The Reporters Stipend.

When the order came up in the House
this morning To pay the reporters of the
Baltimore dailies $3.50 for services rem.
dered the State in reporting the proceed
ings of the House, an amendment was
offered to include Mr. Doyle of the Agse-
ciated Press and the reporter of the
EVENING CAPITAL, which met with some
opposition on the part of the friends OF
the other reporters, and an amendment
was offered by dr. PERCY, of Dorches
ter county, at the solicitation of the Asso-
clated Press Reporter and the Baltimore
ECensng Nescs reporter to strike out the
name of the reporter of the EVENING
CAPITAL OF Annapolis This brought
about lively discussion in which Mr.
Nichols, of Baltimore city, Mr.. Duncan,
OF Baltimore county, Mr.. Laird of Mont
gomery, Mr.. Thompson, of Baltimore
civ, Mr. Percy, of Dorchester, and Mr..
Davis, of Charles, took part. Mr..
Nichols, of Baltimore city, thought it a
great privilege that reporters were allow
ed on the floor. These reporters, he said
were paid by their respective papers and
had no right to receive this money The
Baltimore Sun would not allow its re-
porters TO be a party to this subsidy of
the press by the Legislature.
Mr.. Percy claimed that while he was
in favor of paying these reporters who
had given such accurate accounts of the
proceedings of the House, he was oppos-
ed To saddling this order with a lot of
local papers, which had not been repre-
scented here half dozen times during
the session.
Mr.. Davis, of Charles county, in sup
port of his amendment, denied this asscr-
ton. lie said, probably the littleness of
the gentleman from Dorchester prevent
ed him from seeing over the heads of his
fellow members the representative of the
EVENING CAPITAL, whom he knew from
his personal observation, had been there
every day during the session, and had
kept daily record of the proceedings of
this House., especially the local matters
of his county and he had as much right.
as daily journal published at the Capt.
tol of the State, to this extra pay as any
reporter npon this floor. While his pa
per may not extend over as wide terri
tory as some of the large dailies, this
was no reason why he should be excluded
from the same privileges and benefits of
the other reporters. / am opposed to
making an exception of this paper because
its reports have not been as full as the
city dailies, and / shall support the order
with the amendment
Mr.. Thompson of Baltimore city said
the State had no right to set the value
upon one man labor TO the exclusion of
another. He thought the Annapolis daily
paper had as much right to this appro-
priation as the Baltimore reporters, and
he would vote to give to all or none.
The question on the amendment to
strike cut the EVENING CAPITAL was lost
and the order as amended carried by a
yea and nay vote.

In the House last night motion was
made by Mr.. Ebaugh, of Carroll, to re-
consider the vote of the Anne Arundel
County treasurer bill which had been
referred to the Anne Arundel delegation
Mr.. Cheston, the senior member of that
delegation. said, his county had certainly
been treated with marked indignity by
the House this session. He had never
yet been accused of dishonorable act as
this motion impugned to hun. He asked
only until Tuesday to-day in which to
report the bill. and even this courtesy
was denied his delegation. He said he
had done his duty, and could 60 home
to his constituents with clean hands and
clear conscience. The House could do
as it pleased in the matter. Mr.. Hall of
Prince Georges county made stirring
appeal to the House in behalf of Anne
Arundel county and its delegation. Mr..
Graves also appealed to the deceDcy Of
the House Ia this matter,

Electric Lights.

Frederick is smart little city up in the
Catoctin Mountains, and its inhabitants
are always wide awake TO anything that
will advance the interests of that CITY,
1t fosters and encourages manufactures.
They never 60 to sleep while others are
at work, and the result is that money is
plentiful with them, business thrives, and
tue corners of their streets are not lum-
bered with dudy young men. When a
new enterprise is offered, all hands take
hold, and success always crowns their eff
forts. Last night her streets were illu-
minated, mainly at the expense of its own
citizens, with electric lights, and you bet
they are proud OF the achievement. An
napolis is bigger city than Frederick;
has advantages that Frederick can never
possess; its transportation facilities are
far superior, aud has resources that few
small cities can boast of. Aud yet An.
nanolis has few factories. but little enter
prise, and possesses trade so insight
cant that the wonder is: How do the
people of Annapolis live?" Outsiders see
our advantages aud outsiders are going to
give US electric lights, and build US some
more railroads. Tue electric lights may
wake US up and show us our short com
ings. Should it do that we shall rise up
and call the electric light company "bles-
sed. - There's nothing ungrateful about
us.

CROPS IN MAY.
Tho Winter Wheat shows up Badly-LabOr'
ers' WnReA,

WASHINGTON, D. G., May lO.-The
May report of the Department Of Agricul-
ture, issued to-day, says that the low
temperature and deficient rainfall, with
drying winds and some frost, have re-
duced the condition Of winter wheat in
the Central States. 1t has also been
cool on the Atlantic coast and not favor
able to improvement, and yet the plant
has nearly held its own in this section,
On the Pacific coast only q medium
development is reported. In the South.
ern States changes are slight, several
averages being the same as last month.
Pennsylvania shows decline OF 4 points; /;
New York, 10; Ohio, u; Michigan, II;
Indiana, @; Illinois, Z; Missouri, 2; Kan.
sas, 3. The general average is reduced
o points, from SO to 73. Last years con-
dition was reduced from SS.l in April to
s5.4 in May.
The averages OF winter wheat in the
principal States are as follows: New
York, 10: Pennsylvania, 81; Virginia, 90;
Ohio, So; Michigan, "a; Indiana, 80; llli-
nois, 81; Missouri, SO; Kansas, 94 Texas,
90. Winter rye remains very nearly as
in April, the average being 92.0 instead
Of 9S.5. The condition OF winter barley
is SS.3, promising a medium crop.
Spring plowing is not quite 50 well ad-
vanced as usual. 1t Is relatively later IN
the more Northern States OF the Atlantic
coast, slightly later than usual in the
Middle States, and scarcely up to full
average in the South. Its progress is an
average in the Ohio Valley, but late in
the Northwest, especially in Dakota.
An investigation Of the rate of wages
OF agricultural labor shows that no ma
terial change has occurred since the last
previous inquiry, in May, 1887. There
is slight increase in New England, in
the northern tier OF States from Michi-
gan westward, and in some of the South
ern States. There is no appreciable
change in the Central States. The next
report will give rates by States
