This is an improvement of Is points in
California and III In Oregon. The average
condition of winter wh,a Mt IL S3le against ~
in April. The loss In area from rcnlanting
in other crops may be- assumed TO reduce the
prospect to that Of April ]. In io.9 and
1880 the general average was %; in 1881 1t
was IS; in 1882 l02, and I'm May of last year
100. In former years there were no May re-
turns. Two years ago the average declined
to 80 In July. Last year II increased to lO5
at the time of cutting. IL should be under
stood that, in the department reports of the
condition, 100 means a medium growth with
full stand and healthy plant. The Ohio and
Illinois state reports compare with last
years crop thus: Ohio reports 56 for May
compared with last year, and 62 compared
wltlfaverage crop.
The spring wheat area will not be com
plete till May Is, and will be reported June
]. The statistical agent for Dakota makes
the probable increase 30 per cent. The
agent for Minnesota reported sc per cent. of
last years area already planted. An in
crease of Is per cent. is reported in Wash
ingtOn territory. 1t Is not probable that the
increase in the spring wheat area will more
than make good the loss Of the winter wheat
acreage. Without regard to the spring
wheat breadth, the present prospect for the
winter wheat area, in consideration OF the
reduced condition and acreage, Is 20 per
cent. less than In May last, representing
loss of about 1000, 0OO bushels.

ANOTHER CHURCH,

The sanctifcationists are rapidly
establishing themselves as q church.
They are not inventing new doctrines.
but giving unusual prominence to an
old one. How far the honest among
them mix up what is taught by other
bodies under the heads Of regenera-
ton, justification and specification,
the LEDGER will not attempt to deter
mine. What it notices and deplores
is the formation of another unneces-
sary religious subdivision, at a time
liz which there is an undercurrent of
Christianity towards reunion of Its
parts.
The sanctificationists rely mainly
upon peculiar interpretations of the
Bible; but sooner or later they will
discover, like the denominations that
have preceded them, that religion
and church government are matters
about which it is as possible to exer-
else natural good sense, IS concerning
other affairs. Existing churches diff
fer widely in their modes and al
though they cannot agree either upon
the titles OF their officers, or upon
the scope OF their duties and powers,

FRANK JAMES ACQUITTED.

The two last numbers of the LED
E contained all the important evil
dence given in the late trial of Frank
James for the murder Of Mcmillan,
the stonemason, at the time of the
Winston train robbery. Whatever
solicitude may have been entertained
about the result of this famous trial,
so ably conducted on both sides, is
now at az end. The jury decided
that Frank James was not proven to
have participated in the robbery or
murder. This verdict is just what
might have been expected from the
evidence, had a less notorious charac-
ter than Frank James been on trial.
The only direct witness against him
was an avowed train robber and horse
thief, unworthy of credence, except
as sustained by other reliable evidence.
When Frank James surrendered he
was promised a fair trial, and we'll
has that guarantee been kept by the
chief executive and those that induc-
ed him to come in. After that pledge
it would have been infamous to all
connected with it, had the bandit
been deprived of either life or fiber-
ty except in strict conformity to es-
tablished rules of evidence. Although
acquitted in this instance, Frank
James has yet to run the gauntlet OF
other trials in this State, and even if
acquitted in them from want Of testi-
mony or other causes, will in all prob
ability be remanded to answer in
dictments that are outstanding
against him in other states, where
there can be no suspicion OF sympa-
thy for hlm because he was once q
confederate. But even in these
states, there are not wanting instances
in which noted culprits of the most
despicable character have escaped
meri:ed punishment either from local
sympathy or from impossibllity Of
establishing their crimes by reliable
evidence. Every possible effort was
made to convict Frank james. ant
certainly the charge will never be
made justly, that the prosecution wa:
in any wise direlect in its duty. The
State, therefore, can receive no DAM
age from the result arrived at. "It's
only q jury's verdict

CALLED SESSION.

There Is no necessity, whatever, for
acalled session of the Legislature, and.
were it convened, those that desire
it most would be most disappointed.
The Downing license law is enforced
throughout the State, not excepting
even st. Louis, where the privilege
of selling Sunday refreshments is
claimed under other enactments.
The Downing statute is a local OPP
ton law, and, therefore, can not he
operated with uniform results. Under
it, it is possible in different counties
to have comparatively cheap and ex-
pensive licenses, or for msjorities to
interdict the sale of i~ntoxicants alto
gether. This is what the legislature
designed, and it is not probable that
it would, if reeonvened, pass any
other sort of license law. 1t consid-
cred, last winter, the relative merits
of prohibition and restricted local
option, and decided in favor of the
latter by al unusually large majority,
and its action has been endorsed with
singular unanimity. II the legista-
ture is, therefore, called together, it
will be for the purpose Of either SIM
plifying or Strengthening u Sunday
laws. and should any thing Of that
sort be attempted, the outcome will
probably be the extension of the
Sunday privilege Of st. Louis to other
cities. To this there could be no
reasonable objection; but the matter
is not Of sufficient importance to JUS
tify an extra session. 1t has got to
be settled that Sunday legislation,
under our constitution, can be moth
ing more than reasonable police reg
lation. Even the pulpit has come to
this conclusion. Among the many
sermons on this subject, that have
been published recently, the LEDGER
has noticed none that advocated any
other view and nothing is more OBJ
vious than the propriety of having
different police supervisors for large
and small cities and for towns and
rural districts. There would be no
sense whatever in s~ubjecting all the
cities, towns and communities Of q
large state to exactly the same police
ordinances.

Z The folly of attempted constitutional
prohibition is tersly stated In the Christ
ian Union: "Where the public senti-
ment Of the state is strong enough to en-
force prohibition, prohibition can be Sc
cured by means of q law without any
constitutional provision; and where the
public sentiment Of the state is not
strong enough to steadily and persistent
ly enforce prohibition, q ~prohibitory
amendment will result In free rum"
The advocates of prohibition seem to
think 8 constitutional amendment will
enforce itself-an absurd error.

III So, WHY Sol
The Mexico LEDGER, referring to Rev

The Mexico LEDGER, referring 10 Rev.
DIR. John A. Brooks, asks
As q preacher in the Christian Church,
has he the right to address letters to all
candidases for governor or constable
and demand hat they express themselves
on the Christian creed? Verify, n Be-
sides preaching Christ cruciied. Brooks
delights I'm travelling over the State and
addressing all who will listen to him on
a pet fanaticism Of his called prohibit
ton. Does this give him the right to de-
mand of candidates for Office their opin-
ion on prohibition If so, why so?
+ We take it for granted of course that
these questions are propounded in good
faith and that the LEDGER desires a can
did and truthful answer. II we are cor
rect and the editor of the LEDGER will
give US a candid and respectful hearing,
we will give him q candid and respect
full answer, and one which we verify be-
lieve will satisfy any reasonable man in
the State, no difference what may be his
views on the question DIR. Brooks, with
universally-conceded ability, discusses
before the people.
In the first place, then, it is ar assump-
ton not warranted by a single act to
which the LEDGER can appeal, that DR..
Brooks, 'as a preacher in the Christian
Church, "either claims or has sought to
exercise the right to address letters to
any candidate for any Office either 'sde-
manding' or requesting s'that they ex-
press themselves on the Christian creed"
II this be true, and that it is true we
challenge the LEDGER to appeal to the
the record, why is the question asked and
the insinuation made? self so, why so2"
In the second place, even if it We're
true that Err. Brooks "delights in adj
dressing all who will listen to him." and
thanks to the intelligence Of the peo-
pie thousands listen, in the discussion Of
ga yet fanaticism of his called probibi-
tion,'' it can be just as truthfully affirm
ed that the editor of the LEDGER ''de-
lights" in addressing through his paper
all who will read what he prints on a pet
fanaticism of his called anti zprohibition.
In the third place it is an injustice to
DIR. Brooks, and one which is completely
uncovered by the facts of the case, that he
claims s'the right to demand of candid
ates for Office their opinion on prohibi-
ton" Neither as a citizen, minister Of
the gospel, president of the State Prohi-
bition Alliance, nor in any other relation
or capacity has he set up a claim to any
such ''right" or attempted to exercise it
in any manner or form whatsoever.
Therefore the LEDGER does him injus-
tice, and as a public journal does injus-
tice to itself. sIf SO, why so?" =
1t Is true that the Warrensburg Con-
vention, of which he was president, in
structed him in their name (not his
OWN and by their authority (not. his
own) to request, not to ssdemand," that
the candidates for governor of all par
ties give the public their opinions on 9
certain question; and that question, un.
fortunately for the accuracy and fai,
dealing of the LEDGER, was not PRoHI-
BIrIoN, but Submission. And "If so
why so?"-Columbia Statesman.

Book Agents.

We wonder why book agents won't
mind when they are told politely, and
pleasantly, that their beck is a good one,
but that it is not convenient to buy one,
or that they would rather have the
money than the book? But the agent
keeps on telling the merits of the book,
and if it is not bought, then the agent be-
gins to tell you that the people here are
ignorant and don't want books. All
book agents are not this way. Some are
polite gentlemen and ladies', and sell good
books, which are useful to the commu-
nifty, and the agents are of some use-if
you doubt this ask the LEDGER. We
have just had a round with one-and
after we told the agent we didn't want
the book, there the canvasser sat, talk
ing over its merits-while we looked
out Of the door, and wished old rafting
wagons and every noisy thing in exis-
tence would pass.-[Annie Laurie, in Lad

Flowers Thirty.Fiye Centuries Old.

lnAftysENe CoutuFt6S Ot0s
A curious experiment has recently
been tired with wreaths and votive
offerings taken from the tomb of an
Egyptian king, where they had been
drying for $500 years. Under judi
cious manipulation in hot water the
dry cells swelled into their original
plumpness and the leaves, attached
to cardboard and treated like recent
specimens, we're sent to Sir Joseph
Hooker, at Kew, and exhibited at a
late soiree of the Royal society. Not
only were the forms of the leaves so
far restored that they could be botan-
ically identified, but the intricate
venation of the flower petals could
be plainly traced, the eoloring Of ILL
les, larkspurs and other flowers were
displayed, and even the distinctive
orders of some specimens were pre-
served. In general these old leaves
and grasses were the same as of SIM
liar species to-day.
