From over 1000 crop reports from
all parts of the country the R,rai
Ne,0 Yorker concludes that the winter
wheat crop is on the whole good, the
probable yield being 295, 200, 900 bush
els, against $4,000, 900 in 1885. with a
slight increase in acreage. Spring
wheat has been considerably injured
by drought and blight. The yield
will probably be 140,0OO.0OO bushels.
against 145 100000 last year, The to-
tai wheat crop will probably be 49,
100000 bushels against 357 ZOO, 900 last
year. In oats there has been been a
slight increase in acreage. The crop
has been considerably injured by
drought and insect pests, and will
probably yield 600.000,00O bushels.
against 629, 100000 bushels in 1885. OF
rye and barley there will be excel.
lent crops on a slightly increased
area. There is a good stand of corn
and the outlook is excellent for a fine
crop. OF early potatoes the crop will
be heavy and late potatoes are prom
Using, especially in the West.

"A full baigade of the old soldiers

"A full baigade of the old soldiers
OF the Union army march off to the
eternal camping grounds every year."
This came from an ex-official of the
Pension Department, and it was call
ed out by the remark that since the
war $50 prominent officers of the old
Army of the Tennessee had died.
1.-THE boys are going," he continued,
''at the rate of three or four thousand
q year, and estimate that every two
weeks full company is mustered for
the last roll call and that every three
months full regiment goes over the
line. -Four regiments a year, forty
regiments in ten years. a grand army
corps of nearly 100, 900 men in twenty
years--at this rate the boys will soon
be gone"

"In my opinion, if we appropria-
ted the revenues in putting the cOun-
try in a proper defensive position,
there would be no occasion to deal
with this surplus; but failing this
and treating reduction as the fixed
policy of the country, | will vote fol

of the country, which does not pur
pose the means by which its redund
ant revenues shall be brought bach
