dictate that il will BIO affected by the reported
dimipution of the crops. Everything indi-
Gates larger business, even than was trans
acted year ago. The import and export
statistics at our seaports retain their usual
or more than usual volume, the transactions
of the banks are OF lively character, the
streets of New York are reported to BE-
jsmmed and crammed with loaded teams and
people IA they mover we're before, aud slml-
lar signs Of activity prevail elsewhere
Business interests have received such mo-
mentum within the last two or three years
that IL will take more than ono season OF
inferior crops 10 affect is materially Inc
suspicion prevails also that the crops viii
not DO as poor as they have been reported.
However that may be, there is reserve pur-
chasing power among the people which Is
no, likely to DO attended with anything like
a general scriHping Manufacturing ndua-
tries have spread within the past yesr into
new regions The immigration hSa been
larger than Ia any previous year Of tbs nH'

The Now York Evening Express lakes
the following sensible view of Sergeant
Mason:
Tho people Of Washington are disg'scing
themselves by trying 30 mako hero Of
Sergeant Mason, the soldier who shot u.
Guilesu. Citizens write letters to tho papsts
urging that no DO promoted, petitions are ia
circulation aelxing for his promotion and
subscriptions afe being lcited with which
to pay his counsel. All this is very wrong
and very puerie Instead Of COMMUNICATION

can he dealt out TO him by u court martial
Ho has transgressed tho frat duty of II SOL
der obedience, and no has disyraced the
uniform no wears by becoming would-be
ASSASSIN. II is almost revolving, therefore,
10 learn that q petition hes been prepared 10
the postotilco department and signed by
many persons asking that no may DO pro-
NOTED because he has shown the daring,
GOODNESS, courage and other qualifications
which are required to make good officer
If PoslmAster,G General James is the man the
public believes him to DO he will telegraph
at once to the heads Of his different depart
ments inslrucling them TO destroy this petit
tion. There should be no premium put upon
Assassination. The law will provide for
Guitesu land much more effectively than by
an assassln's bullet.
II isa lamentable feet that tho world IL
full OF simple, innocent minded people, as
the following from the Chicago Inter- Ocean
will attest:
Some Of the letters received by the post
master Of New York have been recently
made public. They form . curious collec.
ton, and set one TO thinking of the truth of
the saying that this Is queer world. A
clergyman wrote some time ago asking the
postmaster II he knew his son, and request,
ing tidings Of him a. he was overcome with
anxiety. The case seemed distressing and
inquiries were msde. At last the young man
was found and proved TO be hard case In
deed. He had been In states prison twice,
and when he was informed that his father
had written, no told them to say in reply
that he was all right, that he had
married an heiress, was very
rich, and being In partnership with
Jim Keene he would like the old man TO call
and see him. One letter came TO the office
inquiring If certain man had good pay
ing gambling saloon, "as he wants to marry
my daughter and says no has." The post
master was forced to reply that he did no,
know. Numerous letters are received in
New York and at other largo offices, ad-
dressed 10 the postmaster, bat containing on.
velopos stamped and addressed TO parties in
other places. This is q ruse TO hide the real
source or locality from which tho letter
comes but Il Is generally destroyed by 9
seperate mark on tho envelope, which roads
for instance, ss follows: MAILED at -
under cover 10 the postmaster, New York"
etc. Letters by the hundreds como to tho
notably rich men of New York. Not know
ing the precise address of Vanderbilt OF
Gould, parties send them letters through the
postmaster and they are remsiled In that
Office with the residence or Office number of
+ the person to whom they arc addressed
added
The Chicago Times says
Doctor Lorimer holds an opinion very diff
ferent to that of Doctor Bliss, and most OF
the other doctors, respecting tho cause and
effect Of tho assassin's bullet. The deed of
the assassin was violation of human law;
yet, in the view OF Doctor Lorimer, ii did
more In u second to promote true religion
than all the doctors Of divinity and evange-
lists could have achieved In n year. II dis.
persed In second moro skepiic-spun cob
webs than the pulpit could have removed in
a year, Is the way Doctor LDrimer states 1t.
The pistol shot that brough, tho president to
the dust brought the nation TO its knees. A
puff Of powder silenced tho facetious elo-
quence of the unbeleylDg Ingersoll, and
turned tho people who encouraged him with
their laughter to repudialo him with their
prayers. The bulwatkS OF inadelity, on
whose construction science, philosophy, and
learning have done their best, foil down, like
the wnlls of Jericho when the priests blew
potential blasts on tho seven rama horns, Mt
the Impact OF an ounce Of lead discharged by
tho hand of fool. The bullet
that wounded tho president has pierced tho
heart OF irreligion, aud the mercurial multi.
tude, who, O few months ago, were crying
Crucifyl at the mention OF Christianity, are
shouting Hosannahl 10 lie Christ, and supplis
eating tavors from its God.
Tho following rather remarkable corn
story 10 from tho s,sid and sober st. Louis
Republican. From the size of Il we fear
that there was a lot Of corn "oorgil"ou board
whom II was indited:
The corn crop of the United States is the
most important crop raised in the country.
II may be called the basis of our agriculture,
for not only Is cora bread material and
largely used as such by great portion of
our population, but IL is the cheapest food
for animals and 10 easily convertible into
bacon, beef, mutton, milk, butter and
cheese, and working-musolo for horses and
oxen, not 20 mention It's convertibility into
spiriis, glucose and other articles OF con.
sumption. A fair corn crop Is about 1900.
