IMMIGRATION COMMISSIONER HAGER-
TY's crop report for August covers As
counties, with information received from
ninety-seyen correspondents. The aver
age showing of the principal products is
reduced from 10 to Is per cent. over the
Tune average. The condition of wheat is
GA per cent; corn, IS; oats, 60; rye, II;
barley, g.; buckwheat, 70; fax, SO; wild
hay, 70; tame grasses, Ga; potatoes, 60;
vegetables, 60. Only seven counties report
less than one-half q crop of wheat. The
principal grade will be No. l northern.
The commissioners conclude by saying:
altogether, everything indicates from
one-half to two-thirds of q crop OF the
principal staples. This, with more horses,
cattle, hogs, sheep, poultry and dairy
products, to which every community is
now giving greater attention, will make
1890 a very fair year for South Dakota"

years.
Damaged Most on Sandy Soil.
Since the last report wheat has ripened
very fast in Pcrbina county, and the
damage from blight is more conspicuous.
In the western part of the county where
the land is sandy the damage is 20 per
cent. There WINS some damage from hail
the past week in Beaulieu and Akra town
ships. In the northern part of the county
the damage from blight is not so general,
but enough to affect nearly all the wheat a
little. Harvest is in full blast, and with
ten days good harvest weather the wheat
will oil be in the shock.
Below n Full Yield.
A fine rain at Bismarck has greatly inns
proved the prospect for a corn crop, as we'll
as helped the late vegetables. Harvesting
is progressing rapidly. But very little
thrashirg has been done. The crop of this
county is several times better than last
year, though much below a full yield.
Wheat will not average over fifteen bushels
per acre.
The Damage Ovcrestimated.
Harvest in Beadle county is now in full
blast. Wheat does not seem to have been
damaged by heat SO badly as. was at first
supposed. Fields supposed to be dead
are filling out in good shape. The barley
and fax crops ore good. A recent rain
will help the late sown grain. Cool
weather of late has aided the crops con-
siderably.
Complaining About Grades.
In many places in Pembina county about
one-half the wheat crop is cut. The
farmers are complaining somewhat about
the grade, saying that the great heat has
caused the grain not to fill properly. So
far the estimated yield will be from fifteen
to twenty-five bushels per acre. The
weather is very favorable for harvesting,
being cool and dry.

A Strike In New Zealand.

A general strike of the men employed in

: The South Dakota senators have had in
serted in the deficiency bill q clause provid-
ing for the payment of the expenses incl
dent to the holding OF the constitutional
convention in South Dakota. There is
very little doubt that this amendment will
go through all right. Mr.. Cannon, who is
chairman of the committee on appropria.
tions in the house, says he will object to
the provision on the ground that he has
opposed all appropriations which are not
provided for by existing law, but Senator
Moody, when seen by your correspondent
and told Of what Cannon had said, stated
that he would demonstrate to Mr.. Cannon
that this appropriation is covered by ex-
listing law, as the bills admitting states to
the un,on distinctly provide that the ex.
penses of the. constitutional convention
shall be borne by the government. The
appropriation was originally for $3.50 0
but was cut down to $1,000. Senator
Moody, however, has had it increased to
the original amount of $l5, 900.

K%entucky's Woman Prohibition Candidate
Badly Showed Under.
There has been considerable interest
displayed in the race at Louisville, KY, of
Mrs. Josephine E. Henry for clerk of the
court of appeals, not because there was
any chance for the prohibition candidate TO
win, but because Of tue alleged relations OF
the prohibition. and woman's suffrage par
ties in the rae and the novelty of a female
candidate for office. She received about
1900 votes in the entire state, less than !
per cent. of the entire vote, and less by
several thousand than the usual prohibi.
tion vote. Judge Fountain E. Fox, the
head of ths prohibition party in this state,
as we'll as many other prominent prohibit
t~ionists, refused to vote for Mrs. Henry.
Said Judge Fox. II did not vote for Mrs.
Henry because l do not consider that Mrs.
Henry or any other female sutfragist is o
prohibitionist. They are first for female
suffrage and are simply using the prohi-
bition party or the temperance sentiment
of the country, to tear society to pieces to
crafty their own selfish ambition. After
what I consider q thorough study of the
suffrage movement, socially, %religious'y
and legally, l can see no difference be.
tween female suffrage and intidelity and
anarchy. What the party will do In 1891
or 1892 I DO not know, but I think as apo
litical measur., connected with the prohi-
bition party, female suffrage is dead"
