Encouraging Reports From the Growing
Crops in Colorado.


Copyright. lSSS, BY the California associated Press
DENVER Coli, June 24th.-The first crop
report ever published in Colorado was COM
piled in to-days Field and Farm. 1t reveals
very t1attering state OF affairs in the agri-
cultural districts of the State Fully a
million and half acres are planted and in
splendid condition. OF all the cereals re-
ported in twenty-nine crop-growing coun-
ties the great forage plant, alfalfa. is the
leading crop and is represented by $50, 600
acres. The acreage of wheat is short in the
northern counties, but makes up the maxi
mum IN the western counties. An increased
planting of potatoes is reported from ali
the districts, and the young crop is doing
splendidly.
Heretofore Colorado has not been con-
sidered q corn country, but reports show
225,OO0 acres, mostly IN the newly-settled
eastern section of the State, known as the
Colorado rain belt aud heretofore the greal
cattle. range country. Nearly 100000 acres
OF cats, largely in the mountain districts.
are III fine condition.
Fruit generally looks well, and the area
of orchard lands is greatly increased. es
pecially in the south and west Grass WAS
never better, and live stock is in magnifi-
cent shape everywhere. Some little dam
age has been done in the neighborhood of
Denver by the wentworth, but its ravages
are about abated now. rhe reports show
that one-third OF the crops in the non
irrigated districts are fully as favorable as
those under ditch. A careful estimate
places the available supply of the principal
crops as follows: Wheat, 1850 600 bush
els; corn, $4,000; potatoes, 100000.

TWO BANNERS.

The San Francisco Aha's patriotic soul
is much exercised over the special use of
he stars and stripes by the Chicago dele
ates as foil to the handana of the De-
mocracy. Our amiable contemporary
claims the flag of the nation to be the orr
iiamme for all the people, and not to be
debased or eheapened, without protest, to
the level of party banner All of which
is particularly philosophical and dignifed,
to be sure. But when one political party
deliberately adop.s for its banner an ar
rangement of colors and fanciful designs
which 1t floats as representing the person
atty of a minor candidate, and that BAN
ner happens to recall to memory the fact
that it vas badge of human degradation
in the "cruel slavery days." when another
flag was opposed to the national emblem in
battle, the opposing party may well be
pardoned for advancing the national colors
to the front as the only banner to which
| they will owe allegiance in a political or
other civil contest. If, as is true, the ma
tional ensign is the property of all the
people, there can be advanced no reasona-
bic objection against one group of them
making it the special object of patriotic
alteration, even in the heat of a political
contest. 1t is out of political attrition of
campaigns, and hastings and heated con-
tention between parties that the admins
tration and perpetuation of the Govern
ment grows. Let a protest be entered
against the eternal cheapening and belit-
thing of political contests between
great party forces. Without them we
would sink to the level of despotism.
The Government is not and cannot
be better than the political activi-
ties out Of which it rises. 1t has its
spring and purpose in the politics of the
country, and that there is something vastly
different between the two is dignifed
heresy to the idea of republic that is
preached in periodical nervousness by a
class of people who are forever deriving
the filthy pool" Yet by the stirring of
its waters We raise up Presidents and Gov
ernorS and legislators, who are scarcely
ever better than the sources that gives
them political power. The Republican
and Democratic parties contend in peace
full fray for term of administration of
the affairs of the republic, according to
principles each advances as wisest and
best. That the one appeals to history and
the national flag in evidence of its greater
devotion and higher patriotism is neither
surprising nor Objectionable. That the
other is as devoted to the flag and the
republic it is not for us to question, nor
yet to prompt it to special methods of
| arousing enthusiasm for its cause. Neither
is 1t for that party to say to its opponent
that by flying the national colors it
cheapens and debases them. The retort
might well be made that the time was
when its political enemy lost more than
half its strength by the attempt made to
blot out nearly half the stars from the
blue field of the banner, and that in SO far
as tradition is Of any value in campaign.
that reference is as legitimate as is the dis
play of the banner in party halls and
professions.
