4 CLOUD IN THE HORIZON.

A report was in circulation this
week that eX-Postmaster General
Gary was to be the admins tration
candidate for Republican nomination
for Governor, against Mr.. Lowndes.
Also that Mr.. Gary was to take charge
of the Maryland campaign, displacing
Mr.. Wellington, whose recent state
ments regarding the Indignation with
which all Marylanders viewed the
persecution of Admiral Schley by the
Navy Department had displeased
President Mckinley.
Mr.. Wellington was interviewed at
Cumberland with reference to tbs
statement aud said he had for seine
time noticed Il renewed attempt TO
tagouistic to certain administration
measures, and he believed it was Il
mistake to permit cabals i'll the War
or Navy Department to deprive of
their juts laurels such men as Admiral
S>'hley or General Miles.
Mr.. Wellington plainly said that the
President must not NEEDLE in Mary
land politics and added:
Il will support the Administrator
in the future, us have in the past, Oh
all measures which are in tie I:ne OF
Republican policy and in the best in
terests of our country. If errors are
made or Republican policies deviated
from, | shall deem it my privilege to
differ and to make known MY opinion.
If for this there is TO be punishment,

whatever quarter it may, to attack me-

CROPS IN MARYLAND.

The weather and crop bulletin ci
the L. S. Department Of Agriculture,
of June 81, for Maryland and Del
aware, says that in Southern Mary
land and Delaware wheat is mostly
cut and threshiug commenced. The
wheat harvest is not sufficiently ad-
vanced to give definite figures as 10
yields. In the northern centred coun-
ties the estimates vary from one half
to four-fifths OF AL average yield. The
quality is reported as fine. The dam
age by fly has been slight. On the
Eastern Shore most of the wheat has
been cut and some threshed. The
general tenor of reports indicates an
average yield and OF good quality. In
Garrett county wheat is ripening aud
the heads are we'll filed. The harvest
will begin next week.
Corn is doing fairly well in most
parts of the section. 1t has made bat
little growth during the past weeI.
owing to the prevailing dry weather.
Reports on the condition in the east
ern counties and in Delaware are more
favorable than those in the southern
and northern-central counties.
y heavy crop of clover hay is being
cut iii Garrett county. In Washing
ton county the hay crop will be fair.
In Southern Maryland and on the
Eastern Shore the crop will be light.
The seeding of buck wheat is in pro-
gress in Garrett county.

NO TR USES FoR FARMERS.

Joseph b. Ager, President of the
Maryland State Grange, in his testi-
mouy before the Industrial Commits
sion said that trust among the
farmers, such IT'S was suggested by
Mr.. Havemeyer, was impracticable,
owing to the difficulty of getting farm
ers to hold up prices.
Speaking of colored labor, lie said
it was unreliable because of the
natural Incidence and Indifference of
individuals of the colored race
Liquor he regarded as the great bane
of that people and responsible for
nine tenths of the crimes committed
by them.
Mr. Ager considered the condition
