TIE PEACH CROP OF 1883.

chicago Tribune"
The enormous estimate that was given
of the peach crop this year has been lib
orally verified. By the close of the seas
son there will have been sent to Cincins
natl above ], 800, 600 baskets, and to Chi
cago twice as many, and about 500 600
direct TO New England cities. The can
ners Of Baltimore and Philadelphia and
co operators located near the peach grow
ing sections have operated very heavily
this year, using l,5U0, 600 baskets. Eigh-
ty evaporating embellishments have been
busy in Delaware and Maryland ever
since fine fruit was fl 10 be picked. The
evaporating method has almost pushed
the old Gus tom of sundrying 10 ono side
In The new process, peaches can be packed
n halves, with very showy appearance
that materially help sales. The market
was very short OF good peaches since last
sumner, and, as crops are apt to alter
nate heavy and light, preseryers have
aimed to provide for possible short of

crop of this year vii, equal that of the
remarkable growth of lC3 5. In COM

that time the rush Of supply vas very

The evil influence of unpun ished crime
is strikingly illustrated in the neigh bor-

county, not long since, q young man with
q newly bought revolver, said to his com
panion, "See me pick out the middle man -

from his revolver he picked ths railroad

in a few days. The reckless young man

The other day in the Same county of
Boone, two or three lads went out with
guns on hunt. They found little boy
in a hickory tree. Said one of he youD z
hunters TO his companions, "See me pick

the legs of the little boy on the tree with
bird shot.

ABSTRACT Of Monthly Report Of Com
naissioner Of AqricnLfive.

CoRN CRop-The returns estimated by
ser centages give 81 per cent. over full
crop, or 1861 as compared TO full crop
This relates TO the product, and not to the
acreage. The acreage, as estimated from
the most reliable information obtainable,
is from TO S per cent. over that Of last
year.
ToBAcoo-Thc summary OF the returns
throughout the State shows 9S3 per cent
of fun crop | make no question that
there has been full crop grown. The
acreage was large, and while the first
half CT the season was unfsvorable to its
growth, the last half was all that could
be desired, and the outcome was wonder
ful. In three of the principal White
Bnrley counties, viz; Owen, Bracken and
Mason, the crop is somewhat short COM
pared with former years, but this Is more
than made up for by the counties in
Northern interior Kentucky that have in
the last few years entered upon its pro
duction. The White Burley crop will sg.
gregate a fun one, and large part OF il
promises 10 be Of fine quality. There is
complaint of barn burning to limited
extent in some Of the couties.
iIEMP--The hemp crop proves to be the
only short crop grown in he State, the
diminished acreage and the inferior pro-
duct bringing it down to not more than
70 per cent of o full crop.
RYE The average yield Of rye per acre
as shown by the fooiings up from 4 coun'
ties, is 3 bushels. This crop is grown il
the State to but small extent compared
with the other small grain.
SoRGHUM-There is large increase ol
this crop grown in he State this yea
over previous years. The large increas'
is due TO it's cultivation for stock feed II
counties in Central Kentucky.
PoTAToEs-M returns put this crop
! lC per cent. above an average. As th'
gathering season progresses the eviden
oes accumulate that the yield is large
and the quality exceptionally fine.

hog crop reported in the State, and hu
/ 65 per cent. OF stock hogs Certainly

mate is grestly variant from the trn

grand tidal wave in favor of the Denco-

ON Political Ethics.


We sincerely regret the abusive and
sarcastic attack made upon Hon. rhos. l..
Jones by some of the Democratic papers
of the State. Col. Jones is an elegant
gentleman and a conscientious Democrat,
and be does not deserve these abusive
wads. We are enthusiastically for Mr..
Knott, and so is all this part OF the State,
but 1t is on the grounds of his superior
fitness for the place. Mr.. Knott win win
the nomination upon his merits and not
upon the demerits of Col. Jones or any
other opponent. He is not that character
OF man to try to build himself up by pull
ing others down, and Col. Jones himself

NOT HARMoNIzEp YET.

Ihe OLD Gloralter democracy IS SIN d.
tided, and refuses to be harmonized oD
the peace basis as offered.
Let all sincere democrats put their
heads and hearts together now that the
have passed, and try to ind the real cause
OF this division, and when found, less
apply the remedy that will sure the
wounds in our party, and let's apply it
patriotically, for the love of our party,
and not in prejudice and passion.
Why then are honest democrats warning
against honest democrats Is it upon
sny question of party principle, or upon
any measure that is calculated to injurs
or benefit the people2
Certainly not. Neither the Grace or
the Turner democrats make any such
claim.
The party is divided, and has been di-
vided for twelve years, upon the simple
question Of party organisation.
The Democrats, led by the District De m
ecratic Committee, have contended for
party organization through Delegate Con,
ventions.
The Democrats, led by Turner, have
contended for organization through Pris
mary Elections.
All candid democrats know that this
has been the sole cause of the split; and
il has so taken possession of the demo
cratic mind that all other questions are
sunk into insigni6cauce.
Take Fulton county illustration,
and it is a fair sample of this sentiment
in the other counties. There are full 600
votes in the Hickman precinct, and o
these 500 OF them, white and black, are
for the improvement OF the rivers. These
voters know, and understand, that Tur-
ner voted each session of Congress against
the River and Harbor bill, and would vote
against him or any other man on this
proposition; but the spirit OF the split

10 per cent. Turner made speech
against the bill, and when the bill was
pu. on its final passage, he absented him
self and did mt vote. The conclusion was
therefore fair that be was against the bill.
We wager that nine farmers ont OF ten
condemn his action on this bill, but in the
election last Tuesday, the squabble about
"rings and ciqucs' overshadored it near
Jy altogether.
The same is true OF many other issues.
The whole of which means that the bulb
and ouysy Of the Democrats Of this Dis,
trict are dissatis1ed with Conventions
and will never be reunited and harmoni-
GUS except through primary election.
The Courier has urged the District Com,
mittee for many years to adopt the pri

was fair but because it would bring har
