Ex-Attorney General MacVeagh is
reported to give as reason for leav-
ing the Cabinet, the fact that no one
who swindles the Government can be
convicted at Washington. This may
be all true, but it seems to us that the
same result would follow everywhere,

and leave their posts as MacVeagh

From the first figures it appears
that the wheat crop has increased Pc,
CAPITA from S to 81 bushels, and by
the last statistics that the excess o!
of the production Of food grains FER
capita during the decade of 1880 was
I6. 80 bushels over that of 1850. 1t
is, also probable that when the
statistics Of the other farm products
are given, the total Of the increase of
production will be decidedly more
marked than the above figures show.
In 1889 Ohio was the greatest
wheat-growing state and Tennessee
the greatest producer Of corn. Ten
years later Pennsylvania took ,hC
first place in the list Of wheat grow
ing states and Ohio the first of the
corn producers. In 1859 Illinois
went to the front both as wheat and
corn-growing state, and has held that
distinction since. New York pro-
duced the most oats in 1899, IS49
and 1859, but in 1869 Illinois took
the first place and held it in 1879.
Consequently Illinois is the greatest
grain growing state in the Union as
determined by the census statistics
for 1879. In 1879, after Illinois, the
wheat. growing states in regard to
quantity, stand as follows. Indiana,
Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa,
California, Missouri, Wisconsin,
Pennsylvania, Kansas and Nebraska.
In the production of corn, the order
of those producing the most was as
follows: Illinois, Iowa, Missouri,
Indiana, Ohio, Kansas, Kentucky,
Nebraska, Tennessee and Pennsyl-
vania.
1t will be seen by these statistics
that the greatest increase of the pro-
duction Of cereals has occurred
during the last ten years. period
during which the advocates of free
trade assert that the agricultural in
terests have been sacrificed to the
tariff monopolists in the manufacture
ing states. This statement of the
free-trade advocates is not true for
agricultural interests were never more
prosperous than they are to-day, as
the statistics given above fully attest,
and at the same time they cast sus-
picion upon the general correctness
of all free-trade theories. If manu-.
featuring or any other industry was
yielding greater profits than agricul-
ture affords, we would naturally infer
that the rate of production would not
have been nearly doubled during
period that, the agricultural classes
have been robbed in the interests of
the manufacturers, if the statements
Of the free-traders were true. The
facts esta blished by these statistics
completely rcfute the theories of the
free traders SO far as the agricultural
industries are concerned, and prove
as we have always claimed, that the
tariff was for the interest of the
agriculturists to greater extent than
other classes of producers. II ought,
however, to be added, that the Amer
lean free-trade ignores all home made
facts and statistics, and contrivcs to
lie in the interests of British free
trade all the same.

THE NEW YORK
TRIBUNE
" The Leading American Newspaper

During the year 1881 The Tribune hopes to EN-.
ploy with increasing success the work and the
methods which have won for II so large measure
of popular approval. II has attained, and means
never to lose, the high standard cf success which
was aimed at by it's founder the largest
among the best people. So large circulation and
one widely distributed over the entire territory
of the Nation has never been attained by any other
newspaper In the United States. We accept this
fact as the verdict of the American people upon
the conduct and character Of The Tribune. The
position II occupies could never have been gained
nor retained but by pre-eminent merits as a news
paper, as an organ "f sound opinion, and an advo-
cate of just public measures.
Ia short, The Tribune will, as heretofore, con-
tinue To be the medium Of the best thought and
the voice of the best conscience Of the time will
keep abreast of the highest progress, favor the
freest discussion, hear all sides appeal always to
the most enlightened intelligence and the psrest
morality, and refuse peremptorily TO cater to the
tastes OF the vile the prejudices of the ignorant
The well-known special featutes Of The Tribune
will he carefully maintained. Its Agricultural
Department will remain as il Is, the fullest and

Scientific Abstraction.

From the Buffalo Commercial.
Griffin, Edisons private secretary, once told
me fupnily characteristic story of the manner
in which Edison came to get married. The
idea was first suggested by an intimate friend
who made the point that he needed mistress
to preside over his big house, which was being
managed by housekeeper and several SER
wants dare say the idea had never occurred
to him before for be it known he is the shyest
and most bashful Of men, but he seemed
pleased with the proposition, and timidly in-
CURED whom ne should marry. The friend
somewhat testify replied, "anyone;" that q
man who had so little sentiment in his soul as
to ask such a question ought to be satisfied with
anything that wore petticoat and was decent.
and concluded by saying: ''There are number
of nice girls employed in your factory over

It embarrassed the young lady all the same.
she asked time to consider, and Edison
granted her week. At the end of that time
she accepted him, and they were married with
out delay. They had decided to visit the New
England states and Canada and make quite an
extensive tour. AS the bridal party drove to
the station they passed his laboratory. Turn
Ing to his wife, Edison excused himself for a
few minutes, saying there were some matters
that needed his attention and that he would
be at the station in time for the train. The
train came and went and so did several Others.

The gilded youth Of the day wear exceedingly
tight trousers, welldefined waists, slightly sug-
gestive of corsets, hats with curved brims. yery
tall collars, very light ties, and white flower
placed very near their estimable chins. Their
boots taper at the toes to points so sharp as to
defy nature and encourage chiropodists.

trimming, save q rather aggressive rufie
at the edge, should remember that this style

He could show them how to avoid walking as
though with each step the entire weight of the

much less fatiguing to walk we'll than to lounge

Some other philanthropic person might estab-

might point out that 1t Is unnecessary to prop
up the right elbow with the left hand when the
parasol Is held open, or when shut, to carry 1t
as II 1t were baby. It must not be held too
high up the handle, Tor in this case the.points
threaten the eyes OF passers. And, again It
should not be held too near the end for this has

An Episode of Club Life.

Another New York club is stirred from center
to circumference, and the dalies of the great
metropolis recount the facts with great minute
ness. 1t appears that the temple of the Rae
quet club, on the cOrnor of Goth street and 9th
avenue, has been invaded by policemen, who
triumphantly bore away two members. Jose
Aymar and Thomas Bach, and John Whitehurst,
the negro waiter who ministers to the wants of
the Racquet men. The members were comfor-
ta0ly eating frugal repast the other evening
when policeman Of the 1Sth-street station
called Whitehurst to the door, and as that in
dlvidual quickly returned the man of buttons
followed him with the remark that he had
stolen pocket-book and must journey hence
with him. AT this point varying versions of the
raid are given. The policeman asserts that he
gave the waiter permission to change his raj
ment and was about to follow him to his
boudoir, when he slid out of the door, which
Aymar and Bach quickly closed and locked.
However. he shouted from window to another
ofhcer, who ran to the station with word that a
guardian OF law and order was in the hands of
Philistines, and soon force of policemen ar
rived and took Whitehurst, Aymar and Bach
prisoners to the station. The indignant
Racqueters tell another tale. They say
that the officer was without warrant, and
rough and insolent, but finally consented to
remain in the room with his prisoner until his
superior officer was heard from as to the right
Oh arfestlng without warrant; that the door
had no key and could not have been locked !;
that the officers were not opposed except bv
representations, and that Aymar, though he
begged for permission to enter his room and don
some garments, being clad very scantily. as he
had lately come from the bath, was hustled
away by violence and with profanity and very
hard language. Meantime, says the reporter.
some OF the more conservatives members had
retired, fearing for their safety. At the police
court Aymar and Bach, who have 'distaste for
publicity" paid $40 fines and were discharged.
But the end is not yet, for it is asserted that a
policeman tried to knock with his club the inof-
fensive head Of Mr.. Travers. president of the
club and well-known wit, and $40, 600 will be
raised to prosecute the whole array which en-
tered the Racquet's sacred precincts White
hurst, the waiter, was proven innocent and dis
charged, to the sorrow of the policemen, who
see visions Of criminal suits. civil suits. and ali
manner Of complaints which will make them de-
cidedly uncomfortable
