OFT OF HE CITY.

\ visit OF few miles to the highlands
northwest Of the city yesterday in company
with Mr.. Z. V. Healy disclosed some idea of
the conditioned crops in that vicinity. Mr..
Healey's field Of corn containing eighty
acres was in fine condition and averaged
well throughout the whole piece with an ex-
cellent prospect of beautiful harvest. The
corn crop predominates in acreage, but the
oats crop Is the largest ever raised in this
vicinity. Mr.. Healy says a much larger
acreage of corr, has been planted this year
than any previous year and no doubt is en-.
teriained that a CREST haryes; will be reaped.
The wheat crop in this section is quite
slim and some crops are left entirely, while
others are cut in spots. NJ. Wineck cut a
field of about forty acres which was thought
TO average fourteen bushels to the acre. In
fact, all wheat fields within the radius of
our travels were slim and hardly worth cut
ting. On our return We found that the
water from the Arkansas river had risen
and backed up to Waco stree; and the
I aUNtA ItsslA-~- NGNAN -
corrals are. were all under water.
One Of the most pleasant places We visited
was the farm Of Mr.. wilkins, where cot
tonwood grove with all lis trees trimmed M
twenty fee, made one Of the most delightful
shades and wooded lawns we have ever seen.
The wisdom Of making the joints pay SIS
month is questioned by many who are
not prohibitionists. The view taken of il
by the authorities i iha; the stuff will be
sold and that the city may as well have some
revenue from II, which Is correct As far IS il
goes, but some Of the joints imagine ths;
the payment Of the SIS gives them license
to sell, and one joint keeper is reported TO

FACTS TO ENCOURAGE US.

Not only Germany and France ana
Turkey have boen been wagIng war ON
American meats, but old Mother Eng
land has occasionally acted in tho same
unwise and intolorant manner. The
ilimsy excuse that American meats are
unsound Is only cloak TO hide the SELL
ish aud ambitious efforts OF native
growers and packers. 1t is, perhaps, be-
yond dispute that we raise and ship
abroad the finest meats in the world,
and TO deny to the poor people OF Europe
the benefits of competition in such a
commodity as meat, is worse than crimi-
nal, 1t is cruel.
But when the war clouds arise our
vindication is striking and our revenge
sweet. They all have to come TO
America then for their and bread meat,
and both are voted of sufficiently supe-
rior quality to meet the uses OF their
armies and citizens.
Tho address of tho British war minis
ter, the Marquis OF Harrington, in the
house of commons day before yesterday
in which he referred to the matter :,
ordering meats from America, ought to
convince Europe that we arc better pre-
pared with better meat TO supply Europe
than any other nation can possibly hope
to do. The minister confessed that Eng
land could not compete with America
in the matter of meats and denied most
alphabetically that any meats received
from this country were putrid or I'M
sound.
The utterances of the British War
Department, through its accredited and
well known Minister, before the House
of Commons, is not only'the best adyer'
tisement our growers and packers OF
American meats have ever yet. had, but
ought to set at rest once for all the
fimsv and baseless opposition in many
portions of Europe to our goods OF thai
character.
Tho simple fact is, and it cannot be
gainsaid that the meat and breadstufls
of America are superior to that OF any
other nation, and that they can as the
MARQUIS of Harrington declared, be FUR
nished to the nations cheaper than they
themselves can raise them. And these
great articles, the basis OF agriculture
are the basis of our wealth, and IL can
not but be encouraging to the American
people to SEQ the leaders of though
there admitting their superiority ano
confessing their dependence upon tho
United States in an emergency.

TITS AN ILL WIND" ETC.

The depression in all kinds OF manu-
featuring throughout the north anu
east, last year, has had peculiar put
eminently satisfactory effect upon the
south. Artificially and unnaturally
stimulated by the government eastern
manufactures oyerproduced and then
lost money, Far from the fields OF the
raw material it was impossible for them,
under such depressing circumstances,
to compete with tho factory built at the
home of the natural product, where
business, and profitable business, too, Is
always possible without artificial or
outside aid. Gradually this fact has
dawned upon eastern and northern
capital until it has begun to come south
Instead of, as of old, carrying the
material thousands of miles to be
worked up and then be shipped back,
capital up east has determined to come
to the raw product, and work upon plain
business principles.
This fact is proven by the constant
growth of southern manufacturing and
mining enterprises, even while LOUD
complaints of "hard times" are heard
and failures are seen in those lines in
other portions of the country.
Figures recently published by COM
petent aud reliable authority show that
last year, memorable for its slight
times" in IA southern states 1866 new
enterprises, with an aggregate capital
of sos, 100000 in round numbers, are re-
corded. The record is most creditable
and gratifying one for the south.
We are building cotton and wooler
mills at our own doors, opening up oul
own minds, providing ourselves will
food from our own fields, and otherwise
rapidly placing ourselves in an entirely
Independent position.
When the "times," as the word goes
become again universally prosperous
business active and prices good, the
south will be ready to take advantage o
the situation, and quadruple her nov
fast accommodating wealth.

WE sometimes hear of tho oxtr2va-
gance OF European governments as
compared with our own. This is pure
Democratic Boosting. The extent OF
tho English army and navy and the
cost of running them are questions now
attracting attention. The British army
estimates tor the current year, the regu'
lar forces being ten times as large as
our army, are in round numbers about
$50, 100000. For the same time the esti'
mates for the navy are ahc2ls $1,000,
goo. And yet it costs the United States
nearly half as much per annum as ii
costs England to handle the army,
while our navy costs about one-third
what the giant navy of Great Britain
costs. This is Republican economy with
a vengeance!

THE plan of condemning Democrats

some nor salutary. There are very
many old locofocos who propose to make
only one test in the municipal election,
