TIE CROPS.

The July Agricultural Report represents
an improvement in winter wheat, but de-
cline in the prospects of spring wheat, on ac-
count of unreasonable weather in some quart
ers and insect enemies in others.
The average in corn is increased in West
| Virginia and Minnesota, and decreased in all
other States except Florida and Arkansas,
where it remains the same as last year. Corn
planting was everywhere retarded by the
weather, ard in many cases corn has been
several times replanted. Unusual complaint
of defective seed is made in all parts of the
country. The condition of cotton has been
previously given.
The reports up to July first indicate a crop
$50 per cent of an average, not including
Virginia, where the culture is yet mainly cx
detrimental. The prospective yield of oats
declined during June in the New England,
Middle and Northwestern States, except
Wisconsin. 1t was enhanced in all of the
Gulf States except Mississippi. Winter rye
improved in Rhode Island, Connecticut, New
Jersey, Maryland, North Carolina, Mississ-
ippi, Texas, Arkansas, Ohio, Michigan, Hi
nois and Iowa. 1t remained stationary in
Georgia and declined in all the other States.
Spring rye was below the average in all the
States but five, the minimum Seventy being
found in California, and the maximum Ql0)
in Nebraska. Winter barley generally de-
clined in the South and West, where heavy
rains prevailed.
Grass crops are generally improved in the
New England and Middle States, though they
were greatly shortened by tie drought. The
late winter told disastrously on the fruit crop.
The injury to apple trees was more extensive
than was apparent at the last report. Vast
numbers o.! peach trees were killed
The condition of grapes ranged from sixty
one in California to 1913 in Nebraska, 100 rep
resentng an average. The average in pota-
toes remained the same as last year, or in
creased in twenty-five States and decreased
in all the others.
The Colorado beetle has extended its ,ava-
ges eastward, being reportee for the first time
in several counties of New York. 1t was
still devastating in the West, but the farmers
had learned in many countries how to destroy
it effectually.
The maximum condition of the crop, Ill
was found in Georgia, and the minimum
seventy six, in Delaware.

4 TRIANGULAR OPPOSITION

The opposition strength in Ohio is divid-
ed into three factions. First is the party
of which Senator Thurman is the expon-
ent, holding to the principles Of the de-
mocracy as they existed before the war,
and favoring the nomination of only
straightout democrats for place; second
is the party represented by the Allen
County movement, which is not particu-
lar about principles or men but has a
sharp eye to success; and third are the
Liberal Republicans, who are chiefly
soured and disappointed office seekers,
seeking to oyerturn the party and admin
istration whose favors they failed to Sc
cure. AT the present time all these fac
tons are in condition of great activity,
cndeavoring to complete some arrange
ment for the coming campaign. Each is
pressing its own claim to the leading
place, and with each there goes threat
that if its demands are not conceded the
defeat of the democratic ticket will be the
consequence. Which will succeed can
only be told when the work of the State
convention is completed. but the indica.
tions are that the bunker democracy will
control that body.
What we see thus plainly being enacte,
in Ohio, is going on more secretly ant
quietly in other States. Here in Main
the same divisions exist. Here are tn
bunker democrats, the soft democrats, an,
the liberal republicans, differing widel
one from another in regard to the cours'
to be pursued. AS in Ohio, however, tn,
hunkers have the advantage, and are
pressing it to get control of the conyen
ton. One of their organs has laid down
q platform for the convention, and indica-
ted the kind of candidate that will be
acceptable. This little triangular contest
among the opposition is the only thing
that gives any interest to the campaign
but the softs are so discouraged by former
efforts TO achieve success by liberal pol
icy that their resistance is rather passive
than otherwise. Their policy appears to
be to let the hunkers 60 ahead and nomi-
pate their candidate, and elect him if they
can, believing that when the election is
over they will have an excellent opportu.
nifty to retaliate upon the hunkers for want
OF success in their management.

THE RAILROAD CONTEST.

Central and Boston and Maine railroads,
