THE PEACH CROP.
The Report of the statistician of the Ag-
rfcultural Department.

ricultural Department.
The statistician of the Agricultural
Department of Washington in a report
just issued says;
Peaches are a commercial crop in com
paratively few states. though grown
more or less for local consumption in al
most every section Of the country. The
present returns show low condition in
the districts Of principal production,
with good prospects in few states
where the crop is only Of local interest.
Bloom was early in New York and New
Jersey, but the cold weather and frost Of
the late spring did much damage, and
trees are now but lightly laden, with the
'June drop yet to come. Condition in
Delaware is very low on account of long
continued cool weather and heavy rains.
Fruit is dropping badly, and If it con-
tinues during the present month the
aggregate product will be small. The
prospect in Maryland is somewhat better,
though the critical period-the drop of
June-is yet to be passed, and until that
time no definite estimate Of the
final crop can be made. Virginia
returns higher condition than any
state farther north, tho ngh some counties
report the crop badly damaged by May
frosts, The gulf states show crop in
good condition, though of little impor-
tance, while Tennessee and Kentucky
have only medium prospect. The con.
ditions which injured apples in Ohio have
wrought similar damage to the peach
crop, and present prospect is poor.
Michigan reports higher condition, but
the date Of the report was too early to
form any intelligent estimate Of the final
result. The districts west Of the Rocky
Mountains report good condition, and the
crop well advanced.

worse Than a Failure.

New York Herald.
The fact is that prohibition by consti.
tutional enactment is not in popular ia
vor In those states where such an
amendment has been adopted it has
proved failure. A law absolutely for.
bidding the sale OF liquor never has been
enforced in any state, and never can be
enforced in any without a radi
cal change in the sentiments and
habits Of the American people.
In some cases the experiment has
proved worse than failure. Il has re-
suited in an increase Of evils which
might have been lessened by judicious
license and regulation laws Rhode
Island may be cited as an illustration
The people of that state, dissatisfied
with the operation Of the amendment
adopted some time ago, are to vote OF
the question of its repeal this week. anC
1t is generally believed that the popular
verdict will be for repeal.

1T is matter of common experience
ahat the people who advocate prohibition,
and incidentally profess to believe in
semperance, are supercillious and hard to
n man who has been drinking man. 1t
Is matter Of common experience that a
man who has been known as drinking
man applies more successfully and conf
-dsntlY for work or for sympathy to the
man who does not rather than to the
man who does believe in prohibition. So
much for the forcing process in opposi-
aion to the helping process for making a
man temperate and useful.

The naral Mother

Written for the EVENING J0uRSAL
o blest and free happy mother,
Who knows naught OF ancient lore,
Nor the latest news from Paris,
Or what Victoria wore.
Nor cares 10 know who's President,
Or what good Blavatski means,
But studies her husbands appetite,
And sings while stirring the beans.
And heeds not when men are talking
OF the rumors of a war
Between Europe's beer fed monarch
And Russia's naughty car.
While she is dressing dolls for Mary,
Or mending Charlie'e kite,
Such deeds are frRught with value,
And keep the visage bright.
What need we care at nightfall,
When the shadows close around,
About Greek or metaphysics,
When the simple truth is found.
What does earth's kin avail usa
IL shrinks at sight of pain,
And. turns away sad, from childhood,
To which we return again.
Oh blest is the rural mother,
Who cares not for ancient lore,
But kn ,ws how 10 teach her children
bear the cross her mother bore.

MAYOR FITLER, ike any other small
man in place that is too big for him,
gets mad easily. He went to Johnstown
with relief train, expecting the homage
of thousands to the great Il am" who
happens to be mayor Of Philadelphia.
The people treated him respectfully, as is
beftting the chief officer Of town of the
Importance of Philadelphia but that was
not sufficient Cor a big, little man.
He came away from Johnstown disgusted
and consequently his indignation was
easily aroused when modest and timid
reporter presumed to board the train in
search of news. The reporter thereupon
proceeded to state few facts which have
placed the big little mayor in the unen-
viable position of assuming authority
which he did not possess and which rail
ways officials and reporters alike ignored.
"A little brief authority" is very bad
thing to exercise-when man hasn't it.

A LETTER in the Morning News criti-
cizes Job h. Jackson for one of the sug-
gestions he made to the students of the
Commercial College on Tuesday night.
The writer prefaces his remarks by say
ing that he was not there. If he had
been there the manner, appearance and
tones Of voice would have plainly
indicated that Mr.. Jackson was
not accustomed to public speaking.
The composition and phraseology of the
speech showed that he was not dialec-
tician nor master of logic. Hence it
seemed more than likely that he took an
unconsidered and ''shoppy" view Of the
life Of young man, or young woman,
and did not express that happily. The
illustration that Mr. jackson gave to
enforce his dogma, that man should
not ask what his salary would be,
was ill-chosen, unfortunate and probably
misrepresents Mr.. Jackson's position. Il
WAS of mkn who, though competent
and selected to do a certain class of
work. was degraded because he asked
what increased compensation would
come with Increased responsibility. in
creased care and increased labor. 1t is quite
likely that lack Of skill and knowledge

st. Louis Post-Despatch
Thus far electoral reform has been de-
feated in Republican Legislatures only
and has been killed by vetoes when
passed by Republican Legislatures only.
One Of the vetoing governors was Dem
ocrat and the other a Republican. But
the record at this stage Of the fight shows
a majority for the reform in either party.

Dover Index.
The rich manufacturers and protected
monopolies seeing that the preservation
Of their extraordinary privileges de-
pended very largely upon the small
Republican majority in the Senate are
very industrious in solidifying that vote
against tariff reform. Independent of
Vice President Morton, the election Of
Mr. Higgins gave that majority.
1t is necessary, therefore, to
secure his vote Finding that
the most accessible way to the citadel Of
his mental forces is through the door of
his inordinate vanity, they have taken
special pains to make him believe that he
is great man and TO that end they have
made magnificent occasions for him to
ride Lis hobby, (namely, an undisguised
bitterness against Delaware and her in
stitutions) before the gaze of selected
audiences, who are always bursting with
admiration and applause for any one who
looks kindly upon these tariff-fed monop-

A REAL NEeEssITY.-We presume
there is hardly lady to be found in
our broad land who, if she does not
already possess sewing machine,
expects some day to be the owner of
one. But after the mind has been
made up to perchase one of these
indispensable articles, the question
arises as to what kind of machine to
buy. It should be so simply con-
structed that the most inexperienced
can successfully operate it. The other
points mainly to be considered, and
which are the most desirable, are
durability, rapidity, capacity for work,
ease of operation, regularity of mo-
ton, uniformity of tension, and ST.
lence while in operation.
The Light Running New Home
| fills the above requirements, and is
said to combine the good points OF
sewing machines, with the addition
of many new improvements and labor
saving devices.
The price is no higher than that Of
other machines, and every lady who
is the happy possessor of one may
rest assured she has indeed treasure
