, 'Agriculture J. T.‘ Henderson received
the proof sheet of the May crop report,
w-terdav afternoon. 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.

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 DOMINION A MISCARRIAGE.
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.

■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.

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.
So one stick goes a long way." Just a.s tin
taffv dealer ceased speaking r< presentative
Doughtertv, of Florida, came out of the
house, walked up to the stand, lain down a
man smiled as in- handed the statesman
the one cigarette, and Mr. Dougherty
looked (iv»i it and remarked: "This ,s
rolled too tight. Give me another." He
was a: last satisfied, ami. after lighting it.
