Crop Reports.

The Kansas City Times of Sunday
published extensive crop reports from
Missouri and Kansas. The reports tell
of large losses, but the farmers seem to
be in good spirits and expect the year
30 bring satisfactory results. From the
Times we learn that the wheat losses
are about as have been reported for
several weeks. Corn had not been
planted to a sufficient extent at the
time of sending in the estimates to,
base a calculation upon, but there is ne
doubt OF a full crop. The only injury
to be expected comes from the late
ness of planting Peaches are much
injured but other fruit is in unusually
good condition. Notwithstanding the
severe winter, cattle seem to have been
little damaged and are reported to be
taking on flesh quickly.
immigration into Kansas is the most
remarkable feature of the report.
Several counties have added from 900
to !, 800 each to their population, and
nearly every one has a remarkable in
crease. a very satisfactory piece of
news is that neither insect enemies nor
diseases are appearing anywhere to an
extent calling for apprehension.
The conclusions to be drawn from
the report are eminently reassuring.
This great region of which Kansas
City is the metropolis is in thoroughly
healthy condition. 1t is growing and
developing solidly. Its advance in
numbers is accompanied by correspond
ing progress in wealth. The portion of |
the report referring to public schools
must not be overlooked in the examina-
ton. In every direction ample school |
facilities exist. Immigrants can be |
certain that wherever they may locate |
their children will have all reasonable /
educational advantages. Taken alto |
gether, the report is fifty continuation
of the wonderful story which this |
richly endowed territory has been tell |
ing the world for fifteen years"

A Good Change.

The third failure of the Dolphin more
than justifieS Mr.. Whitney's refusal to
pay for her. Under the old Republican
system John Roach would have got his
money long ago, and the Government
would have vessel needing constant
repairs and alterations and costing a
vast sum to keep her in any kind of
working order. The new Democratic
Secretary of the Navy, however, deals
with the subject in another style, and
if the vessel is ever accepted and paid
for, it will be because she is put into a
condition of lasting usefulness entirely
corresponding to the specifications of
the contract. Mr.. Whitney is the right
man in the right place.
