THE CONDITION OF CROPS.

This weeks Farmers Review will say.
Correspondence from the thirteen states
covered by our crop report shows that
rains have been abundant and timely all
over the territy save in portions of Kan
sas and Nebraska. In the latter state
drouth still prevails in the southern tiers
of counties. Local showers have fallen
IN other parts of the state, but not SUI
ficient for the best growth of crops. In
Kansas a majority of the counties in the
need rain. In the eastern part
fallen, and crops already show the bene-
fetal effects.
Since our last report the outlook for
the oat crop has materially changed. In
Illinois, Missouri and Kentucky thous-
ands of acres have been completely de-
stroyed by the grain-plant louise. This.
in connection with early and prolonged
drouth In the west and northwest, bids
fair to reduce the crop 20 10 % per cent
below the average yield. At this date,
Wisconsin appears TO be the only state
In the above mentioned territory that is
likely to harvest full crop.
Wheat also has been damaged by the
grain plant louise, but to a less extent
than oats. Reports from correspondents
in Illinois, Kansas and Kentucky rela-
tive TO winter wheat show improvement
in condition, particularly in Kansas; but
from all other states in the winter wheat
belt come reports of a decline in condi-
ton.
Reports from South Dakota concerning
spring wheat are very encouraging.
North Dakota and Minnesota reports are
not SO reassuring, still they promise a
fair yield. Iowa reports averages about
the same as those of last week. The
average of condition is very low. Many
correspondents in that state report wheat
almost runined by drouth. Corn is late
in all the states, but in general is a good
stand and is making satisfactory growth.
In western Kansas gophers have greatly
annoyed farmers. Our correspondent in
Ellis county, that state, estimates the
injury from that source TO corn in his
vicinity at 70 per cent. Cut worms have
inflicted considerable damage in South
Dakota.

GEORGIA "POLITICS."

a while ago political matters in Georgia
appeared to be in as much of tangIe as
IN any other quarter, if not more so, but
the smart Democrats put their heads to-
gether and have succeeded, So it is as
serted, in Strengthening out the tangle
And this is the way they did it. Colonel
Livingstone, a Democrat, took a notion
to go to the United States senate to sue
coed Old Joe" Brown. who said he had
enough and was ready to quit About
the same time Governor Gordon conclud-
ed that he would like to go back to the
senate (having recovered from the state
of impecuniosity that forced him out of
Of the senate several years ago., and he
wrote a letter that captured the Alliance
like molasses catches flies. That left the
way open to the governors office and
Colonel Livingstone headed his pegasus
in that direction. But he had hardly
changed his course when he bumped up
against Colonel Northen, another Demo-
cratic convert to the Alliance faith.
Here occurred the real tangle. Both the
colonies were persistent and each had a
following in the Alliance. Finally it
was decided, as if by the toss of n cop
per, that Northern should man the helm
Of state, and Livingstone try for con-
gress from his district. Thus the cruel
war is over, and thus the willy Dems
knock the toothsome simmons. And
everything is lovely among the goober
grabbers, apparently.

ANOTHER BIG DEAL PROPOSED.

The rUmOr is revived in the east that
the Santa Fe is attempting to gain con,
troll Of the Missouri Pacific system.
Combining such great systems would be
the most gigantic undertaking of mod
ern times Whether there is any fOunda-
ton for the rImor we know not and
only quote from the New York Finan-
cier, which is recognized as something
of an authority in financial transactions.
That publication says:
"Jay Gould's avowed desire to rid
himself of the greater part of his west
ern railroad possessions because of his
failing health. no doubt first suggested
to the AtchisOn directory the require
ment of the Missouri Pacific. The latter
road has been seriously harassed by
rates wars and by powerful rivals. Its
union with the Atchison would do away
with this. Mr.. Gould, it is said,
purposes purchasing the Chicago &
Alton road, which is at present possible
cause of much trouble to both the Mis-
souri, Pacific and Atchison roads. He
will then lease the combined Missouri
Pacific and Chicago & Alton to the
management of the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe."

VIII New York Blow UP

From the Financier. 49,
The big blaze in the middle of Broad
way at Fulton street last Thursday
looked ominOus, so fierce were the roar
ing flames that burned for many hours
beyond control. Engines were held in
readiness in case the adjoining property
was undermined or something more Sc
rious should happen The earth of New
York is so saturated with gas from leak
ing mains that one should not be sur
prised if it goes off occasionally: in fact,
the fire described did look as if a serious
conf1agration might consume the soil Of
the city, although it was apparently CON
way. New York may be founded on a
rock, but there certainly are a good
many disturbing elements on top OF it,

1t is thought that in ten years the
Quakers as a sect will be extinct in this
country and this includes Pennsylvania
The traveller who walks the streets of
Philadelphia today with the idea that
in them are to be seen the distinct ele-
ments that in times past went to make
up the life of the city finds small trace
of the characteristics for which he looks.
The distinctive dress of the Quaker men
IS practically thing of the past. The
country members may still come in to
quarterly meeting in the scoop bonnets
and broad-brimmed hats, the drabs and
browns of an earlier day, but the city

The Bucket Shop Doomed.

The bucket shop is doomed to the fate
of the undesirable Chinese-it must 60.
The supreme court has said so, and what
the supreme court says goes" nor
stands upon the order of its going. 1t
has been long and bitter fight and in
wolves no end of side issues. But it is
decided and agitation of the provision
market in the future will not be due TO
the unkind influences of the departed
bucket shop. 1t is well. Gambling in
staples is pernicious. and that's what the
bucket shop existed for.

That was not cloud-b burst in this por-
ton of the valley yesterday morning; the
clouds didn't wait until they were loaded
sufficiently to burst, they just opened the
flood gates and let the water out. In
point of fact more water has fallen since
Tuesday IN this vicinity than the aggre-
gate fall for the entire spring previously.
The ground is thoroughly saturated and
to a good depth, and from information
received it seems the rain has been gen
eral throughout the southern part of the
state. 1t is too early to claim that these
last rains insure full harvests of all grow
ing crops without any more rain, but the
seasons will give all vegetation a big
boost towards perfection.

THE SENATE TARIFF BILL,

The senate finance committee has COM
pleted It's work of remOdeling the Nc
Kinley tariff bill. In its present form it
Is wonderful improvement upon the
measure, as 1t came from the house. but
it Is quite probable that it viii be further
amended by the senate before its passage
But should the bill become a law in its
present shape the people will have cause
to feel profoundly thankful, it being so
great an improvement upon the psesent
system as well as upon the measure
passed by the house. The senate bill.
though not perfect as viewed from our
standpoint, is decidedly in line with the
principles and promises of the Republi-
can party for tariff reform. For the
sake of local interests we in this part of
the country had hoped for better things
for the sugar and silk industries than is
afforded by the measure as it now
stands, particularly as to silk-that
feature is clearly in the inter
est of the Eastern manufacturer,
but it was expecting too much to look
for western interests alone to be con-
sidered and given preference in every
particular These and some other fea-
lures of the bill in its present shape are
still subject to criticism, but there are
also many changes that cannot fail to
work great benefits to the people, and
thus viewed it will be acceptable to
large majority in lieu of the present law
or the Mckinley bill.
As before observed in these columns it
was only necessary for the full consensus
of opinion to become known on this, as
on the silver and other questions, to
bring the law-making power up to the
requirements in matters Of legislation.

Here is an extract from the Grafton of
George William Curtis at Vassar college:
Il would like you to take 1900 young
men, and lace them up, and hang ten to
twenty pounds of clothes upon their
waists, perch them upon three-inch
heels, cover their heads with ripples,
chignons, rats and mice, and stick $1,000
hairpins into their scalps. If they can
stand all this they can stand little
Latin and Greek" The enlightened
graduates of Vassar are now wondering
if this was a compliment; and if so, how
so? But whether or no, that form of
curriculum is no worse, but rather pre-
ferable, to the new Massachusetts fad of
disciplining the nerves, by which the
physical as well as the mental makeup
of more than one pupil has been
totally destroyed.
