce over half a crop of vi heat this year. t'KlVATK WOKDS FOR WOMEN.

Soon after the elixo of the civil war an agent was sent by President Johnson into the Southern states to investigate and reort upon the con dition of the farmer there. This resulted in tlie orgitntfiilion of lire Patrons of Huslnintlry, commonly called the grunge. It was formed by seven jH'rsmns, all but one of whom were employed in different department of tfie government. The object was to org.inixe the farmers throughout the country for ptirH-e of mutual protection against the encroachment of organ iod capital. The organisation was looked iikiii with some suspicion by the farmers of the South, hut ncver tholcjw it grew with rapidity throughout the whole country, ami within seven years nuinltertd a membership of at least half a mil lion. It lackiMl discipline, however, and itn inciiiltorfthip was not con fined to the MHiple whom it was intended to lieuefit. The grange was reorganised at a mil iunal meet ing, held in St. Iuis in 1ST I; but from that time Iwgan to decline, ami by the end of the centeiminl year the organization had passwl practically out of notice. The farmers' alliance was a child of the grange. It first ap ieariil in Texa vvilh the direct object of ophsing the spoliation of the public lauds in that slate. A state organisation to deal with public allairs generally, was ef fected about l-sT'.i. Kverything of a partisan nature was to 1' ex cluded from this organisation.

Thin col ony was organised according to the theory advanced by Mr. Kellaniy, and the world was asked to gaze iiHiii it as a practical example of the blessings to le secured by en forcing the views of that peculiar philosopher. Their faith was beau tiful, but when they came to apply it they encountered dilliciiltics which they had not anticipated. They found to their dismay and uior'titicutioii, that they haif mis calculated their capacity for unsel fishness, and their jsiwer to adjust refractory conditions to the demands of their oxtcriniunt.
