CROP PROSPECTS.

The reports recently received at the
state department of agriculture are dis
couraging for wheat prospects, while the
cold, backward season has been unfavor.
able for the growth of corn. The reduced
area of winter wheat, the result of the
severe winter and damage from insects,
with the bad condition. gives encourage
ment for only about 10000, 900 bushels, OF
10000, 900 bushels less than last crop The
crop correspondents for this county make
the following report to Springfield, OF
the crop and stock prospects in this
county:
Rock Island-Winter wheat has not
impro we'd the past month. and from pres
ent prospects there viii not be two-thrds
of an average yield per acre. The drilled
wheat looks much better than that sown
broadcast. Rye viii make about three
fourths of an average yield per acre.
Spring wheat looks we'll, and the area is
as large as last season; more oats sown
than in 1882, and the prospects are en-
for more than an average yield
per acre. Barley is up TO an average IN
and the area is larger than last
season. Area of meadows and pastures
nearly rs large as last season; the cool,
dry weather has not been favorable for
the growth of grass which is not up to an
average in condition; the old clover is
nearly all killed; old timothy looks we'll;
The late seeding, winter killed. Peaches
are winter killed; apples, pears, and cur
rents promise an abundant bloom; soil
pulverizes well; needs rain and sunshine.
Horses, mules, sheep and hogs look well;
cattle in thin flesh; stock generally
healthy The number of cattle is much
ess than in May, 1882; abaut the same
number of cows. horses and mules as last
season, and a decrease of about II per
cent in the number of hogs, when com
pared with same date in 1882.

4 MYsrsRroUs coin SPILL.

The cold spell about the 18th, 18th and
| 18th Of MAY, which was very distinctly
marked this year, is one of the NEST sin.
gular of meteorological phenomena The
observations of many years have furnished
strong evidence that it occurs yearly and
Iextends over the whole northern hemi-
sphere also After the discovery that
there are rings of meteors revolving
around the sun, some OF which intcrsect
the orbit of the earth, il was not an un-
natural suggestion that the cold spell in
May, and few other general depressions
in temperature, might be caused by the
interposition of huge swarms of meteors
between the earth and the sun, whereby a
portion of the sua's heat would be cut off.
Mr.. Proctor has recently made an argu-
ment in favor of this theory. but it seems
to be open 10 serious objections. If a
swarm of meteors. dense enough to cut
off a considerable portion OF the sun s
heat, passes between the earth and the sun
every May, it should cut off light as well
as heat; but there is no evidence that the
cold spell in May is accompanied by any
diminution of sunlight Besides there are
certain hot spells which have also been
supposed to recur with more or less regu-
larity every year. and, generally speaking,
theory which accounts for cold spells,
ought to account for the hot spells also.
This the meteorie theory fails to do, tor
it will hardly be asserted that there are so
many meteoric swarms between the earth
and the sun that only few days in each
year, when there happen to be no meteors
in the way, is the full power of the suns
radiation felt upon our globe.
Still, if these spells of abnormal temper
allure really recur every year, and are felt
simultaneously all over the globe, it is
difficult to see how they can be account
ed for except on the hypothesis of gen
eral cause completely overriding the or
binary laws of meteorology. There seems
to be no reason whatever for looking to
changes and the cause producing
them cannot reside in the atmosphere
alone. The rushing of the earth through
the ether of space might possibly have
some effect upon our atmospheric con
ditions, but it could not account for the
phenomena in question. A careful study
of the sun with the object of detecting
any changes, in his emission of light and
heat may solve the mystery. Another
cold spell is upon US, and the mystery is
still unsolved.

QUITE AMUSING.

Rock ISLAND, May 81.
EDITOR ARGUs:-In Sunday morning s
Davenport Democrat, in the Rock Island
column, appeared the following start
ling" announcement, which cmanated
from the brain of the superintendent
of streets, resigned by requesD AL. War
rem, who is the liable" representative of
the Democrat in this city:
THE present Incompetent management
OF the street work under the dd interim
incumbent should be abandoned at once
The attempt to keep a gang of old fos-
sils at work on the streets, in doing work
utterly uncalled for such as carefully
scraping the light covering of clean grav-
ell from the macadam. digging o1t cutters
already a foot below grade, and hauling
away material from such places where in
a short time material will have to be haul
ed to raise walks to grade, is a wanton
waste of the street fund that calls for i'm
mediate supervision of the street commit
tee and the mayor. When the pay of
street laborers is $1.75 per day the en-
plOvment of large force of men unable
TO earn $1.00 should only be tolerated
when it becomes necessary to clean the
main thoroughfares. A reduction of the
force is necessary"
The writer, in speaking of the old fos-
sils who receive 81, rs per day, and who
are not worth 81. shows very poor taste,
as it is not so very long ago that this same
individual hired the same s'old fossils TO
work for him, and enforced them to pay
monthly stipend to hold their positions.
Cleaning the streets and digging the mud
from the cutters so as to carry off the
surface water, shows very good sense on
the part of our street commissioner, adj
interim. When Warren was street com
missioner, how many streets were below
grade. and were robbed of their surface
which was placed on streets above grader
How many lots belonging to the family
circle were filed up, and who received the
pay for said work under his administra-
tion2 How many sewers were constructed
for private parties? Was there any wells
dug, brick furnished, and how much was
demanded from these 'sold FOSSILS as he
terms them? These are questions which
the people wonld like answered. The
record at the City Clerks office shows
that after WaTens investigation was
held minority and majority report was
presented, the latter exonerating him,
and the former condemning him. 1t is
needless to say that the majority report
was defeated in the council, and the mi
nority report was carried. These facts
are fresh in the memory of the citizens of
Rock Island. and the poor laborers who
were compelled to furnish money to buy
him Christmas gift.

The county building committee from
the Board of Supervisors met at the Court
House on Saturday afternoon. The mem
bers of the committee are Messrs. Werlich
Brooks, Taylor, Campbell and Weather
head, and all were present. The opinion
of States Attorney Parmenter as to the
right of ordering the expenditure, was
read. Mr.. Campbell moved that the plan
submitted by Mr.. Collins be accepted,
which was carried. The plan is for the
main building to be six feet wider and the
vaults four feet, and that the corners be
made plain instead of octagonal On
motion of Mr.. Campbell it was decided
that the shape of the tower be left to Mr.
Collins; that the roof of the building be
of slate. the floor tile, that iron beams be
used for the vaults, and the matter of hay
ing basement be lett for future consid-
Grafton. As the AReUs predicted, the
members of the committee did not inter
fere with the location selected by the
Board, and considered that matter settled.
They decided to meet again on the ed of
June, when Mr., Collins plans and speci-
fications will be in readiness.

annrsr NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

Geuel.'s Stati0neT, a magazine devoted to
the interests of the paper trade. has the
following very true article on clerks and
their salaries: The question OF honest
service from clerks has often been taken
up by Geger's Stdtionef, and the conclu-
sion at which we have always arrived,
has been that, to get honest bookkeepers
and clerks, employers must pay honest
salaries. Even under such rule losses
may come, but to follow it is TO insure
against loss This is the opinion express
ed in most of the letters One says: The
secret of the success of ali the old houses
here, is that they pay men sufficient to
aid man in being honest, as he deserves
to be. By that mode men in their employ
are not continually looking for something
else to better themselves. They are salts
fed, and know that they can do no better
elsewhere. They take as much interest in
their employers business as il it were
their own. Their employer can place CON
fidence in them, and they are just as reli-
able as partners. When merchants and
others adopt this course, it is "a rarity to
hear of a defalcation."
Another remark: The remedy which
seems necessary, and which should be
applied for the mutual protection of mer-
chants, bookkeepers and statesmen, is the
payment of salaries sufficient to enable
men of skill and intelligence to live with
their families in decently comfortable
manner"
We know of firm, not in the station
airy business, who, on balancing up last
years account about month ago, gave
bonuses to their force as usual, the chief
bookkeeper, on salary of about 81 600
per annum, getting $500 or 600. and so
in proportion all the way down. When
merchant follows this policy, at the same
time using all the prudential checks that
his observation has taught him, he will
not have much occasion to complain of
dishonesty. Honest men never object to
u systematic examination of the cash or
accounts, but it discourages and disheart
ems them to find that their services are
not appreciated and recompensed fairly.
A merchant who pays for honesty will get
it, but merchant who does not pay for it
ought not to grumble at its absence.
