Tho Professor Make. Another Attack ON
the Statesman.
LONDON, April l2.-Prof John Tyndall,
in an article IN the Union, says: mir.
Gladstone, with his capacity for verbiage,
fails to conceal his lack OF wisdom. The
Liberals know it, vet follow him in course
OF deadly peril to the nation-a course re-
solved upon without reflection, or counsel
or control from the Liberal party. The
bulk Of the party double back on their own
steps and fOrswear their old aims, not con-
tent with running dog-likc after q leader
who thinks too meanly OF them to even cnn-
SUIT them. They turn and rend the very
flower OF the Liberal flock. some Of whom
were Liberals Of the soundest fiber, ut Q
time when Gladstone, quite as couf lent of
his own infal.i0ility then as now, was IN
dustriously weaving the shoddy Of used up
Toryism. 1t is q consolation to know that
Mr. Gladstone is unlikely to be again in
power. He has already done his utmost to
ruin the country which ought to recollect
the words Of Carlyle-'A minister who il
wicked enough 10 propose to sever Ireland
from England deserves to have his head
brought to the block"

Adverse to Alien Landlord,sm.

WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator Wilson,
OF Iowa. yesterday presented resolutions
adopted by the Iowa State Legislature,
reciting that the lands of nations should be
owned by the citizens exclusively, that
large amounts OF the Nations lands are
owned and controlled by aliens. and that
the continuance of this evil will result in
the introduction Of foreign systems Of
landlord m, thereby depressing the labor
interests OF our Nation. 1t is, therefore,
resolved that the ownership Of land within
the limits OF any State or Territory of the
Nation by nonresident aliens is an evil,
threatening the prosperity OF the Nation,
and it is recommended that a amendment
TO the Constitution be submitted to the
States forbldding nonresident aliens from
acquiring lands in the United States, and
provlding for the equitab Q extinguishnen
Of all titles held by nonresident aliens x

CROP REPORT.


report Of the Department OF Agrscuitofo
On the Crop Prospects.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE April sta'
tistical returns to the Department OF Az
riculture relate to the condition Of winter
gram and OF farm animals. The season
for seeding was long. three months In
some Of the Southern States. and the aP-
pear ance in winter was uneven, although
the plants were rooted. In the States
affected by summer drought there was slow
termination in soils not well pulvcrized,
causing thin stands in such areas. Hence
superficial impression OF condition was
made, which our trained correspondents
saw at once was deceptive and that the
impairment Of the status was slight. The
later rains improved the prospect.
In Southern Illinois the soil was in good
filth and full growth generally good.
In the Middle States the seeding season
was moderately favorable, though IN some
places the soil was dry.
In California, with some exceptions, q
very favorable season for seeding and
termination is reported. Drought in Oregon
DELAYED plant growth.
Only partial protection was enjoyed in
the Northern belt. The variable tempera-
ture Of March seriously injured the plant

some loss from winter killing appears even
in Texas. On the Atlantic coast the winter
injury was very slight. South Of Maryland
temperature was mild and favorable. The
present appearance OF the crop is quite I'M
favorable. As the spring is late and pres
ent growth Of late sown comparatively
small favorable spring weather might
make material Improvement The average
of the present condition is S2-lower than in
recent years, excepting only 1883 and 1885,
when the averages were 10 and 56 respect

The averages Of the States Of principal
production are as follows: New York, 81;
Pennsylvania, 30; Ohio, 6S; Michigan, Is;
Indiana, IS; Illinois, "A; Missouri, 50; Kan
sas, 81. The average Of Texas is 81, and OF
most Of the Southern States higher, from
" in Arkansas to 81 In Tennessee, though
the area seeded is small in all this region.
The average Of rye is much higher,
standing at 93.5 for the entire breadth.
The condition of farm ANIMALS is COM
paratively good. There has been some dis
ease among horses, and hog cholera has.
been somewhat prevalent during the past.
