MAINE CROP REPORT.
A Favorable Year for the Pine Tree
State Farmers.

AUGUSTA, Sept. 1.-The Maine Farmer
tomorrow will publish its annual autumn re-
view of the crops in this State and say
editorially: The hay crop is about one
quarter larger than that OF last year,
gathered in splendid condition, and never
has been excelled in quality. Very little
poor hay can be purchased in Maine this
season. While large breadth of sweet
corn has been raised for the factories, more
attention than usual has been given to the
cultivation of Indian corn, which only needs
fortnight more of this growing and ripen-
ing weather to ensure large harvest. While
the apple crop has not given the abundant
Weld promised by the luxuriant blossoming,
the crop is all that the trees can well
bear after liberal products for several sue
cessive years. Farmers will have enough for
their own use and liberal amount for the
markets of the world. On account OF the
drouth which has prevailed in many portions
of the State the potato crop will not reach
the average There are slight tokens OF
rust, but no present appearance OF rot' anu
no moor potatoes are found in the market
this wear. Oats are fair, and this and other
grains have been garnered in excellent con-
dition, so that the straw is bright as gold.
The cheese factories have been fully as well
oatronized as last year, but it is easy to see
that these are passing away, and butter FAC
tories and private dairying are taking their
places. A good feature noticeable is the
fact that much milk is fed to calves which
are to be raised and kept on the farm. Al
though the pasturage has been low in some
sections, the stock is well fattened and in
excellent condition for the fall and winter
campaign, and most of the pastures ana
| fields retain almost the verdancy OF spring
| Hay, oats and potatoes constitute the leading
crops. Mixed husbandry has been on the
| increase.

BASE BALL.
The New England League.

PoRTLANDS, 2; IAvERHILLs, o.
One of the largest crowds which has as
sembled on the Portland base ball grounds
this season was present yesterday afternoon
to witness the game between the home team
and the Haverhills. 1t was expected that
the game would be close and exciting one,
and in this expectation no one was disap-
pointed Conway, who has recently been
signed by the Portlands, occupied the pitch
er's stand for the home team Since he last
pitched in the New England League, Con-
way has improved in his pitching, and is
now very effective He retired the Haver-
hills, yesterday, without run, and was
warmly applauded for his fine work.
ORourke supported Conway behind the
bat, and played an almost faultless game.
Couley, for the Haverhills, played strong
game. The Portland team as whole played
an excellent game, and won rounds of APP
plause. The crowd was an enthusiastic and
good-natured one. The umpire did not give
very good satisfaction to either club, al
though he evidently tried to be impartial in
his decision.
The Portlands secured their first run in
the fourth inning. Hatfield made safe
hit, and stole second. Shelters sacrifice hat
advanced him to third. O'Rourke hit to
the short stop. who tried to throw Hatfield
out at home, but failed. The Portland's
second and last run was scored in the eighth
inning. Wheelock hit safe, and stole second
and reached third on wild throw by
Cooney. Hatfield hit to Conley, who threw
Wheelock out between third base and home,
Hatfield in the meanwhile reaching second.
He stole third, and scored on Shelters safe
hit. The detailed score follows:

4 CAPTAINS CLAIM.
Complaint in RockIand that Our
Government Does Not Protect Its
Subjects

Capt. Cyrus B. Averill of this city, whose
bark, the Surprise, was wrecked and plum
dered on the coast of Madagascar last win
ter, and who made demand upon that govern
ment for indemnity, is in receipt of inform
alton from Tulear that shows how the U. S.
government Invariably leaves its subjects in
the lurch when called upon to protect them
from abuse by foreign powers.
Shortly after the pillaging of Capt.
Ayerilfs bark Z. S. corvette, the Lancas-
ter, Commodore Potter, was dispatched to
the Madagascar coast to demand indemnity
from the local chiefs for for their pillage and
insults 1t seems the corvette was ON the
ground from the 18th to the 22d of March.
Commodore Potter made demand upon King
Lahymerlsa, the leading chief, for ten tons
OF orchilla weed, valuable dye-stuff worth
$3.50 ton. This the United States repre-
sentative SAID must be gathered and ready
ior To-! delivery within sixty days, in which
time the commodore with his war vessel
would return, when if these demands had
not been complied with the tribe might ex-
pect to be visited with condiGn nunis6ment.
Then the doughty commodore sailed away,
tossing NeIy plS. sixty days came and went
and no war vessel flying the stars and stripes
appeared in the offing. The white popula-
tion OF Iuiear grew anxious, the natives in
solent. Ninety days had elapsed when the
letter conveying this information was writ

LABOR CONVENTION.
Preparations for the Great Meeting
to be Held In Chicago.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-The committee of 81
appointed at a recent labor meeting to make
preparations for the labor convention was in
session last night. None but members Of
the committee and anarchist sympatizers
were admitted to the council. Among the
number was General Parsons, brother of one
of the convicted men. He, with others is
using most strenuous efforts to obtain the
freedom of the convicted anarchists by means
of the ballot.
The socialist who has been prime mover
in all local labor movements, and who Is
thoroughly conversant with the object OF the
present political movement is Joseph
Gruenhut. He said last night that the pres,
ent movement would not have been started
but for the impetus given it because OF the
revulsion OF feeling created by the verdict
against the Anarchists. The labor organl,zo ga Y
ations were divided in factions, which ne
classed as Knights of Labor. Trade ana
Labor Unions. and the Central Union or 30
cialists. ''The other factions" he said make
strong protests that they have no sympathy
with Socialists and declare that the yerdic'
was just as they had wished, but they are
either lying outright or are political pun
mers who have been trying to use the la1ol et u
organizations to further their own selmsl tLatl
ends. The present move will demonstrattS t.t :
the truth of this. The Knights of Labor any any
Trades Unions claim that they will consrH ns !,

primary object is to show the public at large
their revulsion of feeling against the verdict.
The two exceptions are conservatives, VINO
hope to obtain an opportunity to sell out to
the politicians The Central Labor Union
will undoubtedly control the coming conyen-
ton, and their power will be realized after
the election"
The order in which the principles will be
arranged has not been determined upon, as
they are to be elaborated and published by
committee appointed for that purpose. First
comes the demand that industrial statlstlcs
shall be compiled and published. Then they
will ask especially that election days be
made legal holidays, so that the artisan can
vote without loss to himself. The draft
says further, "It is a mere accident to be
Republican or Democrat. mere prejudice,
therefore we have decided to put labor tick
ct in the field and call upon all voters to sus-
tain it." This declaration, it is expected,
will prove most convincing one. The re-
duction of 'over accumulation" in the hands
of indivi duals is the socialistic feature OF the
declaration. Although it is thought to have
been disguised from the general public it
will be explained so that socialist assem-
blies will take considerable satisfaction out
of it.
The committee feels confident that the Ia
Dor party can poll 100000 votes at the fall
election and that virtually the result will be
at their dictaton.

FROM WASHINGTON.
Political Treachery of the Demo-
cratic Congressional Committee.

WASHINGTON, Sept. IA closer analysis
of the latest statement OF the Democratic
Congressional Committee exposes the polltl-
cal treachery of those who prepared 1t. Un-
der the head of defalcatlons, Cnalrinain Aen S5
ma credits the Republican officials with w.,
424.571 from 1861 to 1884 This Is tne total
amount unaccounted for up to this whole
period. Mr.. Kenna forgets to state tnat
large portion of it, probably one-thlrd, dls-
appeared during the administration oI An
drew johnson, when Democratic collectors
held the fort OF the remaining amount
only portion can be properly charged un-
der the head of defalcation. A million or
more is made up of unadJuSted accounts
where there was not even charge OF any
kind of embezzlement or fraud. A few in
stances will show what Mr.. Kenna calls Re
publican defalcations. The accounts of f.
e. Spinner, Lincoln's United States Treas
urer, were something like $360,0O0 short at
the end of his term, owing to some unadjust-
ed account relative to bullion purchased for
the New Orleans sub-treasury. No one has
ever mentioned embezzlement in this case.
After the retirement Of Mr.. Spinner Con-
gress passed an act unanimously relieving
him, yet Mr.. Kenna puts him down as an
embezzler. Another case is ex-President
Arthur. While Mr.. Arthur was collector Of
the port of New York, six or seven thous-
and dollars were stolen by defaulting
clerk This amount was charged to Mr. Ar
thur, until at the last session OF Congress
bill was passed for his relief. Yet, accord
ing to Mr.. Kenna, ex-President Arthur is an
embezzler Mr.. Kenha's statements about
fraudulent treasury disbursements are
equally false. He groups together all unad-
iusted accounts, those that have not been al
lowed, and charges them all to Republican
dishonesty, forgetting again all about john
sons administration.

Mr.. Blaine as Prohibitionist.

From his own lips in private conversation,
as well as from his own acts and utterances,
we know E1r Blaine to be in full accord with
his party in Maine, which has earnestly
championed and sustained prohibition for
the past thirty years-all the while preserv-
ing upon the statute books prohibitory law
frequently increased in stringency-w when in
other States, mainly through the indiscre-
ton OF temperance men themselves, tnere
has been return to the license system. Had
MI. Blaine voted on the question of consti-
tutional prohibition, he would have voted in
accordance with his convictions, in favor of
the amendment; as a Presidential candidate
he deemed it the wiser course not to vote at
all. and the act has been interpreted as one
of unfriendliness to Prohibition. The state
ment is simply untrue.

domestic seed leaf The acreage has been

200 pounds per acre more will make M the
product fully as large as in 1885. On tne
whole the season has been singularly favor
able. hail and wind having done damage only
in small streaks injuring less than 5 per cent.
of the crop in the two valleys while insect tSI
pests have been few, and calico or mottleu
plants, which in some years give the crop an
uneven value, are this year notable by thelr
absence. As a result an unusually large pei
centage is wrapper leaf and higher prices
are expected from 10 to 20 cents per pound
against to 10 cents last year. With. far M
weather the rest of the week the bulk OF the
crop will be harvested by Saturday nlgnt.
