HOW THE CROPS LOOK.

ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK IN ALL SECTIONS. Spring Wheat Ail Seeded—Winter Wheat Headed Out— Corn-Planting Progressing Favorably - -General Condition of the Country Hry—Effect oi the Recent Hard Frost. The grain growing areas of the country have experienced a period of dry weather accompanied by severe frosts which are''thought to have damaged more or less the small fruit, nipped the spring wheat, and what it has done to the winter wheat, which was just heading out, it is impossible at this time to say. WINTER WHEAT. In Central Illinois the prospects now are that the early wheat will be lit to cut by the middle of June. The crop is generally heading out. In Southern Illinois wheat is from fourteen to eighteen inches high. Considerable of it is in head already. There are no signs of fly or insects yet. The frost damaged vegetables and fruit to some extent There was more or less wheat just ready to head out and the earliest wheat may have been damaged. In many of the largest winter wheat countries in Southern Illinois wheat on the bottom lands is over two feet in height, and on high lands about twelve inches high. Northern Indiana reports a cold, dry week, with a recent hard frost The

crop as a whole stands even, and is growing very slowly. The plants aie perfectly,Wealthy and strong, and the prospects are good for a large crbp. Wheat is scarce, and more or less is shipped in all the time to supply the home trade. In Central and Southern Indiana the wheat is from eighteen inches to three feet high. The weather has been dry and cool for ten days. No reports of fly or insect. Harvest will be on about June |2O. In Northern Ohio wheat has made slow growth during the last fourteen days. Late-sown fields where the water has stood are more or less spotted, although the prospects for wheat are as a whole good. In Southern Ohio wheat lias literally caught up with itself. This situation was caused by the

unusually favorable weather during April. Now wheat ought to be on the market by July 4. Winter wheat in Southern Michigan varies all the way from six to ten inches in height The weather has been cool and dry and the crop is doing well. In Southern Kansas wheat will probably be harvested about June 15. Its height is from eight to eighteen inches. In Northern Kansas wheat will now average from twelve to fourteen inches in height. None has headed out yet. In Northern Missouri wheat is now from ten to fifteen inches in height, and just ready to head out. In Southern Missouri the largest wheat is now fqjly twenty-four inches high, and the general condition

of the crop is uniform; the earliest varieties wiil bo ready to harvest about the first week in June. In Tennessee the early wheat is now all, headed out. In Kentucky theie is some complaint of wheat turning yellow on account of the grain louse. These complaints, however, are not very numerous. In Northern Texas wheat is three feet high and headed out. Harvest will commence the last of Way. Oregon reports winter wheat about ten inches high. The April rains helped the fall wheat greatly, and the crop looks better than at this time last season. Harvest will commence the latter part of July. SPRING WHEAT, In the Red River Valley spring wheat is practically now all seeded**' The early sown wheat is coming up evenly and the stand is considered good generally. The acreage is about the same as last year, possibly a trifle larger. There is quite a diversity of opinion with regard to the effect of frost the present week upon the young wheat plants. Some c aim frost is _beneticial, causing it to root deeply and stool out better. While there have been no rains recently, crops are not suffering, although showers

would undoubtedly bo a benefit. In South Dakota wheat is about four inches high. Although the season is late the general conditions arc so much mom favorable than usual that crops will soon catch up. In Minnesota the early sown wheat is generally up all over tho State; the stand is good. corn. * The country is forging ahead rapidly in planting the corn crop. Large areas of corn will be in the ground within the next ten days. Of course in several of the States the bulk of the crop is now in the ground. OATS. During the week tne oat crop of tho country lias hardly held its own. There is no uniformity in its general condition. Nebraska probably shows the best outlook at present for a full crop of any State where a surplus crop of oats is made. In Missouri and Kansas the conditions are not an average; in Tennessee and Kentucky the prospects arc poor; in the State of Illinois fair; very uneven in Indiana and Ohio; in lowa more or less mixed. It is too early to say anything yet with regard to the condition of the oat crop in the Dakotas and Minnesota. The late frost was not confined to limited areas. It swept over the country from North Dakota, where the spring wheat was just coming up, and left its mark upon it, and went upon its journey of destruction across the country as far south as the Ohio River, where it caught the early v/inter wheat, just ir\ head.

Rich Men and Charity. In a recent speech Abram S. Hewitt is reported to have said that he knew but one rich man in New York—and by rich he meant a man worth at leat $20,000.000 who was doing his duty. That man, he said, devoted his entire income, above the sum required for the necessaries of life, to charity. This show's a decidedly high standard on Mr. Hewitt’s part in two respects, remarks the Pittsburg Dispatch. That a man must have $20,000,00H before he is rich reduces the vast bulk of the population to a common level of poverty, while if the rich man gives all his income above the necessaries of life to charity he will do very well—unless

the necessaries for a millionaire include yachts, racing stables and cottages at Tuxedo and Newport. But as there is only ooe rich man who does his duty the crowd of common millionaires and half-millionaires must be reconciled to their poverty and their superior virtue.

Winchesters vs. Negroes.

A terrib’e race riot was narrowly avoided on the Western Railroad at White Hall, Ala., be the coolness and determination of Conductor R. W. Gorman. Two car-oads of drunken negroes, picnickers, were attached to the regular train. The negroes made a rush for the ladies’ car, swearing and

using vulgar language. The conductor, ru'.hing into the exp*ess car, returned with a half-do en Winchesters and s:ime revolvers. Quickly organizing a posse among the pas enge s, he ordered the negroes out. Under the muzzles of the fire-aims they were slowly forced from the car and into their compartm >nt without any bloodshed. The rin ’leaders were ja led. The conductor could hatdly prevent crowos at diff rent stations along the line from assaulting the negroes.

GOOD-BY TO CALIFORNIA.

President Harrison Makes His Last Speech in the Golden State. President Harrison and party made the first portion of their journey in Northern California in a mild rainstorn, the first experience of that kind they have had Jn the Golden State. The President arose early, and was the only member of the party to greet the crowd that gathered about tho train at Tehama,. He was loudly cheered and shook hands with all the people within reach. About half an hour later the train drew up at Red Bluff, where a Ikrge crowd with'a bahd was assembled. They gave the President a most enthusiastic welcome. Captain Mattock, an old army comrade, introduced him to the people. The President in his speech referred to Captain Mattock, and alluded to the number of Indiaua people ho had met in tho State. Continuing ho said: My friends, you have a most beautiful State, capable of promoting the comfort of your citizens in a very high degree, and, although already occupying a high place in the galaxy of States, It will, I am sure, take a much higher one. It is pleasant to see how the American spirit prevails among all your people, love for the flag and the Constitution, those settled andJ permanent things that live whether men go or come. They come.to us from our fathers, and will pass down to our childrens You are blessed with a genial climate and a most productive soil. I see you have In this northern part of California what I have seen elsewhere, a well-ordered community, with churches and school houses, which -indicate that you are not giving all your thoughts to material things, but are thinking of those things that qualify the soul for tho hereafter. We bavo been treated to another surprise this morning in the first shower we have seen in California. I congratulate you that it rains here. May all blessings fall on you like tho gentle rain. [Cheers.] Postmaster General Wanamakor. Secretary Rusk, and Mrs. Harrison wero a'so introduced to the crowd and were loudly cheered. At Redding the President and party wore greeted with a national samte aud showers of bouquets from a throng of school children. The President addressed the throng, saying: My Fellow Citizens: It is very pleasant as wo near the northern line of California after having traversed the valleys of the South, and are soon to leave the State In which wo have had so much pleasurable Intercourse with tho people, to see here as I Have seen elsewhere a multitude contented, prosperous and happy. I am assured ym are here a homogeneous people, all Americans, all by birth or by free choice lovers of one flag and one Constitution. [Cheers.] It seems to me as I look into the faces of these California audiences that life must be easier here than it is in tho older States. I see absolutely no evidence of want. Every one seoms to he well nourished. Your appearance gives evidence that the family hoaird is well supplied, and the gladness on your faces Is evidence that in your social relations everything is quiet,,orderly, and hopeful. I thank you for friendly de’monstrattons. I wish it were possible for me to do more in exchange for all your great kindness than simply to say thank you. But I do fondly thank you and shall carry away from your State the very happiest Impressions and the very pleasantest memories. [Cheers.] The Presidential party at Dunsmulr shook hands with a large number of old soldiers, and thanked the citizens for their reception. They arrived at Ashland, Oregon, shortly after 8 p. m., and received an enthusiastic welcome. A spjcial committee from the Oregon State Legislature boarded the train and welcomed the President. The President made a happy response and also spoke to the crowd at the depot. After a stay of about thirty minutes the train pulled out, preceded by a special carrying the legislative committee and prominent citizens. At Tacoma, Wash., the President and party arrived in the midst of a driving rainstorm. Ho was met at the depot by a procession composed of companies of the National Guard, Sons of,Veterans, a troop of cavalry, posts of tho G. A. R>, Sons of America, Ocfd Fellows, Masons, and others. The President was escorted through the city to the City Park at Tacoma avenue, where the school children wore lined on each side of the street. The little ones, dripping with rain, gav e the President a hearty welcome. When the carriage stopped to enable him to make them a brief address he was covered with a shower of flowers. Tho party reached Portland from Seattle and left over the Union Pacific soy tho East. When the train left Portland the, skies were clouded, but about half-past ten they cleared, and the remainder of tho trip through the picturesque Valley of the Columbia was made in bright sunlight, which disposed tho mountains and cascades in all their beauty and grandeur. One of the pleasantest incidents of the run from Portland was the visit of the President and party to Multnomah Falls. The entire 1 arty left the train and spent several minutes admiring the slender veil of spray falling 850 feet from a cliff. The first stop of any importance was made at the 'Dalles, where the party received an enthusiastic ovation. Responding to an address of welcome by the Mayor, President Harrison said: “I quite sympathize with the suggestion of your Mayor that it is one of the proper government functions to improve and open to safe navigation the waterways of our country. The Government having reserved to itself the exclusive control of all navigable inland water it is of course incumbent upon the Government to see that the people have tho best possible use of them. They are important. as they furnish cheap transportation and touch points that are often e tber for economy or natural reasons inaccessible to rai way traffic.” Postmaster General Wanamaker also made a short address. At Celilo the President visited a sal-mon-canning establishment and was presented with a large box of salmon caught that morning.
