Crop Prospects.

From reports, it appears that in
the northern portion Of Minnesota,
and in Northern and central. Wiscon-
sin, the wheat cropis suffering greatly
from the drouth, and unless there is
rain very shortly the outlook will be
gloomy. In Minnesota, an increased
acreage-eStimated at about three
hundred thousand acres--is reported.
But il seems that much of the shriv-
eled grain Of last year was sown, and
that the plant from this is feeble and
unpromiSing. In southern Mime
sofa the prospect is better, and from
IL number Of localities late rains are
reported. From the southern and
we.t.rn portions Of Wisconsin, the re-
ports are more favorable, and the
acreage is estimated to considerably
exceed that of last year, aud late
rains have much improved the pros
poets. The reports from Iowa indi
cate considerable increase in the
acreage, and that, while some fears
are entertained as to the dronth, the
prospect is generally promising and
has been improved by recent rains
in some portions oflhe State. From
Nebraska the reports are on the
whole, encouraging, and an increased
acreage is reported, but while late
showers are reported from some parts
of the State, there is yet considerable
anxiety, as to the effect Of the drouth.
Summed up, the reports from the
great spring.wheat regions indicate
that the crop depends largely upon
whether there is rain in the nex,few
days, and that to some extent the
prospect has been impaired by use of
shriveled seed. From the winter.
wheat States, comes also reports of
droulh, but less apprehensions seem
to be felt, and the prospects generally
are regarded as favorable. From
Ohio an increased acreage and gener-
lily good prospects are reported, but
rain is needed in many localities
The prospect in Indiana is generally
encouraging, and the acreage some
what increased over last year
Throughout Illinois the prospect is
most generally favorable, and the
acreage is considerably increased ov-
err that of last year In Michigan
some apprehensions are expressed as
to the continued dry weather, and
some Of the reports are unfavomble;
but generally an increased acreage
is reported, and a fair average crop
is expected in the greater part ofthe
State. In MiSsouriand Kansas rains
are needed, and there is much uneas-
mess us to the drouth; the prospects,
however, seem generally fair and
the acreage is considerably in.
creased. Late showers in some por-
tinns Of these States have much i'm
proved the prospects, but more rain
fall is required. And from all the
reports it is manifest that the crop
prospect depends more upon the
weather during the next few days
than upon all else now apparent. =

himself a Democrat who is not Will
ing to submit to The decision Of his
party, made through tile orraniza-
tiuns which alone are authorized to
speak for The party, let him be read
out Of the purity. And there have
been many such. Throughout this
and the neighboring counties there
are men calling themselves Demo

themselves as members, take active

We know that specious reasons for
such course Of conduct are never
wanting-alas! in some cases what
might be, under different circum-
stances, most satisfactory reasons; for
it cannot be denied that the Demo.
cratic party has in some instances
abused its power, permitted unwor-

cry and run it for their personal adj
vantage and not the pubic good, al
lowed miserable set of demagogues
to direct its policy and distribute its
patronage, and suffered the mnunte-
banks and charlatans, the henchmen
and swash-bucklers, the pimps and
sans-calottes, that hang upon the
skirts Of every party, to drive its
best elements TO the wall; but if the
party is worthy Of an existence at all,
it iscapable Of correcting all these
abuses, of getting rid Of all these bad
elements, by means at its own COM
mand and within itself, without any
resort to extrinsic aid. There is,
therefore, no excuse for boiling con.
ventions or for independent candi-
dacies. Let the good men, the solid
and substantial men Of the party,
the men of intelligence and patriot
ism, to whom party is the means Of
securing good government an not fat
offices, assert their influence. Let
them not stand back or retire in dis
gust when the unworthy attempt to
obtain control Of our Organizations;
but let them come forward and bold

nounce in clear and decided tones
that those who are not for them are
against them, and fight it outon that
line all the time aud everywhere; let

Stop.


There are few propositions, that
certain parties who are now propos.
ing to injnre the Democratic party,
should ponder well before they take
the final leap, and perhaps land in
the bosom Of the republican party.
LIST. The Democracy is now, and
have always been opposed to Govern
ment banks.
End. They have always favored
and kept. from destruction, Green
backs.
Sd. sherman'sso allied resumption
has only been maintained by the
adoption of such measures as have
been urged and fought for by the
Democracy.
Under the first head we can safely
refer to the action Of General Jack
son in 1S40, when after II fierce and
protracted struggle the United States
Bank was wiped out 1t was simply
and efiectually done by the passage
of a law repeating its charter. And
this is what the Democracy proposes
now in reference to the National
Banks. As soon as this is done they
pass away quietly, and no right, real
or imaginary, is violated. Such &C.
tion is proper and can easily be de
Tended from any assault that the
Radicals may choose 10 make upon
the actors in such a drama. 1t will
win the party friends in every State
and county in the Unitedstates. 1t
will not alarm foreigners, who may
be seeking investment in our land,
and will work a great economy to
our own people.
Under the second head may be
cited every platform of principles
that has been adopted BY the Democ-
racy since the close of the war in
1865. They have proposed and have
urged with all their power the pay
ment of 800 bonds in greenbacks.-
This is now passed as they are all
funded into 4 per cent. bonds, ut u
great saving to the people. 1t might
well be asked of these persons who
are so anxious to divide the Demo,
cratic party, If they are IN tavor Of a
deprecated currency The Democrat
icparty is in favor of as much paper
money, to be issued BY Tie Govern.
ment, as can be made good and kept
from depreciation. Remember Con,
tinental and Confederate money
The poor and rich were alike robbed
and plundered with this wildcat
stuff.
