BALDWIN. Aug. 23.-I have endeavored
during the past week 10 ascertain just what
the crop prospects are and / must confess
that the outlook is discOuTaging. and farm
err are justified in INDUCING in a TT Of the
blues. 4 the commencement of the har-
vest every one thought there would be al
most an average crop. Later Oh the gen
eral impression was about half what they
expected, and now. when the grain is all
cut and stacking commenced. it is hard TO
lind farmer VINO expects more than third.
and that even very poor quality of wheat.
4 farmer IN Hammond threShed the entire
crop Of eight acres and realized about
twenty-eight bushels. Oats were eonsid-
cred a fair crop, but they are found To be
very poor, too. Barley also falls far behind
the expectation. If there are 40 early frosts
corn will be an average crop. but the indi-
cations are ROW that frost may be expected
much sooner than common. Said prOmi-
nent farmer 10 me few days since: The
people Of this valley must begin soon 10
adopt other means than that Of raising
wheat to obtain q means of livelihood.
Hog raising. stock raising and dairying
must be tried. and people must bring them
selves 10 understand that the days of big
profits are passed in ~. CrOiy county"
The problem of an industry to adopt other

well consider. ''FOrewarned is forearmed. s"

To the Congress of the United States: Your
assembling is clouded by sense of public
bereavement caused by the recent and sud
den death of Thomas A. Hendricks, vice
president of the United States. His dis
tinguiShed public services. his complete
integrity and devotion to every duty, and his
personal virtues, will find honorable record
in his cOuntry'S history. Ample and repeated
proofs of the esteem and confidence in which
he was held by his fellow countrymen were
manifested by his election to the offices of the
most important trust and highest dignity,
and at length, full of years and honors. he
has been laid at rest amid universal sorrow
and benedictiOn.
The constitution, which requires that those
chosen to legislate for the people shall annu-
ally meet in the discharge of their solemn
trust, also requires the president to give to
congress information of the state of the
Union. and recommend to their consideration
such measures as he shall deem necessary and
expedient. At the threshold of q compliance
with the constitutional directions, it is well
for us to bear in mind that our usefulness
to the peoples interests will be promoted by
u constant appreciation of the scope and the
character of our duties as they relate to fed
erEl legislation. While the executive may
recommend such measures as he shall deem
expedfent the responsibility of legislative
action must and should rest on those selected
by these laws. The contemplation of
THE GRAVE AND RESPONSIBLE FUNCTIONS
assigned TO the executive branches of the
government under the constitution will dis
close the partitions of power between our
respective departments and their necessary
independence, and also the need for the eXer-
else of all The power intrusted to each in that
spirit of comfy and cooperation which is es-
sentiel to the proper fulillment of the patri-
otic obligations which rest upon us as faith
full servants of the people. The jealous
watchfuness of our constituents, great and
small. supplements their sufrages, and be-
fore the tribunal established every public
servant should De judged.

Life Saving Service.

The pumber Of stations in commission at
the close of the year was 203; number Of dis
asters to vessels and craft of all kind within
their field of action was All. The number Of
persons endangered in such disasters was
2,439, of whom 2,42S were saved, and only 11G
lost Other lives which were imperiled,
though not by disasters to shipping, were
rescued, and large amount of property was
saved through the aid Of this service The
amounts of maintenance during the year
were $50, 847, 443. The work Of the
COAST AND GEoDETIC SURVEY
was during the last fiscal year carried on
within the boundaries and off the coasts Of
thirty-two states, two territories and the Dis
trict Of Columbia. In July last certain ir-
Irregularities were found to exist in the man
agement of this bureau which led to prompt
investigation Of it's methods. The abuses
which were brought to light by this exami-
nation and the reckless disregard of duty
and the interests OF the government devel-
oped on the part of some of those connected
with the service made change Of superin-
tendency and a few of its other officers
necessary Since the bureau has
been in new hands an introduction Of econ
omies and the application of business meth
DDS have produced an important saving to
the government and a promise OF more usefui
results. This service has never been regu-
lated by anything but the most indefinite le-
gal enactments and the most unsatisfactory
rules. 1t was many years ago sanctioned,
apparently for purpose regarded as tempo
rary and related to survey of our coast.
Having gained place in the appropriations
made by congress, it has gradually taken to
itself power and objects not contemplated in
its creation, and extended its operations until
it sadly
NEEDS LEGISLATIVE ATTENTION.
So far as further survey of our coast is
concerned, there seems to be propriety in
transferring that work to the navy depart
ment. The other duties now in charge Of
this establishment, if they cannot be profita-
bly, attached to some existing department or
other bureau, should be prosecuted under
law exactly defining their scope and purpose,
and with careful discrimination between
the scientific inquiries which may properly
be assumed by the government and those
which should be undertaken by state author
ity or by Individual enterprise.
1t is hoped that the report of the congress
sional committee, heretofore appointed to in
vestigate this and other like matters, VIII aid
in the accomplishment of proper Legislation
on this subject. The report OF the secretary
of war is herewith submitted. The attention
of congress is invited to the detailed accounts
which it contains of the administration OF his
department and his recommendations and sug-
gestions for the Improvement of the service.
The army consisted at the rate OF the last
consolidated returns of 2,154 officers and
"a. 7O5 enlisted men. The expenses OF the
departments for the fiscal year ended juno

a just and equitable plan. The proposition

just and equitable plan. The proposition
with which we have to deal is the
reduction Of the revenue received by the
government and indirectly paid by the people
from custom duties. The question of free
trade is not involved, nor is there now any
occasion for the general discussion OF the
wisdom or expediency of protective system.
Justice and fairness dictate that any modif-
cation Of our present laws relating to revenue,
the industries and interests which have been
encouraged by such laws, and in which our
citizens have large investments, should not
be ruthlessly injured or destroyed.
We should also deal with the subject in such
manner as TO protect the interests of Amerl-
can labor, which is the capital of our working
men. Its stability and proper remuneration
furnish the most justiflable pretext for pro-
tective policy within these limitstions. A
certain reduction should be made on our GUS
toms revenue. The amount of such reduction
having been determined. the inquiry follows
where can it best be RENTED and what arti-
Giles can best be released from duty in the in
terest Of our citizens. think the reduction
should be made in the revenue derived from
tax upon the imported necessaries of life
We thus directly lessen the cost of living in
every family of the land, and release to the
people in every humble home larger meas
ure of the rewards of frugal industry.

Sanitary Matters.

The supervisory surgeon general reports
that during the fiscal year Al, TIA patients have
received relief through
THE MARINE HOSPITAL SERVICE,
of whom 12,S03 were treated in hospitals and
2S,911 at dispensaries. Active and effective
efforts have been made through the medium
of this service to protect the country against
an invasion of cholera, which has prevailed
in Spain and France, and the smallpox
which recently broke out i'll Canada.
The most gratifying results have attended
the operations ofth life saving service during
the last fiscal year. The observance of the
provision of law requiring the appointment Of
the force employed in the service to be made
'.solely with reference to their fitness and
without reference to their political or party
affiliation,' has secured the result which
may confidently be regretted IN any branch
of public employment where such a rule is
applied as consequence. This service is
composed of men well qualified for
the performance of their dam
gerous and exception ally important duties.

Steamboat Insnecfion.

30th of June, 1855, was composed of 140 per-
sons, including officers, clerks and messen-
gers. The expenses over the receipts were
S13S,s22.22 during the fiscal year. The special
inspection of foreign steam vessels, organized
under the law passed in 1882, was maintained
during the year at an expense of 1854. So.
Since the close Of the fiscal year reductions
have been made in the force employed, which
will result in a saving during the current year
of $4,000 without affecting the efficiency

cause of hostlities there, and the
claims of certain citizens of the

Hayti during the past year, by
reason of the exceptional treatment

who on suit by creditors residing in the Uni

and under the option of q Haytian statute
was denied relief secured to native Hay tan.

OUR RELATIONS WITH MEXICO
continue to be most cordial, as BELTS those of

as the nature and growing consequences of our
institutions and geographical propenguity
The relocation of the boundary line between
the United States and Mexico, eastward of

apprehend no difficulty in securing a pro-
longation Of the period for it's accomplish

treaty with Mexico still awaits the stipulated
legislation to carry its provisions into effect,
for which one years additional time has been
ecured by supplementary article signed in
February last and since rectfed on both sides.
As this convention, so important to the
commercial welfare of the two adjoining
countries, has been coustitutionally confirmed
by the treaty making grounds to express the
hope that legislation needed to make it effec-
tive may not long be delayed. The large in
