being 20 600, 900 more than the previous
crop and 12 900, 900 more than in 1879.
In the seven corn surplus states, from
Ohio to Nebraska and Kansas, which pro
duced record of 1.201, 000,0 900 bushels in
the census year, there appears reduction
of about 225, 900, 600, more than 100000
600 of which is in Illinois and nearly 100,
in Iowa. Each state shows a very heavy
increase over last year, in Missouri and
Kansas the total increase being about 240,-
000 coo bushels. In Michigan, Wisconsin
and Minnesota, or the Like belt, the
product is S0,000,0O0 bushels, nearly the
same as in 1879, and an increase of 9,000,-
600 over last year. There is a large in
crease in Dakota and an aggregate in
crease from the Mountain and Pacific
coast region. There is much reduction in
the quality and intrinsic value of the crop
in the northwest from immaturity and in
jury by frost, especially in Iowa. The re-
turns of the wheat production, made with
more judgment, after garnering has been
complete. do not vary more than 5 per
cent from the highest indication of any
monthly returns of the season; yet they
are lower in December, and this renders IL
certain that the permanent estimates can
not surpass 500, 900. 900 bushels and may
fail to reach that figure.

HENRY WARD BEEcHER ON CORNERS.

NEW YORK, Dec 16.-Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher appeared before the senate com
mittee on grain corners to-day. He said
that if any man could .uy all the wheat

he would be a criminal of the deepest dye.
He thought this species of gambling by
merchants was far less injurious upon
public morals than are the effects produced
by church fairs and religious lotteries. He

The Beauty Sues for the Prize.
From the Philadelphia Press.

Adam Forepaugh's $4,000 beauty is
proving anything but an everlasting JOY
to Philadelphia's own Snowman. 1t is a
dull month when one or two of Miss Mon
tague's numerous suits against her quon-
dam employer are not called in the courts.
Latter1y they have been coming in
pairs. Two were called in common pleas
Court. No. 4, last week, and each
involved $4,000. The first is for the
recovery of the $4,000 prize which was
awarded Miss Montague on paper, but
which the veteran Snowman has thus far
failed to deliver. The other $4,000 is
for injuries sustained by being thrown
from a vicious elephant which Miss Mon
tague was compelled to ride in the street
pageants last year. Both these suits were
postponed till January on account of Mr..
Forepaugh's absence from the city. To
day he strikes his tents for the season,
and tomorrow, unless postponement is
granted, he will answer TO two other
actions which are set down for hearing in
Common Pleas Court, No. 1.
The amount involved is SO, 700, the
odd hundreds being seven weeks salary,
which the beauty alleges is due On last
years engagement The $4,000 is for
breach of contract this season. Mr.. Fore

IN her travels about the country this year,
but when the beauty went to Inspect her
quarters just before the Forepaugh train
left Philadelphia on the opening of the
season she found that she was to be
crowded in with lady" bareback riders,
trapeze performers, and other common
people. and that one half berth was re
served for her. She refused to go a step
until the private stateroom was provided
Mr.. Forepaugh. evidently anticipating
such a turn, had already engaged another
alleged beauty, who has been posing as
the original $4,000 prize during the last
six months. This substitution furnishes
Miss Montague ground for a fifth action,
in which she asks $4,000 for the use of
her name. The sixth and she latest suit,
which will come UP shortly, is likewise of
the $4,000 guage, ond calls for Miss
Montague's share in the sales of her pho

to write much after he is 20, unless it be
DR.. Holmes. He ought to write from now

he should ever stop" Mr.. Whittier has

An TMPosITION

The following article from the Freeport
Daily Bulletin, in regard to an increase in
the number of circuit court, which has been
suggested by anewly elected member to the
legislature from Carroll county, clearly
shows the disposition of republican mem
bers to saddle another unnecessary expense
upon the people:
The editor of the Freeport Republican
interviewed the Hon. George Hoffman, on
Tuesday of last week, and published the
result of the confab in his last issue. 1t
may, perhaps, be as well to state that Mr..
Hoffman is one of the recently elected
members of the Illinois Legislature from
this senatorial district, and while the BuIIe-
tin comedies to him the ability to find his
way to the state capital. it takes excep-
ton to bis stat sment, as report
ed by the Republican, "that
there should he one more circuit judge
elected in each judicial circuit" The
Bulletin contends that no more circuit
Judges are needed; that two are sufficient
to do all the work necessary, if they work
as other men are compelled to, and as they
would have to, to earn in their profession
the salary they receive as judges. Look
for instance, at Stephenson. There is not
enough new business on the docket the
present term to occupy the court week.
Judge Brown opened court on Monday
afternoon and adjourned on Wednesday
until next Monday afternoon; and the
chances are that the same programme
will be carried out next week. No,
Mr.. Hoffman, if yon carefully exam
inc your judicial district, you will find,
and so will everybody else, that two judges
are amply sufficient to perform the duties
required of them, provided they do not
have too many adjournments, and further
provided that they work instead of play.
Indeed, the more the question is examined,
the more apparent it becomes that Mr..
Hoffman is paving the way. for an attempt
to pension thirteen more judges upon the
people; to create circuit judge ring that
will feed and fatten at the public crib
without the least necessity existing for
them. If Mr. Hoffman's views on this sub
ject are shared by the republican majority,
and the number of judges be increased as
suggested, it will be an outrage that will
recoil on the perpetrators.

II is said that President Arthur is anxi
Gus to reconcile the opposing factions in
the republican party, and that he finds Mr..
Cameron willing but Mr.. Blaine obdurate.
The Philadelphia Record thinks, however,
that this is a condition of things not likely
to be of long duration, 1t says: "While
it is more than probable that Mr.. Blaine
may not be able to understand the felici-
ties of reconciliation for the sake of recon
Citation, he does understand the value of
the federal patronage. He win unfold like

CROP EaTIMATEs AND CoMPaRIsoEs

The December corn returns to the De
partment of Agriculture make direct COM
parison with the product of last year in
November. The yield per acre was re-
ported, and in October the report of the
condition of the growing crop. The
range of variation in results in these three
separate tests is but three per cent, with
so light difference that the tendency of
correct information is towards the
reduction of the present and final returns.
The aggregate, In round numbers, is / ,625,
000 900 bushels. The permanent estimates
will be published after an analysis of all
the records of area and production of the
year, and an adjustment of all possible
differences The New. England States
show product of 1880, 600. being 1,000.
600 less than last year, and 100000 less
