Tn . Crop Prospects.

PORTLAND, Oregon, May 12.-The
reports Of crops based on the best in
formation are encouraging in their
character. In Willamette valley the
wheat looks as we'll as at any previous
time for years. In the west side coun.
ties the.prospect is even better. Light
rams have somewhat retarded seeding,
but with favorable weather from the
present time crop fully equal to that
of last season may be expected. In the
region lying east of the cascade Noun.
aims the increased acreage over last
year is from 40 to As per cent. A failure
in the wheat crop of Eastern Oregon
and Washington was never known, and
in one year onl i was there a light yield.
The surplus of Valley wheat is esti.
mated this year at 100000 tons. The
Eastern Oregon and Washington sur
plus this year is estimated at $4,000
tons. The estimate of the total surplus
for export is 375, 900 tons

iekneIk al Stanton.

The neighborhood Of Stanton has
been severely afflicted during the pre-,
sent Spring by sickness, scarlet fever
amongst children pred0minating.
There have been half dozen or more
deaths Of children, from this disease,
within the last two or three weeks. Be.
sides these quite number of adults
have died this spring, the deaths being
far out of the usual proportion, con.
sidering the population. These facts
lead to the question of whether Stanton
is a healthy place or not. II healthy,
Why is there. such an unusual fatal
ity? The town is highly elevated and
the ground is rolling in all directions,
except to the east where the Christiana,
Red Clay Creek and White Clay Greek,
form junction, and where there are
two or three hundred acres of marsh
land. After all, however, tho village
more elevated than Newport, only
two miles off, and yet is more afflicted
with diseases. This is something
which We doubt the ability of modern
physicians to explain. If this fatality
prevailed to the same degree in the city
Of Wilmington, it would be attributed
to q want Of drairs age, aud theories
wOnld be advanced that the earth had
become saturated and full Ct the drain
age of the filth and washings of the
city. But what about Stanton? Have
the Christians, the Red Clay Creek and
the White Clay Creek combined to TO-
TosiJ the wasbings Of a vast extent of
Country in the fats around Stanton?
But even making this allowance, worlI
these washings be as noxious and
poisonous as those in Wilmington ?
Evidently there must he other theories
for the spread of diseases than those
which apply to Wilmington. or else
why go much sickness al Stanton?

indeed, that he has not slept at all for
10 years. His ueighbors say that they
have been at his house at all hours Of

Democracy and Reform,

In the great desire to serve partisan
interests, there is danger that vital
principles will be overlooked again, and
thus the campaign become mere
scramble for office. There are other
things which are of paramount import.
ance to the mere question Of who
shall be Mayor of Wilmington, the
Governor of Delaware or the Represen-
tative in Congress. The people Of
Delaware want reform, but if reform
principles are to be covered over dur
ing the election with a dissoluble solu-
tion called Democracy, or Republican
ism reforms will be laid aside to be agi.
tated as they have been in the past
when no election was pending. The
Democrats having been in power near
ly the whole Of the last forty years are
responsible for the irregu!arity in rep,
representation under which the people
are now suffering. The Republicans
have not had the power to correct any
abuse or wrong because they have not
been in power long enough to perfect a
reform. 1t is the fault of the Demo-
Gratis that there are nearly $4,000 dis
franchised citizens IN New Castle
County, who have no voice nor repre-.
sentation in the Legislature, the boly
that makes the laws. They could have
amended the Constitution and placed |
every citizen on an equality had they de-
sired to do so, but 1t suited their pur-
pose better for the sake of keeping the |
State under Democratic control, to
keep distran cbised nearly as many peo-
pie in New Castle County as equals the
whole population Of Kent County. |
Under the cry Of "stick to your party"
it is evident there is to be no reform
agitated during the present campaign.
Those disfran ohised are to remain dis
franchised for the sake of clecting
Democratic Governor, a Democratic
Conettttn,ar, a Democratic Legisla-
tu1e, and Democratic officers In every
department 70 The Democrats be.
longs the odium Of passing and enforc.
ing the present iniquitous and unjust
assessment laws which succeed ad'
in cheating Republicans out
of votes and the State out of taxes.
No effort will be made to correct these
abuses by the Democratic party, be-
cause the very existence Of the party is
dependent upon these unjust laws. We
would ask any reasonable Democra. if
his is not carrying partisan action a
little too fal? But when are the evils
TO be corrected? They should be cor
recttd this very campaign, and they
would be if voters would think more
of justice and equality than of their I
party. Will voters act blindly this
time and postpone action until after an.
other election and then cry reform?
