The News OF Friday morning
presents the fourth Of its 1896 se-
ries Of crop reports, covering Tex
as and the Oklahoma and Indian
territories.
Reports from 466 Texas CORES
p0ndents, covering l52 counties,
show that except in isolated insian-
ces the July rains we're not suliic-
iently prolonged TO have a lasting
effect upon crops, especially cotton.

there has been some deterioration

prospects indicate that a fair

ance ofrains, yet the condition Of
the plant in many fields must be
an eyesore, for it is shedding bo.ls
sometimes the leaves are falling,
and it is dry and sac looking.
Correspondents do not agree with
cotton men Cd the probable yield
and evidently prefer TO take the
farmers word for il. The farmers
have a very pessimistic view, but
still leave room for the belief that
there will be a very substantial in.
creasein in the yield over last year
From these reports il is deduceC
that the average yield will be about
one-third bale per acre. This il
on a basis Of an increase in yielC
of 10 per cent over that Oflast yea
The July estimate Of The New
was an increase Of 1876 per cen
over last year, both in yield an'
acreage. Since that estimate wa
made mnch oats land that was 4
be planted to late cotton was no
touched and a great deal Of tha
which was planted never zane up
So ,he yield and acreage and esii
mate is reduced to Is per cent
This would make the Texas cottol
acreage in round numbers 6,7O0,OO
and the prospective crop abo'
I2,24O, 900 bales. Further deterioT
alton in crop conditions may sho'
these figures to be too large. Wit
rain the taproot, which extend
deep into the ground will probabl.
furnish big top crop, but CORES
pondents differ on this point
Some contend that the top Gro
will not amount TO much.

THE EVOLUTION OF M,KINLEY.

The New York Evening Post sarcas-
tically calls attention TO the interesting
process that has been going on for some
time of reconciling the Republican
party to the idea of putting up with a
man of McKinley's calibre for Presi-
dent. At first the suggestion was
secuted; the party had not yet sunk to
so low an intellectual level as that, it
was to be hoped. When all the men Of
brains were dead, it would be time
enough to talk of that solemn ignoram-
us. Then came the period of alarm, as
the ignoramus went on getting the
delegates" Was there no way TO stop
him? What were the able leaders of
the party doing, to let such man walk
off with convention after convention?
After that came the stage Of apology,
of explanation, of gradual warming up
to accept the inevitable. Well, it could
not be denied that, if Mckinley was a
good deal of woodenhead, he stood for
a great Republican idea. Perhaps a
man could stand for great idea all the
better for having no ideas Of his own.
And were you so sure, after all, that We
needed a man of marked ability for
President? The party behind him was
the main thing after all. and. with an
able Republican Congress-ahem!-
well, of course, this Republican Con-
gress has been pretty bad, but the next
one is sure to be fine one, and the
President wouldn't really have much to
do, you know, except to sign bills. And
when all was said, this was a great peo-
pie, and if it was really bound to have
Mckinley, there must be more in him
than you suspect.
1t is the old story over again-first
hated. then endured. then pitied, then
embraced. McKinley's. godlike intel
lect, his inspiring and magnificent ora
tory, his profound political philosophy,
his courage, will soon be lauded on
every Republican stump and in every
Republican newspaper.

ONLY ONE PRECEDENT.

Congress will have its way with River
and Harbor bills. Only one President
before Mr.. Cleveland ever vetoed such
a measure. In 1882 Mr.. Arthur retmn-
ed with his objections a bill calling for
S1S.743.S75, because many of its prov's-
ions were entirely for the benet! Of
particular localities" and not for the
promotion of commerce among the
States. Although the Republicans were
in control OF Congress the bill was
quickly passed over the veto by vote
of 100 to SO in the House AMI II to IL in
the Senate.
Tn his veto message Mr.. Arthur de-
scribed the log-rollng methods in franz
ing the measure. and remarked that
~thus. as the bill becomes more objec-
tionable, il secures more support"
It was precisely thus with the meas
ure which Mr.. Clevelaal vetoed. Be
yond a few really needed improvements
such as the improvements OF the Moron-
gahela and Ohio rivers, the bill is log
rolled scheme of the wO~sc character.
1t was manifestly impossible for the
President to separate the good items
from the bad in the bill. hence he deem
ed j, safest. particularly in view Of the
depleted condition of the treasury and
the failure of the revenue, % veto the
whole measure.
OF course, We in this section. which
Will be the beneficiary of the measure
to a considerable extent. must rejoice
that the bill has become a law, though
We can clearly see that the President did
nothing bur his plain duty in vetoing
the measure as a whole.

the purpose of crossing on the native

seemed that long before General Watts
consented to become candidate for the
nomination for Governor, the people from
this entire section were anxious that he
should make the race, and even before his
intentions were made public several of the
counties through their conventions either
instructed their delegates to the State
convention TO cast their vote for him or
endorsed his candidacy. Recent develop
ments from all other portions of the State
demonstrate clearly that he is the almost
unanimous choice of the West Virginia
Democracy and the question of his loca-
ton has been ignored or voided in the in
terests of party success. Firmly believe
ing that Mr.. Watts is In each and every
respect eminently qualified TO fill this i'm

fact that the great masses of the Demo-
