Col. Boone Still At It.

Ohio Wheat Crop VIII Be
Small.

The extent OF damage to the wheat
crop has become mere apparent since
the opening of spring. 1t is now quite
evident that in previous reports cor
respondents were conservative in their
estimate and at no time was there an
underestimate of the wheat condition.
Correspondents were inclined to be-
lleve or hope that much of the crop
that appeared dead or greatly damaged
late in the fall and during the winter
had sufficient root growth and vitality
to take a new start in the spring and
thus overcome much of the apparent
damage Due weight was given these
considerations in all the returns here
tcfore made to the department. The
hopes OF correspondents in respect to
renewed growth do not promise to be
realized, and the extent of damage by
the Hessian fly and winter freezing of
the tender and weak wheat plant is
now very evident. Since the March !
report there Is further fall OF 10 per
cent in estimated condition, the pres
ent prospect standing at only 46 per
cent of a fair average crop. Four
counties report 25 per cent and below,
"a counties between % and 80 per
cent, II counties between 80 and go per
cent and 13 couties between GO and 72
per cent which latter mark is the high
est in the state.
The generally low prospect is attrib-
uted almost entirely to the ravages of
Hessian fly Never perhaps has the
destruction from this pest been so Sc
we're and widespread. Hundreds of
acres will be plowed for spring crops.
With respect to other crops and con-
litions named in the report there is
nothing unusual to mention. except
perhaps with respect to fruit buds
winter killed. The percentage given
applies almost wholly to peaches and
should not be taken as covering ali
| fruit.

Specimens of Expansion.

Among the states carved from the
Louisiana purchase are the two Da-
kotas, Montana, and, in part, Mlnneso-
Ia. The population of these -four
states in 1890 was 1.945,512. In 1850
the population of the same region was
176,S6O. Iii every decade since 1856
the increase has been over 100 per
cent. A doubling of population every
10 years is rate that can not be
maintained. But it is estimated that
the four states will reach total in
the present year of 100000 people, en-
tltling them TO four or five more Con-
gressmen. These figures serve to show
the rapidity Of the progress OF the
United States as we'll as the rich re-
sisSippi, even in section once sup
posed to be too far north to get full
share of the country's development
The Northwestern States lack some OF
the advantages of Missouri, but tide OF
empire rolls over them also and nc
one can set limits to their future.

Not a Popular Idol.

The comment that will, we think
generally be made uron Admiral Dew
'y's announcement is that it comes toe
ate. Had he suffered himself to be-
come Presidential candidate on his
'eturn from the scene of his great ma
5al exploit there is a possibility that
he popular enthusiasm would have
compelled one of the parties to take
lin up as a candidate, and that he
night be elected with a hurrah. But
lie let the golden opportunity slip.
rhe public dismissed him from its
mind as Presidential candidate sew
'ral months ago. and the politicians
lave been busily at work crystalizing
eminent on the one hand in favor OF
Mckinley and on the other in favor of
Bryan as the opposing nominees,
Nothing could now overturn the plans
If the politicians save a spontaneous
Uprising in favor of a popular idol and
Dewey has ceased TO be a popular idol.

Dewey or Party.

II is a pretty big argument that the
Dewey boomers put up when they pro-
pose to run the admiral on his person.
ality and his achievements. Admiral
Dewy has the esteem of the people.
But the administration of the govern
ment of a great nation depends upon
more than personal regard. 1t is not
slight thing that a man should be
mentioned for the Presidency, and
have no affiliation with any party Or
ganization. Party is bond that holds
men of definite views together. The
personality of the President is CT far
less consequence than that he repre-
sents those things the majority OF the
citizens advocate Dewey stands for
nothing that is living issue except
for the retention of the empire which
ne won for the country. Public affairs
are more vital than personal inclina-
tions. Had Mr.. Bryan been an en-
thusiast on behalf OF a gold standard
and protective tariff he might have
been President. Personally few have
anything to say against the man
Their are two forces actively conspic-
uous in this country's public life. Be
sides these are those that represent
minor principles ana ideas. The per-
sonality of Wharton Barker is not
Objectionable, but he is not enlisted in
the cause that the majority OF the
people believe in. Dewey is worse sit
uated than Barker, for Dewey. so far
as known, stands tor nothing. 1t is
popular misapprehension that the
leaders control parties. If that were
true elections would be matters of cer-
tainty. Leaders have influence only
when they are in accord with the peo-
pie. and illustrations are plentiful
enough. The party sticks together be-
cause it is the best means of an eX-
preston of common opinion. 1t
represents the views of the citizens
who compose and uphold it. Jones, OF
Toledo, showed the hopelessness of the
man without a party. Dewey might
be made the emergency candidate Of
the Democracy, and as such, standing
upon the platform,he would get good
many votes, but he would get more
had he been always identified with the
doctrines, instead of an eleventh hour
convert for the ccasion.-Pittsburg

"Three Little Lambs. !"

The following is taken from the
Wheeling Register of April 6: One of
the great musical comedy successes of
the season, "Three Little Lambs" was
presented at the opera house by a
numerous and most excellent company
of comedians, dancers, vocalists and
pretty girls. The house was packed,
standing room being at a premium.
Miss Marie Cahill carried off the hon
ors, with Messrs. Raymond Hitchcock
and Edmund Lawrence, her "side
partners" running a close second. The
company throughout was competent;
the dialogue is witty from start to
finish;the music is tuneful and catchy,
and the scenery embelishment the
best. The bugaboo song by Miss
Braggins and the Tom Thumb pick
anninies made great hit. Innumer-
able specialtes were interspersed, and
all were well received. A return en-
gagement would be winner, Mr..
