The democrat. [volume] (Weston, W. Va.) 1868-1874, 1871-04-10

A CALIFORNIA paper says it is deeply
indebted to Congressman for n copy
of his great speech against the Thanking
privilege, which, as he justly observes,
entails an expense of millions of dollars
annually upon the people to crafty the
vanity or advance the personal interests
of garrulous members Of Congress " In
a private note" adds the journalist,
1.-The honorable Senator Informs us that
he has franked ten thousand copies Of
this document to his constituents, and
he cannot entertain doubt that it will
be the means of his triumphant re-elec-
ton. He may count upon us; we pledge
him our enthusiastic indifference.

DOMINICAN MELoDY.-Some canoes
filed With people came out to the vessel
while we lay in the bay, says a cores
pondent. The occupants were singing a
song in what appeared to me unintelli-
gible iargon; but, interpreted, it ran
thus
"suake bake de hoe-cake;
Set de frog to watch 1t;
Frog fell asleep;
lizard come and cotch IT,
Bring back the hoe.cake, ye lons.tAiled lizard"
The first four lines were sang by the
helmsman alone, and the last line is the
full chorus.

THE CROPS.

From many of the parishes
they say" that the entire crop
Of staple products will fall very
far short of last years, and con-
siderably under the moderate
estimate for this year. In many
places very little sugar win be made,
and indeed from several plantations
we ht ar that there is fear that there
will be no grinding at all. The corn
crop will be much below that of
last year, while cotton is hardly ex-
pected to exceed, two thirds Of the
crops of1S7O. A variety of causes
have unfortunately been coincident
in the production Of this unfortunate
state of affairs /; and a CAREFUL study
OF them is absolutely necessary to
prevent the recurrence OF similar
results in the future.
The disastrous consequences OF
short crops arc 30 well known, 80
deeply aud so widely felt in all the
departments OF trade, commerce
and revenue; the home, the school,
house, the church, everywhere that
it becomes matter of paramount
interest to all, to investigate the
causes Of failure, and demands that
each SHOULD contribute his best aid
towards efecting such changes as
to secure as far as human agency
can. the largest and most remunera-
tive crops.
