CONDITION OF THE CROPS,
More Rain Needed TO Relieve the Droutl
Late Corn benefited.

The Illinois crop bulletin says of
the week ending Sept. 9:
The temperature of the week av-
eraged from to 10 degrees daily
above normal, the heat being excess
sive during the first half, most sta
tiOns reporting temperatures above
100 degrees. Good showers and cool
weather came Thursday evening and
during Friday, also light showers
over much of the state Sunday: more
rain, however, is generally needed to
relieve the drouth condition which
had prevailed for three weeks pre-
viouS over most of the state. The
late corn will generally receive benefit
from the rains, but much damage has
resulted from the heat and dryness,
and light weight. chaiIy corn will be
common; early corn was too far ad
vanced to be much damaged. Cut
ting and shocking is general. Pas
lures were badly burned up previous
to the rains and even in the more wet
sections show little improvement yet.
A little thrashing is still being done;
potato digging, sorghum cutting,
broOmcorn cutting and field pea har-
vest continue, the broomcorn harvest
being nearly completed. Flowing
has been resumed since the rains and
a little wheat has been sown, with
prospect that seeding will become
general the last of the week. Dust
has been very bad; stock water scarce.
Apples have been much injured by
the heat and dryness, a large part of
the crop dropping off: early picking
and marketing have resulted from the
ripe condition of the fruit in southern
counties; plums and crabs are plenti

Gov. Tanner is said BY his friends

he unit physically and certain of de-

The French court martial. which
outraged every sense of honor and
fairness in the condemnation of Capt.
Dreyfus, now seeks the pretense of
n merciful disposition by petitioning
the executive of France to spare Drey-
fus further torture. Had the court
martial the dimmest idea of humane
understanding it would have known
before rendering its verdict that TO be
merciful is to be Just. and that after
an outrage against the truth has been
committed it is not tempering justice
with mercy to ask for lcniency. The
wrong that has been done Dreyfus, if

II. connection with the recent So
jOurn Of President Mckinley i'm the
Smoky City, the tsburg Post re-
calls that the most notable presiden-
tial visit ever made to Pittsburg was
that of Andrew Johnson, when he
was swinging around the circle, and
when a mob of intense republican
partisans drove him from the balcony
of the St Charles hotel, where he at
tempted To address the people. The
most stinging rebuke of this disgrace
full incident came from the brave and
chivalric Farragut. who, advanc-
ing to the platform as President John
son left it, denounced the conduct of
the mob as disgraceful to American
citizens in dishonoriDg the office of
president and insulting the chief
magistrate personally. He then at
ruPtly turned his back on the vast
assem- blage and reentered the hotel.
