1t was favorite thought and con-
ceit of the classical writer's that men
were divided into three classes: Men,
who themselves knew what they ought
to do; men, who did not themselves
know, but who are willing to learn
from others what they should do; and
men, who Meth er knew nor would
learn from others what was best for
them to do. If one can not belong to
the choice few who form the first of
these three classes, he ought, at least,
to see that he does not belong to the
ignoble many who form the third. -

was two years since, and he has had no re-

MANNING's PROPOSAL
Has no. as Vet Been Submitted Ia
the Dock Directors.

LONDON, September 1O.-Cardinal
Manning's proposal which is being con-
sidercd by the council of the strike COM
mittee is compromise to the effect that
the terms which the dock companies have
already conceded are to 60 into opera
tion on the first of November, provided,
the men Immediately resume work.
The proposal made by Cardinal Man
ming, which is an independent effort on
his part to effect Il settlement, has not
been referred to the dock directors nor
has it been approved by the council OF
consolidation, several members of which
are out of town.
Burns, at mass-meeting of the strik-
ers to-day, asked the men whether they
would accept the proposal for an in
crease in wages to begin in November.
The strikers unanimously opposed the
proposition. The directors of the dock
companies resolutely adhere to the terms
recently agreed to by them by which the
wages of the men are to be advanced on
the first of January. Hitherto the direc-
tors have held a meeting twice daily.
To-day only one short and formal sitting
was held and several directors were alb
sent. The leading director, Sir Henry lie
MarChant, will resign owing to a decis-
ion of the board in favor of the Lord
Mayors proposal.

SEPTEMBER REPORT
Of the Condition of American
Crops, Etc.

WASHINGTON, d. c., September TO-
The September crop report of the Depart
ment of Agriculture makes the genera
average of corn 81 reduction of nearly
five points, of winter wheat when har.
vested 80, from 92 on the first of July, OF
spring wheat $50 an increase from 81. 9
in August. This makes the general aver,
age Of all wheat $40. The general con.
dItiOn of oats is 80 instead of 91.6; OF
barley $50, instead of 9O.6; of buck
wheat 92.l l, instead of 95.2; of tobacco
76.2, a reduction from S4.4. The per-
centage of stock hogs available for fat
Lcning is lOl, condition 9S.
The corn crop is week late in a large
proportion OF its breadth. On the Allan
tic coast rains were excessive, and floods
injured the fields in bottom lands. Early
IN the season the temperature was low,
interfering with termination and cult
vatlon. Uplands enjoyed conditions ia
vorablc to rapid growth. On the Gulf
coast there was some excess of moisture
until June and July, with drought in
some districts, and in others seasonablc
showers, resulting in crops expressed by
medium to high average.
In the Ohio valley and the Lake region,
there has been marked reduction of
condition during the last month from
drought following the heavy rains of
carly summer. In Ohio and Indiana,
there was previous injury of bottom land
trops by floods. In Michigan and Wis
,onsin the effects Of drought and other
Influences are most injurious. There is
complaint OF drought west OF the Mis-
SIsSippi too late in the season for serious
reduction. Most of Missouri conditions
have been more favorable than in any
other part oi the country and the crop
is very large In seven surplus States
the hSurcS Tor condition are, Ohio 81, a
loss OF six points; Indiana 81, a loss OF
Sin points; Illinois 81, d loss Of three
points; Iowa o., Il loss Of six points;

The reduction in winter wheat as com
pared with the July report is, i'll New York,
Pennsylvania, Michigan. California and
IN some of the Southern States. The
quality OF western grain as shown by its
grading is comparatively poor and will
affect weight and intrinsic value.
The condition of spring wheat is re-
ported higher than III August in the
northern portion of the belt, and slightly
lower in Iowa and Nebraska, as follows

Filming THE LINES
For the Great Reunion at ChatIa.
nOOga Next week.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, September 10
The Chickamauga battlefield station on
the line of the Chattanooga, Rome and
Columbus railroad has been located
about nine miles south of the central sta
ton in this city, on a beautiful plot ul
ground west of the Dyer Home, and
about 300 yards in front of what was
the Union line of battle on Sunday morn
ing September 20, 1868, which was oc.
cupicd by Sheridan and NanclcvcS' divis-
ions, and Wilder's mounted infantry.
The widow Glenn place, which was Rose
Grams headquarters. is onc-cighth of a
mile southeast from the station; and the
point where General Lyttlc icll is about
the same distance south. "Bloodv Pond"
is between the station and the Glenn
place. Longstrect's corps made their
first charge i'll this portion of the field on
Sunday morning, and pierced the Union
line, Snodgrass Hill, where Thomas, with
five divisions, fought all day Sunday is
about one mile from the station
in a north-eastcrly direction; and vine
yard farm, which was the scene of dread
ful carnage on Saturday, is about the
same distance to the southeast. From
this it will be seen that the battle sta
ton is as nearly centrally located to the
whole field of battle rs it is possible to
make it. Excursion trains will be run
from Chattanooga daily to this battle
field station during the reunion of the
Army of the Cumberland, September Is,
10, and 20.
