The true solution of the prosper
ity question is not in the full din
ner-pail alone, but also in the intel
lectual and moral development of the
voters, hat they may vote intelli-
gently for those measures that are
essential to the spiritual as well as
physical good of all people. When
all men come to %apprehend and
practice the Golden Rule as taught
by Christ, all war, crime and blood
shed will soon cease from the earth.

in New York State may break all rec
ords. The supply of the very choicest
sorts is not so abundant, but aside
from these the output is enormous,
and in many cases load after load has
been wasted as the canneries could
not take care of the stock. The crop
of sweet corn,too, promises to be
large, and the quality is all that
could be desired. We are having too
much rain to benefit the crops, and
in many places whole fields have been
turned into swamps. The excessive
moisture has also caused blight in
many fields, and at this writing (Au-
gust 10th) a packer on Staten Island
says that so per cent of the acreage
in tomatoes there is suffering from
blight. Other sections however,
Maryland and Delaware-report a
good crop and the amount to be
canned will doubtless be sufficient to
meet all demands.
A representative of the leading
fruit-growing paper in California is
here and states that the growers
there have troubles of their own.
They have a big lot of raisins and
prunes left over which do not i'm
prove with age, and with a big crop
about due, now the situation is very
much in favor of the man who wants
to buy. Prices of both raisins and
prunes have gone down to a point
that would seem to eliminate all
profit to the growers, and the end is
not yet. The association of growers
has gone to pieces and seems to be
deeply in debt, and it is hard to tell
what the future has in store.

Our New York Letter.
Editors Progressive Farmer:

in the labor world for some time to
come. But here we are up against it
again with a big lockout on the one
hand and a strike on the other, with
from $4,000 to $4,000 in the first and
enough" in the latter. Well, these
things are simply steps in the slow
and painful evolution of the race.
A thing cannot be. settled till it is
settled right, and if it be necessary
that these troubles come, so be it. To
a layman it would seem as if COR
gained labor" were on trial and in
too many cases was making a bad
showing.
As a result of the meat strike.
prices of beef and other meats at
the retail shops will advance two
cents every time the wholesalers put
it up one cent. The "dear public"
pays the bill and the strikers form
a large part of the public. If they
win they pay more for food. Mean
time the farmer gets not a particle
of advance upon the price of his
live stock and all he can do is to
look on. Luckily, he has enough to
eat. 1t is "us poor devils" who are
not farmers nor members of the
unions who are between the upper
and the lower mill-stones and who
have to pay the shot, whoever loses
or wins. Letters just received from
farmers in Michigan tell me that there
is absolutely not a bit of profit in
selling cattle for beef at prices which
have long prevailed. The trust have
- simply put down the prices when buy
ing and up when selling, and so it
will be until something happens-I
hardly know what.
Your readers will have read all
about the Subway Tavernin the daily
papers. This concern is doing a
good business and has some devoted
friends among temperance men. 1t
is. simply an effort to make the saloon
respectable. 1t does, however, give
one something of a shock to think
of its being opened by Bishop Pot
ter with a prayer and thus seeming
to give churchly sanction to what is
regarded by millions as the devils
own work. The New York Sun
thinks hat the whole tone of the sa-
looms throughout the city is much
better than a few years ago. 1t says
1t is not longer an influence in poll
tics, and argues hat such a thing as
the Bishops venture is not at all
needed. Well, anything that will pro-
mote temperance is welcome. and if
the Subway Tavern will turn a con
frmed drunkard even to a ""temp-
perate" drinker, it will be well.

The fact that dollar wheat" is
spoken of in Chicago is not receiving
any great attention. Well-informed
authorities think there is not the
least likelihood of any material adj
vance to the farmer. The only way
he can get a better price is to have
a larger export demand.

Shipmcnts of Tobacco.

The steamer Anne Arundel, of the
Weems line, took on forly-six hogsheads
of tobacco at this port this evening.
They will be taken to Baltimore. Inc
tobacco was grown within few miles OF
this city, aud was brought here on Ran
dali line steamers. This is one OF the
largest shipments of tobacco frolh Alex
andria for MANY years, and recalls remi'
niscences of by gone days when virtually
all of this commodity grown on farms
on the Potomac was brought TO Alexan'
dria where it was manufactured. The
Legislature of Maryland passed law
requiring all tobacco grown in Maryland
to be inspected in Baltimore. That, OF
course, transferred the trade from Alex
andria TO the monumental city.

COIored Man Drowned.

Thomas Murray, well-known colored
man, was drowned in the river opposite
Fort Foote, a short distance south Oh
this CITY, about nine O'Clock this morn
ing. The circumstances in connection
with the drowning are as follows; Mr..
William Rodgers and three colored men,
among them Murray, emerged in bat
teau from one of the inlets near New
Alexandria where they had been en-
ployed by Mr.. L. Z. Smoot. They pro-
ceeded to the channel of the river,
presumably for the purpose of intercept
ing the steamer E. ]. Tull, which was
on her way up the river with scow in
tow. They crossed the channel some
distance ahead of the steamer and awaited
her approach. When the Tull neared
the batteau the occupants made signs as
though they wanted to be towed up to
this CITY. The batteau was on the star
board bow of the steamer and kept draw
ing dangerously near her. Cap
tain Selecman signalled to them to keep
off and was finally compelled to stop the
engines and back his boat. Before she
could gain Roadway eastern, however,
the bow of the Tull struck the small
boat and swamped it, throwing the oc-
cupants in the water, all of whom were
picked up except Murray, who sank
The latter lived at the extreme southern
end of Union street. One night last
winter, it will be remembered, his home
was destroyed by fire. His body has
not been recovered.

Homegrown Vegetables.

There was a creditable display OF coun-
try produce in market this morning
something unusual on Thursday-and a
number of buyers we're present. Home
grown vegetables are becoming plenti-
full, and most of those offered are of fine
variety. The tomatoes are large and
solid and sell at moderate prices-as low
as sc per quarter of a peck. Some are
as large as saucers in circumference.
They are known as the "beef steak
variety. Lima beans have made theiI
appearance, but they are high, selling
at 25c per box. Green corn, cabbage,
potatoes, egg plants, beets, cucumbers,
&c, we're in profusion this morning
The truckers say the season has been
favorable.
