CROP REPORT.

.. S. Department of Agriculture, Wealth
err Bureau. Bulletin No. 10, covering
week ending July 8, issued by the
West Virginia State Weather Service.
General Summary.-In most locali-
ties the conditions were very favora-
bic and vegetation of all kinds made
good growth. The extremely hot
weather has been succeeded by cool
nights and normally warm days with
a fair amount OF sunshine. The rain
fall during the week was unevenly
distributed; in some places the show
ers were heavy enough to wash the
ground badly and interfere with hay
ing and wheat harvest; i'll some of the
western and southwestern counties
drought conditions prevail and crops
are suffering for want of rain, creeks
aid wells are giving out and water is
being hauled, notably is this the case
in Jackson, Putnam and Cabell coun-
ties. In few extreme counties dry
weather prevails and rain is badly
needed. In general, however, crops
made excellent progress and are in
reasonably good condition. Farmers
made good progress with their work.
Cereals and grasses. Wheat harvest
about over and farmers busy stacking,
some threshing being done; the crop
turns out fairly well but is an uneven
yield on account of the crop being
hurt earlier in the season by frost, hail,
bugs and rust, in most sections the
yield is fairly good, the grain healthy
and solid and the straw excellent.
Oats ripening and generally doing
we'll, straw a little short but the grain
is about average; some rust is still re-
ported. Early oats will not amount to
much. Corn made splendid advance
but the last few nights have been a
little too cool; low land corn makes
the best showing, in some places hill
cornneeds rain. Clover harvest about
completed. a generally fair to good
yield Timothy cutting we'll along.
In most sections meadows show con-
siderable improvement and promise
well. Grass d generally fair crop ex-
cept where burned out by drought; the
same applies to pastures but they are
as rule sufficient for stock. Buck
wheat sowing continues, that portion
Of the crop already iu ground is doing
nicely.
Vegetables. = Gardens doing we'll.
Beans, peas and potatoes (early) are
plentiful, in some places markets are !,
overstocked Early potatoes turning
out fair to fine, in some districts the
later varieties need rain. Sweet pota-
toes not very promising.

An Old Soldiers Reflection.

1.-THE following verses were compos-
ed by Comrade A. N. Girault, of Com
pany ! sd Regiment, Maryland Cav
airy, who was chaplain OF w. T. Sher-
man Post, G. A. R., at Washington
d. c., at the close of Memorial Day,
1898. Comrade Girault was employ
ed as Record Clerk in the Pension De-
partment at Washington, which had

sassination of the larnented President
Lincoln) for use of the Department.
work. On June 9, or about ten days
after the composing of these verses,
Ford's Theatre, while undergoing re-
pairs, collapsed and buried beneath
its ruins nearly all of the large num-
Der there employed, some of whom
met their dea tn among them Comrade
Girault His widow is now visiting
her daughter. Mrs. R. H. Leake, at
Spring I.ake.-ED.
Another Memorial day is past,
And again sweet flowers we have cast
On the graves of comrades true and bold;
Comrades lying SO still and cold.
With US they marched on fields of gore,
Amid the dreaded lannon's roar;
History proclaims how brave and well
These comrades fought mid shot and
shell.
But though so defiant in battle array,
Though foremost in charging the col
ums of gray,
Tonight thsy are slaeping the sleep of
the dead,
And we have placed choice flowers above
their bed.
Comrades, It's sad-'tis sad to think
Each comrade taken breaks link;
The chain fast shortens, who can say
What links may be gone next Memorial
Day!
A~S~ "NAfh6 iAthos, thio tottCitiHS gait,
Give notice we've not long to wait;
But few more years pass DER our head
Ere we are numbered with the dead.
Who knows but next Memorial Day
My spirit shall have passed away,
And comrades loval. brave, and true,
Shall DER MY grave sweet flowers strews
Comradesl alas. too well we know
Memorial days can come and go,
But few before the G. A. r.
Has vanished like falling star.
As heroes of civil war,
Whose race on earth is almost DER,
So let us live that when We die
Wen meet our comrades in the sky.

Section 4, Article d, of the Constitu-
ton says: "The United States shall
guarantee to every State in this Union
a republican form Of Government, and
shall protect each of them against in
vasion; and on application of the Leg
islature, or of the executive (when the
Legislature cannot be conveued)
against domestic violence" 1t is this
section which causes some to believe
that the President has transcribed his
powers. BE that as it may, the peo-
pie approve the course of the Presi-
dent, right or wrong.

Gentle Reminders.

1t should be borne in mind that
Governor Altgeld, of Illinois, is a
Democrat, elected by Democratic votes,
and placed in nomination because he
could ring in for the party of reform
all of the baser element in and about
Chicago.
Waite, of Colorado, is another indi-
vidual who was brought to the front
and placed over the people of the Cen
tennial State by a fusion of Democrats
and Populists.
Pennoyer, of Oregon, was, but is no
more, Governor OF Oregon. Self-re-
specting Democrats became thorough
ly disguised and kicked out of the
traces.
Llewelling, of Kansas, is another
rare specimen-a choice product Of
fusion. He is too tough a customer
for straight-out Democrats and there
will be no more double teaming in the
Prairie State.
All OF the above performed the part
assigned them. The made the cleo
ton of Grover Cleveland possible.
Their characters were known and
they were Endorsed by Mr.. Cleveland
prior to the election Democrats
were ordered to vote for them for gov.
ernor of their respective States in or
der that the Democratic party might
win In the Nation. Then it was the
wind of anarchy and socialism was
sown. Now, the people are reaping
the whirlwind of revolution.
A year ago Mr.. Cleveland announ
ced that those who work for a liveli-
hood should have their wages re-
duced. Good times were promised.
Until recently there was patient wait
ing. Guant hunger and despair are
hard masters. Men can endure the
pangs of one and the agony of the
other for season, but in the end rea-
son loses control and madness rules.
1t does seem incredible that those in
cannot read the signs of the
times. The laboring people of this
country. during the past thirty years,
have been faring well. They were
not content to let well enough alone.
They demanded change, voted for
change, and they have effected
change for the worse.

A Great Democrats verdict.

The Senate bill-the German Com
promise bill, as it is now generally
known in the press and throughout the
county, mean the bill in its pres
ent shape-is neither satisfactory to the
democratic party nor to the country.
There is no installing public senti-
ment upon this point. We promised
the people bread and we are giving
them stone.-Senato David B. Hill

The Strike.

To attempt to review. even briefly,
the events of the past week would re-
quire much more space than is at our
command. The strike inaugurated
by the Pullman employees some six
weeks ago being unsettled, the Amer
lean Railway Union ordered a boycott
upon Pullman cars and demanded that
the railroads should cease to haul them.
The roads could not accede to such
demands, when certain employees 0hose
controlled by tie A. R. U } struck and
undertook to check all trains hauling
Pullman cars Rioting ensued.
Many cars were burned and much
property destroyed. The courts en-
joined the strikers, the trouble hav-
ing spread throughout the entire West
Troops were called out and by Sunday
the troubles were practically ended ex-
cept in and about Chicago.
Governor Altgeld, of Illinois, protest
ed against the use of United State;
troops in the city but his protests were
not needed by the President, who on
Sunday evening issued a proclamation
which practically declared martial law
several conflicts having occurred be-
tween the troops and strikers, in which
a number of the latter were killed and
many wounded.
Another and more stringent procla-
nation was issued Monday and COM
paratiye quiet restored. In the mean
time, unavailing efforts were made to
effect a compromise between the Pull
man company and its employees.
Other labor organizations, decided to
join the railroaders, but when the
time came failed to do so.
The United States court indicted
several prominent leaders of the strik-
ers, arrested them and put them under
bail. This, with the firm stand taken
by the President bids fair to settle the
difficulty

That Tired Feeling

Is a dangerous condition directly due
to depleted or impure blood. 1t

in its debility the system is especially
liable to serious attacks of illness.

such condition, and also for that
weakness which prevails at the change
of season, climate, or life.

We have occasionally referred to
certain Of the methods employed BY
Democratic managersin the campaign
Of 1892. LII some portions ofthe State
negro domination was the burden
Of their song. though now they claim
that tariff reform" was the refrain.
In recent issue of the Wheeling In
telliaencer. Mr.. George A. Dunning-
ton, referring to the effort now being
made by the Register to create party
capital out OF the immigration plank
Of the State League, very pertinently
calls attention to the record of the Dem
ocratic party and its effort to breed
race prejudice. He says
"That contemplate and partly sue
cessful effort to create race prejudice
in some sections of West Virginia is
still fresh in the minds of those who
watched the course Of the campaign.
In this section of the State it was not
generally known at the time to what
extent this peculiarly outrageous cam
paign was carried on in those portions
where the negro population is large.
In some counties the white people
were told that if the Republicans OBJ
tanned power in the State mixed schools
would be established. though the
Democratic managers knew that such
a thing would be impossible under our
constitution, and that the Republican
party and its candidates did not favor
such a movement. In the southern
counties of West Virginia, and partic-
ularly in the remote mountain dis
tricts, great posters were displayed,
on which was an enormous picture Of
the interior of schoolhouse. Seated
side by side were colored and white
children, and in the foreground was a
gigantic negro in the act of admins
tering corporal punishment to little
white child. This, the reader was in
formed in flaming words, was pic
ture of what was to be expected if the
Republicans carried West Virginia.
Intelligent Democrats were Disguised
with their party managers that such
a method to obtain votes had been
adopted, but they were easily persuad-
ed by the bosses that the necessities
of the occasion demanded it. And SC
the minds of ignorant white voters
were worked upon effectively-and all
in the name OF tariff reform How q
self-respecting man can indorse par
ty that will resort to such means to
carry an election is mystery. And
yet the honest self-respecting Demo
Gratis Of West Virginia did that very
thing, though, let US hope, not with
out blush of shame"
