Condition of Cotton Crops.
Wasuington, D. C, June 10.
The returns of the statistical corres
pondents of the department of agri
culture, report cotton planting late,
germination retarded by low tempera
ture and slow development of the
plant. In the entire cotton belt the
temperature of the past three months
is reported below normal, in some
districts two and three degrees below.
The rainfall has also been reported
below normal on the Atlantic coast,
while generally in excess in the Miss
issippi valley, both conditions co-operating
with a low temperature to retard
the growth. Many correspondents
of the Atlantic section report a poor
stand.
The average condition of cotton in
a consolidation of reports is 85.9.
This is the lowest average with one
exception since 1874.

Korth Carolina and Mr. Butler.
National Watchman.
The meeting of the Democratic
State convention of North Carolina
has been looked to for many weeks
with much anxiety, and by some, who
are deeply interested in the reform
movement, with considerable misgiv
ings as to the plans adopted by Mr.
Butler. Every one. however, eon
soled himself with. the thought that
when the 18th of May and the con
vention came, the mists would be
cleared away; but to the utter chag
riq, and astonishment of all reformers
the mists seem to have thickened, and
at present uncertainty reigns supreme
so far as Mr. Butler and his work for
the past three months is concerned.
Some few things have cropped out
which will beur an explanation to say
the least. After the St. Louis con
ference adjourned, ind daring the
session of the mass-meeting which con
vened immediately after adjournment
of the conference, Mr. Butler was put
upon the national committee of the
People's party, which position he ac
cepted After the mass-meetiDg adjourned,
the national committee held a meeting
in which Mr. Butler took a part. He
earnestly requested the national com
mittee to let him manage the cam
paign in North Carolina.
He said if the committee would
leave the State to hitu he would as
sure them that he would bring it up
all right for the People's party. After
stating his plan to the committee, it
was plain that it was against their
judgment, but for the sake of har
mony Mr. Butler was allowed to have
his way. Mr. Butler has been vigor-
m .ft . m
oas at wortt tor turee montns and,
judging. from the results, it. is not at
all clear as to whether he has been
at work for the Democratic party or
the People's party. One thing,, how
ever, is quite plain; the convention
which he was going to fill with his
own heart, nominated a roan for gov
ernor who has come out square against
the St. Louis platform, and as to the
delegates elected to Chicago convention
the St. Louis platform does not . ap
pear to be in it. Mr. Butler is not a
delegate to the Omaha convention,
and it is said he refused to accept the
position. j
In tho face of the above fact?, Mr,
ButlerVfriendB would like to know
whether he has beeti working to give
Mr: Elias Carr the nbmtca'tidn Tor
ihe,,Democratio party, or for the best
interest of the PedpteB party.;"
jDhe thing to begreatlyt regretted is,
Mr Butler has put himself on the de
fensive, and his three months dicker
tog . with the Democratic party has
been lost to the reform movement.
The friends of reform will now have to
begin where Mr. Bufcltr should have
begun three months ago to organize
the State of North Carolina.
It is v$y unpleasant for the Watch
man to be compelled to make these
plain statements, but as a faithful
watchman and guardian of the best in
terests of the reform movement, it has
become its duty to ppeak plainly. It
is a dangerous experiment, usually,
for older and wiser heads to yield
their combined wisdom and judgment
to the ideas of one man.
Judgment in this case should be
suspended until further developments.
In thelueantime it is earnestly hoped
that Mr. Butler will be able to ex
plain satisfactorily his conduct, and
tkat Noith Carolina will yet come out
of the difficulty without material
harm.
