T. • Entered In the post-ofnce, at Hammond, N. Y., as second-olass mall matter. THURSDAY, JULY id, 1886. The hop crop throughout New Tork state is a sad failure. Those who were fortunate enough to keep their last year's crop will make, a handsome profit. Ogdensburg and Watertown editors are just now out-doing themselves in endeav- oring to prove that \each city is in greater need of the proposed new lunatic asylum than the other. Keep on gentlemen; you are oh the fair way to convince the author- ities of the necessity of institutions of this kind for both places. Genial old Uncle Sam is at present un- der a cloud. He is .charged with putting only 75 cents' worth of bullion silver into his Bland dollar and pocketing the re- maining 25 cents. This is scarcely creditable to Uncle Sam; still, there are extenuating circumstances. The old man is evidently influenced by his surroundings and considers that, in these days of \using official positions for personal gains,\ he had got to look sharp or he would get left. The above-board simplicity of the sceme, however, is, commendable. The successful trip of G. D. Graham through the rapids at Niagara Palls in a barrel has brought out a number of asr pirants for similar notoriety. On Friday last, Stephen Brodie, a pro- fessional swimmer, Jumped from the Brooklyn Bridge and esc aped uninjured. Since that time two other young men have attempted the same jump but were pre- vented by the police. It will be remembered,- that, a man named Odium, who claimed to have come from St. Lawrence Co., was killed in at- tempting the feat a year or two since. AN AGE OF PBOGBESS. This, is a wonderful age of progress and achievement. Ingenuity, with its un- limited resources, in fast conquering the world. The most stupendous difficulties vanish at its magic touch, like snow be- fore the rising sun. The giant forces of nature, that convulse continents in earth- quake and feed a perpetual Mount Vesuv- ius and electrify the rerial regions with the lightning flash, are quietly harnessed dowu by the fingers of ingenuity and playfully perform the work \assigned to them. In every department, where physical ef- fort is required, ingenuity has made it easy. The self-binding reaper has taken the place of the old fashioned cradle in the hands of th.e farmer. Railroads are being built over trackless deserts and through mountain passes and' aver yawn- ing chasms, that would have been regard- ed as impossibilities by the best informed engineers, a quarter of a century ago, The facilities tor locomotion are such that the most distant parts of the world are made accessible by ft forty days' journey, Telegraphy is being outdone by the tele- phone; people wheel 'round the world on byciclcs; jump oft the Brooklyn bridge for exercise and go over Niagara Falls in barrels for fun! \What a wonderfully j.d )y—progressive—ingenious—don't care- go as you please age we live in! >- : •Gov. We*t, of Utah, is disappointing the •Mormons, Great things were expected of him, inasmuch as he was- appointed in place of a Governor who was rigidly severe upon the practices of these Latter Day Saints. The recent utterances of the new Gov- ernor are casting dismay among their ranks. From present appearances, the Mormon church, with its saintly practices, must go. NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS. Those who take tho ADVERTISER will please bear in mind that our terms nro STRICTLY IN ADVANCE. As there are a good many who have not paid their subscriptions, we will state for their information that those who pay be fore August 1st, will be charged only jsl;00. Those subscriptions not paid be- fore that date will be charged $1.25. This is a universal newspaper rule and is neces- sary in order to conduct the business suc- cessfully. Our patrons will see the rea- sonableness of it. M. B. Murphy, Deputy U. S. marshal, of Ogdensburg, defends himself through the Journal, against the charges of irregu- larities,, preferred by the World and Sun. Mr. Murphy writes very plausibly and, maintains a bold front. He admits, how- ever, the truth of the charge that he put in claims for the mileage fees of parties who came to Ogdensburg to answer for delin- quincies, without his having to go after them , but chums that he had a perfect right to do so and that his predecessors- did the same. If Mr. Murphy can quote precedent in the matter he is all right. It takes some time to thoroughly institute \reform.\ JSTBADITIOH. A new extradition treaty With England and her colonies is about to be consum- mated. Its provisions are as follows: \I. Manslaughter, 3'. Burglary, 3. Em- bezzlement or larceny of the value of $50'; and upwards, 4. Malicious injuries to property whereby the life of any person shall be endangered, if such injuries con- stitute a crime according to the laws of both high contracting parties.\ It will be noticed that offences of a po- litical nature are not included in the above draft. It does cover, however, the cases of bank employees and others, placed in positions of trust, who violate their honor for what money they can cairy away with them. The announcement of this treaty will no doubt create some uneasiness in certain quarters, but, us aliens of this stamp are hot likely to invest heavily in real estate, they will be able to make good their es- cape to some other exile before the new law comes into operation. Although this treaty may be of little benefit in bringing to the bar of justice defaulters of the past, it will certainly exercise a healthy influence : ih preventing others Ironi following in their foot steps. ONLY TWO GENTS! On Friday last the Scott-Miller Oleo- margarine bill passed the U. S. Senate, but with the tax reduced from 5 to 2 cents per- pound. This simply legalizes the manufacture of bogus butter by placing on it what is only a nominal tax. The oleo product can be manufactured and placed upon the market'fov8 cents per- pound. The two cent tax makes the cost of each pound only 10 cents. There is also an annual tax of $500 im- posed upon, the manufacturer, and an an- nual: tax of \$250 upon the wholesale dealer and #100 upon the retail dealer. Dealers are also required to have the words \dealer in imitation butter\ posted over the entrance of their stores. Dealers who neglect this provision render them- selves liable to a fine of \not less than $1,000 and not more than §5,00Q\ with imprisonment for a term of not less than six months and not more than two years. Violation of the law is also attended with forfeiture of license. Although this bill comes far short of what the farmers have a right to expect, it Will do some good, inasmuch as it will compel dealers in bogus butter, hereafter, to sell it for what it is. More anon. The discovery of a rich vein of tin in Dakota is reported. If it turns out to be an actual fact, and the deposit anything like as abundant as the despatches indi- cate, the discovery will be a source of wealth to the country that cannot, well be overestimated. Until further corroborated, however, the glowing descriptions of Dakota's tin may be token with a grain of sand. Not that the discovery of tin in Dakota, or elsewhere, is iiecessarily an impossibility; but it is just possible that the Texan, who reported showers of frogs, and cyclones carrying railway trains over mountains, may have been \prospecting\ in Da- kota. The Toronto Olvhe proposes some more reasonable arrangement in regard to Wrecking between the United States and Canada. As matters stand the Canadians insist upon doing all the wrecking in Canadian waters; American vessels can hardly offer assistance in case of disaster. •The Canadians regulate this matter largely themeslves by local laws. As :he G'lvlie says, the present system promotes loss of Me and waste of property on the lakes; It favors some treaty arrangement in re- tard' to the matter which will put an\ end, to the present bad condition of things.
