CROP CONDITIONS.
Another Excellent Tobacco Season
And Many Acres Set.

Another fine rain fell throughout
this section Wednesday, affording
an excellent season for plant setting
and and the farmers are rejoicing.
In some localities the showers Of
last week were so light and INSULT
cient that not much benefit was de-
rived, but the season of this
week has been sufficient for all pur-
poses and nearly the entire crop
has been put out. From informa-
tion gathered from various sections
it is estimated that the usual
acreage Of the weed has been set.
Wheat is heading and blooming,
and where not injured by the fly is
making progress toward a fair
crop. although the dry weather has
had an injurious effect on its proper
outcome In some localities the in
jury by fly has been so great that
less than half a crop will be gather
ed in those sections. In some por-
tons t South Christian, however,
there are many excellent crops.
Oats felt the effects Of the dry
Spring more than any other crop
and anything but hattering pros
pect is presented The work Of
cultivating corn is n,progress and
some Of this crop has received the
second blowing Clover fields, gar
dens and pastures have taken on
new life since the rains and all
kinds Of vegetation already show
an improved condition

The Washington Times congrat-
ulates the Kentucky Democrats and
concludes it's editorial With this
paragraph;
"Gov. Beckham and bis associate
officers are to be comprimented and
congratulated upon the dignity and
propriety Of their course during the
period of great danger, embarrass-
ment and evaporation. They have
been compelled to stand by and see
the local forces of law and order de-
fed and overridden by a usurper
backed by mob of bandits and
assassins. They have elected TO
suffer the spectacle temporarily,
knowing that in good time the right
would prevail through the action Of
the courts, rather than plunge the
Commonwealth into riot and blood
shed. Now that they have been
vindicated and are in power, 1t is
to be hoped that stern justice will
be melted out to the miscreants who
have insulted the State by insurrec-
ton and the murder of it's Chief
Magistrate.

1t looks now like the Montana
Senatorial middle will be solved by
keeping out of the United States
Senate both Clark, the appointee of
the Lieutenant Governor, and Ma
jor Maginnis, who holds the Cover
nor s commission. There seems no
doubt of the validity of Clark's APP
pointment, but as a bubble can be
raised his credentials will be sent
to the Election Committee, and no
report will be made on them before
Congress- adjourns. A like pro-
ceeding will apply to Maginnis.
This will cut off both claimants, for
Legislature will be elected No
vember next which will elect SEN
ator, and not make necessary the
passing on the credentials of either
after the Senate shall have reas-
semble next December. Meanwhile,
torestraln Clark from presenting his
new credentials the resolution of
expulsion under the old commission
will be held over his head.

For the first time since the civil
war the House last week passed a
bill to pay Confederate soldiers for
losses growing out of that war.
The measure provides for the pay
ment Of Confederate soldiers who
surrendered at Appomattox for the
loss of horses and other personal
effects taken in violation of Gen.
Lees capitulation to Gen. Grant.
The amount in the original bill
was fixed at 100000 but in the bill

expended a sum OF money far in excess
Of the amount provided by law
Referring to the destruction OF checks
and vouchers, it is remarked that the
cunittee find the case proved without
relying upon such destruction of checks,
failure to render accounts, and disregard
of the legal limit of expenditure. But
they furnish TO the ommittee strong adj
ditional reasons for believing the other
evidence which seems to them to estab-
lish the corruption charged"
Only two points Of law are presented,
as follows:
Tt is clear that if by bribery or cor
rupt practices on the part OF the friends
of a candidate who are conducting his
canvass votes are obtained for him,
without which he would not have had a
majority, his election should be annulled
although proof is lacking that he knew
of the bribery or corrupt practice.
cit seems to have been admitted
that if the person elected clearly partici-
pated in any one act Of bribery or at
tempted bribery he should be deprived OF
his office, although the result Of the cleo
ton was not thereby changed"
Commenting on the legal phases OF the
case, the committee says: According to
the law, as understood by the commit
tee, Senator Clark cannot be permitted 10
retain his seat. He received "a votes, and
there were % against him, leaving him
an apparent majority of p. II he OBJ
tanned through Illegal and corrupt prac-
tees eight votes, which would otherwise
have been cast against him. he was not
legally elected. More than this number
OF votes, the committee find. from all
the evidence, were thus obtained
1T also is a reasonable conclusion on
the whole case that Senator Clark IS fair
ly to be charged with knowledge OF the
acts done in his behalf BY his committee
and his agents conducting his canvas. He
arrived in Helena from Butte on January
and remained there until after his cleo
tIon, on January p. and was in constant
conference with his committee and
agents"
