PROGRESSIVE VICTORIA.

Australian Political Experiments Tha
Have Proved Very suecessfal.
In Victoria-the most progressive Of
the Australian colonies-telegraphs
railways and irrigation works, which,
in the United States, are in private
hands, are owned and managed by he
State. So far As the telegraphs are
concerned, this is true Of England also.
but the rates are much lower in Victoria
than in the mother country.
The Victorian railways now pay ~
per cent on the capital expended, and
would make much larger returns were
it not the policy Of the colony to con-
tinually lower fares and freights 30 as
to encourage industries and render serv-
ices to the people. This purpose is car
ried so far in New South Wales that
school-children are conveyed free Of
charge ON colonial railways. while in
Victoria remissions Of fare are made to
special classes Of students.
The low fares Of the Victorian rail.
ways are tho more surprising because
the wages Of labor arc about twice as
high Is they are in England, and coal
costs nearly twice IS much. We should
add that street railroads in Victoria b.
long not to private corporations but 70
the municipalities
The eight-hour labor day has been OBJ
served throughout Victoria since 1856.
60 far q artisans are concerned, and In
1855 an early closing law went into op-
GRAFTON. whereby male and female clerks
in shops are relieved from duty ct TT.

Altogether, Victoria is . workers para
disc, high wages being combined with
cheap food, cheap transportation anc

Crop Conditions.


The Iowa Weather Crop Bulletin
makes the following summary of croI
reports for week ending June Goth
All crops have been greatly benefited
except In localities where temporary
damage has resulted from very heavy
rainfall. In general the outlook is
promising for wheat, oats, barley, fax,
miilet. Grass has made remarkable adj
vancement since the first of the month,
the meadows having thickened at bot
tom and the pastures yielding an
abundance. Corn has made good pro-
gress, the only drawback reported be-
ing lack of sufficient cultivation on &C.
count of excessive rains. With favor
able conditions in the remainder of the
season the cribs Of the state will be
fairly well filed"
The reports of Audubon county OBJ
servers are also given: Enough rain
and to spare. No harm yet done, but
warm, dry weather Ia needed. Corn all
cultivated once. Rainfall 200.
Gray Corn is growing very fast.
All crops looking better. Have had
steady rain for the past twenty-fOur
hours, and looks as though we were go
ing to have more; which is not needed.
