The wheat crop Of southern Indi-
ana turns out wonderfully, and is
one of the largest the country was
ever blessed with. The AVERAGE
yield is eighteen to twenty bushels
per acre, many places showing thir-
fy-five to forty bushels. A promi-
ncnt statistician estimates the Weld
in the fifteen southern counties of
Indiana at 12,000,000 bushels.

In all probability the question OF
who will be the next governor Of

that it is already settled, and in his

Galveston will only be part of a
necessary formula.

This would show, according to
Mr.. Allison's statement, circulating
medium on November l last reach
Ing 81, ,268, 100000. But we are told
that the banks hold $240,000,000 as
reserves to secure deposltors, and
the treasury, for various purposes,
including reserves, over 5000, 600, 900.
This would possibly show an active
circulation of 1920, 100000, in paper
and metal.
The increase of circulating medi-
um since January 1, 1879, is stated,
we are told, by the comptroller of
currency, at $330,000,000. This
would show an increase for thirty
four months to November l last
reaching some SO, 100000 per month.
This increase has been chiefly in gold
coin and silver certificates, and, as
Mr.. Allison thinks, has arisen from
the favorable condition of our for
eign trade, causing heavy influx
OF foreign gold, and also from the
coinage act of February %, 1873, re-
quiring not less than $2,000,000 per
month of silver to be coined.

Tr;ckev who dealt in articles used by
the Navy Department who had lot OF
lumber that he wanted TO sell for $lOO,-
600 and that il Mr.. Robson would buy
that. Mr.. Trickey would give Mr.:
chandler SO. 900. out of which he would

about that time, but there was nothing
for him to do except to sit it out Robe
son took Chandler to the opposite side
~ the room, where they had converse
ton, and when they came back the
thing had been arranged that Chandler
was to have the 10000. Wadleigh did
not know that he got it, but suppcses
that he did, with perhaps little dis
count. Chandler then wanted Wad-
leiyh TO 90 with him to Belknap, but
Wadleigh said he had had enough OF it.
Chandler has always been the medium
through which the rings in Washington
have contributed to New Hampshire
elections. Jay Gould's money and
John Roach's money has been poured
into the close towns of New Hampshire
until the whole State, almost. is corrupt.
OF course in towns where the majority
is all one way there has not been so
much money used; but in the close
towns there has been an immense
amount of political corruption, and
Chandler is more responsible for it than
anybody else. He has been the means
of the rings contributing; and as re-
suit he has insisted that every New
Hampshire man who goes to Washing
ton shall vote as he says in all those
matters affecting the interests Of those
in whose employ he has been.

A letter from Manchester, n. H., in

the present political campaign by the
Republicans of this State is attracting
more adverse criticism than has been
bestowed upon any otherparty manage
ment which has before been forced
upon intelligent and honorable citizens.
From the beginning until the present
time theie has been nothing but per-
sistent attempt by unpopular and mis-
trusted men to make a New England

zeal prince may bequeath TO whom he

not cost him anything and they would
expect him to subscribe literally ON

LARGE FAMILIES.

1t is not so common in these modern days
the olden times, but occasionally one hears
of large families coming from one pair.
Hiram Blein, of Hickory Town, Montgomery
county, Pennsylvania, is the father of twenty
two daughters and two sons. The daughters
are all married and only two of them are not
mothers. Not long since the twenty-four
children and all the grandchildren made up
a surprise party and paid old Mr.. Blein, who
is sevcnty-nine years of age, a visit. The
occasion was an extraordinary one, and the
visit must have been pleasant one for the
patriarch. OF course, in pOlygamous eoun-
tries the number of children in families is
larger than where mOnOgamy obtains. Some
Mormon families include great many chill
dren. When the Turkish Empire was in its
prime @ hundred children, the offspring of
one father was not uncommon. There is
what may be called a cOmmunistic side to
polygamy which is not usually taken into
account. 1t is only the rich who can afford
to indulge in plural marriage, and the wives
and children naturally eat up large estates.
The rich polygamist of one generation is
generally followed by the poor soldier or
artisan OF the succeeding generation. An
aristocratic class descending from father to
son and supported by great possessions is
impossible in any polygamOus community
where all the children inherit the wealth of
the father.
