THE CROPS.

Reports from the spring wheat re-
that the recent showers have greatly
improved crops in that section, espec-
tally late wheat, while warmer wealth
er and more rain would be beneficial.
ally improved in the states of the Mis-
souri, valley and in Illinois and Iowa,
and wheat is heading in fine condition,
except in the central counties of Illi
nois, where insects are injuring grain,
and the hay and oat crops will be
short. Corn planting is about COM
pleted, but the cool and cloudy wealth
er has retarded growth.
In the states of the Ohio Valley and
in the Lake region the crop prospects
were greatly improved by recent rains,
although in many sections the rain
fall has not been sufficient to COM
pletely relieve crops from the previous
drouth conditions. Frosts on the 18th
caused some injury to crops and fruit
in Michigan and in the northern por-
tions of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.
Crop prospects were also improved in
Tennessee and Kentucky, but the
light rains have given only temporary
relief In Tennessee rust and small
insects are damaging wheat.
Texas and Western Arkansas report
weather favorable; cotton plants
small but in good condition, deep root
ed and well cultivated; corn in tassel,
and general prospects promising. Con-
siderable injury resulted from hail in
Texas, where these storms covered an
area of twenty-five thousand acres.
The weather continues dry in the
South Atlantic states, and it was toe
cool for cotton; the stand of corn and
cotton is poor, and in some sections
corn is being replanted. Light rains
revived crops in the northern portions
of the South Atlantic states, but the
ground continues too dry.
| Late rains have improved crop con
ditions in New England and the Mid
] die Atlantic States; frosts on the 16tl
and 18th slightly damaged crops ant
/ fruit in New York and New England
and grass and grain are below the av
erage; many grapes and strawberrie'
are killed, and, owing to cool weather
crops are growing slowly. New Jer
sey reports root crops much improv
ed, peaches full and promising, somt
varieties of pears falling badly. Penn
sylvania reports late rains not gener
al, wheat in good condition, but Ga
and hay crops short, fruit prospect
good. Colorado reports rain over tn
whole state greatly benefited crops
but where excessive caused some dam
age to alfalfa; rains are not favorable
however, to the sheep industry.
Oregon reports excellent growin
weather; wheat and rye heading
fruit uninjured and promising. L
Northern California cool weather wa

The decrease in receipts at the GUS
tom houses of the country ought to
be gratifying to protectionists. 1t in
dicates that the high tariff is discour
aging importations of protected arti-
cles, and the justifable inference is
that those articles are being manufac
tured more extensively at home. The
total of imports is increasing, but this
increase is almost entirely due to the
importation of articles on the free list,
or which we do not poduce in large
quantities as yet. Some of the demo-
cratic organs are fearful lest the rev.
enue will not equal the appropriations,
but if that condition of things comes
to pass they are the last persons in the
world who should be troubled about
it. Will not the good democratic doc
trine of reducing the surplus" be
practiced? But the republican method
of reducing the surplus has one merit
with which democrats have little sym
pathy; it protects home industries.
The democratic method would permit
large foreign importations with duties
so low that the total revenue would
be reduced The distinction is impor-

The observance of Memorial Day
seems to have lost none of its tender
and sacred character. In spite of the
counter tendency to make the day one
of pleasure and recreation, the inroad
detracts but little from the sOlemnity
and interest which attach to this holi-
est of days. The thoughtless and mer-
cenary may turn the day from its
beautiful purpose, but the hearts of
the people respond as warmly and ten
derly to the days demands as ever.
The expression of public gratitude
is one of the most interesting features
of Memorial Day. Indeed we question
if the time has not arrived when the
labors and direction of the days OBJ
servance should be borne by the pub
lie, in a large part at least, and the
veterans thus made the recipients and
not the bestowers of the days cere-
monies. We well understand that the
prevailing rule requires the opposite
observance, but it is a mistake, as will
appear in due time. If public inter
est in this day is not to be turned in
ignoble directions, the great public
must be invited to share the ceremo-
MES of the day in the closest relation.
Let the public bear the heat and bur
den of Memorial Day, and there will
be no lack of public interest in its ten
der and beautiful requirements.

Secretary Foster is going to carry
his investigation of the immigration
problem into Europe. He will send
special commission abroad to find out
to what extent foreign powers are
shipping off their paupers and crimin-
ais to America and to report what
measures should be taken to correct
this nefarious practice aud to bring
steamship lines to realizing sense of
their responsibility to the laws of the
United States. 1t is hoped that the
commission will bring together in a
shape that will make it a basis for leg
islation a record of the practice of
many European Governments is not
pressing indictments, on the under
standing that the party indicted shall
forthwith emigrate to the United
States. The files of foreign papers
might be consulted with advantage
by the commission. The minor Euro
pean papers, those issued in the sec
ond class cities, and which publish
police court proceedings in detail, af-
ford plenty of evidence of connivance
of magistrates in using the United
States as big Botony Bay.

SECRETARY BLAINE.

Boston was recently favored with
visit from Mr.. Blaine, and though his
condition of convalescence from his
recent illness prevented his friends
from paying their respects, there was
qualification at the announcement
that his health is in a fair way to be
re- established. The past year has
been a particularly arduous one for
the Secretary. In no twelve months
probably, since the war has the State
Department been called on tos deal
with so many important problems,
and in no twelve months has so much
been accomplished. Reciprocity, the
Behring Sea dispute, the italian affair,
these are the more salient, only, of
the subjects that have engaged the
attention of the President and his
chief adviser. With characteristic en-
ergy, Mr.. Blaine has put himself heart
and soul into his public duties. He
can have the satisfaction of rejecting
that our diplomatic record for the
year past contains many brilliant tri-
umphs, and not one solitary failure.
1t has been an eventful year in our ma
tional history. It is not surprising
that, ,as the heated season approaches,
Mr.. Blaine should keenly feel the need
of rest and relaxation. Somehow, the
old animosities have wonderfully soft
ened with regard to Mr.. Blaine of late
and that he may find new vigor in his
summer home on the rocky shores of
Maine is the earnest wish of all New
England people of all shades of poll
tics-JourndI.

Senator Justin S. Morrill,, in his de-
clining years, seems to be alive to the
best interest of the country. On his
way from Washington to his home in
Vermont, he was interviewed in New
York on the immigration question.
He has paid a great deal of attention
to this subject, and in speaking of the
agitation of the question, remarked
that he sometime ago placed himself
on record as favoring strict laws on
the subject. He believes in not per-
mitting any emigrant to embark for
this country until he has proven to
the American consul at the port of
sailing his fitness in every way.

As to the new call for bonds, the
Secretary is said to be very confident
of his ability to pay off the whole
amount of S51 100000 A. per cents
outstanding without Gripping the
Treasury, but makes the reservation
as to an extension at a nominal rate
of interest, partly as precaution in
case his calculations should not be
justified, and partly to avoid, in case
it should deem advisable, the enforced
retirement of the s23, 100000 of bank
circulation secured by this class of
bonds Nobody will be surprised if
before September 1 the Secretary is
asked by the national banks to extend
the S23, ZOO, 900 of these bonds they
now own and use to secure circulation.
There are probably s1O,OOO,OOO more
of those bonds held in trust funds Sc
curities, the owners of which would
prefer extension to redemption, so
that the probabilities are that the Sec
retary will not be called on to redeem
at the outside figure more than S2O,-
600, 900 in September.
