there Is but little doubt now that the road

not the way to build railroads.

"A CONSTANT READER" Is informed that
Illinois, and not Ohio is the greatest wheat
producing State Of the Union. Ohio out
stripped her this year, but this was because
tue crop in Illinois was largely n failure.
latyearthe productionstood, Ohio 40, ,700,-
As bushels and Illinois 6O,95S,757. He is
further informed that West Virginia falls
behind several OF the so.called Southern
States in wheat production, although she
produces more to the acre than any Of them
except Maryland, her ratio being ten and a
i1ction bushels per acre to fourteen and a
Iaction in Maryland. Maryland, however,
uses artificial fertilizers heavily, while West
Virginia does not. Her natural soil leads
all theSoutIlern States in wheat production,
not excepting Kentucky.
Our friend Is further informed that hay
Is the most valuable crop Of the country.
We have no statistics at hand to show the
comparison, but at least approximate
figures can bc got from the Agricultural
Department at Washington. Hay may in
Clule gruss, but, outside Of the question Of
pasture, we should say that the hay crop Is
worth more money to the country than
cotton.

THE VIRGINIA CAMPAIGN.

OF tic HtRthnrn Contest.


WASHINGTON, November r3.-Senator Ma
hone remained horc three days after tho
Senate adjourned, because he thought he
could do Ills cause betterservice In WASH
ington than in Virginia. The Importance
OF that service must have been very ur-
gent, because the Senator said TO me that 1t
greatly embarrassed the campaign for him
to be away for minute. But he has sue.
ceeded in obtaining what he calls "the
resources Of success" He has been able
10 interest those departments Of Govern.
ment where money Ia easiest raised, and
has made Commissioner ltaum a par.
tiCularly active agent in It's colleC.
lection, backed by the Influence OF Senators
Edmunds, 1loar and two or three
others.
1t Is Mahohe's belief that the romna.
ton Of Statham by Arthur will dissolve the
slight rcmaining opposition Of the straight!
out Republicans. Malone did not desire
that Statham should disappointed Just now,
and II was, In his view, q blundcr or a mis-.
understanding, Wilson, the present in.
cumbcnt, would have finished his term
November 8. Malone wished him retain
cd until then so that no oitcry could have
been possible respecting the removal Of a
wounded Republican; but lie also desired
TO have II understood In the beginning that

the administrations sympathy would have
been established in Virginia without an
opportunity for complaint Postmaster.
General James, however, felt that the

ness grounds, and thus the struggle In the
Senate was precipitated 10 MallOhe's great
annoyance.

day how far lie succeeded. Malone adj.
United that the canvass had now reached q
point where the side with the most money
had the better Glance. Keely, however,
keeps very quiet respecting the success OF
his mission.
So mitch Importance Is attached 10 the
impending struggle because, In the opinion
Of many shrcwd politicians, II marks a
crisis In the political history Of The South,
II Malone wins In Virginia, plans have
been made 10 organize similar movements
against the regular Democrats In North

Florida. Malone will be the active leader
In this movement, which will represent the

MISS ANTHONY AND MN. ARTHUR.
The President Urged to Recommend q
WomRn's Rights Committee,


WASHINGTON, November 3.-Aiiss Susan
b. Anthony, accompanied by Mrs. Fer.
nando Jones, Of Chicago, called upon the
President on Tuesday with view Of pre-
scnting to him new phase Of the woman
suffrage situation, and were kindly re-
ceived.
Miss Anthony suggested to the President
that Congress be asked 10 appoint q perma.
nent committee that shall be entirely de-
voted, II not to their interests at least TO
the subjects in which they are interested.
The name Of this committee has not yet
been decided upon, but 1t will
probably be known rs COM
mittce on the rights OF women.
The female committee" Is another title
suggested, and It's chairmanship wound un.
doubtedly be mn interesting position. After
Miss Anthony had concluded, the President
said: "Nliss Anthony, you say you have
been calling for many years upon the diff.
erent heads OF the Administration during
your time, and in pursuit Of this policy
YOU have called upon nc to-day.
You also say that YOU never have brought
this point to the consideration Of any Of my
predecessors. Perhaps you think that | am
the most unsophisticatGd Of them, and for
the reason that you have better chance
In presenting this point 10 me-"
Miss Anthony smiled and said, Eyes;
do think you are grcener than The rest, or,
at least, just green enough to take The
women under your wing"
The President, before Miss Anthony re.
tired, begged that she would submit her
proposition TO him In writing. The reason
for this was that lie desired TO embody II
In his message, and from the manner Of
his making the request Miss Anthony In.
ierred that he would send along witEiit
favorable comment.

A BAD STATE OF ARRAIRs.
Grain Chsaper in liverpool Than In
New York.

NRw YORE, November S,-The autumn
thus far has shown extreme dizziness and
depression in the shipment Of cereals from
this port, and the number OF vessels em-
ployed in carrying grain across the ocean
was smaller than for any previous month
for the past five years, Grain has been
flowing steadily into the port, and, with
no market, the high prices prevent pur-
Chases from shipping grain to Europe. To-
day grain is cheaper in Liverpool than It
Is in this city, and it would pay to buy
grain there and ship 1t to New York II tho
present prices continue, Consequently no
orders for grain from Europe can be filled.
1t is confidently expected that there will
be break in the grain corner during the
present month. In the meantime all tho
stores, elevators and warehouses are filed
with grain, and every canal boat that can
be had has been hired to store grain, Yes
sells that have been in his port Whiting for
grain cargoes are getting tired at the de-
lay, and many OF them are leaving with
ballast for other ports.
