THE GROWING CROPS.
Report OF the Department or Agri.
culture-Grain Good, Potatoes Av.
erage, Grass Miadling, Apples


WASHINGTON, July 24.-The condition
of the cotton, wheat, and corn crops for
July, as aseertained at the Department
Of Agriculture, has been published in
advance Of the printed report. 1t ap-
pears from the latter, which has just
been published, the indications are that
the crop of potatoes will be full aver
age. 1t has had to contend with the
drought and late frosts in many Of the
States devoted to its culture, with grass.
hoppers in some Of the Eastern States,
and with the Colorado bug in nearly all
Of the Western States, but to offset
these unfavorable conditions the season
as whole has been favorable. There
is an increase in the aggregate average
the rot is not reported, and the farmers
knowing the perils to which the crop
was exposed have shown unusual dill
gence in caring for it. The season has
been uniavorable for the grass, owing
mainly to the prevalence OF droughts.
The drought Of last season has also had
an unlavorable effect on meadows and
pastures. There will be a short hay
crop.
10 Maine, where hay is leading staple
the yield will not exceed two-thlrds OF
an average crop. nall the New Eng
land and Middle States the condition Of
clover, timothy and pastures, is reported
below the average. In most Of the
Southern and Western States and in
Oregon, the pastures are above the aver
age and the condition OF clover and
timothy where grown, is usually good.
In California clover and timothy have
had a fine growth, while pastures are in
relatively low condition. In sections
where pastures and meadows have par
italy failed, it is not yet too late to sup
plement them with corn as a soillng
crop. Frosts in April and May, follow
ing the remarkably early opening Of
spring, greatly lessened the prospect OF
a good crop ofapples, A shtrt crop is
indicated in all the States where they
are most largely grown, probably three
lourths OF an average. Peaches have
escaped with less damage, and in the
States where special attention is given
to the culture the yield will be unusu-
ally large The report makes no men.

Another Martyr.

An Albany paper says: "A North
Adams man named Hawley, who was
school teacher is Mississippi, has just
returned home and tells fearful story
Of persecution at the hands Of Ku.
Klux. He says that, Notwithstanding
the fact that he was lying too low with
fever, he was called up at night and or.
dered to leave the State instantly. He
was not even permitted to take his trunk
with him" That's always the way
with them. Wheneyera o rpet.bagger
accidentally learns that the tracks
around the hen roost exactly fits his.
and that they are in search OF him, he
hurries away to the North and reports
that the Ku.Klux had ordered him 10
leave sick bed and quit the State at
once, not even permitting him TO take
his trunk with him. Ten chances TO
one the North Adams man, like the rest
Of them, lad no trunk to take with him.

VERMONT MAN KILLED BY THE
KUKLUX In FLORIDA.

On Friday morning, says the Rutland,
Vt. Herald, of April 10th, it was our
painful duty to announce the assassination
of our friend John @. Dickinson by the
Kuklux Klan, at Mariana, Florida, on
Monday last On Saturday another tele-
gram was received from N. j. Purman,
giving more definite particulars in refer
enee to the sad event. The dispatch
read as follows:
TALLAHASSEE, Fla, April 7th,
John Q. Dickinson is dead. He was
instantly killed by an assassin. He fell
near his house, while returning from his
office at 8 o'clock. His body will receive
public funeral in Jacksonville, Florida,
on Tuesday next N. j. PURMAN.
A telegram was sent on Sunday morn
ing to have the remains forwarded to his
father at Benson His father, Isaac Dick
inson, and his mother are both living at
Benson, and are greatly weighed down by
this heavy bereavement which takes from
them much beloved son, and they desire
that his body shall rest with his kindred
among his native hills.
D.elinson's life has been threatened
before, and he would have undoubtedly
been made victim of Southern hatred
some two years since, but for illness. One
evening, Dickinson, DR.. Finlayson and
Purman had an engagement to attend the
theater together. Dickinson was taken
suddenly i'll, and was unable to accompany
them. They started without him, and
before reaching the theater Dr. Finlayson
was shot dead upon the street. Purman
was taken the next day to the boundary
line of the county, and told to leave and
never enter the county again. Both were
respectable citizens, enterprising gentle
men, and no ofense was alleged but that
they were Republicans. No attempt was
made to ferret out or punish the wretch
that committed the dastardly outrage. At
the time, Dickinson wrote for the Herald
very feeling tribute to the memory of his
friend, and a vivid description of his tragic
death, and in condemnation of these wan
ton outrages upon inoffensive citizens for
political opinion. About the same time,
John @. Dickinson wrote the following
words which, now he has fallen to fll
grave for opinions sake, are sacred
legacy, and should be inscribed in endur-
ing letters on his tombstone:
81 wish to put on record the fact that my
political action in this State has been up
right and honorable, and do not regret
a single step that | have taken, and that
while many citizens of this county have
bitter political hate for me, believe
and know that not one of them en-
tertains personal dislike OF want
of respect for me, and | have no ambition
to fill a more honorable grave than that of
a man who falls for the sake Of opinion or
conduct that he knows is right, even
though everybody else thinks it wrong"
This is the crowning act of infamy of
this nefarious gang. Dickinson was the last
leading Republican in county in which
sixty Republicans have been killed in two
years, for no other offense than being a
Republican and an Office holder.

LOCAL ELEcTIoNs.-It may be deemed
somewhat signif, ant that in the Spring
elections in California the Republicans
have been almost uniformly successful. In
San Jose, Marysville, Stockton, Oakland,
Suisun, Placerville, Grass Valley, Wood
land, Sacramento and in nearly every city
or town in which an election has been
held lately the Republican candidates, or
majority of them have been chosen Why
is this? Why have they won in Grass

have been Democratic strongholds? Be-

was nothing to divide them Because they
made acceptable nominations and had no
Senatorial question to separate, or demago-
