THE COTTON CROP.
December Report of the Agricultural
Department. :
WASHDTGrroir, Dec. 30. The' De-
i - C . , T-k . - C
cemuer report ol mo ueparviucuM ut
Agriculture upon the cotton product
indicates a smaller yield than the
(" returns of the condiVonr in4 October.1
68 in"1883, 88 in the- great "Harvest or
I 1882. and 66 in the disastrous season
ofl88L The returns of the condition
in October and of the product in
December have been unusully diver
gent this year. The first indicated a
larger crop than last year, the latter
product is slightly less or , about 98
per cent The comparative decline
is in the States West of Alabama.
The comparison with last year is as
follows: North Carolina 100, South
Carolina 107, Georgia 101, Florida
103, Alabama 105, Mississippi 94,
Louisiana 78, Texas 89, Arkansas 99,
- -Tennessee 101. .', l .,:
Applying these percentages to our
V figures for the crop of 1883 they indi
cate a product of 898,000 bales in
lVorth Carolina, 502,000 in South Caro
lina, 760,000 in Georgia, 60,000 in
Florida, 661,000 in Alabama, 847,000
in Mississippi, 480,000 m Louisiana,
995,000 in Texas, 513,000 in Arkansas,
and 314,000 m Tennessee. The re
maining territory will probably give
about 50,000 bales. This makes an
f aggregate of 5,580,000 bales These
. ' figures are provisional, and may be
slightly modified by future returns.
It is possible that the general disap
pointment at the outcome of middle
and top crops have made the Decerns
- ber returns unusually conservative,
but it is certain that the rate of yield
? will be much below the average. , . , :.,

The internal ' revenue tar on

000, jpill become due in the next six
months, and ihe whisky men have
found a new means of escaping pay
ment. They have for some time past
been avoiding payment on large
?uantities of spirits by exporting it
or storage and sale abroad. But at
Dresent the foreign market is glutted,
and it is desirable to v await a better
demand. Hence they have asked the
Secretary of the Treasury whether
their whisky may be retained here in
bond, even after the tax fails aue.
provided declaration is made of an
intention to export it. Attorney Gen
eral Brewster having been consulted
by the Secretary in regard to the
matter expresses the opinion that it is
in the power of the Treasury Depart
ment to make a regulation of the
character desired by the whisky men,
Should such a regulation be announc
ed by Secretary McCulloch owners of
distilled spirits in bond will not, for a
while at least, need to export their
property until sold. ? ,

I desire once for all,' eaid Col Fellows,
'in summing up,' to disclaim any cred ;
it for bringing about the nomination
or election of Grover Cleveland. If I
had not opened my mouth on the 8th
of July last it is my belief that he
would have been nominated for the
Presidency. If I had died months be

think that Burchard's death would
have been of vastly and incomparable
greater importance to Mr. Blaine than
