TIE HOTR AND THE MAN.

The hour has come. The climax is at hand
Before this day is done the word will be spoken
which may decide the fate Of nations The Is
sues Of honor and shame, Of peace and war; are
In the balance. One mind will conceive one
voice speak, one hand act for the turning OF
the scale; one. and no other In no land ruled
by autocratc despotism is one man more re-
sponsbe. more potent, more commanding,
than In this pure democracy. And for weeks
past, all through the trying time, that has
been as true as ii is to-day. What Congress
might think O. do has scarcely been cor sdered
What the report upon the Maine may be has
been deemed Of minor Importance. The sole
questions have been, What does the President
think? What will the President do? Congress,
Cabinet, Army and Navy sll have their func-
lions TO perform and are performing them well
But II is no derogaton OF their dignity. II Is
the simple truth. to say that for the time they
are each and all completely overshadowed by
the individual personality OF the Chief Execu-
tive.
In academic theory II should not be So The
powers OF peace and war lie In the hands of
Congress. The real government Of the Repub
lie resides with Congress. The President is
merely to execute the will Of the people as ex-
pressed In Congressional action. But in stern
fsct IN great emergencies, the President Is
more autocratic than Car Or he can and
Indeed should be so, II he be made Of the right
stun. Moie than one has been conscious that
the people We're behind him. Lincoln Was
bending Secretaries Congress, even the Consti-
tution itself. TO his tactful yet no less impera-
tory will. lie felt upon him the stress OF the
tremendous charge to see that the Republic
suffered no harm. and In the way Of bearing il
eright all obstacles must yield. 1t is the old
familiar rule, the union and the balance OF re-
sponsbty and power As the one increases
the other must increase. II is that other nm.
Client rule.
In seasons OF great peril It's we'll that one bear
sway.

II Is important that the nerves are care

daughters Of school age should watch their
health more carefully than their studies.
The proper development Of their bodies
Is Of first importance.

All this is self-evident. Everyone sd-

these two cities is $50 Mexican, for a first class

PROSPEROUS SEASON.
About Two Weeks Required to Matur
Corn and Potatoes.

About Two Weeks Required to Matur"
Corn and Potatoes.
Boston, Aug. So.-Vegetation is re-
ported as most thrifty. Growing crops
of all kinds are vigorous and advancing
rapidly. Meadows ard pastures are as
green as IN June. The excessive moist
ure and high temperature have retarded
haying and grain harvest, and have
also been conducive to rot in potatoes,
beans and late grain. The damp weathe.
has been unfaVorable to tobacco cutting
and curing, and has delayed farm pur
suits generally. 1t will, however, fur
nish bountiful and excellent fall feed
and stock will begin the winter season
in excellent condition. Flowing for fa,l
and winter grain is now in progress in
sections where soil is not too wet. Ten
days To fortnight are needed to mature
corn, potatoes, cure tobacco, and finish
as whole, a prosperous season.
Having is still in progress in many
sections, but for the larger part it is
the second crop, or hungarian grass.
While the weather has been too wet
considerable has been accomplished, and
now the crop is practically secured. The
crop Of rowen is large and the quality
generally excellent. Grass and pasture
lands are in good condition, and are
thus prepared for a severe winter with
out danger of great injury.
High winds accompanying local storms
have caused more or less damage to
apples. peaches, pears and plums. Early
apples are reported quite plentiful in
many parts of the district. The winter
crop is light, but generally in improved
condition Reports are mostly unfa-
vorablc to peaches, stating that in nu-
merous orchards they are prematurely
rpening and the fruit is inferior. Gram
berries are less promising on account OF
damage from sun scald and insects.
From present outlook the crop will be
less than the average yield.
Complaint of rot and rust in pota-
toes is received from all sections. New
ertheless, there seems little likelihood
of the yield or quality of the tubers be-
ing seriously affected. The crop is be-
ing dug in many sections, especially in
the southern part of the district. Vines
are reported in fine condition. Cucum-
bers for picking are especially album
dant. Tomatoes are very plentiful, but
the weather conditions have not IA
vored ripenng of the fruit. Garden
vegetables of excellent quality are still
abundant.
Tobacco continues in good condition
Cutting and curing are in progress anc
in some sections the crop is one hall
secured.
