1t is now a foregone conclusion that
this year Of our Lord, 1883, is destined
to be proud one in the history of this
young State. The season is now suffi-
GENTLY advanced to enable those who
have been anXiouSly awaiting the out
look to definitely determine as to the
crop prospects. And to the farmers
throughout the State, as well as those
dependent upon them, the copious and
continued rainfall from one side of the
State 20 the other has been received
with joyous Self-consciouSness of The
fact that the State is destined to con-
tinue on in its proud, progressive career
as the banner agricultural State of the

and the most beautiful babies, all are
indigenous to its sunny climate and in
atmosphere.
There is an army advancing upon

A Valid Conclusion.

The n. Y. Sun cOmmends the Con-
necticut Democratic State convention
for refusing to commit the party to
Cleveland's free-trade platform. On
that platform it admits that Connecti-
cut, New York and New jersey will go
Republican next November. We ac-
cept the conclusion as valid from the
premises. That the premises will be
granted, we have no doubt whatever.
Cleveland will be nominated. The
platform will be his message. There
will be no tariff straddIe as in 1884 and
Connecticut, New York and New Jer-
sey will go Republican.

KANSAS WEATHER.
Signal Service Summary for the
Week Ending May 18th.

Duling the past week an average fall
of rain has occurred in Sumner, Sedg-
wick, Saline, and Mitchell counties. an
excess in Cloud, Ottawa. Lincoln, Rus
sell. Ellsworth and Barton counties,
while deficiency generally exists
throughout the rest of the State, being
most marked in the southeastern and
extreme western counties. \ heavy
hail storm occurred in Cloud county on
the night of the 10Th.
The week has been cool and more or
less cloudy; but one warm day-the
10th, during the entire week.
The hail storm in Cloud county did
much damage to gardens, shrubbery
and buildings. In Cencordia the dam
age to buildings amounts to between
$1,000 and $4,000.
Corn is about all planted now, and
generally up, but the continued cool
weather is retarding its growth mater
laily.
Grass in many sections is still back
ward, but in the southern, central and
western counties it is in excellent con-
ditiOn.
Wheat is ir fine condition and is
heading out IN the central and southern
counties.
Oats are doing finely.
Chinch bugs are damaging wheat
and oats to some extent in the central
counties.
Seed corn from Iowa has failed to do
well in the central counties. Except
ing corn and grass, all reports show
to be advancing very rapid |
y. Home strawberries are being mar
zeted in the southern counties.
There probably never was time in
Kansas when young trees showed to
,etter advantage.
