June Crop Report.

The June crop returns of the de
partment of agriculture make and in j
crease in the area planted in maize of
about one and a third million and the
total over seventy-seven millions.
This is only a preliminary estimate
subject to revision after more thor
Ough reports now in progress. The
largest increase is west of the Missis-
sippi river. The condition of the
crop is only medium, lower than usual
at this period of its development In
the Ohio valley the condition is lower
than elsewhere owing to cold weather.
Cut worms have been very destructive
in the west. More advanced fields
in this region which should have been
cultivated four times at this date,
have only been plowed twice The
crop is, therefore, late and dependent
on July weather for improvement,
while exposed more than usual to
possible adverse conditions.
The maize of the northern border
from Wisconsin to Dakota suffered.
from the abnormal cold of May and
early June, but looks quite as well
now as in the Ohio valley. West of
the Mississippi in the subhumid belt
and border of the arid region, the
crop is generally in fine condition.
Though injured at points by overfows
and excess of moisture, the great
American desert is green with the
great American cereal in high develop
ment.
The general average Of condition is
about 80 and the averages of princir
pal states are; New York so, PENN
syIvania IS, Virginia 80, Georgia So,
Texas 50, Tennessee 80, Kentucky go,
Ohio 81, Michigan 70, Indiana 81,
Illinois 80, Wisconsin 50, Minnesota
81, Iowa 95, Missouri 90, Kansas 81,
Nebraska SO, Dakota SO.
The condition of winter wheat is
we'll sustained, notwithstand injury
by storm and food, general conditions
standing at 90 In the heart of the
west the harvest is we'll advanced
and is generally finished by this date.
It is entirely completed in the South,
and threshing is N progress.
The average of condition of princi-
/ pal states are as follows: New York
SO, Pennsylvania SO, Virginia 80,
Georgia 81, Texas Sc, Tennessee IS,
kentucky IS, Ohio So, Michigan SO,
Indiana SO, Illinois 81, Missouri 81,
Kansas So, California 81.
The straw is generally we'll headed
and plump in grain, though in some
places it is somewhat shrivelled.
Fears are entertained Of injury to the
shock, after harvest, which the change
of weather may prevent
The returns concerning spring
wheat in Dakota are very unfavora-
BILE, from results of long continued
drough Rains late in June had i'm
proved the situation but the general
average was consolidated and is 81.
Results are extremely variable from
a good yield down to a bushel per
acre. In some sections as reported
the gram is already heading out with
straw six inches high. The average
of Wisconsin and Nebraska are each
50, Minnesota 81, and the average of
Montana, Idaho and Washington are
low. The general average is about
SO, which is very low at this stage Of
growth.
Rye maintains its condition and
barley declines to about 80.

The newest thing out is in the way
of lightning rods and the present
field of operations is in eastern Iowa.
The agent calls on a farmer, proposes
to take the old one from his building,
pay him $50. for the same and put up
new rods for only $500. The farmer
thinks he has a snap and signs what
he supposes to be a contract. The
agent tears down the old rods and
then drives to town to get the new.
The farmer sees him no more and
gets no new rods, but he finds a nice
new note for $50 in the bank which
he VIII have the pleasure Of paying.

Stand by the Commissions.

In your paper OF the 9TH Inst, you ask
Republicans whether they desire to do
away with the commissions In this city,
and OF course, restore the power Of ex.
pending the city's fluids TO the City
Council. Ispeak the views not only OF
many Republicans, but also OF many
Democratic, when say that we do not
wieh to restore this power to the City
Council, and that In the present con-
struction OF the wards OF this city, such
a change would be suicidal 10 its inter-
ests. The plan Of the same body, acting
az o legislative boiy and raising the
funds for the maintainanee oil the city,
and then as an executive body, disbuisInR
these funds might have been proper
when Wilmington WAS q small city,
which disbursed but comparatively
small amount OF money: but This city has
outgrown any such primitive arrange
meut as this.
Too great temptations are offered for
corruption and x'ravagance, and too
large an amount OF inoney is left in the
custody OF irresponsible individuals, SUBJ
lect to theii cupidiiy 10 be continued
longer.
In all large cities, Philadelphia, New
York, Baltimore and elsewhere, the ex-
pending Of the public funds Is intrusted
to different set OF officials from those
who raise the funds, aud tue departments
that expend the fnnas, ara obliged to
give heavy tonts Tor thu hoLes. disLu g.
meut Of the money.
Not only so, but these officials are
selected with specisl view to their fit-
ness for performing the duties OF their
Office intelligently, which cannot be the
case In the election OF City Council, as
the appointments Of the different com.
mittees are usually made for reasons
entirely irrespective OF their ability for
that special duty.
Nor Is this any deviation from Re-
publican or Democratic u age. Tho
mayor, who represents the whole city,
and not any particular ward, has the ap-
pointment OF these heads of departments
and the plan, which has now been In
operation under both Democratic and Re-
publican administrations, hes proved
greatly to the advantage OF the city In
every department.
We now have an efficient water de-
partment, and the beat water which
we have had for yeara, with all its
machinery in perfect order, besides
the city debt A well managed
health department, and a street and
sewer department, which is giving the
city good streets and good sewers, and
not spending one dollar over their appro.
priatiops. We do not want to go back
to increased city debt, bad streets, sand
lot frauds and general ibenlciency.

qualities of pattos, mirth and passion.
His versatility Is marvel, and his per-
iormance of 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde"

The City Court.
tcoMMUNIoATED.J ]

I wonder how many Of our taxpayers
and citizens have any knowledge of our
City Court and the manner In which 1t ID
conducted. happened to be present on
Tuesday morning and witnessed some Of
the proceedings, and am sorry 10 say
consider II anything but fair. l have
always considered it Lne duty OF Judge
to listen to both parties In the case, then
Try to decide fairly between the two ac-
cording to the law and the evidence.
Now, the Judge showed very conclu-
sively on Tuesday that he had but one
object in view, aud that was to convict
the prisoner at all hazards. Every ques-
tion he asked was with that end In view,
aud In my judgment should say mis-.
construed much OF tho evidence In order
TO convict the defendant.
Would It not be we'll for some OF our
good and fair minded citizens to attend
this court and learn for themselves If the
statements | have made are fair. Any
citizen of Wilmington Is liable to be
called before this court. find II is not
necessary to be guilty of o misdemeanor
In order to have this unpleasantness to
encounter, therefore It seems necessary
for US TO know what sort OF judgment
we are liable 10 meet with. If am mis-
taken and the judge Is honest and fair in
intentions. as every judge should be,
then should say he shows himself to be
barely competent for the position he has
been called to flll.
