DISRAELI, the old tory statesman, had
a clear head, and knew what Ireland
wanted, but he lacked the fearless hon
esty to give Ireland what his judgment
acknowledged would minister to her
tranquility. He said: "The moment
you have strong executive, religious
equality and just administration, you
will have order in Ireland. These three
tranquilizing influences will necessarily
follow the granting Of home rule;-her
absentee landlords will sell out or return
home; her alien church will cease to
dominate her religious world; her home
government will give her an executive
that will compass the needs OF the peo-
pie, and administer law effectively.

THE old democratic party papers are
whining about democratic organization
and the necessity Of drawing the lines
closer, until some Of the old republican
war horses have caught the fever. and
are clamoring for thorough republican
organization. That is not the wisdom
Of this campaign. The republican party
must be at liberty this fall to make such
local combinations everywhere as will
most seriously cripple the ring demOc-
racy of the state. There is certain de-
feat and no vantage ground for the fu-
ture in present close organization OF
the party. Two years from now, when
the presidential campaign is solidiiying
things, It will be in order to close up the
ranks of the loyal old party, and keep
step with the national music, but just
now let things rest. This is wisdom
according to the LIGHT.

The weekly Summary Of the
Farmers Review"

CHICAGO, Ill, May 3l.-The follow
ing crop summary will be printed in
this weeks issue of the Farmers Re-
UielU: ~
As the season advances, the reports
OF the presence of insectsin the win
ter wheat fields grow more numerous,
but eyond certain afflicted districts
in Kansas, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio,
the reports are of aniisolated Charac-
ter, and do not appear to seriously
threaten the general outlook for an
average crop yield.
Southern Illinois continues to send
in the most serious reports as to raw
ages by chinch bugs. Alexander,
Bond, Edwards, Jefferson and Monroe
counties, all in S1uthern Illinois, re-
port great injury in many Of the fields.
Grenola, Frsnk in and Panomara
counties, in Kansas FELTON, and High
land counties, in Ohio, and Howard
county, in Indiana, report consider
able injury from chinch bugs. Grass
hnppers are reported in numerous
quantities in Jacksonville county,
Iowa; Howard county, Indians, and
in Athens c unity, Ohio.
Looking over the entire winter
wheat bel this promise is still GOOD
for an average yield, but the early
promise that the season was to bring
forth bumper" crop will now be
abandoned. The acreage would moi
warrant such an outcome unless the
conditions were everywhere extreme

Not quite 80 Favorable.

ST. PAUL, MINI May 3l.-The crop
reports to the Pionscr-PreSs for the past
week are not quite so favorable in
their tenor. There has been very
little rain in the Northwest during the
past three weeks and the crops are
suffering fom drouth. The chinch
bugs have appeared in large numbers
in Southern Minnesota, but have done
little damage as yet. On the high
ground along the Northern Pacific
wheat is beginning to show the effects
of the dry weat yer, though no serious
damage is yet done. A Fargo CORE
spondent predicts that considerable
damage win resu from lack of rain
for another week. Dakota SHOWS were
very light the past winter AID the
April showers were generally of the
b 'iefest duration.
