GOVERNOR BoIEs of Iowa does not
realize the expectations of those who
elected him to any very considerable
extent. He says he does not regard his
election as partisan victory. He pro-
claims that his duty is to be Governor

eral spirit There are people in Iowa
who exclaim, in sympathy with Mr..

only twenty miles of the canal

In THE LAST decade the value of
Southern property has increased from
$9,013, ,436, O05 to S4,220, 1865, 400. That
section now produces five times as much
pig iron as it did ten years ago. The
mileage of railroads has been doubled
and the cotton crop increased by a
million and a-half bales. The hum of
manufacture sounds the knell of a past
age and the supremacy Of King Cotton,
while more extensive than formerly, is
no longer assured.

STRIKE IN CHICAGO.

Great Strike Of Carpenters Which May Lead
to the Idleness OF $4,000 Men.
CHICAGO, April s.-The carpenters.
strike took place yesterday morning ac-
cording to programme and it was esti-
mated that 1000 men were out The
carpenter work on nearly all the large
Jobs has been brought to q standstill.
The strike is for eight hours as days
work, with wages at 40 cents per hour.
A great many OF the non-union men
quit work out OF sympathy with their
union brethren and it was claimed that
most of them would join the Carpenters
Union.
1--WE are we'll organized, have plenty
of money and will make fight to the
last notch" said Secretary Howard.
Reports are coming in rapidly from all
over the city, and so far as we now
know there is not union carpenter at
work. In fact, building operations have
been practically stopped"
Secretary Johns, of the Master Car
penters, said that so far as he could tell
about all the union carpenters in the
fClIY HHu JuclE JOOlo' We ouoA1 NV
attempt to at once resume work with
the help of the non-union men," said
he, but will wait until our Thursday
meeting before doing any thing de-
cisive."
Many Of the masons and bricklayers
who were at work on the buildings have
been compelled to lay of because Of
sthe carpenter work on the various
structures being at standstill.
Altogether the paralysis of the build
ing operations in Chicago was complete.
In some places the bricklayers
went out with the carpenters out Of
sympathy, and it was common theme
among them that the en- tire body Of
bricklayers would be called out unless
the trouble should be settled within q
week. In any event nearly all of the
other building trades will have to stop
work soon unless terms are reached be-
tween the carpenters and the bosses.
In that event 3d. 900 men will be idle.

State Dairy Association met yesterday
morning for two days session. The

dent George Morgan, the association
elected F. II. Hill, Of Kansas City, pres
ident pro tenn. and j. Z. Nisley was
made secretary. Reports of the Topeka
meeting and Of the years work were read.
In the afternoon F. C. Moies, of New
York, read an address, "Hints to Dairy
men" Cleanliness and more care in
breeding cows were urged as the neces-
sites of Western dairymen. He ranked
Kansas very high as butter State. Ed
itor ]. H. Monrad, of Chicago, declared
that Kansas led all the Western States
for the quality Of butter produced. F.
Il. Hill, OF Kansas City, saw much
progress likely from the fact
that farmers were giving up the
old system Of tin pan cream raising
and turning over the busine IS to the
creameries. James Anderson, of New
York, denied the claim that 10 cents
would be the maximum price for butter
this year. Improved methods Of ship
ping would make better prices. This
view was concurred in by all dealers

the Report OF tho state Board OF Agricuit-
ure Makes Good Showing.

rhe Report OF tho state board OF Agricuis
ure Makes n Good Showing.
TorEKA, Kan, April 6.-Secretary
Mohler, Of the Agricultural Department
has issued his crop report Us follows:
Reports now in from nearly 500 cor
respondents OF this board representing
lO5 of 100 counties of the State clearly
indicate that the agricultural condition
throughout the State ut this date is on
The whole satisfactory. The winter wai
exceedingly mild and favorable to win
tering all kinds of stock, and but for the
cold weather and high winds Of March
the wheat plant would have passed
through to the spring rains and spring
suns unimpaired. From this cause the
plant generally throughout the State
has suffered more or less, and in some
south and southeastern counties the
danger has been serious. In many por-
tions Of the State the condition is excel
lent, and in general way the farmers
Of Kansas have reasons to be enconr-
aged.
Wheat-The increase in area sown to
wheat in the State in the fall of 1889 as
compared with that sown the previous
year, as estimated by our correspond
ents, is "a per cent, which gives total
area for the State Of 1,925, 1888 acres, or
an excess OF 374,391 acres over that Of
the previous year. Eleven per cent is
reported winter killed. The general
condition OF the plant as compared with
full stand and unimpaired vitality is 90
per cent.
Rye-The average of rye is estimated
at per cent. less than last year, and
the condition compared with the general
average for term of years is 96 per
cent
Live-Stock-With the exception Of
distemper which prevailed in many
sections of the State causing loss in
places, there is no prevailing diseases
Horses are in good condition. Our cor
respondents report cattle healthy and in
good condition generally. There has,
however, been an unusual loss of cattle
feeding on corn stalks during the
winter, and there has been much specu-
lation as to the cause. The most careful
farmers who took every known precau-
ton to insure safety met with losses
and the opinion prevailed that the stalks
were diseased.
Hogs-Hog cholera is reported as hav-
ing prevailed during the winter in many
counties Of the State, though generally
in mild form. In some counties, how.
ever, the loss was heavy. At this date
the disease seems for the most part to
have disappeared.
Tame Grasses-The condition OF tame
grasses is generally reported good-in
many counties excellent-though some
correspondents report clover damaged
by the freeze in March.
Fruit-Peach buds are reported killed,
with the exception Of those in some To-
calities in Southern Kansas. All other
fruit buds are apparently in good condi-
ton.
The Season-Farm operations have
been retarded generally throughout the
State by the cold weather in March.
Farmers, however, have succeeded for
the most part in getting their spring
wheat and oats into the ground before
April 1.
