Pennsylvania Grows Its Own
Wheat.

PENNSYLVANIA does not do anything
by halves. 1t produces more manu-
factured iron and steel than any
other State in the Unicn end more
coal and oil than all the others COM
bined. In the matter of growing to-
bacco to solace the chewers and
smokers it doesn't take back seat
either. 1t turns out more carpets
than any other State, and there is
scarcely an important industry in the
country in which the Keystone State
doesp t stand in the front rank. AS
to rolling up big Republican majori
ties-well, if there is any other State
that wants to compete in that line
they are respectfully notified that
the race is a free -for-all
One would naturally suppose, in
view of the immense development of
the manufacturing and mining inter
ests of the State, that agriculture
would hold secondary place in its
list of great industries. With so
many millions of workers to feed, it
would hardly be expected that bread
enough for every hungry mouth
would be grown on Pennsylvania
soil Marvellous as it may seem,
however, the reports collected by the
official reporters of the State Board
of Agriculture show the last wheat
crop of the State to have been 23,-
100000 bushels. This amount will
furnish the bread for the entire pop
ulation of the State, the seed for the
next crop and leave surplus of three
quarters of million of bushels for
people who can't grow their own
wheat,
This is an astonishing exhibit and
one of which the people of the State
have reason to be proud. A State
that can devote SO great portion Of
its capital and energies to its mining
and manufacturing interests as Penn
sylvania does and still be able te
feed its own population, must be 6
prosperous State indeed, all croak
ers to the contrary Notwithstanding
And Pennsylvania is going to bea'
its present record. 1t has any amount
of lands yet untitled, upon which
abundant wheat crops will be grown
in the future, no matter who is Presi

EARTH'S LOWEST LAND.
A Visit to Deaths Valley in the Desert
Region.

On the 18th of July last, with a
train of five mules and two compan-
ions, one of whom was partially ia
miliar with the country, 1 climbed
the summit OF Cerro Gordo. At last
we stood upon the lofty ridge of the
Telescopes, and bsheld below US the
fateful valley, which lies $50 feet be-
low the level of the ses and extends
for hundred miles northeast and
southwest, with a width of from
thirty to forty miles from east to
west. Upon no landscape can one
look SO deeply into the interior of the
earth, for it occupies the lowest point
of dry land upon the continent and
SO far as 1 am informed, Of the earth
itself. Before us it lies, long, deep,
wide, vast basin, its shining patches
disclosing through the distance Its
beds of soda, salt and borax, which
cover thousands of acre, and blaze
aud simmer and burn in the steady
blaze of light and heat which pOurs
upon them from a cloudless SKI. The
valleys deep declension grows upon
the senses and becomes more marked
sa the eye is held steadily upon it,
and it is emphasized by the swift de-
clivity of the inclosing mountains
Drear and desoiate it stretches it's
full length along in frame of paint
ed mountains, which define, in strong
and mighty lines, its aspects OF ter
ror.
Though leaving the summit at 3
P. NJ, and riding steadily down de-
scending trails night settled upon us
before escaping from the canyon and
reaching the borders of the valley.
By the brilliant moonlight we were en-
abled to trace the trail along the rocky
washes as we rode on into the night
At last, worn and weary with hours
of riding, we reached the centre of
the valley, known as the big Hole, /"
the point of greatest depression.
Though time and exploration have
drawn from out the ancient story
most of its fearful threads, this is
still Deaths Valley and is still and
will remain a region of dread. In
dams familiar with it's face from in
fancy know its treschery and cannot
be prevailed on to go into it beyond
their time worn trails. To the lost
emigrart it was 1.-The valley of the
shadow of death" The daring pros
pector enters it with fear. He knows
its terrors, and the bleaching bones
of many a skeleton warn him to be
ware. Once lost within its embrace,
and mans doom is written. With
out water to cool his fevered frame,
the sweltering air drives him to sg
ony ard bewilderment. Confused,
he wanders without aim. Reason,
unseated by fantasy, gives imagina
ton rein to play tricks with his jud-
cement. Beholding heaven at last in
the mocking waters of the mirage he
sinks to die in the flame of the des.

Men of hasty temper and un-
guarded expression, and men that
have been misinformed repeat, some
times, in these days so remote from
the time of the campaign of Hayes
and Tilden, that Hayes was seated
by fraud. and that Tilden was count
ed out. It was the plan of Tilden
and his friends to settle the dispute
by an Electoral Commission, and ac-
.cept the electoral vote as it might be
sent up from each State properly en-
dorsea by the State officers. Tilden
and ms friends could not then have
afforded 10 look into the returns of
the districts Of the respective States,
for fraud and violence enough would
have been found in sufficient quaint
ty to have compelled the rejection OF
number Of Southern States, which
would have given Hayes large ma
jority in the Electoral College. 1t
Is about time that the people that
talk about the frauds of 1876, look
up all the facts of the Presidential
situation of that time and from the
facts get a comprehensive view of
the situation.

The Work Of Plug Uglies.

The WORK OF Plug UgiieS.
BALTIMORE, Nov. This city was
over-run last night by mobs of half
drunken Democrats, and several at
tacks were made on inoffensive citi'
zens. In the afternoon the Demo
cratic newspaper issued an extra de
claring Cleveland elected The crowd
at once became wild. A procession
Of about 1000 started, but soon was
transformed into q bowling mob.
They marched toward the custom
house and post office, bearing ban
ners inscribed with ''Turn the Ras-
calls Out, and shouting like demons
About 100 of the gang turned of
from the procession and tried to
enter the main door Of the custom
house. The time was after office
hours and but few employees were In
the building. One of the Democrat
ic roughs struck a janitor over the
head with q broken broom handle
The police however prevented any Sc
rious affray.
Later, as the letter carriers were
,,.,sT:no ,.sT, the postoffice with their mail
for the afternoon delivery, another
half drunken crowd carrying flags
and wearing Cleveland badges struck
several of the carriers, and one OF
the latter was knocked down. They
then tried to force their way into the
private rooms of the postoffice, but
were prevented by the police.
The worst outrage was perpetrated
last night, when a mob rushed into
the Carrollton Hotel after Charles E.
M'Garrety, a young lawyer who had
been cheering for Blaine. They
knocked him down, trampled on and
beat him. He was badly hurt. The
police finally elected the gang from
the hotel, after it had greatly alarm
ed the guests.
BosroN, Nov. THE excitement
of the crowds which surrounded the
new spapsr offices yesterday after
noon and last night exceeded that
manifested on either Tuesday or
Wednesday night. The Democratic
newspapers, both in their extras and
on their bulletin .boards, claimed
Cleveland's election, while the Jour
nal as persistently asserted the con
trary, giving as the source of conf
dence the successive Associated Press
dispatches. The crowd contented it
self with cheering or groaning as the
case might be, until about 4:30 o.
clock, when the Journals confident
claims of Republican victory in New
York excited the anger of the multi
tude and fer time it became a mob
Rotten eggs and similar missiles were
hurled against the building, and f.
nally heavy iron bolt was thrown
through one of the counting room
window. The obnoxious bulletin
board was taken down and then re
captured by the Blaine men, who re
stored it to its position amid the
greatest excitement that has been
seen on Washington street since the
days of the draft riots. A laige de
tail of police was then sent for, and
during the remainder of the evening
the crowd was compelled to contine
its Joy or sorrow within bounds. As
the evening wore on the Blaine men

gathering, and their cheers FOR the
