Drouth i'm Pennsylvania.

A Philadelphia dispatch of the 23d
says: a
Not a drop of rain has fallen here
since the 4th of August, the night of
the great whiskey fire, nor has any
fallen in the interior except a short
thunder storm ON Saturday last about
80 miles up the Schuylkill. ALI re-
ports agree as to the great damage
done the corn in this state from the
drouth. a special meeting of the
city council was held to-day to
consider the water famine and $685.
900 was appropriated for the destitute
families of the canal boatmen on
land.
Power has been given to the chief
engineer to take any measures he
deem proper to raise water into the ba-
sins at Paramount, and experiments
were made with steam engines this p.
m. The hill at Paramount is 96 feet
high and it is doubtful whether the
hose will stand the pressure. The
result has not been announced.

Crops Abroad

The wheat harvest throughout
will be ended in q few days. Since
the middle of June tie weather has
been exceedingly favorable for the
wheat crop. 1t was thought in the
latter part of May that the harvest
could not be an early one and that
the crop could not be large, hut on
the Goth of July samples of the grain
were exhibited in London of average
quality, and on the 31st of that
month it was well known that the
harvest would be q early rather
than late. and that the crop would
be good one on all well-farmed and
properly drained lands. There were
some reports of blight, and some ru.
mors of rust, but these were only To-
cal mishaps, and the general indica-
tons were all favorable. The extent
of land under wheat this year is
about the same as in 1868, and the
prospect of an early, good and extern
sive harvest had already caused de-
cline in prices.
The weather i'm the north of Eu-
rope has recently been unfavOrable
for the crops. In Italy and Algeria
the harvest is over, and the yield has
been abundant. Spain, which last
year had to import wheat has this
year been blessed with q most prolific
harvest, and there will be a surplus
for expectation. In Hungary the
quality of the grain is very fine,
though some doubts are expressed as
to the quantity. In the greater part
of Germany the crops are tolerably
good. In the south of Russia the
yield of wheat bids fair to be excel
lent. In the south of France the
harvest is good. The general tend
ency of prices for breadstuffs all over
Central and Southern Europe is lov .
er. On the whole our farmers can
scarcely expect there will be a very
large foreign demand this year for
wheat.-N. Y. World.

An exchange has the following in
telligenee:
Tx Marvel editor OF Hearth and
Home, lately made some structures
upon the management of the New
York and New Haven railroad, ,
whereupon the Superintendent has
forbidden the sale of the paper in the
stations of the road.
What does the Superintendent ex-
pect to accomplish by this silly piece
of strategy. He is only subjecting
his administration to still greater ex-
posture. Corporations may attempt
to check the independence of the
press buts like Banquo's ghost it
won't go down. Bold outspoken
journalism is foremost among the
evidences of progress of the present
age. Newspaper men are demons
trating the fact that they propose to
run their own Machine regardless of
so long as newspapers
and independent men to run them,
exist. Cortuptions, intrigues and
deviltry will be exposed. Monied
when i'm violation of
Justice should remember this fact
and govern themselves accordingly.

Editorial Convention.

BY q slip from Gov. Cue President
of the Iowa Press Association we are
informed that the next meeting of
the Association will be held at Keo-
kuk commencing on the 18th day of
September. AS the State Fair will
be in progress at the same time and
place, the call amounts to merely an
invitation to the editorial fraternity
of Iowa to become sort of ornament
al appendage to the State Fair. 1t is
not to be expected that the fraternity,
liberated for week from the tread
mill and surrounded by all the sights
and sounds and enjoyable adiuncts of
the Fair will settle down seriously to
business, or to such business rs the
call imports. We do not believe that
any body does expect it, or that, the
press gang will go to Keokuk with
any other anticipations than to have
general good time and to crowd as
much enjoyment into their limited
holiday as possible.-Buchdnan Co.
Bulletin.
Bro, Toman speaks from past ex-
perience. The last editorial Conven-
ton called on a similar occasion is
evidence sufficient to settle the bust
ness part of the programme. When
all the other States around US are
having their excursions and business
Conventions it occurs to us that the
Iowa Press could do better than be
wedged into the State Fair proceed
ings for a mere hand shaking. OF
course no member will go to the Con-
vention as it is now called with any
thought of bushes. For all the good
that will lie accomplished, aside from
q social meeting of the fraternity,
the call might as we'll have been an
order declaring an editorial amnesty
from work during Fair week. AS to
it's being an ornamental appendage to
the State Fair, Toman, we object,
but the call having been issued if any
one has anything he desires to bring
before the meeting let him make it
known. Well take peaches and
cream i'm ours,

a Just ComIDlilncnt.

J. NJ. Dixon, in his "Valley and
Shadow" pays high compliment
to Judge Wright, of Des Moines.-
AS he is just now the leading candi-
date for the office of U. S. Senator,
and as the estimation of Mr.. Dixon
SO strictly accords with the reputa-
ton of Judge Wright throughout
the State, it has an unusual signifi-
canoe at this time. We quote par
agraph:
at is my opinion that he never
sought political favors, or struggled
for nomination. He has shown an
exemplary devotion to principle, and
has always been active i'm the cause
Of his country. He has been a hard
working and industrious man, fulfill
ing all of his duties cOnscientiously,
esteeming integrity above all fame,
and desiring to be known as an up
right Judge, rather than an able one.
though his ability is equal to his in
dustry. He has not accumulated
property, and seems to prefer giving
10 boarding; is strong of n1rpose
and great of heart-a just Judge md
q faithful, conscientious cillze., ~
Such a man the people of Iowa
will he proud to honor with seat in
The Legislative halls of the natiou.

The planting of trees is encouraged
in Iowa, by o law which. provides
that the planter of forest trees is, for
every acre, released from taxation for
ten years on one hundred dollars
valuation; and for each acre of fruit
trees planted from taxation of fifty
dollars valuation for five years. The
same provisions as to fruit trees are
applied to the planting of shade trees
and hedges along the highways.
