CROP STATISTICS.
A Decline In the Condition OF whea', cosn >
Oats and Cotton.

Washington, Sept 20.-The statisti-
clans report submitted TO the Department.
of Agriculture shows that there has been
a decline in the condition OF corn for
September. In comparison with Septem.
Der reports Of the past ten yeals only
three were lower-1Sy0, 1887 and 1888.
The September average of the condi-
ton OF wheat as harvested Is SOD; OF
winter, SO, and spring, S1.2. Although
these figures show slight decline from
those for wheat for the corresponding
month in 1891, il is nevertheless higher
than for FIVE years In the proceeding ten.
The condition of oats Is very unfavor-
able, there being a decline since June.
The consolidated county returns of the
present month show a decline of more
than seven points, the average, 1873
reported for the month, being the lowest,
with one exception, ever reported. The
condition of rye and barley has changed
but little, although the harvest season
has been badly handicapped by rain and
storms.
The condition of potatoes is very un-
favorable, the average reported being,
with two exceptions, the lowest ever re-
ported for September. Cotton Is lower
than any September since 1888.

lie began by touching upon the record
Of the Republican party, and showed In
clelr and forcible manner how fraud and
speculation are rife in that party, for
which the President is largely response
bic. He portrayed in Fiyid colors the hui
initiation to which tse' Southern people
would be subjected if the Republican
party were to continue in power, as the
Force bill would certainly become a law,
and every polling place in the South
would be surrounded by Federal officers
to manipulate the returns.
The speaker paid his respects to the
Tmrd party, who, he said, are nothing
more or less than assistant Republicans
and that every vote cast for them is
cast against the cause of good govern
mcnt. and hence against the Democratic
party. which has for 50 long been their
salvation. The speaker closed with an
earnest appeal to the voters to stand firm

cratic cause from now until the polls close

dresses Of manufacturers in the State.
These charred remnants also show that
they were issued under the seal of the
labor bureau and questions asked were

Brooklyn, N. Y, Sept. 20.-Custom-
house officers were to-day sent to the
house of ex-Mayor Chaplin, Of this city,

charge Of having violated several of the

Health Officer jenkins. DR.. jenkins says
that he released them on an order from
Collector Hendricks. and allowed them
to come up to the city. The collector de-
nies that they came up on the revenue
cutter or that he issued any order for
their release. How they got ashore is
a mystery. The fact that DIR. Jenkins
admits he gave them permission TO land
