Crises bring political parties to the front. Party platforms are con st meted, ami that party placed in' power, w hich can best convince t he people that il can best redeem its pledges in bringing needed reform. The democratic party was placed j in power at just such a crisis in oilr . National alTairs. This crisis was reached when tin Kepublicans. in stead of redeeming their pledges to reduce taxation and enforce economy, increased taxes and pi ceded to ad minister the government as it it was theirs in perpetuity. A -urplus that was aeeiimulaled through a wise ad ministration of alTairs by a denio- PARTISAN PRAYERS.

I was deferred for a time. Still the key is unfound. As fast as one obstacle is removed a new one pre sents itself. After much consultation a sugar schedule was drawn that was acceptable alike to the House, to President Cleveland and to the “con servative'' Senators, and as the sugar schedule had been the principle ob stacle to an agreement the contest was thought to be about over. Not so however, for before the conferees had fully decided upon that schedule they were informed that Senators CatTcry and ISIam hard of Louisiana, ate amendments became a law the joint committee on printing would t hereby acquire absolute control of the patronage of the (toverment Printing office. It would be a direct slap in the fac** of the Public Printer, and incidentally a blow at the See re-1 Weather Crop Bulletin No. t8.

This eont iimnt ion of l be sugar bounty was refused by both House and Sen ate while the bill was under consid eration. and the demand for it at this time has for the time absolutely biticked agreement. M’hilc the House committee on Commerce has taken no formal net ion on the subject, opinion expressed by its members indicate that a bill along the line of that introduced by Repre sentative llriektier. of M is.. providing that all interstate railroads shall own or control by lease all sleeping ears run over tbeir lines, will sooner or later be favorably reported to t he House, If such a bill be reported an attempt will be made to add an amendment regulating sleeeping ear charges.

August 7.—The past week Inis been rather a gala one with our people. The “big” meeting at Knion a week ago (JHst tilt) was the opening of the campaign of “mud slinging.” vituperation, etc. Such a conglomeration of atTairs is enough to unhinge the faith of voters in the political parties whose banner they have been following so loyally here tofore. Men are seriously discussing the present state of atTairs and in the meantime some very novel ideas are being advanced as a remedy. Me will see what we will see ill the out come, perhaps. The seasons and crops are all we could ask them to be. Roth corn and cot Ion are good; and a fine sea son is in the ground for turnip sow ing. <'bildren's day at Salem last Thurs day was a grand success. The pro gram as published in Tin: Llihu'.k was carried out to the letter. Not less than I.(MNt persons were present. The Klairsville band—twelve Instru ments—was present and did much to make the day pleasant. The Sardis and Flint Hill choirs were led by Mr. Alfred Davis, and the Salem and the Shady Drove choirs were led by Mr. R. A. Foster, assisted by Miss Emma I’lexieo at the organ. The music was good. Several speakers were present and made addresses in tbe evening. Among them was your townsman. Rrof. W.

The week began I and ended with cloudy weather and gave only from two to three entirely clear days in the interior, while along the soul hern coast every day, was cloudy or partly cloudy; north ward along the coast, in the vicinity of Deorgetow 11, there was more sun shine, amounting to about the aver age. The rain fall for the week was ex- I eessive. Futil the Ith showers were scattered and although heavy in places not generally so; in fact some portions of the State were dry and needing rain, but during Sat unlay afternoon heavy showers occurred in many counties and by night of that date a general heavy rain set in. and t lie rain continued falling stead ily, or with short intervals, through to Monday night at which timethe weal her still looked threatening. The rainfall over the cut ire State during this period varies from two to over ( five inches, the exact measurements not being available at this writing. The effect of lliislieavy rainfall on ground already loo wet for the best development of most crops cannot now be fairly estimated, but will be reflected in the tone of next week's Riilletin.
