WASHINGTON LETTER.

The important events Of the week in
Congress have been the reading of the
annual message of the President, and
the action of the House upon the Gre
dentials of Roberts, the pOlygaiDist
from Utah.
The general comments heard upon
the executive communication are any
thing but flattering to its author. 1t
is enormously long, containing more
words than any previous annual mes
sage to Congress. But its language is
dubious, lacking in force; and upon
the important issue of the day, it falls
far short Of expectations. 1t leaves the
Philippine question in the air; and it
is apparent now that the President will
not venture to put himself squarely on
record, officially, in regard to this mat
ter, prior to the national elections.
His utterance to Congress are remark
ably short Of his speeches in the West
on his famous around-the-circle trip
before the Ohio election. He now
ventures nothing upon the imperialis-
tic issue, beyond statement, which
no one disputes or his denied, that the
instruction must be ended, and that
obligations incurred in the war with
Spain for establishing order in territory
acquired by this country, must be full
filled. But upon the important ques
ton as to how this government shall
govern the Asistic possessions, what
measure of liberty shall be given the
Filiplnos, the President is silent. His
evasion of the issue is taken generally
to mean that he is doubtful now HIM
self about the American peoples en-
dorsement of the policy to hold per
manently all the Philippines and IL
govern them by a colonial system SINH
lar to that of Great Britain.
The financial suggestions of Mr.. Nc
Kinley have chilled the Western Re
publicans, who cherished the hops
that he would, nominally at least, ad
here to the Republican platform of 1891
upon which he was elected, favOrinl
larger use of silver, to be brought abou
by International agreement. Intelli
gent men have understood fully tina
this declaration was put in merely t.
propitiate certain sections like Indian;
and Illinois, where silver coinage j
strong, even with Republicans. Now
however, the President comes on
sguarely for the establishing more firm
ly of the single gold standard, the in
crease of national bankers privileges
and authority for the Secretary to sci
United States bonds OH long or shOI
time. As the present Secretary excl
cises his discretion to buy bonds an
turn cash into Wal. street wheneve
the SPECTATORS are short ofmoney, TIL
new proposition implies a more Aexibl
arrangement by which the Treausur
will lend itself to the adjustment {

hest, or as the within may strike hin

ly all reports of hog cholera come from

The very favorable season for fall
blowing has been improved, and much
of this work which would come next
spring is being done now. Farmers
generally have their work well in
hand, and while crops have been below
rather than above the average yield
there is still, to an unusual extent, a
feeling Of satisfaction with past results
and confidence in the agricultural pros
perity of the future.

WHEAT.

WHEAT.
The favorable weather of November |
has advanced the condition OF wheat |
81 on November to l04 on December
I. These estimates are exclusive If
the counties composing the southeast
ern section where little attention is
given to wheat growing. The average
condition for the western section is los,
for the central lO2. The improvement
is most marked in those counties re-
porting an average or below average
condition last month. Very few of the
counties where the condition was
phenolnenally high in last report show
an increase in condition.
The earliest wheat is generally in
tested with fly, the damage in some in
stances amounting to total loss. This,
however, will have little effect on
acreage, as resolving has been the rule.
Ii is estimated that ID per cent. of the
acreage in the central sections is dam
aged by fly or other insects, while in
the western section but s per cent. of
the acreage is affected.
The growth of the plant, where free
from insect pests, is very rank, and
grazing is being generally resorted to to
prevent it reaching a stage where dam
age by freezing is likely to result.
In summing up the prospects we feel
justified in saying that ncthwithstand-
ing the injury from insects the State
has seldom presented, in one crop, so
many conditions which presage large
yield. The acreage is considerably
above an average, the plant is well
rooted and prepared to withstand the
vicissitudes of the approaching winter;
the physical condition of the soil is the
best, and this, with the long drouth, of
the past summer, renders available
those elements of plant food which are
ordinarily locked up beyond its reach.
CORN.
The corn crop is housed in good con-
dition SO far as concerns damage since
the crop has matured. The general
tenor of reports is that the yield is dis
appointing, and We are Of the opinion
that the moderate estimate OF 2I.4 as
the average yield, made October l. is
too high.
Much complaint is also made on
score Of quality. Light and chafTy,
loose ON cob" and Containing an un-
usual amount of small corn" being the
terms most frequently used in speaking
: OF quality. The quality compared with
t average years is 20 per cent.
, The average price is 81 cents pei
brshel. On December /, 1898, th'
price was % cents.

TO BE DEPENDED ON.
Because 1T is the Experience of Rock

A stranger lost in a large city would
place far more dependence on the di
rections given him by local resident
than the guidance of another stranger
like myself. This is n natural conse-
quence of experience; it's like a ship
in a strange port-a trusty pilot
familiar with the harbor is always
called upon to bring her safely to her
mornings. So it is with endorsement;
we doubt the sayings of people living
at distant points because we can't in
vestigate, but public expression of
local citizens can be depended on, for
It's an easy matter to prove it. Evil
dence like the following is beyond
