FINE SHOWING.

LoNDoN, Sept. 5.-The Times pub.
fishes an exhaustive summary of NJ.
Es:ienne's annual review of the har-
vests of the world issued ut Mar
settles.
As regards French wheat, the re-
suit Is already known. Maize is good
in 25 departments and very good in
two, as against good in seven depart
ments only, last year. Rye shows a
similar favorable contrast. Barley
shows .lighter Improvement.
In Great Britain, Ala inquiries
have been sentto farmers asking their
opinion of the growing crops. Re.
plies, taking one hundred as repre-
sentlng the average, show the follow.
ing result: Wheat %, barley 95. oats
one hundred and six, roots one hun
died and sever, potatoes 90. This
may be compared with last year s
figures, which were rs follows:
Wheat ninety, barley ITO, oats so,
potatoes %. The wheat crop will
probably be ten million quarters for
consumption, leaving fourteen mill
ion quarters for which we shall be dc.
pendent on foreign supply
Spain is the only country from
which reports are unfavorable.
In summarizing the result the
Times says: Never during the time
since these reports were collected has
the harvest in the northern hemis.
phere been so good all around. We
usually had to report . deficiency Ell
Their III Europe or America. This year
these is absolutely none. The world
has over an average harvest. and with
such harvest the year is likely to be
one OF cheap ab undance.'

The pcnisylvnnin CnppniSu

The Keystone State is all torn up over
the political situation. The examinations
and recri'ninations in the opposing news
papers and by the speakers on the stump
are exceedingly acrimonious and vehe
mcnt. Charges and counter charges Of
sold out" and corruption" abound on
everyhand. pittburgh's advices to the close
Of the month are to the following effect as
respects the situation and outlook:
Reports received here tonight from
different parts Of the State represent all
parties working with might and main to
make all the capital possible before the
election. The Stalwarts arc said to be
meeting with considerable success in the
mining districts, where they are spending
money freely and representing 10 the work:
insuen that Democratic success would
cause hard times. 1t is chargcd in some
quarters that Armstrong, Labor candidate
for Governor, ia in the pay Of Cameron und
Quay, and issecrclly working for the bosses.
From the best information, the Labor
vote will bedrawn about equally from both
parties. The Republican defeat
in Ohio alarmed a good many
Independents for the safety Of the
House Of Representatives and they have
gone back to the regulars. Still the hide
pendents will poll not less than $1,000
yotes, which will defeat Beaver and insure
the election OF Pattison., The Republicans
will probably lose three Congressman, one
Of whom is Gen. Hurry. White. Frrett and
Baync will be re. elected. The latter has no
opposition. Hopkins, who opposes Errett,
will receive the full Democratic vote, be-.
sides large Independent support, but,
with ali this, Errett will como out with a
handsome majority. The Prohibition vote
will be small. There has not been cam.
paign for years in which so many roor-
backs were set alloat to distract the judy.
msnt and ini]ame the passions OF voters.
Immense meetings are of nightly occur:
renee here, at which the best speakers in
the State hold forth. Allegheny county
will give reduced Republican majority,
say 5000. =
