The Western Crops.

MINNEAPOLIS, July 25.-The following
crop estimate is compiled by Col. Rogers of
the Market Record, one of the most reliable
maturing grain in the spring wheat
sections has progressed enough toward ma
turity SO that it is possible to form some
thing like fair estimate of yield. That it
will amount to more than was commonly fig
ured week ago there is not the least doubt.
The greatest trouble is in arriving at approx
imations of acreage that are below and above
average. 1t will be about fair offset of the
increase in acreage with the amount plowed
up and that which was not plowed up. but
will not be cut, leaving the acreage about the
els, which many think not too high. the total
would be 47,000,000 bushels, and Tor both Da-
kotas bushels may not be too high. or a
round up of 49, 900 bushels, making So
600, 900 bushels for both.

Miss Willard and Temperance.

When good and lovely Frances Willard
comes to New Orleans the temperance
cause gains fresh impetus, new members
are added, old tagging ones revived and
the general public gives honest and earnest
attention to the woman's cause, which is
the temperance cause, and find out many
startling things regarding the liquor trade
and the effects of alcohol on the system.
Many persons are in rank ignorance on this
subject, and at meeting the other night
Miss Willard made distinct sensation by
merely stating fact known to all temper
ance statisticians, namely, that the average
life of total abstainer is 66 years and the
average life of drinking man is only 344
years During this present visit South
Miss Willard has plainly declared why
she is in favor of giving suffrage to wo-
men, and why the National Temperance
Union ought to be in favor of it. 1t is be-
cause it will increase the prohibition vote
SO largely as to insure the prohibition
movement success. Speaking before an
immense audience at Alexandria, on Thurs
day night, Miss Willard said: II am not
woman's rights woman. never attended
a woman's rights meeting, or addressed
one in all my life do not demand this
as a right | look upon it as duty by
which we can save the home and destroy
the saloon.' This and whatever else Miss
Willard said was listened to with great at
tention and sympathy.-N 0. Pacayune.
