THE HEMP CROP.

from the Lexington, Ky, Gazctte.l
The hemp crop In this county Is very good
where sown on hemp; land in proper condition.
The stalk is long and lint heavy .-Lexington
(Mo.) lntclligencer:
We are glad to hear OF the reviving
of the hemp industry of Missouri, which
at one time was a very important fac.
tor in the produce Of the west. Wes-
tern Missouri is the only rival we have
in the growfngA0fh Hemp but it has al
ways been an honorable rivalry, and
the advantage they had in fresh lands
we made up I'd careful culture and
more pains ID cleaning. One clause in
the above paragraph is worthy the at
tention Of farmers. and this is in refer
ence to the character Of the land sown
in hemp. 1t is too much the habit of
farmers in Kentucky aswell as Missou-
ri to SOW hemp on land that will not
produce it, and this is especially the
fault THIS year. Our farmers were so
anxious to grow alarge crop in antici-
patton Of a high price. that they seeded
land that has brought nothing but a
crop of weeds or very Indifferent hemp
Twenty acres of really good land. sown
with good seed. and at the proper time,
will bring more thar a hundred acres of
poor land. The crop in this and ad-
joining counties. while large in acreage,
is not first-rate crop. Too much land
that was not suitable was sown. and
hence much seed was wasted and labor
thrown away. The drouth in June was
not. in many instances. made up by
subsequent rains. There is nothing but
what we have already stated to indicate
the course of the market for the grow
ing crop, but we have full faith that
growers will get a remunerative price.

THE Democrats have achieved the
greatest blunder yet, in uniting with
the Greenback party of Maine. They
give by this move, the lie to one of
the prominent planks in their plat
form and show that they are prepared
to 60 to any length to win their point.
1t is an alliance that any we'll bred
and honest Democrat will blush to
own. 1t must certainly be looked upon
with modification and regret by the
Democrats at large, who are hard
money men and see the transparent
horelessness this step reveals by the
Democracy of Maine. Whether the
party that is one now, proposes to vote
for Weaver or Hancock has not been
announced. That the combination
will run smoothly, to the end, is
scarcely to be hoped for, but should it
do so the infamous Garcelun affair will
doubtless be attempted in November
Republicanism has, however a stalwaIt
champion there, who did most noble
service during the Garcelon intrigue
and stands ready to protect Republican
rights as thoroughly now as then, Will

and other notable leaders will not see

General Hancock's Ancestry.

Much has been said and written by
Democrats and Democratic newspa-
pers about the pedigree of
Winfield Scott Hancock, the Demo
cratic nominee for President. 1t is
claimed by these Democratic papers
that he is descendant-the grandson
of the signer Of the Declaration Of
independence, John Hancock. A
writer in the Philadelphia Press has
made it his business to look the matter
up, and las carefully.prepared data
showing conclusIvely that such is not
the case, and gives General Hancock s
true pedigree. The writer, giving the
opinions Of the people who now reside
in the vicinity of Hancock's birth
place, says "They are honest enough
to say that it matters not who were
General Hancock's ancestors so that
he himself is without blemish, but yet
they say there should be no false i'm
pressiOns made as to whence he sprang,
and that certainly, lest the American
people and the inhabitants of Mont.
gomery county should be charged with
woeful lack Of curiosity, if not ignor.
ance, something should be known con
cerning the forefathers of man who
is reaching forth his hands for the
Presidential chair" We CLEAN the

JUST now it would be very proper
and right for Mr.. James Mosgrove,
Greenback. Democratic candidate for
Congress in this 25th Congressional
district, to make known his intentions
with regard to the Presidential tickets
He has given his pledge to do all he
can for General Weaver, the Green
back candidate, and yet bis Demo
cratic friends assert that he is going
to disrespect that pledge and vote for
Hancock. This is but a small matter
and ii is easily settled; all that the
people want is for Mr. Mosgrove to
declare his intentions. If he is still
for Weaver, it is an easy matter to say
so, and by so doing he will shut the
mouths of those who are now assert
ing that he is man who will violate
a sacred pledge. We will be pleased
to give place in these columns to any
declaration of intentions that Mr.. Mos
grove may desire to make.-BroOkViH

THE Republicans are forming the
line of battle in the State ofNew York.
There is every reason, remarks the
New York Tribune, why the Repub-
lican party should thus unite with
more than its usual heartiness, and
with only a generous rivalry between
contending factions as to which shall
be foremost in good work. Gen. Gar
field is the candidate of no faction, and
he stood in the way of no rival. He
was nominated as spontaneous choice,
and as a relief from a deadlock. He
was the one man they found they could
agree upon, and they took him, not as
dark horse, but as the Republican
statesman, not seeking the place, whom
they knew best, liked the most and
thought the strongest. His choice was
the special defeat of nobody else, and
the friends of each candidate can fee
in supporting him they are supporting
not successful rival, but fairly
chosen substitute. This attitude, too
gives him special advantages for th
campaign. He is under obligations t
no faction, and can be fair to all. H
had to make no committals before hi
nomination, and he has been wis
enough to make nc promises since
Not human being has from him tn
promise of anything, in case of hi
election. His obligations and hi
promises are to the Republican part
at large. Those the whole countr
knows, and knows he will keep.

THE National Democrat quotes from
VIM. B. Mann's speech as follows:
GA victory for Hancok now means
that all who fought on the right side
shall give way and make place either
to those who fought on the wrong side
or who sympathized with them"
Most people with two eyes and sense
enough to use them will see that Col.
Mann is about as near the bulls eye
as possible, but the Democrat don't think
SO and gives this as a reason:
1--WE call the attention of our read
ers to the appointment of Major Gener-
al James A. Longstreet as collector Of
customs under Grant administration" "
1t may be useless to argue question
of color with q blind man, but we
suggest to our contemporary, as a
matter which ought to be Of great
