New York, Atlanta and Athens are all in the throes o( a water famine. The Democrat, claim the Assembly in New York, unless, they say, “trickery and unfairness prevail." The moral tone of Pennsylvania lie publicans aeema to be decidedly of gear. Quay, Delomater & Co , are factors in this equation. Gov, Hill has decided to serve out tils term as Governor of New York. This Is better than allowing a crank to slip into bis shoes. A “tempest in a teapot” is the way the papers speak of the Chlllsn muddle. Affairs have simplified so far that it means a removal of Egan. Tub papers are strenuouslyadvocaUng the recall of Egan on account of his pe culiarly offensive and indefensible con duct. But of such is the G. O. P. Ex-President Haves denies the re port that ha raises chickens. Possibly he has also only a hazy recollection of the time he stole the Executive chair. New York should afford a object- lesson for Mr. Harrison. It shows that Platt will prove a “little old man of the sea” to him unless ho unloads himself of this hunk of corruption. Haukisox thinks the chief end of man Is to secure a renooiination to office. Wo are very much afraid, however, that Mr. Harrison will be affiioted with chill- Blaines before the dawn of ’02. LaGrippk has invaded Australia. Australia has swapped us her “blanket- suffrage” for LaGrlppe. Between rab bits and LaGrlppe she seems In a bad row for stumps. With the death of Don Piatt, one of America’s brightest men passed away. He gave great pleasure to many millions of people while he lived, if he made no marked impress on the times, and many will remember him kindly. Tub people are thoroughly disgusted with the tawdry sentimentality In dulged in by Gen. Palmer about the display of Confederate flags at the Grady memorial exercises. Such non sense deserves no space in the thoughts of Intelligent men. Thb New York World has compiled figures showing that in Iowa Democratic majorities have varied, while In Massa chusetts there has been a constant aud almost Incredible gain for the Democrats This Is a straw whloh shows how the wind blows in 1802.

It Is better to abandon the use of history than to study one that anathematises the South as a hot bed of rebellion and the home of traitor*. Ohio democrats ascribe thelrdefeat to the jealousy of Campbell on the part of New York party leaden. Consequently they ere very bitter about It. They claim that with any sort of decently earnest support from the great resource* of the east they could easily bars won in the late oontest Nor does that sound unreasonable.

Tlie report of Commissioner Husk shows that the agricultural interests of this country are iu a very satisfactory condition. If we compare this report with the famine despatches daily re ceived from Eastern Europe we find our selves face to face with a contrast which is at once startling and pathetic. The Commissioner very properly con gratulates the country on tne alluring prospect which the American farmers enjoy. Perhaps his estimate of In creased crop values may need verifica tion, since l>e declares that the agricul tural products Id 1801 are worth in the market about seven hundred millions over aud above he same products in 1800, but It is evident that the farmer has good reason for jubilation. The corn and wheat crops of tho west have been ns abundant as could be de sired. Our four million farmers, more or less, riohly deserve their good for tune. They have had singularly bad luck for some time past. What with drenching rains and parching droughts, diversified with cyclones aud numerous forma of cattle disease, they hare had reason for eomplaint. But it’s a long lane that has no turning, and they hare at last had a splendid year. Their field* have smiled with plenty and na ture has rewarded them for the long period of tribulation. They will now be able to pay off the mortgages whloh have handicapped them, aud to buy new stock and to patch up the broken fences and leaky barns and perhaps lay aside a penny also for rainy weather. Prosperi ty has beamed on them, and they have a right to ibdulge in high glee. The Contmissiouer tells us that his de partment lias been measurably success ful iu introducing Indian corn and Its products among Europeans, Heretofore the poorer classes on the other side have depended mainly on wheat for their ta bles. Wheat made into various kinds of food lias been the staple of the peasant ry. It is the Russian wheat erop which failed and caused the famine from which both the Muscovite and the German have suffered. If they can be brought to rel ish corn meal a part at least of the dan ger from hunger will be averted in the future. A double crop, wheat and corn,, is not likely to fall at the same time. At any rate there will always be an abun dant supply of one or ihe other on our side of the water. In contrast with this abundance is the picture of unalloyed and desperate dan ger iu the East—a calamity of suoh vast proportions that the Czar abandons a proposed festival In fit. Petersburg. Even the court becomes grave and the rloh are contributing to furnish starva tion with a crust of bread. If only half of what is told Is true the spectacle Is pitiable, aud If the whole of It is true the condition of tuese hungry folk is simply heartrending. Starving men we are told, have formed themselves Into bands and are raiding any seetion whloh promisee plunder. Where there is no bread, the people are always in a state of anarchy. Law aud order are despised, and brain, heart and conscience give way beiore the demands of the stomach Little holdings are taken for debt and numberless families are thrown on the highway. There la one story, just rej celved, of a wretched woman who ap plied for help to a well to do neighbor, and when refused she deliberately killed her three children aud then completed Vie tragedy by hanging herself. These are the two pictures which appeal to Our Imagination—it Is heaven here and Hell there. Western corn sad wheat, however, are on their way to our soaboard In enormous quantities. Our surplus Is quite enough to supply the European market.—New Y'ork Herald BISHOP IN DOUBT ABOUT IT. Betiilkiikh, Pa., November 12.—Rev. I)r. C. Hemlock Nelson who -a* last night elected blthop of the Episcopal dloe.ee of Georgia, arid to-night In reply to a question, that he did not know whether hs would accept or not It seoms to The Times-IIecohdeb that it would be wise for the conven tion to ascertain certainly the disposition of the minister under consideration to ward the acceptance or non-acceptance of the bishopric before any deelsire notion Is taken. By those In a position to know it Is not believed that the above statement has a shadow of a foundation. It has become rather a complicated cler ical muddle and It Is to be hoped that thla call will find favor In the eyes of His Reverence. If “try, try again” hat not lost Its msglcal properties the Epis copal diocese will yet secure a bishop. The New York World says: “While there may be a question of the good taste of those who continue to car ry the emblem of the loet cause, there Is much contempt to be felt and expressed for some of their critics. There are tboee who assert that the carrying of the Confederate Hag Is the expression of a disloyal spirit. This is not the truth. The old Confederate flags awaken mem oriea, but no disloyalty. The men who march under them In these tatter days are not enemies of the Union, and he who accuses them of disloyalty is an un patriotic citizen. The flag of our once enemies and now brothers might better be folded op and put away, Dut while they who display It may show bad taste, they do not necessarily show had blood. Thera an no more patriotlo citizens in the country to day nor any who would fight quicker or harder for the stars and stripes than the ex-aoldlers of the Con federacy.” So long as the Southern peo ple expect nobody else to pay homage to their old flag and aak only to be let aloes In their own rarerenoe for It, they can - and they cannot be said THE LOTTERY.

In the name of the virtue and Intelli gence of the State of Louisiana there should be an irresistible uprising against tills iniquitous gambling scheme. New York should be sustained and ap plauded Id her aetlon, and her example should be followed by other States. The interests of religion aud morality demand the abolition of this lottery gambling machine and It is to be hoped that the lease of twenty-five years will be denied them, now and forever.
