THE COMING CROPS.
How the DFouth has Erected the
Grains.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-The following
crop report will appear in this weeks
issue of the farmers Revie,U: The pro-
longed and serious drouth which has
materially shortened the spring wheat
crop and caused a serious menace to
the corn crop was partially broken this
week, copious rains having fallen in
Kansas and portions of Missouri. The
injury which corn has sustain cannot
yet be determined from reports. Fully
one-third the counties in Illinois, Mis-
souri, and Kansas report that corn,
while showing the effect of the drouth,
has not yet been seriously injured, and
will probably be an average crop. The
remaining counties report more or less
injury. the tenor of reports being very
discOuraging, declaring that many Of
the fields have already felt the blight,
and predicting not to exceed one-half
the ordinary crop.
gloomy throughout the entire corn belt
for late planted corn. One-half of the
Iowa counties report that serious injury
has already been done by blight and
that the yield for the State will fall
short of an average by from rs to 40
per cent. The corn outlook in Mime
sofa is more favorable, with prospect Of
an average yield. In Wisconsin the
tenor Of the reports does not indicate to
exceed two-thirds of an ordinary yield.
In portions Of the State there has been no
rain for six weeks and all the crops are
a bad failure.
In Ohin, Indiana and Michigan the
Is still favorable for an average
yield Of corn. In Nebraska and Iowa
the wheat yield will be considerably
short Of an average. .
Reports Indicate a very short lax
yield, and 'in the entire western and
northwestern belt the outlook for the
potato crop Is very poor.

'Inconvenience' and the State Treas
ury.

ury.
The people of Ohio have Just closet
up another semi-annual payment of
taxes. with the various county authori-
ties. The taxes are high enough, but
next year they will be higher unless
the counties of the,State cut down their
home expenses. The appropriations
made by the Legislature last spring,
that is, BY the Illegal rump that assum-
ed to close up the session will exceed
the revenues of the State by over one
million dollars. Next year there will be
q deficiency of that amount. Taxation
willgoup. Expenditures will increase.
And 1t will all be done under an adj
ministration that defies and overrides
law and Constitution. Nothing is safe
under such rule. A gang that so bra
zenly violates law will do anything else
dishonest. These funds of the State
are safe only when the law Is obeyed.
Those in control of the five millions of
appropriations, have served notice to
the people that they have no respect
for law, and do not intend to obey the
law when it is ''inconvenient' to do SO.
What is to hinder the burglary Of the
State Treasury.
Nothing but large instalment Of
sinconveniencep can be depended up
on to hinder it.

prescribed by the pension Office for the

end that it may be ascertained if he still

missioner of pensions be made more ap-
parent, or if found that he be in mental

nounces that with its next issue radical
changes will take place, 1t will thcreaf-

that it is necessary frequently to reprint

important addition to the attractions of
