 THIS CORRESPONDENT WANTS RAIN.
 The drouth, which was indicated by light night rains for several weeks past, is now on in full force. Some springs are already affected. The hay crop is beautifully small, especially in old meadows. An old fashioned June soaker would come in handy just now to revive vegetation in the sos. Rye and oats are immense. Potatoes and corn, though two weeks later than usual, are in fine growth and color. A dry season usually brings good crops.
 NOT so BAD AS EFFECTED.
 Much anxiety was felt by the far mers, last winter, when the electric cables were being put in place, for fear of the destruction of birds. They have been seen sitting on them and we have not heard of any dead birds being found. The cables have kept crows away where corn was planted in the fields through which they ran.

NEGROES BY THE UNITED
STATES.

A most extraordinary treaty with
Hayti was ratified by the Senate in
executive session this evening. 1t pro-
vides that natives of Hayti who may
have been naturalized heretofore in the
United States or who may hereafter
shall lose their citizenship and become
citizens of Hayti by returning to Hayti
and living there for two years.
The treaty discriminates against
Hayti and in favor of the other natur-
allied citizens. 1t tends to show the
contempt with which the rights of the
Negroes are regarded in the United
States.
Such a treaty would not have been
thought of against naturalized citizens
born in an Anglo-Saxon or a Latin
country. There were only five votes
against the treaty. Three Democrats
nd two Republicans
Senators Teller and Patterson were
OF the three that took the ground that
he colored man, wherever he was born,
who becomes a citizen, should be pro-
tected in his citizeship as much as a
man of white blood. Such a treaty
ought to raise the protests of the color
ed man of the country against the con-
temptuous manner in which the rights
of colored men are diregarded by Con-
gress--Roeky Mountain News.
