The statement of crop conditions on
The first day of July prepared by Profss
sor D ,ds se, the statistician of the Agri
cultural Department, and telegraphed to
the press on the 10th instant, is supple
monted by a fuller report giving addi.
rional facts and figures of an interesting
chara, ter. In this report the Professor
says:
TIE Az a of corn is steadily increa sin o
with nuiy tue slightest impetus from for.
ri4u dean nd and still less from the spirit
manufactures. The increase in seven
years, siuce 1879, has been about 20 per
t., aud the present area is about -,
O00, 600 acres. The increase is rapid in
the more recently settled Western States.
for tv reasons: First. From settlement
and ONE making. Second. From sub
stitntl0n of corn for wheat. Settlers find
the de maud for wheat fixed and little
variable except that the worlds supply
aft. cts demand everywhere, while the de.
MAJ is elastic. and may be doubled with
pr es sufficiently low. Wheat is the
sport OF spectators while corn has sci.
dom cen cornered."
OF .he condition of spring wheat the
report SAYS: "The condition of spring
wheat las declined from 9S ) in June to
SO 3 III consequence of high temperature,
driving Winds and want of rain"
The apparent depreciation in June is
l. points, but it would be a scriors error
to apply that reduction to the 145, 900 OOC
bushels OF spring wheat harvested, which
represented a condition of Sc at harvest
ing, ouly three points above the present
condition. Should there be no further
reduction the present condition SHOULD
insure about 100000 bushels. 1t
should be understood, however, that a
loss of vitality So early in the season ex.
poses the crop to further injuries 10y the
heats OF July aud August, and renders it
highly probable that the ayerage condi.
ton at harvest may be still lower. Ii,
this point OF view the injury is more ser
ious than the average reported status OF
the crop would make it. With favorable
weather in July and August, increased
condition may be maintained, though the
| chances ale confessedly against it, Making
some allowance for this probability. a iu
dicious and reasonable Interpretation of
the July report of winter and spring
wheat would show prospect for an iu-
crease of about 50. 600. 600 bushels above
the official estimate for 1885. Results OF
threshing of winter wheat and the me-
teorlogical conditions of the next two
months may easily add 100000 to
these figures or subtract quite as large
an amount.
''Ihe winter wheat area already as
sures nearly enough for home consump-
ton and seed. The average exporta tion
of wheat and Hour for the past five years
has been ZIG, 600, 900 bushels. The present
expectation iavors a product nearly, if
not quite, sufficient for this rate of eX-
pnrtatIon IN addition tn consumption.
The exports for the past Yer are some
million bushels less than this average.

that a lew months seems to have
charged the political atmosphere with
an interest and importance that chal-
lenge our intelligence to account for
the remarkable development. This is
creditable to the intelligence and com
mon sense OF communities, and is
mostly due to wide dissemination Of
the facts and arguments that have
awakened conscientious conviction and
Christian sentiment, all of which has
opened a food of light on the enormity
of the evils that flow from this terrible
curse OF rum selling. The people are
fast coming to see that votes ought to
represent conscience, and that they can
only secure their freedom from the
curse of the liquor traffic by voting for
absolute prohibition.

THE Prohibitonists of New Jersey,
like their brothers in Delaware, took
the initiative in political organization,
and so bold and aggressive are their
movements that the two other parties
are standing off waiting to see what
will turn up next. They are partcu-
larly energetic in and about Newark
where there score or more of breWe-
ries. More than two hundred speakers
have signitied their desire to talk pro-
hibition to the people of the State, and
vigorous campaign IS assured. The
ProbihitionstS of Delaware are far from
having the same abundance of materi
to work with, but down in the hearts OF
the people the same spirit of revolution
is at work here that has come 10 the

With evil acts and words obscene:
And often there they fight and rage
Like wild beasts in a showm,n's cage.

TEMPERANCE IN SCHOOLS.

Among the text books adopted by

Hartford schools are 'Martin's Elemen-
tarv Human Body" and "Dulany's
Physiology" This is done IN compll-
ance with the recent act of the Legs
lature requiring ''the study of physl-
ology and hygiene and the effects OF
alcoholic drinks and narcotics upon the
human system." Both these books had
already been adopted for the public
schools of Baltimore city, and will,
doubtless, come into general use
throughout the State. The first named
work has been prepared by Professor
Martin, of Johns Hopkins University,
and both appear, from such ar eNaml-
nation as we have been able to give
them, to be excellent works of then
kind. The School Board is entitled to

ness in business hours-but we
neither W57tc you to buy nor
invite you to see for the sake of

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
as mere lockers.
We call you visitors some
times for want of a word exactly
right. Visitors seem to imply
some sort of reception. All the
reception you get is an open
house all through; a place to
leave your parcels on check, no
fees; a place to rest in, no fees;
a place to get tired in, no fees,
and nobody looking at you and
wondering how much money
you've got in your pocket; a
place to lunch if you like, and
there you pay; ice-cream if you
like, and there you pay-but the
gist of the invitation is to be a
looker-on.
This store has been a place
to see ever since Centennial
year, we hardly know why; or
rather we hardly like to put the
why into words. There are a
good many why's.
One of them is: it doesn' t
look like a store. There's no
doubt about it though. 1t is a
store. Wehadn' 'tmoney enough
to make it a store and look like
a store all at once; so we made
it a store and let helookingp part
wait. 1t seems to surprise a
good many people that trade
can be carried on in a railway
freight-station-that's what this
was a little more than ten years
ago.
Another is: it doesn' act like
a store, SO they say at least.
There are hundreds, sometimes
thousands, of people going
about and looking-nothing but
looking-nobody sees them;
nobody seems to be thinking OF
wanting to sell them anything;
nobody bothers them-you see
them upstairs looking down,
downstairs looking up, asking
questions now and then and get
ting answered as if there were
no business in sight or in mind.
What are they looking at, talk
ing about, eyes wide open, en-
tlrely at home, comfortable,
CHEEKY peopleo
That's it. that's it. It's a store
that's too busy with business to
worry for more, It's store
that doesn't feel like a store, or
look like store, or act like a
store; but it's all the more a
store for that. It's a store that
isn't 50 greedy for money as
some-it doesn t act like store
but money rolls into it all the
more for that.
1t isn't the old building; it
isn't the bare beams overhead;
it isn't the wide stretches of air.
We are losing these strange
unstorelikc features. The build
ers are raising iron columns all
over the two or three acres with
painful regularity. They are
piercing the floor in a hundred
places at once. They are cut
ting the generous air into com
monpIace flats They are hiding
the picturesque rafters and roof.
They are building a regular
store right over your heads in
the very place Of the rickety-
rackcty old one.
Not a regular store! 1t shall
never be regular store. What
ever this building-wc had to
give up the quaint old build
lng-you made us get more
room-whatcvcr the building it
shall never be a regular store
