Nor ENOUGH FOR THE WORK.-Com-
plete returns compiled by the inter-
nal revenue bureau show a net in
crease in the collections from distilled
spirits of So, 74S. 299 for the first six
months of the fiscal year over the same
period of last year, which in turn showed
a large increase over the preceding year.
The absolute needs of the service as re-
ported by Commissioner Raum 10 con-
tinue the collection of this large increase
in spirits are: For gaugers and store
keepers, 1878. OOOj dies, paper and
stamps, $131, 1873. The deficiency the
committee have appropriated is: Gaugers
and storekeepers, $500. 900; dies, paper
and stamps, $4,000. This is only suf-
ficient to run about two months, and
at the end of that time it will be neces
sary to shut up distilleries unless the
amount is increased or the work done on
credit.

WHY WE SHALL NEVER STARvE.-
According to recent compilation and
comparison of the statistics of grain pro-
duction of the country made by the Chi.
cagO Times the wheat yield of 1871 was
230, 122, 400 bushels; in 1915 it was 292,
1856 900, and in 1880 it was $50, $40, 723.
In the same period the yield of corn in
creased from 991 ,S98, 600 bushels in 1871
to 1857, 535, $40 bushels in 1880, the
Western States producing the bulk of
corn as well as wheat. The grain area
of 1880 was 1O4, 142. 676 acres-a large
total. but yet 100000 less than the
single State of Texas contains. The
average yield per acre of wheat in 1889
was Is. 3 bushels; of corn, % 9; of oats,
279; of barley, PSI. The value of the
grain products of the United States since
1871 is put down at 80, 900, 000, 000
The value of last years crop is divided
as follows: Wheat, 1853, 55S. 81; corn,
1905, 685, 371; other grains, $177. 389. 269
The growth of the export movement of
grain has been constant during the de-
cade, except in 1875 and 1877. Ia the
former year there was a decrease of
IS, 600, 600 bushels, and in the latter less
than 100000. In 1871 the total ex-
ports of grain from all parts of the
United States were 70, 122, 39S; in 1880,
289, 537, 974 bushels.

The Proposed Com mercial Telegraph
Company.

The New York Produce, Cotton and
Petroleum exchanges have addressed to
kindred bodies in other cities circular
advising the creation of new telegraph
company so constituted that it cannot be
absorbed by any rival company. 1t is
proposed that the voting power on one
half the stock of this company shall be
permanently vested in board of trus-
tees, of whom a majority shall be
selected from among the presidents OF
commercial bodies to be designated here.
after. The circular sets forth the
belief of its authors that $4,000, goo
judiciously invested will give ultimately
as perfect a system of telegraphy as the
system now represented by $50. 1000, 900,
and it proposes that the investment shall
pay, and that after reasonable dividends,
a percentage of the surplus shall be di-
vided pro rata among the patrons who
are stockholders. The circular suggests
the appointment of committee of con
ference by each commercial body to
which it is addressed, in order that SUI
scription books may be opened as soon as
possible at the various exchanges.

4 LAUDABLE PROPOSITION. = The
Pennsylvania Legislature is considering
an act TO pension the surviving veterans
of the Mexican war from that State who
have resided there ten years before the
passage of this act, and who were honor
ably discharged, the pension to be sew
enty-five dollars a year, payable to the
veterans widow in case of her husband :
death, and to continue until the govern.
ment sees fit to grant an equal pension.
We agree with the Norfolk NrgfHian
that if the bill passes Pennsylvania viii
deserve the thanks of all who recognize
the claims of the veterans to the graft
tude of the country, and who are anx
ious to see the survivors Of that memoir
able war rewarded. Her example should
be followed by the other States of the
Union. Such action would be singing
reproach to the government for SO long
neglecting these brave men.

Senator Brown on River and HarbOr
Improvements.


We devote a considerable portion of
our space this morning to the speech of
Senator Brown on the river and harbor
appropriation bill, which speech, as it re-
lates mainly to the improvement of the
rivers and hsIbors of our own State, will
be read with interest.
In his argument Senator Brown has
set forth with great clearness and force
the importance of the Improvements
which he advocates, and the justice OF
the claims of our section to share OF
the government aid which has been
so lavishly bestowed on the rivers and
harbors Of other sections Of the Union.
During his brief term in the Senate
Senator Brown has devoted himself with
untirlng energy to the advancement of
the material interests of Georgia, and if
he has no. been successful in obtaining
all that he has asked for the improve
ment of our harbors and navigable rivers,
it has not been for lack of well directed
and persistent effort, but because the
bill had been already so heavily loaded
with appropriations for less important
works in various sections of the country,
that Congress hesitated to further swell
the aggregate.
