CroD bulletin.

Dry, very warm and sunny weather
continued until Thursday and Friday
when numerous light and heavy local
showers fell, especially in the central and
southern portion. much needed and bene-
fetal to corn and growing crops. But the
rains were badly distributed and many
fields of corn, tobacco, etc, are still suf-
fering for rain. Wheat and rye thresh-
ing continues and the reports as to the
yield continue to be very gathering. Oats
cutting has begun now everywhere and
in most localities the yield is reported
good. Hay is nearly all secured in best
condition, but timothy hay IS not all
made yet. In some fields the yield Of po-
tatoes is not so good as in others. Pas
turage is getting short and water scarce
in some counties. In some localities OF
the northern portion there are apples in
abundance. Corn is in silk in many To-
calities and even in fields where no rain
fell it stin looks green and hardy. Some
seventeen-year locusts have arrived in
the northern portion. Blackberries
need rain TO make a good crop.

KEEP IT nrroRE THE PEOPLE.

Before the last congress had been in
session three months the Republicans
began to denounee it as do-nothing
congress, their object being TO dis
credit the majority before the country
in advance. And from that day TO
the present the harpies throughout
the country, big, little and indiffer-
ent have continued to echo the asser.
tion The declaration is as false as
the spirit that prompts IL.
What did the Democratic party do?
When Mr. Cleveland succeeded
benjamin Harrison to the presidency
he found the nations treasury in a
bankrupt condition. although he had
left it, four years before, with over a
hundred millions in gold as a surplus,
and by the operation OF the Sherman
silver purchase law under the discre-
ton of Republican secretary of the
treasury, gold was leaving the Gun
try ia a stream that threatened 10
completely deplete il within a short
time. The condition was such that
congressional action alone could
change it and that was imperative.
Congress was convened in special ses-

sion and at once set about the work of
relief and accomplished il rs far as the
repeal Of the ruinous law could effect
Il. This was done with reasonable
prom ptness, despite the obstructive
tactics Of the combined and determ-
ined opposition.
Following the repeal OF the Sher-
man law, which stopped the drain
upon the treasury, the good begin
ming was followed up by the Demo

Nor is this all the Democrats did
though it is enough to convict the ira
duccrs OF the party of willtul misrer

DEMOCRATIC REFORM.

One Of the wisest acts passed by the
last congress, and one that will effect
n long needed and beneicent reform,
is the measure introduced in the house
by Representative Dockery OF Mis-
souri,, providing for the appointment
of a commission to investigate the
various departments at the capital
with view TO wedding out their sur
plus of employees. 1t is notorious
fact, made apparent during Mr. Cleve-
lands former administration, that the
departments at Washington have been
oyerrun with sinecures, but having
been placed upon the pay roll OF the
government under the patronage sys.
TEN, it has been next to impossible
for the heads Of departments TO cor
rect the abuse. 1t is an open St cret
that the Dockery commission is the
result Of Secretary Carlisles recon.
mendation To congress for remedial
legislation. The commission set to
work as soon as congress adjourned,
the first point Of their attack being
the treasury department, The first
fruit Of their work has been the lop-
ping off OF thirty supernumeraries in
that department already.
The evil complained of and which
had grown uatil it had become a
serious burden upon the national
treasury and detrimental to the efii-
cheney of the public service, was the
result of the practice of congressman
and senator's of making demands for
places for friends and relatives and
d .sappointed office seeking constitueE = Is
and once ths name of such importu-
nate was placed on the roll 1t re-
mained thore until the end OF that ad p
ministration and his removal then
simply made a place for some other
victor Of the spoils
No effort was ever made by Republi-
can officials or a Republican congress,
so far as the public know. 10 correct
the harmful and burdensome abuse,
but it came in line with the Demo-
cratic pledges OF reform, and they
have begun the work with degree of
energy aud promptness that promises
a thorough regeneration of the ad-
ministrative system. There will be
lots Of houndering and squeAling as
the good work progresses, but 1t will
be none the less thorough and effec-
tive for that

REPUBLICAN latter-day advocates OF
silver coinage invariably hitch on a
proviso demanding that it be done by
international agreement. We have
waited for that until it is apparent to
every body that IL will never come
until we act independently. If we are
to have the coinage of both metals,
the products of this country, coined
without charge and maintained on q
parity, 1t must be done through
proper legislation by congress without
regard to the action or non action OF
other governments and countries.
