Kansas and Missouri Corn.
CHICAGO, Aug. l5.-An intelligent man
connected with the Kansas City press,
who has obtained official and other in
formation relative to tho corn and wheat
crops in Kansas aud Missouri, was in
this city today, and said the latest in
formation obtained through the Agri-
cultural Department of Kansas was that
the extraordinary weight and quantity
s,f thxzx t~n
yOnd former calculation, and the quan
tity expected Is now 81, CO, ,0C0 bushels.
The corn shows even better. 1t will
yield l90,cC0,Oc0 bushels. Missouri
shows 3,UOO,OO bushels Of wheat, and
will lead all other States in corn. The
most reliable estimate places her corn
at 25O.OJU,CJO bushels. These two, Kan
sas and Missouri, help to make up the
deficit of Iowa and Illinois III corn by
supplying 40. .O00.OOO bushels.

NEW York, Aug. l5.-Congressman
Page was met by a reporter this morn

expressed his opinion freely OH several
questions of interest. He first dwell: ON

From reliable sources learn that
large manufactures, especially boot and

which formerly went over to China is
now spent in this country. Whether
the result Is that poverty, or, should

on the forthcoming electiOns"-
Not to any very great extent, though
Of course the fact Of the bill having been
signed by Republican President can
not fail to somewhat strengthen the Re-
pnblicaus. The people of tie State are
realizing that all good measures they
have ever obtained were from Republic
an administrations. The campaign this
year, however, is mainly revolving
around the anti-monopoly issue, tho
chief monopoly involved being, of
course, the railroads. Ths Democrats
have put forward as their candidate a
man named Stonemau, whose sole merit
lies In the fact that since he became a
member OF the Railroad Commission,
one of the three appointed under the
new Constitution of 1873, be has con-
stantiS proposed extravagant and totally
impractioable plans for combating the
power of corporations. His colleagues,
Republicans named Cone and German,
and kcarneyite named Bserstecher,
lately sat down on him. Had one of
them gone over to StOneman, his extrav-
agant ideas would have become law, for
ho Rustp.aA srae Inn xunu IN,
vested with almost arbitrary powers.
1t Is on tie strength of his record as An
anti-monopOly man that Stoneman is
being run for Governor by the Demo
Orats. As il generally the case, they are
going to extremes in this anti-monOpoly
business. Their tendencies are alto
gether too oommunistio to harmonlze
with the sentiments Of the great major
ity Of California. The Republican party
in the State, on the other band, is more
level headed. Although it has inserted
in its platform what might be called an
anti-monOpOly plank, it believes In fair,
honest treatment of railroad companies.
1t looks on railroads IN private property.
and objects to their practical connsca-
ton"

Another.
MILWAUKEE,, Aug. 15.-Apropos Of the
talk in circulation, to
the effect that ON the night Of the ban
quet. before Deuster's time came to
speak, that gentleman's brain was 80
badly muddled BY too frequent "bottling
mp" that he was unable to deliver his
speech. The story undoubtedly had its
origin in the very apparent discrep ancy
between the speech delivered and the
ono previously furnished to reporters,
and which appeared in the papers.
