Secretary of War Endicott is quoted

of one man, when we have tamely sub

foolish to make war upon any countty
Until every resort known to diplomacy

the redress of any g.ievance; but it is
fairly well established that two wiongs
do not make a right. Though no one
c ill blame Mr. Endicott for his severe
urraighment of the adininirtration of
which he is a part, yet its blundeis and
deidictions in one ease are not to be
made an excuse for a similar course in
another case.
T. Egcrton Hogg, president of the
Oregon Pacific railroad, and some Chi
cago and Noitl.westein Railway compa
ny officials went to Astoria on the City
of Salem. The Asturian says ' the Chi
cago pud Northwest - n men are doubt
less aware of the existence of a little
station called Sheridan, in tl e southern
pint of Yamhill county, and the peculiar
facilities for i ailroad com mu me ution with
deep wafer it affords.” There is not
much contained in the reniaik to attract
tlm attention if the <"<su.il observer;
but it is lull of deep i-igni'i. a ice. The
Westen terminus oi the Na rot. linage
is at -heridan. it h <s b en r *p.a ted by
engineers and others w Im have t. aveisod
the rout - that from Sheridan to Astoria
via the Nestm-e i and Tillumook country
there is a I’ktural pr.- s, ami as a gent! ■-
man remarked to us not long since “ h
railroad could bo built th ough this
■countiy us easily as from D.ivtou to Dal
ian.” That, is what our neighbor at the
mouth of the Columbia refers Io; and it
is the opinion of many that it w ill not be
many years until we shall see a railroad
running over Illis route.
Tho conviction of several officers of
«lection ut I Cincinnati, who were among
tho perpetrators of tho notorious fraud,
in that city by which the Ohio legisla
ture was nearly capture 1 la t year, will
give much satisfaction to the pc,.; d ■ who
care for lion- st governni ■ t. The imme
diate object if these frauds was to de
feat tho re-eiecti >n of Senator Sherman,
an 1 to secure his seat, for some demo
crat, blit th* control of the Iegislatui--
was also expect--.! to I ■ l.u --ly pro,¡ta
ble to a democratic ring of corruption
ists. Tho scheme was on’y defeated by
the resolute opposition of citiz msof both
pa-ties who united to expose fraud, but
who weie unable to find a single d mo
cratie member in cither l.ianeh of the
legislature, to the disgrace of Unit
partv hu it said, who would in any w ay
aid the defeat of crimes perpetrated foi
the benefit of his patty.
It is a good
thing that some of the criminals have
been convicted, but the greatest «ml
most guilty eiiminals who instigated the
crime have as yet escaped.
l’robably
tho loss of political influence in Ohio
and the loss of reputation everywhere
will be about the only punishment they
will suffer1.

(Oregonian Dispatch.)
• C hicago , Aug. 15.—The following
crop report will appear in this week’s
issue of the Farmer’s Review: “The
rains dining the week ending Salurdav
week were more general throughout the
corn ls-lt than at any previous time since
early in May, and brought a medium
hope to farmers whose corn fields were
burning and withering.
Reports from
correspondents, received during the
week, indicate more thoroughly than
ever before that the total average yield
will he seriously reduced, vast areas
having been blighted beyond any power
of resuscitation. Out of ninety counties
in Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois,
Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Neb,aska,
Kansas and Mis,mi1, from which returns
came during tlm week, only eighteen
predicta full average yield; thirty coun
ties indicate not to exceed one-fourth oi
i crop; twenty-six repoit a promise of
three-fourth of an average crop; while
in ten counties corn promises a yield id
not to exceed five to ten bushels an acre
unless for fodder. Tho most discourag-
i ig reports come from Illinois, Iowa,
Wisconsin and Misscnii, while the most
.‘lie i. a.-i-ig still come from Ohio, Miss
issippi, Nielrgan, and Indiana, .’linne-
soto reports contiuue to indicate a fair
average yield in Edgar, while Jasper,
Dewitt and Morgan report a promise of
three-fouiths of an average yield. In
Bond and McHenry count.es one-fouith
of an averageyield is indicated. Through
out Illinois complaints eon'inue. Pas
tures are completely drying up. Late-
planted pastures are generally a failure.
In Iowa, liuiubol.lt county is tho only
one yielding full average. Estimating
by counties reported this week the yield
for tho state at la:go will not exceed .50
to 6 I per cent, of an average. The crop
in D.-catur end Carrol counties is set
down us a failure.
Wheat is threshing
very unevenly, but the grain is gaining
well. The yield ranges from eight to
twenty bushels. Threshing reports
from Dakota show a yield of from five to
eighteen bui'hels. The yield of the ter
ritory will fall con iderab'y short of any
former yearly average.
