The lli-J Road on Earth. The Clover Leaf Route has become known as. the Tourist Line to the North and East, only within the last tew years Why ? First, from its geographical position. add also’ from the energy and enterprise of the management in making the roadbed, tquipment and train service the equal of any. and in catering to the convenience ai d comfort of the traveling public to a greater extent than most travelers have been taught ' to expect, This road adopts, as fast as shown practicable, the lastest devices in all departments. The block system of signals makes collisions impossible and fast service safe and comfortable The I’i.ntsch light on all coaches makes reading a pleasure. Steam heat is uniform in all parts of the car, and the air signal, electric headlight, etc., etc , furnishes a perfect service in that direction. But this is not all. Every sleeping, parlor, reclining chair car, or passenger coach, of whatever description. is provided with commodious smoking room, thus accomodating smokers and at the same time making comfortable any place on the train those to whom tobacco gives offence. The Case service operated by this company surpasses anything we have seen. One can scarcely call lor-a dish in season that they cannot serve you well, and at a price lower than most first-class restaurants in any city in the country. . The case service is not confined to the autocrat of the sleeping or parlor car, but small tables are set in the coaches with the same linen and tableware, the same cooking and courtesy, and the passengei ot whatever class arid ar whatever hour. 12 o’clock noon or 12 o’clock midnight, secures equal treatment. Besides their Tegular rail connections, this company has arranged boat- connections from To ledo via Deficit to Lake points North, such as St. Clair Flats. Sarnia, Saginaw, Mackinac, Petosky, etc. and via Put-inßay and Cleveland to Buffalo. Niagia and St. Lawrence River points The agents of the Clovei Leaf arrange for berths and staterooms on sleeping c irs or steamers, as well as hotel accommodations at all the prominent resort hotels, thus relieving the passenger of all care and assuring the best possible and cheapest rates nt hotels. This is what we think is railway, enterprise as it should be. A railway opef- ° alert tor the accommodation and not inconvenience of the public. This is why the Clover L-as deserves patronage, and why they get it.---Coleman’s I li+tral World, Si. L nis, Mo., May 11th.

The reports as to the condition of the crops throughout hi'» country and the general, effect of the weather upon the growth, cultivation and harvest of same were today made bv the directors Qf the several climate and crop sections. Precipitation: Mote than the usual amount of rain has fallen in the central Mississippi, lower Missouri and lower Ohio valleys and also over Tennessee, portions of the lake region, south Atlantic and east Gulf states and generally throughout New England The actual rainfall exceed two inches over an area extending from the eastern portions of Kansas and Nebraska over Mississipi ami southern Illinois to the eastern Kentucky and Tennesee, the fall reaching from three to four inches over portions of Missouri and Illinois. There was also more than the Usual rain'all over a narrow area extending from central Nebraska westward over southern Wyoming and the northern portions of I Tab and Nevada. From the upper lake region westward to the north Pacific coast, in the central ana western portions oLthe' Gulf states, and over the northern portions of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, the rainfail during the week was less than usual Too much rain, has greatly interfered with cultivation in lowa, Missouri, southern Illinois and Kentucky? where the crop is grassy. Over the eastern portion of the Gulf states, the crop has been improved by rams during the week but in Lbuisana and Texas it continues to suffer from drought. Winter wheat : harvest is well advanced,in Texas and Oklahoma and lias begun as far north as tire southern portions- of Kansas, Missouri and Illinois: wheat is ripening rapidly in Indiana and Ohio. Spring wheat seeding has been finished in North Dakota but some remains to be done in extreme northern Minnesota where seeding has been retarded by wet weather. ~ Indiana: Numerous good rains improved crops: hail and local storms did injury. Wheat and barley are ripening; rye anil oats are in best condition. Corn stands well in clean fields; grass is improved but short, in localities. Ohio: Very favorable week. Some early corn in southern portion ot; state received second cultivation. Wheat ■ maturing rapidly aud’heads filling well, but straw short and thin on ground: crop past any further or special im- | provement: also damaged by by. fly or rust. Considerable tobacco set. Michigan: Cool wet weather has im proved wheat and grass and there, is less complaint of rust and Hessian fly in wheat. Hye nearly all in head and looks line. Corn about all planted and cultivation becoming general. Oats nave grown slowly but in good shape. Cherries and pears badly whipped off" by wind but other fruit very promising. ... E. B.

Lexixorox, Ky., June 4.—Tim Dergocratic state convention met here yesterday in the large auditorium -on the Chautauqua grounds. The occasion was more than the usual state convention, as there were 11 district conventions held in the forenoon to select deb-gates to the national Democratic convention at Chicago, the silver men controling nine of the 11 districts, so that the Kentucky delegation, with its four free silver delegates-at-large, stands almost solidly for the white metal. When the districts were called for announcement of members of the committees and the Fifth district was reached a motion was made to pass it. on account of the Louisville contest-, until after the report of the committee on credentials was adopted. After defeating various motions and ov-rruling points of order the contestant.- withdrew their objections and th gold i / --A 1-8; ..

He condemned in most severe ti-r.p- tin national aduiinistration a- favoring the money class arid disregarding tin- rights of the people. Ho (lesc-ribed how the federal power was usurped for the purpose of defeating the election of a L'nited States senator because he stood on the platform of the people and not of the money power. Predict Peace and Prosperity. He urged the convention to adopt resblutions (1) condemning the calling out of state militia to intimidate the legislature and to disgrace the state, (2) showing what you fought for and will continue to fight for on the silver question, (3) what you want as well as what you don't want; among the latter, no more gold bearing bonds in time of peace, (4/ no more contraction of currency with contracting of popular rights and opportunities, (5) no more enlarging of the powers of the national banking system. , Senator Blackburn discussed at lenght these different propositions, predicting peace and prosperity. He was frequently interrupted by applause and between these outbursts commanded the closest attention. OHIO SILVER DEMOCRATS. Convention In Coliunbus Chose Delegate* to Silver Convention.
