Campbell county.
The condition for the State aver
ages 81, which is an improvement OF
one point during July. On August
l, 1898, the condition was SO, and on
same date of 1896 the condition was
85.
In the three subdivisions of the
State the condition averages SO for
the western, 81 for the central and
100 for the eastern. The condition
improved materially during the
month in the western section. while it
appears to have fallen off slightly in
the central. In the eastern section
the condition remains exactly as re-
ported July 1st.
TOBACCO.
Tobacco has not Jared we'll during
July, The wide difference in the
condition of the early and late set to-
bacco was accumulated during the
month, and it now appears that
very little of the late setting can be
counted upon to make eithera good
yield or good quality of the article.
So pronounced are reports on these
points that it may be set down as as
sured that the anticipated large crop
will not be realized.
The increase in acreage, which was
estimated at % per cent, compared
with the acreage of 1897, would
give scarcely a normal acreage, since
the acreage of 1897 was abnnormally
small. In the central or Burley dis
trict the increase was notably small, 9
per cent. The largest increase, SO per
cent, being reported from the eastern
section, where but small proportion
of the crop is grown, greatly strength
ems this view of the case.
The crop shows an average condi-
ton of SO for the State, which is a
falling off of 8 points during July.
On August l, 1897, the condition was
81, and for a corresponding date of
1896 it was 81. ..
In the western section of the State
the crop has suffered from drouth in a
few counties and from excess of
moisture in others, with the result
that the condition has fallen from SO,
July LIST, to So, August LIST.
In the central section dry weather
is the principal source of evil. Little
or no complaint is made of worms. A
few counties report high average
condition, notably Bourbon, 120;
Scott, ITO, and Fleming, 105, but re-
port above condition of 80 is an ex-
ception rather than the rule. The
condition for this section averages rs.
On July LIST the condition for the Sec
ton was 81.
OF the counties of the eastern sec
ton very few produce a crop for
other than home market. Here the
is 81.

:. In Kentucky the month of July has
, been favorable to threshing, with the
exception of the last week of the
month, when frequent showers put a
stop to further progress. Much less
than the usual amount has been
!hreshed to date, due to farmers hav-
ing their crop in stack and preferring

The question "hss yield equalled

Affirmative and CT in the negative.

Windsor county, is the man who, il
the decree of the supreme court is
carried out, will on the Sd of next
February cut the cord which sepa-
rates Isabella Marsh and William
Buzzell from eternity. He states that
he has called upon the prisoners since
their confinement in the state prison
at Windsor. and that while Buzzell
was in constant state OF desponden-
cy over his fate, Mrs. Marsh, as a
usual thing, bore her confinement
with remarkable cheerfulness as
though hopeful that her sentence of
death would be committed. But
when the third day of each month
comes round this fortitude forsakes
her for the time and she spends the
day in weeping as though she had
been counting the days and realizes
that she is brought one month nearer
her end and thus shortening the time
in which anything can intervene to
save her from the scaffold. Mont

If Spain has really sent her Cadiz
fleet to Manila. via the Suez canal, il
will be the colossal military blunder OF
her history. which abounds in fatal
mistakes. Dewey, reinforced as he
will be by armored vessels, and with
the land bait cries held by our troops,
will make short work of it if it is un-
fortunate enough to reach there.
SPANS own coast is left unguarded
and it won't be any time before we will
have strong fleet right over there
blockading her ports and hammering
at her doors. The departure of the
Cadiz feet seems to be rather a re-
Spouse TO the demand of the Spanish
people to do something, than in ex-
pectation of accomplishing much.

This war has demonstrated beyond
question the utter inadequacy of our

Our regular army is, generally speak

Der of troops of any country. But it
has numbered only about $4,000 men.
This is mere handful in. war. Our
Wanted national guard or organized
militia. numbering about 100000 men,
turns ont to be a most rudimentary or
ganization. A large per cent of its
number were rejected under physical
examination. 1t was unprovided with
scarcely anything necdful for service.
Its military knowledge barely exceed
ed a smatterine of small arm and pla-
toon movements. 1t is a little better
than an equal number of able-bodied
green recruits, but not much. The
money expended by the federal and
state governments has been largely
wasted. 1t is shown that it requires
more than few days training each
year to make soldiers fit for duty at
moments warning. Some new meth
Cd must be devised. The prejudice
against a large standing army must
give way before the demand for one.
This country should have at least
100000 regular soldiers at all times,
besides an auxiliary service something
more than in name only. One effect of
this Spanish war will be to place us on
the right track as leading nation that
may sometime be required to measure
strength with some nation that viii

policy regarding the importantly

long depression in the sugar in.
dustry. AS will be seen by the
report elsewhere, countervailiug
duties to Offset continental boun.
ties would not do, as they would
damage a vastly larger trade than
the West Indian proposed to be
helped. Besides, they would
violate the fixed national policy
Of free trade. The remedy is
straight aims to the distressed
planters. AS between this and
the abhorred bounty there seems
to be only distinction without a
difference. But something had
to be done, and results will he
