THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH.
The Recent Conference of Bishops at Rome
Promotion of Archbishop Ryan.

BALTIMORE, Jan. 23.-The Sun prints long
letter from Rome, reviewing the conference of
the American Catholic bishops, The writer
says the object of the American prelates in
visiting Rome was to confer with the leading
ecclesiastical authorities on the best modes of
observance of laws and discipline for the welfare
of religion and morals in the church. her clergy
and congregations in the United States. The
results of the conference will be presented before
the council in Baltimore, in November. The
writer says he questioned Cardinal Simeoni as
the truth of the statement that the meetings of
the conference were stormy and the Cardinal
replied that at no other conference had he seen
more serenity, unanimity and less self assertion.
The prelates of the United States in this confer
ence, he said, had honored their country, their
individuality, and their religion by an example
of peace and catholicity, piety and oneness.
The New York Catholic Review is informed
that the Holy Father has created as archbishop
the coadjutor Bishop of st. Louis, Patrick j.
Ryan This promotion is regarded another
mark of the favor with which the Pope regards
the American prelates recently in Rome.

THE CORN CROP OF 1888.
Eastern States Producing More Bushels Per
Acre than the West.


Acre than the West.
Indiana Farmer.
The final report of the corn crop of 1888 fur
nshes material for serious reflection, while it al
most staggers our credulity at some points. We
know that the New England States are notable
for stubborn. stony soil, and an arctic climate
for nearly half the year. Under these cireum-
stances, but few persons are prepared for an
average report of more corn per acre than In
any of our Western States Massachusetts,
reports a crop of 81 bushels per acre, while Kan
sas with the best crop of any of our Western
States is credited with 35 bushels per acre. The
crop of Indiana is set down at 81 bushels. and
Illinois at 20 bushels per acre, while Maine aver
ages 81 bushels on each acre cultivated in corn.
These figures are the more surprising when we
remember that the climate of these Yankee
States admits only of the cultivation of the little
flint corn, which natures in about 100 days from
planting
We are not surprised at a report of 100 bushels
of corn per acre on our Wabash or White river
bottoms, but when Dr. Nichols on his worn-out
Lake View farm near Boston, raises 100 bushels
per acre the average of a crop Of fifteen acres,
we are astonished- But if our people will read
the agricultural reports of the New England
States they will learn that, because nature
in that region is not lavish in her gifts,
they trust but little to her unaided eff
forts in making crop They manure
literally and cultivate labOrOusly; and they sell
dom overtask themselves in the number of acres
cultivated. Here in the West our climate is
genial, and our soil fertile and easily cultivated;
therefore plant broad acres and trust largely
to nature-seldom think of fertilizers
nure of any kind-cultivate little and trust to
nature for a crop But while the New England
corn crop exceeds the great compromising
States of the West in its average of bushels per
acre, yet if we estimate the cost of the produc-
ton, we will have greatly the advantage, but
still a very grave question IS involved in
this comparison. With abundant and
cheap lands, and virgin soil
that produced almost spontaneously,
could afford this careless cultivation, but the
time rapidly approaches when these conditions
will be changed. With little care we may pre-
serve the abundant supply of organic matter in
our soil, and with it the high absorbent power,
which is an important element of fertility; but
the constant drain npon the mineral elements in
the grain sold off the land must be looked after,
or constantly diminishing crops will be the re
suit
AS our lands appreciate in value on the tax
duplicate we can no longer cultivate them in the
slipshod manner that we did the land that we
had Just paid the government the $l.25 per acre
for the privilege of calling it our home. We
must cultivate fewer acres and more soil.

Those Dickens Letters.
Philadelphia Times.


Miss Hogarth was Dickenss sister law, is
now his executrx and as is clear from such
publication of letters as has already taken
place, was in every sense far more of com
panion to the great novelist than his wife ever
was or could be. For many years Dickens tried,
or thought he tried to be loyal husband, but
long before the separation came whatever of do
nestle heart sentiment escaped from the man
was manifested toward his sisterin-law not his
wife. This may be said without praise or blame.
But it is the best explanation Of Miss Hogarth's
present anxiety There are many things in
those letters that morbid public would like to
read and that Miss Hogarth would rather should
not be read.
In his letters to his solicitor Dickens expressed
himself more earnestly even than he did to
Forster. They would reveal many d secret and
still further weaken his reputation For all that
it is to be hoped that Miss Hogarth will have her
way If there is anything sacred in human ex-
perience it is the letter of burdened and tired
human soul 1t is not for the public to judge
whether OF not these letters should have been
written. And if the commemorative solicitor
who allowed them to be handed down and sold
had no conscience, stiil the public should join
hands with the woman 70 protect the dead.

and The next time follows the same crime with a

the great fault of the jury system lies in that the

minds to compare one case with another There
is no balancing of the scales of justice. These
are some of the objections to the present meth

jaw GOuld'S Cash,

New YORK, Jan. PA report was circulated
in Wall street that Jay Gould had made another
exhibit of his stock, as he did upon memorable
occasion in 1882 Mr. John T. Terry, the banker,
and intimate friend of Mr. Gould, hearing on
Friday the rumor that Mr. Gould was laboring
under financial difficulty impetuously hurried to
his Office to learn the truth of the story. While
there it was suggested he should examine the
new vault of the Mercantile Safe Deposit Com

years at an annual rental of 1000 year. 81

Mr. Terry said, but while l was looking at it L

Western Union stock to the amount of nearly
$27, OO0, 0O0 There was not pin hole in one of
them. They showed plainly that they had never
been used as collateral for loan since they had
been originally issued to Mr. Gould. In another
compartment marked Missouri Pacific, l saw
several bundles of stock. picked up the larg-
est one, and it contained certificates Of over So
600, 900 of Missouri Pacific stock" This exhibit
on the part of Mr.. Gould is considered by the
street to be rather sign of weakness than of
strength.

Pernicious journalism.


Anderson Herald.
Many communities are cursed with class of
writers who deem it most profitable to serve the
depraved and vicious appetite with sensational
scandal, dressed up and made all the more ap-
petizing by a liberal use of vulgarty, profanity
and obscenity, with barely enough decency to
keep the writer and the paper he represents on
eagerly seized upon and worked up into foun-
dation for his rotten fabric. 1t is not always
necessary that the rumor should be based on
facts. Trihes like that must not BIO permitted to
step in and spoil good sensation. No sickly
sentimentality is allowed to interfere with the
reporter in what he considers to be his ironclad
duty No matter whose heart may bleed, the
mistakes and frailties of humanity must be
painted in glowing vermilion and paraded before
the greedy gaze of the deprave3 and vicious,
who draw their moral pabulum from the sensa-
tional and sensual columns of the press.

the people will have to do to effect this change
will be to give the command.

MartinsyiIle Republican,.
Mutt is not hero in any sense. Dukes may
have deserved his fate, but the killing did not
make hero of Mutt. There were circumstances
surrounding the case to palliate but in degree
to justify, the murder. There is a law against
taking human life, and its violation under the
most excusable circumstances is demoralizing
and breeds crime generally. Nuts act was not
heroism. It was murder, and the ladies who
carried him flowers did not honor heroism, but
encouraged murder Such practices are too

ample. To obey the orders of his superiors,
without regard to consequences is the first duty
of every soldier. Any departure from this rule
of action is to change an army made effective by
discipline into an uncomfortable mob. There
should be no sentimentality in dealing with such
men as Porter. On the contrary, the circum-
stances demand that he should be made to feel
the enormity of his acts by being subjected to
the rigor of the severest discipline.
