the time of Peter the Great she has
been the chief disturbing element in
Europe, and has set the example Of
those vast armaments which are
running almost all the nations, and
which keep Russia itself In perpetual
poverty. Therefore, IL the Anglo
American Alliance did nothing be-
yond curbing her aggressiveness, it
would deserve well of mankind.
But Japan, also, where, for the first
time in history, liberty has recently
been born i'm an Asiatic country,
would naturally welcome the Alli-
ance with open arms. This interest
ing country appears destined to play
a distinguished part among the ma
tions, and already ranks among the
highest powers. The continuance of
her freedom and prosperity demands
that she should be protected from
the pressure of Russian intrigues. In
fact, regard it in any light we will,
whether for the advantage of the
contracting powers, or for the general
welfare of the world, no moment
could be more propitious than this
for the Anglo-Saxon race to join
hands. Europe is armed ready for
fight. The Balkans, the hotbed of
Russian Plots, are in ferment, and
the flames of war may burst forth at
any moment. But England apd
America united, self-sustainine. and
capable of protecting themselves
against all foes, could exercise n
powerful and unique Influence In
preventing n conflagration, or of
quenching that already begun. The
turbulent republics of South America
might also be restrsfied from their
interminable civil wars, and their
wealthy industries be again revived
under more settled governments.
Thus every part of the globe would
participate in the blessings of our
coalition
-
and America have already perceived
it's advantages, and are seeking the
means of Fastening its advent. Let
us all assist according to our power.
Let every citizen and every states
man give a hearty cooperation. We
appeal to our sisters in both countries,
upon whom the miseries of war and
want fall most bitterly, to join their
voices with ours. Then should We
succeed, it may be that the coming
century will be the commencement
of better era for the world, when
nation shall no longer make war
against nation, but all participate
again in golden age, so far as human
frailty will permit.

WHEAT.
Development of the wheat crop
during the month of June shows
the following results in the great
wheat growing States of the Miss
lssippi Valley: In Ohio and Michi-
gan the crop is fair, both in yield
and quality. In Illinois, Missouri
and Kansas the crop has suffered
greatly during June from rust and
chlnch bug, and the quality will be
poor, owing to damage from these
sources. The quality is greatly i'm
paired by the presence of an un-
usually large number of smut heads.
Where threshing has begun the
yield is very disappointing. In
Iowa, Wisconsin and Nebraska win
ter wheat varies from very fine in
some sections to poor in others. In
these, States spring wheat is threat
ened with rust, owing to the ex-
tremely rank growth of the plant.
In Kentucky the exceptionally
fine showing of June lst has not
been maintained and the crop is
fully from one fourth to one-third
short of what was anticipated. The
most frequently mentioned cause
of damage is rust, which seems to
have been general. The crop ripened
prematurely and the filling is very
imperfect, rarely more than two
grains to the mesh being found
The berry is lacking in plumpness

FROM SoLDIER BoY.-Lytle, Ga,
Camp Thomas, Chickamauga Park,
July 18th, lS9S.-Editor of TnE
OUTLOOK: take the pleasure this
dark and rainy morning to write II
few lines to inform the readers of
TEE OUTLOOK about camp affairs in
Chickamauga Park.
The boys seem to enjoy themselves
to a great extent and the majority
of them say they wouldn't give
camp life for any other they ever
lived. 1 wouldn't myself; not for
all the times l had roaming around
Peasticks and Polksville. So the
boys that read this will know how
well 1 like military camping out.
We drill only three hours a day,
and our leisure time we put in sit
ting around in our tents playing
checkers, seven-up or pitching
horse shoes. i call that very good
enjoyment.
see Levi Goodpaster, of Ow-
ingsville, every day. He is well and
as gay as two-year-old colt. There
are several other boys here 1 know
and they are all right, and ready to
60 to Cuba at any time and meet
the Spaniards face to face. But i
don't think our regiment will go
anyways soon, for what we hear
from the War Department tells us
Spain has about done her do. l
rather believe that myself, for l
understood that Spain wasn't very
good in warfare before she bucked
up against the "Boys in Blue"
There are about $1,000 soldiers
in camp at this Park now. Health
among them is very good. There
are a few cases of typhoid fever
and some deaths from that cause.
Our regiment is talking of moving
to some other camp ground, but l
don't know where it will 60 il it
leaves here. Some of the boys think
it will move back to Lexington, KY,
and go into camp. OF course that
will suit me very much, for do like
that old town you call Lexington.
The writer then "goes for" some
companions that started with him
to Join the army, but it is deemed
best not to publish it'd.
I'll get in battle with the Span
iards will try to kill enough for
myself and the boys that turned
back.
This camp ground is fifteen miles
square, 90 the soldiers have plenty
of room to do their drilling, and
the drill ground is the incest / evel
saw. We drill on the battle field,
where the old soldiers fought in
1862. Cannon are planted around
in the positions occupied by bat
teries in 1862. 1t is a grand sigh
for any one who never saw the lik,
before. If any of the Bath county
boys want to come down to visit til,
camp this summer or fall they cal
come cheaply on the numerous ex
cursions.
Twill close by telling my Batl
Co. friends goodby.
Yours truly,

The Anglo-American Ali
anCe,

By Lady Cook, nee Tennessee C. Ciafiin.
The ancient poets tell us there was
once time when the great god Sat
SGrrp reigned in Italy, and bestowed
happiness and trano I'''ty over all
the earth. The hgstphdmal gather
ed in peace the fruits oi ms iSh"nr,
and the fields smiled Wit plenteous
harvests. The liberal arts were sed-
ulously cultivated and every home
was the abode of innocence. Com
pairing this blissful state with their
own degenerate rule of blood and
iron, i'm which all the vices had sup
planted virtue, they have handed ii
down to us as "The Golden Age"
which, they deplored, could never
come again.
This retrospective fable, however,
of Pagan writer's, the Hebrew Proph-
ct saw as a future reality. In his
vision, the God of Peace was to take
the place of the heather deity, "and
W tSoSh uS Va AhiS way .. Anu Ile
shall judge among the nations and
shall rebuke many people; and they
shall beat their swords into plough
shares, and their spears into pruning
hooks; nation shall not lift up sword
against nation, neither shall they
learn war any more"
1t is possible that this glowing
prophesy Of Isaiah, although deliv-
cred twenty-six centuries ago, may
yet be fulfilled, but not, as he imag.
ined, through religious influence. Nc
more potential personality than Je'
sus Christ has ever appeared, yet
nineteen centuries of His teaching
have done little or nothing to sup
press war, even among His professet
followers. Age after age the earth
has been drenched with the blood o.
Christians, slain by their brethren
and those who bore His name have
at such times been animated by the
iia.reds and ferocity of leathep 80

| In the western section of the
State the crop has been damaged by
rain since harvest. The estimated
average yield per acre for the
State is l3 bushels. In 1897 the
estimate yield July 1st was Il
bushels. and 81 bushels for a cor.
responding date of 1896.
For the western section the yield
is l3 bushels; for the central and
eastern it is 16 and IL bushels re-
spectively.
CORN.
Favorable weather conditions
have prevailed during June and the
corn crop is now in excellent CON
dition. The average for the State
is 96, an improvement of four
points during the month. On July
lst, 1897, the condition was 81.
In the western section a few
counties, including Union, Webster.
Caldwell and Trigg, report the crop
suffering for want of cultivation,
which has been interfered with by
excessive rainfall. In the central
section the drouth has been re-
lieved in those counties along the
northern border and the crop is
fast regaining lost ground from
this source.
Taking the State by sections the
conditions are For the Western, 90 ;
Central, 90; and Eastern, 100; each
being an improvement during June.
OATS.
The condition of the oat crop is
SIS for the State as against 81 on
June 1st. On July 1st, 1897, the
condition was so. The crop has
improved in the central and about
held its own in the eastern section,
but in the western section it has
fallen off from So on June 1st to II
on July 1st.
TOBACCO.
The acreage of tobacco compared
with 1897 is 123 per cent, or 237,-
03S acres for the State. The east
ern section reports the greatest in
crease, viz: 36 per cent. In the
western section the acreage is in
creased 13 per cent, while in the
central section the increase is but
Q per cent. The condition of the
crop shows an average of 90 for the
entire State. July lst, 1897, the
condition was IS, and on same date
of 1896 the condition was 92.
In the western section the crop
Is, to some extent, foul. Grass
hoppers and worms are reported
preying on the plants and the ut
most vigilance will be required to
present condition of SO.
In the central section the crop is
very spotted and the stand is poor.
The first setting is growing nicely,
but the replant seems to be getting
ii poor start, which gives the crop
a ragged appearance. Here the con-
iitiNn compared with an average is
but s..
IN ty61nfies of the eastern
section where crop is grown the
appears excellent, with a
greatly increased acreage.
HEMr.
The condition of the hemp crop
is Sc as compared with average
years. On July 1st, 1897, the con-
dition was 81, as for correspond
ing date of 1896 it was so.
MEADOWS AND PASTURES.
The acreage of clover meadows
cut as compared with 1897 is 81.
The yield, both as to quantity and
quality,is good. OF timothy mead
ows the acreage as compared with
1897 is o.. The yield is light and
the quality of much of it is poor,
owing to the presence of weeds.
Pastures are most excellent, the
being 80.
Live stock is in satisfactory con-
dition. The demand for stock ewes
has greatly increased, and farmers
are turning their attention largely
to sheep raising.
