Reports to tho Department of Agriculture
Show Gratifying improvement in the
Condition of Crops"
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-The following is the
condition of cotton, wheat, tob acco and corn,
as issued by the department of Agriculture
to-day.
Cotton-There was decided increase in the
condition of cotton during October. Unfavor-
able weather was reported in Georgia and Ala
bama. In all the other States it was favorable;
returns indicate yield per acre of ITS pounds,
against 19l last year. This yield, estimating
the area planted At 2 per cent. moro than last
year, would make deficit in this years crops
Of 290, 900 bales of $50 pounds each. All the
South Atlantic States show somo decline.
Texas falls off IS per cent. All the States
bordering on the Mississippifriver show decided
gains.
Wheat-Returns of November LIST show an
increase in the wheat crop Of &c, 600 600 bushels
over last year. This great increase is the result
of very large yield in all States bordering on
the Ohio river and the Mississippi river. North
western States show little variation from last
year. Kansas and California both decline in
yield. Texas, of all the Southern States, is
the only one that falls off in yield this year.
Tobacco-The indicated product for the en-
tire country is SO per cent. of that of 1878.
The gain has been greatest in Tennessee, Con-
nectlcut snd New York; loss greatest in Ohio,
Missouri and West Virginia, with . material
decrease also in Maryland. Illinois and Indiana.
In general the quality il better than previous
crops, Though damaged to some extent from
'house burDe, as reported in Kentucky and
Virgins, and frost in Illinois and Ohio.
Corn-According to returns to November l.
the corn crop promises an increase of over
200, 000,0 600 bushels, nearly Is per cent.
over last year. The Atlantic and gulf coast
States note some decrease but other section.

yields. Tho Southern inland States increa,e
nearly 80 per cent. over other States; sections

The Pacific States report about the same Weld
as last year.

tuslly owned by the larger corporations; the
st. Paul & Sioux City has acquired the right
to operate half dozen branches in Mlnneso-
ia, Iowa, Nebraska and Dakota, while the
St. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba has ex-
tended it's domain by construction until it
has become giant.
1t is too early to determine whether these
consultations will prove beneficial or other
wise to the business public. It is an advantage
sometimes to be able to ship goods over
continuous line rather than over number
OF independent roads. A large and strong
company can also afford to give better rates
than could be obtained from number Of
smaller roads. Much will depend, however,
upon the disposition of tho managers If
they pursue an intelligent, liberal course, all
will be we'll and the people will be satisfied,
but if they prove illiberal and grasping they
will invoke restrictive legislation that may
cost them more than they will succeed in
extorting from the people. We hope. to see
a wise policy adopted, SO that the public will
have no reason to regret the creation of these
vast monopolies.

RAILROID CONSOLIDATION

The GLOBE has heretofore called attention
to the tendency of the leading railroads to
absorb oil smaller ones, and by that means
concentrate the business of transportation in
q few hands. Every day makes this tenden-
cy moro and more manifest, and it looks as
If the close of five years would witness the
existence of not more than half a dozen
giant corporations, controlling and operating
our vast system of railroads Of over hun
bred thousand miles in extent. The rivalry
of the leading companies, which began on
the first indication of a return to prosperity,
has been increasing daily ever since, and a
day has scarcely passed within the past six
months on which we have not been called
TO note the purchase of one of the smaller
by one of the larger lines. The present ex-
traordinary activity in the stock market Is
largely due to those purchases of links that
connect one of the great trunk lines with
sou1e desirable section that either at present
or in the near future gives promise
OF pecuniary returns. The Wander
hiit interest, after many years of effort, has
secured practical monopoly Of the carrying
trade between New York and Chicago by the
recent absorption Of the Erie road. The
connections of that company west of Buf-
falo will soon fall into the Unsuitable NAV of
the same corporation, and thus to great ex-
tent cut off competition. The Pennsylvania,
Baltimore & Ohio and Atlantic g. Great
Western roads will still remain as avenues of
communication with the East, but these
having no termini of their own in New
York, are open to objections. The Illinois
Central has obtained control of all the roads
leading southwark from the Illinois line to
the Gulf of Mexico, and is now gathering
in the lateral branches. The Wabash, which
only recently assumed the aggressive, has
already acquired important connections in
both Illinois and Missouri, and now controls
length of line of nearly two Thousand miles,
while it is still craving for more In our
own State aud Dakota the past few months

A THOROUGH search of the archives of
Kentucky shows not the slightest vestige Of
the constitution of that State on file. When
it disappeared or whether it was ever on file
at all does not seem to be known. It is even
the opinion of some that Kentucky never
had constitution, but if she had, it has
been of very little service in tho past. The
people there don't seem to have any particu-
lar need OF q constitution, for few of them
could read it if they could find it.

The Minneapolis corps Of Pyth,au
Knights hold meeting Tuesday evening of
vital importance to the corps. For some
time past it has been felt that some steps
would have to be taken to change the char
acter of the order. Now it is thought best
to disband and re -organize as crack military
company. This would place them on al in
dependent basis and allow them to increase
their ranks from outside the Knights of
Pythias order, or any other secret organiza-
ton. With the success they have achieved
in the few months since their organization
and the popularity they now enjoy, such an
organization as they contemplate would
doubtless meet with the support and encour.
