Corn and cotton continue to M
prove satisfactorily; blooms on cot
ton are now general. Threshing
wheat is still in progress in the CEN
trail and western parts of the State,
excepting the extreme west, where
harvesting is in the state of compile
ton. Tobacco, on an average, made
very light improvement during the
week. There were a number of fields
badly damaged by hail and wind
storms, which occurred in several
eastern and central counties On the
Dist. Curing is becoming general in
the principal tobacco growing dis
tricts. Peas r growing nicely.
Melons are ripening and r being
placed on the market; the quality,
however, is generally not satisfac-
tory. Apples continue to drop; pros
poets for other fruit are fair.

a LisTLEss CONVENTION.

TVHAT is PRONOUNCED on all
W sides the most usuess national
convention that has been held by the
Republican party since its organiza-
tiOn IN 1856 viii adjourn at Chicago
today. AS told by The HeraIds cor
respondent in Chicago. the work of the
convention could have been finished by
noon yesterday if the national com
mittee had not told the Chicago hotel
keepers that the convention should re-
main i'm session over Thursday. Every
thing was prepared weeks ago. All
that remained for the delegates to do
was 90 carry out the programme got
ten up for them i'm the White House.
The astonishing lack of interest in
the convention was clearly demon
sJrated at the opening session. As ali
who have attended previous national
conventions know, there has always
heretofore been d wild scramble for
seats. Frequently tickets fall into the
hands Of spectators and are sold by
them at large prices. Nothing Of the
sort occurred on Tuesday i'm Chicago.
When the convention was called to
order less than tWO-thirds OF the seats
were occupied. Spectators stood on
the sidewalks offering tickets at NOM
iual rates, but nobody cared to pur-
chase. Those who wanted tickets
could get plenty of them for nothing.
The mention of the names of Han
ma and Mckinley evoA Cd very much
greater enthusiasm than the first men
tiou of the name Of Roosevelt. The
cheering for Roosevelt was of the most
perfunctory order There was nothing
spontaneous about it. The delegates
were willing 10 vote for the n0mina-
ton Of Roosevelt but they were not
willing to further exert themselves ian
his behalf. IA many a state CONVEX
ton held by the great political parties
more enthusiasm has been shown over
the candidacy OF practically unknown
men. And it viii hardly do TO say
the absence of enthusiasm was due 10
the fact that there was no contest
over the presidential nomination. -Four
years ago I'm Philadelphia there was
uo contest, but the mention of Pres
ident AIcFinley's name was the sig
nal for an oUtburst of applause that
lasted many minutes.
At Philadelphia. 100. it was difficult
90 get seats, and thousands were
turned away from the convention hau.
il was a much less enthusiastic con-
venu-n than the one held in Kansas
City a Few days later but it was so
much more enthusiastic than the Chi
cago convention that &c is hardly fair
20 compare them.
The work OF the Chicago CONVEX
tion and the manner of its doing viii
heishten the hopes that have been
growing iu Democratic breasts these
many months. With the right sort of
candidates on The right sort of plat
form the year 1904 win witness one
of the greatest political landslides the
country has ever known. AN that is
necessary is for the Democrats to do
their work carefully ana well The peo- /
pie viii do the rest.

TERRITORIES AID VOTES.

/ 7 HE PROPOSITION TO eliminate the
J votes of territorial delegates TO
national conventions which was dis
cussed by the committee on rules and
order Of business of the Republican
national convention Tuesday is one
that is worth debating. The question
came up on the request of the Alaska
delegation for six votes, instead Of
four as at present. This in order to
place Alaska on the same footing as
the other territories except Porto Rico,
Hawaii, the Philippines and the Dis
trict Of Columbia, There are six dele
gates from each Of our island pos
sessions but they are entitled to only
two votes, the same as the District of
Columbia New Mexico. Arizona, In
dian Territory and Oklahoma have al
ways had, however. six delegates and
six votes.
That is. those territories, though
they cast no vote for president, have
as much voice i'm the convention as
Utah, Idaho, Nevada, Wyoming, Mon
tana. Delaware or North Dakota. All
of these are states having votes in
the electoral college. Tt is easy enough
to understand that the time might
come when the votes of the territories
would decide a contest for a presiden- /
tiaI nomination. Yet the territories
could not help their candidate for the
presidency after he was nominated. 1t
cannot be said. however, that the res
ideuts in the territories have no in
terest I'm presidential campaigns. They
do have an interest in them but it
seems decidedly paradoXical to give
them a voice in picking candidates and
no voice I'm electing them.
Perhaps the best method OF getting
around the difficulty would be TO give
the citizens Of territories, who would
have a right to vote if they resided
in states, the privilege of voting for
presidential nominees. Surely no great
harm could come from such a con-
cession. Tt also is sure that reason (
able people win not deny the truth
of the assertion that residents OF ter
ritories, when they are citizens of the
United States, are just as good ciC-
zens as dweIlers in the states. They
desire the country TO be prosperous
and well governed and they are real !

That Senator Fairbanks is not re-
garded favorably by all the members

ion held of him by the Philadelphia

paper. In concluding an editorial in
which it was pointed cut that the nom

take, the North American. speaking Of
