INTEREST LEGISLA ALTON.

The Sentinel in the past has advocated d
low rate of interest. and il still adheres, with
reference TO general principles, to its oft re-
peated declarations upon the subject To
fix the rate of interest ON money so as TO
meet the reasonable demands of lender
and borrower, has always been n difficult
task-a fact abundantly attested by the con-
tinuOus agitation OF the subject. Extreme
views upon this. as upon other questions
relating to the material interests OF in
dividuals and the general welfare of
communities it has been found difficult to
harmonic, but il may be asserted with a
large degree of confidence that Indiana has
reached solution of the interest problem
upon which there exists better state of
feeling among all parties concerned than
has fallen to the lot of any other State in
the Union. The Legislature, two years ago.
by law provided that per cent. should be
the legal rate of interest when no contract
is made, and that per cent. should be the
highest rate permitted by contract. This
legislation was a judicious compromise, and
has given very general satisfaction. Bust
ness men and bankers, borrowers and lend
erS, have adjusted their affairs to meet the
requirements of the law, and now the de-
mand is let well enough alone. We are sat
isfied that the wisest policy is not to disturb
the law/as it stands. 1t is working well.
Under it, in so far as business affairs are af-
fected, results emphasize the conclusion
that any contemplated change would result

The expectation of corn is rapidly in
creasing. which must be gratifying to the
farmers of all the great corn-growiug States
The people of Europe are beginning to UNI
derstand the value of corn, and the more
they know OF it the more they will want
The corn-prOducing capacity of the United
States is practically unlimited, and hence
the demand is never likely to exceed the
supply. In furnishing statistics with regard
to the annual production of corn, the Agri-
cultural Department is doing the people, MS
well as merchants and shippers, good SER
vice; and it is likely TO be as important
in the future to have correct
statistics OF the production of corn
as of wheat. According To the
census of 1870" says a writer in the Chicago
Times, "the yield of corn for the preceding
year was 81. 400, 800 bushels, which in ten
years. or lSia, had increased TO 500, 523 S74
bushels, and again in 1859 to S3s. G9l COB

had not then been established, there was no

annual yield Of grain, except once every ten

their business with any safety. The total

THE WHIPPING-POST FOR WIFE
WHIPPERS.

The chief objection to whipping wife
whippers is that such punishment is out of
date that il belonged to a comparatively bar
barous age, and therefore ought not to be
tolerated in this fHll-orbed noon of Christian
civilization. To whip a wife-whipper is,
we admit something after the barbarous
style of getting even with the wfe-whipping
rascal, but it is vastly less brutal, cruel and
barbarOus than for big burly
ruffian to whip his wife-a crime
which is an aggregation of all that goes to
make up mean, brutal, depraved charac-
ter. The man who will beat his wife has
less humanity in him than an average dog.
Indeed ii is an insult to a decent dog TO
make the comparison. Such a specimen of
brutalized humanity is dead to every appeal
to his reasoning faculties The only way to
teach him i to whip him. A wife bruised
and mangled by heartless, deprayed mon
ster of n husband is "a spectacle well
calculated to fire every manly heart
with burning indignation. TO fine such a
character, to lock him up for few days in
prison, or compel him to work on a rock
pile has no humanizing effect upon acallous
nature. lie improves the opportunity to
nurse his beastly instincts, and, attributing
his imprisonment to the complaints of his
wife, beats her again. Thirty lashes well
laid on teaches the human beast better man
ners. II the public desires 10 hear the last

formed that Indiana took a prom
inent part in the War Of the Rebellion,
and that Governor Porter was not in the
war. But the great work before the Legis-
lature. is to investigate rumors concerning
the Benevolent Institutions. The Journal,
some days since became powerfully i'm

Governor Porter lacked sand; that he was

and every Republican breast became sort
of a fiery-furnace where the Benevolent
Institution goose is still cooking. The in
vestigatiOn Of the Female Prison turned out
to be frst-class farce, as disgusting as 1T
was unnecessary, ana the investigation of
the affairs of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum
promises to be not only farce, but an exhi-
bition of partisan malignity seldom wit
messed The parties to the prosecution
seemingly conscious of the dirty work in
which they we're engaged, lacked the man
hood To make charges and swear to them;
and, as a result. the Committee is engaged in
investigating rumors, and if rumors are not

auction In twenty years-from 1889 to 1859
the increase in the yield was from ST.
492, 392 bushels to s3s, 691. COS bushels. 'In
the fiscal year of 1s5960'', says the writer,
1.-The foreign exports OF corn were 3.3l4.3O5
bushels, which gradually increased TO IA
So. 295 bushels in 1s66-67, ard then declined
till in lS69-70 the amount was only 800. lis
bushels, and since that time there has been
almost a constant yearly increase. The
yield of corn from 1869 To 1880 nearly
doubled, but during the same period the
the exports of corn increased nearly 5000
per cent; or while the exports of corn irf
1S69-10 formed only about one-sixth of per
cent. of the total yield of that year, the ex-
ports for 1880 were nearly per cent of the
crop. And yet so rapid has been the gain in
the exports the amount is still very small in
proportion to the total. 1t is true that a
large proportion is exported in the shape of
provisions, but iii not of that to which
these statistics are intended to refer The
total amount exported in 1850 was 5000, 900
bushels less than one-half a. much rs the
crop of Illinois alone; was 10000, 900 bushels
less than the yield in Ohio; was $4,000 900

but 1000. 900 bushels less than the yield in

600 bushels greater than the crop of Illinois
alone in 1889, and was just 66OOO,O0O bush

foreign expectations OF corn is one of the
cheering signs of the times and the CONNER
cial importance Of the movement can
scarcely be Oyer-estimated.

II is now stated that Hayes drew Tilden's
salary only twice in violation of law. The
law provides that NO advance OF public
money shall be made in any case whatever"
After violating the law twice, Hayes was
informed that it could not be done again.
After that instead of asking for his money
on the LIST day of the month he postponed
the demand to the 18th, and was paid, and
this plain violation of the law has been
kept up ever since. Hayes, it is thought,
has saved 800 by the dodge.
