Tin- extracts here given will be found. on the whole, to be encouraging. The crop reported to i o in the worst condition is mil-sown oats. CORN. Tlie acreage is reported al> >vo the average of fee years ill all parts of the state, except in southeast Gi orgia. This N due largely to the winter-killed condition of the fall- so\y r. eats, much of the area that could not i,e reseeded in the spring having been given to this crop. In north Georgia, yvliere there is but a limited area in fall t!,** . the increase in the acreage in corn is reported at one percent, and In southeast jgia. where the oat crop was rot ser iously damaged, the acreage "us about three per cent below the average. In ti e ntiu r sections, and where the damage was greatest, there is an increase of from three to fee per cent, and in some counties as ne -h as twelve per cent.

In north Georgia 98, in middle t i< or pin 86. in southwest Georgia 75. in east Georgia 63, and in southeast Georgia 61. At,out 16 per cent, of the crop now stand ing was sown in the fall. The condition and prospect, compared t 0 an average of five years, for the state is 76 in north Georgia 93. in middle Georgia S3, in southwest Georgia 70. in east Geor gia 73. and southeast Georgia 59. The acreage of the crop has been greatly reduced by the cold winter, a large part of the i rop being entire ly destroyed by freez ing out in January. Home of this was re sown in January, but a large part of this an i in southern Georgia has been planted in corn and cotton. From present indica tions not more than three-fourths of a crop car. be expected. WHAT. The acreage, compared to an average in north Georgia, is 84 ; in middle Georgia, 35. in southwest Georgia. 66: ir. east Geor gia 76, and in southeast Georgia, 100. The condition and prospect in the respective sections 76. 57, 76. 74 and 110. Th> acreage for the whole state is 78. and the condition and prospect 71. There has been a gradual decrease in the acreage of this crop since 18“2. The reports of the present year show r discount of off of about 28 per cent from the average of five years. t'cfavorable reports of the condition and prospect have been received from most of the counties. The crop has been badly winter-killed, and the disparaging condi tion of the crop, as reported at this date, is largely due to this cause. COTTON. The acreage is reported in north and southwest Georgia 97. in middle Georgia 96 in east Georgia 1(0. in southeast Geor gia 98. and in the whole state 9S, The time of planting is later than usual in all parts of the stale. This. in north Georgia, is reported three days inter, in middle and east Georgia, eight days, in southwest Georgia twelve days, and in east Georgia, thirteen days—making the planting in the whole state about nine days later than the average of five years.

The attempt to build up a Canadian na tionality ha.- been the most complete mis- j carriage that can he pointed to in the Ids- j tore of civilized communities. As wi have j predicted, it has been lik. the foxes that i Samson bound by the tails a union cele brated by the burning ofc.ru. It has been i a waste of substance and resources, and Nova Scotia has suffered the most of all. This fact has burned itself into the minds' of our people, and they have concluded I that so far as they are cone-erii.'il the union must tie dissolved. Financially and com- , mei'cmll.v it lias been most destructive. ' For vc ars and years past different govern ments—have urged, argued, almost en treated, for a readjustment of the financial terms of the union, and all in vain. They have appealed to tory governments and liberal governments nt Ottawa. They have appealed to Philip drunk and Philip sober, and the answer has always been the same. There must lie an end to tins mis erable state of affairs. 1, rim ling ill I In* I*n*,lil"ii(. ■St. Louis Globe-Democrat, A leading democratic congressman said to-dav that he wouldn’t cure if Cleveland's horses would run away with him and break his neck. He was reminded that Secretary Bayard would ill that case be president, and that ho had shown himself ns much of a mugwump as Cleveland, in that he had not made a “ingle change in the state de partment. and could scarcely be persuaded to recommend the appointment of demo crats to consulships. The reply of the con gressman to this was that Tom Bayard would be nil right if lie was president: they could manage him. The trouble with him now was that Cleveland ran him. A few days ago Senaior Yoorhees. with a pnrtv of Indiana democrats, called on the president. These gentlemen talked over the political situation in the hoosier state, and told the president something that ought to be done. They president listened to all they had to say, and then bluntly told them that he was not running ids ad ministration in the interest of Indiana. This remark has been spread through the Indiana colony, and the hoosier vocabulary is exhausted every day in manufacturing democratic curses' to liurl at Cleveland. The democrats from every other section of the country are terribly jealous of New York and New York ineii. They run over the list of fat places that have gone to that state, and then weep. They begin with the president and two members of the cabin, t, and end with both assistant secretaries of the treasury, two comptrollers, the treas urer, chief clerk, auditor, captain of the watch, Arc., not to mention messengers, watch men, and unclassified laborers with out end. Cleveland is constantly doing as he did yesterday in regard to the postmaster at Red Bluff. Gal. Congressman H. nley re commended a man: Senator Hears! also recommended one. and was backed by the best democrats of the county. Cleveland went outside of all of these and took a young man who had little or no backing. The leaders say all this is having a disas trous effect upon their party discipline. They cannot hold the boys together with out some assurance that they are to have the fruits of victory. fiootj for t oiiirresMUi , ii. Balt im. :re Am erica n. i was standing at the cigar and confec tionery stand in the house corridor when George Wise, the fiery Virginia member, came out and bought five cents' worth of sugar almonds and mint drops. Ht went away munching an almond as contentedly as you please. I talked with the owner of the stand, and he said that it was very of ten that members got a sweet tooth and came out and bought candy. "I have my regular customers in the house, and sen ate, too. for that matter: but I think my best custome rs are on the bench of the su preme court. Regular}v a messenger boy comes over litre every clay for five or ten cents' worth of candy. Hoarhound slicks is the favorite of the judges. One bites otf a piece and then passes it along the bench.
