Weekly Crop Bulletin.

COLUMBIA, August 2S. --For tho week
ending a. M, August 81, tho average
State temperature was S5, which is 2
lower than tho previous week, but the
departure from tho normal was fully as
great. The weeks maximum was 1906
and minimum was G7 degrees.
Scattered showers, some heavy, but
most of them moderate or light, occurred
over tho entire State in places. The
area that received sufficient rainfall is
small, and over by far the greater por-
tion of the State the drought continues
with increased severity. Damaging hail
fell in Dorchester, Edgeficld, Ncwbcrry,
Pickcns and Sumter countios. IIigl,
winds accompanied the thundcrstorms
at number of points.
Thcrc was no general improvement in
crops; on the contrary, the reports indi-
cate further deterioration, except over
the limited areas where the rains were
heavy, and at such points the damage
was checked.
The corn crop is very poor, and late
corn is ruined. Many stalks have nc
cars, and tho blades, tasscls and silk OF
such as began to ear early this month
arc driod up. Early fodder was saved
in good condition, but late fodder
amounts to little.
Cotton continues to shed both leaves
and bolls, and to open prematurcly. 1t
is making no growth, nor is it fruiting
Where the showers were followed by
bright sunshine, cotton was scaldcd
Picking is general, but is retarded by
tho hot weather. Sea island cotton is
suffering severely from drought, prema,
ture orcning and blight.
Cow /. 20 and sweet potatoes improved
slightly WI ,ro the rainfall was heavy
but their general condition is less
promising. Pastures and gardens arc
parched River rice alone is doing well,
and harvest is underway in tho southcrl,
sections. Upland rice is almost a fail
urc. In places stock watcr is scarce ant
cattle are suffering. Forage crops of al
kinds arc poor. tits generally too dry

halla Gun CT 'b's tournament was decided
to have been the most enjoyable over

Torcib1e in His Demonstration.

Mr.. Bryan made clear the distinc-
tion between imperialism and expan-
sion, between forcible annexation and
the acquisition of territory to be di-
vided into states. He showed by the
experience of colonizing nations of
Europe that tropical colonies were
not suitable for the habitation of the
white race. The status Of the Filipino
under the republican policy was next
discussed. Was he to be citizen or
a subject? Clearly not citizen. "a
subject is possible only in government
resting upon force A republic, de-
irving its powers from the consent of
the governed, can have no subjects.
The eyasive and insincere promise of
the republican platform to the Fill
pinos of "the largest measure of self
government consistent with their wei
fare and our duties was exposed.
Sixteen months had elapsed after the
treaty was ratified, but instead of any
se1f-government the presidents will
was the only law. Mr. Bryan was
forcible in his demonstration of the
abstract right of people to govern
themselves, and of the injustice of q
stronger nation depriying the weaker
of natural right. Jefferson and
Franklin were. quoted to the effect
that plundering nation making an
unjust war is as much robber as the
individual Observation-Disclosures
Times.
St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1900-09-29
tween the status of Porto Rico and

tween the status of Porto Rico and
that of New Mexico?
So much for the attitude of the two
parties and candidates toward the
rights of the case. The difference is
equally wide and vital in regard to
our future policy. Treating the Phil
ippines as "ours'-our authority as
supreme" our sovereignty as COM
pIete and inal-Mr. Mckinley pro-
poses to establish a just and 4gener-
Gus government, in which the inhab-
itants shall have the largest partici-
patton of which they are capable
we being the judges of their capa-
bility!
This is always and everywhere the
promise of imperialism to subjugated
peoples. Tt is what Mr.. Chamberlain
proposes for the Beers. AS Mr. Bryan
pertinentIy asks: "Did not the Eng
lish government lin 1776) promise a
good government to the colonists :?
What king ever promised bad gov
ernment to his people? ?'
The democratic policy is based upon
a recognition of the freedom and in
dependence of the Philippines. The
republican policy contemplates the
subjugation, retention and permanent
government of the islands by force.
Is not this difference vital? Does it
not truly measure the difference be-
tween Imperialism, "the spirit of en-
pire,"s and democracy, the essence Of
freedam2-N Y. World.
